diet time

This weekend I've stayed at my friends house and all I have done is eat. This is no exaggeration, I will run through the list of what I've eat from Friday until Sunday,
Coco pops, a panini, fried rice from the Chinese, spring roles, 4 jam doughnuts, 3 big cookies, 2 croissants, 1 chocolate eclair, many jaffa cakes, dairy milk chocolate, 4 packets of crisps, 4 domino pizzas, domino's garlic bread and lots of alcohol.
So it may not seem loads to some people, but for someone who is only 5'5 and WAS just over 8 stone, it is MASSIVE AMOUNTS.

I don't know why I've ate this much but I suppose I needed it! It feels nice to have a MASSIVE binge and not worry about my weight for a couple of days, but now, I know I cannot eat like that again, so DIET TIME. 

When I say diet I don't mean an actual diet, I just completely cut out the junk and TRY to stick to healthy foods. Tomorrow is the start of it however I know Christmas is coming up so this is gonna be hard! I'll let you all know how it goes. I apologise if some people may not agree with what I'm saying but I just wanted to share with my lovely followers :)
Some people may say, you don't need to loose weight but I believe if I don't feel comfortable with the way I look, there's no harm in eating healthy and at the end of it, feel happier! 
Hope your all well!

I had a fun weekend! hahahaha <3

love life

The Notebook is one of my favorite films ever. I hope for a timeless love like Allie's and Noah's.  I wonder if it exists? I pray it does. I may perhaps be finding out...<3

I have learnt that you should NEVER change for anyone. If they don't like you, f*ck them. Be you. Be true to yourself, don't let anyone change who you are.

I love life at the moment, I love my social life and do have the attitude 'fuck it, I'm young'. It might not be the right one, but it suits me where I am at this time of my life. I want to have fun and be free because after all, I'm young.



Don't let the bastards get you down.
Keep calm and carry on.

i can feel something happening that I've never felt before, hopeless dreaming will start

Olaa chica's! <3 I haven't posted in a while because I've been a busy bee with University and freshers. I love it so far, it's absolutely amazing. I am seriously considering moving to my Uni. At the moment I'm living at home but I cannot explain how much I want to be where my Uni is! Tonight is my first night in and at home as I've been staying at a friends house and going out, so, already I am feeling bored and wishing I was out having fun with my friends. Even if I was just sitting in someones flat...I just want to be there!!


Here's a few snaps of the past few days!








So yeah, just a few! The two pictures at the bottom are from a foam party that's why we look like drowned rats, please don't judge the way I look as the foam completely wiped my makeup off! I'm off out again tomorrow and am just loving life! I recently split up with my boyfriend, and it's sad but I needed to do it for me, I don't want a relationship anymore, he was too full on and extremely jealous which I can't stand in someone. 


Anyway, tomorrow should be good! And I can't wait to start my course and get to know so many amazing people. Uni is seriously the place to be, and I'm gutted I can't be there now. This post may seem like I'm in a down, moody mood ha, but it's just I was on a complete high and now being at home, I feel low! Never mind, plenty more top nights to come. My journalism class are top top top people, I love them so much and we seem to be sticking together and getting to know everyone as we have to spend 3 years with each other!


Another thing I quickly want to say is, I think I wear my heart on my sleeve and I don't want to get hurt, but I think I'm going to, but can't help myself.

if we don't kid ourselves we'll be the leaders of a messed up generation

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well, I apologise for not posting for a while, I've been feeling really 'low' and just wanting my bed for a while. I want to start by saying thank you to those who commented on my post below...you don't understand how good it felt to get some advice and how inspired I now feel to move and forget it. So, I am picking myself up and getting a grip! (It wouldn't let me post a comment on the actual post)
I start University on Monday so I am super excited and I've been busy sorting out the finance and other stuff for Uni.
So just a very quick post of what I've been up to this past week whilst wasting away in my bed!







1. My boyfriend bought me these flowers for our 3 year anniversary, awww <3
2.I adore red bull, could drink it like water, so you can imagine my excitement when my boyfriend bought me this massive can. yummy
3.I bought these shoes from new look because I've been after some for ages...I love them!
4. Clearly the best Cappachino maker in the world! Love making them at work.
5.Caspian pizza and chips. Half mushroom and half margarita. Yes please
6. The worlds best comfort food....Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough.


I'm going to try and do a post about my extensions but things are so hectic at the moment with starting Uni! I have such a huge first week, so I'll be sure to take plenty of photos and show you all very soon!


Just a image I found that has also inspired me. Keep smiling everyone.

who do you think you are, running round leaving scars

I didn't create this blog to write personal posts but you know when something is just on your mind and you need to get it off your chest? Well this is it.
For the last couple of weeks of sixth form, one particular girl made my life hard. I made a mistake more than a year ago and she felt like it was time to tell everyone. She was my best friend and I trusted her with everything and that's what I got in return. 
I had to leave my group of 'friends' as I didn't feel comfortable and I did NOT want to be anywhere near her. 
I understand that I made a mistake and it was wrong but everyone makes mistakes, no one's perfect and I deserve what I get off the girl I hurt. No one else. 
I never ever retaliated once to their constant talking about me, and even the fact that their was a Facebook group made about me, other than delete them all off Facebook so I didn't have to read their sad comments about me, and I even got abuse off them for deleting them? Work that one out. 
I still haven't told her how she's made me feel but oh my god, I am dying to. She thinks she got away with what she done to me and that really gets to me. 
When thinking about this, the thought always comes to my mind...should I just be the bigger person? Should I let her get away with what and how she made me feel? Then there's the other thought....I could tell everyone what she's really like, all those people who think they are good friends with her, they have no idea what she said about them, but I am not that sort of person to go and hurt other people purposely. It just get's to me that she has done this to me, made me an outcast and hate going to the last few weeks of school.
 I thought I'd never have to see her again until I found out she's coming to the same Uni as me but thankfully is at another campus. Hate is a strong word, but I actually hate what she did to me and how she turned everyone against me. 
My Mam says that they can't have been my friends if they chose to take her side and watch her bully me. I suppose she's right but it still hurts to think that they aren't my friends and didn't help me. People I've known for 7 years...they agreed with what she had said but not what she had done...then, why didn't you help me?
I still find it hard and all because of Facebook, how sad right? And I know the solution is to delete my Facebook but then I think why should they win? Why should they bully me, make me an outcast, humiliate me and then practically force me off something I really like? 


Has anyone gone through something like this? I hate her. I really do.

Primark, MAC, and Catch Up!

Hey everyone! It's been nearly a week since my last post but I've been a busy bee with work and other things! Just a few things that I am really excited about....two weeks today until I start University! I literally cannot wait, I've met a girl called Samantha who is on the same course as me and I can't wait to meet her. My family and I are also moving house, which I'm okay about...don't really want to but you've obviously got to do what your parents want! We went to see a gorgeous cottage like house and it was beautiful. Really 'old' looking with wooden beams e.t.c which is totally my Mam's dream house so fingers crossed there! Our house is getting valued on Thursday so it's all really happening! I've got SO much to look forward to these months leading up to Christmas, so bring it on!

Anyway, sorry about that little ramble! This post is about my recent visit to the Metro Centre in Newcastle. I mainly got jewellery but got a couple items of clothing and a new bag for Uni!














I got this bag from Primark and I just love it! I love the shape of it and it fits my books and notebooks in perfectly! I can even fit some perfume, deodorant and make-up bag in it! The colour of the bag is lush, I'm such a massive fan of brown at the moment!





I adore these earrings. As you can see they were only £1.50 and they have a semi precious stone hanging at the bottom of a gold chain. The top has a pink diamond and I just think they are stunning.












Again, these are purchases from Primark. I think they were £2.50 and I love earrings like these. I'm also a huge fan of gold costume jewellery. The green stone in middle stands out a mile! I wore these earrings on Saturday night when I went out :)








This absolutely gorgeous necklace was £4.00 and what  a bloody bargin! My friend bought a necklace like this for £14.00 from Topshop and she wasn't too pleased when I showed her this cheap version! You wouldn't even know that it was a cheaper version though! I love it.












These earrings were only £1.00. They are outlined in diamonds and have a vintage look about them. I love the colours of the face and the background. I just think they look like they are worth more than a pound!










I also got a couple of clothes but they are already in the wash! I bought a gorgeous comfy looking blue and white stripy jumper, a black scarf for winter as I have quite a walk to do to Uni and need to be warm, and some jeggings. I also bought some exfoliating gloves because when my tan starts to come off, I look like a patchy mess! 






While looking around the Metro Centre I came across a MAC counter in House of Fraser. Excited is a understatement! I walked around the whole section literally 20 times scanning every item wishing I could buy everything. I had to bear in mind that I am going to Uni and need to save for freshers so I ended up at the Lipstick counter. I looked at every lipstick possible in a daze. Eventually I was draw to Vegas Volt. As soon as I applied it to my lips, I knew that this colour was for me! YEYYY


I went to a party on the Saturday night and then out around town, I bought a new top from Topshop with a wolf on and wore it with my high waisted shorts and new heels from Miss Selfridge. The top is in the wash because I got beer all over myself. Clever girl. 

So there we go guys, a wee catch up and wee haul! Hope you are all well, I'm gonna do a post about my extensions....bloody bargin if you ask me! Stay stunned! ;)

Sister Makeover!

Hello my lovely followers! As you all know, tonight is bank holiday so I am off out to have a class time with my friends, however, we aren't going into town until half ten, so I had some time on my hands. My sister is up from Kent, so, with a couple of glasses of wine in us, we decided to give her a makeover! Here is the before shot...






and here is the after..............................................................................................................................




What do you guys think of my gorgeous sister and the makeover I gave her?!

right decision?

Hello lovelies! Just a quick post. I've had a pretty sh*t few days. Fall outs and arguments and now one MASSIVE fall out. How do you know if your making the right decision?

I'm blue dab a dee dab a die & something personal

Hello my lovelies! Hope you are all doing well and enjoying your finally weeks of freedom and lie in's! I have plans to go out this bank holiday so I went ahead and done some tanning, so at the moment I am no longer Casper. Happy days! I wanted to wear a nail varnish that really stood out against my now tanned skin (well, tanned for me), so I chose this b-e-a-utiful colour. 



The gorgeous glittery blue is Barry M Blue Glitter. Now this colour looks amazing against tanned(er) skin but not so good against pale skin as it just looks too much in my opinion. It is also an absolute bugger to get off but is well worth while as it just grabs your attention.




It's a great nail varnish and stays on through anything! It is glittery as you can tell and also has a bit of a gritty texture to it but that does not bother me one bit! Imagine this nail colour on the beach with a sexy tan, glistening in the sun? Wish I was going somewhere hot and sunny where I could show this eye catching nail varnish colour off.



I also wanted to show you my new I-phone cover which I am TOTALLY in love with! How old school and amazing is it? I love the bright pink colour!


In the previous pictures, you can all see the bands that I am wearing and I just wanted to take a minute to talk about them. One is for a girl called Chloe Walker and a boy called Kieran Goulding who tragically died last May in a bus crash. They both attended the school that I went to and Chloe was in the year below me and Kieran, the year below Chloe. I knew Chloe and we used to be really good friends but drifted apart like friendships do. Some of her friends came up with the idea of creating wristbands in memory of them and then donating the money they would raise (as I think they were a pound each) to a choice of the families charity I think. I know that they raised A LOT of money and if you walk around the place where it happened, you'd see SO many people with these bands on.

This February just gone a boy called Jordan Peck also tragically died in a motorbiking accident. I knew him from school again and he was my boyfriends close friend. I also used to be in a relationship with him way back in 2009 but hadn't spoke to him for about 2 years. Again some friends of his arranged to have the wristbands made in memory of him and raise money. I personally think it is an amazing idea to remember someone, I wear the bands everyday and look down at them and think of them. 

It tragic times like these that make you wish you made more of an effort. I wish I made more of an effort with Chloe, to rebuild our friendship and I wish I stayed at her house when she asked me. Little things like that. I wish that mine and Jordan's relationship would have worked out but it didn't. It makes it that little bit harder for me as I had more than a friendship with Jordan at one point. It's hard for everyone. 


You can see here that it says their names and Chloe's and Kieran's band has a star on it and Jordan's had a heart. Everyone has been so strong and helped each other through these hard times that we've faced. I hope we can continue on in doing so in helping everyone come to terms with what happened. It's been a year since Chloe and Kieran passed, and it still feels so surreal. That day is such a blur for everyone I suspect and just 6 months since Jordan died. It still doesn't seem real and they are so so missed by everyone.  

It's definitely made me realise to appreciate the ones that you love and don't take them for granted. Love, Laugh and Live! Enjoy your life to the full and try to be as happy as you can. Life's too short. 

Love Leah xx
