Breaking Bad! ♥

Hey guys!
Recently I have finished the 5 action filled seasons of Breaking Bad!
I have no idea why I started watching but everyone has been talking about how good it was so I decided to give it a watch!

If you're not familiar with the storyline of the programme it is an American crime drama which follows the main character of Walter White (who is played by Bryan Cranston) who is a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with lung cancer. Due to struggling with money he turns to a life of crime, producing and selling. Throughout the seasons we meet a bunch of different character who play apart of the story in many different ways. One character who I may or may not have fallen in love with is Jesse Pinkman who is played by the beautiful Aaron Paul. I have no real reason as to why I have fallen in love with him but before you judge either watch the series or look up a picture of him haha!

I was actually told the ending of the seasons by some stupid idiot on twitter after posting on a tweet saying I didn't want to watch the last season because I was enjoying it so much haha!
Even thought I was told the ending I didn't mind!
The ending was amazing and it couldn't have ended any better... well it could but if i told you the ending i would have enjoyed to see you guys would know the ending haha!

Less than a month I had watched all 5 seasons. Would I call the season addictive? Yes! They always end so you have unanswered
 questions and wonder of what happens next.

I have honestly enjoyed all 5 seasons of this series and may have to buy it on DVD to re-watch it all over again and again forever haha!
I would give this series 5*!!
GO WATCH IT!
All of the seasons are on Netflix right now!!!

My Singing YouTube Channel ♥

Hey guys! 

Many of you may or may not know that I have a YouTube channel! If you are new to this blog then welcome!
I love to sing and it has been a passion of mine for years now. When I sing I feel like the whole world just stops and everything is right again, my YouTube channel consists of covers that I have recorded myself in my bedroom alone. That's came out more creepier than it should haha!
I try to post as much as possible on there like I do with this blog and try to make sure that the songs are up to date and still in the charts. I don't have many up at the moment, I did have more but I deleted them because my voices doesn't sound the same any more.

If you are interested please go and check my channel out, it would mean the world to me!

Hey guys!
Yesterday (5th June 2014} I took my driving test and I PASSED! (as you can tell by the title haha!)
I took the test at 11:01am and missed school... its was worth it haha!

I did a lot of driving and got back a bit later than everyone else and then had to bay park which not to toot my own horn at but I am good at haha!
When I had switched the engine off I took a little glance at the sheet and realised that there was not as much markings as I expected.
He turned to me and told me i had passed and only had 2 faults!
I was over the moon and couldn't stop smiling!
When I got in the car to come home my driving instructor turned the radio on and Happy - Pharrell Williams was playing haha!
But yes! Another chapter and goal of my life complete, time to hit the roads!

MCBUSTED! ♥

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing well! 

One month ago yesterday (3rd May 2014) I went to see McBusted at the LG Arena, Birmingham with one of my best friends Jess and one of her friends from college. I had already seen Mcfly back at Fusion Festival back in Sept 2013 which may i add they were amazing but I wasn't planning on going to this concert as I have never really been a big fan of both Mcfly or Busted... Wait to tell a lie I was a Busted fan back in the day and was devastated when they announced their split but my fangirl heart for Mcfly was never really there if i'm honest. When I first heard about this new super group that were forming I honestly didn't wasn't falling off my chair with excitement but when asked by Jess if I wanted to go I thought to myself "Why the hell not? I love concerts and it's another artist I can say I have seen!"

The beginning of the concert was hilarious they had a little video of James and Matt from Busted talking about the break-up of the band and how devastated they were and that it was a split second decision etc and after the interview section had finished they said their goodbyes and got in two cars and drove away... After a split second they were both back on the screen making back to the future references saying how they had to go back into the future to be with Mcfly and perform all together! They got into a delorean and zoomed down the street on the video and ended up on the stage in the same car floating down from above which was insane! The whole room started screaming and stamping their feet with excitement!
They sang a few songs and 1/2 way through they disappeared and appeared at the back of the area on a UFO/spaceship type stage! All lit up which changing colour for the next song including light up guitars and everything! AMAZING! After that they made their way back onto the main stage via the crowd which was brave in my opinion!

While they were making their way back to the stage there was another funny video which was one of many of the night! Honestly the video had people around me in stitches! They came back onto the stage one by one with the thunderbirds theme song playing over head, truly amazing! As well as the funny video between each change over the video being played behind then through the songs were amazing! Some had lyrics flashing on the screen but my favourite and i'm guessing many people's favourite was the emoji one, I couldn't stop laughing when i saw them haha!

The whole night i danced and sung as if I was a child again and I loved every second of it!

I'll never forget Dougie making the whole area chant do a back and forth of "pe" "nis" and wearing a horse head of a section of the show as well as a whole chocolate cake being thrown over Matt while wearing a wedding dress singing Crash The Wedding, HUGE balls being brought out by what look like security guards for the fans to bounce around and who can forget the three GIANT inflatable boobs at the end when they sang Year 3000 before they left the stage...

The concert was amazing, I am so glad I went along and saw them, they were amazing and i would honestly see them again to relive my childhood all over again haha!

New Zealand Adventures: Week 1 ♥

Hey guys,
It was been nearly 2 months since i have been to New Zealand and i still haven't posted this post... I'm sorry I have been waiting for some new batteries for my camera to arrive but here it is... finally... the first week of my adventures in New Zealand!
SO HERE WE GO!
 The first couple of days were just traveling... Plane after plane after plane... A couple of posts back you guys can see that I left the for the airport in Manchester on 6th April and took the Boeing 777 to Dubai! Our flight was delayed so I couldn't go and look around duty free which sucked but the airbus 800 was waiting for me to catch it to Australia! This was the first time I had ever been on a double decker plane and honestly I was shitting myself thinking about the facts that it was double the weight and double the people on the plane would it lift off the ground?! Of course it did else I wouldn't be able to tell you all about my time there haha! The landing in Australia was horrendous!!! The pilot thought it would be a good idea to hit the runway at more than 200mph and swerve the plane side to side... Not fun at all! I think everyone came off that flight with brown stains in their pants!
 During all of these flights they were serving food which honestly was rank, I'm very funny with my food and they pretty much served everything with cheese which for me is a no go or it just smelt rank! The one good think about the hospitality was that all the drinks were free apart from champagne but what would you expect the champagne they had on flight looked expensive! I did end up near someone who thought it would be cool to get pissed out of their head and keep shouting at people... He had to be about 40 which makes it all worse.
The ICE system on the flights were amazing! I managed to watch films in which I had wanted to see in the cinema but never got around too as well as watch a few of my favorites. As well as the movies they had albums, TV programmes and games which you could enjoy! I think I may have listened to Midnight Memories and Beyonce more than 4 times on the flights but they are good albums and played pac-man for hours and got all up to date with 2 Broke Girls! Yeah the flights weren't that fantastic but it's just one step into getting where you wanna be right?
FINALLY we got to New Zealand after a hundred and one security checks... The first thing on my mind was food... I hadn't eaten in nearly 3 days and needed some food... McDonald's was called my name! A big mac, fries and a drink for $9 which is about £4.50 in the UK... YES PLEASE! We then made our way to the little hotel we were stopping at the night (by the way when I say our or we I mean me, my nan and her son) the hotel is not really anything to talk about apart from that fact the lovely lady at the check in desk gave me their wifi password. I stayed awake until 7/8pm which was good going baring in mind I was ready to drop at 4  and my nan went to sleep at about 4pm and her son 5pm (I'm never gonna let them live that one down after all their talk about staying awake) haha!

The next day we had to pick up the campervan! We got an upgrade on our van which was a lovely surprise and it looked amazing! I'll insert a picture of the outside but the inside got pretty much trashed and looked untidy for most of the time we were in it haha!

While driving I went to save some glasses from smashing and fell down the steep step by the door and bruised all my arm... DON'T WALK IN A MOVING VECHILE!!!!!!

 We then headed for some food again... McDonald's and then to see my nans other son who lived out in New Zealand who sparked the whole coming to New Zealand in the first place as my nan wanted to see her grandchildren who she had only seen over skype, when she finally got to meet them face to face it was adorable, you could see how happy she was and it was so good to see her that happy, you kind of take things like that for granted of seeing your family everyday. We spent one night on the driveway of the house before heading off to Rotorua. We found a really lovely campsite called 'Waiteti Trout Stream Holiday Park & Backpackers'. The people there were really nice and we ended up setting up camp next to the lovely stream which was obviously filled with Trout and had cute ducks swimming up and down. The ducks were greedy gits and we ended up feeding them around half a pack of bread! 

During our drive to the campsite I saw a Wendy's and me being the little American fangirl that I am said I want to go there! The next morning we went for breakfast and I ended up having a bacon and egg muffin and they gave you some fries and a choice of drink with your meal, I had a coke just because I wasn't in the mood for a hot drink. I prefer McDonald's breakfasts not going to lie but at least I can say I have been right? That's the way I look at it anyways. 

After going to breakfast the weather wasn't picking up so we went to the Rotorua museum which was lets say... on the dull side... If you enjoy looking at an old bath houses then this was the museum for you! The other side of the museum was a bit better, there were wood carvings, tools and painting from the past and loads of other cool stuff! Even thought the inside of the museum was boring the outside of it was stunning! There is a long drive you have to drive up to get the house and threw all the trees and rain it looking stunning!

 That night we stayed in the same place as before and I cooked tea for all of us, we had something really simple but filling due to the little space that I had around me ha! We ended up with chicken and pasta in tomato and basil sauce, I honestly thought it was really nice, I have no idea on what the other two thought of it, I didn't ask haha! The next day we went to Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park in Rotorua. This place is soooo cute! Everywhere you turned it was like being in a rain forest surrounded by trees and what i think made the experience a lot better was the fact that it was drizzling with rain. It made it feel like a real rain forest it was perfect! 

There were many different types of birds and lizards there which was different from the boring zoos we get back in the UK which are all full of monkeys haha!

This little cute guy below is a Tuatara (i believe correct me if i am wrong) it is a very old lizard which originates from New Zealand which is cool! I had a mini photo shoot with this little fella and i believe this picture is capturing his best side haha!

I think we got about 1/2 or a bit more around the park and the rain just fell from the heavens! We ending spending a lot of time looking at trout in a tank because the rain was falling that hard we had to take cover! My nan ended up cleaning some of the windows on the trout tanks as well haha! We then ended up running into a cafe because we were all soaked and my purple hair dye was running onto my white jumper!!! We had a nice cup of coffee thinking that it would knock off soon but it didn't! We ended up leaving the park before we has seen everything but as we left the park there was a beautiful waterfall and even thought it was pouring down i had to take a picture!!

Homemade Starbucks Frappaccino Style Iced Coffee! ♥

Hey guys!
So today isn't very sunny outside and with it being Tuesday me and my mom usually head off to starbucks before she drops me off at school. However with it being the half term we have no real reason to go and we know it will be packed so I took it upon myself to use the amazing google machine to see if i could find a frappaccino style recipe!
There are so many different ones on the internet and I didn't really like the look of some of them so I thought I would make up my own!

What you are going to need:
(This will made around 4 glasses)
Jug
Blender
Teaspoon
Tablespoon
Glasses

Grounded coffee of your choice (I used Nescafe Fine Blend Coffee)
Cold water
Sweetened condensed milk
Crushed ice for in the liquid (around 8)
Crushed ice for decoration of the glass (around 6)

1. First thing you need to get it get a big jug and place 4 tea spoons of your choice of grounded coffee (You can also use espresso shots if you have a coffee machine)

2. You then need to add around 1 1/2 cups of cold water into the jug

3. Grab your sweeten condensed milk and add around 5 table spoons into the mix (however much you put in will depend on how sweet you enjoy your coffee, I added the full 5 table spoons of milk and it was a tad over sweet)

4. Add the finally crushed into the jug and blend until smooth. The timing of this depending on how fine your ice is and how powerful your blender is.5. Once you stop blending you should have a fine frothy topping
Add the rest of your crushed ice into your glasses and pour the mixture into your glasses and enjoy!

Its all about trial and error so if this recipe isn't to your taste change some of the measurements around! You can also add some different syrups as well if you want it to have a different taste. This can also be done by changing the plain grounded coffee to a flavoured coffee such as a Vanilla bean or mint all depending on your unique style! 

I hope you guys enjoy this little post and enjoy making one of your own style iced coffee Frappaccino!

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!
