Boyfriend talk.

22:14

I can honestly say I had always said I would never talk about my boyfriend on something like this, fearing that I would jinx something and it suddenly wouldn't work out. But, I'm positive that won't happen. So this little, very late, post is about that little somebody.

I shall give you some background on him. His name is Mike, that's pretty much all I'll mention (no crazies please), and we met online. People talk about 'meeting online' and most say it's really scary and not a good idea. Then some, on the other hand, find it's the best way to meet someone. I was bored, and I was tired of people around me finding someone, and I was scared that I wasn't going to find someone at all. So I googled some online dating sites, and spoke to a few friends in person and got a feel for what was a good website to use, and told a few people so they knew what was happening if anything serious happened to me.
Anyways, I dated someone for about a month or two, and that one didn't work out. I gave up. I decided that no one was going to like me for me, and someone that wasn't going to get me. I'll admit and say I was jealous of my friends. I was. So I went back online. I tried a new username, set my location and messaged a few people.

I, ironically, messaged Mike first because he had mentioned Game of Thrones in his description, and well of course I had to mention it. Low and behold, about a month later, we met up. We went to his house, which wasn't far from mine, and I know, I know, one of you will be thinking "public area!!" but in all honesty, it was safe and busy where we were. If anything happened, I would have received help.  We watched the Hobbit, and he made me dinner. It took a while for both of us to get comfortable and not so nervous around one another. Once he played some music while we were making dinner, and I knew he was just great by his music taste. After that, we talked about music for about a good hour, sharing artists and favorite songs.

This was in March, we starting talking in Feb. When I met his mother, she asked us how long we've been dating, and he quickly replied "5 months". I had no idea he counted as when we were seeing one another as the term 'dating'. Either way, when we spent the day together a few days ago, he said we'd been dating six months and it made him really happy. He had never been in a relationship before, and I'm really happy to say I'm his first (and in my opinion, hopefully his last), he is the best boyfriend. He is just himself around me, and I'm myself around him. I don't think I could compare us to a couple from TV or whatnot, but we are both nerds of some sort, and we both don't care.

Right now, he's sitting and playing League of Legends with his headset on, gaming away, and I'm here writing this post while sitting on his unbelievably comfortable bed. I am happy. I haven't said that in so long, and I love feeling just so happy and content with life. I thought you all should know someone very important to me.

Excuse the stupid faces of both of us, this was an interesting night.


I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys may have, I just wanted to make this post.

OOTD! BBQ and snaps!

18:02

Hi guys, I hope you guys are doing wonderfully! I just thought I'd show you guys a little OOTD that I wore just yesterday for my friends Grad Party BBQ! I've known her since she was 11, and I was 13. A little crazy, huh? But anyways, I'm sure you guys don't really need to hear all that story, (although it's a pretty good one) I'll insert some pics from yesterday!

This is what I wore:


It's just an instagram photo, as you can probably tell. But I bought my skirt from H&M and my top from Forever 21! I love them both so much. Collars are my weakness, honestly. Just ask any one of my friends that I go shopping with. I tend to gravitate towards them. 
My friend Paige that was graduating, her mom is a photographer so she set up her camera for people to talk fun photobooth pictures for Paige to use in a photo album! We had fun props, like the ones Zoe (zoella) and Louise (sprinkleofglitter) made. So much fun!

Anyways, I figured this would be a nice post! I also made a few videos a little bit ago! This one is my most recent one so just click here and you can watch it as you like! 

Toodle-loo! xx

Product Review!

19:41

Hello! So I decided to go out shopping the other day, and it may have led to a few purchases! Regardless of how upset my bank account is with me, I finally went to the Mac stand and may of bought a sneaky purchase of one of their eyeliners. I went with "coffee" for the color, and I found that once I got home I loved how well it applied but it seemed to "fall down" as the day went on.


People had been talking about it, and I saw it in enough tutorials and I wanted to give it a try but when I had the problem of it not seeming to stay throughout the day, I started to wonder if it was just me and if there was anything I could possibly do about it not giving me that saggy, tired look? I loved it otherwise, just not when halfway through my work day I looked in the mirror and it looked like it wasn't there anymore! If anyone has any tips, that would be wonderful, but as for now I'm sticking with my Avon eyeliner that has been my best friend for years now. 

I'm also planning on filming sometime soon! I managed to get a camera, and I'm so happy about it! I want to be able to film something within the next week so my fingers are crossed that I will actually have time off for it! 
Anyways, I hope you all have a great day/night! :)
