Snapshot: 19th July 2016

This is a bit of a throwback but I totally forgot to post about this!

I spent this day with my friend, it was the warmest day here in Ireland in forever. I felt like I was in a foreign country, the sun was shining and we went to see the coolest temple and had a chill day/short road trip!

I love doing things I've never done/seen before. I have such a big list of things I wanna do here in Ireland! (Maybe I'll post about all those sometime!)

We left in the afternoon and headed towards Castlerock to the Mussenden Temple. When we got there it was the most gorgeous day and the temple it self was so gorgeous! In the pictures you can see there's not a cloud in the sky and on the beach below everyone was sunbathing and it was so busy. We walked towards it and there are the coolest things to see (I'll post pics below). The temple itself was so gorgeous but I loved Downhill House! It was so crazy to think years ago that the temple was a library and modelled on a temple from Rome. The whole grounds were gorgeous and definitely something worth viewing!

When we were up at the temple we realised we could see Portstewart from it and decided to head that direction next!

We parked at the end of the promenade and walked along while I caught some more pokemon and made my friend stop at every pokestop! It was the most beautiful day and we stopped for ice cream and ate it on a bench before we headed back home. It was a really amazing day and I definitely want to head back soon!

HERE'S a short 7 second clip of how gorgeous the field was.

Favourite Ways To Pass Time...

I haven't had much spare time lately.. Especially as I did 60 hours over time last month. Hello money!!

But.. Saturday at 7pm was the start of my 17 day break from work. I'm unbelieveably excited to just do nothing :)

I've been having a few lazy days since and thankfully I've managed to be off when there's some good weather here in Ireland. What's the chances!

So far I've been spending my lazy days catching up on tv shows, watching a lot of youtube videos, online shopping, or should I say browsing, and reading so many blog posts and therefore adding items to my want list.

I've fully embraced the hermit life! 

I thought I'd update you all on some of my favourite corners of the internet to enter and spend a whole lot of time you didn't mean too.. (I'm pretty much a pro at this!)

1. YouTube

This website must take must take up so much of my time. I watch so many vloggers/daily vloggers which means a lot of catching up on the daily. I really like to watch so many different kinds of videos. When it comes to beauty of course I love Jaclyn Hill, NikkieTutorials, Jeffree Star, Patrick Starr, Manny MUA and so much more. In lifestyle I love Zoella's videos and her vlogs. For all other kinds of videos I love Caspar Lee, ThatcherJoe, Josh Pieters, Oli White, Pewdiepie, JackSepticEye, Syndicate (especially his vlogs) and so many more!! I spend so much time watching vlogs and being genuinely jealous of their lives.

2. Tumblr

This website I love for looking up cool aesthetics, find awesome artwork and edits. I always look out for cool ideas for my blog here and looking at cool ways to take photos and inspiration!

3. Clothing Websites

I love shopping for new styles and just looking on sites to see the newest items. My favourite websites that I usually end up rotating on a daily basis are ASOS, Missguided and Boohoo!

4. Instagram

I could scroll on here all day, to be fair I still don't know how I feel about instagram stories, but I love going on people's feeds who spend a lot of time of their theme! I always try to have a great theme but it never works and basically annoys me haha! I'm trying to up my insta game.. Follow me HERE.

5. Netflix

Oh my. I can spend hours bingeing tv shows. Lately I've been keeping up to date on Power (unreal) and Pretty Little Liars! Power is so amazing and has me hooked, thankfully Netflix have been updating the new episodes every Monday as I definitely couldn't wait until season 3 finished! Pretty Little Liars is on the last season and I feel like I'll be missing out if I didn't finish it as I've been watching for the last seven years but it definitely is losing my interest. I feel like they should be narrowing down who A is not introducing new characters/old characters back!!

6. Pokemon Go

Admittedly, I haven't been gracing the outside world with my presence lately lol, the hermit life is for me. But when I'm out and about I love catching pokemon, I'm determined to level up more as I've seen so many people over taking me lately :( I also need to hatch so many eggs!!

So that's the lazy day activities I've been up to lately. Constantly switching from my Phone, iPad and Wii U haha, making the most of my time off! 

I also might become a pro at Mario Kart 8 in my days off... Let me know some of your favourite lazy day activities and anything I should be doing on my time off!

Top 5's of 2015!

Ok, so I'm a bit late to the game here as it's like a week into 2016 BUT I really wanted to do my Top 5's of 2015. It's been a cool year and here's some of my favourite things!

Beauty & Make Up:
1. Soar lip liner (Mac). This guy is my forever faithful. It's my go to for every look!
2.Twig Lipstick (Mac). Goes perfectly with Soar and is always a perfect everyday shade for me and I wear it out all the time. I've my last one down to the bottom and I need a new one asap - absolutely one of my favourite lipsticks ever!!
3. Nivea Mens Aftershave Balm in Sensitive. <3 Best primer and never breaks the bank - what more could you want?!
4. Primark Eyelashes. They've such a variety but intense and sultry are my favs!
5. Lightscapade (Mac). This is one of my favourite highlighters as it works for me in winter when I've paler skin and in summer for a casual highlight. When I'm tanner and want that disco ball feel I love I grab my Soft & Gentle!

Albums (top 7):
1. Blurryface. This is one of my favourites ever and Twenty One Pilots never disappoint. When I seen them in August this album sounded amazing live!
2. American Candy. Duh. The Maine have been one of my favourite bands since I've been a teen and anything they put out always has a special place in my heart but THIS ALBUM. This is definitely one of my favourite things they've ever released! Yes. (Also they just released 3 covers.. You gotta check them out too!)
3. Worlds Remixed. My love for Porter Robinson goes unmatched. His Worlds album was 100% my favourite album of 2014 (and basically most of 2015 too as I listened to it over 700 times on spotify this year?!) but this remixed album gives Worlds a revamp and is a really fun listen!
4. Little Machines. Lights is one of those artists I just love. Anything she releases is amazing and this album is the same. It's a great listen from start to finish and the bonus songs are some of my favourite she's ever released.
5. Happy People. Peace's first album was one of my favourite albums ever but this one tops it! I couldn't get enough of it and I can confirm live it might just be even better!! 

6. Every Open Eye. If you thought CHVRCHES first album was good this one is amazing. I've just been listening to it from back to front since it was released!

7. Bieber's new album has to be mentioned too.. So many good songs!
