Hey guys, Hope your all well. I would just like to say I'm super sorry that I haven't been writing any posts. I have been busy with my exams and finally finished my first year of sixth form! I have a lot more time on my hands to write some posts now (squeeeeeeeeeee)
Ok, so I already had a YouTube channel with my friend but I have decided to make a new channel, you will be expecting to see all things Beauty & Lifestyle on there. I will be uploading every Wednesday. I just want to tell you that I'm not so strong at editing videos, I will be trying my very best at doing it though!
If you could subscribe to my channel that would mean the absolute world to me, I am super excited to start this new hobby and see where it takes me. So, here it is! Please check it out :)
I'm working on some fun exciting blog posts so keep your eyes open for them, Hope you all have a lovely day wherever you are!
Take care
Charlie.

'Believe in yourself'
Hello everyone, hope your all well.
You might all be aware I suffer from anxiety ( link of my post below ) and i was just sitting here thinking why I have it, why am i like this? I want to change the way I think about things, as I always think of the worst. So I had a little look on the web for things that can help me with my anxiety, a website all to do with calming yourself came up, I had clicked on it and all i see was clouds floating with relaxing music on my screen. It is almost a meditation session that you can have, it has different time settings on there so you can pick a time your happy with. I shut my door from any distractions, sat myself down and done what the lady says to do. Now I must say as soon as she started to talk I instantly felt my body was relaxed, it wasn't tense like what it was before. I feel like this is really going to help me and if any of you out there feeling stressed out, tired and anxious please go on this website, you wont regret it.
Hope your all having a happy Thursday.

2013 Faves
Hello lovelies, happy new year to you all! I hope everyone had an amazing
2013 and hope 2014 brings you all many wishes and opportunities. 2013 for me
was a good year- I left school, got all my GCSE's, started sixth form, have a
new baby cousin, started a youtube channel and so many more things, although
2013 wasn't just full of good things. When it comes down to my anxiety levels
things get a bit out of hand, and its all to do with worrying, which was all
over my year 11 exams.
However I have been love love loving some certain things and i wanted to
share them with you. so without me blabbing on, take a look at what i have
loved using in 2013.
 |
| Pink Tangle Teezer. Aussie shine serum and Urban Fudge texture salt spray Now these are my hairs bests friends. I recommend all of these for people who struggle with long hair (like me). when i say struggle, I mean not knowing what to do with it if your having a bad hair day. Like me when i get up early for Sixth Form I like to be done quickly. Brush through your hair with the tangle teezer (amazing for getting out knots without hurting), run through your hair with a bit of serum to protect and shine, then using the sea salt texture spray i spritz it through my hair, give it a scrunch then hey presto! |
 | ||
Porefessional pore primer and HydraluronSomeone who has oily skin like me will love this prrimer, its from Benefit.
Its a bit on the pricey side but if you want to save up for it and treat
yourself, i think you should. you apply it before you put on any foundation and
it instantly fills your pores with this silky balm- which also helps your
foundation last so much longer.
|
Naked Basics palette
This basic palette is amazing, its so handy and nice for an everyday use. Naked Basics has 6 shadows (1 semi shimmer + 5 mattes) :: Naked has 10 shimmers and 2 mattes (Naked & Buck). the eye shadows are so soft and velvety when your applying them, they blend so beautifully also.
MAC Russian Red Lipstick
Now this i cant even tell you how happy i am to have this in my Lip collection. It's the perfect dull red. It does look a bit darker on camera ( not sure why ). If your going for glowy skin, brown smokey eyes, then I would choose this lipstick to go with it- it's all about the red lip.
One Direction Perfume
Ok so maybe not all of you on here are one direction fans, but I am for sure. Infact im going to see them in concert which I am so excited about! Now moving on to the perfume itself. If you like fruity sweet scents this is definately for you. It came with the body lotion that i haven't used just yet although im sure it will be as nice as this perfume! Go check it out.
OOTD For New Years Day
Topshop Joni Jeans
Jumper New Look
Kurt Geiger Boots
Necklace - Primark
Watch - Primark
I simply love this outfit, I wore it on New Years Day and it is so comfortable.
SO thats the wrap up of this blog, everything I have enjoyed using in the last couple months of 2013. Happy new year everyone make it a good one.

Panic Attacks and Anxiety
Hello my lovelies. Hope you are getting in the festive season, I know I am!
Before I begin this blog post, I'd like to tell you that this a very personal thing for me to write. If you are a panic attack sufferer and you are reading this then I hope I help you all, even if its just one person, it would make me happy that I've helped someone in some way. I hope I can help you get a better understand of it.
Anxiety is a horrible emotion to feel, it effects us in all the different ways possible. It's a feeling that almost feels like you can not control, and just creeps right up on you. Although I am a panic attack sufferer, I still had to research some things about anxiety, and fount out things I never even knew. Everyone in the world feels anxiety, it’s a normal emotional state, just some people have an abnormal amount of anxiety and feel anxious when there’s nothing to be anxious about.
I have suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for around 6 years now. So I really hope this blog post helps you who suffer from anxiety.
Anxiety affects about 1 in 20 adults in just Britain itself.
Whether you are aware of anxiety or not, it can still cause you to have an anxiety attack. You can be doing anything and it could be anytime of the day. They happen any time, which sadly you cannot do anything about- Example; You may be preparing yourself for a big exam or at a job interview. Either way- I do not wish these on anybody.
So what happens during a panic attack?
A panic attack is a sudden rush of adrenaline caused by an uncontrollable level of anxiety. When adrenalin floods your body, it can cause a number of different physical and emotional sensations that may affect you during a panic attack like-
Trembling, twitching, or shaking.
Feeling of fullness in the throat or chest.
Breathlessness or rapid heartbeat.
Lightheadedness or dizziness.
Sweating or cold, clammy hands.
Feeling jumpy.
Muscle tension, aches, or soreness.
Extreme tiredness.
Sleep problems, such as the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, early waking, or restlessness (not feeling rested when you wake up).
Chills or hot flashes.
Panic attacks can come on very quickly, most last up to 5 to 20 minutes. Some people have even said they've had an anxiety attack that has lasted up to at least an hour- which is just mind blowing. 5 minutes is enough. Still to this day people don't realise how bad anxiety attacks are and how it effects your self esteem. When you have so many anxiety attacks, you start to feel almost like a nuisance towards people. I always used to turn things down because I was worried about the slightest thing, now I am starting to say yes to a lot more things. Saying YES to something can open up a new door in one of your life's- just remember that!
What helps me?
When I am having a panic attack, I like to be left alone or walk outside and get some fresh air to calm down and do my breathing. As hard as it sounds you must stay calm when having a panic attack, slow down and do your breathing ( it is so important to do so ). If I am with someone, I ask them to stay quiet unless I ask them for something. When you are in a panic attack, the last thing you want is people asking if your ok or not- I know it's nice of them to say, but you have no energy to speak as the energy is doing what not all over your body.
What to do if someone has a panic attack around you.
Although it sucks having a panic attack, I can't imagine standing next to someone feeling helpless feels very nice either. So these are some steps that I think helps and I have done before.
1. Stay calm. There is nothing worse than someone having a panic attack and you flapping around.
2. Be patient and accept their time.
3. Find something positive to say in every experience.
4. When someone has a panic attack- DO SAY "Stay positive, I am proud of you, Breathe slowly, It's not dangerous, Remember this is going to last very long"
5. Let them know your there to help.
6. Be supportive & reassuring.
I really hope I managed to cover everything and helped at least 1 person, if not everyone of you.
Remember;
You are not alone,everything will be OK. Panic attacks are so very common, very terrifying, but can NEVER kill you. Don't let Anxiety push your self esteem and confidence out the way- if so try and push the anxiety away. You can do it, you can do ANYTHING. Do not force yourself to go somewhere that makes you feel uncomfortable. If someone wants you to go somewhere and you don't want too, then DONT. You and your health is more important than making someone happy.
That's all from me guys, hope I helped in some way. Just remember you can do anything if you want too.
Take care all!

DIY- Cute cotton pad jar
Hello again lovelies! So this post isn't like my usual ones, it's a little bit more edgy.. I have recently been looking at these jars in my local shop in town and came across this idea..
The cutest little jar full with cotton pads! What more can you want. I felt like it was to plain so I added a love heart from a vintage shop. You can re create this yourself at home, with just a jar, cotton pads, and any accessories of your own choice.
hope you enjoyed this different kind of post tonight

My skin live saviour for October
Hello my lovelies! It's been a while, I have been super duper busy with starting sixth form and doing my A-Levels so I hope you don't mind that there hasn't been any uploads recently, but i'm going to be uploading a load of posts tonight to catch up with it all! As you all probably know the weather has took a big change and turned either wet and windy, or just freezing cold! Im sure you all know freezing cold wind is going to make your lips and skin chapped, which is the worst! Here is my favourite body moisturiser that I have been using a lot recently!
MANDARA SPA HONEYMILK DREAM NOURISHING BODY BUTTER
Just the name 'honeymilk dream' makes you want to smother this stuff all over, and this is exactly what I do. I hate putting on moisturiser and waiting 5 minutes for it to dry properly but with this it just sinks into your skin like velvet!
As you can see it is a white thick creamy consistency and just melts into your skin when you apply it, with this you only need a tiny bit, a little bit goes a very long way! Not only does it work wonders, it smells absolutely divine!
RRP £6
Its worth getting your hands on this!

YouTube Announcement
Hello my lovelies!
Firstly I just want to get one thing out of the way with - I'm very sorry that I have not been uploading new posts! I've been so busy but that's no excuse!
Ok so I came on here to give you a bit of an announcement, as with the blog and everything, I wanted to go a bit further... And take it with a YouTube Channel- Me and my very good friend Kirsty have watched YouTube videos for absaloutely ages, I didn't know she watched them until we really got to speak and interact over Twitter etc. We have always thought to ourself how cool it would be to make a Channel of our own. So we both agreed on it and sat down infront of a camera and done what we've always wanted.
We have so many inspirations on YouTube | Zoella, PointlessBlog, CasparLee, MarcusButler, SprinkleOfGlitter.. I can go on but you get the jist.
As soon as we agreed on making our channel.. the pens and paper came out with ideas for the Channel name and video ideas etc. We decided to call the channel BeautyObsessors. As soon as Kirsty knew I had a blog called the same thing, she thought we can carry on from that! We are/was so nervous and excited for our channel to be made because we've never sat down infront of a camera before and spoke about what we love and upload it to a YouTube where so many people can see it. This is the first video we done, I just want to point out we are no experts making videos nor editing. It has a watermark at the beginning for about 1 minute then it goes, again no expert.
5 hours later filming editing and uploading... this happened.

If your interested in watching it, it'll be great if you could like comment and subscribe-
Mine and Kirstys information is in the downbar of the video also.
Thankyou so much :-)
