Hiii
A couple of days ago i went to London to see some Olympic water polo (which was amazing by the way!!) And after my mum took me to Westfield :))
It's my friends birthday coming up soon and I'm invited to her party - cinema + sleepover party - so i thought I'd get her present. A bit early but hey, i guess I'm finally being organised :)
As neither me, or my mum had much money on us i thought I'd go to Primark and see what they had there. Ive heard people say that the Primarks in London aren't very good, and i must say; i couldn't disagree more! I thought it was great, the only bad thing was that it was a bit crowded and i sometimes had to go round a long way because there were people blocking the places i was trying to get to.
My friend is a HUGE lover of bags, so much that "HUGE lover of bags" could be an understatement. I think she said she had like 150! So i, obviously, went to the bag section. I was looking for a while cause its a pretty big shop with a lot of bags. But then i came across this one:
I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it and I'm really jealous of Katie but i know she'll love it too. I cant remember how much it was but it wasn't much less than ten pounds. It has a reasonably long strap but its all tapped up so you cant see. And it has some little pockets inside.
I then thought that one bag wouldn't really be enough and it hadn't been the most expensive bag in the world, so i looked around trying to find something that would go with it.. but i couldn't find anything. So i thought about what else she likes and realised she often has her hair done. So i got her this:
Its just a little hair clip thing... Well, i say little but its actually quite big. Its got little sparkles on it and it would pretty much go with anything. As you'd expect this wasn't too much either, less that five pounds but, again, i cant remember.
Then, because i hadn't actually bought anything for me i went to new look cause i wanted a bandeau to go with one of my tops. Unfortunately they only had them in L when I'm S so i went to look on the sale rail. I saw this:
It isn't actually on sale and i had to pay full price for - twenty five pounds. Bit overpriced, i wont lie. I didn't want to pay so much for it. But i really like it. It's a strapless play suit with a floral pattern on it. Made of denim, with buttons all down the front. Its really cute and i cant wait to wear it on a hot day and not get an awkward tan line where my straps were :)
I'm off to London again tonight, so you might not hear from me for a couple more days. But come back then!!!!
bye :)
I was just casually watching TV (friends), and decided I'd get back into nail varnish. I haven't painted my nails in ages cause at school you aren't aloud nail varnish, but i do have quite a few colours; clear, purple, black, grey, grey with sparkles, blue sparkles, orange, green, pink, blue/ grey.
So i just randomly picked out the grey ones with sparkles. Its called HOT but the brand is Collection 2000 and its quick dry. Its not that bad but i think I'm gonna invest in some better nail varnishes. My friend heather (hevsibev) told me that Models Own nail varnishes are pretty good, but they're also quite expensive. Not ideal for me cause at the moment i have like, 70p?
This isn't a very long post because I'm gonna go cut down some trousers now :)
Bye xx
Hi :)
Last night i got back from grendon (a drama residential) and it was AWESOME. We were put in teams and i was a 13 leaf clover - cause we had 13 people in our group, paddy's family are Irish and we were the green group.. Paddy was our team leader by the way.
In our teams we had projects to do before the mini Olympics. We wrote a song, and ,made a game. 13 leafs came second.. out of three. Which isn't too bad i suppose :P we're in the middle.
Then we went into groups and we had to make a short play based on story telling (after we had some story telling work shops, which, i wont lie, were incredibly boring.). Ours was the only one that wasn't really supposed to be funny.
It was about a girl called sky and it had a really good story line but its quite long so ill sum it up really quickly: Sky had BBD and was given pills which made her have nice dreams, so then she took and overdose so that she could dream forever.
The way back was also quite.. interesting?
We had driven about a mile and a half down the road and the car broke down so we had to wait a bit less than an hour for the AA to come and fix it.
So.. yeah, I'm back! I'll show you guys some of the pics i took for my sketch book soon too :)

Hey there,
Tonight I'm packing, cause in the morning I'm going to Grendon for a drama residential. This will be a short post because I really need to get back to packing. But, I'm gonna tell you a bit about it first :)
It's a residential for drama, with youth theatre (County drama). We have to get there for nine, I think, on Monday morning. And we're leaving at half three on Friday.
I'm not entirely sure what we're gonna be doing there. I know that there will be drama games, quiz's, swimming, a talent competition and some other stuff which I cant remember - but I don't know the details of any of it.
But the point is: I wont be able to post for the next five days, come check back on Friday and I might have a review for you?
Happy holidays!

Heya guys :)
I recently changed my mind (again) on what I want to do in the future. I get that it changes quite a lot. I once wanted to be a vet, then a musician, then an actress. And now, I wanna be a story board artist!
Absolutely everyone I've told has had no idea what it is. And I didn't either, until we had a lesson about it in Ict (Love that teacher).
Story board artists are basically people who draw everything that happens in a film before they film it. On little pieces of paper or on a computer. But I'd draw it cause I love drawing. I think they do it to plan the film, as well as save money.
I realised that I wanted to be a Story board artist in Ict because it's a mixture of drama (Which i LOVE), and art (Which i LOVE). I guess I managed to find something in the middle :)
So I'm gonna try to get an art GCSE, as well as the compulsories, history and drama. And Then go to sixth form and do my A levels. After that I wanna go to an Art collage... But I don't know any, if you do, can you let me know? Never to early to plan, right? :P
I hope you liked hearing about Story board art, I did in ict! And, you never know, maybe you'll get into it some day too :D. And maybe I'll post about some art projects I get up to in the future..

Helloo,
I cant believe it was the last day of school today! :D I'm really happy. So, what better way to celebrate than go shopping? I was kinda limited for money though... No change there I guess. But anyway, here's what I got;
These are some Matalan earrings. I got them for £1.25 because they were half price. They're pretty big and I have no idea what I'm gonna wear them with.. but hay ho, I'll find something.
This is my Rimmel London, Soft Kohl eye pencil. I only just got it, obviously, so I'm not sure if it fades yet. Honestly, I'm not really expecting it to be that good, cause it was only £3.99.. But it's brown and I really wanted a brown one, so I'm pretty pleased with that at the moment :) I might do a proper review when I've used it a bit more.
This would be my Rimmel London, Stay Matte concealer. In 010 ivory. Another bargain, this was only £4.99 - All the other concealers were like £7.99 ish - So I thought it was quite good. And apparently the green bit in the middle is to even out your skin tone? Something like that anyway. Again, I might do a review on this a bit later on :)
And finally, my new leggings. They cost £7 and they are full length. Again, I don't have much to wear them with, but I guess I could just wear them with a vest top and some pumps? I was pretty pleased I'd found them cause I really like the Aztec kind of patters on them, and then the random colours over the top!(There's red, blue and yellow) :)
So.. yeah. That's what I bought on the last day of school :)Thanks for reading,
Talk to you soon!

hey guys,
This is gonna be a short post for now cause I'm busy watching Dynamo! :D
I absolutely LOVE Dynamo, he's AMAZING, if you've never heard of him before then look him up on you tube. I just saw him pull a $50 note out of some guy's clothes, I mean come on. How is that possible?! :P
And I think most people will have heard of when he walked on water!? It was in the newspapers, and on the Internet..
"Dynamo magician impossible" is on next Thursday, but that's the last one of the series. Seriously, watch it!! :P
Bye for now, Sarah xx
Hi :)
So, I'm really sorry I haven't been able to do a post in a while. I've had end of term tests and general stuff! So this is my daily skin care routine..
In the morning, before school, I go to my bathroom and just do the usual sponge and warm water kind of washing. Just literally going over my face with warm water, easy peasy :P
Then I use this, I just put a little less that a pea on my hand and rub it in (especially when I have a bad spot ;P). But you have to pat your face dry before using it. It is really good, I had another freederm gel thing - but it was really small and I used it all up. Then I got this one because it was cheaper and bigger! I can't quite remember how much it was, but it was defiantly less that £5.
Then when I get home from school - if I'm staying home - i get a face wipe and take off my make up... I'll be honest though, I do forget quite often! That's just to clear my skin and try to prevent spots. I just have like a cheap Waitrose own brand one, I think. I never really notice a difference in face wipes so my dad just buys me the cheap ones.
Then at night, I do exactly as I did in the morning, but if my face feels dirty or particularly oily i will use this.
It's good, but I don't use it everyday because I have quite sensitive skin. Plus it takes quite a long time to use (you have to squirt some foam into your hands and then spread it over your face and wash it off). Its okay if you go to bed early and have time spare.. But I'm not very good when it comes to getting to bed early (still working on it!)
So that's pretty much it, my daily skin care routine! :) I hope you liked it. I do suggest you try some of this because I do get quite a lot of spots, and since I recently started doing this, most of them are gone :D
Byee, Sarah x
Hi :)
So, I've been listening to music LOADS over the past few days - even more that usual!! Therefore I shall be telling you who my favourite artists are.
My most favourite is probably Ben Howard. I only discovered him a few days ago, thanks to my friend Henry (what an amazing ginge!!). He does a lot of acoustic songs, which is good for me cause I love acoustic sounds. And I always find myself humming the the tunes of his songs a while after i was listening to them! check him out on you tube, i like; keep your head up, only love and old pine .. Love them :]
Another one of my favourites is Ed sheeran! I've been listening to him a lot longer, and i do love him. Again, his songs are very acoustic and his lyrics are so clever! I even have a favourite lyric: "I don't get waves of missing you anymore.. they're more like tsunami tides in my eyes..". I mostly listen to small bump, uni, a team and gold rush.
I also sort of like Carly Rae Jepsen.. Also acoustic. I guess i like her because her songs are quite happy and cheer me up when I'm in a bad mood. I don't really have any favourite songs though, just search her on you tube?
That's it, I think! Thanks for reading :)
Bye,
Sarah
Hi there,
So, I was thinking about a new post I could do, and decided id let you guys know about my new found love for henna :)
Just in case you don't know, Henna is like this past stuff made out of dry leaves and other natural things. You put it on your skin and stains it. Temporarily, of course. You can make it, or buy it, but the ones that I have bought were a lot weaker than the ones we used in school (we did it in creativity week) which were made the way people used to.
There's probably some tutorials on line of how to make henna, and the cones you put it on with. But, if you do want to try it then I suggest you make sure you aren't allergic, cause apparently the reactions can be really bad! Plus sometimes you wont be able to dye your hair after or it makes your hair fall out. I know that I'm not allergic because I've had them since i was little, and dyed my hair before, so I'm all good!
The one I got most recently was a wavy line with leaves and a flower on my hand and I really like it! I have some templates that iI got a while ago, but this one was designed by me and drawn on by my friend Chelsea.
So, yeah. I really do recommend getting a Henna tattoo! And that's all from me for now :)
Bye, Sarah x
Hello again,
Right well. I thought I'd really get this blog going by doing a review of all TheBodyShop products that I have. There's quite a few so I suggest you get comfy. So, here you go :P
This is probably my most favourite, I wear it everyday and this is actually an old case, my current one is 04.Its called Pressed Face Powder and I got it for £12.50. Some people might argue that its a bit much for press powder but I really do think its worth it. It hasn't given me spots and it makes my skin feel really soft. And I do suggest you buy this one and not the more expensive one with a little pad. Purely because I don't see the point in paying an extra £1.20. Or you could get one of the expensive ones and keep using the pad thingy (sorry I don't know the name). But you can just do whatever you fancy :)
My second item from TheBodyShop is called Super Volume Mascara and it costs £10 in the shop but I got it in a deal that was like; spend £40 or more and get some other stuff free, and this is one of the products I got free. I do wear it every day, but I don't think I would recommend it. It is very clumpy and I have to pull the big clumps out. After that it looks okay (which is why I wear it, I guess). Also it does terribly in water. I often go to waterpolo and find myself wiping under my eyes with my fingers so that I don't look like I've just been punched in the face... small exaggeration but you get my point, haha.
This is my Carbon Black Eye Definer, I don't think I would recommend this either actually. I wear it a lot, and i do like it because it's really easy to put on. However, after a day at school, it drops down and you get little lines under you eyes that you have to regularly rub off. Plus it fades a bit, other than that i like it though. Oh, and the smudger works quite well.
These were also from the deal where you get products free if you spend a certain amount of money (most of the money spent was on my mum by the way, i just got the free stuff). They're called Shimmer Cubes and i also got the little brush in the same deal. I don't wear these much because they are glittery so i would use it more for party's or something. But it is really good value for money, costing £16, it doesn't sound like it, but they are literally 4 big blocks of eye shadow and its really compact.
This is Delipscious and i can't remember how much i got it for but it is currently sealing for £2 in the sale, however, it looks like it doesn't sell it in the shade that i got. I like this product, despite the fact that i don't really wear it. I see nothing wrong with it, i just don't think that lipstick really suits 13 year old. As a lipstick it is quite good. The few times that i have actually worn it, i haven't found that it fades or feels sticky... Which is good i guess. I think i would recommend it to people older than me because it is actually good quality for a reasonably cheap lipstick.
This is my Sweet Lemon Lip Butter and i absolutely love it. It was a Christmas present to me, but it's selling for £4. I got it a couple of Christmas's ago and I haven't even gotten to the bottom yet! Plus it smells amazing and tastes almost as good. When i got it i didn't realise that it would make my lips so soft after i used it. That's why i use it mostly in the winter. I would defiantly recommend you buy this! :)
So that's everything i own from TheBodyShop. I hope you enjoyed listening, and maybe this helped you decide what to buy? I'd like to think it did anyway, see you soon!! :)
