Being More Aware of Cancer

So this week something hit me, real hard (metaphorically speaking!). And I will try to discuss it the best I can here.
If any of you are big SprinkleOfGlitter fans you have probably seen one of her recent uploads - "My Pink Hair Story" and this is what hit me hard. (If you haven't seen it click the photo below)

My Pink Hair Story

In Louise's video she talks about why she died her hair pink and how Cancer took her mums life. I admire Louise for being able to post something like this on the Internet and stay so positive, but this isn't what hit me.
What hit me is that I will never never meet my Grandad. I never have, and I never will because he was also taken by Cancer. Family has such an effect on our lives and to never be able to meet one of them hurts, unexplainably. I will never hear my grandad's laugh, or see his smile, or give him a hug because the stupid disease thought it was okay to take him from me and my family. He died before I was born so I have never met him and I never will. But I'm not asking for your sympathy and there are many people out there just like me.
What I am asking is that you try and donate all you can to finding a cure for cancer. When my Grandad passed things were not as advanced as they are now and he would have more chance of surviving. So by donating you can help people like me, to no longer exist. Help find the cure to cancer!

Autumn is here!

So as I am sat here with a hot chocolate listening to the vamps new single (eek!), it hit me that it is now autumn and that makes me very happy! So this week I thought I would talk about things that make autumn my favourite season of the year!

So firstly, the arrival of autumn means hot drinks and especially - hot chocolate! Hot chocolate is something that I obsess over during autumn. Hot chocolate just has a very cosy feel, agreed? So I highly recommend you drink hot chocolate this year!!!

Another autumnal thing that I LOVE is blankets and fairy lights, like oh my gosh does it get more cute and fun than that! I think not. There is something very autumnal about snuggling up in blankets with friends or that special someone, sticking on the fairy lights and watching a film, being all cosy!

Then there;s the over sized jumpers, cute scarf's and just being allowed to dress comfy. I always associate cute big comfy jumpers with autumn. Wearing cute ankle boots and wrapping up in a scarf! So basically, I love the "fashion" during autumn.

And then there's Halloween! And while in my house, my parents refuse to go madly extravagant on the decorations, when I live alone my house will become a place of scrumptious Halloween-ness! I love the pumpkins, and the candles, and everything Halloween! FYI I am majorly into decorating places for all events, I just love it! So for me Halloween is bringing much excitement to my life right now!

And lastly, the colours of Autumn bring me so much happiness. The reds, the oranges, the browns. The colours of autumn are just gorgeous!
So I hope that you all have a great October and October means we are one month closer to Christmas :)

A Weekend In Kent

So two weeks ago (I think!) I went away to Margate with the family and this week I thought I would give you a little insight into the couple of days spent by the sea!

The Friday that we went away was at first like a normal day for all of us, parents at work and my brother and I at school. We drove down to Margate in the afternoon, Leaving at around 4 to get there at about 6:30. We stayed in an old Georgian House that had been split into three different apartments. Ours being at the very top with the best view of the beach on our doorstep! That night we walked around the sea front and went into a quiet pub for some dinner to then return home for a good nights rest!

On the Saturday we visited a theme park in Margate called "Dreamland". It was the first ever theme park in the UK and was built during the 1950's (I think!). The place was AMAZING! I have never visited a place so interesting. Although I am not a big fan of roller coasters or rides or anything like that the place was full of things to do, watch and see. There was an amazing high dive show, people dressed like they were in the 50's, and just an all round good, happy and exciting atmosphere! The place was simply so much fun with things to from ages small - BIG. If you're ever in the area of Margate I recommend the trip because it was such a fun day out!

The cutest and most colourful coffee cups ever! 

Deckchairs!

On the Sunday, Unfortunately it was time to return home however we took a visit to an art gallery in the morning which contained some rather strange pieces! There was an exhibition of professional artists work and then an exhibition for amateurs. The second exhibition was my favourite, The pieces of art done by people my age was really rather inspiring! We walked around the "lanes" of shops that were hidden away, ate lunch in the CUTEST cafe ever and then set off on the journey home!

I hope you enjoyed this mini (but quite big) recount of my weekend away but it was absolutely lovely for me to remember all the things I got up to with my wonderful family!

Until Next Time x  

Back to School 2015!

So majority of people in the UK are now back at school so I thought I would tell you a few things that I have done to make going back to school a little bit easier!

Firstly, BUY NEW STATIONERY! Doing this makes me slightly excited to go back to school. I seem to absolutely love buying new stationery, I don't know why but there's just something exciting about it. So if you haven't already, I recommend you go out and refill your pencil cases for the new start! Pens, Pencils, Folders anything to make your school bag slightly more snazzy than your friends!

Secondly, DON'T STRESS. I know so many people who stress over going back to school, Please Don't. My friend hates going back to school because of the people there or the work she has to do, at the end of the day school is not the be all and all. Stressing over school will not improve your grades or change the people you have to share the school experience with so try and have a more positive outlook on school. Go in, Do your best, Work hard and try and enjoy after all you have to stay in some form of education until you're 18!

Thirdly, HAVE SOME ME TIME! Don't spend all your waking hours doing school work. Once you come home from school it's your own time. Yes, do your homework but don't let homework rule your life. Each piece of homework should only take half an hour or so. Give yourself time to do things you enjoy. Pamper yourself, go out with the friends, indulge yourself!

So I hope that those three things will help going back to school slightly easier and if you have any questions or things that you do to make it easier comment them below because I'd love to know!
Until Next Time, M xx

August Shopping Haul!

So yesterday I was in Town with one of my friends and I may have splashed some cash, so I thought I would show you here just what I bought! Some of the products may be hard to show as a lot of shopping was done in places like Primark and Wilkinsons! Enjoy!

Paperchase:

The main thing I bought in paperchase was a July 2015 - July 2016 diary because I decided I wanted to become more organised with my life! When I go back to school in a few days I will be starting my GCSEs so I want to try and plan things out ahead of me to allow myself time for working and fun stuff. The diary shown here which I bought was priced at £7.50 which may sound expensive but is insanely good quality. 

Buy Here

H&M:
In this store I purchased a Jersey Top. The fabric is soooooo comfy to wear, it can either be a casual top or can be glammed up. The black stripes which you can see on the image are slightly see through, translucent sort of! The top was priced at £9.99 and I absolutely 100% recommend it because of how lovely its made.
Buy Here 

Wilkinsons:
So in this store I splurged the cash slightly :). If you've never been in a wilkinsons before I recommend you make a trip there. Everything in this store is such good quality and for the smallest price! In this store I bought 9 items so here goes: (instead of putting a picture to each item, I have attached links to all products)
School Pencil Case:
Helix Ruler Oxford Foldable: £1.25
Wilko Retractable ball pens (pack of 5): £0.75
Staedtler HB Pencils (pack of 5): £1.60
Wilko Pencil Sharpener and Eraser: £0.35
Inkjoys Pens (pack of 8): £3.00

Wilko Dry Shampoo Brunette: £0.95
Wilko Varsity Message Board: £2.00

WHSmiths:
Orange & Pink spotty Pencil case: £4.49
Its a lovely spacious pencil case. It holds all my items perfectly and is very sturdy. Highly recommend. It has a gorgeous pattern on the outside as well, very appealing to the eye.
Buy Here

Primark:
I also went into Primark, and as you may know Primark don't have a website showing their products (that makes me very sad) so I will try and find images of the two products purchased in here.
Firstly I purchased a lovely lovely handbag. It is a range of neutral colours on the outside and has a beige lining inside. The space inside is very roomy and perfect size for what I take out with me. There is one zip pocket, a phone slot and a slightly bigger slot to place items in aswell as the main body of the bag. There is also a very small zip section on the front of the bag. I'm absolutely in love with it already. It has a short handle option and a long handle option! Priced at £10.00, I LOVE! (excuse the bad picture taken by me)

Secondly I bought a grey dress. When looking at the dress it has a very autumn look baout it and feels lovely when on. The neck is similar to a turtle neck but not as tight or high up round the chin. I don't have a picture for this one unfortunately but the dress was also priced at £10.00 and I am, too, in love with that.

So, yes I did spend probably too much whilst out yesterday! I also bought my first bag of the new Haribo range 'Tangfastics - Frenzy Edition' and my only opinion on them is that the original flavours are much much nicer! I hope you enjoyed this type of post and let me know below if you did enjoy it!

Answering Your Questions!

So this week I thought I would do a Question and answer style post. So I asked my instagram followers for some questions and here they are!

What country are you from?
I am from the UK, where it rains mostly everyday - like it is right now!

If you were stuck on a desert island and you could take one person who would it be and why?
Ooooh, I would probably take James McVey because then he would have no choice but to talk to me and if we died there I would be a very happy girl!

Would you rather be able to speak every language in the world or speak to dogs?
I would have to say every language in the world, because I am not a huge fan of dogs (sorry!) and I don't have a dog. So every language in the world would help me a lot more than dog!

How old are you?
I am 14 years young.

What's your favourite group and singer?
My favourite group of pretty looking singing people would have to be The Vamps because just their perfect in every single way! And my favourite singer is probably Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran because their both absolutely amazing at what they do!

Can you speak French?
Yes! I am actually taking French GCSE so I can speak some French yes!

How did you find out about The Vamps?
Well 2 years ago I was sat on my sofa catching up on Friday Download and The Vamps came on and I was like "well they're pretty cool" and it escalated from there!

Would you rather be able to speak to animals or read peoples minds?
Read peoples minds! Because then you could tell if people were lying to you and I could eliminate all bad people from my life!

Do you want/have any pets?
Unfortunately I don't have any pets :( But I would really like a cat or a bearded dragon!

What/who are your favourite vamps fan accounts(instagram)?
This is such a hard question to answer because I love loads of accounts! I love my friend @boilinghotbrad and the three girlie's who asked most of these questions: @chamcvey, @tiderandthevamps, @blueberrymcvey. But I love every single one of my followers!

What is your battery percent right now?
On my phone it is at 36%

Thank you for the wonderful questions you've all sent to me!
Until Next Time, M xxx

Apologies

So over the summer my posts have been, well there haven't been any over the summer. This is mainly because of the hectic summer I have had! And now it has just clicked that I'm back to school in two weeks, yay. 

The only current way of updating my blog is through my iPod as my laptop will not work so that also slows down the process. 

This post is a little apology for the lack of posts but they will soon be up and running again. 

Until next time, M x
