Little Geordie Lass

So it is the 30th December, the 2nd last day of the year. I was gonna do this post tomorrow but I am at work then seeing in the new year with my friends. I will be doing a 2014 review in the new year but I saw this trend on twitter so I thought I would do this...

Now I'm not normally one to fall for make up hypes or spend alot of money on high end brands but this is one I couldn't resist.                   When it comes to make up I always go for drug store make up brands and have used them for years. because of the way I brought up I feel that if you can find a product of the same quality as an expensive one at a lower price, go for that one. I've never indulged in luxury make up products as I don't have the best skin and I don't always have the time to make a real effort with my makeup. But as I've gotten older I have been getting slightly addicted to watching beauty bloggers on YouTube and being so jealous of how flawess their skin and their makeup is because they use expensive products. So because of this and my high Christmas pay I decided to treat myself to my first ever MAC product.

So I have just recently turned 19 and I couldn't believe it when my fantastic boyfriend told me that he would be taking me to London for a night as my present! For the past few months since finishing university I have been envious of all my friends having the chance to travel and explore the world, even just going on a summer holiday. I had already spent my money on a Spring holiday to Lanzarote so I couldn't afford another holiday or even get the time off work for a week away which was really frustrating making me feel very isolated at home. So I was obviously over the moon when my Jack told me we were going, he had obviously listened to my moaning! But to make it better, we would be staying in a studio apartment in Hyde Park and traveling there and back on the train first class!

So today has been a busy day for young people all across the country. My Facebook timeline has been filled with my friend's statuses letting everyone know about their A Level results and what uni they got into. This time last year I was in their shoes and it really doesn't feel like 2 minutes since I logged into UCAS at silly o'clock in the morning, after a sleepless night feeling sick, and finding out that I got into my firm choice uni. And then going into my sixth form and finding out how my friends did and finishing off in Wetherspoons to celebrate where we were drinking at 10:30am (well I was having pancakes because the breakfast menu was on and I was still 17 and couldn't get served). But my first year of university has been and gone so fast and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better year. Sure there were some lows but they were mainly highs so I've decided to share my top tips on how to survive first year of university!

I've woken up this morning after my first night out on the town since university, it was eventful to say the least. But there's always that one thing that you worry about the day after,  the hangover. So today I've woken up and I feel absoloutley fine, however I'm not one of those people who likes to suffer and feel sorry for themselves when they're hungover as I hate feeling. But normally if I am feeling hungover I have some handy little tips which help me fight the hangover.
