just be you.

Today I want to tell you that it's okay to be you.

I used to look at myself in the mirror everyday and absolutely dispies what I saw. Picking at every little thing that was wrong with my body and the way I looked. I went on diet after diet trying to lose weight and I just felt like I was being disappointed every single time. I didn't like eating infront of people and made me extremely uncomfortable when I did. Nor did I like drinking any type of sugary drink infront of anyone. It was on my mind 24/7. 

Now society doesn't even bother me anymore. Want to call me fat or chubby.. go ahead! It doesn't phase me one bit. 

I noticed that I'm only young and my body is going to change, so why should I be doing stupid diets when I could be having fun. If I want to have a McDonalds.. I'll have one. And I'll even be confidant enough to eat it infront of everyone. 

If you want to lose weight..for you, then go ahead. Don't just do it because you think it will make everyone else happier. Don't do it for a boy. Do it for you...and only you.

and this also goes for if you want to gain weight. Do it because you want to. Not just to make society happy.

If you are happy,healthy and comfortable... why should it matter what everyone else thinks?

If you are happy in your own skin.. you go girl and show your body off. Life is too short to worry about if your thighs or your bum is going to jiggle in something. 

and life is too short to worry about what society thinks. 

Be Happy. Be Beautiful and most importantly.. Be You! 

daily skincare routine..

Again another appolagy to say that I haven't been blogging as much as I should be. Lots of work needs to be done this year in school:/. 

To cleanse my skin I use the Simple Cleansing Lotion. I use a medium size dollop on a cotton wool pad and run it all over my face. I have noticed a massive difference in the way my skin has been after using this... It seems to make it softer and my breakouts don't seem to be that bad.

After that I use the Simple Facial Toner and again putting a small squeeze on a cotton wool pad. 

At the moment I have been trying out the Hydroluron serum. This carries up to 1000 times it's weight it water. I have noticed after using this my face has looked a lot more hydrated and plump. It's brightened my skin up and it's been really working for me. I do think my skin dehydrated but after using this it's now amazing. I use the serum after my toning.

I moisturise my skin with Garnier Moisture Match. I got the oily to combination so it gives me a nice matt base. I'm in love with this moisturiser... Not only does it smell amazing, it does an amazing job too.

Have a good rest of the week. :-)  

my day at alton towers.

I've never ever been to Alton Towers before and to be honest it was the most amazing experience! There is a new ride at Alton Towers called The Smiler.. which is why we decided to go.

As it was in a little village and twisty turny roads , we thought it was going to be really stressful to get there but it wasn't and well sign posted. 

When we got there we walked straight to nemisis to warm us up. There was absolutely no line so we walked straight on the ride. A mixture of anxiety and excitement rushed to me but before I could become anxious, the ride had started and I'm so glad I did it. 6/10

We then went on Air( weird&wonderful by the way). 10/10

Then came Nemisis Sub Terra. This was the worst experience of my life. First of all there was this dude shouting at us being a total idiot.. I giggled and he just starred at me and made me feel small and was super antagonising. They said it was like 'Nemisis.. In the dark'.. and I thought that meant the ride Nemisis in the dark. No.. No it wasn't. We sat in a circle and at first it was fun because it dropped down but then someone was screaming 'get out get out get out!' which made a start panicking. I had a panic attack and there was no way of getting out. People were touching me and I couldn't handle it. So warning to everyone... do not think it is nemisis.. in the dark:). 0/10

We then went on Thirteen which I was front row in and that was super cool. 8/10

~Rita.. which left my stomach at the start of the ride. 8/10

~Oblivion.. I was so nervous for this and I think it was because of the very steep drop. 9/10

come on! look at it! 

~The Smiler.. made me laugh all the way round which was a weird experience. Amazing ride and defiantly recommend it. 10/10

Then went on Nemisis&Air again. 

Finally for a nice end to the day we went on The Flume.7/10 We got soaked and it was really funny! 

All in all Alton Towers was absolutely amazing! Defiantly recommend it.. The only downside of it was I had a panic attack. 

Have a lovely day! ❤ 

primark haul ~ ish.

Whilst I was in Bournemouth I went shopping. It's a brilliant place... to shop and going to the beach. Bournemouth was just all round amazing.

It's such a beautiful place (Bournemouth pier).

When I was going shopping.. I see a massive Primark. You know when you see a Primark you just have to go into it. 

Just to say that not everything is from Primark... but the most of it is.

The floral playsuit&the Superdry pants are not from Primark.

This is what the floral boyfriend t-shirt(£5)looks like and also the disco leggings (£7) look like. 

I wanted a pair of disco pants/leggings for a while now but I didn't want to pay load for the American Apparel ones just incase they didn't suit me. 

The high-waisted disco legging are very confitable and I would defiantly recommend giving them a go. 

The boyfriend jeans(£7-sale) 

Tweety pie t-shirt(£6)

The type of jeans I normally wear are skinny. I wanted some difference and decided to go with a boyfriend style. Also style icon like Rihanna have been pulling off the whole rolled up boyfriend jean look,so I decided to give it a go. They were originally £14, which I didn't find too bad for a nice pair of jeans.. but then I go to the till and they showed as £7!

I've been really liking the baggy/boyfriend  style at the moment. 

This wasn't from primark but it's such a beautiful playsuit. (from a little market place in Bournemouth-£15) 

As you can see from the first picture.. there is a gorgeous mint green bag(£5). I absolutly adore the colour mint.. and this is just the perfect size for everything. Bargain! Also you can see the bright coloured hair bands(£1). 

I also saw a range of nail polish in there called Angelicia. Absolutly beautiful colours and I chose a glitter nails polish(£2.50) 

The colour is Spring Break. 

Thank you for reading and sorry for my lack of posts. Been super busy&sorting stuff out. Love you all.

By the way.. sorry for the font. My computer won't let me use my normal font or put my links at the bottom. Also i will be starting to use my d-slr camera again as the photos I've been posting are quite bad quality. sorry x 

How To Do 60s Make Up!

I'm not a professional at make up. I just love make up and I wanted to try it out. There are probably much better tutorials out there but this is just how I do a 60s make up look.


Step 1:

Start out with a heavy base as we want the skin to look absolutely flawless.(I look so happy..)

Step 2:

Contour cheek bones with either a matt bronzer or a contouring powder.

Step 3: 

Use a pale pink blush and apply that to the apples of your cheeks.

Step 4:

Use a champagne colour and sweep all across the lid.

Step 5:

 Use a black kohl liner and draw a line in the socket of your eye.. with a slight flick at the end.

On top of the eyeliner, put some black eyeshadow on it.. To make it look deeper and smokey.

Step 6:

 Get a gel eyeliner and wing it out on the top.

Also take some of the gel eyeliner and put it on the bottom lash line.



Step 7:

Add a lot of mascara to the top and bottom eyelashes. Also add some false eyelashes to make your eyelashes look full and fluttery.

Step 8:



Finally add a pale pink lipgloss and fill in your eyebrows strongly.

DONE!

If you enjoyed and liked this tutorial then I'd love it if you could try it and post them on instagram and tag me in it(meganrawlins) or tweet me(@megan_rawlins) .

Have a lovely monday!

I went shopping!❤

I went shopping today! yay! The reason this happened is because its my beautiful mum's birthday tomorrow and I literally had nothing to wear so I popped in new look and I really was expecting to find much but I found a whole outfit and I'm really pleased.

I bought a beautiful floaty netted crop top and don't worry it has a opaque black slip underneath. I just thought this would look amazing with the aztec maxi dress that I got because even though there is some pattern on the crop top I just wanted to make the outfit a bit more interesting. 

Also got some black wedges because they are quite comfortable and I don't have any wedges.

To add a bit of interest I bought some gorgeous earrings with a hoop and turquoise gems around the hoop with gold leaves and red beads hanging. these were in the sale and thought they were a great find.

 I also bought a real techniques brush from boots and I will definatly be reviewing that once I've given it a good test run:-).
