CHESTER ZOO | GIRAFFE EXPERIENCE

Image
Where It All Began! Hi Guys! It was my Nanna's birthday in August so for a gift Tom, Tony and I all put to for a giraffe experience at the Zoo. She absolutely adored it. She was able to feed the giraffes and learn new things about them. One being that Giraffes have a blue tongue. This being because, in Africa they have always got there tongue stuck out eating. When it was pink it would often get sunburnt however, evolution  took over and made it blue so, that it repels the sun and they no longer have sun burnt tongues.  I find that very interesting.  We visited the zoo last week. It was only My Nanna, Grandad and I  as everyone else was working. The zoo isn't to far away from where we live and is called Chester Zoo. It's such an amazing zoo. They are always finding ways to improve the animals habitats and also ways to make the whole day better for those who visit. The animals have very large enclosures and you c...

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 25ºc. 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...

Top 3 Foundations ♡

Image
Hi guys! Sorry i was unable to upload a blog on Sunday i was crazy busy getting together the last bits and bobs for my competition which was on Monday. Any way instead of me about to go on a huge rant i will write about what i planed on writing about. I have tried a lot of different foundations over the past few years but there are three which i really love! So me being me, I want to share them with you. I am not a lover of my skin as i tend to get really dark under my eyes, which i hate so much. I drink plenty of water (thats if the cats don't get to my glass first) and i also get plenty of sleep so I'm not sure why they won't go away!! Due to that issue i tend to go for the high coverage foundations. Don't get me wrong, i love light coverage however, i only tend to wear them if i am having a good skin day. Many of you will know what i mean by having good and bad skin days as we all have them. So any way, onto my favourites.  My all tim...

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...
