Paloma Faith Concert

Hey its's been a while but i have been having a bit of a hard time with my frame and so didn't really feel like talking, but don't worry i am back on track! And going to see one of the most beautiful human beings ever such as Paloma Faith really helped! My boyfriend and I went to see her at Newcastle Metro Radio Arena on the 14th April and i can honestly say she was the best performer i have seen so far. 

The tickets where a very reasonable price and the disabled seating could not have been better, we where in block 103 and we got a chair for Nathan to sit on and then a space for my wheelchair. I was worried about going in my wheelchair as the concert was sold out so i thought i would struggle moving around, however i was so surprised everyone one from the staff and just other Paloma Faith fans where very helpful with opening doors and telling me where to go.

The supporting act where called Vintage Trouble and even though we had never heard any of their music they where still really good and just easy to listen to and watch! They where on from 8 till about 9.

 

 And then came out Paloma I don't think i can even describe how good she looked! The best thing i liked about her was how down to earth she is and she believes everybody should express there own voice! She sang 15 songs and then did a encore of another 3 songs, you defiantly got more than your money worth, i didn't want her to stop! I think my favorite song she performed would have to be New York as it is one of her first songs she ever did, everyone new every word!
Over all i would most defiantly see her again and i know am even more obsessed with her than i already was xo

Like always i wheeled into Superdrug and i couldn't stop myself from buying some makeup! While being off and not being able to work i love taking my time and trying out different makeup looks and watching videos and reviews on all different types of makeup. 

The first thing i really wanted to get where some eye shadow sticks. I have seen loads of beauty gurus

 raving on about them and that most makeup brands are starting to bring them out. The first brand i wanted to try where the Barry M, eye shadow Pencil in NO.2 (£3.99). Its a beautiful gold color and looks lovely on the inner tear duct as it just pops! As like all eye shadow pencils they are lovely and creamy and so just glide on! I then seen that GOSH had brought out some, called forever eye shadow stick (£5.99)! All the colors are a metallic shade and waterproof and when they mean waterproof they mean it i found them so hard to get off. I got two colors the first one being light copper and then plum, my favorite is the plum as it has some gorgeous gold and silver specs of glitter, i think i like these two better than the Barry M and I am defiantly going to go back and get all the other colors.

I have also being loving a nude/brown bold lips, so i wanted to try and find a good lip combo. The week before i went to Sheffield and so had to have a little look at the mac counter, i picked up this beautiful brown lipstick with gold tints in 'O'. To make it stay on for longer i wanted a nude lip liner i just went with a cheap natural collections one in 'almond' as it does the job! I also seen Barry M where doing a new lip product called a Gelly Lips which is just like lip crayon, i love the shine they give you and they had some really pretty colours.

When doing your makeup it is important to have a good foundation and at the moment i have been loving my two new foundations. I wanted on which had full coverage so i decided to take the leap and finally get a MAC foundation! I went with Studio Fix Fluid in NW13, I really like this foundation as it does make my skin flawless and quite matt. The only bad thing can say about it is its smell it kind of reminds me of paint but i can live with that i think its a defiant must for everyone's makeup collection. I also really wanted to try the new maybelline dream flawless nude as i have heard so many good reviews and omg it is amazing! When you put it on your skin it feels so silky and soft, it also gives me pretty good coverage to but still has that natural look to it! I would defiantly recommend getting this if you like your foundation to be really light as its brilliant and for only £5.99 a bargain. I went with the lightest shade which is still a little dark for me but still works great! Very impressed

Lets talk contour! 

I have been desperate to try both of this contour products the first is the BeautyUK contour pallet it is three cream to powder shades to help you achieve flawless contour and i can defiantly say it does i love the too brown shades as they are not orange like i find most contour colors the lightest shade is great to highlight and to tidy your eyebrows up! At only £3.99 I think it is better than some high end products.

  I also wanted to try the Sleek  Face Form palette in Light it is great dupe for the Urban Decay contour pallets and also the blusher which is included in the pallet is a fab dupe for Nars - Orgasm. I think the highlight and blusher in this palette are so pretty and perfect for a Spring makeup look. I like the consistency of the powders as they feel pretty silky. I also bought a bronzer highlight from Superdrug for only 99p and i am so impressed it looks really good when the light catches it on your cheekbones defiantly well done Bodycare! xo

Tips to stay positive

Hey guys :)

This is a bit of a random post today but i hope it helps anyone who is reading this! While dealing with PFFD, disability or any struggles in your life it can be hard to keep positive and remember all the good things that may be happening in your life. Here is just a few tips that i have found to be helpful!

I love having positive quotes and pictures around me to help me keep motivated. The small things in life mean the most and just sticking up a picture of where you would like to go on holiday or your dreams and ambitions will help you stay focused and help you achieve them. 

My favorite quote of all time, right next to my biggest inspiration Katie Piper xo 

 For example i have some happy quotes i keep around my room to read for when i am having a bad day with my frame. I also have a picture of the Eiffel Tower as my mum and dad have promised me that when my surgery is over they will take me and my boyfriend back to Paris. By knowing this it makes every crappy day or pain worth while :)

I bought all my cards from Paperchase for about 60p each.

You are all beautiful xo

PFFD - Check Up

Hey guys, i have some good news!!

I had a hospital appointment yesterday at Sheffield Children's Hospital just for a check up and for once I got some good news! It's been six weeks since I had last been for a check up and there has been some good progress. I went for an x-ray and it was very clear that new bone had started to form, as what was a gap there is now a white blur there :) I went to see Mr Fernadas and Laura they where very pleased with me and said my x-ray looked and my knee was bending better. They then came out with "I think at the next appointment in 6 week we will make a date to get the frame of". Me and my mum just both looked at each other in shock with our jaws at the floor. We never expected them to say that as we thought it would be ages until my frame came off, I am so pleased with this news! To make my frame weaker they took a couple of parts of to make my frame off this means that I will able to put more weight on it, so the bone heels even more!

Im going to be doing a lot of walking in the next six week to make sure i defiantly get this frame off!
I will keep you all updated, have a great weekend :) xo

My idea of baking :)

I'm not gonna lie i probably prefer eating the cakes than baking them but i did make some really cute Betty Crockers Vanilla Cupcake Mix the other day and they where delicious! I do love baking when i have nothing else to do and its great if you aren't able to get out the house! 

All you need to make these cupcakes are the mix, eggs, water, butter and oil.  You will also need a baking tray, bowl and either a electric or hand mixer! 

 Pop this bad boys in the oven for 15-17 minutes

To make the strawberry butter cream just add the pre-made icing mix with 60g of butter and 2 tsp of water!

The finished product........

  so yummy

 Hope you all are having a good day, go treat yourself and make some cupcakes they could be for valentines <3
