DATE DAY IN MANCHESTER

Image
Hi guys! During the weekends me and Tony like to have a little us time. So that means either getting a dominos and watching movies/Netflix. We are currently watching Luther which we love and whilst on the Netflix subject, Orange is the new black season 4 this week! So excited.  Anyway.....we both also enjoy to go out on a date day/night.  When going out, we tend to stick with what we know but this time, w e decided to go to a restraunt we had never been to before. It  was called the Albert Square Chop Shop and was located in Manchester city centre not far from the Manchester town hall.  It was such a lovely place. The waiters were very nice and welcoming. The food came quickly and the atmosphere was plesant. The food w as a bit on the pricey side however, worth every penny.  I enjoyed a Shepards pie which came very well presented and Tony had steak with chips. That was one of the main reasons we went. He loves steak! I didn't have time to take photos of the chip...

FIRE FAIRY ♡ SFX MAKE-UP

Image
Hi guys! I wanted to share with you this make-up look I created a few weeks ago in college.  For a pre observation our aim was to create what ever we wanted using a prosthetic piece. Me being me, loving fantasy, I created a fire fairy. I mainly decided on the fire fairy due to my friend having red hair. I couldn't really do a blue water fairy when she had red hair (unless I did ariel hmm..). So any way, back on topic.  To create the look I used red and gold glitter mixed with the illamasqua sealing gel. This ensured it would last and set in place. I also used two prosthetic ears. I applied them with spirit gum and made the lines invisible by using liquid latex. The rest was just normal make-up. Apart from red contour that is.  I hope you enjoyed this blog and I will chat with you all on Sunday!  Kayleighx

STAYING SAFE IN THE SUN ♡

Image
Hi guys!! The past few days here in Manchester (and probably the rest of the UK) it has been so beautiful. The sun has been shining and temperatures have reached 25Âşc. From being very young my parents have always made sure i am protected from the sun. My dad grew up living in South Africa so he is very aware of the damage the sun can do. I think it has been drummed into me from all the years of being caked in sun cream that, being safe in the sun is important. A lot of people think they are to cool for suncream but you really aren't. Just because you are, lets say 16 doesn't mean that you won't get burnt. It also doesn't mean nothing will ever happen to you. One day in the future your past could catch up on you. So no matter what age you are stay safe!! My key tips for staying safe include: Always wear suncream. You may not think you need it but you do. The sun is very dangerous so you must make sure you have a high UVB/UVA sun cream and, that the...

Date Night And Cupcakes

Image
Hi guys!  For Christmas I made a jar for my boyfriend filled with all different types of dates. Last week he picked out the cinema date. So Yesterday we decided to cash in that date and go to the movies. We went to see Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. I wasn't looking forward to it really as I'm not a huge fan of Batman or Superman. Anyway it kind of surprised me. The frost half kind of bored me and then the second half had me totally gripped. Especially when Wonder Woman came into it. We decided to see it in IMAX however, it wasn't in 3D it was in 2D. I much prefer IMAX over ordinary screens as it is huge!! Before the movies we decided to go back into Sugar Junction however, i didn't take any photos as i only wrote a blog about it a couple of weeks ago. The following day (today) we decided to make some tasty vanilla cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing.  We know cream cheese is meant to go with red velvet but it is one o...

Sugar Junction | Vintage Cafe

Image
Hi guys!  Yesterday my boyfriend and i went into Manchester city centre. The plan was to eat at Gourmet Burger Kitchen however it didn't open till 12. I love GBK they have the best french fries ever!! i could eat hundreds of them and not get bored. It was 10:45 and we both felt sickly hungry. We'd been into forbidden planet which is a shop full of all sorts of things from pop vinyls to comic books. My boyfriend Tony bought his brother a birthday present and we still had time to kill.  I remembered that round the corner was a little vintage sort of cafe (which are my favourite)  called Sugar Junction . I had seen it advertised online so we decided to pop in. We initially went for a drink however pancakes were on the menu and they are my favourite food.  I ordered a hot chocolate with marshmallows on top. I love it when the marshmallows begin to melt and i can scoop them up on the spoon whilst they are runny (yuuuuuuuum). Tony ordered ...

Spring has NOT sprung | Snow in March!

Image
Hi Guys!!  It's March so on the 1st I text my saying 'white rabbits foot'. Every first day of each month me and my dad try to be the first to text or say to each other white rabbits foot. We have done this from me being a dot and i don't know why we do it really. I think it may have something to do with having good luck for that month if you say it first. I always like to try and win though because i am slightly competitive.... It's meant to be officially spring in a couple of week.  It defiantly didn't feel that way on Friday. I woke up to snow! It was so thick. 150 schools and colleges were shut in the surrounding areas. Guess what! Ours wasn't. Six of us turned up to college. Our college is near hills so we had more snow then most of the school that were shut. Transport was delayed and they eventually stopped busses to the city centre. I was happy to spend time with some friends though instead of being cooped up in...
