Clinique Chubby Stick Review

Colour - mighty mimosa 

I have had my chubby stick for nearly a year now and it's still going strong. Now I will admit I haven't used it everyday and I did go serveral weeks without it but I absolutely love it.

My only problem with the chubby stick was that it seemed to dry my lips out despite being moisturising. 

However, I cannot argue with the colour, it's strong and lasts a long time. I have used this product from shopping trips to parties and it is the perfect size, so it fits in your bag.

Also with this colour it is very natural and gives your lips some extra colour and shine thats not to over the top.  

I would definitely recommend this product. Great for a present :) 

Let me know what you think of the chubby sticks or if you have any recommendations for me?

Tip - use a kebab skewer to test if cakes are done. Stick the skewer in the middle of the one cake if come out with mixture on then the cakes aren't done so put in for a little longer but keep your eye on them because you don't want them to burn, now that would be scary !!!

Adult Gymnastics

I was a gymnast so once i was old enough to take part in adult gymnastics i "jumped" at the chance.The idea of doing gymnastics but only doing the bits you want to and being able to push yourself as much as you were able really appealed to me and plus once a gymnast always a gymnast that urge to go and do a flick never goes away. 

After doing a short warm up, we were let loose on the gym... 

Once we had had a little play to find out what we could still do it was time to get back to business. One of my major goals while attending adult gymnastics was to see if i could still do a full twisting back somersault. Well here it is ... 

Once i had done my full twist the other moves just kept in coming... 

Upstart 

Standing tuck back 

So if you are a previous gymnast and want to get back into it or just someone who has always liked the idea  i would definitely recommend it. It is a great way to have fun but also exercise at the same time and because you are enjoying you don't realise how much exercise you are actually doing.

Whoops... what a mix up ?

This week, me and one of my friends decided to go into town after college. After finishing shopping we decided to go and get a hot chocolate and as it has been so cold we couldn't think of a better way to warm ourselves up before heading home.

My friend had put a caramel shot in hers and i had ordinary and the way we told the difference is because the one with the caramel shot had a funny shaped marshmallow. 

Now this is where the mix up comes in, as i started to drink mine i said mine tastes a bit weird, i wonder if they have changed their hot chocolate? but then she said mine tastes strange too. After having a sip of each others we realised they must have changed the glasses when putting them on the tray !!! 

So i guess now we know never to trust weird looking marshmallows but i must say a hot chocolate with a caramel shot = delicious.

First Day At College

As like most people i started back to college on Monday. 

However, after my first year of A levels didn't go exactly to plan i decided it was time for a change. I moved from my local 6th form to college. 
It was a big decision to move to college although i was able to continue my second year and pick up a new AS, the thought of having to go into a year were everyone had already made friends and i only knew 2 people in my year group that had gone to college the year before. 

As the first day came closer and closer i got even more nervous. I had a number of bad thoughts going through my head. "what if i don't make any new friends" or "what if i have to sit on my own and people will laugh at me". 
The night before, i'm not going to lie i had hardly any sleep, which i am sure happens to most people in the same situation when starting a new school and it is not the ideal thing to do either. 

In the morning i made sure i had everything i needed and my mum dropped me off at college. 

As i walked in there were a number of people giving directions and showing people where they should be. That's when i realised that i wasn't the only new person who didn't know anyone, most people where in the same boat. 

After being shown where to go i saw someone who i recognised, one of the girls who had moved up the year before and she introduced me to a lot of her friends and before i knew it i was having conversation with people i had never met. 

I then got my timetable and people are so helpful telling you where to go. I was to busy worrying about what could go wrong i didn't think of the positives. 

So to people who maybe are starting a new school,college or transferring like me just remember its normal to be nervous but there is probably lots of other people who are feeling exactly the same. Just be yourself and be confident enough to talk to people who you are sat next to in your lesson even if it's just a hello and it will all be fine.

My 17th Birthday :)

On the 31st August it was my birthday.

I had a relaxing morning, just stayed in my PJ's and opened some of my cards. When my dad came home from work it was time for presents... Exciting !!!! 

After opening all my presents me and my mum went food shopping since we had no food in the house haha, but this was a good thing because while i was out my sister was baking my birthday cake. 

Later on, my family arrived and i got even more presents (feeling very spoiled) and finally got to eat my delicious birthday cake. 

The treats didn't stop there... me,my mum,my dad and my sister all went out to Frankie and Benny's. The meal was so nice and extremely filling. 

Here is a photo of my birthday cake... 
This is a marble cake shaped like a gingerbread man ... so cute !!!! :)

Thank you for a lovely birthday xxx
