A list of dreams

Hello everyone and welcome back. First of all how are you? I'd like to know. I hope your doing good. In today's little write up I'm going to be sharing a list of things I'd one day like to do in this humongous world. I'm a dreamer and I often dream of adventure. Of when the time comes I'll leave my little nest of my hometown, pack a bag, say my goodbyes and see the world.
 
Number one on the list of ever growing things I'd like to do with my life is go to somewhere in need. In need of the things we take for granted. Somewhere maybe like Kenya, Ghana or Brazil. And help. Just help. Make a difference and open up my eyes. Make a change to someone's life for the better. It warms my heart to think I could make a difference.


 
Number two, visit somewhere magical. Their is a lot of magic in this world it just takes some digging to find it. Looking at the sky at night steels my heart with its array of mixing colours and twinkling stars. The Northern Lights. Sitting on a hill, having small talk, drinking hot chocolate in the nippy cold weather with a good book on my lap sounds like perfect.

 
 
Number 3, go on a real life safari. Coming face to face and being meters from wild animals that get to rome free amazes me. Watching the sun rise and seeing wildlife come to life.

 
 
Number 4, the dangerously scary. Well not really. Adrenaline. What do you get it from? That blood pumping, mega heart beating source of energy that gives you a rush of joy. Mine I have discovered is not from being scared. More like doing something awesome. Like going to Australia and sky diving, scuba diving or bungee jumping.

 
 
Number 5, National Park Croatia. A country I know nothing about. Except that it is home to hidden beauty. I'd love to escape for a day and dive into the secret corners of beauty in the world.



 That is all for now everyone what adventures would you like to go on one day?
Goodbye Universe 🌙💫.

Endless Inspiration

The app that sits in the corner of your phone with the big red P. Pinterest that's the one. I've always been a fan of scrolling through beautiful pictures. And when Marti from pink smarties. (Blog linked here .) Did a post about the app I thought I'd do something similar. If your not familiar to Pinterest it is like the little sibling of tumblr. A photo sharing app which always you to 'pin' photographs to your boards. I don't know what it is but this app has got me addicted. Scrolling through endless seas of inspiration on every topic you could cover. When lacking inspiration, motivation, courage, ideas, things to do or you need cheering up Pinterest is great. I especially love searching pictures of amazing places. Along side style and hair idea's. If on the rare occasion I want to try something new. One thing I love about pinterest is how easy it is to use. Making it quick and simple to find what I'm looking for. I'm now going to share with you some of my favourite images.




 
 



 

Hope you enjoyed, Goodbye Universe 🌙💫.

Current favourites// April 2016.

Hello everyone and welcome back, today I have my current favourites for you. 
 


Starting off with skincare I have been loving the lush magnaminty face and body mask. This retails around £6:50. It has a very minty refreshing smell and is great at exfoliating and getting rid of any dirt. As well as cleansing pores. Speaking of exfoliating I have been loving the tee tree exfoliator from the body shop. I use this morning and evening as it really opens my pores and gets rid of any oil and dirt. And since I have acne prone skin it is important to make sure their is no extra oils or clogged pores.
 Now moving onto beauty/makeup items first of I've been loving the Maybelline brow drama in dark brunette. I am currently growing my eyebrows out but still trying to shape them at the same time. This is a great product as it really helps define, hold, shape and add a tint of colour to them. It is also a good size for travelling and very affordable. A mascara I've been loving recently is the max factor false lash effect. This is at the higher end of the drugstore but totally worth it. It adds a lot of volume and length to my lashes as well as helping them appear thicker. It is a good consistency and dry's quickly so you don't have to worry about smudging. Now when it comes to nails I am no artistic expert. (That's my cousins job.) But at the weekend I do like to give them a quick coat of the Essie Liquorice nail varnish. I like that this dry's quickly, lasts a long time and only needs one or two coats. Normally when I get out the shower I want to straight away wrap up in comfy clothes. But before hand I've been lathering myself in the body shops raspberry body butter. I love how this fruity smell lingers on the skin. The body shop body butters are an amazing value for money and so moisturising.   
 
Now its time for more random favourites. I couldn't go a blog post without mentioning one direction right? Obviously I've been loving made in the am. If I could  fly especially. When I'm not listening to music I've been addicted to doctor who. It is a not so secret anymore love of mine. I grew up watching it and love it. I now own series 2 on box set and have 1,3 and 4 in my basket online for when I have the money. My fashion choices aren't the widest. I do have a strong love for my dark purple and black checkered flannel. I love how soft and comfy it is. I also have a strong connection with my black Harrington jacket from urban outfitters which I got for Christmas. They are just so easy to wear.
 I'm going to finish off with youtubers I've been loving. First of all fun for Louis. I love all his positive energy and brilliantly filmed vlogs. They make me realise how much I want to travel. Another vlogger I love is Jim Chapman. Something about him just brings a smile to my face. My other favourite youtuber at the moment is Samantha Marie also known as the beauty crush. Everything about her is just perfect. She is funny, realistic, relatable and gorgeous. Her sense of style is so unique and trendy. All her content I absolutely love. Anyway that's all for now everyone

Its been a while

Hello everyone its been a long time. I've write this post and re write it several times not quite sure what to say. I've spent a lot of time dreaming recently about what I want my life to be and what I want this blog to be. Firstly I hope you had a great New Year and amazing Christmas.
You may have noticed I've had a bit of a spring clean around here. Only keeping the few posts I am proud of. I was looking back and reflecting on all the content I wasn't happy with. So I'm going to start fresh. Back over a year ago in December 2014 I created this blog and I was set out on following the trend in which that I mean a pastel blogger. I love them with all respect but I feel like that's not for me. I hope not to offend anyone. But with the mini refresh of this new blog its going to be what I want. Uploading when I want and of what I want. 
I am no longer the old pastel blasts I was I've magically transformed into Hello Universe. Here I'll be rambling on about anything and most likely everything. I've also decided to ditch the old instagram and start new. Although I'm keeping the old photos for future memories. If they is Instagram in the future. We don't know. They could end up being multi face time and Twitter 500 X without Tweet capacity.
I hope you've been having a nice life recently. Mine has its up's and it's down's. Because I'm human. And before this turns into some emotionally deep chat about society I'd like to talk about Christmas.
How was your Christmas this year? Lets chat about it in the comments. I must say no matter what year it is I always love the Christmas magic. Even though the English weather was clearly not co-operating with the idea of a white Christmas. But oh well, I had a lovely day anyway with the family. I finally had a excuse to wear my big black chunky heels and burgundy cord aline skirt. I might do a rather late what I got for Christmas I don't know.
But before Christmas is always school which is always rather boring. By boring I'm referring to hard complicated Science lessons. Not my finest subject. But for some reason whenever it comes to tests I end up fairly well. 75% not to bad. (Not to future self try and achieve that on a real GCSE in 2 years time.)
 Also I was thinking this summer to ditch the brown locks and try something new for a few weeks. Not necessarily dye. I have no knowledge on anything to do with hair. But if you do would you please explain if they is any way to bleach or dye my hair without ruining it and loosing its natural colour. Or are my thoughts a bunch of rubbish? Because I'd quite like to go pastel purple or light grey.
Also on the topic of advice I am still having endless break outs and want them gone. I know I'm just starting as I enter my teenage years but could someone please drop advice on how to defeat these red horrible monsters.

 
Anyway I think I've covered every thought on my mind.
Goodbye Universe ✨🌙

Lush Christmas Haul//Hello Autumn 2015.


Hello everyone its pastel blasts here and today I have another cheeky haul for you. I'm sorry for another haul straight after my last but today this haul is scheduled to go up as part of a good friend Laurens blog collab week. So when I went shopping for my other haul I got quite a few lush bits so I thought why not make a separate haul. Also this is a collab with the amazing Lauren as part of her epic collab week. Which I'm super excited to be a part of. Her link will be left below.
 
I'm going to start of with the normal range things I picked up.
Firstly I got the Comforter shower cream this was £4:95. Its smells of sweet blackcurrant.

 I also picked up the Intergalactic bath bomb which was £3:95. It smells of mint and looks like its going to make some amazing colours in the bath.

From the Halloween range I picked up the sparkling Pumpkin which was £3:65. This is very glittery and smells of oranges and spice.
 
Now lets move onto the Christmas range!!
Starting with this cute little guy, peeping Santa. I think this is new this year. Its a bubble bar which was £3:95. It has quite a vanilla like simple smell, nothing to over powering.
 
Something the complete opposite in smell is the Luxury lush pud. This is a Christmas classic which made its epic return this year. This was £3:95. Its got some interesting colours in their and smells really spicy and musky.

Something that you can't resist is butter bear. Its only £1:95. Its a bath bomb/melt. I cant describe the smell but what I know its delicious. And he's so cute.

I couldn't help but pick up the classic snow fairy shower gel. They've revamped the packaging a bit this year but its still smells as good as ever. This was £3:95.

Finishing of this mega haul is my favourite thing. I think this is a new addition to the range correct me if I'm wrong. This is the magic of Christmas reusable bubble bar. This was a tad over priced at £5:95 but you do get around 5-8 baths out of this. Its actually similar to the magic wand as in the way its presented. Its very glittery and a gorgeous orange colour. With a star in the middle. It has a little bell and red ribbon along the stick. Which I thought was a super cute touch. The stick itself is shaped like a cinnamon stick. Its smells very spicy and warm perfect for Christmas. Hats of to you lush I think I've found a new favourite.

That's all for now everyone. Talk soon xxx
What's your favourite thing from the Lush Christmas edition?
