February Favourites

Hey guys! I can't believe it, March is here. The past two months have gone by so fast. But don't be sad, because today is my first ever monthly favourites post (yay!).

This past month there has been so many things I have loved, it was so hard to choose. So here we go.

Yankee Candle rainwashed berry 

I know I'm not alone with this. I love candles so much but at the moment this is one of my favourite candles, when I light it it makes my room smell amazing, it is a sweet smell but not too over powering. I would recommend this candle to anyone.

Yankee candle cranberry zest

This candle has a strong scent which I can't really explain. It is a really beautiful candle which I would burn all the time if I could. My friend actually bought both of the candles for me, for my birthday, and want to thank her so much as they are both such amazing candles.

Cresty eyebrow kit

For the past few months I have been seeing products like this around, but they never really appealed to me because I thought using a stencil on your eyebrow would be really noticable and messy, so I never thought about purchasing a kit. But the other weekend I went to London for a dance festival. While I was there I saw a stall selling this set; they asked me if I wanted a free test of it and after she applied it I was amazed. I have always had quite light eyebrows and I'm always looking for new products, and after that I would recommend this product to everyone. My eyebrows look very defined and elegant. I have never liked any eyebrow product as much as this.

Topshop lipstick Wicked

I have always been a fan of dark lips, but most lipsticks tend to fade and look messy after a while. But not this. I have never thought of getting a topshop lipstick before but now after this I will be buying more. It is a really dark beautiful matte red, that goes with almost every look.

Smashbox hydrating primer

Lately my skin has been feeling super dry, even after moisturising, and when I put my makeup on my skin feels awful throughout the day. But now that I have started using this primer my skins feels a beautiful and healthy. You only need a little bit, so the product tends to last a long time (like they say a little goes a long way). I bought mine in a set that also includes the original and the luminizimg primer which are both amazing.

Urban Decay eyeliners

Where do I even start with these. I love to wear eyeliner but the only problem is that it tends to smudge throughout the day and looks really messy. Not anymore, these eyeliners are all quick dry( it only takes 30 seconds then boom they won't smudge all day). Mine are the double sided ones which come in a set, you can also buy them singular but you don't get the variety of colours, as the colours LSD and Tornado can only be bought in this set. My favourite colours at the moment have to be Tornado and Perversion. I think this is an amazing set and I think every girl needs this set. 

That's it for today I hope you enjoyed this post ( if not I'm really sorry), see you soon

Pressure

Do you ever feel so pressured and confused in life that you just want to scream? Do you hold back the tears to look strong? In our society too much pressure is put on people: to get good grades, to be strong, to be independent, to have the perfect look and to be the best at everything. There is too much pressure to be perfect.

Imagine a girl your age; she is a happy bubbly person; she does well in school; has a lot of friends and she is quite pretty. She seems to have it all; she has everything you want. But she is just like you. She is scared to fail her exams and crams for every test, but she's never happy with her score. She is insecure with her weight. She pressures herself so much she crys, and screams; she applys so much pressure to herself, along with the pressure from her parents. But she will never cry infront of anyone, because she does not want to look weak, she does not want to seem uncapical. She doesn't want people to know she is pressured and needs help.

Pressure can start from other people like your parents, teachers, employer, family and friends; but over time it will come from yourself. The pressure you put on yourself is the hardest, because nothing is good enough for you. 

I have spent nights crying from the pressure I have put on myself for the big and the small things. I will admit I pressure myself all the time when I shouldn't. I break myself. 

But now I know I don't need to because it doesn't make anything better. Everyone needs to challenge themself in life and do need a little bit of pressure. But no one should ever go to breaking point. 

Just breathe. Tell yourself it's okay, there is no need to panic, you are unique, you have different talents and quality a to everyone else around you. No one is perfect. And no one can do everything. 

I know this wasn't the happiest of post, and it may not interest you all, but this is just something I had to say.

I will be posting more soon (hopefully more happy/fun posts) so please come read, if you want, whatever floats your boat.

Today's the day!

It's time to get fit.

I have never been an unhealthy person, I have been dancing since I was 3 and I try to take part in other activities. But lately I have felt like I haven't been doing enough, so today was the day I started my new exercise routine. 

I started off my day by changing into my workout outfit from H and M. I then brushed my teeth and cleaned my face with the clean and clear gentle facial wash, followed by the say yes to grapefruit daily facial scrub. I finished off with my Olay essential moisturiser. I also tied my hair up in a simple cute topknot.

Next I went downstairs to make some breakfast. Today I just make a fruit smoothie with pineapple, grapes, strawberries, pear and kiwi. All of these fruits are great for your body and skin, kiwi is filled with antioxidants which are great for you in so many ways, and the pineapple helps keep your skin clear and beautiful. 

Now that I was all ready, I grabbed my water and headed upstairs to work out. Today I decided to use a Workout DVD. I used Davina's the power of 3. This is such a great workout and it really can challenge you. This workout lasted about 1 hour. After this I grabbed my yoga mat and did a quick 30 minute yoga session. 

After this I got ready for ballet and took part in 2 classes. I then came home showered and made myself a tune and mayonnaise jacket potato.

Today has made me feel really energised and feel 100% better. In the future I am going to change my workout a bit everytime so it doesn't become boring. But I think today was a really great workout and I am very happy with myself.

Remember if you want to workout it can be so much more fun with a friend to do it with. 

Thanks for reading.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog. I have never done this before, but I am really excited. My name is Anna Townsend, I'm 14 and I'm from Newcastle,England. I have wanted to start a blog for over a year now, but I kept putting it off, until now. On my birthday, last weekend, I decided it was time to start my blog and youtube channel (finally).

I haven't fully decided what my blog is going to be about. It may end up being about nothing and everything all at once. I am writing this blog for me and to express myself, so I guess this blog does have a theme it's about me and my life. I don't know how frequent my writing will be but I know that I want it too be worth while, so it might take a while for new posts.

But anyways you might want to know somethings about me (or you might not, whatever floats your boat), so here is a few facts about me.

1. I have a little Jack Russel called Poppy and a cat Called Tinker

2. I am a bit of a Disney freak

3. I love to read

4. I love all types of music except most pop music  (e.g. One Direction, Arianna Grande, Selena Gomez,Justin Beiber, 5SOS, ect)

5. I am the embarrassing friend. I will sing and dance in public; I will basically embarrass my friends in public in any way I can (but they still love me... I hope) 

6. I have an older sister called Louise who also has an awesome blog that I will mention in the future that you should have a look at

7. Finally I am a fabulous person in every way (just joking)

I hope you keep reading, because I can't wait to start blogging.
