DEAR MILEY CYRUS...

Two words.

Miley Cyrus.

I've tried to reserve judgement on the former

Disney star who still reminds me of Hannah Montanna,

 but upon seeing photos from her 'Bangerz'

World Tour, I feel like I have to say something.

I know Miley will never read this but still...

First things first, I like her new music, she's 

found her style and it works well for her, and I'm glad

that in terms of her music she's found her calling.

That's not a problem at all.

What I don't understand is why she feels the

need to dress the way she does.

Miley is such a beautiful girl, and she really,

really, really doesn't need to dress the way she is

doing at the moment. She calls it 'art' but to me

it's a lack of self respect and some serious self

esteem problems.

A girl will only dress like that when she needs

that attention fix. That approval from the opposite sex.

Or in Miley's case, publicity. Getting your assets out on

display is a sure fire way to get the attention

you crave and thus that self esteem boost fast.

You're getting that attention but not because the

person likes who you are inside, or because they

think you're beautiful or worth something, it's because

your literally offering them the petty things they

secretly desire on a plate, knife, fork and ketchup too.

When you dress like that, people see a lack of self

respect and thus treat you with a lack of respect.

They treat you like an object and they sure as hell won't 

take you seriously.

 I don't know who Miley dresses like that for,

but if it's for herself she deserves to think more highly

of herself than that. Miley, you are worth

so much more than that, you don't need to flaunt your

body off to such an extent and wear all 

those provocative clothes.

What are you trying to prove? What do you need

to prove?

I of course don't know Miley, and I understand

she has her reasons for why she does what she does,

but as one girl speaking to another girl,

I just wish she knew that she's worth so much more than 

that. She doesn't need to be all marijuana smoking, chain

wearing, minimal clothes wearing, sexual gesturing etc.

for people to like her music or respect her as an artist.

She's degrading herself when really she needs to honor

herself. So please, dear Miley, go put on a stunning gown,

make your beautiful eyes pop, walk and hold yourself 

with grace and poise, be sexy if you want but do it with

a subtle allure, put your tongue away and smile,

treat yourself with the respect, dignity and class you

deserve. 

You owe it to yourself .

Adore You

A RETRO LOVE AFFAIR

Wasssssup homies?! 

*inset complex, bad ass hand gestures and a

swing of a glistening gold chain*

It's yo' home girl here. 

I'm in the mood to post some pretty photos

that I found on tumblr of retro things, because quite simply

I just love retro things, and I want you too

look at them and rave with me too about just how cool

and awesome and groovy retro is.

I can be a bit of a nostalgia lover at times,

and I get these cravings to wind back the decades and live,

if only for a day, in each one.

Maybe it's because in this day and age 

what defines us is not really that desirable or cool

or quirky or interesting, and we're so rich in diversity anyway that

it's kind of impossible to find a specific stereotype to define

this decade and the last one.

So here's to retro and all things cool and nostalgic

and funky dunky monkey.

I know you're probably like woaaaaaah dayum girl 

HOW MANY PHOTOS?!?!?!?

But trust me- I could easily go on ;)

GLAMOROUS LADIES

I'm a sucker for vintage fashion and beauty and icons

and out of all the glamorous ladies

this world has ever produced, there's a couple who

I think are utterly fabulous and they are:

1) Marilyn Monroe
2) Audrey Hepburn

3) Grace Kelly

4) Elizabeth Taylor 

and here are some awesome photos I found this

morning when I should've been doing important things,

like preparing for uni interviews or college work.

But eh, don't mind me, just yoloing it up.

:)

BANGING OUT THE BEAUTY TIPS

Now I can't believe that I am actually giving

some beauty tips, me (if you knew me in real life, aside from

my cool internet persona *wink wink nudge nudge* you would understand).

But this morning I was drying my hair,

as you do, when all of a sudden all these beauty tips started coming to me, and I was like 'need to get this out somewhere',

and nine hours later,

here we are.

And I've named this post

'BANGING OUT THE BEAUTY TIPS' which I think

goes to emphasize my earlier point, that I am really not a beauty expert.

But oh well, here goes....

NUMBER ONE

So this stuff is pretty cool, even though I don't know

how to spell it and had to rely on Google spell check to help me out. My tip for Sudocrem is this...

PUT IT ON YA SPOTS.

The last few days I've been sprouting a miniature version

of the Himalayas on the bottom of my chin and 

pulling 'the scream' face in the mirror in absolute despair.

What could I do?!

Well my friends, I turned to my trusty little pot of Sudocrem

and slathered it over the little red minions on my chin.

As soon as I did that I got a tingling sensation,

the tell tale sign that whatever

it is you're using is doing something, and what do you know...

This morning I got up, looked in the mirror

and my Himalayas had been significantly reduced 

and my chin was smoother than an iceberg in the Antarctic, and the inflammation had ceased to exist. 

Incredible.

You can also apply it over your spots to give a smooth & even base on which to apply foundation too!

And it's only £2.55 at Boots! 

COR BLIMEY.

NUMBER TWO

Now this stuff is free, AND it actually does help.

I used to mentally tell people to shut up when they

quacked on about the miracles of water, but then I actually

had a crack myself and I hold my hands up: it's true,

water does actually do stuff (good stuff).

So my first tip is number one, 

DRINK IT.

On average I drink just over 1.5 litres a day 

and it's actually not that hard.

In fact, it's kind of tasty in a weird way,

and trust me, you feel much better after drinking

water than you do after drinking coke or booze or whatever.

GO WATER!

My second tip is

WASH YA FACE WITH IT.

Don't invest all your money in fancy creams or washes or slush to whack all over your beautiful face, because there's really

no need to spend 5 or 6 quid when you could

spend nothing. 

When I became a teenager, I would be buying new products

every week to combat the ever increasing number of spots protruding out of my face, and let me tell you now,

NOTHING WORKED.

Then I started splashing cold (or lukewarm) water on my

face every morning and night, and hey presto, what

do you know, it actually made a difference!

YAY!

___________________________________________

NUMBER THREE

So I'm pretty sure all my friends swear by this stuff,

and every day someone utters those mortal words

'has anyone got any Vaseline' without fail.

I myself don't use it all the time, whenever I possibly can,

but I do applaud it's many benefits. 

For starters

SLATHER YOUR LIPS WITH IT

(Especially in the winter when they get drier than the Sahara)

GROW YOUR EYELASHES WITH IT

and what I mean by that is use a mascara brush,

dip it in the Vaseline or smooth Vaseline onto your lashes,

and then spread out your lashes with the brush

in the same way you would do with mascara.

And voila, look at those babies elongate.

You needn't fork out the doh on mascara

when you can spend near enough nothing on Vaseline! 

Ahhhhh the cheapskate life....

_______________________________________________

NUMBER FOUR

I love this stuff.

E45 Cream is just simply fab fabbity fab,

especially when you're an unfortunate sufferer of dry skin syndrome (wahey, fun times).

Now an obvious tip is to apply this so that you don't

dry out like a sponge and resemble Spongebob Squarepants

minus the water, but I have a different one I want to share...

USE THIS TO GET A DEWY GLOW.

When you have dry skin, and you're all set out to

replenish the moisture in your pores, you'd normally

slather enough on so that you remain relatively moisturized

for the majority of the day.

BUT, you can be moisturized, or you can be dewy, 

and dewy is what all the fashionistas slave away for.

Dewy is just the right balance between oily

and dry, and when you have dry skin, you can achieve

this easily because you can control how moisturized your face appears.

 To look dewy, you want to apply a light cover of moisturizing

cream to your skin, and you want just enough so that the light gently caresses and reflects off the apples of 

your cheek, but not so much that you look like you've just ran the London Marathon with a sneaky triathlon thrown in there for good measure.

Next time Vogue snaps you up for it's front cover,

there's no need to thank me ;)

I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY TIPS!

HAIR CRUSH: LORDE

I love cool hair.

Just gotta put that out there.

Have an afro, I'm loving it.

A giant spike? Raving.

Mohawk, dip dye, rainbow hued, super long, crazy curls, 

silky straight, coiled, I don't care, 

I love it all.

Especially because my hair is super duper boring. 

It's brown and it's relatively straight,

minus a few waves hidden in the depths

of my mid length mane.

So for someone who suffers from sucky straight hair syndrome,

it is fairly obvious what kind of hair

I love and want for my own.

As always with hair, you want the exact opposite

of what the good Lord (I promise you that

isn't a pun)gave you.

So if your hair is straight, of course you want curly, 

and vice versa.

And my favourite type of hair,

is a curly wurly lions mane of twists, coils, spirals

and waves. Basically, I want Lorde's hair.

I mean c'mon, isn't it just amazing? 

And I used to have hair like 

hers when I was teeny tiny, but puberty swept in 

and changed all that.

And now I have boring hair.

I know, it's a terrible tragedy.

But back to what I was saying,

did I mention that I also want to be Lorde?

Because she's the same age as me, and she is so much more talented than me.

So much so that I want to climb under a rock and eat

Galaxy chocolate continuously

for oooh at least 24 hours to make

 myself feel better.

It's a tough life.

I'll be back when I make a single

and it has 7 trillion views on You Tube

and is no1 on the Billboard Charts

and my hair is curly.

LORDE, ROYALS 

(AKA. perfection)
