Letting go of a grudge :)

Hey heys! So I'm back alot quicker than I thought :P but sure, what harm!

So this one is a little random, I was just thinking about grudges lately, and I really am the type of person to hold one, but I can't help it :) If I have an argument or fall out with somebody I will always have this held against them, unless they apologize. I got to thinking that this is really the wrong way to be, forgive and forget is going to be my new way of thinking. Why? Because at the end of the day, life is way too short!

So what is a grudge? 

Not this thing :P

A grudge is a 'persistent feeling of ill will or resentment resulting from a past insult or injury'. Basically it is the act of hanging on to intense anger or dislike for someone based on something they wrongly did to you in the past. So, it could be a teacher that ate the head off you for not doing the right homework, a work partner who pushed you too far in work, or made some smart comment about your new pencil skirt or silk tie, it could be the ex who broke your heart or cheated, your partners ex causing you hassle, a sales person who keeps calling to your house, the list is absolutely endless! As I said above, I am so bad at holding grudges, but what's the point at the end of the day? Your just doing mental damage to yourself and causing yourself unnecessary stress. 

Dis someone hurt you intentionally in the past? Do they deliberately cause you trouble? Do you feel like they are 'out to get you' or compete with you socially? All you can do is be the bigger person, move on and forgive them. Sometimes we confuse the ability to hate someone with the inability to understand them. These people are obviously hurt themselves, insecure, jealous or angry. Just like me and you they make mistakes, and we have to learn to forgive them. You're not just doing better by you but better by them too.

I hope this helps you guys :) There really is no point in holding a grudge, just learn to forgive and forget :) 

Thanks for reading :D

Winter Tag!!

Hey Guys!! Sorry it's been a while, I moved house and everything with my boyfriend so I'm all over the place basically :( 

I just said seen as we're nearly at Christmas ( YAAAY) I'll do a Winter Tag :) Also because I have moved house I might not be able to do videos for a while yet :D 

So here goes :) 

Happy Christmas!! 

 Top 2 Winter Beauty Essentials

I have to say Nivea Cold Creme because my skin is so dry :( And definitely my Body Shop Shea butter lip balm, it's amazing and badly needed for the dry crisp weather :)  

 Top 2 Winter Fashion Essentials

My owl hat from Penneys( Primark) that I bought last year and my Black gloves, also from Penneys ( I live there!) I got a pair of two for €1.50, where would you be going wrong? 

 What shoes do you tend to wear the most in the winter?

I would say Uggs :) and fluffy socks, they are amazingly comfy, I secretly wear them with my pajamas too :/

 Favorite Winter Accessory

My owl Pocket Warmer that I got as a gift :D it's SOOOO cute!!! and actually works too!

 Favorite Winter Nail Polish

I got a gold metallic varnish from NYC which my little sister stole :( but it was amazing! It looked silver in the light but was actually gold.

 Hot Cocoa or Apple Cider?

Hot Cocoa :) defenitely with cream and marshmallows.

Favorite Winter Candle?

The Vanilla Tea lights from Tesco are so nice, I love the smell of the smoke from those candles :) I think they were only about 2.50 for 29 !

 Snowboarding or Skiing?

Oh lord neither, but I can remember being really young, filling a bag of cattle feed with straw or hay and sitting on them sliding down a hill :) ( I live on a farm :P)

Have you ever gone Ice Skating? Are you any good or do you FAIL miserably?.

Nope haha I have SUCH bad balance :/

 Does it snow where you live?.

Sometimes, but I live in the middle of a valley and it snows up to twenty feet on the tops of the mountains! 

 Have you ever made a snowman?

Yes of course, I can remember making a girl snowman when I was really small and putting a really old pink t-shirt around it and the snow turned pink ! 

What holiday do you celebrate?

Christmas, St Stephen's Day and New Years :)

 Favorite Christmas/Holiday song?

Probably Snow is Falling by Shakin' Stevens, such a feel good song :)

 Favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?

Probably Love Actually or Gone With the Wind always comes on, but you can't beat Home Alone :)

 What is your favorite winter treat? (candy cane, gingerbread, etc…)

Probably the selection boxes :P I love the galaxy box, or maltesers from the Celebrations Tin :D

 If you were to ask Santa for one thing and you were guaranteed to get it, what would it be? 

Probably a good job, I know that sounds so pitiful but it's all I want at the moment :( If I had to say an object or thing probably a Laptop :)

 Do you have anything fun planned for this winter

I am going to Lanzarote in two weeks and I am so excited to have a tan for all the Parties! :P 

Ok guys, thats it!! Feel free to do this tag yourself :D 

Enjoy!! If i don't write soon, Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year to every one of my readers and followers :) 

Lots of Love!x

Penneys/Primark Haul for Paris!!!

Hey guys!!!! Ok so I know it has been an age since I wrote last I apologise :( But last weekend I went to Paris...the most Romantic place on earth with my lovely Boyfriend...it was amazing :) We only went for the weekend but got to see some beautiful sights, the Eiffel tower, Notre dame, Montmartre and of course the Champs Elysee :D (my french teacher would kill me for not including my accents, but anyway :P ) We had a great time and it was definitely a holiday to remember :) 

Stephen & I :) Champs Elysee

So, I knew I was going to be going to one of the most fashionable places in the world so I had to look good all of the time (I'm sure poor Stephen got fed up of me taking 3 hours to get ready every day :P). So I said I would do a small haul the day before I went to Dublin, typical me leaving things until last minute! I decided to go to Penneys seen as they have their Autumn collection in now, it has amazing clothes at extremely affordable prices :O Some of which I will show you below :) 

This top is so comfy!...I wore it flying out with a pair of jeggings and uggs and my leather jacket :) I think this is a great buy, its flattering, it can be dressed up or dressed down, and the horizontal stripes flatter a curvy body :) At 10 € this was my favourite bargain! 

This skirt is soooo pretty!! Its a wine/burgundy coloured velour skater skirt. This is ideal for the season we are in now, it can be worn with a shirt like the one I bought which I show next,pair of tights and pumps, or a wooly top with thick tights and boots for winter! It is longer than the skater skirts Penneys recently sold and has a lovely velour feel :) I adore this, it came in black also but I said I'd be daring and get this colour :) 

I love this shirt, it's really classy looking :) I feel like a real lady when I wear this :D It's a very light material so I would advise a light top worn inside it :p I wore this with both my black and burgundy skater skirt and felt so comfortable in it too! It can be worn on a night out or to a job interview or work :) Whichever you prefer!

This top was a very last minute buy, but I'm so glad I bought it :D I got it in the Penneys in Dublin just as a top to keep me warm incase the weather was a bit dodgy in Paris(which it was :P) It's just a plain black long sleeved cashmere sweater but I teemed this with a gold necklace and skater skirt and it was so comfy :) and kept me warm, happy days! :D 

This was my biggest bargain :D This is a plain red skater dress that cost me just €6 !! I saw it on my way up to the till and I had to grab it :D The only problem is it's very short so I would have to wear it with a skirt underneath to be on the safe side :P But I have this problem with alot of Penney's dresses because I'm about 5'10 so, if they want to make a tall section anytime soon I'll be delighted :P 

I love these two, I wore these both nearly every day :D The necklace doesn't feel too heavy or irritating and I've been meaning to get these for AGES, the bag is big enough to fit phone, purse, passport and a camera :P and a metro map as well actually lol! The necklace was only €5 and the bag was on sale for €3 ! and they do last a while! :) 

And last but not least the Makeup :D The two lipsticks were a present I got from my lovely sister, they are both fuschia shades and I absolutely love them! I think I wore them every day as well. I want to go back and buy some neutral shades like beige and nude :D These lipsticks were so moisturising as well and lasted all day, even with the many smooches with my boyfriend lol ;) The foundation I was a bit skeptical about however I am very impressed with this one :) I would save if for day coverage however :) because it has light covering but I am still quite happy with it :) The mascara and eye liner I find are ok, not great but I do like the brush on the mascara :) The eye liner comes out as more of a grey rather than black :/ But i dipped it into a gel liner pot and it worked fine :D 

Ok guys that's all I got in my haul :D I will be back vlogging soon, whenever my camera gets fixed :( sigh. I shall leave ye and love ye with a few pictures we took in le Gay Pareeee :D 

Stephen and myself :D <3

View from the Hotel :D

How to have the perfect lasting relationship :)

Hey everyone :) So this is something completely random :D But I have decided over the last couple of days to write a blog about how to have a good and loving relationship :)

love doing this :)

I know that nobody is perfect, everyone has their faults, but when your in a good relationship, that significant other should be able to make you feel like you are perfect, even just to him/her :) Everybody wants to have that one person that makes them weak at the knees, that they can be friends with as well as lovers, and most importantly that makes them feel like they are the luckiest people on the solar system, just because they are loved by them :) 

 Even when you're crazy about someone, it can often be hard to know if he or she is "right" for you. How do you know you won't feel differently in a year? Ten years? The rest of your Life? Deciding if you can commit to someone is a very personal determination. How do you know that he or she are the one? Here are some points to help you decide :) 

Everyone wants to be this happy years later with each other :)

You can tell them something you would never have told anybody else :) I don't mean something you say after one too many pints! But something you feel like you can tell them just so you can be closer :) Telling them these things means you can trust them :)

love talking over a good ol' cuppa :)

You can let them see you in your moments of weakness :) For me, a few months back I had been feeling a little low about life, just over financial worries and stress in college and I was literally at my all time low. I just found that apart from my family, the only one who understood was my boyfriend, he was there the whole time, he came with me to the doctor etc and it made me appreciate him so so much. I realized that he could be my rock for any obstacle we faced in the future.

A hug is the BEST cure :)

You won't want to change them :) There might be small things that irritate you, they switch the channel to soccer or insist on wearing certain items of clothing (for me its chinos :P) But you still love them, plain and simple. 

He loves his soccer :p

They should make you laugh :) I really think this is one of the most important ones :D Laughter is one of life's simplest pleasures and an absolute tonic. My boyfriend can always make me laugh no matter what :D I think it's one of the key ingredients to a healthy life if not just a healthy relationship :)

He always makes me laugh, especially with his attempt at dancing to 'Galway Girl' :P

You should be able to overcome any obstacle :) This could be anything, from a long distance relationship to financial worries to a crazy ex. You just know that you'll both get over it and it will all be worth it in the end. Every couple faces speed bumps throughout their relationship the key is to get over them together :) My boyfriend and I have dealt with all of these problems in the last while, especially the last one, but we still wake up every morning the same happy couple :D The long distance problem worked out easily, finances were cleared up and the psycho ex is finally out of the picture :)

Us out one night :) loved this night :) we literally never fight on nights out! 

The most important one of all, is that you should be able to see a future with them:) Obviously, how can you keep trying to make a relationship last if you can't even see yourself with them this time next week, next month or even next year! You have to be able to communicate with them, discuss your plans for the future and make sure to include your partner. You want to go travelling? Start making plans for the two of you to go? You want to move in together into a new apartment ? Make sure its suitable for both you and your partner. You have to think for two people and not just yourself :) 

Love the dress, ;) lol

Make sure you can trust each other, communicate with each other and love each other :) These are the keys to living together for a long time contentedly :) 

I love him :) My Boyfriend Stephen <3 ! Xxxxx

Hope this helps y'all :)

Thanks for reading guys :D
