A Picture An Hour 17/01/13

Why hello there guys!

Soooo Yesterday was a pretty 'do nothing' day but I decided to do something which I have seen floating around the blogosphere and that is taking a picture every hour from When I wake up until bed time. This isn't super exciting because nothing that extraodinary happened, but it's a sort of, follow me around for a day thing and it took rather a lot of 'OOH AN HOURS GONE, PICTURE TIME' and editing and whatever else and so I hope you guys like it...

10 Day You Challenge | Day two

Day Two- Nine loves

1. My family and friends- I'm sure everyone says this but I really would be lost without my family and friends. Plus they all pretty much merge into one, like my mum is my best friend and my best friends feel like family.

2. Liam my boyfriend- I don't like PDAs but it's truee. He's a bit of a dork just like me and sometimes we do stuff and say if anyone could see us they'd think we were so wierd (we did a 'who can lean the farthest forward without falling over' contest the other day....enough said.)

3. Shopping- I shop way too much but I love the buzz it gives you when you get home and look through the amazing new things you've bought. I sometimes think i'm a bit of a shopaholic but money burns holes in my pockets and any money I get for Birthdays or Christmas never stays in my account long. I love clothes and make up and bags and shoes, which is good when you're writing a make up/fashion/lifestyle blog I suppose.

4. Magazines- I'm a right sucker for magazines and I always have been. I like that you can shop without shopping, if you get what I mean. It gives you ideas of seasonal trends and ideas of things to buy, it's kind of like a blog in paper form. I used to always get Twinkle (anyone remember that?) when I was little, then magazines like Sugar and bliss when I was a bit older and now i'm onto Elle and Vogue and Company and More and and Glamour and Gracia and cosmopolitan and....

5. Skinny Jeans- I do love my skinny jeans. I can remember when I got my first pair when I was like ten from the kids part of New Look because my older brother had some and I always copied him like the little sheep I was. Since then i've never gone back to flares but the ones I get are a little more expensive now.

6. Tea-  I drink tea like there's no tomorrow. I probably drink more tea than anything else and at least one every hour (i'm drinking one as I type this). There's nothing like a hot cup of tea on a winters day, or a glass of iced tea in the summer. Mmmmmm tea!

7. Music- Music has always been a mahoosive part of my life. I love how you can listen to a song and memories come flooding back. Or how it can make you happy or relaxed and how some songs can describe exactly how you feel. I took music for GCSE as well as Performing Arts, so reading music, writing compositions, playing piano and singing was all a bit part of high school for me. I feel lost without my ipod or the radio.

8. Uni- I hated Uni at first, I stayed at home because I can get propper home sick. I almost went to a Uni about an hour away from home, but at the last minute I decided to go to the one in my city. However, I've made some rather good friends including my boyfriend who I met there. I now pretty much live at his house and I wouldn't change a minute of Uni life, I can already tell it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

9. Last but certainly not least, blogging- You know those stats like 'You spend 20 years of your life on the toilet' or whatever...mine is more than likely 'you spend 90% of your life thinking about or actually writing on your blog'. I only started doing this at the beginning of July but I love it! I love reading other blogs and also the buzz you get when you look at someone else has subscribed or commented :)

Anyway guys, hope you're all having a fab Monday, only 4 days left till the weekend yay! haha

thanks for reading :)

Lots of love, Lucy xx
 

Ten Day You Challenge | Day one

Hey guys

So i've seen this floating around in the blogosphere for some time now but i've decided to do it as i'm getting ready to head out of summer and back into Uni :( I'm also out of things to review and talk about for the next week or so, therefore I though't i'd do this as a sort of gap filler. I really enjoy reading other people's so i hope you will enjoy reading mine too :)

Day one- Ten secrets

I find it really hard to think up secrets because I don't have any, as boring as that is haha, so this is more of a things about me not everyone knows...

1. I'm stupidly shy- like it's always been a problem, when I meet new people my heart races and I can barely talk. Untill I get to know them, then they probably wish I would shut up some times. I've always wanted to be less shy, it has gotten better over the years, so hopefully by the time i'm like 130 i'll be completely confident!

2. Leading on from the last - I get on better with guys than girls although i'm a very girly girl, not a tom boy by any means. My very closest friends are girls i've known for years but then my outer circle of friends are mainly guys. I just find there's much less drama with them.

3. I've already got my boyfriends christmas present...two tickets to see Olly Murs because he loves him...but shhhh :P

4. I'm completely hopeless at organising. I buy something or make a 'New Years resolution' to become more organised...and it all starts good, for example i'll start the Uni year with a planner and the thought that i'll knuckle down and do well....then after two weeks I give in and go out every other night. It really isn't good.

5. i'm a complete comitment-phobe. Unless it's things i've done all of my life (going to school/ college/ Uni) or something I completely love and am devoted to...I hate it! Going to work for example...I hated it and it was so strict and time consuming, considering it was only a weekend job on the checkout whilst I was also studying for my A levels. Even if I have to stay later at Uni or whatever...I can't stand it. I think it's the fact I like my own time, doing things I want to, and anything which runs into that is not good! I hate getting myself into situations where it's hard to back out.

6. I cried for pretty much the whole of pre school and my first 3 years at primary school. I really did not like primary school. I was very clingy and hated my mum leaving me there. I also hated noisy places and people who were boisterous, so I much preffered when we were sat working...So very sad...I'm glad that changed quickly. Also this one time in pre-school (remind anyone of "this one time in band camp"? haha) I ran upto the door kicking it and screaming to leave.

7. I'm in my second year at Uni...Yet i still have no clue what i want to do when I leave. since I was about 3 years old, lining my toys up against the fire guard (they burnt...but that's another story) I've wanted to be a teacher. But now i'm actually at the time of deciding I don't really know if I want to any more. Oh dear.

8. I forget people's names so easily. I can remember people's faces but can never remember their names. It gets me into a right pickle sometimes.

9. It was me who wrote on the newly wallpapered wall when I was 4, not my older brother, although he got the blame (Mwahaha). I was a very mischievous child.

10. I don't really know what my style is, although I wish I did. I love fashion and clothes LOTS, but I often buy things I like, not because they're particularly fashionable. sometimes I try my hardest to buy things which are fashionable, but i'm crappy at finding, picking things and putting outfits together.

I hope you like reading these too and find this some what interesting. Link me to your 'ten day you challenge' and I will most certainly read it :)

Lots of love, Lucy xx

It's fun to be cheeky sometimes :D

I seem to be posting like a post man on post tablets today.

I'm a spring chicken to the blogging world in that I only started at the beginning of July although, since then i've gotten far too into it so I thought i'd introduce myself to you. Helloooha, i'm Lucy, i'm 19 years old, I go to University, my favourite colour is blue and my favourite animals are Polar bears :D. This blog (Lucy Loves...) is largely about hair, make-up and fashion all of which I am pretty obsessed with.

 So if you're reading this (thanks btw) and are interested in hair and make up tips, OOTDs, DIY things, advice, reviews and a load of other things, then i'd really appreciate it if you could carry on having a look through my numerous blog posts i've done so far, and if you like, think about following? :) (how cheeky of me!) I will also more than likely follow back.

I try to post as often as I possibly can and try my darn hardest to be interesting and to write blog posts which will be helpful in some way to those who read it although your comments, feedback and constructive criticism is all more than welcome.

By the way, i'm a student on a budget so most of the products I use are high street or drugstore, with just a splash of high-end.

That is all, thank you for reading :)

Lots of love, Lucy xx
