The Jadelist: JUN 15

Hey hey lovely people!

Another month is over and I'm back with the June edition of The Jadelist

There's a lot of acoustic, happy and folksy types of music this month, with some new artists and, of course, some of my all time favourites.

Let's get into this!

1.

Nothing Arrived by The Villagers

First, let me point out that this isn't the original version of the song. Though the original is still great, it simply cannot compare to the live acoustic session at Spotify.

I'm guessing that I first heard this on a Spotify Ad. Either way, I fell in love with it after hearing just the first five seconds.

It's so simplistic, with just guitar and vocals, and I think that's what makes it great. 

2.

I'll Do Better by Jarrod Gorbel

Obligatory One Tree Hill song, my old friend.

Honestly, I don't mean to do this. I really just have a ton of OTH songs on my regular playlist that I

First Snow

Hey hey lovely people!

Well, it finally happened.

I'm the type of person that gets the flu as soon as winter starts. Every October, you can guarantee that I'll be spending a week in bed, accompanied by my flu survival kit. 

Well, for some reason, I didn't this year. Personally, I thank Fuel Juice Bars obsession. Seriously, I think all the fruity vitamin goodness helped me stay well for the first time in my 19 years of existence, but back to the story.

I finally got the flu this week, which meant a week being bored at home. Seriously, I really wanted to be productive this week. I've just got another set of ALEX drawers and a fancy shoe-case thing which I'm dying to fill up!

Anyway, on Thursday I was sat in bed, when I noticed that it began snowing for the first time this winter where I live. 

With my camera by my side, I thought I'd take a few photos, which lead to videos, which then, because of severe boredom, lead me to create a little snow video, which I thought I'd share with you guys

Enjoy!

Happy Sunday everyone, and enjoy the weather where you are!

Thanks for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!

Lots of Love

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

Blogmas Day 17 - Degustabox

Hey hey lovely people! Apologies for yet another delay in posts! I've just spent the past two days prepping my usually messy room for the new windows that are being fitted tomorrow! 

So, yesterday, my Degustabox was delivered, and I thought I'd share the contents with you today, though not literally, Jade doesn't share food.

Now, seeing as I usually take my photos on my makeup table, which has to be moved at the moment because it's right by my window (Natural lighting though?), we have a new photo background! Enjoy!

So first up, we have Popchips! I can't remember if I've tried these before, or if I'm getting them confused with the Special K crisps, but either way, they looks yummy!

They're not fried or baked, as the tag line says, they're simply cooked with heat and pressure. Wow, magic!

Not only that, but they have half the fat of fried crisps, fewer calories and contain no artificial colours or flavours.   

I really cannot tell you how excited I am to try these biscuits!

Now, my most favourite Degustabox discovery has been the 'Pick Up' biscuits, which are also made my Bahlsen. If they taste as good as them, pray for me, because I will be eating my entire body weight in biscuits!

What I love about these though is that they're actually available in larger supermarkets, like Asda and Tesco. So if you like these, you won't have to go into some speciality shop to find them! YASSSS!

When I saw this package, I immediately thought it said Eat China, therefore assuming it was some healthy kind of porridge. Yeah, bit different!

These are a combination of oats, chia and fruits. Now, I know what you're thinking; what is chia?

Don't worry, I had a google and I still don't really know! As far as I'm concerned, it's some kind of super food seed that is pretty darn good for you! 

Next up is some some green tea by Pukka.

Now, I've never tried green tea, but my mum loves the stuff, which is why this is now hers! Presents for all! 

Plus, it's lemon too!

Another reason why I think I've been living in a cave for most of my life; I've never tried Marmalade.

As far as my mind is concerned, marmalade is simply orange jam, though nobody dares to say it, so I'm guessing that I'll like this.

Plus, it has a cute little jar too! How fabulous!

Curry, another reason to back up my living in a cave theory. For years, I thought that I had a weak tolerance for spicy foods. Turns out, I can tolerate them pretty well, though that doesn't exactly mean I enjoy them! Forever a Korma girl!

Nevertheless, this little kit, with a sauce, spices and oil, looks pretty nifty! Plus, they claim that with this, you can cook a meal in 20 minutes. Challenge accepted!

It's garlic infused, therefore I'm gonna LOVE it. Seriously, my love for garlic is pretty frightening.

It's only 1 calorie per spray! (Which I will admit, does freak me out! If it doesn't have the regular calorie amounts of oil, what are they taking away and what are they replacing it with?) 

Either way, it's garlic, so I'm forever biased!

Ahh, I love how you're all probably reading this and cringing. For me, this brings hope.

Now, I'm like some human taste detector or something. Seriously, I'm a self diagnosed super taster because I can taste flavours super strong, meaning that 

a) I HATE fizzy drinks, they feel horrible

b) I can taste the alcohol in ANY drink, which is why alcoholic drinks taste disgusting to me

So, the prospect of non alcoholic wine excites me, though, my Irish roots are probably weeping right now!

Last, but not least, we have these mixers, which I can assure you are not going to be used as mixers. Wow, I'm such a reckless student right?!

Seriously though, these drink flavours seem really yummy, like cucumber and apple. Seriously, they should make these as juices or something. 

So, that's it for this months Degustabox! If any of you are interested in trying this out, help a gal out and use my unique link here! 

Using that link will give you £3 off your first box! Fab, or should I say, YUM!

Question of the post! Out of all of these products, which one do you wanna try the most? Let me know in the comments below!

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

Blogmas Day 15 - The Braceface Tag

Hey hey lovely people!

Today, I had another orthodontist appointment, and honestly, my teeth are aching a bit, so I thought I'd have a quick but relevant post today. 

I present, the Braceface tag!

1. When did you get your braces on?

11th April 2014.  

2. How soon after you got them could you feel pressure or aching?

I think it was either 20 minutes or straight after. It was so weird!

3. On a scale from 1-10 (10 being the worst) how bad was the pain for you?

I'd say about 6-7. I'll be honest, at one point, it felt like I wanted to just rip them off. (Don't worry kids, it gets better!)

4. What kinds of food to you eat when you first got your braces?

SOUP! Literally, soup and yogurt for a week. 

5. How often do you get adjustments?

Every 8 weeks.

6. Do you wear rubber bands? Comments about them?

Nope, well, at least not yet. Clearly, I'm gonna look ultra fab when I get them...

7. How many times a day do you brush with your braces? Do you have any tips to prevent the "little white squares" on your teeth?

Twice a day. Tips, hmm, get a really good electric toothbrush and always carry those spooley things with you. Believe me, they are life savers!

8. How often do you get your braces tightened?

Didn't you just ask that? 8 Weeks!

9. Do you get to pick your colours??

Yup, but I've always stuck with silver, unless I have to have power chains. Ain't no chance that I can pull off a rainbow look, or Ugly Betty realness!

10. How long do you have your braces for?

Somewhere between a year and a year and a half. Though according to my orthodontist, my teeth are moving pretty fast, so we could be looking more towards the year mark.

11. Did you need jaw surgery?

Nope! 

12. What kind of toothbrush do you use with your braces/appliances?

Oral B Triumph 5000. Seriously guys, you have to try it! It's SO good!

13. Do you use wax?

At the beginning, I used wax all the time, like I really looked that good with wax all in my braces. Now though, I use it pretty rarely, I'd say once every two months. Y'know, on those days where you wake up and you lips are just all caught up in your braces. Lovely...

14. How long did getting your braces on take?

Oh gosh, it was so much quicker than I expected! I honestly think it was 20 minutes!

15. What appliances have you/do you have?

Appliances? Dya mean like headgear and stuff like that? I have none of that, just plain braces. 

16. Do you ever get that metal taste in your mouth??

No. I don't get that, I think the only metal taste you get is from Iron, which clearly, braces aren't made from!

17. What colour bands do you get?? 

Silver!

And that's the Brace Face tag. My teeth have changed so much in the last 8 months thanks to braces. To anyone reading this who's a bit unsure, totally go for it. I promise you won't regret it!

So, this was taken before my braces went on (I'm the one on the right)

And this is what my teeth are like now, though I've still got a few months to go! Please ignore my awfully swollen gums, I had a chain put on a couple of hours ago!

So, have any of you got braces, had them, or simply want them? Let me know in the comments below and tell my your experiences!

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

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 12: My Year In Music

Hey hey lovely people! 

So, I'm an avid spotify user, so much so that I'm actually using spotify right now (Currently playing Carla Bruni - L'Amour, for those of you who are interested!)

Now, spotify have recently been playing their Year In Music advertisement, so I took it upon myself to find out how 2014 was like for Jade Bloggs in music.

Let's dive in!

First up are genres! Looks like I'm just a pop addict, though I was surprised about dance pop being second! Either way, my cheesy self is definitely showing through here!

Next up were my top 5 artists. You guys really should've seen the look of horror on my face when it turned out to be Kanye West! Seriously, I don't know how this even happened! I can't remember the last time I listened to Kanye. I personally blame it on my late love of 'Yeezus'.

Okay, so RuPaul being second, I completely blame that on mine and my friend Dally's sassy car rides, including lip syncing for our lives and fabulously synced hair flips. I shall leave it at that!

I honestly wish that Air Dubai were higher on the list! If you haven't heard them yet, they're a fab band from Colorado that released their album, Be Calm, earlier this year. Seriously, check them out, 100% recommended!

How can I have a year where Lana Del Rey doesn't appear in my top lists? My favourite from Lana this year has to be 'Florida Kilos', check it out!

Again, surprised to see Jay Z up here too! I'm personally blaming the 'Ye and Jay placings from them having a lot of songs that I'd listen do, rather than frequency of a song. I'm typically not someone who listens to whole albums, but great songs from a huge number of artists. 

Now, for  my top 5 albums of 2014.

I'm not ashamed to say that Eurovision 2014 is my number one most played album of the year, though you should feel ashamed for me! 

RuPaul, again, too much sass going on for me!

Can I just note that Air Dubai and Be Calm have both appeared 3rd, which coincidentally, is my favourite number! Favourite number, favourite band, just saying! 

Four and Five, yeah, I have no excuses, my inner ghetto gal is beginning to seep through!

At last, my top 10 most played tracks. 

HOW ON EARTH IS TIMBER NUMBER ONE?! Don't get me wrong, I did like Timber, but number one?! Brb, off to hide in my corner of shame. 

Two, three and four will all bring out your inner sass queen. I suggest you listen.

Ah, number five, the last place selection from Eurovision 2014, need I explain any more about how cheesy I am?!

Finally, a chance to redeem myself! Number six is in fact my favourite song of all time and I cannot suggest to you enough that you listen to it. It's b-e-a-utiful!

Seven and Eight, more Ru, more sass.

Nine was a great find of mine for 2014. Jhené Aiko is a great artist who you all need to listen to. Coincidentally, I'm listening to her right now on Big Sean's track 'Beware'. Imagine my freaked out face when this track plays straight after it!

Finally, 10 was a big song for 2014 (and a gym favourite of mine), so you can't judge me on that!

This explains why I can't remember my Kanye 'obsession'. Looks like it in early 2014. 

I'm so happy to see Air Dubai as my summer favourites because Be Calm was definitely my sound of the summer, especially their track 'Coasts'. 

Now, here's what confuses me. Capital Cities are listed as my favourites for Autumn, yet I only listened to one of their songs (Farrah Fawcett hair), yet they don't make an appearance in my top 10. Seriously, to say I overplayed that track would be a complete understatement. I was expecting it to be number one in all honesty.

16, 501 minutes. Let's break this down then. Hypothetically, each song lasts 3 minutes, and their are 365 days in the year. According to this, I listen to 15 songs a day. Seriously, I'm sure that I've been on offline mode for a long time or something. I'd say that I listen to at least 2 hours of spotify each day. 

Finally, my busiest day for music is Thursday, which is also my day off uni!

So, spotify gives to the options to have your top 100 tracks of 2014 created into a playlist. To check this out, follow me on spotify (Jade Molumby) and subscribe to my Top 100 playlist. I've pasted them below, just as an attempt to redeem myself!

Blogmas day 11 - A bit of plugging

Well hey there lovely people! Here's a blog that's actually published on the day it's meant to be! 

Now, for the downside, it's not much of a post, more of a personal advertisement! 

As you know by now, I'm doing a module in uni where I'm required to blog. Now, I didn't wanna complicate things and put random blogs on here. Jadebloggs shall forever stay personal. Therefore, I made a wordpress blog for uni, over at www.jadebloggs.wordpress.com

Now, I posted on there today with a post on how to contour, and I would really love for you guys to check it out and let me know in the comments over there what you think! 

But before you go, here's a sneak peek of what you can transform from after reading the post!

So, have I caught your attention yet? 

head on over to www.jadebloggs.wordpress.com and let me know what you think! Don't forget to leave a comment when you drop by!

Again, apologies for the mediocre posts! My last day of university before Christmas is tomorrow, so after that, expect some fab posts!

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 10 - I suck

Hey hey lovely people

Okay, apologies to each and every one of you for not posting yesterday!

Flashback to me this morning, putting on my makeup, when it suddenly dawned on my that I actually didn't put up a post! 

Yeah, why was that Jade?! A combination of overeating KFC, followed by a lovely warm bath made little old me super sleepy, so I fell asleep!

But what added to this dilemma? Only me using my all time favourite bubble bath, dubbed my 'Sleepy bubble bath'.

Ladies and Gentleman, I'm talking about Champneys Skin Comforting bath milk!

Seriously, just a whiff of this stuff and I immediately feel sleepy! I can't say what it smells like, but I think it's close to sun cream! Either way, I adore it!

So yeah, blame Champneys for this late post!

So, what things make you feel sleepy? Let me know in the comments below!

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

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 9 - I'M FINALLY CURED

Hey hey lovely people!

Now, I know the title seems weird, but hear me out!

Okay, so as you know by now, since getting my braces on in April this year, I've had chapped lips. Now, initially, it was fine, I'd get bouts every 2 weeks or so, but it was completely manageable.

Then, about a month ago, it became extreme. I constantly had chapped lips without a break. My lip skin was peeling everyday and began stinging when I applied certain lip balms.

It's sounds so stupid but it was actually making be feel pretty sad, like it was never ending.

Well, that was until a few days ago, thank to a tip from my cousin: Use Vaseline.

No, I'm not talking about that little Vaseline lip therapy you get in a tin, I'm talking about full on, straight up Vaseline.

So, the next day, I popped into Boots and picked up a tub of Vaseline for just over £2, so already, I'm getting a better value for money, look at the size on it!!

Low and behold, ever since, my lips haven't cracked or peeled once. IT'S A MIRACLE!

So, to everyone suffering from really bad chapped lips, seriously, go out and get some Vaseline. It sounds so simple, and it is!

So, how many of you have ever had really bad chapped lips? Let me know in the comments below!

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

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 8 - The Sweater Weather Tag

Hey hey lovely people! 

Now, I know that sweater weather technically refers to Autumn, but here in the UK, I think we've gotten away with being able to wear casual clothes until the start of December, when it became bitterly cold.

Therefore, I'm giving myself the approval to do the Sweater Weather tag, of course, slightly adapted because it's now Winter.

Enjoy!

1. Favourite candle scent?

At the moment, though it's not necessarily a candle, my favourite candle scent is Blonde Moment by WickNWax. Seriously, it smells so good, so much so that I may be melting it right now. It's a mixture of champagne, raspberries and strawberries! 

But, if we're strictly talking about A/W scents, then it HAS to be spiced apple.YUM!

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate, of course! Specifically, a Costa white hot chocolate.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

Hmm, this is a difficult one. Not so much a specific memory, but going to my local park and taking photos of squirrels in all the golden oranges of Autumn. It just looks beautiful. 

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 

BOTH! Seriously, I refuse to choose. Combination please!

5. Best fragrance for fall?

Hmm, well, I don't really have a specific fall scent, but since I'm doing this in December, I'm going to call it A/W, in which case, it would be Chloé.

When I first bought Chloé, it was on my way to Paris in December, so it always reminds me of that. Is it sad that I'm getting upset about not being in Paris right now?

6. Favourite Thanksgiving food?

See, I wish the UK would adopt thanksgiving, purely for the excuse to eat a load of food! Now, the closest we get to Thanksgiving is Christmas, in which case, I'd say it's between roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. Mmm!

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

Well, Autumn in Wales is just pretty neutral. The weather doesn't become bitterly cold until December kicks in. 

Autumn here is just kinda cloudy. I don't even think it rained that much too.

8. Most worn sweater?

Easy. Old school, but my grey 3/4 sleeved Hollister jumper with a giant blue H, which I personally think resembles the Hufflepuff logo. Plus, it looks great with a shirt underneath. 

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

Barry M's Gelly Nail Paint in Paprika, with a matte coat on top. It reminds me of tan upholstery, which I'm pretty obsessed with! 

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

Jumping in piles of leaves.

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

Skinny jeans. They're so much warmer!

12. Combat boots or Uggs?

Combat boots. I have narrow feet, so wearing Uggs makes me walk like a penguin, way too much room.

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I haven't tried a PSL, though, I do like pumpkin. 

14. Favorite fall TV show?

Fall TV Show?! Really! Well, this Autumn, I've been loving American Horror Story, and I guess it relates to Halloween so technically...

15. What song really gets you into the fall spirit? 

I don't really have an Autumn song. I guess anything my Haim, they just seem more Autumnal.

WAIT! NO! Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood.

So, that's the Sweater Weather tag. 

Question of the post: What's your favourite thing about Autumn and Winter? Let me know in the comments below!

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

Lots of Love
