25 weeks time

Olé

(I don't know what that means I just like the sound of it...)

Anyway I have gone into my final year of school, the dreaded year 11! We had this assembly the other week where they were telling us to buckle down and work hard. One of the things they said really stuck with me:

'You have 25 weeks until your first exam'

"25 WEEKS! That's not long, I cant be dealing with that yet, no let me be a kid again. I want to be five, HELP" is basically what went through my head. So lets talk...

In 25 weeks time I will be starting my exams which will determine my life chances. But before then I will of had a referral to cahms (a mental health service), I will have looked around, chose and applied to a college. I will of had my final Christmas in school. I will have had my final new year back in school. I will have turned 16: my final birthday in school. I will have spent over 200 hours revising (that's the plan anyway), I will have stressed myself to the extreme, cried an uncountable amount of times. I will have took selfies with all my friends, told them that we will stay in touch. I will have thanked my teachers for all the time and effort they put in to allow me to do the best thing possible. I will of said goodbye to people who have made my life extraordinary, to the people who have cared for me and to the ones who have kept me alive. I will have said goodbye to the place where I have spent the last 5 years of my life. Then that day will come when I will leave and my life will never be the same again.

A lot can change in 25 weeks time and these next 25 weeks will be the hardest in my life. I am going to take advantage of every single day because I don't want to look back and regret the choices I made as each and every single one of those days will be leading up to a life changing moment: results day. I want to do my parents proud. To make those teachers say "she did it". To show those people who didn't believe in me what I am capable of. But most of all to show myself that I can achieve anything that I want to achieve.

Bring it on.

IT'S AUTUMN!

Hey there!

If you couldn't tell by the title it is finally autumn- WHICH I LOVE! I am writing this at the start of autumn (but it may go up later) and in the UK it has been cold most of the summer, basically summer has been autumn which is fine by me. I wanted to do an Autumn themed post so I thought I would do this tag which I found as its not super long.

1. Ok we're talking coffee's - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc?  

Oh wow, this is the first question and I am already failing. I have NEVER been to any of those places and I don't like coffee! The only particularly seasonal drink I would have is Hot chocolate, so if you can buy that there then I will get that.

2. Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?

I literally always wear gloves, I don't really like them its just my hands get SO cold! I have to wear them otherwise I'm pretty sure my hands will fall of. I will also wear boots but tbh I wear them all year round. Occasionally I will wear my snood (is that's what its called or am I just thinking of the Lorax) but not often.

3. Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?

I will listen to what I usually listen to but I will try to get away with listening to Christmas music

4. Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I don't really have many scents, maybe I will wear my Beyoncé perfume as it seems to have an autumnal smell to it, I'm not really sure as before this year I only wore body sprays.

5. Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?

 The Yankee Candle Christmas cookie which is my all time favourite candle, it smells like cookies! What could be better than that!

6. What do you love most about Autumn?

HALLOWEEN! I absolutely love Halloween, it is definitely my favourite holiday. I just love that you get to become someone else. Don't tell anyone but I'm actually listening to Cuckoo by Adam Lambert which I heard on the Halloween episode of pretty little liars right now!

7. Favourite makeup look?

I don't really wear much makeup but I might actually wear eyeshadow this season and I will probably wear eyeliner as well.

8. What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?

Being able to wear jumpers, hats and layers. I just love that type of stuff, it is really my style and its what I feel comfortable in, I even wear them in summer some times...

Thank you for reading, byeeeeeeee x

A little update

Hello there lovely people,

About a week ago I came onto my blog to write the autumn tag I did. I went to add in a picture and it didn't allow me so I just posted the picture without it. Today I came back on to do a post about 'futuristic nails' and it still wouldn't allow me to post any pictures.

I have loads of posts planned including my tutorial of Belle from Beauty and the Beast and the futuristic nails I mentioned earlier. However I can not post any of these as for some reason I cant seem to post pictures.

If you know why I cant add photos or how to fix it then I would love it if you could tell me. As for now I will still be posting just sadly without any pictures.

Thank you for reading this quick update

See you soon, Love,

What's in my blazer - Stuff to take - Back to school

Hey there y'all,

I know that not many schools out there wear blazers or even uniform to be truthful but I live in England so we wear uniform. I'm quite glad we do because my family doesn't have much money to keep on buying me clothes and it would stress me out a lot if I had to pick out an outfit everyday. As I was showing you what I take to school I thought I would show you what I put in my blazer.

In my blazer

So for equipment I wouldn't have this much but this is basically what I take equipment wise.

In my blazer I would have one or two pens and pencils, a rubber, a ruler, a coloured pen and a correction pen (basically tippex in a pen). The rubber is from TESCO and it says delete on it which is sort of a private joke between me and my friends in my Spanish class because my Spanish teacher always says delete the writing on your white board. I know its not funny but anything is funny in Spanish lessons. Then the correction pen is from Wilkinson's and it came in a pack of 2. Now I don't know where the Lion King pencil is but I found it in a bag of old stationary and I got so exited because I'm a literal Disney junkie.

Inside my blazer I also have other stuff such as makeup and tissues etc.

This is everything that has a permanent place in my blazer that isn't equipment. Now I keep 5 lip items in there and you may think that's a bit extreme and so do I but I love lip items so much. So I have 2 baby lips, I have the plain hydrate one and cherry me which is a cherry red coloured and its really pretty but quite subtle so you can get away with wearing it. Also I have two of the collection lip balm, these are so moisturising and they smell amazing, the green apple one is plain and the pink strawberry one is quite pink. For lip gloss I just have one I got given and its like a coral pink colour which looks so nice on. The only other makeup I bring with me is just an AVON mascara.
Also I will have a mirror, my timetable, some chewing gum- my favourite is strawberry (even though it is banned at my school), I will have a scrunchie or hair bobbles, my inhaler and some tissues- yes more tissues!

Also I would put random things in my blazer like letters as I'm usually too lazy to put them in my bag, I would put notes like detention reminders or notes to say why you're out of lesson and then I would usually end up putting food in there so I can eat in lesson.

So, that's it in my stuff to take, I hope this was helpful and what you guys wanted. I hope you've had a nice day,

Love,
Scarlett x
