Hey all, Hows you? Who's ready for my monthly favorites?! I really need to cool it with the redbull haha. M.A.C I've really developped a passion for Mac over this past month. I have spent many hours drooling over their lipsticks and various other products, but mainly their extensive lipstick collections. It's not the cheapest, I must admit, but sooo worth it! Source ...
Hey all, Hows you? I finished reading this book about a week ago and I must say I really enjoyed it. It's about a 16 year-old Amish girl called Rebecca Graber, who gets raped by her boyfriend, Zeke. It's a story, in my opinion, about the after-math of things, which I personally think is a very important point of view to remember. It's not just the event that damages a person it's the after-math of living with...
Gratitude | Matti May Hardie
7:01 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? Yes, I stole this blog post off the wonderful Cara from Maskcara (you can find her post here) because I thought it was such an inspirational and interesting post to write. This is my gratitude list, because sometimes, I need a reminder of what I'm glad about. This took me a really long time to write, you'd be shocked at all the little things in life that you are glad for but forget. ...
November Favorites | Matti May Hardie
10:21 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? It's that time of the month again! No, not that time of the month, but the time of the month where I tell you beautiful people what my monthly favorites have been! Elf - Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick This is one of my all time favorite products. Normally, I don't like lip gloss because I find it way too sticky and I don't like how it feels on my lips, but this...

6:26 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? Recently, I read "The Drowning Of Arthur Braxton" by Caroline Smailes, and I want to talk about it. Can I start off by saying that I blooming loved that book, like really loved it. I read it in 3 days, and normally, it takes me weeks to read books because I'm just so busy with school and my blog and ish. ...
My Top 5 Favorite Perfumes | Matti May Hardie
9:42 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? I've been thinking about Christmas lately and because of that, I've been thinking about what perfume I want (my Mum and I kind of have a tradition that we buy each other a perfume or a body scent for Christmas each year). So I decided to compile a list of my favorites perfumes and body scents (including eaux de toilettes). I'm not going to bother trying to explain the scents to...
Let's Talk Lipsticks... | Matti May Hardie
7:51 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? If you know me well, you'll know that I have recently acquired an obsession for lipsticks. I adore any sort, high end or drugstore. Sadly, lipsticks cost money, money that I don't have because I'm saving for an iPhone. However, I have been doing a shit-ton of research about various lipsticks that I fancied sharing with you guys. I'm going to start with high-end lipsticks. Obvs, I have my all-time...
My Favorite Little Shop | Matti May Hardie
8:18 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? So today I went shopping in town with my Mum and we went (as usual) to our favorite little shop. It reminds me of those little shops in Brighton in the lanes. It's so Tumblr you wouldn't believe!! I wanted to share it with you because if ever you are in my end of the woods (unlikely I'm sure but there we are!), I wanted to show you guys what you...
The Black List #1 | Matti May Hardie
6:18 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? This is a little thing I have been working on for quite a while, but never really known how to bring it into my content. Then my Mum had found this way, and it works! This is a pilot to see how I can work it so feel free to let me know what you think, what I can do to make it better, what doesn't work, ect... Obviously, this isn't...
Hey all, how's you? I have just watched Dodie(doddleoddle)'s video about Karim (KarimAbridged) (Click on the link to see it). I wasn't planning on making anything else about Youtube sexual abusers, but that was the last straw. I have, in my drafts, a half-finished post about Alex Day and the fact that he's now making videos again. I didn't put it up. But now it's gone too far. It never has been, is not and never...
The British Tag | Matti May Hardie
8:20 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? As you all know, I love tags and I'm gonna do another one!! This is the British Tag, because I am British. Obviously. I wasn't tagged to do this but I really fancied doing it. Source 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how many sugars? I tend to have 2 to 4 cups if I'm at home on a weekend or holiday, but if I'm...
My September/October Favorites | Matti May Hardie
8:05 PM / BY May
Hey all, how's you? So as you all know, I didn't do a September favorites as I didn't love enough things to make a decent post, so I thought I'd mix September and October together. Make-Up Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara This is something I have loved for ages, and have repurchased many times over, it's the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara. It looks really nice on my eyelashes, it doesn't take a magician to figure out how...
A Letter To: My 12 Year Old Self | Matti May Hardie
12:39 AM / BY May
Hey me, How're you managing? It's been a while, huh? I know the world seems a bit big and scary, but trust me, you haven't seen half of it. I haven't written to you for shit, I've written for you to give you some advice, because my god, you look like you need some! First things first, about Mum and Dad. Tell Mum to use her brain and leave that hell hole. She doesn't deserve...
Changing | Matti May Hardie
12:33 AM / BY May
Hey all, how's you? I've been thinking lately about how people change, and how things change. Mainly because I feel that over the past year or two, my music tastes have changed drastically. For example, when I was 12, I would love to jam to some Eric Clapton, Beatles or Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, because that was what my parents were listening to, and my parents were my main influence at that age.But even though those 3...
A Letter To: My 16 Year-Old Self | Matti May Hardie
4:48 PM / BY May
Hi Me, How's it going? How's your life going? Right now, your life has been better, but it's been worse too. Your anxiety is getting you down (how is the anxiety doing?) and your fight with depression is wearing you down too as is the stress of it all (what with GCSEs coming at the end of the year).You're anger management is much better, and you're trying to convince that mother of yours to let...
Hey all, how's you?
I was recently given a Lush face mask called "Mask Of Magnaminty". It's basically a peppermint face and back mask, and I wanted to give it a go. I have just rinced it off and I wanted to share it with you!
I kind of enjoyed it, though I don't think I should have done it in Autumn because the peppermint makes your face go really cold, and the cold starts to burn after a while!!
It's quite hard to apply, I'll say that, but it feels sort of like a mud mask when it's more or less dry. I'm not really sure if I like it or not, it feels weird but it does make my skin feel nice and clean.
One thing that I noticed is that it's so strong, my eyes started watering!! I also kept feeling like I had a runny nose, but I didn't... I.. I just do not know... I'm sorry.
I think this is a good product for mid-summer when you're sweating buckets and just BEGGING for ANYTHING AT ALL to cool you down.
I give this product a solid 3/5 star rating.
Tell me what you thought of it if you have already used this product. Did you like it or not? Let me into your minds!! Haha

So here is 10 things you probably don't know about me! Can I just say how hard this was for me to write? I literally couldn't think of anything you guys...
The Youtube Scandal | Matti May Hardie
6:37 PM / BY May
Hey all, how's you? So recently there's been a shit-ton of allegations made against certain Youtubers (I'm not afraid to name names and it annoys me (personally) when people don't just tell me who the heck they're talking about, so I'm going to name drop as it's no secret), namely Alex Day aka Nerimon, Tom Milsom, EddPlant, and more recently Sam Pepper and Jason Sampson aka Veeoneeye (these are the ones I know of). Alex,...
Sexuality | Matti May Hardie
12:15 AM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? This is a very difficult and... tricky subject for me to talk about. This is a subject that is very close to my heart and I really felt that I needed to talk about. And that's sexuality. Source (Have I got your attention with that big ass gay pride flag?) I don't know why this subject is so close to my heart, but what with the internet (and Youtube principally) being...
Meet Me: Anxiety | Matti May Hardie
2:41 AM / BY May
Hey all Hows you? She's done it again. She's started a "series" again. Oh god! - Ok I can explain. The S.S. series was stupid and it wasn't going anywhere, that's why I stopped that, at that time I was looking to see what I'm going to do on my blog. This is different. I want you guys to know more about me. I know I'm totally open with you guys, but I still have...
