Such a tune!!

Why hello there!

For me, summer is the time for music and dancing with your girlfriends. I want to share with you guys the music I have been loving recently.

Afrojack-As Your Friend

I love this song for when I'm running. The beat is so good and I just can't help but do a booty dance whenever I hear it!

Icona Pop-I Love It

Oh gurrrrrrl, this is my jam!! My friends and I absolutely love this song with a capital L. I have a feeling that this will be my summer song.

Rudimental-Feel The Love

This is what I like to call my bingo wing song because when I hear this on the radio I just have to drop everything and shake m'bingo wings.

Mr. C The Slide Man-Cha Cha Slide

Don't lie, we all have one song that we secretly love but refuse to tell anyone about it because of how embarrassing the song is. Well, I trust you guys so I am telling you that the Cha Cha Slide is my guilty pleasure song. Don't laugh but I have this hope that one day at a party, the DJ will just put this song on and then everyone at the party will just get into lines and start doing the dance.

Well those are the first few songs that I will definitely be listening to this summer. What are gonna be your summer tunes this year??

See you guys soon Xx

Habitat For Humanity

Why hello there!

On the 23rd of June I will be going off to Romania to build a house for a week. I'm doing this with a charity called Habitat for Humanity. Habitat provide low cost housing to people all over the world. They keep the housing low cost by having volunteers help build the houses and that's where I come in.


For ten years now my school has gone all over the place with Habitat and built houses for familes who wouldn't of been able to afford one without their help. As part of my school's tenth anniversary with Habitat, there are gonna be 250 of us going over to build ten houses in Romania. The group of houses are going to be called the Wesley Way after my school.

Over the past year I have raised over €1500 for this trip and I am really looking forward to building a home for a family that really deserves it. Because I am going away for a week with no wifi, it does mean that from the 23rd to the end of June there will be no blog post but I hope you guys can understand.

 I will have a huge blogpost about what I got up too when I get back and I might be able to tweet and instagram a few picks so make sure that you guys follow me on those so I can keep you up to date. If you guys wanna know more about what Habitat for Humanity is you can find out HERE

See you guys soon Xx

Things I'm lovin'

Why hello there!

This post is usually called a monthly favourites post but because I am a very forgetful person and I forgot to do a May monthly favourites so I thought I'd do things I'm loving right now and then a Hune monthly favourites in July!!

Converse from Office-€46

The first thing that I am loving right now are my white converse. I was a bit worried buying these because I am not good with white anything. Red sauce will eventually find its way to any white item of clothing that I own!! But I LOVE these and I am so glad I bought them. 

Shade 12 from Boots-around €7

I normally can't wear lipstick at all because my lips get really dried out from it. But my friend had bought one of these and recommended it to me so I decided to take a risk and buy one. I'm so glad I did because the range has really pretty shades and it feels so moisturising on my skin!!

From pharmacies and online-around €8-9
I did a review about Mane n' Tail a couple of days ago so you guys know I love this!!! I just cannot get enough of it. Like I am full on obsessed with Mane n'Tail shampoo and I think this will probably be in my favourites for a looong time. 

Available in pharmacies and boots-around €3

My world basically revolves around lip balm and I have been loving Carmax lip balm. It has such a refreshing feel and it helps a lot with the dryness of my lips. 

Eason's-€15.99
Miranda Hart is like my idol!! If I saw her in the street I would full on scream and then probably faint. I love watching her on tv and when I heard she had brought out a book I was first in line to buy it!! I recently re-read about two weeks ago and I still think it such I funny book. If you are a Miranda Hart fan I urge you to read it. 

Boots-€6.99
And finally there is this base coat. I think the brand is called save the nail. I bought it in boots a month ago now and it has like brought strength back to my nails and repaired it!! I do like this base coat and I have been using it a lot this past month.

Well there you go! All the thing that I have been lovin' this past month and I promise I will do a HUGE monthly favourites in June. Including clothe, make up, everything. In the meantime, tell me below what you guys have been loving. 

See you guys soon Xx

My New Obsession

Why hello there!

I know I am late jumping on the bandwagon with this one but I downloaded Candy Crush saga a week ago and now I am full on obsessed!! Like I have a serious problem. If you follow me on Twitter @ContemplatingNd (shameless plug there) I even tweeted that I dreamed about it.

Image gotten from Google Images
The app is free but the more levels you get up too the harder it is and you can pay for help which is how they get you. I have spent like a tenner on stuff in just one week alone! I know it's bad for  me, because if you think about it, what does this do to help me in life? But I just can't stop.

If you haven't gotten this yet, I urge you not too because it WILL take over your life! Even now as I write this post, I am playing Candy Crush. I just can't help myself!! Do you guys have an obsession like I have with Candy Crush?

See you guys soon Xx

Food for Thought

Why hello there!

Have you ever had this one piece of food that has just taken over your entire life? For me it has to be Krisprolls. I cannot get enough of these bad boys.

                                           

You can have them with some cream cheese and tomatoes or you can do what I do and have them with a teaspoon of jam on top. They are so good that I had to share them with you guys so you too can enjoy them. You can get them in Tesco and Dunnes Stores and I'm not gonna lie, I might have already eaten two bags of these in two days......

That's all for now though but tell me, do you guys have food that you just cannot live without??

See you guys soon Xx

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Why hello there!

Foundations are always hard for me to buy. I have quite good skin so I don't need that much of a coverage but I get the worst bags under my eyes and my T-zone does get greasy. This means that I never really stuck with just one foundation. But that all changed when I bought this baby.....

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in shade 103-TRUE IVORY
I love it soooooo much, like I bought this foundation almost a year ago and I am still wearing it. And as you can see in the background of the picture that I have another bottle of it ready for when this baby runs out.

It just suits me skin so well. It says on the bottle that it has an anti-fatigue effect which is what I look for in foundations because I get such bad under eye bags and I look so much more less tired. It also has SPF 15 in it too which I think is just so important and I never buy foundation anymore that doesn't have an SPF.

No Make Up On
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation On


















You can see from the photos that there is a notciable difference from when I'm not wearing the foundation and then when I am wearing it. It's medium coverage which is what I like and it stays on all day, from when I wake up in the morning until night time when I take it off.

You can buy this foundation at all pharmacies and Boots as well as Tesco and Dunnes Stores. For £8.99 I think it's brilliant value, especially for the quality you are getting. I love it and if you want a good, medium coverage foundation then I recommend you try this one out.

See you guys soon Xx

Out with the old and in with the new!!

Why hello there!
I  was shopping with my friends a couple of days ago( spending way more than I could afford) when all of a sudden I heard a giant rip. 

It had happened. My bad had finally ripped in half. I knew I should have thrown it out when I first saw some wear but I just couldn't bare to part with it. It was just so beautiful!!!


So after a couple of days of strong thinking and looking at all the online sites for bags that I could in no way afford, my mum came home with this bag for me. 

It's from Penny,s and only €11 but I just had to have it!! It was the perfect bag to replace my old one. I just has this casual look about it and the bag is sooo big too. I think this bag is definitely gonna be one of my summer staples.

See you guys soon Xx
