An outsider or an over exaggerator?

Hey guys! so today (if I was to stick to the scheduled) I would've been talking about depression however since I've had one of the worst weeks ever I thought it might be best to just rant I guess? which is a little different to what I'd normally do however I really wanted to talk about it and maybe tips on how to deal with a bad week.

This week has been up and down for me, but the main three things that really got to me was firstly my tutor would literally not fuck off during one of my lessons, I think he made it his goal to make me feel as socially awkward as possible and since I have anxiety it kinda ended in a panic attack in the bathroom...

Secondly, well for those of you who don't know I'm currently studying music at college (I play guitar) anyway part of our unit is to pick a solo song to preform (the idea being you will be the centre of attention) my tutor wanted to change the key even though the singer and the rest of the band were perfectly happy with the original key after he left we had 10 minutes till we had to present to the class so we changed it back, when they were giving feedback some one said "it sounded really good" my tutor then replied "was it really though?" in the most arrogant tone I've ever heard, he then spend the next 10 minutes telling us about how wrong we were.

Finally, this week I've never felt so lonely... all my "friends" avoided me during our breaks, if I was sat on my table they would see me and sit all the way across the room and pretend like I didn't exist and if I was to sit with them they would all make excuses to leave which was pretty much the icing on the cake.

Either way this is what I did to try and cope with things and I hope they help you!

1. take a deep breath, and try to not let things get to you
2. keep in mind your worst week, day or month may look completely normal to everyone else so try to chill
3. things always seem worse when they happen, chances are if you were to look back it wouldn't seem like a big deal
4.  do something you love that makes you happy, for me personally I love to watch Castle its my favourite TV show and never fails to make me smile, however it doesn't have to be TV, listen to music, take a bath, go for a walk just try to do something 
5. LET IT GO! holding on to anger will only make you bitter, see everyday as a fresh start and don't carry around the disappointment, hurt or anger from the day before as over time it will just pile on and make things worse than they seem.
   
   
   
   I really hope this helped in some way! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this,

Naked Skin Foundation by Urban Decay
review

Hey guys! so I promised myself that every Friday I'd write a new post however I have failed myself as well as you guys, last week I started my second year at college and things have been ridiculously stressful especially since I have a gig on the 30th of this month... which I found out about a week ago however I'm not here to make excuses so I'm just going to get into this :)

If you haven't already been able to tell from the title this is a foundation review, now just over two months ago I found myself wondering around Debenhams, more specifically I was admiring the Naked Pallets at the Urban Decay contour when I noticed the foundations they had at the back, so out of spur of the moment I picked one up.

The next day I decided to use it in the hopes that I'd like it, at first when I pupped the product on the back of my hand I noticed it was very... lose which made me worry as I thought this would be horrible considering I've got very oily skin however I grabbed my beauty blender and just went for it, and to my surprise it was amazing! its a pretty light coverage and looks as if your wearing nothing, paired with a high coverage concealer it worked wonders on my face, it also had a matt finish and felt really light to wear, because of this I decided to take it with me on holiday when I went to Lebanon a month ago and I have to admit it surpassed my expectations, it managed to stay on all day, even when the temperatures reached the high 30's. 

Over all I was seriously impressed and still love using the foundation, if your looking for a low coverage, lightweight foundation I can't recommend it enough. Below will be a list of links of where you can pick the foundation up.

Hey guys! 

Now this weeks post was actually meant to be about depression and how to deal with it, however because of the Syrian refugee crisis that has come to light this week, I really wanted to take the time to talk about it while its still fresh in everyone's mind. Before you go on to read this I must warn you my opinions could be seen as bias, what I mean by that is I was raised in Syria and I am in fact half Syrian, I was born here in the UK however my mother was not, she was born and raised in Syria and my family moved there when I was 5 years old (we lived there for 8 years and moved back when the civil war started) so ask you can tell this is a sensitive topic for me. 

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past week most of you would have seen/heard about that picture of the 3 year old Syrian boy who was found washed up on the shore of Turkey, this picture blew up in the media over the past few days and many people have demanded the UK let more Syrian refugees into the county. 

David Cameron of course refused to do so as well as many other people living in the UK, because of the fear they might "steal" our jobs, first of all I would like to point out this...

Migrant: a person who moves from one place to another in order to find work or better living conditions.

Refugee: a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.

these poor Syrian refugees are not here to steal your jobs, they are hear because they don't have a choice! trust me they would much rather stay in their home. Secondly many people feel that the UK can't possibly handle more people coming into the county because they claim we don't have the money or because we're full up, well for those of you who do feel this way take the time to read this...   

I personally find it ridiculous that In 1937 Britain welcomed 4,000 refugee children fleeing the Spanish civil war, A few years later Britain had given shelter to 70,000 Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria and in 1956 when Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary we took 20,000 people, In 1972 When Idi Amin threatened 60,000 Asian Ugandans with death we welcomed 25,000 of them. In the 90's 20,000 refugees displaced by the conflict in the Balkans found safety in Britain.

Today, millions flee bombs and chemical weapons in Syria, unleashed by their own government. How many refugees have we accepted...

216! 

Why the hell is this number so low! why have the UK accepted millions of other refugees in the past but not the Syrians! it makes no sense, its our responsibility as human beings to help them!

I still can't wrap my head around this! something needs to be done to help these people! and I personally find it shocking that its taken us this long to realize this, if we were willing to take these refugees in a long time ago less of them would be dead, little boys and girls would not be dead, the elderly would not be dead and children wouldn't have had to see their parents suffer while their childhood gets taken away.

Please take the time to help these kids in need, and welcome them into our country with open arms! 

you can sign some petitions to help get them into the UK as well as donate to the children in Syria (I will leave the links down below)
