Waddup, you guys? 
So I really actually enjoyed April, it was a good month so here goes nothing I suppose.

Songs I've been loving this month:
Dancing with The Devil - Krewella.
Kiss Me Last - We The Kings.
A Part Of Me - Neck Deep.
Every Cheetah Girls song (yes I know hahaha) and I've been loving a whole lot of Jonas Brother and High School Musical (yes really.)

Movies I've been loving this month:
Dogma, Pan's Labyrinth, Fight Club, Dumb and Dumber, This Is The End and As Good as It Gets. Not an awful lot of movies this month, I've been re-watching a lot of old favourites and these are kind of new favourites I suppose.

TV shows I've been loving this month:
So it's basically the exact same TV shows as last month, the IT Crowd and Sex and The City, I have been loving Mad About You aswell (super duper cheesy 80's/90's american sitcom, it's actually super funny). The Big Bang Theory is an old favourite aswell, but I've been watching a lot of that lately. I've also found out that my sister has bought me the Sex and The City complete box set for my birthday this month, yey!

Drinks I've been loving this month: 
I've been really loving lemon juice/still lemonade, it's absolutely luuuush and Fanta Ice Zero (cloudy lemonade essentially.)

Food I've been loving this month:
I'm back on the 5:2 diet again so I've been trying to eat pretty low calorie stuff, I've told myself that there is absolutely no way I'm giving up pizza (how pop punk of me hahaha) and if I have to resort to making pizza myself then I totally will, but basically Chicago Town make these pizza subs and in each sub there's just under 300 calories so I have one of them with a side of sweetcorn and some cherry tomatoes and that's been my go-to meal lately, so that's my favourite food right now. And sweetcorn, I love me a bit of sweetcorn.

Beauty products I've been loving this month:
I've been absolutely loving L'Oreal's True Match foundation, the lightest shade matches my skin perfectly and my skin hasn't been so dry so the formula is pretty good for my skin right now. I also love MAC's Candy Yum Yum lipstick and the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is a godsend.

Life favourites:
There were a couple of birthdays in the house in April, my little sister's and my mum's. My sister turned 13, aw, mum turned 25 for the 22nd time, hahaha. So yeah, that was fun. Had a fun day in Great Yarmouth with my sister, I won a Chewbacca plushie on the grabber and bought a 'wanchor' mug, hahaha.

Am I looking forward to anything this month?
Yes yes yes, it's my birthday on the 23rd and I'm going to Pizza Express with the family and Abbie (yey italian foooood!) and then on the 25th I'm going to Hatfield (like 2 hours away from Norwich) to go to Slam Dunk Festival and I'm seeing We The Kings and State Champs and Neck Deep and Gnarwolves and We Are The In Crowd and omg I'm just so excited.

I hope you all had a great month! :-)

That's all for now,
Rachel. xo

Hello you lovely people,
Well this month, my blogging schedule completely went out the window. I ended up doing one post a week, hahah, oops. March will be better, I promise!

Songs I've been loving this month:
What Did You Expect? - Neck Deep.
Leave Before The Lights Come On - Arctic Monkeys.
R U Mine? - Arctic Monkeys.

Engine 45 - The Ghost Inside.
You & I - Bury Tomorrow.

Movies I've been loving this month:
Wreck-It Ralph, The Great Gatsby, Shutter Island, Movie 43 and Maniac.
I really didn't watch many movies this month as I was very much into watching TV shows on Netflix, haha.

TV Shows I've been loving this month:
Extreme Couponing (got through 3 seasons of that in 2 days) and The Office (US) I watched all seasons in 5 days, I feel like a part of me is empty now, hahaha, I fell in love with Jim and Pam's relationship, aw.

Drinks I've been loving this month:
Dandelion and Burdock and Caffeine Free Diet Coke, mm.

Food I've been loving this month:

Life Favourites:
Well this month, me and Abbie organised to go to Slam Dunk Festival in May with her and her boyfriend, wooo third wheeling! No but it's going to be great. :3 (It's going to be so nerve-racking, but I know I can do it. I went last year, had a few panic attacks but I still had a great time.) I also got invited to go to two job interviews in March, one on the 4th March and another on the 7th and they're both for apprenticeships within adminstration with the NHS.

Am I looking forward to anything next month?
Well, if I get offered a job, then starting my new job, if not I'll be looking forward to sitting at home, watching Netflix and job hunting, woo!

I hope you all had a great February, let me know if anything exciting happened in February or if you're doing anything fun in March. :3

That's all for now,
Rachel. xo

Hey guys!
So it's safe to say this month has been pretty bad in the way of blogging. I've really not been motivated enough to post anything really, but it's that time of the month where I need to do a favourites post so here we go!

Songs I've been loving this month:
Of Mice & Men's new album came out a few days ago *squeal*, so I've been loving every song off that. You go pick that up on iTunes if you wish, 'Restoring Force' by Of Mice & Men ;o
I've been really loving Killswitch Engage this month also, so anything by them. (I'm listening to them now, as I type this.)
White Lies - Man Overboard.
Montrose - Man Overboard.
Frick Park Market - Mac Miller.
Dark Horse - Katy Perry.
Donatella - Lady Gaga.

Movies I've been loving this month:
Considering I've been doing practically nothing this month, I've watched hardly any movies this month which is disappointing, I've basically just been trying to watch the movies that are in my DVD collection that I haven't gotten round to watching yet.
American Psycho, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Tangled, Aladdin, Superbad, American Pie 1 & 2, Carrie (2013).
I've pretty much been loving the same movies as last month but hey ho!

TV shows I've been loving this month:
Sherlock (DID YOU SEE THAT CLIFFHANGER??? OMG), RuPaul's Drag Race (Finished all 5 seasons in a week, wut) Oddities: San Francisco and Criminal Minds - love me some crime shows.

Video games I've been loving this month:
For the first half of January, Grand Theft Auto V controlled my life and now I've been stuck with a load of missions that I've rage quit on so I'm like 40% into the game and I've just kind of stopped playing it, oops. I literally haven't played any video games this month besides GTA, um oops.

Drinks I've been loving this month:
Shapers Sparkling Pink Grapfruit Juice (Boots own low calorie drinks, mm) and sparkling mango juice. I'm all about the juice this month.

Food I've been loving this month:
Gregg's sandwiches in general and Gregg's belgian buns, mm mm mm. Bless my mother for working there and getting a ridiculously good discount.

Make up items I've been loving this month:
Sleek I-Divine palette in 'Vintage Romance' and I don't care if this doesn't class as make up but the Real Techniques Core Collection, them brushes doe.

Life favourites:
Honestly? Nothing much. This month has been absolutely crap in the way of my mental health and my wellbeing in general. I actually thought 2014 would be a tad bit better and at the moment it's treated my awfully so, that's fun! One life favourite though is my friendship with Abbie, she's brilliant. She said to me after reading my new year's resolutions post that she would try to help me get out the house more and do stuff this year, and she's put up with me really well so far, I'm very grateful for her existence and it's people like her that brings back my faith in humanity. So Abbie, if you're reading this, I love you dearly and you're the best okay, you biaatch. ;o

Am I looking forward to anything next month?
I haven't got anything planned, no. I'd like to hope that next month I may have a job but hahaha that's not looking to great at the moment but oh well, I'm trying!

I hope you've all had a great January and 2014 is treating you well! I'd love to hear what you've been up to this month.

That's all for now, 
Rachel. xo

Hi!
I've realised that if I leave any more time to do this blog post it'll be the new year, so I might aswell get it done as soon as possible. These are just some favourites categories I've thought of on the spot, so here it goes!

Songs I've been loving this month:
Doing It Wrong - Anita Blay (Some Girls theme song, haha)
High Regard - The Story So Far.
Take Me - Major League.
Secret Valentine - We The Kings.
Still Waiting - Sum 41.
Berzerk - Eminem.

Movies I've been loving this month:
So for this section, I'm going to put them in categories as I watched so many good movies in October.
Horror: Psycho, Carrie, Human Centipede 2, Silent Hill: Revelation and Bride Of Chucky (I would quite happily say that the Child's Play/Chucky films are some of my favourites in general.)
Comedy: The Campaign, Pitch Perfect, Not Another Teen Movie (as a lover of cheesy 90's teen movies, this is one of my favourites in general aswell) and The Breakfast Club.
Drama: Trainspotting, This Is England and Cyberbully (I honestly don't think I've cried more at a film than I did because of Cyberbully.)
Sci-Fi & Fantasy: (The first two choices are debatable as to whether they're really sci-fi or fantasy but because they're superhero movies, they're going in here ok.) Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2. Avengers Assemble, Star Wars: Return of The Jedi.

TV shows I've been loving this month:
Cake Boss and Cake Boss only. Last week was half term and I got through 3 and a half seasons of that beauty of a TV show. I don't know why I got so addicted, I just did.
Alright, I watched the whole second series of Some Girls aswell. I'm so upset that the second series has finished, I hope they make a third.

Video games I've been loving this month:
New Super Mario Bros - Nintendo DS.
Dead Rising 2 - Xbox 360.
Pokemon Emerald - Game Boy Advance. (Thank god for emulators, hey.)

Drinks I've been loving this month:
Cookie dough flavour Frijj milkshake, Pepsi Max and Pink Lemonade flavour Lucozade.

Food I've been loving this month:
Sweetcorn, hotdog, egg and ham pasta salad (it's delicious, I promise.)

Make up items I've been loving this month: There's not been an awful lot as I haven't had much money to be able to buy new items. Esteé Lauder Double Wear foundation, Rimmel Match Perfection foundation (I actually have to mix both of those foundations together to get a perfect shade. Long story short, woman at House of Fraser matched Double Wear a shade too dark for my skin but luckily I had my Rimmel Match Perfection lying around the house in a shade that was one lighter than my skin tone, lucky 'ey?) Great Lash Mascara by Maybelline, Undress Me Too Palette by MUA and MUA One Direction lipstick in the shade I Want.

Skincare products I've been loving this month: Not sure if you can count some of these as skin care but I'm going to anyway - Candy Swirl body scrub by Baylis & Harding, Flake Away by Soap and Glory and Garnier Moisture Match Goodbye Dry, Garnier Soft and Complete Cleansing Wipes.

Life favourites: Well I can't really say anything interesting has happened in October besides finding out I may be going down to Essex for a few days to visit my best friend, Joe for New Years.

Am I looking forward to next month? I don't know, depends if anything decent is happening in November, haha!



So that's been mine October favourites, I really hoped you enjoyed reading it and I might make a habit of it (yey!)

So that's all for now,
Rachel xo
