Music Monday : Song Lyrics

Hey Guys,

I was listening to some songs that I have recently stumble apon & fallen in love with. Then I started to question why I like these songs so much. One of the reason was the lyrics.

Here are my favourite lyrics from some of my favourite songs.

Daughter - Youth

"..if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.

'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.."

There is something so hopeful in these lyrics. Even if you have been through a hard time, other people may have been through worse & you should count your blessings and call yourself lucky.

Marina & the Diamonds - Savages

"..Underneath it all were just savages hidden behind shirts ties and marriages.."

This song is very unusual & I think that's why I like it so much. I like the message behind these lyrics that even the people who seem civilised may not have very civilised thoughts or actions.

 

James Blunt - Bonfire Hearts

"..People like us we don't need that much just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts.."

 These lyrics set a lovely reminder that life is simple and we don't need materialistic things to be happy, just people we love.

Let me know some of your favourite songs & lyrics in the comments

Love always,

Fashion Rut

Hey Guys,

 

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a fashion rut? You open your closet to find clothes that you either live in or never wear. Well that's exactly the problem I have.

 

I feel bored of my current clothes & want to wear something new.I have gone shopping a few times in an attempt to solve this problem. Only be met by a vast amount of crochet crop tops and booty shorts. Which I don't want to wear everyday, needless to say we don't have that kind of weather here. I bought mom jeans the other day & I love them but I don't know how to wear them.

 

I don't know I just don't feel like I don't know my style at the moment its this weird mess of casual and simple with a desperate attempt to inject more colour. I think I got caught in the transition of the new season.

 

The shops are filled with festival wear which I am very excited to wear to concerts. But I just don't feel like I can wear that style when I go about my day in a rural town in Ireland. I'm planning on going shopping soon and having a through look in the shops. I want to break out of my comfort zone & wear things I wouldn't
usually.
 

Hopefully I will find some inspiration, I'll keep you updated.
 

 

Let me know if you have ever felt this way and let me know if you have any advice
Have a good weekend!
 

Love always,

Nixie

Music Monday

Hey Guys,

This post has been a while coming as last week I was really busy, it was also my birthday so I spent a lot of time with family & friends. #Blessed.

Today I am going to be talking about music. I love music, listening to music, dancing & singing to music.I especially love sharing music.
That's why I'm going to be sharing with you some of my favourite artists.

Little Beauty Haul #3

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to be doing a mini haul..again oops.

I have been doing a few of these lately so I'll link them here and here if you would like to read them.

So here are my most recent beauty buys.

 

Revlon 24HR Colour Stay Foundation - I have been eyeing up this foundation for awhile now. I have been using my No.7 Instant Radiance foundation for almost 2 years now & as much as I love it, I felt it was time for a change. I have tried this out a few times so far & it gives a very dewy natural look. I really love it so far. A must recommend.

€13.00

 

 

 

NYC Colour Wheel - I have mentioned before that I have been on the hunt for a blusher & couldn't find one I liked. So of course I asked my best friend for some recommendations, and she recommended this one. I picked it up a few weeks ago & gave it a go. Its not very shimmery which I like because I don't particularly like the very shimmery look. It comes in 4 different shades I got mine in 'Pink Cheek Glow'. Its a very good price as well, I don't remember exactly what I paid for it but I know it was less than

€5.

Garnier Miceller Cleansing Wipes- I spotted these Garnier Miceller wipes in Tesco & they quickly grabbed my attention. I have heard of Miceller water & I have heard of cleansing wipes. But never the two together. I love Ganier's Micellers water so these seemed like a good travel version. These will come in handy as I will be spending a few nights away from home soon & my Garnier Miceller water tends to spill. I found out that these wipes are new on the market & at an introductory price of €2.49
 

Hopefully you enjoyed reading.
Hope you all have a good weekend!

Let me know what you have recently purchased.

Love always,
Nixie xx
