Hey guys!

So basically I've been world's worst blogger lately, I've been blogging maybe 5 times a month and that just isn't acceptable. I've been so unorganised as of late, so any organisational tips would be brill! I had a pretty okay month in March I suppose, still no luck on the job front though, went for an interview and the next day they told me they didn't want to hire me, so that sucked. And last night I discovered that favourite YouTubers Charles and Alli Trippy (CTFxC) have separated, that was strange. I've been watching their videos every day for 4 years and I haven't missed a video (they hold the world record for most consecutive daily vlogs) and it's just sad. I feel like they've always been there when I needed a smile on my face and now that's kind of all over, so I've been on and off crying and watching their videos, haha.
On a lighter note, here's my March favourites!

Songs I've been loving this month:
Oh Bo & Art is Dead - Bo Burnham.
Sad Song, I Feel Alive & Just Keep Breathing - We The Kings.
Broken Crown - Mumford & Sons.
Take It Away - The Used.
Cry - The Used.
Jude Law and a Semester Abroad - Brand New.

Movies I've been loving this month:
Sex and The City: The Movie 1 & 2.
V/H/S.
Hostel 1, 2 & 3.
Clerks II.
The Exorcist.
What. (Bo Burnham's latest stand-up show)
Cabin Fever 2.

TV Shows I've been loving this month:
I've been absolutely loving The IT Crowd, Richard Ayoade is absolutely fall of your chair, crying on the floor hilarious and I've also been loving Sex and The City, I've only watched about 6 episodes but I love it and I'm absolutely begging for the box set for my birthday in May, hahaha.

Drinks I've been loving this month:
Juiceburst's Blood Orange Juice (it's a mixture of carrot juice and blood orange juice, mm) and Capri Sun.

Food I've been loving this month:
Daim pieces and Ristorante mozarella pizza, yum.

Make up products I've been loving this month:
Rimmel lipstick in 'Oxford St. Fuschia', Sleek contour palette and Collection eyebrow definer pencil in 'black'.

Life favourites:
Is it bad if I say nothing? Like seriously, nothing exciting happened in March at all. I spent 99% of my time indoors either watching movies or job hunting, hahaha.

Am I looking forward to anything next month?
Well, since that implies April, which we're already into (as I decided to write this blog post almost half way into April, ok not really but whatever), there's a few birthdays in my household this month, it's my little sister's birthday on April 20th and she's turning 13, aw, and it's my mum's birthday on April 29th so that'll be nice.
May is full of exciting things though, woo!

I hope you're all doing great! And hopefully, if my motivation isn't at 2% like it has been lately, I should be definitely writing more posts. :-)

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.
Falling - Haim.
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:
Lemon Mousse's from Morrisons, they're perfect.

Make Up items I've been loving this month:
Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo's (see review here), Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in '110' and '107' and finally, NYC's Expert Last Lipstick in 'Blue Rose'.

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

(L to R) 1. I spend my nights reading Elle magazine and eating sushi. || 2. I went to see Rachel for a little while after not seeing her for over a month. || 3. I dyed my hair black and cut in a full fringe. || 4. I went bargain book hunting and found some gems in the charity shops.


(L to R) 1. Buying Grand Theft Auto V is probably the worst thing I've ever done, I'm now addicted. || 2. Dad got excited over his new tablet that he got for Christmas. || 3. I got really drunk on Christmas day, no change there. || 4. Christmas morning was the cutest thing.

I hope you all had a lovely December!
I hope you all have lovely new years celebrations planned also! :-)

That's all for now,
Rachel. xo

1. Naked 3 Palette by Urban Decay. - £37.
The colours in this palette are absolutely gorgeous, I love the idea of the rose gold tones in the eyeshadows, also, who doesn't need another Naked palette in their collection?

2. Artist Palette for Eyes by Laura Mercier. - £36.
To me, this is the most perfect neutrals palette, all it needs is a black and it would be the only palette I'd need in my life, haha! Laura Mercier single eyeshadows are great so I'd like to think the palette would be great too!

3. Kick-Ass 2 DVD. - £9.99.
So, this movie holds a lot of memories for me. I went to see this movie at the cinema when I visited Joe in Essex in Summer this year and it was just a great day. The Kick-Ass movies are up there in my top 10 favourite movies of all time so, this is a must have for me.

4. Evil Eye Silver Bracelet. - £1.19.
I recently bought the matching necklace of this bracelet to wear on Christmas day which can be seen here, I'm debating whether to get the matching bracelet though, obviously since it's coming from China it won't be here in time for Christmas. I just think it'll look really nice with my new circle lenses, I don't know.

5. Vice 2 Palette by Urban Decay. - £37.80.
This is the most beautiful palette I've ever seen. The colours are perfect. There's only two of the colours that I probably wouldn't be able to find a way to make a look out of it but 2/20 isn't bad!
All of the colours in this palette are exclusive to the palette and you can't buy them in single eyeshadow form so that's good I suppose!

6. MAC Lipstick in Up The Amp. - £12.15.
Unfortunately, it's currently out of stock. The MAC lipsticks sell like hot cakes on the Debenhams website, everytime I go to look for the lipstick I want, it's 9 times out of 10, always sold out. :-( I might end up paying the £15 for it from the MAC website, I'm not sure yet though.

7. Pug Eyes iPhone 4 Case by Urban Outfitters. - £12.
This is the cutest phone case, I've been on the hunt for either a pug or cat face phone case for ages! For me, £12 is a bit expensive for a phone case, most I've ever spent on a phone case is £5 and that was a 3D Spiderman case, haha!

8. LA Lakers Slippers - £26.99.
I've been really into wearing slippers lately, I probably can't justify spending nearly £30 on a pair of slippers though but oh well, they're adorable! They also match my Lakers Skullcandy earphones, aw. They just look so cosy, can I have them now pleaaaase?

9. The Lion King Charm Bracelet by Disney. - £15.
As an obsessed Disney lover, I feel that this needs to be a part of my life or else I won't know how to function, haha! How adorable is it though?! This is part of the Lion King Musical collection though (hence there's no cartoon Simba to be found). 

Let me know what you guys have on your wishlists this month!
That's all for now.
