Explanation!

Hello Lovelies,

I know it’s been over six months since I posted anything over here, and the reason for that is that if you have read all my posts you would know that I'm currently in sixth form and exam season was coming up and I got cut up revising and having panic/anxiety attacks all the time from the time we started revision till results day which was last week.
It's been a very hard past few months for me, as I didn’t really like the environment I was in and also wasn’t doing the courses I really wanted and with that all other personal problems (like family, illness and ect.) I will admit I kind of lost motivation to write posts and write/ find new content to share with you guys, and whenever I did I felt like it was of best quality so i never gone through posting it so yeah.

After all the revision and things I did my exams and I felt like I did okay (well at least I thought I would get the grades to at least get a place for next year in this sixth form even though I wasn’t planning on staying there) I wanted to be my choice to move not have them telling me I didn’t get the required grades to continue and the only way I would be able to stay would be to only continue my BTEC IT, which I wasn’t enjoying very much but somehow, I got the highest grade in.
So results day came (14th of august) and i got my results back.
I got a distinction star which is equivalent to A-Level grade A* in BTEC IT, I got a B for my AS photography, an E on my AS Media (was 8 marks away from a D, which would have been an pass) and an U in psychology which I wasn’t surprised about because I was never good at in when taking exams so yeah.

I was pretty disappointed especially with my media grade as I thought I would at least get a D but oh wells now at the end of this week I will be going to another college to do an interview and hopefully enrolling there for the following courses:
AS Media Studies
AS Film Studies
AS Creative Writing
And either A2 Photography if the college has the same exam board or re do AS Photography and try and get an A.

So this post it's mostly to give you guys a update of what’s been going on in my life. I will be going to Majorca next week and I will be back on the 1st of September, so I will have another post up before I go but I will be taking loads photos and probably buy some things there and I will have a Majorca post either on the next day that I come back or someday during the week that I come back.

I’m sorry for being gone for so long but next time before I disappear I will warn you guys haha.

Comment down below how is your summer break going? And if you got your results back recently (GCSE or A-Levels) comment down below your thoughts and if you want to talk about anything either e-mail me on misscheerful28@gmail.com or tweet me @misscheerful28

Mini Primark & Superdrug Haul

Hello lovelies,

Last week Sunday I went out to get some shopping done because I needed some new cheap clothes(xD) and I wanted to try a new concealer out.

First I went to Primark. I saw loads of things in New Look before i went to Primark and i did not see much difference in with the styles of clothing that were out and the quality of the clothes looked similar so i thought it would be easier to get what i want in Primark as it would be way cheaper there.

I went in there with only one thing in my mind! FIND A HOODIE!
So I went straight to the part where they have hoodies and joggers and coats. They did not have a black hoodie as I wanted I got a nice purple hoodie and I tried to get a little bit bigger than me so it looks baggy and feels comfortable.
I got this one for £8.00 (in new look the same hoodie was about £12/14)

Near the hoodies and coats there were the hair section and I was in a serious need of hairbands, so I went there and when I saw all the options of colours for hair band I totally lost it so I end up getting the black simple ones and this pink&blue&purple ones!

Then I went T-shirt hunting haha I found two cute shirts one is a plain grey one is a little bit see through but looks amazing with a white or black bra and the other one is a white one with a beautiful LA stamp that says dreaming of life in LA.

Grey shirt was £4 and the LA one was £3.

Then I fell in love with this gorgeous neon leopard print scarf which I did not think twice about buying it. It was £4

Thats all I got in primark! Off to super drug I got myself the Fit me Concealer as I heard very good things about it on youtube and from other bloggers, so I thought I would give it a try.

And last but not least I got two Baby Lips lip balms from Maybelline. I got the blue and pink packaging   one which says its for Hydration which so far is my favourite from the ones I got because it actually does makes my lips feel more hydrated but not for a long time though. The other one I got was the yellow and orange packaging one which says is for Intense Care, I'm not a big fan of this one because it did not make my lips feel like it was being intensely cared (if that makes any sense) it actually made my lips feel a bit dry. 

Each one was £2.99 but it was on sale as 2 for £5 when I got it.

Have you tried any of the Baby lips lip balms? what are your opinions on it and what about the Fit Me concealer, did it work for you/ did you like it?

Let me know in the comments.

Much Love,

Back to "School"

Hello girlies,

One of the reasons I have been lacking on posts this past week or two is because I started sixth form (last two years of high school for you lovely American followers) and for this space of a week and a half that I've been there I've gotten 3 essays and 4 intense researches to do. I promised to do a post everyday this month but it didn't work out as I planned due to those 'homework's', so from now on I'll try my best to post at least once a week not just for you guys but because i want to (obviously).

So heres my "Back to school" haul (kind of xD) :

I was searching for a cute backpack everywhere and when i finally found one on ebay it was out of stock so I searched for the exact same one and found it from another seller (thank god). The bag bellow is by Anna Smith is in the colour turquoise polka dots. (got it for £18.99).

 Then I went on a hunt for cheap school supplies (project books, pens,pencils, labels, rulers, binders and etc) so I went to Tesco's xD thats where I got those project books bellow (notebooks), BiC pens, ruler, HB pencils and that little box of labels which all of that cost me about £17-20 because I got about 5 project books (£2.50 each). I end up not needing those project books because my Sixth Form actually gave some to us (one for each teacher) which I didn't know they would but even though I'm not going to use these daily I use to revise, copy the lesson down when I get home, make notes, do my homework  and also do my own research on (which is very useful and will help me when i comes to revising for the exams).

The binder i didn't buy xD i asked my dad to bring one from his work because it was easier and cheaper.

This pencil case bellow I got it in Brazil at a store called Tok&Stok, cant remember how much it was but it wasn't that expensive. Since I was young all my pencil cases were from there and all see through but in different colours each year xD.

Tomorrow I'll be going out to get more things which are missing for some of my lesson. For example a huge A3 folder to carry my photography books in, Hole-puncher to make holes on my paper to put in my binder and also a new pack or just one eraser haha.

Did you just go back to School/College/Sixth form? What did you get?

Much Love,

Sixth Form(College) Courses (A-Level's & BTEC Level 3's)

Hello lovely readers/followers,

So as you know I'm sixteen and that mean I just started Sixth Form(College) meaning new subjects, grade boundaries, new people and new environment.
I started Sixth Form(College) on the 4th of september and i choose to do A-level Media studies, A-Level Psychology, A-Level Drama and BTEC Level 3 Photography.

One of the first lessons I had was Psychology and when i first choose it i always thought it was going to be boring and that I wouldn't enjoy it at all and I actually do like it is one of my favourite subjects in College. We are learning about attachment and memory :)

 Then I had Media Studies which I've loved since year 10 when I first started doing in secondary school. When I got in the class it hit me that I never actually learnt the media language and techniques and certain key terms but that wont stop me from loving the subject (so after the first day when I got home I went straight to the computer and researched everything I needed to know). We're learning all the Media Language and techniques and about Action Adventure Films. Also my favourite subject.

Then I had Drama, which is something I enjoy doing and find very useful in life (to build up your confidence) to speak to groups of people or even just one person. I had about four lessons of drama and I noticed that it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do for more two years so I changed, for BTEC lEVEL 3 ICT which doesn't sound or is very fun to do but for the career I want to proceed is very useful in a way.

Then Finally I had Photography which is something people find it very easy because they think is all about having a camera/phone and take a "awesome" picture and that makes them a photographer (no offence to anyone). What I love about this course is that we learn the history, the techniques, we learn about other photographers and everything that would relate to photography and graphic design.

 Are you in College/University? What subjects are you doing? Do you enjoy them?Let me know in the comments bellow.

Much Love,

Spring Favourites!

Helloo,

So how it's spring I decided to share with you guys, what has been my favourites through out this season.

Nails

Tribal/French nails designes!

As my school doesn't allow the students to wear nail vanish on their nails, I have to do something simple on my nails so they wont notice I have it on. For spring I normally either just do french nails or just live it without no nails vanish just with the base, but this year I got the fascination with tribal nail designs so I gave it a try :)

Hair

For spring I like the curly/wet look on my hair, so I normally mousse it. 

It gives my hair volume and it's very piratical and quick to apply.

Books

When Summer Ends by Isabelle Rae (iBook Store) & While It Lasts by Abbi Glines

When summer ends is about a girl called Chloe Henderson who has never been one to break the rules or push the boundaries... but during her summer break, she and her friends use fake IDs to sneak into a club. It's there that she meets handsome and alluring bartender, Will Morris. The pair hit it off immediately, growing closer with every passing day. But as with every summer, it has to end sometime. Chloe's senior year approaches and there's a shock in store when she returns to do her final year at school. Will is there too, but he's not one of her fellow students... A tale of forbidden love, broken hearts, friendship, and rivalry.

While it lasts is about a guy called Cage York who has a free ride to college for baseball - or he did, until he got in trouble for drink-driving. Now he has to give in to his coach's demands and spend his summer baling hay. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows. Oh and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he's ever seen.

Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbour, had been the centre of those goals. He'd been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she'd received the phone call from Josh's mother saying he'd been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva's carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible. Now she has to deal with the arrogant Cage York and his irritating smile.

But as the summer bailing hay rolls by, Cage and Eva learn that what they want (and need) may be something they never saw coming.

I really recommend you guys to ready both these books they are absolutely amazing!!

Candles 

Jelly Belly Very Cherry!

If you like scented candles and Jelly Belly this is literally for you!

I keep it in my room and whenever I light it up it actually manages to leave the whole house smellying so nice that it gives the felling that I'm in a candy store!

Fragrances

Ralph Lauren perfume (Blue one) I have no idea the actually name of it but I just know that I've loved this perfume since I was little and I still love it so much!

Make up

I actually don't have a favourite make up or make up routine for spring because I never actually change how I do my make up every season, so I'm going to do a post on my make up routine so you guys know what I usually use and do.

Much love,

Semicolon Project 461

Today on the 16th of April 2013
Everyone who self harms, is suicidal, depressed, has anxiety, is unhappy, going through a broken heart, just lost a loved one, etc should have drawn a semicolon on their wrist. Like I did:

This semicolon represents a sentence the author could've ended, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.
I felt like blogging about this because not everyone is comfortable when it comes to talking about what they have been through & how they feel about life or what's going on.
So to all of you reading my blog keep it in mind that I'm here to talk and listen. If you ever need me. I've been thought a lot of rough situations and other stuff. 
Remember that whenever you feel unwanted, not loved or worthless, there will always be someone there for you and that thinks you're none of that and that loves you very much. You might not notice them or think they care but they do.
Trust me on this.
