Hello everyone and welcome back to The Curious Case of K.J.Crockett!
In today's post, I'm going to be talking about one of my favourite make up products. Blusher. For some of you, blusher may be a waste of time, and you don't see the point in it. My aim in this post is to turn those thoughts around, and show you how a little bit of blusher can complete your everyday make up look.
One of my favourite blushers at the moment is the Estee Lauder Pure Colour Blush.
I'm a huge fan of Estee Lauder products, and their blushers are close to my heart. The colours are absolutely stunning and even the packaging is beautiful. The colour I have, "Pink Kiss", is slightly too dark for my pale complexion, so I can't go overboard with it. If I apply it nice and gently with my Real Technique Blush Brush, it makes my cheeks look all lovely and pinky, and ironically, looks like I've had a "Pink Kiss".
If your not wanting to go too overboard with blusher, a really nice subtle blush is the M.A.C Pro Long Wear Blush.
M.A.C is probably my favourite make up brand ever, and their Pro Long wear blushes are so beautiful. They're not too heavy to apply, and they give your skin a nice, skin-finished look. I have it in the shade "Stay By Me", and it is gorgeous. They do have a heavy price tag attached, but my opinion is that it is totally worth it, as it's such a high quality blush.
If you have a tight budget, and still want to get a good quality Blush, I highly recommend the Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush.
This blush is absolutely beautiful. It gives a stunning, cheerful glow to my cheeks, and it doesn't make you look like a barbie doll. I have it in the colour "Pink Rose", and it is gorgeous. The packaging is light and compact as well, so is very useful for those of you that either do a lot of travelling, or have a small make up bag.
I hope you guys have enjoyed this post. I certainly enjoyed writing it.
Every time I look at the number of readers I have, I am amazed. There are so many of you, from all over the world, and you don't understand how much it means to me. I'm just a weird, 15 year old girl from England, who likes to write about her passion for make up. I never thought when I started this blog, that it would be read and enjoyed by so many people from around the world. I just want to let you guys know that I love you all, and you guys are what keeps me going.
Until next time,

Drugstore Make Up Starter Kit
Hello everyone and welcome to The Curious Case of K.J.Crockett!
So in today's post, I'm going to be listing my favourite Drugstore Make Up. I know that quite a few of my readers are in there teens, and I thought this would be a really helpful post for those of you who are just starting up their make up collection, or who are wanting to know some good brands in your local drugstore. I might have mentioned a few of the products in my previous post, but that was mixture of High End make up and Drugstore make up, where as this post is purely about the Drugstore brands.
Here in England, we call it a High Street Shop, but in most other places around the world, people refer to it as a Drug store
Foundation
My favourite drugstore foundation has to be the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation.
It gives an amazing coverage, comes in a variety of skin tone colours and with a cost of only £7.99, I think it is an amazing price for such a brilliant foundation.
Concealer
Like I said in my previous post, my all time favourite concealer is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. It is an utterly fantastic concealer, and I feel it is a must have for any of you who are starting out, and finding the right products for you.
Powder
My go to drugstore powder has to be the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. It compliments your skin really nicely, and it keeps your foundation in place.
Mascara
The best mascara of all time has to be the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. It gives your lashes great volume, doesn't make them go clumpy, and it multiplies them beautifully.
Eye Liner
For eyeliner, I had to pick the L'Oreal Super Liner. For most beginners, eye liner can be a little tricky to get right, but trust me, practise makes perfect, and this eyeliner is brilliant for those of you who are new to makeup, or even just eye liner. It's a lovely Gel Liner, that makes your eyes stand out amazingly.
Eyeshadow
Now, as you all know, I am a very big fan of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes for my eye shadow, but they are on the higher end of the price scale, and I know not all of you will be able to afford it. A brilliant substitute for the Naked Palettes is the MUA (Make Up Academy) Eyeshadow palette called 'Undress Me Too'. The colours in the palette are absolutely beautiful, and are perfect to get that smokey eye look.
Blusher
The best drugstore blush is the Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher. My favourite out of all of them i the colour 34, Rose D'or, as it gives your cheeks a lovely, peachy glow and it compliments your make up look beautifully.
Bronzer
One of my favourite bronzers from when I first started my make up collection is The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder. It gives a wonderful contoured look, and if you apply it right, it gives your cheeks that amazing 3D look.
Lips
You can give your lips a variety of different looks. Bold red, dainty pink or a Natural nude. I'm going to suggest 3 lip products for that variety.
For the Bold Red, I have to go with the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in the colour 107. This is a beautiful dark red and is perfect for any occasion.
For Dainty Pink, I have chosen the Barry M lipstick in the colour Pretty Pink. It is a gorgeous pink lipstick, that I feel will suit most skin tones, and will compliment any outfit.
Finally, for the Natural Nude, I have got to choose the Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in the colour 206. This lipstick looks absolutely stunning on whoever wears it and is the perfect nude lipstick.
Brushes
I'm unable to choose one brush in particular, my go to brand for Make up Brushes is Real Techniques. All of the brushes I have used from this brand have been absolutely amazing, and there is pretty much a brush for every step of make up I can think of.
I hope you guys have enjoyed this post, and I hope it helps! Leave any requests or suggestions down below in the comments. I'd just like to say a massive thank you to all of you, as I now have 50,000 readers! It means so much that my blog has gone so far, and it has reached so many people from all over the world!

My Top 10 Beauty Must Haves
Hello everybody, and welcome back to The Curious Case of K.J. Crockett!
So, today I'm going to be talking about my favourite subject. No, not food. Make Up.
Now, I never like to categorise myself, but I have to admit, I am a bit of a girly girl when it comes to Make Up. Clothes wise, I'm pretty much a Tom Boy, as I like my jeans all ripped up, my favourite pair of shoes I own are my Converse.
My blog has a wide range of different types of readers. Some are people I know, and some people I don't know. When I looked the other day, I now have over 3,000 viewers, which seems completely insane, and I have quite a few readers from foreign countries as well, such as Russia and Ukraine! So if you're reading this, and you're from those countries, or any other countries in fact, Hello to you. Anyway, lets get back to the subject.
**Disclaimer**
Before I start, I just wanted to say that I am in no means trying to brag about the products I list/own. A few of them are high end, but these are the products that have suited me, and my extremely sensitive skin. Some of the cheaper alternatives have not suited my skin, and caused me to have break outs, rashes etc. I am not saying that you all must have high end products, because High street brands are just as good, but unfortunately, they just react with my skin.
Here are my top 10 beauty must haves.
No. 10 - The Body Shop All-in-One Insta Blur Primer
Out of all of the primers I have tried and tested, this is the one that stands out to me for being the best. It makes my make up stay on a lot longer, and it's not that expensive either. I highly recommend this to any of you who are looking for a good primer.
No. 9 - Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
Real Techniques is one of my all round favourite brand of make up brushes. When starting up your make up kit for the first time, it can be quite tricky deciding what kind of brushes you should get and the ones that suit the way you want to use them. Real Techniques is a really high quality brand with an amazing range of brushes, and has an affordable price tag. Probably the most essential out of all of there brushes is the Expert Face brush. You can use this brush for so many stages of your make up. Your foundation, your concealer, contouring. I even used it for blush once. It's an amazing brush that I feel is an essential in anyones make up bag.
No. 8 - Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
I have heard so many positive reviews on this mascara, so I just had to try it out, and I was not disappointed. I find it really easy to apply, and it doesn't make my lashes go all clumpy. It gives them a nice volume and it multiplies them nicely.
No. 7 - Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Before putting on any eyeshadow, and must have essential is a eyeshadow primer/base, to keep the eye shadow at bay. My favourite primer has to be the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. It goes onto the eyelid extremely well, and one thing I like about it, it's colourless so that it won't clash with whatever eyeshadow colour you choose to wear on top of it.
No. 6 - Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess
I find it really hard to find a good bronzer that suits my skin tone, as I'm as pale as a white wall. I've tried so many brands, and haven't been able to find the right one. That is, until I tried Estee Lauder. Their Bronze Goddess bronzer range is perfect for anyone who can never find a bronzer light enough for them, like moi. One thing that really annoys me about people when they apply bronzer, is that some people never blend it in that well, and it just looks like a big orange slug on your face. The thing with Bronze Goddess is that it blends in really nicely, and gives you a nice, contoured cheek.
No. 5 - Real Techniques Beauty Blending Sponge
Now I know some people are a bit wary about using blending sponges. I was to begin with, but when I used mine for the first time, I was amazed how well it blends in my face products. Like I said previously, some people never properly blend their contouring in, and it just looks dreadful. If you find it hard to blend things in, I highly suggest investing in a beauty blending sponge. It's a real life saver, trust me.
No. 4 - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
Loads of online beauty gurus have been raving about this product, and I can see why. This concealer is the best in the business. It does pretty much every skin tone I can think of, and it does a really good job on blemishes, and dark under eye circles, that I can never get rid of. It's at an affordable price and easy to get hold of. What more could a girl ask for?
No. 3 - Urban Decay Naked Palettes
When it comes to eyeshadow, we all have that one brand that we keep going back to, because we love the palettes they do. For me, that brand is Urban Decay. Their Naked Palettes are my favourite ever eyeshadows. I couldn't choose just one of them. I currently have Naked 1 & 2, and they are the best in the world. You have so many colours to choose from, it's unreal, and the quality is amazing.
No. 2 - Foundation
I couldn't decide on putting just one foundation in my top 10, so a decided to but a few in, as I love them all so much. First, is the NARS Sheer Glow foundation. It's such a great foundation. It does take a while to blend in, but once blended, your face looks so utterly gorgeous. Second, is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude Foundation. This gives such good coverage, and it lasts all day. For a high street brand, it's a great foundation. Last but not least, is the L'oreal Paris Infallible 24 hour Stay Foundation. It applies on really well, and has a great consistency, It lasts for ages, and is a great foundation.
No. 1 - MAC Velvet Teddy Matte Lipstick
In everyone's make up bag, we all have a favourite lipstick we wear every day. Mine is the Mac Velvet Teddy Matte Lipstick. Mac lipsticks are renowned for how brilliantly amazing their lipsticks are, and I love all of their lipsticks that I own, but Velvet Teddy has to be my favourite. It's the perfect dark pinky nude shade for my every day look. It compliments my make up perfectly.
So there we have it, boys and girls, my Top 10 Beauty Essentials. I hope you enjoyed it.
I've decided to take a slight new direction with my blog, and to base my posts around Beauty and Make Up. I hope you stay with me on my wonderful journey that is my blog.

The A-Z of Katy
Hey Guys! Sorry it's been soooo long since my last post. I've been having to deal with some personal issues, to do with my Mental Health.
So, as you can tell from the title of this post, I am going to do an A-Z of me. I got this idea from the gods that are Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil. No, i haven't forgot how the use the space bar on my laptop. These two boys are my favourite EVER Youtubers. If you haven't heard of them before, feel free to check them out. I'll leave the links to their YouTube page at the bottom of the post.
Anyways, lets get on with the post.
A - Apple
Yup, you guessed it. I am one of the biggest fans of Apple Products. Now some of you guys may totally hate Apple, and that is your choice and I have nothing against that, but much to my Dad's bank account's dislike, I love their products.
B - Bacon Crisps
Everyone has their favourite flavour Walker's crisp, and mine is Smokey Bacon. I always bring a bag into school and have some at break time. The only downside about this flavour, is that when you have one packet, all that you can taste and smell in your breath for the rest of the day is Bacon...Luckily, Tic Tacs were invented.
C - Charli XCX
I am pretty much obsessed with Charli XCX's music. My favourite song would probably have to be Break the Rules. (Yes Mum, that is the song I am constantly blaring out from my speakers).
D - Domino's
Like many teenagers around the world, Pizza is my favourite food, and a Pizza isn't a Pizza if it isn't from Domino's. I'm very boring when it comes to Pizza, my favourite topping is just a plain Cheese and Tomato, but Oh No, not just any Cheese and Tomato. It has to be an 8 slice, stuffed crust with extra cheese.
E - Elephants
Ever since my big sister Rosie gave me a cuddly toy elephant when I was like 3 years old, my collection has expanded to over 100...
F - Facebook
I could literally spend my whole life on Facebook. I am pretty much a Facebook-aholic. Some people may think this is bad...meh.
G - Green Day
Probably my favourite band of all time. Know Your Enemy, Wake Me Up When September Ends, 21 Guns. There's a Green Day song for pretty much every situation. Not to mention Boulevard of Broken Dreams, which pretty much my life story put into a song.
H - Harry Potter
I am probably biggest Harry Potter fan you have ever met (or if you don't know me personally,you know of). You should have seen me when I went to The Making of Harry Potter last summer with my Mum. I was fan girling like a 5 year old.
I - iPhone
I am literally glued to my phone 24/7. If I do not feel a phone-shaped bulge in my pocket (I know some of my readers will take that in the wrong way), I have a mini heart attack, thinking something tragic is going to happen and no one will be able to contact me (I know I'm not the only one *Sam Smith quote*).
J - Jessie
If you follow me on Snapchat, Instagram or any form of social media, you will know that I am completely obsessed with my beautiful dog Jessie. She is the most gorgeous creature to walk this earth, I love her so much! Just look at her!!!
K - Karaoke
Everytime I get the house to myself, I go onto YouTube, and do some Karaoke, and pretend I'm performing at Glastonbury. Whether I'm shaking my booty like Beyoncé or being soulful like Sam Smith, I love singing.
L - Laptop
If I could, I would take my laptop with me everywhere I go. It's my portal to the Internet and things I couldn't live without, like Netflix and Youtube. It's like having my whole life in an object.
M - Make Up

M - Make Up
I have a passion for makeup which I cannot explain. I just love it. I love all different types, makes, the whole lot. In my makeup draw, I probably have enough foundation to last me a lifetime. My favourite brands include Mac, Nars, Urban Decay, Rimmel, Benefit. I could sit here all day naming them. I do have some very exciting things happening coming up to do with Make Up and my Blog. You'll have to keep your eyes peeled.
N - Netflix
Netflix is love, Netflix is life. That is all there is to say.
O - Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time is simply the best TV series there is. I love it so much, it hurts. It's about fairytale characters living in modern day town. There is a lot more to it than that, but if you wanna know more, you know what you must do. It's extremely addictive, don't say I didn't warn you. If I can't persuade you to watch it, I'll let Captain Hook do it for me...
P - Pizza
*See letter D*
Q - Quiche
For some reason, I am slightly addicted to Cheese and Bacon Quiches..I don't know what it is about them, I could just live on them.
R - Ricky
Like Jessie, Ricky is one of my gorgeous dogs. I love him to pieces! We adopted him in March this year, to be a companion for Jessie. He is just utterly gorgeous...
S - Sleep
I could literally sleep all day, every day. My bed is my easiest Hello and my hardest Good Bye.
T - Television
N - Netflix
Netflix is love, Netflix is life. That is all there is to say.
O - Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time is simply the best TV series there is. I love it so much, it hurts. It's about fairytale characters living in modern day town.

If I can't persuade you to watch it, I'll let Captain Hook do it for me...
P - Pizza
*See letter D*
Q - Quiche
For some reason, I am slightly addicted to Cheese and Bacon Quiches..I don't know what it is about them, I could just live on them.
R - Ricky
Like Jessie, Ricky is one of my gorgeous dogs. I love him to pieces! We adopted him in March this year, to be a companion for Jessie. He is just utterly gorgeous...
S - Sleep
I could literally sleep all day, every day. My bed is my easiest Hello and my hardest Good Bye.
T - Television
Like the majority of people my age, I spend a lot of my time watching TV. I love all different types of shows. I love Big Brother, Next Top Model, Eastenders, The Simpsons etc.
U - Urban Decay
Like I said in letter M, I love make up. One of my all time favourite brands is Urban Drcay. Some people may not of heard of Urban Decay, as it is a High end brand, and it's not one of the brands you can buy in your local Superdrug or Boots. I highly recommend this brand for those of you who can afford slightly pricey make up.
V - The Vaccines
I absolutely love a band called The Vaccines. They're amazing! I'll leave a link to they're Vevo page down bellow.
W - Worrying
As I suffer with an Anxiety disorder, worrying about things is my second nature. I worry about stupid little things which to some of you, may seem stupid. The most common thing people tell me to do is 'Just stop worrying'. To me, that is like telling a deaf person to 'Just listen more carefully'.
X - ?
I literally cannot think of a thing I like that begins with the letter X...
Y - Yelling
Being a hormonal, nearly 16 year old teenager, yelling comes easy to me. Just ask my parents...
Z - Zzzzzzz......
*see letter S*
So, that brings this post to a close. Again, sorry it's been ages since my last post. Nearly a year (!). I plan on posting more this year, but please bare in mind that I do have my GCSE's coming up, and I do have to revise.
Until next time,
Katy x

It's been a while...
Well hello there internet. As the title says, It's been a while...... I'm so sorry I haven't posted in while I've been busy with school, social stuff etc. So I thought I would update you with stuff in the life of moi.
So, the last time I posted was in January... That feels like such a long time ago. So much stuff has happened since then, it's unreal. 2 Relationships, exams, arguments, and just stuff in general. But I won't bore you the nitty gritty parts. Just the exciting parts.
So, Valentine's day, I spent with friends, playing Portal 2, eating Ben and Jerry's, which was fun, until one of them came along with their boyfriend, so that spoilt the 'singles day'. I ended up, curled up in a corner, eating a Chinese Takeaway.
In March, my best friend Hannah and I set up a YouTube channel. We filmed a few videos, but when it came to editing them, we realised they had no sound... We've been meaning to film them again, but have never come round to it. When we do eventually, I shall let you know. For now, you can follow us on Twitter 'BeautyTeenQueens'.
Also in March, I got involved with my local radio station 'The Voice' which my dad part owns. I am now a correspondent on the Saturday show 'Out of Bounds'. If you live locally to me, tune into The Voice, every Saturday 11-1:00pm. I love doing it, Me, Deb and Toby are the correspondents and the presenters are Steve and Adam, but us teens take over most of the show. Steve and Adam just control the decks.
In the Easter Holiday, I did lots of thing. 2 birthday parties, 2 sleepovers and one very exciting thing. I went to Cardiff with my sister and saw McBusted. They were AMAZING. We were quite close to the stage, and at one point, James from the band was throwing T-Shirts into the crowd, and we caught one, after fighting over it with other people. Dougie was so close, it was unbelievable. FYI, Dougie is my favourite.
So in less than a weeks time, on April 25th, I say goodbye to being 14 and say hello to being 15. Half way to 30. I'm looking forward to it. Having a sleepover with 3 of my girlies on the Friday night, and on the Saturday, having a BBQ with the rest of my girlies and 2 of my guy mates. It's gonna be great. Had my birthday present early this year. A PS4 (thank you daddy).
So yeah, that's been the interesting parts of my life in the last 3 months. The other stuff is just the boring bits, and stuff I don't wish to post on the internet.
Until next time,

One For The Girls
Hello there blog world. Katy here.
Wow, i've actually kept my promise to you and managed to write a post once a week...Something must be happening to me.
Today, I decided to talk to you about what constantly seems to be on my mind, and the majority of teenage girls. BOYS.
Just for a general update for my blog readers, I am now a single pringle. I'd rather not go into detail.
In this post, I am not going to be talking about the hot boys in my year at school because:
A. Only the people at my school that read my blog will know who I am on about
B. Those boys, by some miracle, might be actually reading my blog.
So, instead, I decided to talk about boys in the public eye, boys that people have heard of, that's if they haven't been living under a rock for the last 5 years or so.
Zac Efron
If you guys were like me when you were little, you all wanted to be the future Mrs Bolton, and sing and dance through the halls of East High, whilst looking into those handsome blue eyes. Damn you Gabriella. Now, he is probably one of the sexiest men alive. With that one almighty six pack, like my mum says, I wouldn't kick him out of bed.
Channing Tatum
I first discovered Mr Tatum after watching the heart breaking Dear John. I have been fan girling over him ever since. That Magic Mike performance? Well, all I can say is I hope I have a Channing Tatum look alike at my hen night. (Mum, if you're reading this, please take note).
Taylor Lautner
Man, this werewolf boy has had me hot under the collar ever since I saw him when he first had his hair cut in New Moon. Imagine being Bella from Twilight. Having to choose between Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson?! I don't know about you, but I don't think I would be able to choose.
Whilst on the Subject of Twilight...
Robert Pattinson
As I said previously, who could choose between Robert and Taylor?! Robert turned vampires from scary to sexy. I was talking to my sister the other day and she said "When I was your age, vampires were scary and everybody hated them. Now, every one wants to marry them and have their children!".
Aston Merrygold
JLS may be a distant memory for some, but not for me. I have seen them live twice. Aston is the known favourite. He is the youngest, and the most sexiest. When he waved and winked at me on the 2012 '4th Dimension' tour, I pretty much passed out on the spot. Just ask my Mum and friend Danielle.
Nick Jonas
When the Jonas Brothers where at there peak in popularity, all the girls at my primary all loved Joe. But me on the other hand, loved Nick. Everyone called my crazy, and said "Nick? Ewww". I think I can read the future of something, because look at him now...
Dave and James Franco (I can't choose between them)
Just imagine marrying one of the Franco brothers. You have a god damn sexy husband, and you also have a fine looking brother in law at the same time. Bonus!
Chris Evans
Captain America himself. I had to put him in my list because every time I see a picture of him or watch Captain America, my tongue hangs out like a dog. Also, this one is for my best mate Hannah (Love you Banana).
Unfortunately, I have to come to the end of this post. If I was to sit here and list all the sexy men out there, I would be here until I was in my 50's. I'm sorry if your celebrity crush isn't on my list. Like I said, I couldn't list every one. *sigh*
Until next time,

A Reflection of 2014
Hey there Bloggers, Happy New Year! (this is so late, it's uncanny). It's been a few months since we last spoke, it's quite sad. Sorry for my absence, I have been enjoying myself over the festive period, by repeatedly watching both Frozen and Elf, whilst stuffing my face with Chocolate and my mum's delicious homemade sausage rolls.
Well, it's the new year, it's new me...... STOP! All I see over Facebook is this whole 'New Year, New Me' stuff..It's bullshit. You can have a new you whatever time of the year. Okay, rant over.
So, for my first Blog of 2015, I thought I would look over the past year and do A Reflection of 2014. Let's do it chronologically, and do each month.
January
Well January 2014 was a month of change for me, I joined Pilton. I was really nervous, I only had a few friends there and my boyfriend of the time. Every one knew me as the 'New Girl'. It was horrible. But on my first few days, I met my what I call 'Friends for Life'. Hannah, Cara and Emily. My now friends for life has grown, but these are the girls I met on my first day/week.
February
Nothing really happened in February really...I settled into Pilton well. Ohhhh, I had my first Valentine's Date. I went to go and see the Lego Movie in the cinema and then had a candle-lit dinner in Pizza Express. Even though that relationship went down in flames (*cough* Taylor Swift quote *cough*), I had to admit, that was probably the cutest date I've been on to date.
March
Again, not a lot happened...All I really did in March was prepare and pack my whole house up as I was due to move house in the next month.
April
This has to be the best month of the year, as it has my birthday in it. (April 25th). April was another month of change for me, as I moved out of a village which I have lived in since I was born. My parents decided to move to Fremington, to be closer to our local town, Barnstaple, as before, I was pretty much living in the middle of nowhere, in a small village, Berrynarbor.
Unfortunately for me, we moved 2 days before my birthday, April 23rd. But the good thing is my friends and I on my birthday filled my bedroom floor with some bubble wrap, and boy can I tell you, all you could hear from my room for the next half hour or so was the pleasant sound of teenage girls giggling with the sound of burst bubble wrap.
May
Now this has to be a month I will never forget, I had my first heartbreak. But on the lighter side, I went on a amazing trip to Wales to visit my auntie and uncle, and I had the enjoyment of having one of my best friends join me.
June
All I seem to remember from June 2014 was our school sports day... I remember being really bored, having to sit with my then tutor group, which has non of my friends in it, and me then sneaking off the my now tutor group which has 3 of my best friends on it, and then suddenly I heard being shouted through the megaphone 'Would Katy Crockett please go and see Mr Powell immediately'. I knew as soon as I heard my name I was in deep shit. My tutor shouted at me for what seemed like ages, and gave me a detention for sneaking off.
July
Ahhhh, the month of freedom. I always want this month to go as quickly as possible, with the thought of the summer holidays at the end of it. I remember the last day, all of my tutor group were sitting in our tutor room, staring at the clock and waiting for final bell to sound. In my head, I was repeating the word 'Summer' every second, a bit like in High School Musical...
August
The blissful taste of summer. How I long for it to be that time again. I remember going down to Ilfracombe, which is an hours bus journey away from where I live, to see my mates, every day for like two weeks. In that time I had two relationships...Those summer nightssss *starts going into Grease medly*
September
Ugh, the dreaded hatred of going back to school. Even worse, I was starting Year 10, which has the added pressure of GCSEs. September 2014 seems to be a bit of a blur for me. I just remember dragging myself out of bed every morning (which I still do now), and hoping and praying to go back in time to the summer, where I stayed in bed until like 1:00 in the afternoon.
October
Again, this month seems to have rushed by. My highlight was probably my Halloween party. Me and Mates had a fancy dress party at my house. The best part about it was probably us all playing hide and seek in Fremington. At the end, it was me and my mate Charlotte on our own, with the rest of them trying to find his. We were running around in the dark, and the weather wasn't too great. We even hid in someone's driveway, and the front automatic light turned on, and the other's still didn't find us.
November
Probably the best thing that happened in November was a trip down to Exeter with one of my best mates Hannah. We went into the Hollister shop, nearly tripped over a mannequin as it's so dark in there, and nearly fainted when one of the fit Hollister models said hello to us. Also, I fulfilled my dream and met Monty the Penguin from the John Lewis adverts.
And Finally...
December
My favourite month of the year (CHRISTMAS!!!). Had another heart break at the beginning of the month, and that affected me badly. Luckily I have some amazing friends who I don't know what I'd do without, so if any of you guys are reading this, which you probably are, Thank you (Shoutout, ohhhhh). Then Christmas came and I got some amazing gifts, including Guitar Hero and MANY boxes of chocolates.
Well, thats 2014. Let's hope 2015 gonna be a good one. Started it off with a bang with Hannah and Papina, which was amazing, and now I have a gorgeous new boyfriend, and I continue t have a strong and amazing group of true, loyal friends.
Until next time,
Katy x
