Marc Jacobs Lola Perfume Review

Welcome to my blog,

I got it in the 30ml from boots for £39 but I used my boots card and got a discount can't remember how much of a discount it was though. The packaging so beautiful and the bottle I love the bigger size you go the flower changes so it has more colours in but I didn't want to spend that much on the perfume I just think it's super cute and I'd definitely purchase this again when I run out.

The boots website description says 'Marc Jacobs Lola is an intoxicating swirl of rich layers of fragrance that reflects Jacobs’ own vision of what is feminine and sexy. It opens with fruity top-notes of delectable bright pink peppercorn, seductive pear d’anjou and succulent ruby red grapefruit. The ultra-feminine heart is highlighted by the lavish fuchsia peony with soft touches of rose and geranium, while the base lingers on the skin, exuding a warm and seductive aura with enveloping notes of smooth vanilla, tonka bean and creamy musk. A bit flirtatious with a playful wink this captivating fragrance is the essence of the Lola woman.'

I definitely agree with it smelling fruity and it is quite a rich scent. I wear it for work and my colleagues do comment on the smell. It does last all day which I just love about buying perfumes because I hate buying one that just smells nice for a bit then disappears. It is definitely worth the price tag and you don't have to use a lot of it to make you smell good so it lasts longer. 

I've had it for a few months now and along with my Beyoncé Heat perfume it's my new go to every day perfume. If you go in to boots definitely smell this it's a lovely scent and hopefully you will love it as much as I do and buy it for yourself.

Taking My Life - Why It Never Happened

Welcome to my blog,

I have been suffering with depression since middle school year 7-8 one of them but I didn't know that's what was wrong with me till I got to college and broke down to my tutors telling them how I felt. My tutor booked me an appointment for the doctors and I attended and was put on the lowest tablets you could possibly get. 

Before this was all booked I tried telling my mum that I needed to see a doctor because I thought I had it and she turned around and said to me 'don't be so stupid' so I never told her I was on medication and kept it a secret. 

It all got to much for me and in my second year of college on a bus on the way home I broke down finally admitting to myself that something was wrong and that I finally needed help. Even though I knew I was unwell I never admitted it to myself. 

Eventually I felt like I had gone through so much that I wasn't getting any help, my boyfriend wasn't understanding and I constantly felt like crap. Waking up was a chore and going to bed was always a thought of how I didn't want to wake up.

So I tried to take my life, I felt like I was so close to doing it. I was talking to a friend I've known since I was a kid and just saying goodbye really. My biggest fear was/is trying to take my life and not succeeding and that thought alone terrified me I just didn't want to get it wrong. 

Anyway my friend ended up messaging my sister and my sister phoned my mum. My mum then came in to my room and I just broke down. Only then did my mum want to take my illness seriously. 

My plan never happened I knew what I was going to do and where everything was that I needed. 

People need to understand depression is not something you can just keep on going with. It's an illness that can emotionally make you do physical things. If you ever feel so low at all then you should go to a doctor and get the help needed. 

Depression does not make you weak and it does not define who you are. 

If  you live through it everyday it definitely shows how much of a strong person you are.

Decisions, Decisions

Welcome to my blog,

I work in retail and have been asked to move stores. The problem is there both very different I know everyone who works in the store I work full time in at the minute and not everybody who is in the other store. 

The problem is in the other store where I have been given the opportunity is that the way they deal with things feels a lot differently compared to the store I work at full time. The store also has a continuously moody woman there who just makes me feel like I don't know what I'm doing most of the time. She just pisses me off when this happens. The only good things I can pick out about this store is the fact that it's busy and isn't as far away from where I live compared to the store I'm permanently at now.

Is it right on me to turn it down and let my manager know I would like to stay at the store I work in permanently now and go the other store just when I'm needed. 

I just feel like it was so much to think about and so hard to make a decision but I only had one day to decide at least if I change my mind later on it shouldn't be to hard for me to let my manager know. But right now I feel like I have a lot more to learn before I can take on a bigger store.

Am I doing the right thing?

Level 2 Beauty Course At College

Welcome to my blog,

If you're thinking of going to do beauty at college but can't find out much information about it I hope this helps you. 

I only studied a bit of beauty but ended up dropping out just before Christmas due to struggling to get people in for the treatments.

The college I went to for level 2 we was studying makeup, eyebrows, eyelashes, manicures, pedicures, waxing etc... You should already know what your college course covers it should be in the description.

There's a lot more work to it and is harder than you think it would be. You have to learn all the treatments in sequence of how it is meant to be done and all of the techniques on how to perform each treatment.

There's a lot of coursework mainly to be done on the computer for assignments that need to be completed my advice is that as soon as you get an assignment start it straightaway so it doesn't build up as you can get given a few assignments at a time that need completing and it will help you in the long run. There is literally an assignment for everything.

The practical side of things for doing the treatments is a sheet you have to fill in and do the same treatment as many times as the piece of paper says you need to till you have completed it. 

Make sure you have enough people to come in for you to do the treatments as your tutors pop there head in to where you are doing the treatment to see how you are doing they do this more often than you think. Once finished your tutor inspects your work and looks at how long it took you to complete the treatment as there are time frames and you can fail for being to long or to short with a treatment.

My college wanted to have clients in that had different hair colour and ages to complete my course and with my family only being little I found it really hard to complete.

For the exams I only did 2 paper ones and the other exams are online although if you fail when you retake the online exams the questions are the same but I would just say to study and pass it first time so you have less work to do each time instead of all your work piling up on you.

As part of the beauty course there is also work experience that is needed to be done to complete your course whether you pick and ask the salons yourself or if the college do. Due to me dropping out way before we even got to this part of the course I did not take any part in the work experience but I do know it is part of your course.

The treatments are cheaper to have done in college than in a salon as clients are only paying for the products used.

Hope this has helped you out if you're planning to go and do this course and has helped you prepare for what to expect.

Story From My Past #2

Welcome to my blog,

So when I was in primary school we had 2 new girls join our school. I told them about the boy who lived in the bell tower and ate chocolate and I got told off for it because I scared them so much that they didn't want to come to school, even though I got told to tell them by the other kids in class everyone in school knew about it and we all thought it was the truth. 

Basically in school we had a bell on the roof that was broken and then the stairs that led down to a basement type cellar thing and every lunchtime we would go to that part of the school and drop chocolate bits down to where we thought the boy stayed, so we dropped it down watched where it landed took a step back and looked back down to see it had been gone. 

Our theory was he lived under the stairs and only ate chocolate and every day at midnight he went under the school through the cellar bit and up to the bell tower to ring it at midnight. Bear in mind we would have been in bed at that time and wouldn't of even heard it but we where certain that's what was happening because we thought we had seen him standing by the bell tower eating chocolate.

We must have been in year 4/5 so we where young and gullible to believe all of this kind of stuff, but yeah I got told off and had to say sorry even though I told them the truth.
