Weekend Wakeup Call!

Hello my loves! 

I hope you had a great weekend and caught up on lots of much deserved sleep! I know I did! I had probably the laziest weekend ever but I also went to see the new movie World War Z and loved it! - Go check it out if you love suspenseful flicks and a bit of horror! 

So at school at the moment I have been so busy! From internals to assessment my mind has been completely fixated on my work! But all this hard work has really made me think about my future and why I'm pursuing my education. 

I have really big dreams for myself. I want to earn a good salary, travel the world, write a lot and become successful. Those are just a few of the goals I set for myself. I want to life my life to the fullest and I know that in order to do this I need to create the best possible grades and achievement level for myself. 

I have decided, because of this, that I am going to keep away from relationships with boys - sigh! Because I feel that this could really cause a hiccup in my path and I don't want to make it any harder than its already going to be. So to save myself heartbreak for a few more years and In order to keep myself grounded and positive this is what I have told myself I must do. I have the greatest friends and family in the whole entire world so I am extremely blessed and I don't need a man in my life! -Mhmmm that's right sister! 

I hope you understand where I'm coming from, and maybe you agree with me too! But promise me one thing, aim high! Set yourself goals and create a standard you want to meet and your life will be one well lived! Trust me on that. Success is key my friends! 

So there's just a little bit of Sunday night inspiration for ya right there, I hope you have an amazing week and make sure to keep those smiles and laughs coming! A smiley person is a happy person after all! Eat well, and look after yourself! 

Until next time,
Love always

Happiness is key!

Hello my lovely readers! 

Sorry for not posting in awhile, I've been having some very annoying Internet problems which have been rather infuriating to put it softly! - ugh! 

I hope you are having a fabulous day wherever you are in the world and whatever you're doing! Because you deserve to be happy and this is exactly what I'm going to talk to you about today! Happiness.

Happiness is one of the greatest and most important things in life, we need to be happy to lead a good life. It isn't always easy to find and create but once you have it you will treasure it. I know it sounds cheesy to you and yes I admit it does a little to me too; but you honestly deserve happiness. 

Happiness can be found in many ways in life whether it be from people who surround and influence you to succeeding in something you love. No matter what it may be, if something makes you happy you must continue to let it into your life regardless of how it effects anyone else- to an extent as long as it isn't negatively effecting anyone! 

So it doesn't matter if basketball is your favourite sport or if you love that band that everyone makes fun of, if you love it you embrace it! This is your life and you get to decide how you want to live it! Don't take anything of what other people tell you to do! Put yourself first in this scenario! 

I hope this helped to give you a mid-week boost! And if it bought even a fraction of a smile to your face then there's something I can say I've accomplished! 

Currently I am battling a horrible cold which sucks! But hey, the joys of the winter season right! Gotta love it. Ill live! 

Keep on smiling sweetpeas,
Talk to you soon! 
Love alway
Courtney

Busy busy busy...

Hello lovelies,

I hope your all having a lovely week! Today I decided to complete two blog posts so you'll be either happy to know ( or not care at all! ) that I just posted a beauty review a couple of hours ago so go check that out if you would like! :-)

So this is probably my busiest week of the year so far, at school. I have internals/assessments every single day for this week and several days for next week. I don't know if you'll agree with me on this, but I must say I kind of enjoy been this busy. I'm so used to having boring school weeks where we hardly do anything meaningful and worth while you know? So It makes me feel like I'm actually doing what I'm supposed to be at school for when I'm working hard and busy at school. I know to some of you that sounds like complete crazy talk! - judge me.

But seriously though I'm so busy!! To too everything off I have a dance assessment too! Me and two other peers had to create a sequence of choreography each over a number of weeks and the day after tomorrow we have to preform it to perfection in front of the class, so to oh it softly, I'm stressed! But it will be good and I can do it!! POSITIVE. 

I hope your not all having busy weeks, I honestly hope your having relaxing weeks full of spare time and friends and coffee breaks! Ah the life.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week and a fantastic weekend! Go out and do something fun and spontaneous! You won't regret it! 

Keep smiling! 
Love always,
Courtney

Barry M Liquid Felt-Tip Eyeliner Review

Hello all you lovely people out there,

Today I'm going to be doing a review on the Barry M Liquid Felt-Tip Eyeliner. I picked up this eyeliner in Topshop in London when I was over there earlier this year. I'll start off by saying I am really pleased with this product!

The packaging is really simple but effective and it's very secure and practical. The eyeliner itself is really really easy to use! I haven't had a lot of experience with liquid eyeliner so that just goes to show you it's good for beginners, if your just starting out with liquid eyeliner. The applicator on this eyeliner is really simple and easy to apply with and since it's a felt tip you have the choice of applying it thinly or thicker. Overall this is a great product and a cheap buy too! It costs NZD $9.74 ( UK $4.59 )

I will list below some websites where this product is available:

Hope you guys enjoyed this review! Definitely if you can, get your hands on this product it's totally worth it!
Hope you all have a lovely week (POSITIVE THOUGHT: It's Wednesday we're halfway!!!)
Keep on smiling!
Love always,

Courtney

The truth about life.

Hello there all you blog addicts, 

So today I thought I would write abit about something I think of as important in the life of humans no matter what you think, your opinion is not relevant right now so clear the clutter of your mind and listen to what I have to say. 

Shopping, retail therapy. Call it what you want there's no denying it makes people happy and it sure does make you feel good too. The mere action of buying that new dress or those new shoes can really change your mood for the better. This to me is a crucial activity in life. Now I don't mean get your credit card out and go on a whatever-you-want shopping spree because ofcourse you should do it in variation! 

Just treat yourself now and again and you'll feel good about it without talking a huge chunk out of your account balance, sorted! Little luxuries like this are what makes life that little bit better, get out there and make yourself happy! That's what I say. Learn to treat yourself a little, you probably work your ass off and you probably are underpaid for what you do so you deserve to have a little splurge! 

That's all I've got to say for now!
I hope your all having a fabulous queens birthday weekend, I know I am! My dad actually took me out shopping today- how cliche! It was great, I love me some father-daughter time!

Love always,
Courtney
