Things don't always go to plan.



I was going to do a review on a make up product, but I think this topic is a bit more important.

Around about now, people find out if they have been accepted into Colleges, Courses and even Uni. You might have dreams and have your heart set on a certain course, but things don't go to plan.

Last year, I had my whole heart set on going to Gen 2 (This is a Engineering course in my home town.). I didn't pass my Aptitude test by 3 points. I was heart broken. my one and only plan was gone and I didn't have a clue what to do. I'm a strong believer of the quote 'As one door closes, another one opens'. I just wasn't sure when this door was going to open.

A door did open, 3 doors. I got accepted into two Colleges and a 6th Form. I picked college , as you all know.

My point is, things don't go to plan. You wont get all the things you apply for. I know this, I went all the way to Manchester and didn't get my apprenticeship. but I never stopped. It made me work a little harder, challenge myself a little longer and make myself the best possible person I could be.

Here's a few tips to help you not so much cope, but see the light at the end of the dingy tunnel.



  1. Reward yourself for even getting this far, it doesn't mean you aren't good enough for them. It just means you have to work a little harder.
  2. Don't get yourself down, it;s going to be okay.
  3. Don't give up, I can honestly tell you that there will be other opportunities around for you. They are probably even better.
  4. The best thing I ever done when I didn't have a clue what to do, was go back to school and speak to my old German teacher. He told me what I already knew, that I could do this and I just had to stick it out.
  5. I can't really encourage you to go and get drunk because you are probably under the legal age, but go out and forget about it for a while. Watch a movie, go for a walk, paint your nails or my personal favourite. Get so drunk you are sick (I don't like the sick bit though.)



Even if you have to go on another course to get your dream job or even your dream course, go you!

Follow your dreams, you will get there.

July favourites, after you guys have asked me so many times! It's not all beauty, as you'll soon find out! Umberto Giannaini Over night Beauty Moisture Balm. Can we all just have a minutes silence over this? It is amazing, utterly amazing and it's now fully embedded into my hair routine.. That's when I remember I have one. As you all know, I have bleached my hair quite a bit and the bottom of my hair has got it the worst. This balm is light so it doesn't have your hair greasy and heavy and it actually works! I've tried countless others and nothing works at all, they seem to work at the start but actually, the shine is just pure grease and we haven't got time of that! I have the travel size and it seems to last for ages, you can get the full range of this product and others by the same brand at Boots or at the website. As always, I'll link everything down below! Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb, Lush Did I steal part of Coreys present to use o

I bake cakes and have a dog!

Well, it has been some time, hasn't it? Not really sure what to type, what to talk about but here's some good news! I got a house! like a proper grown-up house where I pay bills and buy toilet paper and I'm not woken up at 3 am by my flatmate having sex with some bird (woman). Not a bird woman.. As in a woman. I'm sure she was lovely... Sober and makeup intact. You do you girl, just not at 3 am in my flat. I got a dog! after many months of searching the rspca website and looking at massive dogs that were out of the question. I somehow ended up with a fluff ball called Ernie who is a little SHIT and barks at anything. I'm off my happy pills. okay, maybe not by doctors orders but I just stopped and you know what, apart from a few bumps in the road; everything is okay. Anyways, I can see myself rambling more than drunk Anna does on Snapchat. let's leave it here! I really miss blogging and there have been many times I've sat down with ideas

My week- 18th Birthday special.

Image
This is a new type of series I will be starting.. Well starting it now. A blog post to tell you about my week, upcoming events and posts and just a general reminder of my week so far. It is going to be the raw Anna, the Anna who always goes into McDonalds and gets a Chicken Nugget Happy Meal and a Chicken Burger and the Anna who sings the same song every morning to Dan. The real Anna. I turned 18 on the 18th September 2015 and it was one of the most 'normalish' days of my life, fun and exciting and all that but I was the same old Anna, just a year older. I had my birthday party the week before, best night ever. Thanks again to everyone who bothered to turn up! My Mam put this photo up on Facebook, I mean what can I say? I was a cute baby! We took a family selfie because we are cute like that, can we all just look at Oscars face please? I think he's had enough selfies at this point. We may not be the biggest family there is but we sure are the best!
