New Years Resolutions!!!!

Hey Guys!!! 

Can you believe it? It is almost the end of 2015!!! Merlin's Beard...Wow. 

This year I've had plenty of ups and downs, but to be honest, I think next year will be better...I'm turning 21 next year!!!!!! 

On to actual New Years Resolutions, I'm quite happy to admit that I am terrible with them. However, this year, I gave it some thought and decided to write down 5 things I wanted to do next year and actually stick with it. Here goes....

1) Be more consistent with my blog and social media - This had to be one of my main Resolutions, as I'll admit, I've been slacking quite a bit on social media and with my blog. Next year, I am to be way more consistent with blog posts, and I'll be more active on social media. 

2) Redesign my blog - My second resolution has to be to completely redesign my blog. To be honest, I'm not liking the current layout and theme of my blog. I think in the new year, I want to go down the minimalist, modern route and have a monochrome theme...I'll have a think about it. 

3 and 4)Eat Healthier and Lose weight -  I have this resolution pretty much every year, and every year, I ALWAYS FREAKIN' BREAK IT!!! DARN MY ADDICTION TO CHOCOLATE -.-

This year I am to actually keep going with this resolution and not bail after a month or something. I might document how I do with this one, like I did ith my university series. If you want to see this please let me know in the comments section below. 

5) Experiment more with fashion and beauty - Next year, I want to step out of my comfort zone a bit when it comes to fashion and beauty. I am the type of person who pretty much sticks with what I'm comfortable with when it comes to fashion and beauty. Next year I do want to experiment and really find my style in 2016. I'm hoping to experiment with makeup and skincare, try new products and brands and see where it goes. 

Thats it for this post. Please be sure to follow me on social media. Thankyou for 1.3k followers on twitter by the way!!!! 

What are your New Years Resolutions?

My Christmas Weekend!!!

Well Hello Lovely People!!!
I hope you all had an amazing christmas! I certainly did!
This post has been planned for a while, but I've had to delay uploading it because of starting my work placement on Monday.
This post will be documenting my christmas weekend, from Christmas eve until the 27th, as I had a very fun christmas and I wanted to share it with you.

Christmas Eve - Mum and I had a chilled out evening, with a buffet for two and a few episodes of Pretty Little Liars. We are still on season 5, and watched 5x13 and 5x14. We are really enjoying it, and cannot wait to finish the season. We also listened to some christmas songs whilst wrapping up presents for family.

Christmas Day - Mum and I woke up around 8am, made a cup of tea, and began opening presents. We also discovered that we are very in sync with each other, in terms of what we bought each other for christmas. We both got each other DVDs, clothes, jewellery, candles and chocolate etc. The rest of the day was spent over at my Aunt and Uncle's house with my two cousins. My aunt had done an amazing dinner. Starters were Pate for me and Prawn cocktail for everyone else. Then my other Aunt and Uncle popped round for a little bit before our main meal, with our cousin/nephew. It was lovely to see them. After they left, we had a lovely roast turkey dinner, then had a game of Cranium. Personally, Cranium is my favourite game to play at christmas because everyone has a laugh. My cousin and I won which I was very pleased about. After cranium, it was time for dessert. I had a classic Mince Pie, whilst other options were trifle and Chocolate Bomb. Mum and I left around 7, and went home to watch a bit of Joe and Caspar Hit The Road, before going to bed.

Boxing Day - Boxing Day was a really chilled out day for Mum and I, we spent the day at home just chilling and also popped into town and had a look at the sales that were going on. I picked up two things from Superdrug - A Studio London Brow Kit and a Sleek Makeup Party Box, both of which I will do a review on my blog in the new year. I also picked up a copy of Tyler Oakley's book, Binge. I've started reading it and I think its so good and definitely worth a read. For the rest of the day, we just spent watching DVDs, and reading.

Sunday 27th December - This day was one of the most fun family days. Mum, My aunt, uncle, cousins and I took a trip up to Leeds to visit My Aunt, Uncle and Baby Cousin who live up there. Said Baby Cousin is now 9 months old. We spent the time having a buffet that my Aunt and Uncle had prepared, as well as getting lots of cuddles and photos with the little one. We also went on a little walk around the village/countryside where they live. It was honestly a really lovely day. We got home around 7pm and had a chill out evening watching another episode of Pretty Little Liars.


That's it for this post. I can't believe it is the last day of 2015 tomorrow. That being said, I will be uploading TWO posts, My New Years Eve Playlist and My New Years Resolutions.
Also, I do have a new instagram account, as I got locked out of my other account. Please go and follow me @MissKLxoxo , also on twitter @MissKLxoxo , Bloglovin - KatieLauren10 , and We heart It - @MissKatieLaurenxoxo

Christmas Shopping, Works meal, and Top Tracks of the month!!

Hey Guys!!!!

How are you all doing?? Are you all ready for Christmas???

BREAKING NEWS PEOPLE IT IS TWO DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS, I REPEAT IT IS TWO DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!! MERLIN!!!!

Yesterday I went Christmas Shopping with my Dad to Manchester, which was really nice as I haven't seen him in a while. I picked out a few things for myself, and for my mum, as well as helping dad pick out something for his Fiancee (is that how you spell it? IDK)

Also last week I had my work's christmas meal and managers leaving do, with all the volunteers at Sue Ryder Care in Northwich. We had such a lovely meal, and there was a lot of laughs. I think I gained abs from laughing so hard. 

I also wanted to do a quick top tracks of the month, as I am focusing my blog posts around new year's eve next week. So here are the songs I have been loving this month. 

1) Over and Over again - Nathan Sykes - Holy Merlin's beard!!!! This song is absolutely stunning. Nathan has such an incredible voice, and I think its his time as a solo artists to show what he can do. This song just proves how good of a singer he really is. 

2) Hands of Time - Rachel Diggs - As you all know, I have become obsessed with Pretty Little Liars, and I was having a look through some of the season soundtracks and came across this song. It's so catchy and dark, but a really good song. If you are a PLL fan, I suggest you take a look at the soundtracks for the different seasons as there are some really good songs. 

3) What do you mean? - Justin Bieber - I never thought I would say this again but, I have actually turned back into a fan of the Biebs. He's been bringing out some awesome songs from his latest album, Purpose. This one is my favourite, by far. It's catchy, upbeat and overall a really good song. 

4) Confident - Demi Lovato - My final pick is this song by the stunning Demi Lovato. This song is insane!!! Her voice is just incredible. I think the video for this is really cool, and a real feel good song. 

That's it from me until next week guys. I hope you all have a lovely, lovely christmas. 

What songs have you been loving this month? Have you listened to any of my picks?

Christmas Update!!

Hey Guys!!

So I'm back with another Blog Post. Today's post is my christmas update. This will only be a quick post as I am off to Knutsford to reunite and catch up with one of my best friends. 

In regards to christmas, I'll be very honest. I haven't even put the christmas tree and decorations up yet :O My flat looks very un-festive at the moment, but I am putting up the tree and decorations with my mother dearest. 

Present wise, Most of my family members are done, we have a few to finish off. I still have to buy some presents for my mum, but I'm doing that on Tuesday, as I'm going to Manchester with Dad. 

Christmas Shopping is one of my favourite things ever, I love being able to walk around and see all the festive-ness in the shops and outside. I think my favourite place for christmas Shopping is Manchester, just because it looks so festive and you have the Iconic Manchester Christmas Markets which are pretty awesome. 

As for this weekends plans, Today (Saturday) I am taking a trip to my hometown and meeting up with one of my best friends who I haven't seen in about 4 years. The two of us have been friends for around 14-15 years, our mums are good friends as well. I think its lovely to have friends who you can go for ages without seeing each other or speaking to each other, but when you get together, the atmosphere is still the same. You can still have a laugh, banter, and you know that person will always be there if you need a friend. 

On Sunday, I am FINALLY putting the christmas tree and decoration up in the flat, as well as dying my hair. Because its the festive season I'm going a black cherry red colour, basically topping up the colour I am at this current moment. 

That's it for this quick blog post. I hope you guys have a lovely weekend, I will be back on monday with another blog post. I'm hoping I can post a blog post everyday between now and christmas.

My Plans For Christmas 2015!!!

Hey Lovely People!!!!

Again, I would just like to apologise for the lack of posts that have been on the blog this month, I haven't prioritised my blog as much as I should have. (Thats one of my new years resolutions). 

However, the exciting news is that it is exactly ONE week today until christmas!!!! How exciting is that? 

With it being a week today until christmas, I decided to share with you my plans for the festive weekend. There will be a post on the 28th documenting the whole weekend but here are my plans for next weekend's festivities. 

On Christmas Eve, my mum and I are going to have a little party for two, including a little buffet, wrapping last minute presents for everyone so we don't have a repeat of last year and have a mad wrapping party on christmas morning. We'll play a little bit of music, and then once all the wrapping is done, we'll settle down in our PJ's and watch a couple of episodes of Pretty Little Liars Season 5. (We know we are behind, we are slowly catching up with it :P) 

On Christmas Day, Mother Dearest and I will give each other our presents, then have a lovely breakfast, and relax for an hour before getting ready to go to my Aunt's for Christmas Dinner and to see everyone. I can't wait to just spend time with all the Family. 

On Boxing Day, Mum and I won't do much. We'll probably just relax a bit and maybe have a walk around town  and check out the sales. Then we will probably either watch PLL, or any other DVDs that we decide to watch. 

Finally, on the 27th December, I am going to my mum's friends party. It should be a good night. 

That is it for this blog post. Keep an eye out tomorrow for my Christmas update regarding presents and shopping and all that, as well as my top 5 christmas songs. 

What are your plans for the festive weekend that's coming up?

I really hope you all have a fantastic christmas and New Year, Thank you for sticking with me and the blog, this year. Next year will be Amazing!

Top Tracks of the month: November Edition

Hello Lovely People!!!

A few things before I get started with this post, first, I know we are two days into December and this post should have gone up a few days ago but I  have been ill and volunteering. Second, I know there haven't been as many posts up on the blog in November and that is because I've had an Eye Infection over the last week to two weeks, I will make up for it in December. 

Onto this post, I have been loving three songs this month, I have been playing them non stop, so here is what they are...

1) Lucy Hale feat. Rascal Flatts - Let it go - I have been absolutely loving this version of the song Let it Go from the Disney Movie, Frozen. Lucy Hale, best known for playing Aria Montgomery in Pretty Little Liars, has an amazing voice. She teamed up with Rascal Flatts to make a country version of this song for the We Love Disney 2015 album. The album features lots of different artists from Tori Kelly to Ne-yo, Jessie J to Ariana Grande performing Disney Hits. If you are a disney fan, this is a good one for your christmas list, as is Lucy Hale's album, Road Between, which is also pretty amazing.

2) 5 Seconds of Summer - Jet Black Heart -  I always feature a 5sos song in my monthly music posts, and this month's is no different. The boys recently announced that their new single would be Jet Black Heart from their latest album, Sounds Good Feels Good. I am literally in love with this song, it's one of my joint favourites on the album along with Permanent Vacation. Can I just point out, Michael Clifford's voice is just incredible in this song, *Le Fangirls* He sounds like an angel! If you haven't heard this then I suggest that you do ASAP!!!!!

3) Hey Violet - Can't Take Back The Bullet - I fast became a fan of these guys when I heard This is Why. They are an amazing band. This song in particular is so rocky and amazing. Its my favourite song of theirs. The chorus is really catchy too.

That's all for this post guys. Do you like any of the songs I've featured in this months picks? What have you been listening to this month? Let me know either in the comments below or on twitter @MissKLxoxo.
