My 2013 Favourites (part two)


Hey everyonee!
Welcome back to the second part of my 2013 favourites; as you are aware (if you read my previous post) there was too much information to include and therefore I divided it into two parts. Anyhow this blog post is all about my random favourites; little things I have been loving this year. As I mentioned previously (although this doesn't apply too much in this circumstance) if there's anything you would like me to explain more or review any things just let me know (my contact details are at the end of the post). Without further ado we better get on....


 

Music

Bastille are absolutely incredible! There music is so different to anything I've listened to before! Their voices are so distinctive and there just amazing! My favourite songs are Pompeii & Of the Night. My brother is also a massive fan as well & listens to them a lot. I think that's what made me take more interest in their music as its not really my usual type...








I have only recently taken an interest in Imagine Dragons & haven't really heard a lot of their music but they definitely deserve a mention because Radioactive, On top of the World & It's time are such amazing songs! Like Bastille its not really the type of music I usually listen to but that has changed dramatically this year!



The Vamps! I saw The Vamps live in concert in July ( they were supporting the Wanted) and I thought they were absolutely incredible! They only have 2 singles out but they're amazing! They remind me quite a lot of One Direction which is NO WAY a bad thing hehe! I think they're really talented and I can't wait till they release more singles...

Of course I'm going to include my boys! I don't care what anyone says I love One Direction! I think they're really talented & extremely good looking! They have released quite a few songs this year & that's the reason they're in my favourites post!

My girl crush number 1 ; Lana Del Ray! A lot of people find her songs & quite depressing but they're clearly wrong! She's perfect! Not only is she stunning she's an amazing singer! I don' need to specifically name my favourite songs because I love them all!
Girl Crush Number 2; Rihanna!
Shes too perfect & her voice is just wow! Shes such an inspiration & all of her music this year has been my favourite! I literally can't say anything else other than the fact she's perfect....
There has also been a lot of singles I have loved this year; How Will I love you - Ellie Goulding, Justin Timberlake has made an amazing comeback & Katy Perry has been
amazing but there's too many to includee!

TV

For this category there's not much to be honest.
I loved the series of The Face ; if you don't know what it is its a modelling show. It's quite similar to America's Next top Model but in my opinion better! It stars Naomi Campell, Erin O Conor and Caroline Winberg. It's amazing so I definitely recommend watching it on catch up!


I'm A Celebrity... Get me out of Here is always my favourite programme and in my opinion it goes to quickly! Joey Essex was my favourite this year & I thought he made it so much better!
Splash has currently made a re-appearance on our screens & I love Tom Daley! (Yes of course I'm aware he's gay but...) I'm hoping that should be good but I'm not too sure who they have on it....
Other than that I'm afraid there's not really been anything. Which is quite disappointing! I'm usually a massive TV lover!
 

Youtubers

This year more than ever I have taken a massive interest in youtube and watching videos &  I thought it made sense; as I have become SO addicted, to share with you my favourite channels / people.
 
 

ZOELLA! Zoe is my favourite youtuber ever, favourite blogger (even though she doesn't blog very often anymore) needless to say she is my inspiration! I literally love everything she does, wears and says. I'm aware that sounded quite weird hehe. I just think she such an inspiration to SO many people & I love watching her videos. Everyone if you have never heard of her (shocked) or watched any of her videos check her out +Zoe sugg.
Follow her on instagram: @Zozeebo

Tanya Burr! Tanya is amazing. I always love watching her videos & she does so much for youtube! She is a trained make-up artist and is currently releasing her own makeup brand 'Tanya Burr's Lips and Nails' that launches on 30th January. Again if you have never heard of her follow her on:

Louise / Sprinkle of Glitter! Firstly can we just acknowledge how cute baby Darcy is! IF you have never seen Louise & Baby Glitter (Darcy) then as soon as you finish reading this post go & check them out! Louis is Zoe's best friend & they're a pair well matched! She's such a lovely lady (not that I personally know her hehe!) however that's how she portrays herself & her videos brighten my day (cringe but...) yeah, shes been a youtube favourite of mine this year so check her out!

Last but not least my Alfie <3 Can we all just take a moment to understand how gorgeous he is haha! Only joking hes taken... by ZOE!! (Zalfie) They are just the cutest couple ever! Nevertheless Alfie's videos are great! He has quite a few channels including a gaming channel. Again he seems like a genuinely nice guy & I love watching his videos! & has been one of my favourite youtuber's this year... Check him out:

 Others / Random

Okay so the last few things don't really have specific category's as such as they are all different therefore I will just show you them in one go! From now on I will be doing my monthly favourites therefore when it comes to this time next year I will have more of an idea what I have really been loving as it has been quite hard thinking back to all the way to last January haha!
 
Okay I'm going to start with my love! MINIONS! They are just the most adorable things ever haha! I just find them hilarious, cute & amazing! This is Dave;) I purchased him in America! He is basically a robot minion & he talks, dances and eats bananas ahh! However he was quite pricey:( ( $40 )
Minions are just my favourite things and I have loved them this year! Especially going to Universal and the film is also fantastic!

On a more mature note... I have taken a major interest in candles this year! Specifically Yankee Candles however any candle with an amazing smell satisfies me:) These are probably my favourite two this year 'Fresh Cut Roses' and 'Manderin Cranberry' (excluding the Christmas collection) . They both completely differ in scent and I prefer the red one as I generally prefer spicier candles to sweet. Anyhow, I have been loving candles this year!  

Excuse the bad quality photo, the lighting was terrible however I'm sure the content makes up for it! If you have never tried this before, walk out of your house & drive to Sainsbury's and buy it...NOW! It is only £1.19 and it is the best drink ever! I also think the packaging is super cute too! I have been absolutely LOVING this drink this year!

 Again excuse the bad lighting but this year I have been loving the Katy Perry Perfume 'Killer Queen' it smells amazing & I sincerely apologise I am extremely bad at describing smells however it's quite a suttle scent. It lingers for the whole day making you smell fresh & beautiful haha! Anyway I definitely recommend this perfume to everyone! (I'm also a Katy Perry fan so...bonus haha!)
NUTELLAAAAAA! Oh my... I can't even describe my love for this..... It is just the best food EVER! I adore it & can never have enough... which isn't very good but I don't care! I tend to just eat it out of the jar with a spoon haha, but don't pretend like you don't either!  Anyway, share my love of nutella with me & go and buy some....haha!
 

Marshmallow Fluff :) Similar to Nutella I just eat this out of the jar however I find if I eat to much it begins to taste quite artificial (which it is) and I begin to feel quite sick haha! (I wonder why)? Needless to say it does taste like fluffy sugary rainbow clouds...( I told you I was no good at describing things!) If you love nutella... you'll love this too! :D
 


Okay, so with these last two picture's I'm not going to go into much detail about as I am planning a blog post which includes these two in. However Soap & Glory has been my favourite for years and never fails to disappoint. Especially this collection and that's all I'm going to say... I have reviewed these and the blog post should be up soon.
Similar to the Soap & Glory I have a blog post planned very soon therefore I don't want to spoil anything however I have taken an absolutely HUGE interest in lush this year and there was one point where I actually owned all the Halloween, Christmas & Snow fairy collection yet alone random bath bombs because they were to beautiful I didn't want to waste them (you officially have permission to call me a saddo due to that!) Anyhow lush is absolutely amazing & relatively cheap too so I would definitely check it out!
 
 
 
We have finally reached the end of the post and I really hope you enjoyed it! I'm always open to any suggestions as I sometimes struggle with ideas, however I think I have quite a few 'hopefully' enjoyable posts coming up so that should be good! I'm really sorry if I am late posting as I am back at school though and my homework is slowly starting to pile up again...grr... anyway guys, have a good rest of the week & thanks for reading!
 
Byee!
