new blog, fresh start.

I decided to start a new blog because this blog seemed, immature and uninteresting. I was 15 when I made it. now at 17, I dress differently, eat differently, talk differently. therefore, this blog represents the new me. well, a newER me.

Lucky i've got on waterproof mascara.

Results day.
And I've got a feeling that i'll be crying because of the very bad results.
If getting your GCSE's isn't enough pressure. An extra dose of Asian parents. Now that should do the trick :)

On a happier note. I'm going clubbing, Verrrryyy soon :)
As a matter of fact - tonight!
I'll post some pictures of my outfit.
The pictures will probably include my lovely friend :)


Good luck to you all if your getting your results.
And have a great day :)

Have you ever loved somebody so much, it makes you cry.

Falling for someone hurts. Especially when they have a girlfriend and are happy. Do the people who get left out ever get to be happy?
You're friends. Yep. Then why does it always hurt to think about what you're thinking about? Why do you feel the way you feel? To know that they've got the future sorted and your still stuck in the past, trying to pick up the pieces you've lost? Why doesn't your brain just know when to stop?

When you finally begin to calm your heart down, why does it start revving it's engine again?
Is it me? or is unrequited love extremely pants?

Feel/Felt the same way? Tell me about it. Post a comment :)
Not feeling like opening up publicly? Email me - xosamii@googlemail.com

The Bedroom.
Haha. Well. I'm off to make my sims have babies.
See you laterrr!
:) x


I've been sim-ified.

This is no joke. Guess what I did from 3 o'clock in the afternoon till 8 o'clock at night? I sat on my very uncomfortable computer chair and played on the Sims. No just any old Sims. Sims 3. Could this be a review? Tottaly irrelavent to what this blog is about. Live with it :)

I remember the old days (about 6 years ago) when my mum bought me my first ever sims; the original sims. I adored it! The power to become god? Hell yeah! Setting the whole house on fire. Murdering the sim by letting a cooking newb fry up a sophisticated dish of some food I can't remember the name of. Life was good. Until Sims 2 was unleashed. Life became even better!

At this point, I didn't care for creating havoc and mischeif. Downloading custom content was the only reason I even bothered. So many clothes. I finally could reflect my own style on my sim. I remember finding this GORGEOUS casual outfit that consisted of grey skinny jeans, red and white striped vest top, navy blue boyfriend blazer, topped off with loads of gold jewellery and heels. I downloaded everything - from clothes to lingerie.

But then I got bored with just dressing them. So I searched 'sims 2 furniture downloads', just on a wim, not knowing what the end results would be. I was amazed at how many links my eager cursor could click on. I downloaded more and more furniture and less and less clothes - i kept the best, of course. I was hooked on Sims 2 interior designing. Creating houses and furnishing them took the longest amount of time in my opinion. My favourite provider - http://www.simsinparis.net/ - I was speechless at how amazing people were. I even favourited a Sims 2 magazine that specialised in interior and exterior designs. www.mackat.dk/livingetc, i believe was the website. Absolutely stunning. It is a Sims 2 architecture and interior design addicts holy bible.

Time went by and the new craze, Sims 3 was released. I was xSparkage talking about it and I wanted it. Reaaaaaaaal bad. So I went to my local HMV and bought the damn thing for £40! I arrived home and went straight to the computer. It didn't take long to load. Well. Not as long as everyone was saying it was. To this day, It's still pretty quick *thank god* I arrived on the unfamiliar home screen and thought 'WTF', I didn't know what to do or what to press. It's so jam packed of things to do and endless possiblities that I was gobsmacked. I'd never taken so long to create a sim, build a home and furnish it. It actually wares you out, by the time you actually get to start some gameplay, your out of breath (not literally) and tired from playing.

I see what Leesha means. It's so crazy and you have so much to do that you end up being sick of hearing the background music. However, I love it still. The choices given to you makes me feel quite blissed. I don't have to worry about not finding the right colour or not liking the pattern. Your limited when it comes to type and style but you have so much fun in the process of creating everything you forget about it :)

I'll put some photos up later - probably after this one.
Anyone think that it's an extremely annoying bother, when you write an essay on here and you want to put images or graphics at the end of your rant but you have to drag the images to the bottom. :

Anywayy!
I'll see you guys soon, hopefully with a video of some sort

Ever think that maybe you'll be bald one day?

Okay, I know. Wierd ass title, but. You see, dying my hair 3 times over the space of 4 days, made me think. What happens to you when you overdye. Will my hair fall out and become an egg head? or How do you make your hair stronger?
Here's the full story. Strap into your seats, It's a long journey.


Not really.. :)
It began, when I stepped into 'Dazzles', A shop that sells Make up, Jewellery ect. I saw a bottle of Stargazer's Blue Black Semi-Permenant hair dye. It was blue black, what was the harm in that? I've died my hair blue black before, but i've always used the more common drugstore at-home hair dye kits. Schwarzkopf XXL Live in Cosmic Blue to be exact, but it always gave my dark hair a tinge of blue. So I came up with the now, not-so-ingenious idea of prelightening my hair, so the blue would shine through. I though, 'yeahh! this will work. It'll be the same as all the other times i've dyed my hair blue black! Just.. Brighter'.
Big mistake. I purchased the bottle of hell and walk home, happy with myself as I remembered that I had a bottle of Schwarzkopf XXL Live in Absolute Platinum in the bathroom cupboard. I asked my mum, nicely to dye my hair. Obviously, 1 bottle was not enough to fight against my thick long locks. Too late now as the cling film was being wrapped around my head.
2 hours and 35 minutes later. I had bright orange hair with chunks of black where the dye had failed to attack. I liked it. No. I ADORED it. Surprisingly, so did everyone else. I was shocked. I felt so brave for actually stepping out in public with my Hayley Williams hair. But being as stubborn as I was. I wanted to carry out my plan. So I did.
I hated it. I looked in the mirror and I didn't like what looked back. Bright ocean blue hair mixed in with highlights of Lime Green and lowlights of a Deep Navy. Three words sprung to mind - W. T. F. I missed my ginger hair. I'd never thought that I would be so attached to a hair colour. I had to get rid of it. The next morning, my poor Mum went to Boots and bought me a nice natural black hair dye. To be truthful. I didn't care what brand it was. I wanted it to be killed! I scrubbed the black into my hair like I was mad! I had spent the night crying to my two friends. One on MSN, the other on the phone. I was kicking myself for being so impulsive and irrational. I washed the hair off and turned my shower green. I saw this as a good sign, like the sins were being washed away from me, or my hair :)
Now it's a healthy looking shiny black that's being given as much love as i could give hair, but I might go back ginger since Orange is my happy colour. If anyone knows any shampoo/conditioner/treatment for coloured hair that is reccomendable, hook me up :) Me and My hair will love you :D Enough of my rant! It's time for bed! x

After :)

Long time no blog

I guess I have some explaining to do.
I have majorly neglected YT and this blog. Even though I said I would try and post something, anything.
That rule is officially going to be ripped up into little microscopic pieces and start clean and fresh for the month of August.
Here we go..

  • Rule No.1 - Post in Blog everytime you have nothing to do.
  • Rule No.2 - Keep checking the Blog, even if you have nothing to say.

Do you guys think I can keep to it?

And for some reason, I can't ever make a good youtube video, I always make one, then re-do it, then my camera runs out of battery. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist xD

Haul :)

Do you think I buy too much, because I think I do. :)
Actually, I bought everything yesterday, but I was too lazy to do this so yeahhhh.

Firstly, we have more Barry M Nail Paints in 302 Fuchsia and 299 Racing Green. How nice is Racing Green! It's this dark navy colour with green shimmers. C'est lushhhh! But, it's not very opaque so you have to paint about 3 coats, other than that *thumbs up*
Fuchsia is a lovely colour too. It's a very wearable fuchsia too, not too bright but bright enough to make a statement. 


Next up, I was browsing Superdrug and I saw these hung up. I saw these a few weeks back but never really took notice of them, until now. Cheryl's were completely gone, even though, I thought they weren't all that nice but i guess it just shows you how popular people really are or how people actually do like thing you dont like. I really like Nicolas (L, T) because of the winged effect on the lashes to elongate your eyes and it's very natural and whispy. Nadines (R, B) are more spikey and thick and they also have crosses at the roots of the lashes, It's more dramatic but still very natural. Both bought for a reasonable price, since it's on sale (I think) I'd suggest buying them while they last. Back ups maybe?


 I bought these two items from River Island. I had been wanting this hat since it first appeared on the walls of my River Island, I had thought, "£9.99 for a hat?" but I finally caved in and I love it :) I like the look of slouchy beanies, I think they look cute xD. 
I walked passed this top about 60x before I actually stopped and took a look. It reminds me of summer somehow, maybe it was the halter neck design or the polka dots or the colour. Paired with dark coloured skinnies and studded heels *double thumbs up*

I was walking towards Internacionale; a shop that i neglect because of the over-priced neon clothing that was being sold there, but there really are some nice things inside. For example, this pink, grey and black dress that was in the same design as the topshop dress that I reeeeally wanted. BTW, I didn't get the dress. £18.99 for a dress? I was looking for a bargin! Thats when i turned away from the gorgeousness of the dress and read the sign that said, "Buy one and get the cheapest one for £1", I thought, "oooo helloo bargin". So I wound up with these two dresses for £9! The blue one is my favourite, because you can wear it as a top and a dress but I guess you can do that with both. I like the rolled up shoulder things, it's so casual and nice. I love the colour of the other dress. It's more of a pink coral than a peach/red coral and it just compliments my skin tone very nicely :)

Well that's it really. 
Thank you for spending your time to read this haul
I'll be posting my tutorial next :)

Collective Haul.

Helloo :)
I know I meant to update this everyday, just like I vowed to make videos every week.
but as you can see,
that failed.

BUT!
I'm going to try as hard as I can to update this blog everyday, it takes less time to write a post than to record a video, edit it and post it up onto youtube, then wait for it to finish loading.
This doesn't mean I'm retiring from YouTube, It just means I complain a hell of a lot.

Okay enough rambling and onto the collective haul.

Well, I'll begin with last week's buy. We have two Nail Paints from Barry M in 293 Grey and 273 Raspberry to add to my army and they costs around £3, which is pretty good and some of the paints are very good indeed. Gotta have em' all! (lol, remind you of a certain phrase?) Well, thats my aim anyway.

From River Island I bought this lovely Patent Quilted Zip Purse for a price of £14.99, pretty reasonable. It's white, it's large and it's quilted with the RI logo on the front in a tarnished metal. Also comes in black and hot pink. I love quilted items, all my friends think it's granny-esque, but something just attracts me to it.


Another quilted item, an across body style bag from New Look for £12.00. Verdict? Absolutely in love with the damn bag! Omg. You'll be surprised in how much junk you can fit in it's trunk. I love the little thick strap you get at the top. It's a life-saver when you have a load of stuff inside. I love the fact that everyone is going for the chanel-ish style, with the black trim and the contrast of the colours. Also comes in handbag form.


Today I bought...

Dream Matte Mousse in 032 Golden from Maybelline to replace my old one which has about 10% of the product left. I really life this product for touch-ups when i'm on the go. it's so easy to blend and it doesn't make a mess and i love the fact that it doesn't make my oily skin even more oily.
Except, i think it's too light for me :/ but it's fine when it gets blended though.

Okay, i've bought a lot of clothes recently. I am actually obssessed. BUT, it's not my fault, they call for me :)

First we have the shirt from Topshop that I said I would get and i'm loving how comfortable and casual this shirt is, it's brillant. Paired with a brown chunky belt *drools* lmaoo!


Okayyy, next we have this Crochet Trim Blouse from New Look, pricing at £18. Now, I'll be honest, I FRICKEN LOVE IT! even the molly shoulder thingys. This top with dark blue skinnies or leggings = My perfect way of wearing it. It's so versitle for casual and formal wear.


Next on the menu, we have this £17 Slouchy Sweat from River Island. As a matter of fact, I am wearing this right now. hehe, I have a tendancy to wear things on the same day as i've bought them. It's so casual and comfortable and it has a fluro orange diamond on the front. As it's a diamond, i'll forgive the neon orange colour, however, paired with the peachy pinkness, it's quite nice :)


Last, but definately not least, is the Bandeau Placket Playsuit, also from River Island. I'm a bit iffy on this one. I really like it, but on me :/ not so likey. In my opinion, I think I look like a moose. Whatever, i'll still wear it. Maybe with a white long sleeved top, tights and boots? Any suggestions?


Well, that's the last of it. I hope you've enjoyed viewing my haul and my intention behind this post, is not to brag. I just wanted to share with you the kind of clothes that I enjoy very much and also letting you see what products that I rate very high or very low :)

Thanks for spending your time to read this extremely long post

p.s. All of these items can be found on the websites of the stores. I actually checked (except the Dream Matte Mousse, you can find that at places :]) subject to availability.

Wishlist - Shirts

I'm really only just getting into shirt. I own the few checked/flannel shirts, but i'm after something completely different.


 Name? Wide stripe city shirt. Where can i buy? Topshop. And how much for? £28
it's so simple, don't you think? i need to buy new shorts, new belt and new jewellry to pair it up with this stunner. I'll update more when i've actually bought the shirt :)

Why is life so pooey atm?

Hey everyone :)

I'm not in the bestest of moods right now.
I'm feeling fed up and extremely full from the chicken parmo i just devoured.

I have exams all this and next week. 
20 hours of art, over 4 days is actually hell on earth.
If i find the person who decided this, i will kill them, bring them back to life, then kill them all over again.

Enough negitivity. 

My up's and down's :)

Up

  1. The Inbetweeners - Such a great way to relax and have a laughing fit too. 
  2. The Body Shop's Strawberry puree body lotion - I use this on my hands, smells well yummy! 
  3. Shirts - I really want this shirt from Topshop. Paired with shorts, a chunky belt and boots *love* The shirt i bought from New Look is one of my new favourites too 
  4. Circle lenses - I look so much better, really. Without these babies, my eyes look small and tired :(
  5. Atashinchi No Danshi -The new j-drama, starring Horikita Maki. It's so funny just like Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. I recommend you watch it now! You can watch both of these dramas @ www.dramacrazy.net.
Down

  1. Exams stress - GCSE stress is the best! I haven't had a good night's sleep without worrying about my grades and how much work i'm behind on.
  2. The cold - It's nearly summer and i'm still wearing scarves and jackets. When am i going to be able to just wear some capri's and vest top?!
  3. Bread - Why do the french each so much bread. Bread with rice and pasta? Not my favourite meal.
  4. Oily skin - My skin is acting up like mad! It's like a chip pan on my face, especially my t-zone and cheeks :/
  5. Fluro clothing - Tacky much? Basically, I hate neon colours.
