The Jadelist: DEC 15

Hey hey lovely people!

January has been a busy, but spectacular month for me, so blogging has kinda been pushed aside, but I was determined to get this posted before the month ended!

So, December had a great mixture of music (and one song from a soundtrack which I'm not even ashamed of putting in!), with a couple of not well known artists, some nice little throwback tracks, and maybe even a new Christmas track!

So without further ado, here's the the December Jadelist!

Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay

Okay, so I first heard this during the AMA's and freaked out.

Believe me, it was a total surprise! I was only watching to see the Star Wars footage!

I was immediately obsessed. Hook. Line. Sinker.

I know people have a tendency to hate anything by Coldplay that was made after 2008 but give 'em a

The Jadelist: OCT 15

Hey hey lovely people!

Am I the only one who thought October dragged this year?

Seriously, it feels like I've known some of the songs in this months Jadelist for years, when realistically, it's been just a few weeks!

Nevertheless, I think I've been lucky enough to find a few life-long favourites this month, so let's check them out! 

Okay, so one of the basic rules of Jadelist is that it's not a Jadelist unless it somehow relates to The

The Jadelist: AUG 15

Hey hey lovely people!

Jadelist is back for the month of August, and we're being a bit cheeky this time!

Honestly, there was so much great music this month that I literally struggled to get it down to 10 songs, so, considering that it's by birth month, an extra song is totally allowed, right?

This month is very upbeat, and dare I say, basic!

Without further ado, here's August's Jadelist:

Fire by TheBalcony

Okay, I'm just gonna come out with it; This song is sung by a Viner. Should that influence whether you like this track or not? HELL NO!!

So you've probably seen Kenny Holland singing in a few Vines around the Internet. Well, him and Wesley Stromberg of Emblem3 have teamed up to create TheBalCOny, and have just released their first single, Fire.

I'm not much into Vine, but one day, I happened to be scrolling through the app and a clip with this song was featured. 

Not to be that basic girl, but I honestly love so many songs that I hear in Vines, so naturally, I decided to look it up and BAM! It was Fire (Literally!)

It's got that be achy vibe to it, so if you're into the kind of songs that you'd hear if you were in Hollister, then this song is for you!

Amplified by Watsky ft. Rafael Casal

So, being the news and YouTube junkie that I am, it's only natural that I'm subscribed to SourceFed, right?

Well, if you're subscribed to them too, you'll know by know that the layout and presenters have

My 2015

Hey hey lovely people!

First thing's first, i'm the realest, apologies for the abrupt ending of Blogmas. Realistically, it was a bad idea to blog every day when I had a lot of things to do this festive season, not to mention that my charger decided to break just after my last post, which was kinda the final straw!


Nevertheless, I did enjoy blogging more frequently, along with posting on topics that weren't fully beauty related, so expect a bit more variety in 2015!


Anyways, back to the point of this post, my plans for 2015.


Now, I came up with this list in 1 minute. Why didn't I think about it? Because if I had to think, then it couldn't have been that important. #JadeWizdom



Let's begin!


1) Blog more frequently

I mean, just look at my post numbers each month. Usually, I'll have a spree of posts, then a huge break. That's right, I'm talking about you November 2014!

This year, I'm aiming to most frequently and consistently, hopefully twice a week seeing as my uni schedule is a bit calmer this term. Also, expect my regular Sunday posts to be back.

2) Learn to play guitar & be able to read music again

Now, in 2014 I taught myself to play the Ukulele, which was super fun. This year, I'm gonna up the game from 4 strings to six *ooh*.

Flashback to 8 year old Jade playing the recorder. That's right, I was that kid. Well, back then, I could read music, but now I'm pretty clueless. This year, I'm gonna learn how to read music again.

3) Start posting YouTube videos

 I've been meaning to do this for a really long time, and now that my bedroom is almost finished, you can expect to see some YouTube beauty videos very soon.

If there are any particular videos you want to see, let me know in the comments below.

4) Buy some Zoeva Brushes

A weird one, I know, but my brush game is most definitely not strong. I own a MAC 187 and a real techniques foundation brush. All my other brushes are either elf, Avon, or some brand that I don't know!

This year, I will up the brush game with some fancy new Zoeva brushes that everyone's been raving about.

5) Organise my makeup and other beauty products

Last year, I had my first set of ALEX drawers. Despite having 9 drawers, I still don't have enough space to put everything. The shame of it all!

This year, I'm planning to get another ALEX to put everything else in. That's right, i'm getting excited over storage.

6) Walk more

Okay, it's no lie that I get way too many taxis. This year, I need to walk more, or at least get more buses.

I guess that once the weather gets warmer, it'll be a lot easier. The struggles of maritime climates.

7) Start exercising more

2012 Jade did Zumba, 2013 Jade had a gym membership, 2014 Jade cancelled her gym membership.

2015 Jade needs to start exercising again. Lets actually do this!

8) Become more involved in out of uni things

By this, I mean things that will help me in the future. In 2013, I became part of the dragon radio USW team (www.dragonradiousw.co.uk), which is one step forward in the right direction.

This year, I want to become even more involved with other journalism based things, like writing for other blogs/websites/newspapers/student newspaper and take up a couple of work experience opportunities, including one that I have planned for this month.

Hey, at least I've already completed one goal!


9) Take up driving lessons

Oh dear, now for the dreaded one. I took up driving lessons in 2012. From that short time, I've concluded that I would love to drive, if nobody else was on the road...

This year, I need to (Wo)man up and start my lessons up again.

Only problem is that, when I pass, I'll just constantly be driving to the beach...


10) Go back to Paris


Weirdly enough, this is probably the most important one on the list for me. 370 days ago, I was in my most favourite place in the world, and I really really really want to go back.

Seriously, I actually miss Paris. Everything just feels so right there. That's why I'm 100% going back this year, maybe even this summer.

I've already started planning my return, so watch this space!




So that's My 2015, let's start this journey together.


As always, thank you so much for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!

Lots of Love
