My Top 3 Wattpad Stories


If fanfics ain't your thing then my other second choice is The Bad Boy's Girl by JessGirl93.

*Edit*
I posted this a few days ago but for some reason it deleted so I'm re-posting this as today's post rather than this and another one because I'm lazy sorry

Hey y'all

Something's been up with my blog and I haven't been able to post for y'all sorry :( But now on to a topic I love... WATTPAD!!!111!!111!1
In the case that you do not know what Wattpad is, it's a website in which anyone can become an author and write texts which anyone can read.
I haven't read on Wattpad in some months because an author wrote a story that I really got into and they didn't end it the way I would've liked... (Yes I am that sort of person.) But recently me and my amigos are really feelin' Wattpad so I thought I should share the three stories that I felt the most obsessed with.
Must Date The PLAYBOY! (PUBLISHED)

1. Must Date The PLAYBOY! by notjustarandomgirl

This must've been one of the first stories I ever came across on Wattpad when I joined 2 years ago. Without spoiling too much, it's basically about a good girl who dates a bad boy (it's not as cliché as it sounds I promise), and it honestly had me so hooked and so tensed up and omFG IT WAS JUST AMAZING.

2. Dark (A Harry Styles Fanfic) by H28

So yes this is a fanfiction and yes it includes a member of One Direction so if this is not you cup of tea please skip this paragraph. This is like the original dark Harry (dark Harry being Harry as a bad boy) fanfic so if you are a 1D stan I assume you already know about this. Unfortunately it keeps getting removed off Wattpad because of it's Rated-R nature but if you can manage to find it somewhere..

The Bad Boy's Girl (Bad Boy Series #1)This really did get me hooked from beginning to end... I had no sleep for 2 days and the only time I put it down was to shower and go to school. It got me so emotionally attached to the characters and I admire the author for creating such a good read. There are some editorial mistakes (which were really hard for me not to comment on because I'm a grammar Nazi

3. Sweet Madness by cold_lady19

Sweet Madness (Editing)This is also one of the first stories I came across on Wattpad. I went on the Discover > Thriller category because I wanted to give myself a scare. I got hooked and in turn scared to death of sleeping in the dark or doing anything associated with the dark. It includes demons and all that freaky stuff so if you're into that and haven't already read it... It's extremely well written and thought out so.. yeah.

Yours Truly,

Your Bestie,

5 Makeup Must-Haves



b/n Sorry a post two posts have been absent, but I was stuck in London without a computer and I went to a halloween sleepover so... I apologise. btw, happy november :)

Hey y'all

I know I'm not the most qualified person in the world to be talking about makeup and recommending stuff, but it's gonna happen anyway hehe.

1. Skin Cleanser/A Gentle Exfoliator
I am aware this is not technically makeup, but in my opinion you can't even start piling on the foundation and powder without having healthy skin first. Cleansers and exfoliators just close pores and make it less likely for you to develop blackheads and spots. For me, Clearasil has amazing skin care products, but we're all different hey?

2. Primer
Even with flawless skin, I wouldn't advise anyone to just start whacking on the foundation straight away. Protect your skin with a primer, similar to applying a base coat to your nails before the proper nail polish. It's meant for pre-foundation, but nothing is stopping you from wearing just primer if you're not quite into that sorta stuff. This smashbox primer is literally heaven-sent in my opinion, and has caused a lot of hype because of this.




3. CC/BB Cream
Complexion Correcting/Beauty (or Blemish) Balm Creams are unnecessary for some people, but I think they really do wonders for your skin if you pick a good one. Especially if you want to have the appearance of wearing makeup but you don't want to use foundation, or you're just beginning to use makeup.
I personally love the Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream.


4. Concealer
You can get concealer to conceal spots, brighten up dark under-eye circles, or both, and the come in lots of different forms to suit you. Spots are something almost everyone gets, but let's be honest, they ain't the most attractive thing you could ever have, so you may choose to make them 'disappear'. It's almost a foundation but only half the price, but you can't smother your whole face in it.
In my experience I find MAC's concealers the best, especially the Pro Longwear one,




5. Mascara/Eyeliner
The only reason why this isn't up at the top is because making your waterline black and doing winged eyeliner doesn't make your skin any better, and tbh I think that's the most important thing. Healthy skin. But everyone knows that a bit of eye makeup really can transform a person. Eyeliner defines your beautiful eyes and, even though falsies might have to be an option for a lot of people, a really good mascara can do the job if you have longer lashes. They're cheap and easy to find too. Rimmel's Scandaleyes range does the trick for me, and this Benefit eyeliner looks questionable, but is actually A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

My 5 Most Favourite Quotes Ever

Everyone likes a good inspirational/depressing/deep quote right?



Heart? Or mind? Always a difficult decision

I like to take every day as it comes. Nothing lasts forever

God wouldn't waste his time on it if it's not worth it

I am guilty of this oops
Life motto tbh. Thank you Audrey Hepburn

FIFA 15

*b/n* Is every 3 days often enough for posts? Because that's what I'm gonna do hehe

Hey y'all,

The newest version of Fifa has been out for a while now; I'm sure y'all are familiar with it. Anyway, this post isn't gonna be a review or anything, as it's been out for so long now I'm pretty sure the internet has been flooded with them already.
Aside from the fact that FIFA 15 is like amazing and my FUT (Fifa Ultimate Team) is like amazing too (well it's not amazing yet, but it's getting there), what I wanted to post about is the fact I locked myself out of my account. sad face.

You have to answer a security question, and I couldn't seem to remember what I previously wrote as the answer, and I left the resetting answer thing too late. Therefore, I am locked out of my account.

This literally broke my heart because my fifa is my life. I literally can't live without it. And yes, I am still a girl for any of you who are by now, questioning the authenticity of my gender.

So I had to contact the EA Sports customer services 4 times, which took about my whole day, Apparently they're going to fix it soon (but I don't know when soon is) and I really hope they do because my servers for FIFA 14 won't work (where I had quite an impressive squad line-up), and I'm really not mentally or physically prepared to start again from scratch.

I accept all pity should you feel it.

P.S. I thought I posted this two days ago but clearly I didn't oops

My Top 3 Smartphones

(Blogger's note)
Sorry I haven't written in like almost two weeks... It won't happen again I promise please forgive me


Okay so,

I am obsessed with technology and though I may not be the first to buy all the latest gadgets (through lack of funds, if you would like to sponsor me with money I am open to all offers... just kidding), I am always the first to know about them. That being said, I spend a lot of time looking at all the tech-specs of phones and the like, just because I have nothing better to do with my life. Here are my top 3 smartphones that are out in the UK market:

(I haven't personally used them all but I have decided according to the specifications & reviews etc.)

1. iPhone 6
If I took price into consideration this wouldn't even make it onto the list, as it is ridiculously priced in the UK. £539 is the cheapest we can talk about, whereas across the pond (USA) prices start from $199. In terms of the actual content though, everyone knows what there is to love about iPhones.

2. Samsung Galaxy S5
I mean it's super tough, which is particularly good if you regularly drop you phone in the toilet, bath, outside, down the back of the sofa, and just everywhere basically (I swear I'm not a phone abuser). It sports a 16MP camera, good enough for me, a quad core 2.5GHz processor (super super fast), a freaking 4K video camera (they also call 4K 'Ultimate HD') and a good battery life (excellent for an avid phone user aka me).

3. HTC One M8
I've always wanted a HTC One, because it was simple amazing, then the HTC One M8 came out and I was like woah. The only reason it's third is because I'd rather boast that I have and iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S5 to my amigos.

Bacon Crisps Review

Hey y'all

Today my blog post is gonna be about crisps! (or potato chips as you call them in most other parts of the work except the UK)

Specifically, bacon flavoured crisps (and they have to be either Walkers or McCoy's because all the rest are just rip-offs and taste like s**t)



Price: 55p, reasonable enough


Crisps to air ratio: Walkers - 10% crisps : 90% air   McCoy's - 50% crisps : 50% air


                                      Tastiness factor /10: off the scale


                                      Final verdict: fantabulous

Note;
I'm gonna be posting every other day from now on A homegirl's schedule is too busy for daily blog posts (ie. I like twitter too much)

Baby Names

I'm kinda obsessed with babies, and in turn, baby names. I once wrote all the ones I really liked and saved them on my phone in a memo... but then I accidentally deleted everything....

I think I managed to gather them all again though, yay! Basically I just spend hours on mum forums and look at everyone's ideas and yeah. Not weird at all.

I have a long way to go (8 years at least until I want to even start thinking about having a baby), but I just wanna be prepared you know? So I can present a list to my future partner and he can chose from my suggestions (obviously I'm gonna involve him but I'm not having my future children being called anything chavvy or ratchet like caightlynne or sharayrayquanda).

I want names that look nice written down because I feel like my name (Sarah) looks so ugly. It also has to original-ish (not too common but nothing out of the ordinary). I like using spellings that not so many people have, but at the same time I don't want everyone always spelling my child's name wrong. I also want my child/children to have at least one middle name, and the all the names (first, middle/s, and surname) have to sound right together.
I tend to be a bit pickier with girls' names because there's a lot more variety and idk.

Don't pretend you've never pondered on what you would call your children.... Multiple times. I'm guilty, you're guilty, we're all guilty, and so we might as well embrace it. Discuss it. Share ideas. You know?

I'll start:

Boys
Austin
Aaron
Calum
Cody
Connor
Cameron
Dylan
Jayden/Jaiden/Jaden
Jordan
Rhys
Tristan
Xavier
Zach

Girls
Abigail
Can I just point out that this is like the
 cutest thing ever
Alyssa
Annalise
Ashleigh
Brooke/Brooklynne
Kaylee/Kayleigh
Merrilee
Scarlett
Sienna
Skye
