My Newest Love: Tetley Super Green Tea

I'm a good old fashioned cup of tea addict, so would rarely opt for herbal tea. I usually find you can't taste the flavour and think they can be quite bitter. However, I was curious about Tetley super green tea. Tetley has always been a favourite tea brand for me because it always reminds me of my nan and gramps house when I was growing up. So, it basically started my love of tea, and always made a great companion for ginger nut biscuits.

I tried the Super Green Boost and Immune teas in Berry Burst, Tropical, Lime and Lemon and Honey, and once again, Tetley didn't disappoint. The immune ones support your immune system while the boost help reduce tiredness. Obviously, two very important factors in our everyday lives.

They were so easy to drink because of the delicious tastes and sweet smells and I will definitely start buying them regularly. Perhaps they will gradually replace normal tea in my life because they are no doubt healthier. My favourite flavours were Berry Burst and Tropical, while my sister loved the Lemon and Honey.

If you're not a huge lover of herbal tea I would highly recommend giving these a try, you may just change your view.

Drinking a tropical one as I am typing this...omnomnom!

Rant Of The Week: Lacking Effort On Spontaneous Nights Out

I'm the type of girl that loves getting ready to go places. Some people say they can't be bothered with the effort, but that is my favourite part. If I don't spend at least four hours getting ready to go out, I may aswell not go. I've always been like this, if my outfit doesn't match well then the world doesn't get to see it.

However, some times my nights out are last minute ideas and I'm not at home to fire half a bottle of Cocoa Brown onto my legs or put on a bra that makes my boobs sit perfectly without drooping towards my toes. I basically head out white as a ghost with leg hair that hasn't been tended to since my last night out four weeks previous.

These nights usually start with me saying "I look rotten" and my boyfriend saying "No you don't, you look nice." Well, if there is anything I learned from this it is that men are bloody liars.
Off I go with my tights, flats, strap top, stud earrings and hair thrown up into that kind of messy, homeless look as I prepare to surround myself with highly intoxicated barbie dolls.

The night starts in complete comfort as I stroll through town in my flats but the worst thing happens as I get to the door. I don't get asked for ID. What? Hello? Are you really going to just let me walk in the door? Yes I'm 19, but I don't usually look old going out, how ugly must I look right now? It's because I'm not showing my legs isn't it? I'm not like 43 with four kids you know, you can ask me for ID? All these thoughts rush through my head as I stumble through the door in a deeply unstable emotional state...

Then as if the night couldn't get any worse, it does. You look around at all the perfectly smooth legs (that are at about eye level because everybody is towering over you in massive high heels) and inhale the stink of various brands of tan that are surrounding you. WHY DIDN'T I JUST MAKE AN EFFORT? At this stage I'm feeling like first year me all over again, a little unattractive and insecure about myself while desperate for the ground to swallow me up.

The only happiness I feel is the end of the night when I have the ability to skip to McDonalds for my chicken nuggets in my flats while every other girl has never been closer to death.

Note to self: Always make an effort going out. Always. Razors and straighteners are your friends, tights and extra layers for warmth are not.

Rant Of The Week: The Truth About The Girl's Bathrooms On Nights Out

Every girl knows the struggle of the bathroom on a night out. They are places of friendship making, emotional breakdowns and very often impatient people knocking on the door while you are trying to pee.

Men always wonder why we go to the bathroom in pairs and I must say, this is because they do not realise the dangers we could face at the other side of that door. And we probably need to borrow our friends concealer while she is having a right bitch about bumping into her ex best friend.

I don't know what it is about these bathrooms but we seem to think there is an enchanted barrier around the cubicle which stops our voices from going outside of it. I'll confess my love for a well known guy in town while ten other girls are waiting behind the few inches thick door, one of them being his ex girlfriend...be graaaand.

There really is nothing worse than drunk people shouting at you to hurry up while you're going to the toilet. Girl, you think you've got problems, I just saw the future father of my children getting off with another girl in front of me because he doesn't know I exist, please let me pee and contemplate my next step in life. These steps are usually wobbly ones in the direction of McDonalds.

Bathroom selfies usually show how much you have deteriorated over the course of the night. How did my eyeliner get on my chin? Were my fake eyelashes always upside down? Nevertheless, we take them anyway thinking we're utterly fab and then spend the next two days clicking untag on Facebook #NipSlip.

So yes, we do go the toilet as an army and often come out with an even bigger crew because we become best friends with fellow weeping women who let us borrow a hair bobble and a few clips. However, you can't always be sure these women are present and could also meet 16-year-olds who think you're staring at them and are ready to take you out.

It's a big bad world behind that door, one that men will never know...

You Know You Need To Start Keeping Up With Your Own Life When You're Dreaming About The Kardashians

Lads, I don't know about you but the Kardashian/Jenner clan are starting to take over my life. To be honest, at first I didn't really like Kim, but now if someone says something bad about her I jump in to defend her. SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW I EXIST.

Everyone knows Kylie is my favourite, I even have teal hair at the moment. I pay more attention to Kylie's life than mine. I apologise to all of my friends if you feel replaced, but she's just so cool. The other day I woke up at 4am sleep talking about meeting up with her...is that even healthy? Do I need help? I NEED to click on every Kylie story and I can't get my head around the fact that she is younger than me. Wow, have I been living my life wrong or what? She is by far the coolest family member. Even that Snapchat story of her eating the fried chicken. That chicken is dead and doesn't have any idea how heroic he ended up to be. Luckiest chicken ever.

Kendall is also one that grabs my attention, I feel she's a lot more simple and subtle than Kylie but still SO HOT. Like seriously, the face of Estee Lauder at age 19 and I can't even afford any Estee Lauder products. Life is grim, eh?

Today I went for a nap and woke up very confused by ANOTHER Kardashian dream.

I can't keep up with my own family but I can tell you where my main gals went for lunch yesterday and probs what they ordered.

My life is slowly passing me by as I focus on theirs, I need a good slap.

Nobody let me loose in Dublin ever again #broke

I've been in Dublin for a good while now and still hadn't treated myself to a mini shopping spree, so decided to do that today. I couldn't buy everything, unfortunately, but I am loving the things I did buy and am going to share them with you.

My boyfriends birthday is coming up and I have a dress from Boohoo on the way. In the clearance (which is really good by the way you should definitely check it out!) I saw a gorgeous pair of pink snake print sandals which I fell in love with. As you can imagine, for only €19 I was sickened that they weren't available in my size. Luckily in life, fate always finds a way and today in Penneys I spotted ones that were practically identical and I had the chance to try them on. I'm usually a size 3, but the 4 were much comfier. Look how similar they are and the Penney's ones were only one euro cheaper.

To match the snake print on the shoes, I bought myself a Penneys clutch for €8 . My dress is black so I think the colour is okay because I'll just load on the good old pink lippie! 

My insane bargain buy of the day was this cute little fluffy H&M cardigan (I love fluffy things!) which was down from €30 to €5!! I could not leave it there for that price, that would have been a crime...

My favourite thing I bought actually turned out to be the best thing I've ever bought in all of my 19 years on Earth. I saw it on an English Instagram account a few weeks back. A girl who had bought it in Primark and ever since then I searched every Penneys I visited high and low but had absolutely no luck until today. I saw a super cute flounder top but put it back as soon as I saw this one.This top is just me. My life in a top. Dream. Can't even. There are no words.

To conclude, here are a few bits and pieces I saw around that are on my list to buy next time..ranging from barbie to mermaid shoes! All you need in life. Spotted in River Island, Penneys, and H&M. 

Common Mistakes All Girls Make Before Nights Out

There are some common mistakes all girls make before heading out (well at least I hope so and this isn't just me because if so that is EXTREMELY unforch). I do hope you can all relate, and if not then please just pretend you never read this...thanks huns xo

1. Not shaving our legs 

When laziness gets the better of you and you see bae..."Let's hope he shifts me while we're standing up, please don't touch my legs, please don't touch my legs." 

2. Snapchat stories

Letting your stalker and that shift you highly regret know that you are going out, they weren't planning on going out, but they bloody are now...

3. Wearing the wrong underwear
"I should have worn a thong, you can see my knicker line."
"I should not have worn a thong this dress is completely see through."
Them struggles.

4. Heels
You don't need time to get used to them, you can't get used to blisters and squashed toes, yes they're pretty but they don't fit you, so many regrets at 2am with your disgusting little toe struggling to stay in the shoe...dear god it's alive...

5. Not wearing a jacket and then another girl gets his jacket 
I had my flabby arms on display all night for nothing. She doesn't even deserve his jacket, somebody throw an invisibilty cloak over that girl and off to Maccy D's we go without her. And no, I don't want his creepy best friends jacket, I'm only cold if it's his jacket okaaaay...

6. Rushing your pre night out selfie
So it's the next day and you want to show everyone how great you looked, but not even Valencia can save you this time...

What is life...

Rant Of The Week: The Trials And Tribulations Of Being In A One YearRelationship

Today is my one year anniversary with my boyfriend Andrius Kvedaravicius. Many things have changed in a year but one thing that certainly has not changed is my inability to say his last name. Andy K it is. This is a strange moment for me, mainly because we were best friends before being in a relationship so I find this quite funny and to be honest, sometimes I still laugh when we're shifting when the realisation hits me that I'm kissing my good friend Andy K. For all the people also in relationships, do you ever wonder if you've become too comfortable? Like I mean, why is he still with me when I've stopped shaving my legs and have revealed my true psycho side? Maybe he's afraid of me, seems pretty accurate. Many things have happened in our relationship that we have gotten through..me attacking him with my bag of food during an argument was quite a low point but he saved my burger because he knew I would want it when I calmed down. A lot of our arguments end with me trying to be stubborn and dramatic and him making me laugh or cuddling me against my will like a little helpless puppy. He also chooses to point out my facial hair at the most inappropriate of times. I CAN'T HELP THE FOX GENE. Nevertheless we're going strong and I love him like 98% of the time (the other 2% is when he won't get out of bed and I have to drag him or when he stands outside the door listening to me pee to make me uncomfortable..I get toilet stage fright...) Here's to another year of romantic strolls to the chipper, constantly being told I smell like tuna, and pointless arguments!
