LAUREN BONES: June 2014

Just some things that teenagers will remember...

Invited to a party? Whack out the roll on body glitter which was usually what you got in your stocking for christmas of your mum. Making yourself look like Edward Cullen, skin glistening as the light hit you. So dramatic.

Smelly gel pens, trading them, giving yourself fake tattoos with them.

Shag bangs... Remember those brightly coloured plastic bracelets that you used to 'snap' with people and every colour meant a different sexual act... even though when you wore them you were 14? Classy kids.

The denim skirt paired with some fake Ugg boots or dolly shoes that were usually a stuidly bright colour. Rocking this look on a non-uniform day and raking in all the boys at school.

Blow up chairs that usually tended to have Groovy Chick on them...

Alcopops, WKD, Smirnoff Ice; the beginning of our underage drinking.

MSN. Was. Life.

MSN names and spending your afternoon picking meaningful and dramatic lyrics for your MSN name.

A boys name in love hearts on MSN. You're in there.

For life advice and emotional, dramatic lyrics for your MSN name, we relied on Atomic Kitten, Destiny's Child, The Sugababes and JoJo.

Bebo. Creeping on the cute boy at schools profile and giving him love so he knows he's in there.

Getting all of your music from Limewire and then having a good old cry when it shut down because you didn't understand Utorrent.

The Sims. Spending all day on it, making pools and removing the ladders, getting burgled, setting fire to your kids. (I totally do not still play the Sims... WHEN IS THE SIMS 4 OUT?!)

Late nights on Habbo Hotel... "ASL?" "Bubba."

Weekend boredom was always solved by wonderful prank calls.

Dance UK on Playstation was the only exercise you ever needed.

Plastic 'pearl' necklaces from New Look that you wrapped around your neck about 12 times.

Mizz, Shout, Sugar, being your life How To, giving you the latest hair style ideas and the bloody fab gifts that you got with them. (If you were lucky, you didn't even have to go to New Look for your fake pearl necklace)

Hoop earrings instantly completing an outfit, Chavvy chic.

In everyday, girl problems

Things us ladies need to remember

We all know that life isn't easy, and sometimes being female can seemingly be the worst thing in the world, crying for no reason and eating your weight in junk food.
However, there are some things that us ladies need to remember...

The wise words of Bridget Jones!

Eating crappy food is ok. I know the feeling; you've eaten a whole bar of chocolate, a packet of crisps, and you're just about to tuck into a delicious take away, once you've finished, or even while you're eating, you feel guilt set in. That diet you were meant to be following? Loosing a few pounds? If you want to spend a day binging and pigging out on your favourite junk foods, then do it. Comfort food is called what it is for a reason.

Just because things aren't going your way right now, doesn't mean that is how it's going to stay. If you're like me and you're super ambitious, you have a million and one things that you want to achieve. Just because you're not succeeding right now in the way you want to, does not mean that you should give up and it doesn't mean that it won't happen in time. Make the most of your journey to success.

DRINK WATER. Take it everywhere with you, drink it always. Downing a pint of water before bed when you're drunk will keep hangovers at bay, and water cures so many problems. It also makes your skin look so much better.

Overpriced make up doesn't always give the best results. Miss Sporty Black liquid liner costs £2.79 and does the same job as a £20.00 Mac liquid liner.

Sleep is great. It's when your body heals and recovers, being a sleep addict isn't a bad thing. Don't feel bad if you just want to nap all day, or have an early night, or turning down a night out because you want to watch a film in bed then crash out. Sleep is great for you. Some models have actually said that by having 12 hours of sleep at night, it has helped them stay skinny.

Fun fact; Although oily skin is an absolute bummer, it actually allows you to tan better and get less wrinkles in the long run.

Granny pants and the ugly white knickers at the back of your drawer are always the comfiest, but wear them if you want to. Bet you didn't know that thongs and other raunchy underwear are linked to thrush. A healthy vagina is a happy vagina.

The cure to any female situation; bubble bath, chick flick, tea & some ice cream (or chocolate... or pizza, whatever you prefer) If you're having one of those days, or if you've simply had a bad day, argument with someone, terrible day at work, come home, get into your PJ's and have a long bubble bath before getting comfy in bed with a good old chick flick and your favourite food; we all know this works.

No matter what you think, it's most likely that your leggings are see through. Don't risk wearing a top that leaves your bum out in the open when you're wearing leggings because people will most probably be having a good look at your knickers.

Girly melt downs are ok. Even if your life is rosy and seems perfect, you can have a good cry even if you don't know what it's about. As women, our hormones are going mental most of the time which causes us to just burst into tears for reasons unknown to us.

Things can change in a matter of days. Don't worry about silly things that aren't important and don't worry about things that you have no guarantee will happen. (I should probably listen to my own advice here...) Just remember that you have no idea what could happen tomorrow, next week and so on.

Go to the gym, it really isn't that bad and will do you a lot more good than sitting on your bum and watching Keeping Up With The Kardashian's. Also, the feeling after going to the gym or doing any exercise is very satisfying and makes you feel really good.

You don't need to straighten or curl your hair everyday. I think we all know the damage that heated hair tools do to our hair, and honestly, you probably look so much nicer without your hair pin straight. If you want gorgeous waves or a style that you think can only be achieved with heated products, Youtube is your friend. Look for tutorials that don't use heat, they will probably work better than your GHD's. Trust me.

Changes & Improvements

This is going to be a more personal post as my life has undergone a bit of a 'refurbishment' recently.
Over the last month or so, I've become a much better and more positive person. I've started to do more exercise, surrounded myself with people that make me happy, and I've been making the most of the little things. The fact that I've just got into a great relationship may have influenced my sudden turn around but I don't think that's the only factor that has made the difference for me.

The last couple of years for me, were full of misery, doubt, sadness and a great lack of confidence. All of these things were to do with relationships, education, work and family. After spending over a year in a deep and dark hole of misery, I finally stood up for myself and said 'Hell no, I am not taking this anymore.' I wanted to achieve things, I wanted to be happy and I knew I deserved better than what I was getting so to do this, I got rid of the people in my life that were holding me back and making me doubt myself, I changed aspects of myself and began a new me - I understand how cliché that sounds!
I've been taking any opportunity that has been thrown at me over the past few months, even if they haven't worked out. I was working at a tattoo studio until a couple of weeks ago as things weren't really working out, but it was such a fantastic opportunity to put some of my talent into play, designing tattoos that people now have on their flesh and learning how it all works!
My current job is lifeguarding, and all I can say is, it's quite an enjoyable job. You can't really complain about sitting by a pool for up to 5 hours a day making sure people that are having fun in the water are safe (it's also a great opportunity to top up the summer tan!!!) and I'm totally making the most of the work and getting as many hours as I can get.
Also, giving the fact that I have deferred from university for a year, it gives me a chance to make some money for myself, ready for my new start next year, and I can also make the most of the new relationships I have formed recently, and make the most of the beautiful Cyprus weather for another year!
It was recently my 18th which was a fantastic day. It started by myself and some friends going paint balling (which resulted in a lot of horrible bruises...) and then, we had a huge BBQ at my house which left us all stuffed with fantastic food, and obviously, I finished the night by going out with some friends to enjoy my first legal drink. I was completely spoilt on my birthday and I won't go into detail as to how lucky I was, but I'm currently typing this post on my new laptop eeek! My birthday was so wonderful and I'm so grateful for all of my friends and family for celebrating with me and making my day so special. I'm ridiculously lucky.
I feel like I'm rambling a little bit, so I'll finish it off here!

Peace
