My 5 Favourite Songs - October 2017

Barbsxox October 22, 2017 0 Comments

I love listening to music and spend a good 95% of my time listening to it, so I'd thought I'd start a new monthly feature on my blog. Each month I will write about 5 songs I have been loving.

Here are 5 songs I haven't stopped listening to throughout October .....

Too Much To Ask - Niall Horan

Even though I was never a massive fan of 1D Niall was always my favourite, so when he started releasing solo music I freaked out a little bit. I love the style of music Niall creates, it's so relaxed and chilled and is perfect to listen to on a lazy afternoon or when driving in the car. I've had Too Much To Ask pretty much on a constant loop since the first day I heard it, and I'm lucky enough to be seeing Niall live next March. I may just cry when he performs this song.

Havana - Camila Cabello ft Young Thug

Havana by Camila is one of the most catchiest songs out at the moment. I should dislike it because it's constantly played on the radio at work, but I just can't help singing along to it. I love how upbeat it is and it gives off serious Latin vibes.

Dusk Till Dawn - Zayn ft Sia

When I first heard Dusk Till Dawn by Zayn and Sia I wasn't a massive fan, however it kept getting played on music channels and it started to grow on me. I now find myself belting out the chorus whenever I hear it. I think this would make a cute relationship song as the lyrics mention always being there for the other person no matter what.

Too Good At Goodbyes - Sam Smith

You have no idea how happy I am that Sam Smith is back with new music. Sam Smith is one of the very few artists who manages to make you feel his emotions in every song he releases. He does this again with Too Good At Goodbyes which I can fully relate to, as I'm sure many others can as well. I particularly love the lyrics "Baby we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true."

Lonely Together - Avicii ft Rita Ora

When I found out that Avicii had teamed up with Rita Ora to make a song I got so excited. I love them both so much and Avicii slays every track he works on. I started listening to this track more after Rita performed it on Strictly Come Dancing and fell it love with it. It's the perfect song to get you ready for a night out and to even bust a move to in the club. Great job Avicii.

What songs have you been loving this month?

SugarBearHair Vitamins Review

Barbsxox October 15, 2017 0 Comments

I'm sure most people are aware of SugarBearHair, it's hard not to be when it seems like every celebrity is endorsing them on Instagram or Facebook.

When I first saw them I thought "vitamins that make your hair grow don't be silly" and totally discounted them until a few months ago. My hair has always been thin which can be super annoying at times, so I wanted to find something that could make it look and feel a bit thicker. An advert for SugarBearHair appeared on my Facebook news feed again and this time I read up about it and bought a month's bottle.

SugarBearHair is an American company but they ship worldwide which means you occur shipping costs and they can take a while to arrive. It took 10 days for my order to reach me here in the UK.

They recommend you take 2 of the gummy bears a day. I take mine at the same time just because I find it easier, but some people prefer to take one in the morning and one in the evening. They sell a 1 month, 3 month and 6 month pack with each bottle containing 60 gummies. The 3 month and 6 month packs also come with a free gift.

They contain:

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin E

Vitamin B-5

Vitamin B-6

Vitamin B-12

Folic Acid

Biotin (which is apparently what makes your hair stronger)

The vitamins look exactly like described and are honestly some of the cutest vitamins I've ever come across. They are turquoise bears and have a sweet berry taste which makes taking vitamins fun. They are also suitable for vegetarians and are gluten,soy and cruelty free.

Believe it or not these vitamins have worked wonders on my hair, unfortunately I didn't take a photo of my hair before I started taking them so I can't compare it. However just by feeling my hair it feels fuller and slightly more thicker. People have also complimented me on how shiny it is too which is a bonus. My hair has always grown pretty quickly (every time I get a hair cut my hairdresser always mentions it) so in regards to them making my hair grow I didn't really notice a difference.

I've nearly finished my first bottle and have ordered another one. I am seriously impressed with what these vitamins have done so far, and am curious to see if they will keep working for me.

Why I Took A Break From Blogging

Barbsxox October 08, 2017 0 Comments

GUESS WHO'S BACK, BACK AGAIN!!

Hi guys, it's been ages since I last posted on here (6 months to be precise) and I'm really sorry about that. However I'm back and with a new theme (I'm still in the process of editing it so just ignore all the non blogging drop downs) I'd just thought I'd give everyone a little update as to what I've been doing and why there haven't been any blog posts.

Why I took a break

The main reason I took a break from my blog was because I had 0 time to write any posts or take pictures. I currently work 5 days a week so when it gets to the weekend I just want to chill out or spend time with my friends. I also felt like some weeks I was forcing myself to put a blog post up and stressing that the pictures I took weren't good enough. Having some time away enabled me to really think about things, and decide where I want my blog to go in the future.

What have I been doing

Throughout these 6 months I have made so many amazing memories with my friends particularly over the Summer. I went to London for a week and did so many incredible things, as well as attending Capital's Summertime Ball in June, V Festival in August and celebrating my 20th in July (officially no longer a teenager boo) I've also been working hard on my health by trying to eat more healthily and exercise more. I'd like to say I haven't been spending as much time on social media but that's a huge lie. However whilst doing all of these amazing things, I couldn't help thinking that I should be writing about them on my blog but then I realised, that I don't have to document absolutely everything that I do. I should live in the moment and cherish the memories.

Why I decided now is the right time to return to blogging

After a lot of thinking I feel like now is the perfect time to return to blogging. Autumn is one of my favourite times of year and I get so much inspiration from it. There's lots of events happening in the next few months such as Halloween, Bonfire night and not to mention Christmas which should give me lots of exciting things to blog about. I have also decided to try and do some shorter blog posts as well as long ones, as I feel this was the main reason for me falling out of love with my blog. I have also decided to post once a week rather than twice like I planned to do, as my schedule just doesn't allow it. I think I'm going to stick to posting Sundays at 4pm but this may change.

I hope to have my next post up next weekend but in the meantime check out my other social media accounts and if you have your own blog share it in the comments below.
