Today is my birthday ! I got so many gifts from friends and family, I'm so grateful, I even got a Vogue subscription, which I'm so excited for because I am obsessed with Vogue. I'll post later with the events of the day because today is the dreaded Harry Styles ticket war. Wish me luck !
Bye angels.
Today in Drama class, we learnt about Metamorphosis and Franz Kafka, and his views and ideas really stuck with me. He questioned why we, as a society, do things that we're told to do. We're always being told my governments and higher powers to do this, do that, make sure this is in on time... but why do we need to do these things? We're never told why.
It was just a thought. Now Metamorphosis is on my booklist and we're doing a play of it!

Can anyone who has visited the pink wall in LA tell me what is so special about it? I keep coming across videos of people taking photos against it, and is that all it is? A background for photos to show off to your friends? It is so ironic that the bins in this parking lot are full of Starbucks 'Unicorn Frappe' drinks. It is the illustration of consumerism. And they complain about the song, 'Ain't In LA', saying that Adela is saying people from LA are all the same.
I just personally don't understand visiting such an iconic place with lots of other things to offer, but to just drive to a painted pink wall (you could probably find one locally) and take photos pretending it's 2016?? It makes me a bit sad, if I'm honest. It's another example of how social media and influence has destroyed our lives. The Unicorn Frappe, which my friend forced me to try, is disgusting. Be so for real, no one actually finished that drink. The bins on this lot, as I mentioned before, saw many Unicorn Frappes that hadn't been drank - and obviously purchased just for the photos.
The pink wall in LA sits in a parking lot. It isn't even in an iconic area.
Anyway, that was just my thought of the day.

Today I saw 'Pressure' - a film following James Stagg, a Scottish meteorologist who was chosen to predict the weather for June 5th, and famously persuaded Dwight D. Eisenhower to delay the D-Day invasion. I would rate the move a solid 7/10. It was enjoyable, interesting and slightly cheesy, but not so much that it made me cringe (which most movies do).
Stagg is a genius, and well-known around the country for his expertise. Irving Krick is an American meteorologist who has predicted weather in North Africa and America, but never in Europe before. Krick uses historic logs of weather to predict the future weather, which he calls is completely sunny and perfect conditions for an invasion.
Stagg, however, disagrees.
He finds storms heading to France, which would ruin the whole attack. Eisenhower and his team laugh at Stagg's proposal to delay D-Day until the 18th of June. After countless arguments and eternal persuasion, Stagg finally gets Eisenhower to delay the attack. Meanwhile, Stagg finds out his wife is missing.
Bye, Divas !
Does anyone else agree that this week has been the longest week ever? I'm absolutely exhausted from the week, and so I'm taking this weekend to relax and be 'lazy'.
I think that a lot of people take the word 'lazy' as scroll on your phone, lie in bed all day, watch TV and don't answer the door. For me, a lazy weekend is just taking things slowly, but still going out, cooking food etc... So today I'm going to see a movie and walk around central London.
This seems like the opposite of a 'lazy' task, but to me this is a break. I'm always rushing around to get to different places, and so just slowing down and walking when there's no end-goal is super relaxing to me.
Also - my birthday is next week?! It feels like this year has gone by so quickly. It feels crazy. I'm nervous for my birthday because that is the day the dreaded Harry Styles presale happens, and I am going to get tickets. Whether they're nosebleeds or VIP packages, we need to see him again!!!
Tears for Fears is opening, (Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Head Over Heels, etc.) which is crazy because they're my Dad's favourite band.

Today marks 25 years since the tragic attacks in New York City to the World Trade Centre on the 11th of September, 2001. I thought I would post something in honour of the innocent lives that were taken during this event - many of which were lost in order to save others.
The North Tower was attacked at 8:46am, and the South Tower at 9:03am. Many only had the option of burning, jumping or passing out from the smoke.
344 lives from the New York City Fire Department were lost, along with 2,977 citizen deaths in total.
It is important to honour the victims, families and witnesses of this tragic event, which should - and will - never be forgotten.

I want to write about this because it was something I found striking during my English Lit class today. I was amongst eleven out of my class of thirty who was currently reading a book. And in a survey my school posted, only 36% of my school were frequent readers. That's just crazy to me.
Reading shouldn't be a chore. It should be for pleasure. Not just a way to build fundamental growth, but a way to dive into different realms and imagine things for yourself. You can design characters in your head, map out the different scenes and just really immerse yourself in the words.
I genuinely think you're not cool if you're against reading. There's a girl in my class who was making fun of us eleven who read, when in reality it's just sad if you're spending your time doomscrolling on TikTok when you could be reading. I won't be mean and assume she spends her time doomscrolling, but she sure doesn't possess much political opinions or debatability on certain ideas.
It is wrong to call someone politically unaware, because a lot of the time people don't form ideas on events mostly because they don't want to think about it. Maybe because they have family involved, or they themselves have some sort of personal connection to the affair - or it could just be that they don't want to think about wars and famine and corrupt governments.
I just personally love creating booklists, talking about books, writing reports on books and getting cosy in my bed with a good book. If people don't read, society dies. Society is unable to flourish if everyone is being influenced by social media.
It makes me really sad, this literary crisis we are facing. Some of my fondest memories are getting stuck in some really gripping books.
Little Women is one of my favourite books, and it pretty easy going. It is definitely one of the easier classics, so if you are reading this blog post and thinking 'Geez, I haven't read in ages!' go and buy a copy of Little Women, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, place it in another room and read.
Morning Angels,
I thought I would show you my make-up routine for this morning's post.
I usually use Nars concealer, but recently my one ran out and I can't exactly afford a new one on top of everything else just yet. I also don't always do this routine - this is if I want to do a full face. I usually just do concealer and mascara if I want to go natural.
I also use eyebrow glue, but I couldn't find a good photo for it.
I'll post later, angels.

Hello angels ,
Why was today okay? Like, I was expecting to be super tired, but tell me why I came home and actually did my homework without any procrastination?? Today was actually a good day - I had quite boring lessons but I like where I'm sitting in all the different lessons, so it's chill.
If you follow me, you will know that I love One Direction, especially Harry Styles - and recently Harry posted a pop-up on his website where you put in your address and he sends a letter ! Some fans have already received them. I have not yet, but I'm so excited to!
Posters from him have been appearing in cities such as Berlin, Madrid, Toronto and London with the date '10.09.26'. I'm so excited, that's in two days. And you know what that means? A 2027 tour. I was freaking out that he wasn't going to do London, but thank the lord - posters finally appeared in London.
Tonight I'm going to have pesto pasta for dinner. OMG I need to talk about lunch for a second. We queued 40 minutes at school to get in, and then we had two minutes before our lessons started, so the staff suggested we pick up one of the sandwiches or very quick meals, so that we can eat during class, but they looked so dry !! I'm so mad, and I'm praying tomorrow will be better.
My hair looks terrible from the rain.
BYE DIVAS !!!!
Good morning, divas,
I had a much better sleep today, so much that I found it difficult to roll myself out of bed and get dressed. Today is my first full day back at school. I think what made yesterday so tiring was the fact that it didn't really have any structure, and we were being sociable with one another at every point in the day.
Today I have Art, German, French and Latin. I'm not looking forward to Latin. I hate Latin. I'm super happy I'm being driven to school and picked up, that almost never happens and I have to make my way home via public transport. Ew.
I had a thought last night I wanted to write about, but it has completely slipped my mind. I'll remember it later.
bye divas !
divas,
I am so very tired, and it is only 8PM. I've decided I'm going to read a book in bed and fall asleep around 9PM, because I am so done with talking to people and bothering with anything. It is probably best I hibernate in my bedroom. But let's talk about my first day back at school.
I forgot how draining school can be. I'm sure it is because I became accustomed to the silence of my bedroom over the summer, and the soft clinking of mugs and the steaming of a coffee machine at my local cafe. I didn't even talk to many people. I was social with my friend group, caught up with a few friends but I wasn't talking that much.
The first thing I was told as I walked into the school was 'roll down your skirt', and later I received a behaviour point for my shoes. I wasn't even an hour back, and I had already mucked up. Oh well.
My anxiety spiked the most when we went around the classroom and had to say something about ourselves. I was already feeling so anxious about being back at school, and I was scared people were laughing or judging me (they weren't), but it was even worse when I sat in silence whilst everyone was waiting for me to say something! I ended up saying I like playing guitar or something very simple.
The fact that it was only a half-day and I felt that drained is kind of scary. Once we were dismissed, my friend and I hopped on the train to go to Covent Garden where we had plans to sit in this quite cool cafe. We didn't take the lift and walked up 197 stairs to the top, and we then realised how tired and drained we were, so we had some lunch and went back home.
On a good note, next week is my birthday. I quite enjoy knowing I'm the oldest in my class, mostly because it makes me feel more mature than everyone else - which I so am. Some people are so emotionally unintelligent it sometimes scares me.
I have to go back tomorrow, wake up at 5:15AM and do the same all over again. I hope I get used to it, otherwise this year will be tough. My brain feels really overwhelmed at the moment, so I might let it relax by not going on screens for the rest of the evening !!
Good evening divas, and good luck to anyone else who went to school.
BYE ANGELS !!!
Good Morning Angels,
Turns out I do have time this morning to write about school later today. I had such a bad sleep. I couldn't fall asleep for hours, and at one point I got seriously overheated and I went to the guest bedroom to sleep there instead, before returning back to my bedroom before I had to wake up.
The time is currently 5:55AM, and I am now ready. I did a full skincare routine and my make-up is completed as well. As for my hair? I'm not sure. I like it down, but I look better if it's up. I am so happy to have my iced latte with me as well.
I actually think I might be alright this morning. This morning I'm going to visit my Grandma on the way to school, which means I can get some really nice breakfast. Then, I'll have to enter the school. Sorry, I meant the prison.
bye divas (not in caps because I'm not feeling it this morning)
Divas,
I just had an everything shower in preparation for tomorrow. I'll likely post in the evening about my first day back at school, but I am dreading it. At least my legs feel super smooth and I smell like a coconut. But oh my days, I can't believe we're back to school already.
I have my morning routine all planned out:
- Wake up at 5:15.
- Get into my itchy school uniform and put on some under-eye patches.
- Make a morning coffee with vanilla syrup.
- Skincare + Make-up + Hair
- Pack bag, brush teeth, put on coat.
- Leave the house.
I've already had my annual breakdown I have before the first day of every term, but now I just feel nervous. But anyway, wish me luck.

Divas,
Update : We didn't go to the city (which would've been Cambridge) to pick up the AirPods, because we arrived at the station and tell my why the train tickets would've cost more than a new pair of AirPods? So then I was like... should I just buy some new ones?
I took this as an opportunity to upgrade to some noise-cancelling ones, and I was also close to buying a new paper-white kindle because mine is on its last legs, but I decided against it once I saw the price. It's always a gamble when my kindle runs out of battery whether it will turn back on or not, because it has survived many incidents involving water, being dropped down an airplane seat and dropped on hard floor multiple times.
I'm slightly having a little moment because school is tomorrow, and I hate school. But I'm trying to distract my annoying thoughts by blogging and thinking about Christmas.
bye angels XX
Good Morning Divas ,
Today I am travelling on the train to another city in order to collect my AirPods which I left in a college dorm a month ago. I cannot wait to see my AirPods again, I'm so excited. I woke up super early this morning because tomorrow is school and I plan to wake up at 5:15 tomorrow which will be a huge shock.
I know it isn't Christmas, but I keep listening to Christmas music and I can't stop. It's not that long until Christmas. I feel like 2026 has gone by so quickly. It hasn't been a bad year, but it's just been quite irrelevant and I feel I haven't done much this year. I certainly won't miss this year.
I did some pretty cool stuff, though. I saw Harry Styles, I saw Bruno Mars, I went to the Capital Summertime Ball and I had a good end to the school year, but my summer wasn't great. It was okay. But I'm hoping next summer will be better. I don't really like summer anyway.
I only begin living at Christmas.

I feel like every One Direction girl had a very important choice: which of the boys would you claim yours, and write fanfics and fangirl about? For me, it's always been Harry. I don't know what spoke to me about him, but I'd never go back on my choice. In second place, I would say Niall. But together, Narry Storan (if you know, you know) makes my heart explode, I love them so much.
I don't really know the point of posting this quick thought, but I was just listening to Niall Horan's new album, Dinner Party, which I love. I might go for a walk soon, I love walking. Especially evening ones, because I just focus on myself and my music, and everything is silent and perfect.
I've always been the person who finds pleasure in being alone. Don't get me wrong, I love having friends, and I love going out and having fun, but I don't mind sitting alone time to time. I have the ability to sit for hours in a cafe just minding my own business. I hope that isn't a sign of childhood trauma or anything.

Oh my gosh, four followers! I want to quickly thank everyone who followed and sent links, you all are so kind and creative with your blogs, so thank you so much for following.
About the musical last night. It was Stranger Things: The Final Shadow. It seemed to be a prequel to the huge Stranger Things series, and my friend told me that it was actually created after the fourth series, when Stranger Things really took off. The show opened with a video of newspaper clippings, before the curtain opened revealing a ship. I was slightly confused as to what was happening, but I think I got the general concept - the boat was trying to carry out an experiment where the ship would become invisible, but instead they accidentally turned into the Upside Down (a universe which has many supernatural creatures).
We then meet Henry Creel and follow him into his first day at a new school, after some sort of event caused his family to move from Nevada, the reason was later revealed. We also meet Joyce, a younger version from her actual character in the series. This is where the first floor in the plot happens: later in the play, Joyce finds out what is happening to the pets who Henry Creel has killed. She find out it is supernatural powers, but this led me to think - if she was so upset and terrified when her son went missing and she was being provoked by a supernatural creature in the series, then surely she wouldn't have been as scared if she knew people like Henry Creel existed?
I don't want to yap too much about the play, but it was insanely good. Especially the special effects, which were super advanced. It made me wonder how if you go to a normal play held in a smaller theatre, the special effects are cool, but then you go to a West End production and see some pretty advanced stuff. I remember going to see Frozen a while back, and Elsa's ice castle was crazy. It looked like the actual one.
To finish, guys, I'm going to thank you once again - and please do follow if you haven't already !!

Today is my best friend's birthday, and I'm so excited to see a musical. I'm obsessed with musicals, my favourite either being Grease or Matilda. I love acting, and I used to do it all the time but unfortunately life got in the way and I haven't performed as much as I used to.
In the past few days, people have been visiting my blog and commenting, so I just want to quickly say how grateful I am to be having this opportunity ! Feel free to paste the link to your blogs and I'll take a look (I'm obsessed with blog searching).
I've also gained my first follower, which feels like a huge achievement, so thank you so much. I'll write about the musical later. But for now,

Good Morning , Divas !!!
Today, I'm not doing much. I will walk around and sit in Gails coffee, and then come home and continue refurbishing my bedroom. I'm not doing much, but I have taken down all my posters (it is officially the end of an era) and I've purchased some furniture units to make my room a bit more... full. It's a bit of a shock seeing my wall that was once covered in posters now empty. It makes my room feel very big, but the posters were just not me anymore.
I got those posters two years ago, and I feel now I want my room to be more simplistic, but in a way that reflects my personality. I want my room to be a place I enjoy to lie in, and at the moment it is. It wasn't before, A - because of the heat, and B - because of the mess. Maybe I'll take a photo and post my bedroom here once it is finished, but it's not quite done yet.
I have ordered two prints of Vogue posters for the wall which will come framed, and I feel that's a lot more elegant. Talking of Vogue, don't we just love the recent issue? The issue I really enjoyed was the one with Daisy-Edgar Jones on the cover. I'm actually so excited for the new Sense and Sensibility movie to come out.
Ever since I can remember, I have been reading and watching Jane Austen novels and movies. I love the kind of romance where the man is genuinely smitten and my favourite has to be Persuasion. It does have a downside - my standards are extremely high, especially as I am also a romance movie lover.
I'll post later, divas... I hope to finish a book soon so I will post a review.

I'm back from my shopping trip, and I need to quickly rant. I bought the Michael Jackson Bad vinyl for my collection, as I already have Thriller, and I'm trying to grow my vinyl collection as much as possible. I am so tired from walking around, and something extremely disgusting happened on my way home.
I was standing on the platform with my earphones in, minding my own business. The train was due to arrive in one minute, and so I stand up and walk down the platform in order to get a seat on the train. I'm standing on the platform, and in the corner of my eye I noticed a man walking towards me - but I thought he was walking in order to walk down the platform as well.
The closer he got, the more I started to see him looking at me, and for some reason I didn't move, mostly because I was kind of shocked that he was coming towards me - mainly because I was fully covered today in a baggy coat and baggy trousers. So it was weird. And I didn't really notice until he was extremely close to me.
And then he did something I do not want to talk about on this blog, and I walked away quickly down the platform and noticed him following me !!!
So then I get on the train and sit down on a duo seat and place my bag on the other seat so he can't sit next to me, but tell me why he walks toward me and stands extremely close and did what he did on the platform (which was gross, I think you get an idea).
Then this woman opposite me who was with her daughter said 'Leave her alone' (#diva), and he suddenly turns around then runs down the train - obviously a bit troubled seeming as his eyes were darting everywhere.
What made this scenario so scary was the fact I was wearing a coat. The only skin you could see was my face. I was completely covered up. Anyway, divas... this is the reality of travelling alone in London as a woman... Stay safe out there !!!

Good morning !!
Today I'm meeting some friends to go shopping, and I'm obsessed with my outfit today. I'm wearing a pink Amara top from Brandy Melville, BDG baggy jeans and a pea-coat to make my outfit look all autumnal. It looks like it's going to rain today (isn't it always), so I'll bring an umbrella. I'm hoping to go into Hollister to find some clothes, but also I'm looking for a birthday gift for my best friend.
I'd love to see some of your blogs, please post them in the chat box so I can see !!!
Bye, Angels X
It's nearly my birthday ! I'm getting my nails done tomorrow in preparation for both my birthday and the first day of school (oh my gosh, stop don't remind me). Talking about school, I did some shopping today and purchased my favourite pens in the whole world along with doing some online ordering - tell me why stationary shopping is so so so expensive.
My package arrives tomorrow, so I'll post a haul maybe !! One thing I want to ask with the 'PINKTV' tab where you can currently watch an old Barbie movie (I'll change it eventually), would you guys be interested in seeing some of my own content?
Lastly, I'm going to add a tab where you can copy codes for cute gadgets I use or have used on my site, for your blogs ! If you use them, please do send a link on the chat on the left bar so I can see your blogs, I would love to see them so much !!
