When Them Feels Are Coming For You But You Don't Want Them

Rant Of The Week: When Your Sister Is Going To San Francisco

My sister is heading off to America tomorrow for the summer and as annoying as she is, I must say, I'm actually going to miss her, but also can't wait to lose the role of middle child. Saying that, I hope she brings the oldest child responsibilities in her suitcase with her because I can't be dealing with those all by myself.

I have many feelings about her leaving, she is my partner in crime, which is why I'm 99% sure she is going to sneak my only bottle of Cocoa Brown into her bag. I am going to spend the next 3 months realising half my stuff is missing and I am not okay with that. Luckily, I get to sleep in her double bed all summer, but what good is that when she won't be underneath it to grab my legs after watching a horror film? It's the end of an era... 

Looking at her wardrobe now all possibilities of happiness have been crushed because she has left all the stuff that I never wear and doesn't fit me. Which means I either have to wear my own clothes or go shopping for a new wardrobe that resembles hers. It's a hard life. 

When we aren't fighting over socks and she isn't chucking my stuff at me that has gradually built up to take over every corner of her room we are usually bitching and laughing about all the old times like when she sent me a fake Hogwarts letter...

This summer will take some getting used to that's for sure. Gonna miss ya Smelodie!

Rant Of The Week: My Dad When I'm Trying To Write Rant Of The Week

I used to think nothing distracts me more than the sound of silence, I always need music on when I'm writing. However, I have now realised that nothing distracts me more than my dad sitting there in silence when I am trying to write my rant of the week.

Anybody who knows my father knows he is a joker and loves winding people up, and while this is all well and good, it is very distracting when I am trying to channel my creativity. Dad, your Scooby-Doo impression is great, but I have heard it approximately 1,367 times since birth and am trying to write a blog here. He always means well, but sometimes it can be more irritatng than he thinks. For example, five minutes ago he said he would light the fire for me because I am cold and right now all I can hear is the loud sound of chopping wood waking the whole house up. He always was an early bird, which was a delight for me at ten past eight on school mornings.

Don't get me wrong, he has some uses, there's usually cups of tea flying out of the kitchen every twenty minutes when he's around, but I also know he does things to annoy me on purpose. When he calls me moody (Pffft, I never get moody), or when he says "You listen to some rubbish, don't you?" as he presses play on Disco hits of the 70's. Dad hun, what you at? Yes sir I can boogie, what does that even mean?? He is currently singing "Boogie nights uh-huh uh-huh I like it" while shoveling coal, and no sir, he cannot boogie. This, obviously, is an issue for me as I am trying to listen to Ellie Goulding.

He has now informed me that his dog Fido would be over 350 years old in dog years if he was still alive because his birthday was yesterday. He can't remember my age but can remember the important details about a dog that died in 1978...

I'm moving out...

Spotlight Stories: Moving In More Than One Direction? Baby No2 for Kimye, and Marrying Mr Wright

I have decided to start the celebrity section of my blog today after waking up to the distressing news that One Direction are apparently taking a break. This is called Spotlight Stories and will be a weekly feature on my blog, although I'm not fully sure what day each week yet, but I will keep you updated.

In relation to 1D though, lets face it, we all saw it coming, it's not as if Zayn's shock departure was exactly a minor setback for the band, it was huge for the heartthrobs They just lost their high-note hitter and one fifth of the yummy-ness. That is a rather big chunk.

However, the reports of a break may not be true, as their publicist has said it is "pure speculation", but I suppose you never know. Aswell as this, those cheating rumours, along with Louis' feud with (possibly of one of the most irritating men on the planet in my opinion) Naughty Boy didn't mean it was all smooth sailing for the boy band. I personally don't think they will get back together if they do go on a break after 2016, this does upset me because I'm a Directioner at heart, even if I didn't prove it by doing anything extreme such as spending weeks in bed crying when Zayn left, or asking Charlie the spirit if Harry is my soulmate (I already know that he is, obviously). I just kind of, well, got on with my normal life. Unfortunately, I feel like the break will end up lasting a lot longer than intended and before we know it I'll be buying tickets to their comeback tour while beside my kids and anti-ageing moisturiser...

This isn't the only thing to be catching my attention lately, if Kim Kardashian is pregnant with twins, I genuinely want to ask her if I can keep one. And even if she is only having one baby, how exciting is the thought of another North? We all know she is the most sassy kid around. I had a feeling for ages that Kim was pregnant and was over the moon when I read that it had been confirmed. Eeeek, apparently she's due in December. I'm more excited about that arrival than I am about Santa...

I'm a bit behind on this one, but the most anticipated wedding of the year was one that sent women everywhere into extreme jealousy and sadness, including myself. Marrying Mark Wright AND being that hot? Michelle, we love you, but also hate you just a little bit we have to admit. The photos were shown in Hello magazine and I looooved her dress. The way it went out at the end and the cut out detail on the back. Ugh, girl can we be you please? Okay guys, the wedding is over, time for babies. We can't wait to see the outcome of those genes! No pressure guys...

Things That Are Possibly Worse Than The Leaving Cert

Firstly, you shouldn't even be reading this, tut tut. Anyway, I'm not one to judge...

I did my Leaving Cert last year, and I can admit that I didn't devote as much time to it as I could have. This years exams start tomorrow and I'm sure there are many worried students across the country, however, despite what is taught in schools, did you know that life actually goes on after the Leaving Cert? I am living proof of this. I'm still sarcastic, loud, a hopeless romantic, clumsy, addicted to tea and absolutely horrendously bad at maths. Nothing changed too dramatically when the "most important exam" of my life ended.

I can assure you, as stressed as you may get trying to work out every single detail of a circle or graph (because you will definitely need this in everyday life, obviously, all the time) and no matter how many tears you may cry after Biology (that was me, I literally knew nothing and passed the hours trying to figure out whether or not I spelled Photosynthesis correctly) you will be fine. If you've been listening at all all year, you will definitely know something.

Some of you may kill me for this, but to lift some spirits I have decided to list some things that are (in my opinion) worse than the Leaving Cert...you probably won't believe me or appreciate it now, but you will when you realise after a few months that what's for you won't pass you and everything will fall into place the way it's supposed to eventually.

Here goes, A1 student right here (at least I'm honest...)

1. Hitting your toe off the corner of a coffee table
Wouldn't you much rather be sitting in a hall writing about lovely poetry? Thought so...

2. Double French
Once the exam is done that's it, if I had to go back I would do the real French exam 10 times before stepping foot in the classroom for eighty minutes of torture, and any Loreto student knows the fear of the dreaded egg timer from hell...

3. Seeing the love of your life kiss someone else
Don't deny it, there is no heartbreak like it. Love life and future happiness- 0 Modh Coinniollach- 1. How unforch.

4. Going to make tea and realising there's no milk
I can't even talk about the pain this brings to the world...

5. Turning up to a party wearing the same dress as your worst enemy
Oh wait, you're all wearing the same pinafore, never mind. #awks

Best of luck everyone, the worst part is behind you now and it's all adventure from now on! :)

New Look Pure Colour Dip Eyeliner

As much as I love make-up, I still cannot properly perfect my eyeliner skills. The only one I was using was my gel eyeliner.

I had no idea New Look were doing make-up until I went in for a browse recently. One of the first things that caught my eye were the affordable prices. I immediately went to the eyeliner to have a look because I am dying to practise it. I picked up the Dip Eyeliner in 01 Black, which is water resistant. At only €4.99, I said I would give it a go.

I tried it for the first time over the bank holiday weekend and I have to say I really do like it. To be honest, some parts I had to go over a few times to fully cover but other than that I had no problems. (Apart from spending seven hours trying to get the winged look even on both sides, obviously... )

It was easy to work with and I was surprised how well it applied. For less than a fiver this certainly surprised me. I love the look of a liquid eyeliner and how dramatic you can make it, this is my favourite kind of make-up look.

The end result with Pure Colour Dip Eyeliner

Overall, I was delighted with how my make-up turned out for Sunday night. I went for dramatic winged eyeliner and was very proud of it if I do say so myself! Definitely worth a purchase, and the whole New Look Pure Colour range is a gorgeous bargain beauty buy.
