2019.

Hey guys!
How are you guys?!
I can't believe its 2019 and I haven't posted on this blog since the end of 2017!
I have missed posting but over the past year I haven't seemed to have the time.
I want to start blogging again as a way of giving me something to do while I am on bed rest haha!
Okay so a little back story about what has been going on in my life for the past month or so... 
Back in April I was planning on going on a little Granddaughter and Nan adventure to Salzburg and Vienna. Every thing was planned and I was really excited and we headed off to the airport!
We got to Manchester airport, got the number for our gate and heading to go and get on the plane as you do in an airport.
However I didn't make it to the plane.
To get to the gate we had to walk down some stairs... I can't remember what really happened after this point apart from I ended up falling down many steps and ended up breaking my leg.
I knew I had broken a bone as soon as I realised what happened as my whole leg was like jelly. I got taken to hospital to find out that it hadn't just broken one bone but both of the bones in my lower leg. I stayed in hospital in Manchester for 11 days and had to have an operation. 
I am back home now and currently have a metal rod and 4 pin screws holding the larger bone in my leg together while my little bone is hopefully healing by itself! Fingers crossed everything is going okay and the hospital next month tells me I can move onto crutches as I am currently sporting a zimmer frame as i'm only touch toe weight-baring and have to use a wheelchair.
However this hasn't stopped me living my life. It's put work on a hold for a bit because I'm not allowed to stand for a long period of time and creating special occasion cakes means I am on my feet ALOT. 
To be honest breaking my leg couldn't have come at a worse time not that there is ever a good time to break a bone but May has been one of the busiest concert filled months of my life so far.
At the beginning of May I had The Vamps four corner tour in Birmingham followed by Free Radio Hits Live the very next day. Take That and Rick Astley a week or so later, last night saw The Vamps four corners tour in Leicester and Saturday is the last one until October so far for Rita Ora!
Thankfully the venues have been able to accommodate for my accident some shows have been better for disabled seats than others (I might actually do a post on my experience with the whole disabled accident thing as there is a few things that I think people should know) but the main thing is I have been able to go to them. Live music is everything to me and as you guys already know if you have been reading this blog since the beginning I LOVE CONCERTS!
 I'm unsure on how long my recovery will be but i'm going to do everything in my power to get myself back to the old me and get myself better. I honestly have the best support network around me at the moment and I can't thank my family and friends enough for what they are doing for me. 
So... expect some more posts from me i'm not sticking to a schedule this time I'm simply going to post when and what I feel like so you could have 3 posts in one day or none for a week haha!
I hope you're all okay!

The Money Jar. ♥

Hey guys!

I hope you're all okay!

I ended last year with hardly any money to call my own as most of my money goes into my business. 

I vowed this year that I would try and save some money so I knew come the end of the year I could spend a little on myself in which ever way I choose.

Over the past couple of year I have seen the '356 day' money jar challenge going around which is where you put 1p in a jar on day 1 and each day you add 1p extra in each time. So on day 3 you will but 3p into the jar and on day 112 you will put £1.12 in ect. Over the whole year you end up with £667.95 at the end of the year which is and amazing idea.

However I am one of those people who will forget about the whole challenge by day 20 and won't remember again until day 50. 

So this year I have just decided to put any amount in a jar at the end of the week. Everytime I get given a £2 coin it automatically goes in the money jar at the end of the week along with any small change like 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p. My first week I put £6 in and at the end of this week I have put £12 in. All together so far I have about £26.30 and we are only 3 weeks into January. Not every month is going to be as high in value as others but thats okay because it is all adding up to the bigger picture. I can't wait to look back at the end of the year and see how much I have put into the jar!

What do you guys think of the '365 day' challenge? Are any of you doing it this year?\

Sweet Indulgence Cakes ♥

Hey guys!
I have been putting this post off so much but I am finally getting round to posting it!
As you guys may have already read in previous posts I have started up my own business. Its a Cake designing & Making business!
My friend Jessica has been making cakes for her family for a while now and I have been able to help her out with a few from time to time when I didn't have any college work going on and I really enjoyed it! Not only the opportunity to work with my best friend but to be able to get my creativity flowing and coming up with ideas on how to create a cake and develop it into a physical thing. 

It got me thinking about what I was going to be doing once I had left college... I try to get a job at a beauty counter and try and make my way up the board or set up a freelance business but none of those seemed to make me feel excited or give me any sort of drive. 

So I was brainstorming and after visiting the job centre with Jess we were told about the Princes Trust that help you out with a start up loan for you to start your own business. We had spoke in the past about doing cakes full time but never thought that it would happen. I took the course and did all the paperwork and my loan got accepted! I then put in for a shop a few miles away from home to set up a base for us to do our cakes from and from their we have just been growing! We opened 12th December 2015. I wanted to open on this day as it was my grandads birthday who has sadly passed and wanted their to be a connection to the date.

I hope the future is full of lovely customers and beautiful cakes but who knows. All we can do is dream and keep out fingers and toes crossed!

One Direction - Birmingham - 10th October 2015 ♥

Hey guys!
So on Saturday I went to see One Direction for the first time in my life.
I have no idea why I have waiting so long and I have been missing out on so much!
If you have never been you need to try and go because it was like no other concert I have ever been too!

Harry Motherf***in' Styles is like an angel. He is literally perfection. I couldn't get over how beautiful he was in real life. I mean he is beautiful in pictures you see on the internet every day but this was something else out of this world different. Don't even get me started on his hair because feels.
Niall was a little cutie and I just wanted to run on the stage and give him a hug. Also his hair was looking fabulous!
Louis. I'm going to be honest. I've never seen the fascination. BUT seeing his live has totally changed that I now understand what people see in him!
It was so good to see Liam back on near homeground haha! He was so happy to be in Birmingham and his family even came out to see him perform which was cute as hell!
I literally could go over everything a thousand time in the blog post and tell you every single bit of information and  how many is was a million times but you honestly won't fully understand unless you have been to one of their concerts and experienced it yourself!
I just hope that after their much needed break they come back and do another tour because I will be on of the first in cue to grab my tickets!
I hope you guys enjoy some of the pictures.
Most of them were blurry because I was singing, dancing, shaking and screaming most of the night haha! I hope you are all okay!I honestly nearly finished this post off without mentioning the support - Jamie Lawson - He is signed to Ed Sheeran's record label. I wouldn't see him again live in all honesty even if someone payed for my ticket. Sorry if you like him. He's just too much like Ed and annoys me. Anyways its all about 1D not the support haha!

Benefit - Roller Curl Mascara - Review ♥

Hey guys!
Today post is going to be on the Benefit - Roller lash mascara.
I have this post sitting in my draft folder for so long and had completely forgot to post it!
I got this sample in the March issue of ELLE.I had high expectations for this mascara as Benefit are well know for their 'They're Real Mascara' which I am a fan of and I knew this one had to live up to it if not be better for it to be worth the buy.Retail price - £19.50

I was pleasantly surprised that i liked it!

I love my lashes to have loads of volume and just a bit more length and this mascara is defiantly just a lengthening mascara. I feel like I have to add another mascara on top of it to add the volume desired on the days I am wanting big noticeable lashes.

This is an amazing every day mascara especially if you don't like to wear a lot of makeup. It is defiantly build-able but I found once you got to the 3rd/4th coat it started to clump and look like spider legs.

The outer packaging is so sleek and pretty.

On the benefit website it states that the mascara has an 'instant curve-setting formula that's holds for 12 hours'. However I do feel that the formulation of this mascara does help curl your lashes but for me it doesn't hold for the 12 hours it states. After about 3-4 hours of wear I could see my lashes start to droop and loose its curl.

As you can see from the pictures above of my lashes on the left side is my natural lash and on the right is the roller lash masacra. I applied 2 coats for this picture so you could see what it would look like layered.

Each of my lashes fanned out lovely.

I reach for this mascara when I am having one of my 'Natural' makeup days.

I do like it and would possibly repurchase it if it was on offer or came apart of a set that benefit do for christmas but i wouldn't go out tomorrow and repurchase it for the full price.

What do you guys think about this mascara?
