Plans for spring break.

Today I decided to share some of the things I want to do/will be doing during the Easter holidays so if you guys want some ideas for what you could do then you could take inspiration from this post. I would really like it if you guys commented some of the things you are going to be doing so I can have some new ideas!

1. Film LOTS of videos.
 The holidays are always a prime filming time as I have longer days (as I can stay up later!) and more time. I also like to use this as a time to pre-film some videos for the weekends where I'm busy.

2. Write some blog posts.
  I've been kind of slacking on posts recently so throughout the break I want to pre-write some spring/summer themed ones, but also some ones about things I've been getting up to.

3. Go to Ikea!!
  As it's my sisters birthday this holiday (April 10th if you were wondering), one of the things she wanted was to get some stuff for her room from Ikea. I also want to grab a few bits for my room (i.e. a new desk!) so I'm actually really excited for that trip as who doesn't love homeware? (I promise I'm not a middle aged woman).

4. Getting my room spring/summer ready!
  At the moment my room is very autumn winter themed/girly random stuff that I'm not into anymore. I have a lot of floral print stuff which I'm really not into anymore, so I want to re-decorate and put away the winter and old girly floral things and bring out the bright spring/summer colours that are more "me". I also have been obsessed with DIY videos on YouTube at the moment, so I want to try create some of them.

5. Shopping!!
  Now who doesn't love a good shopping trip? I have a few planned with some of my friends on different days and will probably do one or two with my family.

6. Pretty Little Liars Catch Up.
  I'm only on season 4 and season five has just finished so I want to catch up on that while I have the free time - although I'm sad because twitter decided to tell me who A is.

7. Hanging out with my friends.
  I also want to take this break as an opportunity to have some fun days with my friends: movie marathons, sleepovers, all the usual.


I have a few other things up my sleeve but I'm not 100% sure they will be happening,  but if they do, I want to create whole posts on them, instead of just a small mention. Let me know what your plans and ideas are because I would love to know what you guys are up to and some more ideas of what I could do in my free time.

Movie Marathon Gone Wrong..

Today I went to my friend Liv's house with my other friend Kinno. We were planning on having a Hunger Games movie marathon as Mockingjay part one just came out on DVD, but when we got there we decided it was a really nice, warm day (which hardly ever happens in England) so we thought we would make the most of the day and go outside. First we went to this place called Parr's Pool, which was basically a lakey pond thing which was really pretty:






Then we went to what they call "Top Pitch", basically a huge field with a football pitch, where we sat in the sun making daisy chains and talking for ages.







Then finally we planned to go to this Sensory Garden but none of us actually knew where we were going so ended up walking for quite a while and finally got to a road which turned out to be the like main road through their town which was cool because we finally knew where we were. After that we gave up on the sensory garden and instead we just decided to go to the park which was really fun. Through the many fields and woods we walked through (before we found out where we were) we took these pictures:




Overall it was such a great day and I wish we had more days like that. Fingers crossed there will be a few more in the coming spring/summer months. There will also be a vlog of the day being uploaded on my vlog channel on Thursday so if you want to watch that when it's uploaded you can subscribe to that channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/mylifeashad). I hope you liked this style of post as I found it really fun to make, let me know your thoughts and wether I should do more of these like 'Day In My Life' posts? x

Things are changing...

I've decided I want a change. A change of this blog. I feel like I've just been writing posts for the sake of them, all of which have mainly been beauty themed as I never really dedicated time to writing them. I also want to change my blog name and URL so when people come on to it they don't think oh this is going to be beauty themed because that's not how I want it to be.

I've decided I want my blog to be personal, where I can share my thoughts and opinions on things, or stories about things that have happened to me. Thing like my two "different" posts where I talked about haters and standing up for yourself. I want my posts to me more like that and less like the standard "Beauty Guru" blogs where everything is makeup/fashion themed. Which don't get me wrong, I love them, but recently I've been enjoying more chatty/personal blogs, which is the kind of stuff I want to write about.

The topics this blog is now going to be about are:

  • Chatty posts - I want to share experiences/stories or things that have happened. Like funny things.
  • Advicey posts - Kind of like my #HadSays series on YouTube but blog version. Topics like Bullying, confidence and things like that.
  • Photography posts - I've been so into photography recently its like unreal, and I just love taking pictures of things, wether it be places I've been or even just things in my house or my garden.
  • Beauty - I still want to do posts about this considering it is one of the things I love.
  • Fashion - I still want to talk about this because its something I love a lot, especially fashion photography so expect to see some of that.
  • Lifestyle - I want to make posts on things like baking, books, music, travel, all kinds of things. 
  • The Future - I want to talk about my dreams, my hopes, my goals, things I want to do.

I've decided to change my blog name to "Thoughts At Thirteen" because I feel like its more true than "A Does Beauty" as I feel it is now more appropriate as these are my thoughts which won't all be beauty related. 

I hope you will support me on this decision and if you have anything you want to say please leave it in the comments.

The Fashion Tag.

So I know I don't normally do things like tags on my blog but my good friend Amy (HelloAmyy) tagged me to do this so I decided I would.

1. How would you describe your style?

I don't have a particular style it depends on my mood and what season it is. For winter I tend to wear a lot of black and grey and stick to knitted jumpers, jeans and boots, but in the spring/summer season I tend to wear more pastel/bright shades and more dresses and skirts.


2. What are your wardrobe staples?

<3 Converse
<3  Skinny jeans
<3 Knitted jumpers


3. Most expensive item in your closet?

To be honest I don't really know, probably one of my dresses or some of my Jack Wills things.


4. Most wanted item?

This changes pretty much all the time but currently there is a dress in New Look which I really love, or I would like some grey low top Converse, or a black boyfriend style coat.


5. Favourite Designer?

I don't really have a favourite designer like famous ones but my favourite shop is probably Zara or New Look.


6. How much do you spend on clothes?

It kind of depends on how much money I actually have because some months I will spend £10-£30 but others I won't spend any.


7. Where are your favourite places to shop?

New Look, Dorothy Perkins, Zara, Primark & H&M.


8. Favourite Fragrance?

I am currently obssessed with my Soap and Glory Mist You Madly body mist. It smells amazing!


9. What's your favourite way to do your hair?

Most days I just leave my hair down and straighten it, but if I do put it up it's usually in a side fishtail plait or a regular messy ponytail.


10. What is your go to outfit when you don't know what to wear?

<3 Grey knitted jumper or t-shirt
<3 Black skinny jeans
<3 Black converse
<3 Tartan Boyfriend Style Coat


11. One fashion trend you would come back to stay?

I know it's kind of back already but at the moment I am obsessed with pastels and bright blue for the spring and summer seasons.

Who do you tag?

Maria Beardall
TheJoysOfBeingPaige
and any one else who has a blog that wants to do it.
