For people who are wondering what app i use to edit my photos, i use VSCO cam. It is a free app from apple store and play store. 

Didn't end very well

Anddddd straight after i took this photo....

This ended up happening......

As stupid as this sounds and childish...i was pretending to be a bat. Yes you read that right, i, a 16 year old was pretending to be a bat in the woods. Please say it's not jut me who does that?!?!?! Anyways, i couldn't see what i was doing or where i was walking and as soon as i know it, my ankle went under me. I just thought it was a sprain so i tried to walk it off. Nope didn't go off, just ended up in more pain. Couple hours later i ended up in A&E because the pain hadn't gone for hours and my ankle was starting to swell up. Turns out, i have snapped a ligament in my ankle (nice one jody -__-). So they bandaged me up, gave me crutches and told me to rest for a week or two. It's not going to be properly healed for 6 weeks so i still have to use crutches to not put much weight on it. All in all, if you're ever in the woods, don't pretend to be a bat. But if you do, make sure you look where your walking.

Its the most beautiful time of the year

Seems like forever since i last did a post like this. I never thought having college 3 days a week could be so busy and exhausting. But it has been. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday for me, are the only days i get a proper rest and to have time to myself but as it was nice today and Autumn is by far my favourite time of the year, i didn't want to waste a good opportunity to get some nice photo's. The weather is to me, perfect right now, its not too cold you need to take a big fluffy coat when you go out but just cold enough to wear thick tights with a cute dress and a thin jacket/cardigan. Tartan dresses or tops or jackets or leggings are a must have Autumn outfit must have for me. They go with anything really. The colours aren't so bright they look summery or too dark they look like winter colours but in the middle, perfect for Autumn/Fall.  

I thought i would try and keep to the colour theme around my dress. Red's, brown's, green's and blue's and i slight hint of mustard. Red lipstick to go with the red stripes, brown tights to go with the brown, green shoes to go with the green and the blue in my hair and nails kinda goes with the main blue colour. A different shade but still blue ;). I can't believe in 2 months its christmas!! This year has gone crazy fast. Hope you all are enjoying Autumn just as much as i am :)

A New Start

First of all i want to apologise for the lack of posts lately. The past couple weeks have been 1) VERY emotional and challenging and 2) exhausting. 

Three weeks ago, i started college. I'm not going to lie and say the first day was the best day of my life and that i was so happy and felt perfectly okay because, honestly, i didn't at all. I know it wasn't just me who felt terrified and didn't want to be there, i know that but everyone had their own reason to feel how they felt that day. Having a number of panic attacks and crying so much, my make up running all down my face and clinging on to my dad, wasn't exactly how i wanted to start college. But after a few days, i started to be more myself and open and eventually made some friends. Which i am very pleased about! But i think the main thing i have learnt is to just face your fears. Because if you do it over and over and over again, it will be less scary. Yeah of course you will still have that fear there at the back of your mind, but it can't do anything to harm you unless you let it. And that is a big thing i have learnt this past couple weeks. My anxiety and panic attacks are still always going to be with me, but i just try and not let it take over me and stop me doing things i want to do. They can't take over me or harm me as long as i don't let it.
College now is amazing. It is 100% better than school and a lot better than i thought it would be. I'm still not used to getting up at half 6 in the morning but i will do soon (i hope).

On the other hand and no surprise here...I have, yes you have guessed it...dyed my hair again. Opppsie! My habit and addiction for dying my hair is getting out of hand a bit now. I am very surprised my hair isn't dead or falling out yet. But i kinda got a little bit bored of just being purple so i just had to put blue init. For anyone who wants to know what colours i used. For the purple i used LIVE XXL and for the blue i used Manic Panic. (WARNING- the manic panic hair dye is very runny and liquidity) 

Hair Tips

As promised, here is my bright coloured hair top tips you may or may not want to know.
For starter's i have been dying my hair since i was 12ish and i am now 16. So i have had my experience of dying my hair. These are all the colours i have had since the start of this year (2014). The most asked question i get either on instagram or facebook is "what hair dye do you use?"
The main hair dye i have been using and which seems to be the best one for me is LIVE XXL. It has to be the most easiest hair dye i have used so far. All you have to do, is put it on damp hair and leave it for half an hour- an hour. Depends how bright you want your hair to be. Personally i leave mine in for an hour. To also make sure it goes brighter, i usually bleach either just my roots or all over. If you do bleach your hair, just remember to put a hell of a lot of conditioner on your hair after for a week or so. Just to make sure it doesn't feel strew like after. Also, try not to wash your hair too much, otherwise it will fade a lot quicker. Maybe wash it every other day. But if it does start to fade, just put a bit of the hair dye mixed in with the conditioner.
I currently hair purple hair and i have had it for maybe a week and it hasn't faded one bit. Purple has to be by far the best colour i have been. EVER.

If any of you are thinking of dying your hair bright colours, i hoped this has helped :D 

Denim on denim DUN DUN DUNNNNNN

Guess whos back, back again, Jody's back with a new outfit post. yeah.
Sorry i had to ;) but yes, i am back with a outfit post. Seems like forever since i last did one of these. It has been SOOO hot in england recently and i personally hate it! But whenever it's sunny, it is always a good opportunity to go out and take good, pretty photos. Me and my parents went for a little doggie walk at tyntesfield yesterday afternoon. 

Yes, i am wearing denim on denim. Don't judge, i didn't even notice myself until i got home and seen the pictures. This is a very must have kind of outfit for summer. A nice, thin floaty dress and a pair of light blue jeans. Oh and a flower crown! A summer outfit isn't complete without a flower crown.

End of a long journey

Since the beginning of this year, all i've mainly been doing is going back and forth to the doctors, either for blood tests, check ups or results. It doesn't exactly bother me anymore, its just like a normal thing to me now. It has been a pretty long, stressful and emotional year but it is FINALLY starting to look up and be better. I apologize for the lack of posts recently, but i promise to start doing them more regularly and more interesting ;)  

bubble gum head

It isn't exactly a shock to see my hair being odd and weird colours anymore. But it is such a pain to decide what colour to go when you are walking around the shop, going up and down and changing your mind every second. After about an hour later, i FINALLY went with blue. For you guys who follow me on instagram my hair wasn't this blue at the start. But that is the trouble with dying your hair every couple of weeks. I have been asked a few times how iv got my hair to be this bright and what i used. I will do a full blog post in a few days on my hair and what i've used, don't worry :) 

Snow White

And the white/bleaching blonde hair is back. For the past couple of months or so, i really wasn't happy with my hair at all. It was just a mess, but thankfully it's getting sorted this week. This morning, my mum bleached my roots and all the uneven parts. All in all, it's 100x better then it was. I don't really like being blonde, in my mind it's just plain and boring on me so hopefully, fingers crossed, this weekend after i get it cut and shaped, i will be going a very bright odd colour again. 

 um...i kind of got a little bit selfie crazy. Well thats what happens when you have nothing better to do on a Thursday afternoon ;)

Forest Adventures

Yesterday was by far one of the best days out i have had in a long time. Me, my boyfriend and my family went out for the day to westonbirt arboretum. And for you who have either read my blog a lot or know me pretty well, you will know that i love going to forests or woods. It has some gorgeous walks you can go on. And if you're like me who likes to go on adventures, you will like this place. A lot.

Mix and Match

It's been a while since i last did a post. Did you miss me? ;)
In the UK, the weather has now gone back to its normal self of rain. So yesterday was kind of the last chance to wear nice summery clothes for a while. I kept having second thoughts about if i should wear this dress with tights or not. It's a little bit on the short side. But it made a nice little summer outfit in the end. Don't you agree?

 Thank you stanley for photo bombing my picture. 

 These boots are so nice and cute, but..they're not mine unfortunately. Wish there were though. :( 

The Fault In Our Stars

I am 100% in love with this book. It honestly has to be the best book i have ever read. It is so addictive. If you are a teenage girl or boy around the age of maybe 14+ you have to read it. But last night, i went to see the film with a friend of mine. Me going to a cinema?? i know, shocking. I will admit i did cry...a lot but some parts of me were kind of disappointed. I don't know if it's just me being fussy but not everything was 100% perfect. I know people say they don't always get it right and books are better but just this once, i have to agree the book was better. For people who haven't read the book and have no idea what its about and want to go see the movie. All i'm going to say to you is good luck trying not to cry.  

Start Of Summer

What a hot few weeks this has been. I don't think there has been a summer this hot where i live before. I don't majorly love the hot weather. Specially because 1) all i mainly wear is black 2) i don't wear shorts or crop tops and 3) whenever i have panic attacks or get scared, as disgusting as it sounds i sweat a lot. So the hot weather just makes it 100x worse! But aside those reason, when the sun is out and its a nice day, theres lot of good opportunities to take nice photo's.

 As it was a nice afternoon the other day, me, my dad, my sister and her boyfriend went to the local beach. It was so windy but yet so pretty. For people who know me or for people who have read my older blog posts, you know will i love taking pictures of the sunset, specially on the beach. Just look how pretty it was!!

 The day after we took the doggies for a short walk in the local woods. It has been way too hot to stay out for too long recently. Even in the woods where it's shady and cooler than anywhere else, it was still boiling. Charlie is getting to be a bit of a lazy dog now so he always asks for a pick up when he can't be bothered to walk anymore. He is one spoilt doggy. 

Making A New Friend

As i actually had more energy today than i normally do, we decided once again to go to a National Trust place. I can't remember what this place was actually called as my memory is poop but all i know is there are lots and lots of different types of birds just walking around. Yes there was actually a peacock wondering around the gardens, well more than one, about four. I don't think i have ever been so close to a peacock before. They are so gorgeous.

 Apparently i looked like a chinese school girl today...so kawaii.

 This is my favourite picture i got of a peacock today. So blue!!!

 i found a cute little mirror in one of the gardens.
