Some Good Music

Hiii:)

So today I thought I'd share some songs that I have been listening to a lot recently. It is currently midterm time at my university, and I find that listening to music is a great way to take a break from my studies. I can't listen to it while I study because I become so focused on the music instead of my work and I get nothing done. So instead I listen to it when I need to take a breather. I have narrowed it down to 15 songs (which was actually very difficult) and here they are:

Song title- artist

1) Chocolate-The 1975
2)Tennis Court- Lorde
3)Trouble- Ray LaMontague
4)A-Punk- Vampire Weekend
5)Wrecking Ball- Miley Cyrus
6)This Love- Maroon 5
7)Here Comes The Sun- The Beatles
8) These Streets- Bastille
9)Come on Eileen- Dexy's Midnight Runners
10)Beast of Burden-The Rolling Stones
11)Lets Make It- AC/DC
12)Best Song Ever- One Direction
13)Wake Me Up- Avicii
14)Berzerk- Eminem
15)The Wire- HAIM


These are in no particular order, and my taste in music is a tad random, but if I like a song then I like it, it doesn't matter what genre it is! I always enjoy reading posts like this. I find it interesting to see what kind of music people listen to, so I hope you liked this one :)
What music have you been listening? Let me know in the comments below,
and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

May Favourites


Hiiii :)
As you are all aware, May has ended and we are already a few days into June. This means that it is time for my monthly favourites. I am going to include anything that I have really enjoyed this month, and there is no specific category.

First, I want to start with two items that I have worn a lot over the course of May. First there is my Sleek makeup palette in storm which I purchased at the beginning of the month. A few of the Youtubers I watch have mentioned these palettes and I wanted to try one. I am glad I got it because it is wonderful! It is kind of difficult to see in the picture, but I definitely use the more neutral brown/gold shadows more. I have worn this for the majority of the month and the colour payoff is amazing! It also has good lasting power.  The palette comes with both shimmery and matte colours which I really like as well. It is not only amazing quality, but the price was phenomenal as well! I had to order it online but the total was just under $13 (and that includes shipping).
 Another eyeshadow that I had to include is the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. I bought about two weeks ago and it was worth every penny! The colour is so pretty, and it's neutral so its perfect for every day.I usually just wear it alone because I like the way it looks. It literally lasts all day! I went out with my friends last week during the day, and then I had a soccer game in the evening. When I got home this eyeshadow was still on.
I just love both of these items!


Another favourite that is in the cosmetics category is the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream. I don't like having a lot of makeup and stuff on my face, so this was perfect! It's very light yet it evens out my skin and makes it look nicer. I don't really need a lot of coverage, so this is a great product for me because it isn't super thick.  It also has SPF 30 which I really like because my faces burns quite easily, plus it is oil free.  I usually wear it any time that I'm leaving the house.

A few weeks ago I also bought Biosilk Silk Therapy Conditioner. Usually this product is close to $20 which can be a bit expensive for conditioner. I went to winners though and it was only 10 bucks so I got it and I am so happy I did! My hair can get very frizzy, especially in the summer months. When I started using this it really helped with the frizz and made my hair feel a lot softer. It also has a fantastic scent. It just makes my hair feel amazing and much healthier. The bottle is quite large too, so it is lasting a long time which is always good! :)

For music, my favourite would have to be the new Bastille CD. You may remember this from one of my previous blog posts about the new albums that I purchased. I have been listening to this pretty much nonstop all month! The album is just amazing and perfect for any mood that I'm in. It is just perfect in every way!



My favourite movie for this month is the Lorax. I have watched in numerous times and I never get sick of it! The music is perfect and it is just so cute. It had a good message and it is a very well done movie. Plus Zac Efron is in it (well his voice) and I just love him! I got it for only $10 which is a great deal. If you have not seen this movie I would definitely recommend it!
My final favourite for the month of May is my Pink Floyd shirt. I got this shirt in May as well and I love wearing it. First of all it is super comfy and it's nice and loose. The material is thin so it is perfect for the summer, and the back has neat rips all along the back. Plus there are cool studs on the shoulders. I got it from Urban Planet and it was a great price. I have been wearing it a lot and it just makes me feel a bit edgy!
Well those are my favourites from May. Feel free to leave any of your thoughts below, or let me know what some of your favourites were. I hope you all have a fantastic day!

My Newly Purchased Albums

     Hiiii :)
     The other day, my friends and I went to the mall to purchase some birthday gifts and some other necessities. We had walked the length of the mall and were about to turn around and walk back to the other end, but we saw HMV. For those of you that don't know, this store sells music, movies, games, etc. Going into this store is very dangerous for me because there is no way for me to leave without buying something. I have very little self control:P I am aware that many of you probably just prefer to buy music online, but personally I like to have an actual hard copy of the CD, so I love going into this store!

     We entered the store and I spotted a CD that I really wanted to get. I then saw another and this went on for a while. In total, I bought five CD's.... I just couldn't help myself. I purchased the following:
  • To Be Loved- Michael Buble
  • "Bad Blood"-Bastille
  • All the Little Lights- Passenger
  • Right Place Right Time- Olly Murs
  • Love Actually Soundtrack 

     I absolutely love each CD that I got, and they are all so different from each other.  The ones that I have definitely listened to the most are Michael Buble's and Bastille's. I have loved Michael Buble for a very long time, and whenever he releases a new CD I get very excited. I love listening to him sing, his voice is so smooth and perfect!  I absolutely adore "To be Loved"! It is so wonderful and it puts me in an instant good mood! Although it is so hard to pick a favourite song, I think I will have to choose Who's Lovin' You. It has been stuck in my head since I got this CD. I am very pleased with this disc and I am so happy that I bought it. It is one of those CD's that you can listen to in any mood!
      "Bad Blood" by Bastille is so very different from Buble's album yet it is just as wonderful. I heard them for the first time a few months ago when I saw someone do a cover of one of their songs on Youtube. For me, this is such a great album for spring and summer. My favourites would have to be Pompeii and Flaws. I love listening this album while I'm driving, windows down and music blaring. The songs are all very catchy. Most of the songs are upbeat, although there are a few slower ones, such as Oblivion. This is definitely and album that I will love for a very long time.
     For a while I have wanted to buy Olly Murs' new CD. Since he is a British artist, his CD came out later here in Canada than it did in Europe so I had to wait patiently. I am so happy that I was finally able to get it because his songs are just so upbeat and make me want to dance. Sadly I have no dancing skills and I do look quite silly, but it is just so much fun:)
     All the Little Lights by Passenger is very good as well. The songs are all fantastic. It is nice to listen to when I am just sitting in my room reading or something. It is very relaxing, and I just think he has the neatest voice! I have been listening to this a lot as well.
     The fifth album is the Love Actually soundtrack. This movie is honestly amazing, I could watch it over and over again and never get sick of it! I do love the music in it, so when i saw this CD on the rack I picked it up right away! I think the music in movies is so important. It helps make a scene come to life, and the music for this movie is perfect. I love listening to this album, it makes me happy and reminds me of some of my favourite parts of the movie.

I do not regret buying any of these CD's because I know for certain I will get good use out of them! I would recommend all these albums as I love them all. If any of you have new (or old) albums that you are enjoying, let me know about them below:)
