Hey all,
Hows you?

I've been reading quite a few of these lately and I felt left out, so I decided to do one too. I've been having a really natural, simple make-up look over the summer to avoid looking like a panda (a look a regularly rock whenever I wear pencil eyeliner).

Hey all,
Hows you?

I know I did one of these not long ago but this time I have a specific reason for why I wanted to do this post.

So grab a cup of tea and a piece of cake or whatever beverage and/or snack you desire and enjoy!

Ever since I started dying my hair when I was just 11, I've had a total love-affair with my hair. I've cut it, dye it, style it every way I can. My hair has been dark brown, auburn/red (my natural colour), strawberry blond/blond, light brown, red, and not forgetting black (I went through a particularly long emo phase, okay?). It doesn't seem like very much dying, but let's remember that I'm only 15.

I remember perfectly well why I started dying my hair. Sadly, it's not a very nice reason. Like I said before, my hair is naturally red. For some reason, when I started primary school in France, everyone seemed to think that was really weird and funny. I got really bullied for it during the 4 years that I stayed at that school, and again, for the year that I stayed at the new primary school. For my first year of high school, I decided I wanted to dye my hair brown to stop the teasing. It didn't really work because the dye was too close to my natural hair colour, but that was my first experiance with hair dye. I continued to dye it on and off until the start of my third year of high school. Then, I did went super dark, like, almost black, and that's when the addiction to dying my hair set in. I had done it on a Sunday night, and when I'd gone to school the next day, seeing people's reaction when they saw my new super dark, super straight hair, was the best feeling ever. Seeing their eyes go big and jaws drop, it boosted my self-confidence no end. Obviously there was some negative feedback, but honestly, I didn't even notice them.

On the 7th of June 2015, I came out as bisexual. I first came out to my friend, Frances, in May, and gradually came out to my little sister, and my best friend. After I came out to my parents, I pretty much totally accepted my sexuality and I'm not even scared of coming out to anyone anymore. They can like it or lump it and to be quite honest with you guys, I don't really care which one they choose.


Something that I didn't expect was that people would ask me how I knew I was bi. My uncle asked me first while I was in England, and it really stumped me. I hadn't really thought about the process before (you will never understand the temptation I had to quote Jenny from Two and A Half Men "Well when you start thinking about women when you masturbate that's a pretty good clue"). I was actually really pleased with the response I got from people like my uncle and my cousin and her husband. They were really open and cool about it and it surprised me.


There are some people who have been a bit dickish about it. I've received a few "I don't think you're bi"s and "but you do have a preference for boys, right?" - urgh, no, people, I don't have a preference for either gender, I'm attracted to EVERYONE. It's not that hard to grasp!

I do feel very blessed and grateful for the fact that I have received very little negativity since my coming out. Shockingly, I received the most negativity from my parents. My dad is a very conventional man. He doesn't like homosexuals to begin with, and he's very much stuck in his own ways, so you can probably guess that he wasn't best pleased that his daugher was bisexual. I got confronted with a "you're too young to know that" and various other patronising, homophobic phrases like that. My mum wasn't exactly please about it either, saying that I was trying to "label myself" and, again, that I was "too young to know about my sexuality" and all that bullshit.

One thing that does come with coming out that isn't as great is that people are paranoid. It makes me laugh, because as much as I try and get people to understand, it's impossible for them to understand that just because I'm bi doesn't mean that I'm going to fall in love with every person that I come across. That's obviously not the case. I'm a human with feelings, it's just that I can have romantic feelings for either gender. Not some robot that falls in love with everyone. And especially not with my best friend of 4 years.

My Mum recently bought me an iPhone, and if you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know that I wouldn't ever spend any money because I was always saving up for an iPhone. Since that's now no longer a problem, I am finally allowing myself to spend some more money on clothes and make-up. I've had a little browse on ASOS and I've found some things I've fallen in love with, and will be very tempted to buy next payday. I'm going to keep it to 3 or 4 because if not I'm going to be going on forever and a day.

Hey all,

So I'm off to England today and I don't think I've ever thought about Starbucks, Primark and MAC so much in my entire life (priorities). Because my Mama is a massive control freak, she likes to know that my suitcase and carry-on have been packed a couple of days in advance (then again, I blame my Mum, but I guess it's understandable since when I went to England last July I nearly forgot my passport at home). I thought I'd share what I'm putting in my carry-on for the plane journey over.

A bit of a different post today, but I've been stalking the blog PatriciaBinFrance which I'm sure you can guess is about an American lady who now lives in France and is married to a frenchman too. On her blog she talks about make-up and also about life in France. She recently put a post up called "How To Marry A Frenchman" and it got my mind going.

You may or may not know that I live in France. I moved here with my parents in May 2007 just before my 7th birthday, so it's now been 9 years, I've grown up here, and I think I'm qualified in France and the French.

Hey all,
How's you?

Hey all,

I seem to have gone a little follow-happy on Bloglovin' at the moment, because I seem to all of a sudden be following loads of people and I've been enjoying a load of new blogs at the moment. I don't think I've spoken about someone who was in one of the previous posts for this series actually!

Hey all,

I'm shocked at the amount of shopping I've been doing at the moment. I'm a saver, not a spender, unless it's someone else's money haha. But my Mum gave me some money for when I went to England and I got given some money for my birthday so I made the most of it and did a lil' bit of shopping that I'd like to share with you guys. However, I'm not going to be able to show you guys everything because I did pick some stuff up for a secret project that you guys will find out about very soon, I'm sorry I can't tell you anything and trust me, I hate it when people do that but just bare with me, it's going to be great!
Also, I bought literally just underwear at Primark (other than the fake nails and glue) and I find it quite strange to show you guys my underwear.
