Just A Quick Thank You!
To say I only created my blog 10 days ago, I'm extremely happy with how things have turned out! I created this blog thinking that it would be a waste of time, it wouldn't be recognised and nobody would read it. I couldn't have been more wrong! My first blog post was just a simple hello message to tell you all a bit about myself and what my blog was going to be about and why I was doing it...It's had 592 page views and 59 likes on Facebook. To me, who expected nothing at all, that's amazing and I'm so shocked and thankful. I expected so little of myself and this new hobby I've decided to take on has really taught me to have more self confidence within myself and what I want to do, and to anyone else who feels like doing something a little out of you're comfort zone, my advice is DO IT!
I also created a 'Bloglovin' account which is a site where you can read other blogs, follow people and they'll follow you back. It's basically a way to gain more followers and it makes you're blog more viral and recognisable. As it stands now, I already have 24 followers, which doesn't sound a lot but I'm so happy and pleased I already have that amount. I think it's hard to get people to follow and read something that may not be everyone's cup of tea, and it's definitely hard to gain followers and get you're blog noticed when you're new blogging amateur like me haha! So I'd just like to say a massive thank you to anyone who has followed my blog and to anyone who hasn't... Follow me! :)
Another great thing to come from my blog is that I've already had people from companies ask me to test out their products and review them on my blog. I find this incredibly exciting and I'm intrigued to what it might lead to! I won't mention too much as there will be a blog post coming soon, so look out for that!
Well, I had planned this to be short and sweet haha! All I'm trying to say is a massive thank you to everyone who takes 10 minutes out of their day to read my blog, like my posts and follow me. It means a lot and hopefully my blog will continue to grow! P.s Hope you're all having a great weekend! :)
Lots of love, Phoebe x

My Current Favourite Lip Products:
I definitely feel adding a pop of colour to the lip whether it's bright and vibrant or a cool, neutral shade, it really brings the look together making you look gorgeous! I own so many lip products as I always try to step out from the 'safe zone' of pinks and neutrals, however every time I do my makeup, I apply the same colour! I guess thats just the shade I feel comfortable in and what suits my skin tone best! Instead of boring you all with every single lip product I own, I thought I'd choose a few I wear every week! So enjoy :)
These are all my favourite products ranging from High End products and Drugstore! I also swatched them for you which I'll show below:

I guess thats just the shade I feel comfortable in and what suits my skin tone best! Instead of boring you all with every single lip product I own, I thought I'd choose a few I wear every week! So enjoy :)
These are all my favourite products ranging from High End products and Drugstore! I also swatched them for you which I'll show below:
From Left to Right:
1. The first product is the 'Maybelline Baby Lips' in the shade 'Pink Punch' - such a cute name! Is it just me who loves to read the names of makeup products and nail varnishes haha? Rather than a lipstick, this is more of a balm for the lips to help moisturise and nourish providing your lips with 8 hours of lip protection! The balm also has an SPF 20 in it which is perfect for the summer days. This product is available in six shades, ranging from the ordinary 'Hydrate' or 'Intense Care' balms to others with a pop of colour like 'Pink Punch and 'Cherry Me'. I love this product for when my lips are a little chapped as it leaves my lips feeling soft and conditioned! Perfect for only £2.99 and available at Boots or any other drugstore. Also...how cute is the packaging?!
2. Next up is a Mac product! I bought this particular lipstick for my prom last year as it is the perfect coral shade which goes perfectly well with any aqua blue which was the colour of my dress which is why it purchased it. This lipstick is a 'Sheen Supreme' in the shade 'Blossom Culture'. The name says it all, this lipstick gives an amazing sheen to the lips! It is a very creamy and moisturising shade and is very shiny and glossy on the lips. It's the perfect pink/coral shade which is great for Summer. A little more on the pricey side £15.50, but a great product and very long lasting on the lips. Can be purchased at any Mac counter or stockist.
3. This next lip product, I purchased to match the previous lipstick, 'Blossom Culture' however it can be worn on it's own if you wish as it has such great pigment for a gloss. This is another product from Mac and is a 'Cremesheen Glass' which is a gloss that provides the same creamy and sheen-filled look as a Cremesheen Lipstick. This is in the shade 'Imperial Light' which is a coral gloss with hints of gold shimmer running through it. Sadly, this is not available as one of the colours on the Mac website so I don't know whether they have removed it from the collection which is such a shame if they have! The colour is so pigmented it can easily be worn on it's own. The Cremesheen glosses retail at £17.50 and can be purchased at any Mac counter or stockist.
4. Seems to be a Mac theme here haha, I just love the lipsticks, as does everyone! This next product is a lipstick called 'Creme Cup' which again is from the 'Cremesheen' lipstick range. I just love the soft, creamy feel on the lips rather than a dry, matte shade! This is a cool tone, light pink with blue tones in it. This is very easy to wear, it can be teamed up with a dark, smokey eye for a neutral pink look or can be worn with a bright eye! This shade is perfect for fairer girls like me as it really compliments the skin tone well. Great product and is very easy to wear! Again this product, like all Mac products is a little pricey at £15.00 but I think there all such good quality and greatly colour pigmented whether it's a light or dark shade.
5.'New York Apple!' I love this shade, it's that perfect muted red with a gorgeous pink shimmer! It's not too red or too purple, it's a great in between and I think I will have to pack it with me when I head off to New York in July...just for the name haha! I tend to wear this colour throughout the Autumn/Winter months as it's that berry lip colour that becomes very popular around that time, but personally I love wearing it all year round. I looks great with pale or slightly tanned skin, with a nude eye, winged eyeliner and a berry lip! This is a 'Frost' shade from Mac which, hence the name gives a less creamy and a more frosty shimmer to the lip which can cause a lipgloss to be needed over the top, but for me I find I can wear it without! Its in between creamy and matte and I love it! Again very pigmented and excellent colour pay off! £15.00 for this one!
6. As you can see from the picture, this little baby is nearly gone! Just goes to show how much I love it. This is my second purchase of this shade from Mac and I really need to go out and buy myself another one! I think if you could marry a lipstick... I would marry this one haha! This is 'Japanese Maple' which again is a 'Cremesheen' shade. This is a light beige, shimmery colour which to me is the perfect nude! It's not too nude but not too pink. With me being pale, I thought staying away from pale colours like nudes was a big no no... it's instead a big yes yes! It looks perfect on the lips and great with many eye looks. If Mac ever discontinued this product I would probably shed a tear! £15.00.
7. Last product from Mac guys you'll be happy to hear! This is my most recent purchase as you can see it's still pointy! I've only used it a couple of times. This is a very light, pale nude...so pale I actually regretted buying it when I first applied it onto my lips! But now, I love it! This is 'Myth' which is one of Mac's 'Satin' shades. Satin shades are semi-matte so can be moisturised with a gloss. I wear a pinky gloss with this shade if I want to warm it up a little. Perfect for fair-medium skin! £15.00.
8. Back to drugstore! This next product I LOVE! I have 3 of these, however this shade is definitely my favourite. They are the 'Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers' and this one is the in the shade '102 Nova'. These are great if you love an intense and bold colour on the lip! They are a rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced with a satin smooth shine therefore they are neither a lipstick or a lipgloss. This shade is a hot, baby pink colour, if that makes sense haha? It's not as vibrant as a hot pink, but not as soft as a baby pink! It has a lovely, creamy consistency on the lips which I love and is so highly pigmented that once it's on the lips, there's no going back! Such a girly colour perfect for a night out if you're wanting you're makeup to stay put all night. This product is great for only £5.99!
10. Lastly is a lipgloss from the Tanya Burr collection! I love Youtube and one of my favourite youtubers is of course Miss Tanya Burr and I was so excited when she announced she was releasing her own lips and nail collection! Tanya released a range of colours from deep reds, pinks and nudes! My favourite is again a pink (shock) in the shade 'Picnic In The Park' which is a gorgeous pinky, coraly shade! I was surprised at how pigmented this colour actually was and I will definitely invest in some more! Also an added bonus that it smells of strawberries :) This product is available from Superdrug and online at FeelUnique.com retailing at £6.99.
That's it guys! Hope you enjoyed reading this post. What are you're favourite shades to wear on the lips? Leave me a comment below letting me know :)

Quick And Easy Shimmery, Night Time Eyes - How I Achieved This Look:
On a day to day basis, I tend not to put that much effort into my makeup, especially on my eyes as I feel I'm not going anywhere too fancy therefore I'm not out to impress. However, when I'm going out, on a night out or to a nice meal with my boyfriend or family I like to put in that extra effort and make my makeup a more powerful and give me a great night time look. I always used to do my eye makeup from Youtube tutorials, but now if I see colours I like, I'll play around with them and make looks myself which I prefer doing so much more as I like to experiment with colours specified with my skin tone and just what I like. So, I've decided to show you all an eye makeup look I've been loving recently and have worn almost every time I've went out! This look is so easy and simple to achieve and can be done by anybody! It doesn't have to be this particular colours, it can be any!
This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago when I went to see Boyzone, which can I say was amazing haha! I also have another picture which I will insert below, of the exact same shades used and technique although with different lighting arrangements it doesn't look the same but I'll show you nevertheless, and I can assure you all it is the same products and the same way it's been applied.
Step 1: If I'm applying eyeshadow I prefer to do it before my base and applying face products, this way if I get any fall out from the product I don't have to mess around re-applying foundation. As I have oily skin and oily eyelids I like to prime my eyes with a eye primer. I like to use the Urban Decay Primer Potion or the Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer, they both do the same job which is why I love them equally! Priming the eyes will stop the product from shifting during the day and creasing into the lids and forming fine lines, and we all want our makeup to stay put right?
Step 2: Whenever shadow is being used, it's always a good idea to use a transition shade on the lid first as this will help with blending later. A transition shade can be any neutral shade that you like and prefer on the eyes which generally has no shimmer, it's a matte, and can be used to help blend the shades together to give a more defined and blended and mixed look. The shade I like to use is from the first 'Naked Palette' by Urban Decay. This palette from my point of view, is an essential for all girls makeup kits and if you don't already own it, then I suggest you go out and get it! It's a palette consisting of 12 colours from matte shades, shimmery shades and light shimmery shades which can be used for the inner corners and brow bone highlighters. The transition shade I use is a shade called 'Buck' which is a medium, matte brown shade, similar to Mac Soft Brown, and I just use that to blend through my crease before I apply a different shade.
Step 3: This is where I apply my main base colour onto the whole lid. The colour I've used in this look is 'All That Glitters' from Mac and I've packed that all over my lid using a Mac 217 brush which is just a nice, fluffy blending brush. This shade is a beige, pink with gold, pearl glitter running through it giving that bronzey, pink shade which is easily blendable and shimmery! Considering this is a lighter colour, it is very highly pigmented and lasts all night long. The glitter and shimmer does not fade and is a perfect colour for a Summer night out! When applying this product, or any glitter based product for that matter, I prefer pressing it onto my lid rather than window wiper sweeping motions as this way you're pressing it in instead of just wiping it straight off. This helps prevent fall out too!
Step 4: Next is the darker, blending shade that is used in the outer corner and then blended through the crease to give it that two-toned, blended, smokey effect. The colour I've used in this look is again another Mac shade called 'Twinks' which is a deep plum, purple shade with pearl shimmer. I looove this shade! At first I wasn't too sure the colours would go together but they really do make a great pair and the darker shade doesn't look as dark once applied and blended well. So I apply this in my outer corner, taking it one bit at a time as if you apply too much product then it can go horribly wrong, so take time building up the product guys! Then once I've applied enough, using a clean Mac 217 brush, I'll then blend it up into my crease so it's all blended together. Have I said blend enough in this post haha?
Step 5: Once I have completed my eyelids, I will take a pointed pencil brush or a brush with an angled brush like the Mac 266 brush and take Twinks on the lower lash line until I meet the middle of my eye. Then I will do the same, but use All That Glitters, taking it from the middle up to the inner corner of the eye. I will then take another blending brush and blend that out. After that is done, I will take a lighter shade used to highlight the inner corner of my eye and my brow bone. The original Naked palette has amazing shades to do this with, as does the Naked 3 but I've decided to use 'Shroom' which is a soft, pale beige with shimmer added to give that extra pop and definition. You don't want to use a dark shade to do this as you are aiming to brighten the eyes, not darken them.
Step 6: Now you can decide to use eyeliner and coat the lashes. As you can see in the first picture I used no eyeliner, as even though I apply primer and the shadow acts as a base and primer itself, I find when I use liner it tends to smudge throughout the day and shift, especially in the inner corner and tear duct area. However if when I do, I use the 'Rimmel London Scandaleyes Liner' in the colour 001 Black. I like this eyeliner as it gives me a glossy finish to the eyes and I'll either do a standard line or a cat eye flick. I don't like to line my lash line with eyeliner at all as I just feel it doesn't suit me, however if I do I'll use a brown liner as it is less harsh and more wearable for me. I've used the 'L'Oreal Color Riche LeSmoky Pencil Liner' in the shade 204 Brown Fusion. Lastly, I'll coat my lashes using the 'Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara' as it gives my lashes a literal 'false' lash effect as I feel if you're wearing shadow, especially with eyeliner on top of that, you're eyelashes need to stand out.
Finished! I'll clear up any fall out I may have and that will be my eyes complete. I hope you enjoyed reading this post and I hope it inspired you to be more creative with shadows! I hope it also give you any tips or interested you in testing out the shades I use. Thanks for reading :)

My Top 10, Current Favourite Makeup Products!
As I'm very much interested in all things makeup I thought I would show you all my current favourite products that I tend to use on a day to day basis. I have a range of high end products and products available from any local drugstore like 'Boots' or 'Superdrug' as I love either! I'm just warning you all...This may be a long one so get comfy and prepare to read!
1. First off, is foundation. I tend to only steer towards high end foundations like MAC or Benefit as every time I try a drugstore foundation I can never find one that gives as good of a finish as a more expensive product would. Until... I discovered 'L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable SPF 17 Foundation'. Unlike some products, this definitely does what it says on the tin! It really is super blendable whether I'm using a brush or my fingers and it really melts into the skin to give a flawless finish. I find this foundation in between a matte finish and a dewy finish, personally I prefer matte but if you prefer dewy, it's easy to mix in a moisturiser to give the skin a more sheen look. I love this foundation as it is so light and sheer on the skin, it makes me look like I'm wearing nothing on the skin. Which is what we want! The product comes in a range of colours so there is definitely one to match all skin types. I wear 'C2 Rose Vanilla' which is a creamy shade preferred for paler skin, (as I resemble Casper) but hey, there's nothing wrong with that! Pale is the new dark haha. So long story short, if you're looking for a cheap foundation that does exactly what it says it will do then try out True Match! This product retails at £9.99 from Boots but is available from any drugstore and prices may vary.

This product retails at £9.99 from Boots but is available from any drugstore and prices may vary.
2. Sticking with face products, I've recently discovered what all the fuss is about on BB creams! As you'll all know there are millions of BB creams and CC creams out there which I bet all do great things for the skin, but the one I'm loving is the 'Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy Cream'...What a mouthful! I really love this product and the reason behind that is, it's a liquid to powder foundation. This means it melts into the skin like cream, yet finishes lightweight and smooth like powder. I love this because it instantly feels like I'm wearing nothing on the skin! Also, it contains ingredients to soothe and comfort the skin and help fight free radicals... What girl doesn't want that? You can wear this product on it's own, underneath you're base or even mix it into you're foundation for more coverage. If i'm having a 'good skin day' or I just don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup I'll just wear it on it's own after I've applied my moisturiser and I'm set to go! Or, I'll wear it under my foundation if I need that extra coverage or I'm wanting to apply more makeup than usual. This product will be great for people who have oily skin as it is oil free which is another reason it should be loved! It has a high SPF of 35 which again is great for the skin, especially with the sunny weather were having! This particular BB cream comes in 6 different shades and I wear '03 Light/Medium'. It is available from any Benefit counter and retails at £27.50.
3. Concealer time! This one is easy and it has to be the 'Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer' which is said to conceal flaws, imperfections and blemishes lasting up to 16 hours. Now, there is a constant hype about this product and it has to be said at first thoughts I didn't believe such a cheap product could do the trick and I couldn't bring myself to move away from MAC Pro Longwear...but believe me, it does! When I do have a spot or a blemish, this concealer literally saves my life! I can apply it on a morning and I can guarantee when I come home at night, my blemish will still be concealed and kept hidden! It blends really well into the skin and has a great finish! I use this products in 2 different shades...Firstly I use the colour 'Fair' under my eyes to eliminate the dark circles and bluey under tones, but I also use a lighter shade to brighten my eye area and really make my eyes look awake, whereas, on spots or redness I will use a slightly darker shade that matches my foundation in the colour 'Warm Medium'. So yeah, love love love! It's a great price to at only £4.19.
4. Next up is powders! I use 2 different powders on my face, one to set my makeup and the other to again set my makeup and bring a bit of colour back into my face! For me, powdering my face is essential as throughout the day I tend to get a little oily and shiny therefore I find powdering really works to help decrease that from happening. Once I have applied my base and concealer, I'll then begin to set my makeup with the 'Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder' in the shade Translucent so that it doesn't change the shade of you're base. I purchased this last year when it was Prom season as I was doing my own makeup and wanted it to last all night so as this product had so many great reviews I decided to try it out, and it realllly works! Again, it is extremely lightweight, sheer and silky which is perfect for me and contains light-reflecting ingredients that improves fine lines and you're makeup from creasing. This product is pretty pricey at £29.00 so there's also the 'Rimmel London Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder' again in 001 which is the transparent shade. This does exactly the same by reducing shine and helping to minimise the appearance of pores. This product sees a massive change in price as it is only £3.99, bargain! There both great, but as it is more expensive the Laura Mercier one does the best for me and my skin. After I have set my face, I use the 'MAC Mineralise Skin Finish' in the shade 'Medium' to bring back some colour to my face as even though the previous powders are translucent, they can still give you a white, powdery finish.
5. Next is my favourite and it is bronzer! My current favourite is the 'Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder' in the shade 1 Golden Light which is a light tan shade as I'm not the darkest of skin colours. I love this product so much I've sadly hit pan with it! I know there is a hype about the Nars Laguna Bronzer, which yes I do also love as do I with the Bourjois 'Chocolate' Bronzer but this one I use day in day out whether I want to a strong, defined contour or if I just want to bronze up my cheeks, temples and jawline, it works for both! I like this bronzer as for me, bronzers have to be matte! No shimmer or glitter. It gives me a smooth silky look and provides my face with a sun kissed glow! Something we all want right girls? I use this all year round and absolutely love it! Again, it is a little pricey at £27.00.
6. Blush time! I love applying blush as I feel it gives the skin the perfect balance of yellow tones and pink tones and it really brings the look together! Personally, I love pinky toned blushes like baby pinks or corals as I feel they suit my skin tone best. Sticking with the Benefit theme, my favourite blush right now is an oldie, but a goodie as I recently re-discovered it hiding away and thought I'd bring it back to life! It's the 'Benefit Coralista Blusher'. I love everything about this product, the colour, the consistency and the way it looks on my skin...even the packaging! The shade is a warm, coral pink which is perfect for the summer time! It has added shimmer to give the skin an extra pop and glow and I think it looks great swept over my cheekbones! I feel this blush is long lasting and easily wearable which is priced at £23.50.
7. Writing this blog post has made me realise how much Benefit products I own and love! Great brand that's all I'm saying...Eyebrows next! And it's the 'Benefit Browzings Brow Shaping Kit' that takes 1st prize! I discovered this product a long time ago before the craze of filling in our brows began and I was shopping with my mam, and the shop assistant just had the world's best brows! So, me being the shy and timid person I am, got my mam to ask her how she did her brows and what product she used and here I am today using the exact same one I purchased as soon as she told me. Benefit Browzings is a duo palette consisting of a pigmented wax for shading in the brows and then a matte, natural shaded powder used for setting the wax so you're brows don't shift throughout the day. Personally, I find applying a wax or brow pen based product much more easy than a pencil as I find you can really define you're brows and shape them in you're own specified way, they just get in the brows really well! It also helps if you're brows are shaped as well, I get mine threaded and shaped in an 'arch' type shape which also makes it much more easy to apply! After all these years filling in my brows, my face just looks utterly wrong when I haven't done them and I literally will not leave the house unless there filled in (ridiculous I know, I blame you Benefit). The palette comes in 3 shades to suit each individuals brow colour. As I am dark haired I use the shade 'Medium' and I will safely say until I find a brow palette as good or even better, I will not be changing anytime soon! This product is £24.50.
8. Time to coat those lashes! Unless I'm going out or I'm feeling like I want to make a little more effort, I'll only apply mascara to my eyes and that'll be my eyes done. Therefore, I find it's vital to find a mascara that will make you're lashes long and thick to really give the eyes the 'pop' they need! But, if I am wearing shadow, I'm currently addicted to my good old Naked palette by Urban Decay. I used to have naturally long eyelashes until I was stupid to wear false lashes the majority of the time which now seems to have damaged my lashes. So, for my lashes to look full and thick I use 'L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara'. I'm on to my 3rd tube of this stuff, so it definitely does the trick! Sadly I'm too lazy to curl my lashes before hand, but even without doing that I find this product really boosts the look of my lashes and gives them a thick, strong defined look! I think the 360 degree flexi brush definitely helps haha! I've also had many comments before asking if I'm wearing false lashes, when in fact I've just coated my real ones with this mascara leaving me with a false lash effect! The only downside to this mascara, as seen as though it's so thick, it gets very clumpy and it's easy to clump you're lashes together therefore a little goes a long way definitely applies with this product! A little cheapy at only £8.99!
9. Lips! I have so many favourite lip products that I'd have to do a separate post! However, the much loved and highly popular MAC lipsticks are definitely a winner for me! As are they with practically everybody! I don't really know which colour suits me best, if I like a colour I'll just swatch it on my hand and buy it! It's always a different story when it comes to applying it on my lips, once I've bought it haha! But, saying that I own a lot of pink and nude shades. I recently purchased 'MAC Creme Cup' which is a pale, soft pink colour perfect to wear with a summer dress! This lipstick has a 'Cremesheen' finish meaning it gives a soft and creamy finish to the lipstick with a shine, unlike a matte lipstick. I love this colour as I feel it suits my paler complexion and gives a nice look to the lips! P.s the photo really doesn't give it justice and is slightly off colour.
10. Lastly! This is not an actual makeup product, but a product I use to again set my makeup and keep it in place as I find my makeup tends to shift unless I set it. So I use, 'Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray'. This is a spray which is used all over the face after makeup has been applied in a 'T' movement to cover the T-zone area and then in a 'X' shape in order to cover the rest of the face. I use the product as it does exactly what it say's it's going to do...keep my makeup on for up to 16 hours without it melting, cracking or settling in to any harsh or fine lines. As it uses Temperature Controlled Technology, it lowers the temperature of you're makeup resulting in it lasting for longer in windy or humid weather conditions! Could it get any better? Yes! It leaves my skin looking smooth and my makeup vibrant! This product can come in different sizes therefore different prices, but I have the largest bottle which is £20.00.
Well that's it guys! My current favourite makeup products that I use every day to complete my every day look. I hope you enjoyed reading this post and I hope if you haven't already heard of some of these products, I've given you a clear understanding making you want to go out and try them too :) Let me know in the comments what you think? ALso, follow my blog on Bloglovin! It was a long one, so thanks for reading!

'Just A Small Town Girl'
Ok, so I've had this idea in my head to create a blog for quite a long time now. After discovering the wonder's of Youtube and watching many videos and reading ultimate blogs I have to say it's inspired me massively to get over my fear and create this. My fear you ask? For as long as I can remember I have had this complex about what other people think of me and how they will react to what I do, as many people do I suppose. However, it tends to hold me back from what I'm really interested in diving in to. Well, not this time.So of course, I've decided to write about everything and anything, whether that is beauty such as the favourite products I'm loving or anything fashion/lifestyle related. I also want to write about personal things that affect people my ages today. To me, if I was reading another blog about issues I was facing and realising I wasn't the only person having to deal with them, it would make me feel so much better! So that is why I have decided to do that! :)
Right now, I'm not expecting this blog to be a massive hit. I'm scared if anyone is actually going to be interested and enjoy what I write...Or if people will read it for that matter haha! Let's see if I'm saying that in 20 years time when I'm a Blogger phenomenon (Jokes!)I'm just a regular 17 year old girl, living in a small town in Durham doing what every beauty enthralled teen will be thinking about doing.
Nevertheless, I'm super excited about deciding to pursue my goal! I'm really happy and positive and I hope that is the vibe anyone who reads this will feel. Let's see how it goes!
Thank you for reading, lots of love Phoebe x
