Getting There

So guess what! I only have a few weeks left! yippee!
So much has changed in the last few months I don't even know where to start!
Well. Just after Christmas I had a breakdown like a complete 'Fuck the World' breakdown. I ran away from school. I just needed to get away from school, the books and the no sleep. I am a sleeper I love to nap and I love to go to bed early and obviously in boarding school (or school in general) I wasn't getting any naps and wasn't in bed until at least 11 every night (yes i am one of those lights out at 10 on a school night girl) So i left. Simple as. I needed to leave for ME not for anyone else. Pure selfish reasons. But we all have to do that sometimes right?
WRONGapparently my 'Best Friends' left me in my time of need, they abandoned me and haven't looked back well only to shove me back to the floor as I pick myself up. They are being horrible to me and make school a misery just by their fierce stares. I was on the other side before remember and I always said "I would HATE to be on their bad side" well now I am.
But I have to just say feck it.
I am now living in an apartment seriously close to school and my Mum comes up and down to stay with me(although i like being on my own!) and I'm trying to just plough through these last few weeks!
I think when this is all over I may do a few beauty posts. sound good?
I have a beauty channel on youtube if your interested!

Sixth Year Shixt Year


So long time no post.
I'm back at school for my final year in school, 6th year which in the UK is year 12 and in the US 12th grade i believe? or Senior Year.
If i had thought that I had experienced stress before i was wrong. It's only November but yet I'm home from school with exhaustion. If this year didn't determine how the rest of my life will pan out i would
be home for the year, I hate school, always have, always will... If i had a say in how education should be done round here i wouldn't have it that there's one big exam at the end of the year, i mean HELLLO?? who needs all that added stress?? although i suppose if it was continuous assesment then i would probably
fail the year as I'm home right now NOT learning... hmmm...

I guess what I'm getting at here is i can't wait for this God forsaken year to be finished so i can be free! But i don't know if I can last that long. In that I mean if I can hang on rather then dropping out.

I will keep my blog updated as much as possible but if I DO drop out i'll have the free time to blog about it...

Much love! oh and please follow me!

Portugal & Hospitals!





So i'm just back from my holidays!
i just spent 1 week of hot sunshine in Portug
al with 3 friends, Georgie, her sister Lauren and her boyfriend Alex.
We had a 2 bedroom apartment, a kitchen, a bathroom with a bath tub/shower, 2 counch
es, a balcony with a table and chairs and table and chairs inside too! we were VERRRY happy to say the least!
The heat was amazing i was never cold, well when i got really burned on my back and belly and a breeze came along in the evening i got the shivers!

but here is the twist in my tail!
so we were all sitting on the balcony our hair all washed,
we'd bought the food for the dinner, i offered to start cooking but we all decided we'd wait a bit, then alex said he'd go for a dip in the pool, then we all said even though we were all clean we would too and why not take one of the rings down with us to dive through!
so a bit of backround history is that Georgie had scoliosis which is when your spine is twsited 1 and 1/2 years ago she had an operation in which this was corrected. but she has metal rods in her back.

ANYWAY, we'd all dove into the ring once or twice each and i was in the water while Georgie, Lolly
and Alex were on the pool side, now Georgie kept diving in with it too close so they pushed it out
further and promised her she would make it, she freaked and kinda just fell into the po
ol almost and got caught
basically she caught her neck and flipped over, so she nearly fainted right there or maybe s
he did but
alex and lauren jumped in and alex held her up while we all swam her over and got her out of the pool, w
e brought her back
to the apartment where we laid her on the bed and where slowly her whole arm started to go numb... not good

We called a doctor and he said we needed to get her to hospital in an ambulance! so long story short she ended up staying overnight with alex in the hospital while me and lauren tried to
find a hotel close by, the next day everything was delayed and they spoke about keeping her in another night but we were to fly home the next day, we threatened to discharge her so they moved everything up and she was let go, as long as she wore a neck brace for the week!

so we had a lovely holiday, got a bit of a tan, ran out of money
but still we were always smiling!
love you all!

New meaning to the word 'Blonde'!





That's right people. I'm blonde. very blonde!it was a mistake!
I wanted to dye my hair blonder without the cost but not THIS blonde!
My best friend Gerogie did it for me!

we added this bleech stuff and it went... patchy and blonde aswell as ginge!
then we used 101 nice n' easy and this happened! at least it's all the one
colour eh!?
Thats the colour it's 'supposed' to be!

So i'd have to say that i would recommend that you get your hair done by a professional! I got a few looks today as if to say... what where you thinking!?
I kinda like it now it's growing on me... thoughts?

Oh! and i'm off on holidays very early Sunday to Portugal for the week! with 3 friends... 2 of the friends are sisters and the other is going out with my best friend out of the 3!(shes in my year in school!) so it's the sisters the boyfriend and me! haha can't wait!

What is beauty?-Perfection

So something i've questioned my whole life but now in the last 2 days more then ever is beauty.
What is beauty?
This must be the most asked question of all time am i right?
There is this perception of beauty that every girl
tries to live to be. I am one of those girls.
We are told by friends, family and magazines from a very young age what we are 'supposed' to look like.
I imagine perfection not being confident or successful but how good you look in a bikini. I know i'm wrong b
ut i do believe that until I'm comfortable in my
body i won't be happy. Which will probably be never because one can never be pretty enough, skinny enough, graceful enough or... perfect enough.

for this blog post i typed one word simply into the google search engine, "P
erfection
". I expected yes some photos of beautiful wo
man posing for a camera but i also imagined beautiful oasis' with green grass, blue skies and a blazing sun, but all i saw where pictures with slogans the very first image that appeared on
my window was this.
Is this true? we will see in our eyes what perfection is walking around us but never be it outselves?

To be honest though the woman in those photos are not perfection to me. I see perfection in the body of a blonde, tall, skinny and breath taking beautiful woman.
will this ever be me? well not the tall part and the skinny could take a while and as for breath taking beautiful well you can only know the answer to that from others.

But back on track the reason the question of beauty has been on my mind for more so then ever these past 2 days.

I was making onion rings the other evening, i love the taste but i find after i make them i do not quite like them as i know how much oil they have used but i love watching them fry as they turn the golden colour in the piping hot oil. those are the key words in this story, PIPING HOT.
I was finished and i put the sauce pan in the sink but because it was so hot the oil splashed up and hit my forehead and eye lid. the pain was so bad i just wanted it to stop. well after lots of ice and a nap the pain wasn't as bad, but the burn was hideous and i felt discusting, yesterday i didn't leave the house as i feel so ugly. if that isn't bad enough i woke up this morning and it's worse not better, makeup hurts on it and it doesn't cover it anyway so thats no help.
This photo is what i took earlier.
So i am not looking forward to a party tomorrow night to say the least, i will be avoiding the cameras and hanging my head in shame almost but i will be attending which is a step up from hiding in the house.
The burns may seem small and non existent to you but to me they are huge and hideous, i am a big girl, i chunky dunk rather then skinny dip my face is the only thing that I can try to make pretty with makeup, makeup has been my passion lately and without it i feel horrid.

so yes thats the end of my post i know it's not got a happy ending in that i totally believe in perfection and that appearance is important and that i haven't reached that level.

YET.

Chocolate Biscuit Cake!



So i'm going to include some recipes on this as my blog is called is it time to eat? is it not!?

SO with that said todays recipe is chocolate biscuit cake!
now the following picture is the one I made quickly not caring about presentation but here is a photo anyhow!...
the perfect way to consume a bit of this is with a big cup of coffee in an i heart tea mug!

So do you want to know my recipe? well you can quickly, then maybe look up a real one if you like strict instructions!
You will need:
1 packet of digestive biccys
butter
hot chocolate powder
golden syrup
saucepan
a dish to put the cake in
cholate to melt for the top
Method:
-get a packet of digestive biscuits however i used rich tea lite biscuits! grand did the the job!
-crush these as much as you can while their still in the packet, i used a ladle
-then when usually the packet rips empty them into the dish you are using for the cake, make sure you've washed your hands and crush the rest with your hands, you don't want them to look like dust though!
now this is where it gets a bit throw this here and there!
-get a big dolap of butter and let it melt on low heat in the saucepan
-add 1 desert spoon of maple syrup and stir melting it into the butter
-add 2 desert spoons of the chocolate drinking powder(i used dairymilk!)
-stir, then add this to the biccys, if it does not cover all of the biscuits make the sauce thing again without the golden syrup!
-smoosh down the mixture so its tight in the container
-melt the chocolate and spread it over the top, no drizzle you don't want it everwhere(not like mine, i made a mistake)
-put it in the fridge to set, but not too long otherwise it goes rock hard!!
you can add raisons or nuts oh or my personal fave a secret ingredient is malteesers! like fo sho... makes it AMAZING!
AND THATS IT!

maybe yours will look like this...
