BEAUTY: A DRINK IN MY HAND, MY SNOW UP AGAINST THE BURNING SAND

 CHANNELING THE SUMMER VIBES

So if you follow this blog, you'll know that a little while ago I had the existential crisis of deciding what hair colour to have AND what new skills/hobbies to learn over the summer. Well my friends, the fates have decided and here are the results....

PERSONAL: THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Happiness. One little word that can make or break a person depending on whether they have it or not...
I have been plagued by depression since I was 18 but in today's post, I'll be keeping things light and airy, telling you guys how that elusive word is helping to me to rebuild who I am again!!

LIFESTYLE: NOW I GET A HOLIDAY, WHEREVER I GO I MIGHT STAY!!

FUN THINGS & SUMMER PLANS

Lyrics: Paramore- Holiday

With my imminent return to the UK in just THREE days, I thought I should probably pick out some things to do this summer to get me back on track! I read in a book a quote about depression and it rings so true. "Depression stole my identity." So this summer I want to rediscover who I am...

LIFESTYLE: IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE LIKE, IN LOVE WITH ME, OR SOMETHING!

MEAN GIRLS CELEBRATES 10 YEARS

The 10 year anniversary is a Wednesday, and on Wednesdays we wear PINK!

Happy 10th Birthday, Plastics! 

BEAUTY: OH MY LOVE I SWEAR YOU'RE PERFECT, YES I PROMISE YOU'RE PERFECT FOR ME

MY ESSENTIAL BEAUTY BASICS

Having to live out of a suitcase for a year (yes, just the 1 suitcase!) means I have to limit what I pack. This means limited make up and beauty products so allow me to show you round my essential beauty basics!

The MUST haves of beauty basics!  

PERSONAL: TALE AS OLD AS TIME, SONG AS OLD AS RHYME

CHANGING MY HAIR COLOUR...

I get bored very easily with my hair and if any of you babes have been following from the beginning of the Sassylassy16up days, you'll know I've had several different hair colours! But this is one I have never had before and apparently, everyone has something to say about it..........

This doesn't even include the blue dip dye or the Pokémon hair........

LIFESTYLE: AND IT'S TRUE WE ARE IMMUNE, WHEN FACT IS FICTION AND TV REALITY

A CAUSE WORTH FIGHTING FOR

I don't join every cause and battle there is to fight, that's true, so when I do decide to stand for something you know it means something to me. 
I have vegan friends who fight for animal rights, I have feminist friends who fight for women's rights and so on and so forth... I have always been moved by those who are less fortunate but I am a very big advocate of helping yourself out of a jam. This is why I am part of the Zapatista Solidarity movement at uni and how I plan to be a more active member of the cause.......
