Never underestimate the power of mom jeans

09:47


For as long as I can remember I have always had a very fussy and basic sense of style and there were always constant arguments when it came to mum dressing me in the morning as I hated anything slightly passed the fine line of my confort zone.
A couple of years ago I remember pestering my mum to buy me a pair of mom jeans as I loved how they looked on Cher Lloyd and I desperately needed some of my own until I got them them and I hated them seen as I didn't quite know how to style them and they just hung off me and looked completely unflattering.
To this day, I still have said pair of mom jeans in my wardrobe and I actually am quite fond of them, they are slightly more oversized than my current favourite pair but I love them never the less and I keep promising myself I am going to find a way of wearing them to my advantage.
I can't quite think how or why but suddenly at the beginning of 2019 I decided that mom jeans were the bee's knees and I have gained a slight obsession and quite the collection of them. I currently own five different pairs which I have already worn to death and a pair of mom-style dungarees which only cost me 5,99€ in Stradivarious, I know, I couldn't quite believe it myself!!
I don't want to make myself sound too smug, but I feel as though I have hit mom jeans (how many times have i said mom jeans) right on the nail, I have conquered dressing them up for work or making them just super casual and they are the comfiest style of jeans to wear so its quite easily a triple bonus wherever you may look at it.
When I first tried them I thought they made me look like a shapeless weirdo but now, adding a belt, a tucked in tee or sweater and a long cardigan or even a short bomber jacket I think they really suit my figure (check me out with all the self-love all of a sudden) but I also love how they look on almost all body size and type, I am in serious awe of these jeans!
Do you like mom jeans and what style of jeans is your favourite at the moment?

L is for Love.

19:41


I remember in year five I "loved" one of my friends. I was "so in love with him" and I wouldn't stop talking about him in class, messaging him on msn and hiding from him in the school corridors. Looking back and remembering it now I find everything about it hilarious but back then I took it so serious, yet I was so careless and oblivious it was unreal.
One year, I was probably about eleven, or twelve (maybe?), my best friend at the time Valeria, helped me build up enough courage to write this boy, lets call him Jake, a letter which I actually still have hidden away because of how obsessed I was over him, where I told him how much I loved him. It went something like this:

                         Hi Jake, there is something I've wanted to tell you for a bit now
                               but I'm scared to let you know because you are a great
                                     friend and I don't want to lose you. I love you.
                            I'm only telling you this to get it off my chest because I do,
                            I really love you but its okay if you don't feel the same way,
                                I understand it. Please don't let this change anything
                     because you're a great friend and I wouldn't change you for the world.


I know, awkward!
Once I spent a whole class hour writing this and re-writing it in the perfect font and spelling, I remember I gave it to Valeria to give to Jake between classes because I was too embarrassed to.
An hour later as I was walking into my last class of the day, which I remember perfectly was maths in the BD room, Jake walked up to me and gave me a letter back which was folded and he had drawn Jake & Ellie in a love heart on the front of it. Inside it, he had written something along the lines of:

Hi Ellie, don't worry because you won't lose me as a friend,
I will always be your friend no matter what.
Its okay if you love me but I'm sorry I don't love you back because I
love Rachel. BTW, Rachel has just split up with Richard so if you'd like
to show her this letter to make her jealous it'd be great.
See ya!
Hello Ellie, I'm Maria, Jake's friend.
Don't take any notice of what he says, Rachel is stupid and
Jake is worth so much better. I don't know who you
are so if you see me in the corridor please say hello so I can get to know you.
Good luck! Jake&Ellie.

Now, lets be honest, that letter is completely mortifying, what a horrible thing to say to me, but I took it like a pat on the back and didn't even care, I was over the moon that I'd got a response and I even "went out with him" days after this, although that didn't even last a week I don't think.
I have loads of old "love" stories and these are the best ones, these days everything is taken way too serious (lol).

My biggest fashion accessory.

19:30

          Fashion is not really one of my strong points, or favorite by that matter, although I really like it, I am probably more of a makeup person and the same outfit all week long (let's be honest, if you watch my vlogs, you know that!).
          If we are being 100% honest with each other I did just run through to the living room to ask my mum what my biggest fashion accessory is as if this is school homework!


          I am not much of a jewelry person or of a hat person by that matter so I would probably have to say that sun glasses are my number one! I have quite the stash although I do have my favorites as does everyone (I think).


          As with my fashion sense I am not very out there and "in your face" with the colours, I am more of a nudes / neutrals kind of girl although I am loving the new trend of sunnies with the colourful lenses like these in the photo (sorry, I am terrible at describing lol) although I sadly haven't got my hands on any yet!
          Another few of my favorite type of sunnies at the moment are the cat-wing style ones and obviously the rose gold ones (as I am a huge rose gold maniac thanks to Zoe!) although these silver ones are also gorg.




          What are your favorite fashion accessories or the ones you use the most?

My childhood memories.

19:00

          Today's topic is Childhood memories which is pretty ironic as I have just been sat playing around with my mums old camcorder watching old video footage of us all in the snow. Sadly I can't share these videos with you today, but that said, I am hoping to get them developed so I can share them to you on my YouTube channel sometime this year.
          When looking back at myself as a child all I can think of is Spain and being brought up here, I can remember my first day of school when Don Jose (my teacher) sat me on a chair in front of the whole class and introduced me to them. I also remember how much I hated school and how I would always refused to eat at the school canteen and my brother would have to sit next to me and persuade me.
          Me and my brother always had a really strong bond throughout our childhood, I used to spend every day with him and his friends getting into bother and mischief and I think that the only thing that distanced us was when he got his first girlfriend and he didn't no longer want his little sister following him around (obviously lol). That said, we still live under the same roof and we still love each other to bits, I think.


          This photo here, I believe, is the first ever photo of me and my brother as you can quite possibly tell as I look like *thinks for about 10 minutes* ... like a cute little newborn baby. Where as my brother, he looks like he is scared for his life, and most of all for his toys but never the less, he looks freaking adorable.



          I don't even know what to say... how cute are we though? I am totally loving my little 'bish whet?' pose and lets not forget about the little Wallace and Gromit body wash.




          Here are some photos of us on holiday in Spain, before we actually came to live in Spain.



          This is the photo my mum used to make one of my Birthday cards, for my sixteenth maybe, I'm not sure, but I'm full on paaaaaaaarty!


          Clearly this photo describes that toddler / munchkin / devil child phase of my life but how cute is my outfit?

BEWARE OF THE CUTENESS OVERLOAD!! 





          These four photos just describe our childhood and relationship to a T, except I would probably get tired of him and start crying, but at least we are cute.





           And here I am through my 'tomboy' stage where all I used to do was play with my brother, his friends and my dogs.



          My grandparents were also a massive part of my childhood and when I think of the word, or of memories, I remember my grandad, he is always a happy memory and a funny one and I will always miss him and love him.


Quickly before I go, I want to also introduce you to Spike, who along with Paddy (the black dog in the photos who we brought from England) was a massive part of my childhood and sadly passed away in 2014. Spike was the most loving, and caring dog ever, I couldn't of asked for a better pet and we all miss him ever so much.


          But okay, lets not get soppy. To end it off, just look at how adorably cheeky we look here, so freaking cute! I dare you to upload one of your childhood photos and tag me!

One of my happy places.

18:30

          Everyone has a 'happy place' or a 'calming place' and so one, so today I thought I'd a very low-key post showing photos of my happy/calming place. Sierra Alhamilla is a place very close to where I live where me and mum like to go to take blog photos, instagram photos and do a bit of hiking and exploring. I believe it is among the quietest, most peaceful places I have ever visited. Where is your happy place?

Tips for self-love.

12:00

If you're a regular reader of my blog you will know I am a massive fan of makeup, animals, everything copper, and among them and many more, I am a massive fan of self-love and self-confidence, so when Lizzy gave me the opportunity to collab with her I took it as an offer I could not reject, so with that said (written) I am going to crack on and tell you my five top tricks. 

1.- Self love and confidence means staying true to yourself always, don't obsess over what people think of you. Live life for yourself

2.- Never do something you're uncomfortable with, remember the rules you have made for YOURSELF and hold on to them.

3.- Accept others and that will make you accept yourself more than you could ever imagine, don't judge others.

4.- Inspire.

5.- Have fun and don't let anything or anyone hold the freedom you have for yourself back.

Please don't forget to check out Lizzy's blog and her opinion and perspective about this topic, you can check out her blog here!

Thank you so much for your time and take care!x

10 Cherry Cocktails.

16:00



As a pale skinned blonde person, I feel a bit drowned in dark colours such as blacks, dark purples and dark red toned berry colours even, but this autumn I've got a feeling I'm going to dare myself to wear this Bourjois lipstick. 


It is a dark berry coloured lipstick, in the tone "Ten Cherry Cocktails" which I actually love the name of, and as I said 10 seconds ago, I'm not a huge fan of a dark lip but this one just has something quite appealing to it.

What colour lipsticks are you bringing out and daring yourself to wear this autumn? Xxx

and

Carlo & Roman.

21:35




If you follow me on Pinterest, you will know I am a massive sucker for everything copper or rose gold, and I believe this is an obsession I caught of "Zoella".
While going through my makeup drawers last week, I came across three Carlo & Roman nail varnishes I couldn't quite remember being in my collection, but one of them being an amazing rose gold colour caught my attention along side of these two others.
After loving their nail varnishes as much as I do I decided to do a little research to find out what other products they have and to see if it jogged my memory to where I got these in the first place but sadly, nothing was found. Apparently, Carlo & Roman don't even exist as a company as only random men on Facebook have that name so "bishwhet" to that one. I am so sad to not be able to add more of their products (if any even exist) to my collection, so if you know of anywhere who do sell C&R products, please link me them in the comments or any other of my social medias. 
Ps; am I the only sucker for rose gold? XXX.

Zalfie. Chapter One.

17:47

As I wasn't quite sure what to blog about today, I thought on uploading a 'Chapter' of a Novel, a Fan-fiction, I'm not even sure what this is going to be. Don't worry, I am aware that I am no good at writing fan-fictions and it will not be a regular thing. 
Without further interruption, here goes! 

'Gooooood morning guys!' I hear Alfie roaring into his camera. 'I've just let Nala out, here she is, are you alright baby?' He says while stroking her head 'And now I'm going to just have a little cereal bar snack before I wake Zoe up and make us some breakfast.' 
'What time is it?' I manage to get it out of me, I didn't really know if I wanted to hear an answer, if he said seven I would be miffed that I had been woken up, and if he said eleven I would be miffed he didn't wake me up earlier so I could film my video.
'Mmmm, quarter past two' Seriously? What? I look at him and he is grinning at me with his cheeky little smile still with his camera turned facing him and then he laughs cuddling me 'I'm only joking, its quarter to nine, did you sleep okay?' 
'Your so stupid' I laugh covering my face with the blankets and we just lay there for the next fifteen minutes talking to his vlog until I am to desperate for a wee to stay in bed anymore. 
At half nine Alfie heads off to the gym with his trainer so I decide to have a bath while Nala takes her morning nap and then I film my 'Lush Haul Video'. 
'Gorgeous, I'm back and look what I brought you!' I hear Alfie shout to me from downstairs so I leave my laptop on the bed and go downstairs to see him. 
'Oh Alfie, you didn't need to' I say looking at all the cupcakes he'd bought me. 
'Now I really want to eat one but I can't because of the 90 day challenge.'
'I know, now poor old me is going to have them all.' I joke whilst wrapping my arms round his waist giving him a cuddle. 'Eeew your all sweaty and warm.' I laugh but I still don't stop hugging him, he wouldn't even smell bad if he was pouring with sweat lucky bugger! 
'What did you do while I was out?' He laughs giving me a kiss on the forehead.
'I filmed a video and I skyped Louise.' 
'Oh, I need to film a video before we go to mum and dad's!' he says looking quite worried.
'I know, I told you that last night.' I laugh looking at his face expression. 'Let's film one together then, we could do the 1,2,3 tag or something.' 
'Yeah, cool!' he says and I can gradually see that lovely smile appearing back on his face.
'Well, you go have a shower and get changed and I'll just change my top.' I suggest giving him a peck on the lips and he nods and gives me one back before heading upstairs whilst vlogging and takes a shower. 
After filming Alfie's video we head over to his parents house and we have our lunch there with them and Poppy, Sean and Buzz and after having a really chilled doggy afternoon with them we head off home and get to our beds.

I'm so sorry I cut the story short at the end, I was in a hurry and didn't know what I could put, what did you think? Maybe I will do an in-depth one about the day after, who knows? Tell me in the comments if you enjoyed it and if you would like to see more! Xxx

Easy & cheap drugstore makeup look.

21:49



Last Tuesday I was playing around with my makeup (as usual) when I came up with this look that I really liked and it was really easy to achieve so I thought I would share it with you!


To start of, and I'm not quite sure why I did it this way round, I used my ASTRA concealer to prime my eyes and then went straight in with the eye shadow. Using my Makeup Revolution London 'What are you waiting for?' palette and I applied the colour 'Take a chance' to my lid, and then applied a tiny bit of 'sex chromosome' to the crease and blended these together with my UD  brushes. For my lashes I used my Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara and applied the 'Normal' lashes from Primarni (aka, Primark).

Then I applied my holy grail foundation from Rimmel and I buffed this in with my Urban Decay foundation brush.


To my messy (horrible) brows, all I did was brush through them with my Loreal brow artist plumper.

Then to finish off I used my Minnie bronzer in the colour Terracotta and the W7 blush in the colour Galactic.
