COLLEGE!!

Okay, I know I have recented blogging for ages! I feel guilty though I have been unbelievably busy. During end of August, my parents have been away which leaves me having to take their roles and look after my cousins, soon my friend came over and stayed for as long as possible. Then COLLEGE! I cannot begin to express my feelings towards college. I'm not use to this routine and some subjects are battling me, I'm considering if I should continue some subjects though I have only just begun.

If any one is interested to know I'm taking Law, Politics, Business Studies, IT BTEC and Law research. Three of the subjects are A levels and IT is a subs BTEC because it's all coursework base. I'm not too sure about Politics, I'd love to continue taking this subject however my knowledge of Poltics is minimal, we had a huge class discussion and I had no idea what they were talking about. However I know some other class mates are struggling too. What should I do?

I have been looking online for a AS Politics tutors however it is difficult to find a tutor that is situated in my area or the price is too high?

If anyone reads my blog, can anyone appoint me to anything: Where to find a tutor perhaps? What should I consider or EDUCATE me in POLITICS! please?!

Sorry but thank you, I had to rant to someone. I'm going to keep looking for a tutor....

Want Longer, Thicker, Healthier Eyelashes? yes please!

Right, lets begin with the history of my eyelashes.
- Short stubborn Asian lashes (1cm long)
- Light
- Thin
- Straight 

Basically, it's invisible eyelashes. (haha) that's how I'd describe it. Of course I want long luscious and voluminous eyelashes. So, again I went online and did my homework and researched products that would make my eyelash grow in a decent price. I stumbled across "Mavala Eye-Lite Double Lash Night Treatment" it costs £10.50 (not too bad, compared to RapidLash). I'm so eager and excited for the results.

Lets try this experiment together and I'll do a review of the product (Hopefully)
 
The packaging, love squeezing the little white foam things. haha :L

Free sample product
The product itself.
The wand/applicator

My invisible eyelashes (haha well, my camera isn't that great but you can see my eyelashes if you actually stood that close to me)

Another view of my short eyelashes. Trust me it looks better in real life. However you can see how thin and short they are.

Okay, So from today I'll use this product. It's 00:15am right now, so lets say its Thursday 24th August night. A month later, I should see my final results! The product includes a list of instructions in various languages, I understand that I have to apply at night on clean lashes. Leave on all night; do this step for approximately 30 days to see best results. 

I'm extremely eager to have longer lashes, if you have tried out this product before, please leave a comment below so I am read it and see your results :D
Also if I see any major changes in my eyelashes you'd be the first to know!

I thought I should let you know, I bought this product of Amazon.co.uk for £10.50 in total, I have no idea where you can purchase this product in stores however Amazon was absolutely magnificent for me. I think the price I paid is reasonable so take a browse.

Good  Night for now and I'll talk to you all later. :D

Home Made 'Nandos' Piri Piri Chicken, mmmmm!

So, it was my turn to cook dinner for everyone and I've decided to make Piri Piri Chicken, which is extremely easy and taste delicious. I got this recipe of SORTED; they have an online website and a youtube account where they teach you how to cook the chicken. It's very simple and they give great instructions.

SORTED PIRI PIRI CHICKEN COOKERY VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i80g8oNdo00&feature=BFa&list=FLz5Amh9X1sxt6EosvSINEMw&index=7

INGREDIENTS:  
4 big cloves of garlic
olive oil (160ml)
red wine vinegar (60ml)
1 lemon, juiced
2 fresh chillies (more to less to taste)
tsp sea salt
sprig of thyme
1 small chicken (to cut for spatchcock)
handful of mixed salad leaves
chunky chips

INSTRUCTIONS:
peel the garlic cloves and stick into a food blender with the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, thyme, chillies and salt.
blend to a smooth marinade.
cut either side of the backbone with a pair of sharp shears and then remove the diamond-shaped breast bone from inside the cavity.
open the chicken up like a book and rub the marinade all over, inside and out. Leave in the fridge overnight if you can.
preheat oven to 180°C.
lay the spatchcock chicken on a baking tray and roast for about an hour until cooked right through and there are no signs of blood at the thickest parts of the bird. Check by cutting into a leg joint.
serve with plenty of fresh salad and some chunky chips.

Serves 2-4

The Process

Smelt so yummy!

Boiling New Potatos
 I left my Medium size chicken in the oven for 55 mintues instead. I took the chicken out once the 50 mintues has went by, I cut the chicken to the desired pieces then put it back in the oven for an extra 5 minutes to ensure it's well done.

Which gave us this results!

I altered the recipe a little... it's coleslaw and ready made crispy salad with cheese on top.
I didn't think the chicken had as much flavour as I thought it would but it taste pretty good; I will definitely cook this again and experiment with the flavours next time.

This is apparently called 'King Prawn Croquette with Salad Cream' mmmmmm... It's basically crispy battered prawns with salad cream on the side. *Still dribbling*
(There was 8 orignally, I know there is 7 on the picture. I ate 5 of them hehe sssshhhh!)
In a warm sunny Sunday, we decided to have a little shopping spree! Which means hurting my purse... oh well, it's worth it. Decided to buy:


Always wanted to watch this, ngl Zac Efron had a huge role in my purchase



Yes, that's right! James Blunt. Love his music, been jamming to his music all day since I've got home. There's actually a little story behind the front cover of James Blunt' album, see if you can find out!  
Last but not least, an OOTD! (Excuse me for wearing the same Aztec vest, I love it too much)



Washed out denim jegging, it's my favourite. So comfortable!

Excuse the bag of rubbish, oh yes... I've also bought new curtains that's the reason for the bag of rubbish.

Love the cone shaped earring. <3

All items are still in store, some are quite recent.

Top to Bottom:

Aztec vest - Forever 21
Leather buckle straps cardigan - New Look
Jeggings - H&M
Earrings - Forever 21
Nail Polish - Barry M


Also wore a messenger brown leather bag (H&M) . It's simple and comfortable! If you haven't already, visit Forever 21 in London Oxford Street, it's amazing! I love the clothing also it's not quite popular (yet) so not many people will recognise the statement pieces! :D


So today was a chilled Sunday, finished the day with the movie and jamming to James Blunt with a headache :( but anyways, I'm going to hit the hay now, sweet dreams oxox

Book worm? anyone? Book Haul -

Yes it is a train ticket card if anyone is asking,
it's because cool kids use them as bookmarks.
Absolutely adoring blogging at the moment, it's like getting a new toy as a kid and constantly playing with it until you get bored. Well, blogging is like that at the moment, hopefully I wouldn't get bored of it.
So... they main reason of this is to talk about BOOKS!
Right, so at the moment I'm reading 'The Time Traveler's Wife' Adored the movie and now I'm obsessed over the book, been reading a few chapters every week. If you haven't seen the movie, you certainly have to! I'm telling you, not reccomending you. You might need a box of tissues or I'm just a total softy who tears up on absolutely anything! haha
I'm half way through the book already, I'm currently on chapter 'II A Drop of Blood In a Bowl Of Milk' Exciting!

I'm not going to lie, covers on books has total purchasing affect on me,  愛 (love) the cover of this book! Though I bought this because of the movie. <3 (When people say 'Don't judge a book by it's cover', ooopps! I kinda do, LITERALLY)






www.amazon.co.uk is a pocket/purse/wallet (wherever you put your money haha) saver! They have a lot of books in stock in a reasonable cheaper price than retail. So I reccomend you to buy your books here. :) It's atleast £2-£3 cheaper. BARGAIN huh! Also I have to compliment their delivery service, fast, free and neatly packaged. OR you can purchase cheap books in charity shops, this is a great alternative option if you don't mind having a used book and it's for a good cause.

My recent purchase, can't wait to begin reading them all...

 Well, I've read Berserk by Ally Kennen . The top one is Sarah Winman - When God was a Rabbit.


Read a chapter of  'the five people you meet in heaven - Mitch Albom' so far so good. 

Can anyone give me a review of the books above? For some reason I want to read some crimes/ man slaughter books, just because I read a lot of 'lovey dovey' books and I want someting different and thrilling. Search for book reviews online if you don't want to buy books that you won't be interested in. I'll do a book review post of 'The Time Traveler's Wife' (hopefully, if I remember). Oh and would anyone like to read along with me? that sounds interesting, an online reading club. haha

OMBRE HAIR



So, I have personally done some online research for weeks before I began the process. I searched on youtube for youtube gurus and I found a video talk through video by ThePersianBabe, she was so helpful and directed me to do it correctly. I also view 'LLYMLRS' blog, her blog is so addictive to read and she has a youtube account where she runs through all the ombre hair details.
I was inspired by Shenae Grimes, you may know her as Annie Wilson in the successful 90210 remake. Her hair is lush!

There are many many celebrities who have ombre hair, it's quite popular! Tempting enough by looking at all the photos, I took the chance and went out to Boots to purchase 'L'oreal PARIS Perfect Blonde Creme Highlight kit'


I done it the next following day of the purchase, this worked beautifully as it's a bleach however I didn't take all the advice given and I've left it on for longer than I personally wanted. It created a copper brown colour on my hair, I left it on for 20 minutes at first, it was suppose to be a dark brown however it turned into a copper brown. You really have to judge your own timing and constantly check. The procedure is easy however you do need to know for definite how long you should leave it on for. Visit youtube for videos explaining the process for best results.



Incase you are curious how mine turn out.
I'm definitely going to re-dye it and see if I get better results that I prefer. Best of luck to all the people who does it themselves and read the instructions!
