♡ life ♡

So, I hate to be negative, truly I do, but the last couple of months have been horrible. This year I've completely changed and luckily due to these positive changes, I have been able to cope reasonably well with my health deterioration. I've had my rough patches, but hopefully after my tonsillectomy that I'm having on Tuesday, I will be feeling a lot better as the constant infection from my tonsils in my body has caused a lot of problems and made me really ill to the point where my mum had to get an ambulance to take me to A&E so they could monitor my heart. 

I've not been at college much which has really got me down as my education is the most important thing to me but I can pat myself on the back because I applied for Uni early and got my place at Manchester Metropolitan University to study Biomedical Science! Woo-hoo. Everyone is really shocked I managed it, but well, just shows I'm underestimated doesn't it? My illness doesn't define me and if anyone reads this who has any sort of problem or they have had a bad patch in life, I promise you, it will NEVER define who you are. 

I'm off to watch some family guy in bed now with my babies (hehe my dogs).

God bless,

Night time beauty ♡

Hey beautiful creatures!

Not posted for an awful long time but thought I'd grace you with my presence today so I can show you my current night time face & body routine!

First, I cleanse and 'tone' my face using Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Cleaning and Toning Lotion (dying for Liz Earle but I'm a poor woman!) then apply Soap and Glory Eye Cream to my eyes because I get such bad under eye circles.. ew. I then apply Tesco Hydrating Night Cream with Cucumber Extract (this was a quick buy, needed a night cream and it was the first one I found, but it smells nice) onto my face and Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil onto my body.

lots of love,

Lainey ♡

♡ Hair ♡

Recently, I've been having a lots of problems with the condition of my hair.
I decided back in July to go blonde which led to all my hair falling out and me having to get a bob. :(
Anyway, I got it back to a reasonable condition around January but a few weeks ago, I went back to a nice brown colour so I didn't have to kill it with bleach anymore.
The only shampoo on the market which gets my hair actually feeling like hair again is the Joico K-Pak to Repair Damage. According to my hairdresser, It has proteins that most shampoos don't and it really does make a difference. You can actually buy it on Amazon for £10!

Now, of course, now my hair is short and I'm DESPERATE to grow, I've been using some Root Stimulating Olive Oil. It's a creme and you can put it all over your hair but I just rub it in my roots once a week, leave it for a couple of hours and wash it off and wash my hair as usual. You can buy this product from Boots for £4 :)

Finally, I want to mention what I tend to use if I want to give my hair a deep condition. It's not really advertised as a deep conditioner but it really does leave your hair silky soft with no strays/frizz. It's by Lee Stafford and it's called Poker Straight treatment and it really does what it says in it's beautiful pink tin! (: I love it! You can buy it from any major supermarket/drugstore for around the £7 mark.

♡ Twitter ♡

Today, I'm led in bed and I'm sick. I've noticed that when I'm sick or bored or whatever else, I head to my favourite social network, which is Twitter. I literally write the strangest stuff. And I LOVE IT. I would have no friends if I wrote a Facebook status as frequently as I tweet but on Twitter, it's completely give to ramble and moan and people follow you for doing it. It's great! I want to follow more people in the Twitter world so if you fancy adding me to your timeline. Follow @LaineyHarrison and tweet me you came from here and I'll follow you back! I love making new friends! <3

♡ Beauty Youtubers ♡

Hello blog people!

Just wanted to make a post highlighting my favourite youtubers for tips and tricks for hair and beauty.
So anyway, my two all time favourites ever in the whole wide world are Zoella and SprinkleofGlitter. They are both English so instead of looking at all the American brands that are really difficult to get over here, they talk about all the lovely UK brands and they go to the 'drugstores' here in England. They review products, do hauls and are also best of friends. They both have blogs if you didn't already know. I would highly consider checking them out. I will also link a video of theirs each ;)

Desk Organisation!

Just a quick post to say I'm so proud of myself for finally organising my desk that I've had for like.. a year with stuff just piled on top of it.. Naughty Laine! I love sitting at it and just relaxing on my laptop with all my college work organised in my folder.  Gives me space so I don't sit on my laptop when I'm meant to be in bed too. Got my Yankee Candle in Bahama Breeze next to me and it smells, divine.

Love

Skyrim.

Okay, so the other day, I finally purchased Skyrim after getting my PS3 for christmas (I've been die hard XBox for a very long time) but I never got the XBox version, so decided to go ahead and purchase it on PS3. Now, I have to say, I used to play a lot of Runescape and it very much reminds me of that, but whatever, I liked Runescape! (SAD) I think it's really easy to get into and very very addictive! I made my 'character' a High Elf but the other choice of characters were really fun to go through, lots to choose from and the option to be a girl, WOO. Love a good none sexist game! Will 100% be playing this a lot in the next few weeks. Go The Elder Scrolls! :)

Eyebrows.

Eyebrows, more specifically, girls eyebrow's.. are a topic of hmm.. controversy at the moment.

So do we or do we not shade until we can shade no more?

Me, personally, I love a good shaded brow and am defiantly pro-scouse brow. I'm not ashamed, the eyes frame the face, and who wants a shabby, tatty frame when they can have a beautiful defined neat set of eyebrows? Not judging those who don't shade, some people really don't need to.. lucky buggers. 

But anyway, the key is to actually follow the shape of your eyebrow, and not go too far trying to make it look square or circle or whatever so you end up with near enough a monobrow trying to sort it out. That, I will agree, not too sexy. For my daily eyebrow look, I use the Benefit brow kit 'Brow Zings' in dark (yes, yes I'm aware I'm blonde, naughty me). It's my favourite ever brow kit and would recommend it to those who are savvy with a makeup brush. If not, there is a Benefit pencil too, which is a lot easier if you're just starting off. Believe me. 

Heres a link to the product on the Benefit website if anyone is interested: http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/brow-zings

Today.

Hello Bloggers!

Today, has not been the best of days to be honest.
Sitting in doing nothing for long periods of time does me no good, even though sometimes I have to.
Not feeling very well and full of the winter blues.
I have put spot cream all over my face, the best spot cream I know of, Don't know what i'd do without it. I hate my little breakouts. Sigh.

Heres a picture of the cream I use, I recommend it to anyone:

2013

I decided that in 2013 I would write down the things that I do, so that, I can actually remember. My memory isn't all it used to be you see (haha, I'm 17).

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

My youtube is full of fun videos lol not. It's just me singing. Please if you wouldn't mind, check them out.

Love From,
Lainey x

Yes, I decided to get a blog. I don't know what I am doing. More to come.
