AS Level Exam Results

This morning I awoke a nervous wreck. This surprised me as, although I agreed with my friends about being nervous previously, I wasn't actually too bothered about it. I've been stressing out about other things such as body image - but that's another topic altogether!

I was so nervous about finding out my results today, that unlike the rest of my friends, I waited until I arrived home to open them. I was so absolutely certain that I failed at least two of my exams due to the fact I didn't manage to complete some of the papers - my time keeping during sitting the exams this year was pretty terrible!

However, it turns out that I needn't have got myself so worked up about the results! I got an A in Psychology, an A in Media Studies (which really shocked me, as I completely messed up the 36 mark question and was unable to complete it), a B in English Literature and also a B in English Language. I am so over the moon with these results, as I know that the exams were being marked quite harshly this year. I am going to continue the hard work next year, and I'm going to try to carry on with all four subjects WITHOUT dropping any. It's going to be stressful, but I'm going to be so prepared for it!

Did any of you guys receive your results today? Let me know how you all did, I hope you're just as happy with your results as I was!

WONDERLAND - Boardmasters?

As some of you may or may not know, on Sunday (10th August 2014), myself and a few of my friends decided we'd venture out of our boring hometown for a night and go to Boardmasters Festival in Newquay. It wasn't quite an adventurous holiday away or anything like that, as Newquay is practically on our doorsteps, but still, to us it could be 1000 miles away as it is so much better than our rubbish lil' town!

Anyways, we weren't even there to experience Newquay (let's be honest, we could do that any day!) we were there to see Bastille, George Ezra and all the other various acts that would be performing on Sunday night of Boardmasters. So, after lot's of double checking and stressful planning via WhatsApp with 'the crew', we booked to stay in a campsite just outside of Newquay.

We arrived pretty early, set up our four man tent, and the weather was lush with just a bit of wind - pffft storm my arse - when we received pretty bad news... Boardmasters had been cancelled. What made this even more of a downer was the fact that this was the first time it had been cancelled in THIRTY THREE YEARS!? Literally, just our luck. None of us could believe it, I mean it wasn't even raining, and if it did, it was only a little shower - not a storm!? One of our friends who had stayed there for the whole weekend kept us in the loop and informed us that the stages had been ruined due to the storm that happened the night before. Yup, we were pretty gutted, at least we can get refunds though!

So, instead of what we had originally planned to do, we decided to stay in the tent for a bit (we may have got a little merry...) and travel out to Newquay. We didn't get up to much there, apart from walk around and freeze our arses off, well, that last bit may have just been me... Oops. Maybe that's due to what little I wore (and please be aware that this is a joke picture, myself and all of my friends took a picture in exactally the same pose for 'lols'):

Unfortunately, that's the only picture I have where you can see my outfit *cringe*. I wouldn't normally wear something like this, however, I thought I was going to a festival... Wearing wellies around Newquay town centre was pretty interesting to say the least!

For any of you wondering, this is what I'm wearing (I will try to link as many of the items as possible, but some of the bits are pretty old - sorry!):

Earrings - Topshop

Blue crop top - Topshop

High-waisted shorts - River Island

Bum bag - a granny bag shop located somewhere in Paigton high-street

Knee-high socks - Primark

Wellies - Primark

And here is a picture of my really sober face - so so cringey - I hardly EVER take selfies:

Apologies for the bad lighting, I was using my iPhone 4 inside a tent, although I can't say I'm really complaining - this picture is so embarrasing. The only reason I'm allowing it to be used in this post is because, sadly, it's the only 'decent' photo I have that shows my festival make-up (even though I didn't go to one this weekend).

For any of you wondering what was on my face, here you go m'lovlies:

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer

W7 Brow Bar (applied with a RealTechniques angled brush)

L'oréal Super Liner Eyeliner

Rimmel London Scandel Eyes Mascara

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Red Sunrise

(I also dotted on some Neon face paints in pink and green)

Rightio, that's it from me! Hope you all had a lovely weekend, let me know what you got up to! Did any of you manage to visit Boardmasters before it got cancelled? Hope you enjoyed this blog post, expect more to come. I pinky promise I'll try to be more consistent!

I'm Still Alive!

Okay, this isn't a proper blog post, and I probably will end up deleting this post soon in the near future, but I just wanted to let you all know that I have never forgotten this blog - believe it or not! I have just been SOO busy with Sixth Form, and although I have been doing quite a lot of things aside from doing my AS Levels, I didn't think that any of it was really 'blogworthy'.
HOWEVER, this is going to change relatively soon believe it or not, and I have some things to update you guys on:

1. I will be deleting most of my old posts, as they are pretty cringey and just oh soooo awful!
2. Next weekend I will be going to Boardmasters festival in Newquay for a night, so hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures there!
3. Finally, this is my last exciting piece of news: in October half term I will be going to... drum-roll... TURKEY!! I really cannot wait, and I will definitely be taking loads of pictures for you guys. I'm hoping to do some 'OOTDs' whilst I'm out there too, so be expecting quite a lot of content around then! I may even try out some 'vlogging' and branch out to YouTube, but that is definitely more of a maybe - imagine if people at my Sixth Form found out about that hey?? Embarrassing or what!? But I've always wanted to try it, so this trip abroad would be a brilliant time to do it.

Anyways, that's it from me now, so just watch this space for the next couple of months! Thank-you to all you lovely followers/subscribers (what is it called?! Haha) for sticking by me, even though I haven't been the most consistent, you guys truly are wonderful! I'm so excited to be getting back into this :)

Cheerio!

I think I like this word - Liebster! I am so flattered to be tagged for this award and surprised that anyone would tag me so thank you very much http://staceyfromtheblog.blogspot.co.uk/, it's very sweet of you to mention me! :D

So 11 things about me...

1-  I have a 5 year old sister (who's very annoying, but I love her to pieces!)

2-  I am 15 years of age, so I guess I am quite a young blogger!

3-  I have pink dip-dyed hair, if you didn't already know

4-  I love 80s music - it can't be helped!

5-  I used to have 2 cats, 1 rabbit, 1 hamster, gazillions of fish (not all at the same time) - but now I don't have any! :o

9-  I love swimming in the sea!

10-  I have an unhealthy obsession of buying make-up, even though I only wear mascara and concealer (maybe lipstick!)

11-  I used to have braces when I was 11, I had it off when I was 12 nearly 13, I have to wear a retainer every night though :(

Stacey's Questions! (my answers)

You're on an island and only allowed 3 products, what are they?

Hmm, this is tough because I wear 3 different mascaras... Okay, my 3 products are Rimmel London's Lash Accelerator mascara, Rimmel London's Glam Eyes Waterproof mascara (just in case I want to go for a swim y'know) and Rimmel London's Wake Me Up concealer!

What's your favourite piece of clothing?

This is extremely hard! Erm... I don't have one in particular but I have to say I'm a sucker for anything with a peter pan collar! ... Apologies for not answering properly!

What's your favourite bronzer?

Well, I only own a couple because I'm a bit skint! But, the one that's my favourite has to be Bourjois Delice de Poudre bronzer - in other words the famous chocolate bronzer, that smells delicious - it's true what they say!

What's your favourite make-up look for a night out?

I don't really go on nights out - only 15! But if I go for a meal out or out when I'm abroad, I have to say I would wear concealer, eyeliner - not too thick, my 3 coats of mascara, a little peach blush (I don't wear blush much as I have rosy cheeks!) and my Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti!

Favourite holiday destination?

Turkey - hands down! It's so hot, which is a bonus for anyone who lives in Britain! But the culture, especially in Antalya in the Old Village is absoloutly lovely. Although, there are many places I would like to go like Ibiza (not for the clubs, it just genuinely looks nice), Italy, California, Paris, Bahamas, Dubai, Maldives, Germany, St Lucia... The list goes on!

Heels or Flats?

I do like heels, they make anyones legs look so much better, long and elegant, but they do destroy my feet and they are normally off within half an hour, but I seem okay in wedges! But for this I'm gunna have to say flats... so much more comfy, and what I wear on a daily basis!

Favourite fast food?

KFC, yum yum... But McDonalds is a close 2nd!

Coffee or tea?

Tea, defintley tea... wish I liked coffee but whenever I try it, it's just bleurgh!

Where do you shop the most?

Topshop! 

Do you have any pets?

Not anymore, nope, wish I had a cat but my dad's allergic :(

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

I couldn't live out of England, I'd just miss my family too much! I quite like living in Cornwall with it's beaches, but I wouldn't mind Brighton, London or Oxford somewhere like that!

I tag you! :D
