4 Simple Skins Secrets





1. Washing your face daily is essential for great skin. I often try to wash mine in the morning and evening using the Simple products that my sister got me. 

- Firstly, I apply the Spotless skin triple action face wash - because it's a cream, you can apply it directly onto your skin or onto cotton wool and then gently it rub your face until you feel slightly awake.
- Secondly, I apply the Purifying cleansing lotion and as I did with the face wash; I gently rub it in my face until I feel as it I have applied it everywhere.
- Last is the Soothing facial toner, which I suggest it better if put onto cotton wool as its a liquid and that's my morning facial wash that I repeat before going to bed.

2. Healthy eating or a balanced diet. Technically I've been struggling with this for a while but I'm getting there. I've realized that if you want the skin and the body that you want... a lot depends on what you eat. You have to include at least all the food groups every day and maybe snack on some unhealthy treats as a reward.

3. Exercise is a MUST! Daily exercise is vital for good skin and good health as well because it helps release the unwanted off our body. It's not a MUST though doing exercise every day but 3 times a day for 30 mins would be lovely. If you're not good with exercise, you could try Yoga or Meditating as they help cleanse your body, soul, and mind free of negativity.

4. I think that this last secret is one that we all thoroughly enjoy... S L E E P! We are excepted to be getting a maximum of 8 hours a night to have a great day because no one likes a grouchy sleep deprived teenager. We all know that we can be nightmares without our beauty sleep, so therefore, I tell you that if you want your naturally smooth, great looking skin; try sleeping for 8 hours and see how much of a difference it will make. I promise.

Controversy The Controversial


I forgot to post this, but seeing as I had already written it, I might as well give it to you... I wanted to write about something that I'm rather passionate about and a topic that often raises a lot of eyebrows. So after contemplating about who to bring into this conversation, I thought why not do on the boy that everyone underestimated, the girl that was once Disney's angel and the artist that thinks he's the most original, creative and controversial artist of our generation.


Justin Bieber mugshot was taken on 23 January 2014
Just a few days ago, Justin Bieber was arrested on the account of driving under the influence of alcohol and fast driving in a 30 mph zone. Unfortunately, for him being the huge star that he is; it was obvious that his arrest would soon be broadcast worldwide and his parents would be questioned about their parenting styles as well questioning whether fame has gone to the Biebs' head.

Within a matter of time, the media had televised Bieber's court session, realized his mugshots (which I thought were seriously hot!). It began asking idiotic questions such as "Are you still a Belieber?". However, I think that they jealously plan backfired on them as within minutes Justin's 48 million Beliebers had already trended #WeWillAlwaysSupportYouJustin. Though I still pose a question to the media, firstly what is it about Justin make you just want to embarrass him? Is the fact that he has several devoted fans? Or because he's loaded and you aren't? Well, whilst you chew on that, I'd like to say screw you or even maybe fuck you to all the posers that are forever trying to bring down someone who's worked so hard for something that they truly deserve only for you to rip him down like a bunch of hungry cannibals. I get that it's partly Bieber's fault, I mean he does have an example to set to his fan but it's always our fault because we made into the person he is now. The blame doesn't only fall, one person, it's a two-way street. Forever on your side, Biebs.  

Most trended tweet from on of the Beliebers: "Congrats! You've created a celebrity, but you have wrecked the human being inside. #WeWillAlwaysSupportYouJustin - DatKidrauhlCrew

"No matter how talented you are, not everybody is going to like, but that's life, just stay strong." Justin Bieber

Facing the cut: But the scenes were edited out by MTV when the show aired in the US

You've gotta love, Miley! You've got to. After defying the Disney image to go and find herself, people have labeled her as so many awful things that I personally think that she doesn't deserve.

It's was blatantly obvious that Miley was going to evolve from Disney, and it may not have been in the way that we wanted her to but that is not our decision. She's determined to put her name down in history, so shall we look at Miley's top 10 shocking moments according to Metro? I think we shall.

  1. Drugs Scandal - From what I can remember Miley has been smoking for ages, so why do you think that her smoking cigarettes are "suspicious"? She's growing up and experimenting, we all do that! Nevertheless, did that give her the power to smoke on stage during the MTV Europe Music Awards? I didn't mind, though I know some of you did and this is what she had to say "I knew the whole place would go super wild" and boy, it did.

I'm Not The Only One


Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One

So if you haven't heard this song, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR LIFE??? It's been a while since I reviewed a song but that's because I hadn't heard any GOOD songs during that period and now I have this song that I can't stop listening to because it's too good as it's so true and real.

The music video features Glee's very own Dianna Argon and The Mindy Project's Chris Messina and it's simply beautiful, I tell you guys... They portray a husband and wife where Argon is a belittle bride who's finding out about her husbands' transgressions and the plot unfolds in a simplicity but captivating way.

I feel as if Sam Smith is definitely something else to all other artists that have been around because writing a song in a woman's perspective as a man must have been a challenge but he succeed. He did a terrific job!

This is why I'm recommending that you go purchase his debut album In The Lonely Hour on iTunes and listen to all the tracks because I'm sure that there's a song for every one of you. I guarantee you that!

GCSE Results 2014



Now if you live in Britain and are aged 15 or 16, I'm sure most of you received your GCSE results back yesterday. I want to say "WELL DONE to the CLASS OF 2014". We are finally done with secondary school and now are off to an even more excruciating task... SIXTH FORM for the next two years. 


Here are my results: 


English Lit & Lang - A
Maths, History, Music, RE & Citizenship - B
PE, French & Science - C
Additional Science - D


Tbh I think that I could've achieved way better than things though I'm rather proud of myself and the way I see it; these results DON'T determine the rest of my life. They are just a bunch of letters scribbled on a piece of paper to tell us, teenagers, what we think we are capable of and make teachers think that "she/he should've listened to me when I told her to do those extra assignments!" Nevertheless, I do give us credit because we kicked some bull with those exams! 



It's funny and a serious piss take that the media has the right to assume that 'this was going to be the worst year results'... like who the heck are you to degrade us just because you're constantly struck down by your superiors or by the nation. You HAD NO RIGHT to preach to our parents, teachers, and us about how we should 'prepare for the worst results' because honestly, you're a bunch of arrogant, truculent, bothersome adults. Frankly, I apologize for being so cold but you started it, I mean you always do the minute that you downsize us and think that we are incapable of being great. 



As for teenagers of Britain, that got their results yesterday... CONGRATULATIONS!! Of course, it was a horrid but maybe exciting journey but we got there in the end. Now let's focus on the next two years and do the possible best that we can again because I believe that we are so capable. We might just become the generation that changes the world. 



Why? Why do I believe that? Simple... I'm apart of the 21st generation which by the way had the best shows in the 90s (cheers to that!) and I REFUSE TO BELIVE THAT THIS IS A LOST GENERATION.

Tragic







Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I've had so much to do and so much to deal with 
Though I'm back now and apologizes as the next few posts will be filled with sadness and farewell to 
Robin Williams - a legend in the film industry 
Mike Brown - a fellow brother of ours who was robbed of his life by the police which shows that there will never be equality if we don't respect each other
Starting from tomorrow onwards, I'll try to post regularly about what I've been up to and what I hope for in the next 4 years hopefully
 I'll also share a few snippets from journal which I'm starting today because I believe that you have truly listened to my constant rambling and I wish for nothing more

100 Years Remembering WW1




The soldier doesn't divert from his teachings, he sticks with them until the job is finished
 If he, the soldier should die, think only pleasantly of him for as he now lies in a foreign land
He dies with the sound of stuttering rifles though with the picture of England in his mind
He didn't die where the flowers were filled with blood; he passed where the poppies grew with the blood of the fallen soldiers
The prayers, contempt and angelic voices of the choirs won't save them 
Rather the flowers that shielded them whilst they lay asleep
 I'm sorry that we can't shake their hands to thank them for saving us;
Most were still boys when they left and signed and for a man's job
The perishing darkness that once closed in on us has fled
We no longer knew who's rich nor poor as we were once all dressed in the same rags
We all once starved to the same degree that we wished for death to come take us away
 Open the blinds and glance on the streets where the plaques of the once forgotten now lie 
To teach the future generations of the selfless and dauntless men that sacrificed themselves to save us, mere strangers and loved ones
Not knowing what was ahead of them or whether they'd return; no hesitation was heard
Though we know that the soldier left us thinking of his heavens whether it be France, England, America or the rest of the allies
The soldier had once experienced laughter, love of friends and family and gentleness
Now he could experience them forever whilst he lies resting peacefully
We can never know what happened to our dear soldier on the battlefield but we do know that he fought heroically and died thinking of the where the poppies blossomed in his true heaven.
