Current Playlist

Music plays a predominant role in my day to day life, I've always got my earphones in or blasting music round my house. As it's half term I've been travelling a lot and all those train, bus and car journeys have caused me to use my iPod a lot, so I thought I'd share my current playlist.

1. Ariana Grande - One Last Time

 This isn't my usual type of music to go for but this song is just so catchy and I've had it on repeat way too much. Grande really is a damn good singer.

2. Twin Atlantic - Fall into the Party 

My friend got me Twin Atlantic's Great Divide Vinyl for my birthday because she knows how much I adore them, and I've literally had it playing all the time. My family are sick of hearing me play this album now, Fall into the Party has been my favourite from the album since I saw Twin Atlantic late last year, I miss the vibe of that gig so much.

3. Lower Than Atlantis - Emily

I heard this on Radio 1 a while back and it was just one of those songs that I instantly liked and downloaded straight away. It's the only song I know by Lower Than Atlantis so I'm up for any suggestions of their other music in the comments below!

4. Alex & Sierra - Little Do You Know

Again, not my usual type of music but there's something about this song that I just love. I've also come across some amazing covers of this song on YouTube.

5. Sia - Elastic Heart

Sia literally has one of the most amazing voices ever, there has been a lot of controversy around Sia recently because of the video to this song and because of her refusal to show her face during interviews and performances. Personally I think Sia's work is great, I love how she doesn't want the spotlight to be on her, she wants people to focus more on her music and hence why she doesn't show her face. I don't think it's rude in the slightest, sure it might be a bit weird to not face an interviewer but that because Sia's not conforming to what we're used to. On a lighter note, can we please just appreciate how talented Maddie Ziegler is in both Elastic Heart and Chandelier, that kid has buckets of talent.

6. Don Broco - You Wanna Know

Listen to this and love it.

7. The XCERTS - Pop Song.

I definitely have a thing for Scottish bands, no shame. The Xcerts were Twin Atlantic's supports act when I saw them in 2014 and I loved them so much! Definitely give them a listen if you haven't already.

8. James Bay - Scars

My friend introduced me to James Bay a few weeks ago and I think I'm a little obsessed with his voice. This is definitely my favourite of his along with Hold Back the River and If You Ever Want  To Be In Love.

9. Mcfly - Love is Easy

Old but gold.

10. 5 Seconds of Summer - End Up Here

Not so guilty pleasure. So excited to be seeing them again this summer!

Lush Haul

Someone needs to refrain me from Lush any time of year but especially in winter when I usually have more baths and therefore splurge out on many more bath goodies. A Lush sale on boxing day could not go amiss so I was soon filling up my basket and grabbing the last of the Christmas selections.

Father Christmas - This one is definitely my favourite, you simply pop it in the water and watch it work it's magic. As the bath bomb starts to dissolve a very christmassy green begins to emerge and this is the colour your bath ends up. It smells amazing and left my skin feeling so soft.

Magic Wand - I've already vowed to buy this one next Christmas because it's just so good! With this one you just put it under your running tap or swirl it round in the water and it creates bubbles. The best thing about this is you can use it again and again, it lasts such a long time and if you're a fan of snow fairy then I'd definitely try this out because it has a very similar scent.

Butterbear - I wasn't too sure when I bought this because the scent wasn't one that i was drawn to but i wanted to give it a try. I'd say it has a bit of a vanilla smell, it doesn't do anything fancy to your bath like most of the other lush bath bombs but I'll definitely be buying this one again. It made my skin feel so soft and amazing, I didn't even need to bother moisturizing when I got out of the bath.

I've been unsure whether I should post this or not as these are some of the Christmas range from lush however I figured they often sell these products year after year so this may be relevant for future reference. I would love to hear your favourite lush products in the comments, and I would be happy to hear any recommendations.

My 2014

This post may be slightly late but seen as it's only the 4th January I thought..why not! 2014 has been a huge roller-coaster of  a year for me, I'd probably class it as my best but also my worst year. This blog has now been running since the summer and with a poor 2 posts since then, 2015 is definitely the year I want to take this a little more seriously.

After many lows nearer the start of the year and the stress of exams taking up my entire life until June, I then got to have one of the best summers yet, absolutely nothing to worry about and so much time on my hands, it was the most happy I'd felt in far too long. From summer onwards has just been getting better and better.

I'm not one to usually make New Years Resolutions, purely because I never stick to them and therefore don't see the point in them, however this year I definitely want to progress with my blog and post more regularly. What are your new year resolutions?

 This was just a short quick post to wish you all a very happy new year and I hope 2015 is a good one! I thought I'd share a few photos to sum up my 2014.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Amy xoxo
