100th Blog Post!!! ♥♥

Hey guys!
I actually can't believe that this is my 100th blog post. It only seems like I started this blog a month ago!
Thank you all for reading this blog. I know sometimes I miss days and sometimes the content isn't always very good but I am working on it!
I have never ever been very good at putting things down on paper and explain myself. I am more of a word of mouth person but it's good to challenge yourself with new and exciting things every once and again!
I have some exciting posts coming up for you and I hope you all enjoy reading them when they are posted.
I have started my Instagram back up and I have also started using my Twitter account more.
My Twitter: SophieBMusic95You can keep up with me on there as well as when I update this blog with a post. My Instagram has now become a sort of portfolio of my work at college and at home. Thank you to all the college girls for letting me attack them with paint, wax, latex, foundation, lipstick etc and of course the most important one... GLITTER haha!
So...
 Here's to another 100 posts on this blog.
Again thank you for reading this blog. It really means a lot to me!

Piran Meadows Resort & Spa, Cornwall, UK ♥

Hey guys!
Two weeks ago  I went to cornwall again haha! 
I doesn't feel like 10 minutes since I was there last time and posting the My week in pictures haha! 
This time we stopped at a caravan park which had only been open for about 2 weeks by the time we stopped there!

The park as a whole is stunning. There is a lot of greenery and well planned out with the positioning of the the caravans and parking areas giving you 'lots of room for different activities' name that movies? Haha! 
The caravan we stopped in was called St Austell, as you can see from the picture below! 

The caravan inside was stunning! As you can see from the pictures the set up is simple but with a modern twist. The whole decor throughout the caravan was beach-type themed with the stripes that you can see from the first couple of pictures of the front room.









The kitchen area was nice, the size of it is a standard size of kitchen for many caravans giving you the extra room in the living area. One thing that puts this site above many others is the little box that sits on the side in the kitchen. As you can see from the picture below there are many things in there from peppermint tea, oat cookies, breakfast tea, luxury hot chocolate, milk, green tea and ground coffee beans for the cafetiere that is also provided in the cupboard above. As well by the sink there was a small roll of kitchen cloth, a brush, washing up liquid and a sponge pad I also believe there was a tea towel provided. I honestly didn't pay attention to the washing up supplies, I just wanted to put the kettle on and have a peppermint tea haha! 





















The bathroom room is like a standard caravan bathroom. This one was very clean and also by the mirror which you can see at the top right hand corner of the picture there is a small bag making an appearance. This was a little bag with shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, shower cap and hand soap for by the sink. I thought this was a really cute idea. All of the liquids had green tea in them which smelt lovely to begin with and had left my hair and skin smooth!


This caravan has two bedrooms one double room and one with two singles. Both of these bedrooms were spotless and beautifully presented! The beach theme continued from the lounge to the bedroom which I think is really cute!
The beds in this caravan were so comfortable! I fell asleep on the double bed a few times! There was also an en suite with the double bedroom with a toilet and sink and some storage for cosmetics but i forgot to take a picture of it! 





The site as I said at the beginning was lovely and green! The club that they have there is also stunning! Inside the club you could play pool, bowling and a golf simulator as well as a kids area which included a photo booth, sweet machines and a huge screen to watch films on. There was also a swimming pool, sauna and gym from what you could see.
The food was lovely. We went into the club for an evening meal one of the nights and also for lunch after my brother went swimming.



















They also offer other activities that are led by professional which you do have to pay for. My brother tried out the archery and loved it! I believe the price of this activity was £12. Myself and my mom went down to the shack/shed that they were holding the activity to watch and it looked like so much fun i wish i has put my name down. I think this is a great idea allowing the adults to then go for a swim, use the gym or pop into the sauna were under 16's are not allowed.

This site also offers free wifi in your caravans with the two codes they give you for 2 devices that you may have brought with you from home. I used my iPad and my brother used the Kindle we took with us. The strength of the wifi was good from the van but the only problem was that there was nothing really available to connect to or view. My brother enjoys YouTube videos when he is at home watching gamers such as PewdiePie etc but due to their domain we couldn't get access. This was also the case for silly things like Sky News, BBC News, Daily Mail and sometime Google homepage. 

The only other little hiccup we had at the park is to do with the passes which give you access to everything, this includes getting into the park itself via electronic barriers! They weren't given to us or explained to us when we picked our keys up and ended up spending about 30 minutes or more stuck at the barrier calling for help via the post that is situated before the barrier but no one was answering because reception was shut and security was not on duty yet. I feel like it may have been a little mistake that the passes weren't given out but there were several people around the lady that was serving us to remind her to give us them and no one spoke up.

However the site is lovely and everyone was friendly. I recommend going to this site or taking a look at their website www.piranmeadows.co.uk
I hope you guys enjoyed this little review. I thought it was something different from a beauty review or just posting pictures about my time there and it also allowing people who may want to visit the holiday park a look around and what they can expect along side the website above.

Random Garden Centre Adventure with Jess! ♥

Hey guys!
Hope you are all going well!
I know I posted yesterday but i'm bored and feel the need to sit down and type a post!

In yesterdays post I told you guys that I had just had my last exam of sixth form! I wanted to celebrate finishing and also go on a little mini adventure in my car! I messaged my best pal Jess and asked if she wanted to go out for a ride to our local garden centre. Yes two fully grown 18 year old girls where going to a garden centre no need to judge it's amazing there! 

I picked jess up and hit the open road! On the way there we were listening to the vamps and 5 Seconds Of Summer and other amazing artists! 
We got to the garden centre and the first place we headed was to see the fish! We ended up meeting nemo and his friends as well as a couple of piranhas, puffer fish and this little grumpy guys below! I honestly felt like a child again it was amazing!

After going to look around the fishes we headed to see the rabbits, mice, rats, Guinea pigs and birds. We stayed away from the reptile area because well... I hate snakes and spider!
I wanted to go to this garden centre because they had a lovely little candle shop which had Yankee Candles and bath bombs and soap and all those wonderful things! We turned the corner to find that it was closed. I couldn't believe it! That was a bit disappointment but we headed to the end of the section of shops to get some sweets! 
On the way to the sweet shops we found a gorilla and some pandas!



The sweet shop there is really cute, I didn't get to take a picture but it was like a little old fashioned sweet shop with all the old sweets and I ended up buying some Jelly Dolphins, Strawberry sweets, Twin Cherries and some chocolate raisins for me and my family to share!

After getting some sweets we went on a search for something that jess's nan asked us to get for her. After been told to go to a different place and see someone for the 4th time we found what we were looking for and ended up making a life decision while at the till. Me and jess brought 2 fish for her nan's pond. Best 50p I have ever spent!


Once we had picked up the fish we had to pick up names for them! Jess came up with Harry and Brad! Perfect names! (If you don't get the reference its meant to be Fishy Harry Styles and Fishy Brad Simpson from the vamps) They are so small compared to the fish in her nan's pond! They are so cute!

I know this is a bit of a random post but I thought it would be cute to mark the day of buying brad and harry and the end of my exams!
I hope you are all doing well!

Exams. Exams. Exams.

Hey guys!
Exams have been going on for a couple of weeks now and I'm lucky enough to not have mine until the middle of June. I've seen loads of people stressing about exams on social media platforms and decided to make a post about it. 
The first thing you need to do is try not to stress yourself out too much.
I think everyone has or will be having a moment in time where they feel like they are going to fail at something and nothing is working out. If this happens to you, you need to take a step back from all the revision and worrying and breathe.  
Revision is a good thing and keeps the brain active and full of knowledge. Many people believe that the more you study and read the better you will do in the exam. I am completely different. If I have an exam coming up I will let it drift in the air for a couple of days/weeks and at the final deadline (a day or two before) I will study my butt off. I don't recommend this but I just find that that its the way my brain works. 
When you do study make sure you take regular breaks. No one wants to be sitting looking at a book or paperwork for hours and hours on end. Every 15 to 30 minutes get up and have a walk around. Get a drink and go threw in your mind what you have just been reading about. The one thing you don't want to do is go on any social media or keep checking your phone. I know in the day and age that we are in many people can't spend a couple of hours without messaging people or updating the world on what they are doing. I am the sort of person that when something gets boring I automatically switch off and try to find something else to do. Even if that does mean me tidying me room... 
If you are really struggling with the whole worry of the exam talk to a teacher. They are there to help you with whatever your problem is, they will help guide you on things you may not understand and allow you to have extra information to help with the study. If you don't ask for extra help or paperwork you aren't going to get it. Take your future and school work into your own hands and do right by you.
Once you have done some hard revision take some you time. Relax by watching your favorite TV show. Talk to friends, take a nice relaxing shower or bath depending on which one your prefer with a nice hot drink and chill. Overworking yourself Is the worst thing to do. Over time you will just feel emotional and physically drained, 
The last and most helpful point is something that all teenagers don't really do and that's get enough sleep. For your brain to be able to grow and digest information that you have been learning throughout the day you need a decent amount of sleep. When you get stressed out your brain goes into overload made and at night you can be lying there wide awake thinking of the dreaded exam. 9+ hours of sleep a night is what you are aiming for. 1 or 2 hours before going to sleep don't go on your phone/computer or tablet. Phones are one of the main reasons why teenagers don't get enough sleep. I fall into this trap a lot and can be up until about 2/3 scrolling threw twitter and instagram. 
This time of year is stressful there is no denying that but take it easy and don't over worry yourself. I'm sure you will do amazing In your exams and will get the grades you want. As long as you try your best and know you gave it your all that's all you can do. GOOD LUCK!

These 4 talented Australian boys are taking the world by storm at the moment and i'm so proud of them! Their talent is something to shout from the rooftops but since i can't get up onto my roof and most of the people living around me are of the older generation they may not understand what and/or who I am talking about!
