Hey guys!
So today I'm going to tell you who I find most inspiring and why I wouldn't be able to get through life without them!



Miss Talia Joy Castellano.
I first started watching her videos about a year ago and I'm so glad I did! Someone told me about her and ever since, she's been my role model. She was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma cancer on Valentine's Day in 2007. In 2012 she had neuroblastoma and leukemia at the same time.
The reason why she is such a big part of me and I wouldn't be able to get through life without her is because I have a hearing disability which I wasn't born with-I lost my hearing at 8 and the reason is still unknown. Without her encouraging words and beautiful phrase which helps her get through-'Just keep swimming' I wouldn't be as strong as I am today. I wish I noticed her earlier though to be honest as I have been bullied my whole life, so that would be one thing I'd change. Some people call her their inspiration but I can't live without her, honestly, she has helped me so much without even realising it! I hope one day she recognizes me<3.
A lot of people hate so much on her because of the amount of face makeup she uses everyday. Talia says 'makeup is my wig' as she hates wearing wigs because they make her feel fake.
It's just so inspiring how she doesn't hide away because of the cancer, she does YouTube videos featuring beauty gurus, vlogs, etc. She's inspired me to make my own YouTube channel which I will start soon hopefully. This young 13 year old lady has a bubble fun personality I just love her so much!<3


My mother<3.
My next inspiration is my mother as she has always been there for me when no one-even friends, haven't been. My mum has stuck by me my whole life so much that I just can't do without her! She's stuck by me through bullying and fights with me against these horrible people and never leaves my side. Every time something terrible happens and leaves me in pieces, she hugs me tight and tells me 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' <3
We're just like best friends, we do everything together, shopping, concerts, shows, everything! I love my mum and life just wouldn't be the same without her!

I hope you enjoyed my blog on my two inspirations and know how important they both are to me! Enjoy your half term beautifuls<3 love ya! xxxxx

The Body Shop is my favourite shop to buy make-up and skin care from. So today I decided to do a haul on all the items I've bought from there recently.





Next, is a concealer. But it's not just any concealer-This includes tea tree once again which means its better than normal concealers. It also gives really good coverage.
Lastly is my bronzer. But I also use it as blusher. It has pink in it aswell which I like because you've got a mixture of brown and pink!<3

Hey guys!
I went through my wardrobe and dug out all my favourite clothes! My clothes represent the kind of person I am, so I hope they help you get to know me hehe:)
Ahh I love this top so very much! I just have this thing about moustaches in which I love!

























One of my all time favourite crop tops<3 I just love how creative it is by putting numbers and letters all over the place onto it<3 It's adorable!





I love collared tops alot<3 but what I love about this one is that there's just a decoration on the collar and the rest is plain. It also has a bit of ribbon around the neck which hides under the collar and ties into a bow at the front<3 I love it!



This is the back of it, I first thought it was the front hehe but the tag always helps me know which side is the front :P

Hey guys!
Recently I've been thinking about what I want to do after school. For a few years, I knew what I wanted to do-Dancing. But then I was thinking, there's not alot I can do with that is there? The retirement age is very young so then what do I do afterwards? I want to do something that will last a bit longer.
I realised how much I loved to go see shows in London as I've seen quite alot and I love the idea of Musical Theatre. I've chosen to start singing lessons! So far I've had two lessons, and they're going so well! If I continue with that it could be something I could do at university. While I sang, my singing teacher played the piano, I was considering piano lessons aswell haha! I just love the whole idea of music! It made me realise why I never thought of doing these lessons when I was younger!
If you do a hobby and you think 'Yeah I love this, I want to do this after school!' Stop and think of all the other things there are out there for you to do. Try different things because you might aswell! If you don't enjoy it, then try something else. You'll never know until you try!
I hope you enjoy reading my blogs, let me know what you think and do tell your friends about me! :)

Hey guys!
Exams.. Stressful time of the year! Who agrees? :/
It's the time of the year when I've got quite a few exams coming up.. but they're not all to do with school!
In dance(at school) we've all had to create a 3 minute urban dance piece for our exam. We had to firstly pick dancers(which ended up being the teacher's decision) pick a song and choreograph a dance. All isn't so easy as it may seem.. The hardest part for me at the moment is teaching the moves I've come up with to the dancers. My choreography has four dancers, including me. I've picked my song choice which is 'Party Rock Anthem' Whoo! Coming up with the dance moves is easy, it's just the teaching which I find difficult. We have a couple more weeks to make sure we've done 3 minutes and also, perfect the routine. Wish me luck with this because I think I'm gonna need it!
A level dance isn't just dancing though. There's also quite a bit of theory work involved. We've had to write two essays, a fitness plan and a healthy dancer powerpoint presentation. We get two markings on these which means once we've done it once, we can do it again to make sure we get the grade we want.

I take another A level subject-English Lit. This is probably the trickiest subject as it involves a bunch of essays and books, and now we have the exam in two weeks time! Considering an E is a C in GCSE.. I'm a bit worried about this exam! All I can do is keep positive, revise and know that after this, it's summer time!<3
Putting school to one side, I go to a dance club outside school twice a week. I do ballet, tap and modern there. Around about June time, I have a ballet foundation/intermediate exam. There's so many steps that I struggle to remember them all! But it's not just the steps I need to get into my head, it's performing them well and using all the techniques required. My teacher has shouted at me a couple of times when performing the steps, saying what I need to do performance wise. I know she's only trying to help me get the best grade, but it also worries me that I won't do well.
These two pictures are of me with my certificates from recent exams:)
Just remember, if you're in a similar position as me, don't stress about it, take a deep breath and try your best, no one can ask for more than that. And keep thinking 'summer's after this!' Think of all the fun you're going to have!!<3

Thank you for reading my blogs it means alot<3
