On Tuesday, I went to see 5 Seconds of Summer with three of my friends at the Manchester arena. THEY WERE AMAZING!! I had so much fun and I would definitely go again.
I enjoyed their support act, obviously not as much as I enjoyed them, but they were still good. They are called Hey Violet and although I have heard rumours about how they are mean and bitchy and apparently bullied someone out of the group, they are still OK to listen to.
While I was at the concert, before I handed in my ticket, a modelling scout came up to me and asked about modelling! I have a friend who models, but I was very over excited. They asked for my mum to call them and so I now have to send them some pictures of me. I am really excited because they are from IMG and apparently they are a very big modelling agency!

Pitch Perfect 2
On Friday, I went to see pitch perfect two. I really enjoyed it (mostly because we were the only ones in the cinema) and I would definitely recommend it. It is VERY similar to the first one, but the singing is good and it is as nice film to chill out and watch.
Incase you were unaware, the Bellas had an embarrassing performance and get kicked out of their tour. To reclaim their glory, they have to win the world a cappella championships and along the way they must "discover their sound".

Look what I found!!
Today I was going through all of my soaps and bath stuff and I found this:
It's called candyfloss cloud by nspa and it smells so nice! It came in a set with coconut ice and a lemony one.

Nail Polish
I, like many girls, have an abundance of nail polishes. So, I thought I would share with you some of the good ones, and some of the not so good ones. I have a variety of colours, although I have a lot of blue! As you can see, I also have a lot of Barry M nail polishes. This is because
Top Line
My first one is a blue glitter from Barry M that I am really disappointed that I can't find anywhere in the shops. It has cool packaging as the lid is glittery like the actual polish. I really like Barry M because they are cheaper than number 7, but aren't really bad quality. Also, Boots quite often do a 2 for 3 so I can get one cheaper! Another thing that I like about them is that the bottle is square, this means that they are very easy to store. This sounds a bit strange, but I have a lot and it is very difficult to fit them all in one place!
My next one is basically the blue glitter, but in gold. This gives a more festive, exciting look than the blue, but I really like them both. I usually end up wearing the blue one more because I wear a lot of blue, so it goes with everything.
Next is "Black Multi Glitter" or number 333/321. Again, it is Barry M and I really like it because black goes with most things, so it is a very versatile nail polish. Also, it adds a little bit of excitement because of the glitter in it. The glitter is quite subtle, so it doesn't distract from your outfit.
Next is Maybelline's "show me the green", I got this for Christmas from a friend. even though it is a very pretty colour, it is very thin and comes off quite easily. So it's ok for a night out, but if you want to wear it for multiple days, then this is not the one for you.
Bottom line
One of my favourites is a Number 7 stay perfect nail polish that I stole from my mum. It is a bright blue called "stand back" 300. It is very good quality nail polish and is very rich in colour. I love it! Obviously Number 7 is a bit more expensive than Barry M for example, but I definitely think that it is worth it.
ANOTHER two Barry Ms are next, "Indigo" 312 which have had forever and my mum steals from me! And "Spring Green" 290 which I recently bought and I feel is a rather spring/summery colour.
Although the next two are Barry M, they are crackle nail polishes. This means that they act like a coloured top coat, but they crack so that you can see the colour below as well. I have them in black and white as I feel these two colours go with literally everything. The one thing with crackle nail polish is that you can only apply them once, if you try to do any kind of second coat, you just cover up the crackle and it doesn't work. This can be really frustrating as you have to completely redo the whole nail. However, I think they look really cool and it means you can have two colours on one nail without a load of faff.
Again a Barry M! This one in "shocking pink" 272. I originally bought this for a friend, but decided to keep it instead. I am not normally a pink kinda girl but I thought "why not?" I really like it and it is the only pink in my collection (so far!).
These last two are from Ted Baker. I don't know what they are called, but one is a goldy orange colour and one is silvery. I really like the colours, but was a bit disappointed because they come off really easily. If you use them, then I would definitely use a top coat, I am normally lazy and don't, but if you don't use a top coat with these, then they will come off very quickly. I would actually suggest buying Barry M over Ted Backer because they are better and cheaper!
These nail things are not nail polishes, but they do stuff to your nails. It can look quite cool, but only if you do it right!
The first two are little beads that you pour over a clear nail polish and they stick to it creating a bobbly effect. They can look quite cool but need an over coat because they fall off quite easily. I got given these which is why they are pink and purple. These are just from a pound shop, but I think you can get them from the internet as well.
Almost all of the other ones are nail art pens. These came in a pack and are quite good for doing details on your nails. The glittery ones aren't very good, but the coloured ones work really well. They come with a little pointy bit and a brush option. They are really cool and very effective.
The very last one is a glittery top coat from Clair's, I really like it because it adds a little bit of fun to an outfit! :)

Cutting My Hair
So, quite recently, I cut my hair short for charity. I suddenly thought that I should do a post so that you know about it and maybe you could do it too! There is quite a story that accompanies it so here goes...
A while ago in year 7 (11-12), I had REALLY long hair, so long that I could almost sit on it! Ages ago, we had some friends that grew their hair and gave it to a charity for wigs for children with leukaemia and other forms of cancer. I decided that this was what I wanted to do too. My mum looked into it and we found a lady who did it properly and in return cut your hair for free. I went and got it cut, she was very nice and made a massive fuss of me, even though she didn't expect to be paid.
After that, I grew my hair again until last summer in year 9 (13-14) when I decided that I wanted to donate it again. So, my mum called the nice hairdresser, but found that her hairdressers had been taken over by someone else. She looked into it a bit and discovered that what had happened was that her only daughter, aged 16, had now got cancer and the hairdresser was unable to work. Her daughter uses one of the wigs from the charity that I donated my hair to. She still said that she would cut my hair, and so I went to her house and she was very friendly. However, she revealed that she had given her hairdressers to a colleague, but the colleague had turned around and not let her work there at all. Her only source of income was taken from her, her daughter had cancer and all her friends acted weirdly around her. Her daughter also had been betrayed as one of her friends had started ignoring her, and leaving her out of group outings. However, because of her wig, she still looked amazing at prom.
I just want to say, if you can donate your hair or raise money for this charity, then please, please do. If you are interested, here is the link: http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk

Physics
One thing you will probably learn by reading this blog is that I am quite a sciencey person. I have a logical mind apparently... Anyway, I was doing some (quite boring) physics homework when I realised three things:
- Gold is formed in the heart of a dying
sunsupernova, one of the most beautiful events in the universe - Elements for life come from dead stars - everyone is made of stars
- Atoms are mostly made of empty space, so everyone and everything is actually, hardly there

Sophie McKenzie
Sophie McKenzie has written many books, including the "Missing" trilogy. In this series, a teenage girl discovers that she was stolen from her parents when she was very young. Throughout the first book, she tries to find her true parents and obviously, there are some difficulties along the way. The story is quite scary, so don't read if you get easily freaked out! They are all quite dramatic, but I personally prefer the first as I feel that McKenzie kind of made a story out of thin air in the later books, especially by the third book. However, I would definitely recommend them.
She has also written a set of two books called "Split Second" and "Every Second Counts". These books are very exciting and are quite topical as they are about terrorism. They follow two people affected by a terrorist attack and what then happens to them. I got the first one for Christmas and then literally read it in a day. One complaint that I have is that the story flicks between two characters which can sometimes be confusing as you don't know who's perspective it is from or annoying as you want to know what happens next. They are action packed with a little bit of romance thrown in, however it doesn't affect the storyline which I think is quite important as sometimes romance can become the centre of a story that isn't based on romance. Overall, very good and will suck you in!
I also enjoyed two of her other series: "Blood ties" and "the Medusa Project", which are both very good. What I like about all of these series is that they are aimed at either male or female readers. Quite often, authors can write gender specific books, but all of the series that I have read (maybe "Girl Missing" not so much) have had strong male and female main characters which I feel is important. I haven't read all of her books, but the ones that I have read, I have greatly enjoyed.

This is for her teenage section, but she does write older books if you're interested!
Hello!
Hi, so I wanted to make a blog about random things that I like or little arty things that I do. However, I am not very artistic, so the things I do will probably be quite easy or end in disaster. I also LOVE reading, so I will probably post little things about books that I have read or want to read. This blog will probably end up being quite random, but you're going to have to live with that!
