Hey Everyone (:
So my blogmas failed didn't it i mean who didn't see that coming ! my only excuse for that is i work in retail and overtime is rife at Christmas and i need the money for driving lessons (i'd advise you all to stay off the roads as i cant drive in a straight line yet).
i hope you all had a wonderful Christmas or just a wonderful day if you dont celebrate it. If your waiting for my what i got for Christmas post then you'll be disappointed as i'm not doing one.
I'll have my 2019 Rewind/look back at 2019 (not quite sure what to call it yet) up on Saturday and one more post before 2020
Thank you for your continued support over the years it's not gone noticed
See you on Saturday

June Music Faves
No your eyes are not deceiving you they are back (: did you miss them ? , I'm hoping you did as these are one of my fave post's to do (:
If your a new reader then hello (: i hope you like what you read and stick around (: The monthly music faves is my take on Monthly beauty faves as i tend to stick to the same beauty things all year round where as my music isnt the same from month to month. Iv also started creating monthly music playlists on Spotify this one is june's.
Katy Perry - Never Really Over
Katy is BACK !!! This song is so good !! it has been on repeat none stop and not going to lie i have been known to belt this out while in my room. ~Her vocals are amazing on this i cannot recommend it enough
All Time Low - Lost In Stereo
This is the song that got me in to ATL we were sat in my not my last ex the ex before's bedroom and he was playing this album and i fell in love with song and no it doesn't remind me of him which is amazing ! if im in any kind off mood i can just put this on and im instantly feeling better.
Two Year Break- DALTITE
I have to be honest i had never heard of these before until the other day and i went down a rabbit hole of facebook videos you know the one you click on the video you want to watch then just watch the others that come on one after another and this came on and it was about 2 in the morning and i found myself replaying this one song iv not listened to any of their other stuff yet but im hoping its as good as this song.
B.o.B - Airplanes
This is such a oldie but a goodie and tbh i had completely forgotten about this until i was on hold to carphone warehouse and this was playing and it made me fall in love with it over again took me right back to 2010 which was a good year (:
Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar
I have no shame that this song makes me dance around my bedroom with this on full blast (im sure my neighbours love me lol)
Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait
I didn't think Someone you loved could be topped as that was beautiful but this came on the radio while i was washing up the other day i only heard a little bit off it but i had to find out who sung it i should of known who it was by the voice but i had a blonde moment but this song is just as beautiful.
Naomi Scott - Speechless

Naomi Scott - Speechless
I have to be honest i wasn't fused about the remake to Aladdin as i feel like Jack Black should off been the genie i mean no one can EVER replace Robin Williams but i feel like JB would of been a better fit anyway getting off point lol , I love Naomi Scott's voice i have done since Lemonade Mouth and once i heard this song which is so beautiful it just made me want to see the film.
Scouting For Girls - Famous
I feel like i should ring carphone warehouse more often as its bringing back some good tunes i have been a fan of Scouting for girls for years i saw them on tour back in 2010 and loved every min of it but as with bands you like sometimes you dont listen to them for a while but it doesn't mean you dont love them any less it means when you do go back to them you fall in love with them all over again and thats whats happened here (:
Tinie Tempah - Written in the stars
Again thanks to Carphone warehouse for this little gem i am now obsessed with this song it just takes me back to 2010 hanging around with mates going to house parties (are they still a thing ?) oh the memories (:
5 Seconds of Summer - Easier
Got to be honest i went off 5 Seconds of summer a few years ago and didn't know they were still around until the who do you love song by the chainsmokers (which i love) so i went down a rabbit hole of 5sos videos and found this one and boy have they grown up since iv stopped listening to them lol !
Avicii - Heaven
No words needed such a beautiful song <3
Taylor Swift - You need to calm down
Taylor and Katy have ended their beef and Taylor has released a amazing song and video Hannah Hart Ryan Renyolds Ellen degeneress and Ru Paul just to name a few who are in it need i say more !

Rosacea awareness
So this was meant to go up in april but as per usual it didn't go up when planned but its a post a still want people to read so im putting it up now.
I didn't know this was a thing until i stumbled across Lex's Instagram page it really did open my eyes to just how many people have rosacea including myself as until a few years ago i didn't know why my face was constantly red and worse when i have a flare up .
This maybe the post im scared to post and it sounds so silly but i hate my face without a foundation on and showing pictures of my basically naked face scares me a little as very few have seen it.

This maybe the post im scared to post and it sounds so silly but i hate my face without a foundation on and showing pictures of my basically naked face scares me a little as very few have seen it.
I always know when im getting a flare up as my skin gets very dry and itchy.
What is Rosacea ?
It's a skin condition that creates irregular facial flushing, which can lead to over time persistent facial redness , visible blood vessels , paubles and pustles and thicken of the skin. You can also get irritated and dry eyes.
What causes Rosacea ?
The exact cause is unknown but it is believed to be more common with people who have pink toned skin or fair skin. It is more common in family's although its not clear which genes if any how they are passed on but my mum dad and brother are fine and have 'normal skin'
what does my Rosacea look like ?
I have a red patch on my forehead and chin and a butterfly affect across my nose and cheeks. (you'll get what i mean when you see the pictures at the bottom of this post.
How did i find out i had Rosacea ?
When i was about 20 ish i went to the drs as i was fed up with how red my skin was no matter what i tried the redness never went away and it was making me depressed it doesn't help that i was/still am slightly over weight and when my face went red i would think that everyone who looked at me would think i was really unfit when in reality im not the fittest but could run away if someone was chasing me. Getting off track but would it be a becki blog post if i didnt lol. After talking to my dr he told me i had Rosacea he gave me a prescription for Rozex cream and gave me links to pages i might find helpful. There is no test for it your dr will look at your skin and decide there and then if you do or dont.
Skincare for Rosacea
Im going to be honest i still dont have this down as i can have a great skincare for months then something will irritate my face and i will have to switch stuff out but at the moment i am using the simply pure range and the naturally radiant range from superdrug and they dont irritate me. I dont use anything specifically for Rosacea as i used the two tubes of Rozex he gave me and they didn't seem to do anything.
Covering Redness with makeup
Green concealer is my best friend when doing a full face of makeup think Elphaba from wicked my favorite at the moment is Revolution Conceal & Correct Green it blends out flawlessly and doesn't leave a grey cast on your face like many others i have tried.
Full coverage foundation - i have tried so many foundations and my favorites at the moment are the seventeen stay foundation unfortunately it has been discounted but i bought a stock of them from boots months ago and the other one i really like is the Revlon Color Stay Foundation
I also use a beauty blender as i find it doesn't drag the skin like a brush does.
I will say with these photos im not smiling because i genuinely dont like my face naked so all the photos look like i have resting bitch face lol.

Honesty Time
Hey everyone
I always say honesty is the best policy but lately Iv been lying to you all and for that I’m really sorry.
I’m not doing to well with my mental health I’m snappy at everyone I just want to be left alone (which isn’t easy when you still live at home) I know I’m not depressed (I know the signs for that as Iv been depressed before) maybe it’s my anxiety but I don’t know.
I think what’s affecting me more is if you read my reasons why men suck post then you’d know about this but let’s call him Instagram guy is off for Easter to meet his gf parents I only know this because he told me and it shouldn’t bother me I know it shouldn’t but I think the reason why it has so much is because he kept us secret from his mates his family everyone where as I told people about me and him and I suppose in a way lead me on or maybe it was me maybe I friendzoned him ? As I have a habit of doing that whenever anyone gets close to me which is why I’m still single 🤦🏼♀️ I know your all shouting at your screens why am I still talking to him because I love talking to him he’s great when I’m a big anxiety mess but Iv left him on read today and Iv never done that Iv also turned my show when I’m active on messenger so I’m not tempted to message him not that he will care that Iv left him on read or that I havn’t check led in for a few days (I’m hoping to not message him this whole weekend let’s see how long that lasts) Also side note when I asked him if they were bf n gf he went yeah we are haha why haha why not a smiley face am I the only one who finds that weird probably 😂
It also doesn’t help that I’m basically losing my best friend it always seems to be me contacting her unless she needs something from me I can’t always be the one checking in when I don’t get anything back.
Maybe it is my anxiety making all this in to a big thing or maybe I’m overthinking but I do know something isn’t quite right with my mental health and I think all this has contributed to it just typing it out now feels better.
So thank you for listening (well reading lol)

Reasons Why Men Suck
I'm not saying its all guys , most of you are probably very nice , it just seems to be i meet the shit guys or the guys who start out lovely then show their true colours (these are the worst).
If you are a guy and your reading this I'm pretty sure you could write a post on why women suck and to be fair some women do.
1/. They only want sex !!
I'm not a prude i love sex as much as the next person but i am sick and tired of talking to guys and all they want to do is get in to my pants !!. I think they really want to get to know me and he likes me as we are meeting up and talking everyday but he's only doing that as he thinks I'm going to let him fuck me. I'm not naive i knew if i had given in and said yes that would off been it he would of had his fun and i would of been left hurt and angry - Apparently not just my experience from research.
2/. They can become nasty and hurtful
Following on from they just want sex if you do turn them down regardless of reason not all men may i just add just immature ones who will start saying hurtful stuff
E.G - I was only doing it for a bet
You wont get anyone better then me (newsflash men we do)
No-one will fuck you you fat beach whale and so on. Now these do not affect me in fact they make me laugh but imagine if you said it to a girl and she believed all those things or shes in a bad state she could do something maybe something irreversible just think next time guys.
3/.They are liars
They say things you want to hear , They tell you that they are single or just not ready to date yet.
My personal Fave (this happened to me today)
You think they are still single and in to you as your working out when you can next see him due to working shifts and talking to him everyday only to find out via instagram that hes in a relationship and only tells you when you confront him !! I'm almost positive he wouldn't of told me if i hadn't of confronted him.
I'm almost 99.9% sure the guy iv just told you about ^^ doesn't know i have a blog i have mentioned no names as I'm not nasty and if you are reading this and you know the last one is about you i promise I'm not being nasty and its not a swipe at you the rest of the post isn't about you it's just the Instagram bit. I will say i thank the guy for bringing me out of my comfort zone and making me try new things and for making me less anxious when i met up with you you have comfort zen about you. If im being totally honest you did inspire this post when i found out but that's it.
Please tell me that some decent guys exist ??

Welcome 2019 - My 2019 Goals
Better late then ever with this post am i right lol !!
Iv put together a list of Goals id love to achieve by the end of 2019 hopefully my 2019 roundup post I'll off completed some of these and not failed.
1. Get healthier
This goes without saying if you saw my why i don't upload to youtube anymore then you will know I'm not comfortable with the way i look so next week iv booked in to start clubbersize (I'm hoping I'll like it as its to cold for Aqua Fusion at the moment) I'm not looking to lose a load of weight maybe two dress sizes fingers crossed.
2. Start saying no
I say yes to a lot of things which is good but some of them make me feel really anxious and i only say yes to not hurt anyone's feelings but this year i need to put myself first and if it means someones upset with me then I'm sorry but its better then me being a anxious mess all day.
3. Grow my blog
I have no excuse not to do this. I have planned blog content until may (:
4. Change my hair
I think I'm getting tired of being blonde it always goes wrong whenever i dye it i ended up bleaching it the other month and it went yellow its only just started to look like a normal blonde and my roots need doing again *insert face palm emoji here*
5. find a singing group
I used to belong to one and i loved it. Music is a big part of my life and i love singing.
6. Actually use my iPod
My mum bought me a new one a couple of Christmas's ago once she saw how i had to charge my ipod touch (i had to dangle it over a counter for it to actually charge) and iv hardly used it. i need to update the songs and charge it. its in my bag but I'm using spotify at the moment (the free version I'm not paying £9.99 when i have a iPod lol)
7. Go to more concerts this year
Technically iv already failed this one as no-one will come with me to see Olly Murs or Westlife but i am going to see Rocky Horror in Feb (:
8. Tattoo ?
Iv been saying for years i want a tattoo. I actually want two one that is personal to me and the New York Sky Line one on my wrist one on my arm. The reason i haven't yet is I'm very afraid of needles.
9. Pass my drivers test
This really should of been number one but to be honest these are not in order I'm done messing around saying oh this year il book and pass its a matter of i need to. I finish work at 11pm most days and its becoming annoying having to get the tram and then wait for my connecting bus at 11:20pm plus its cold at the moment it takes me a good 45 Min's to get home but if i drove it would only take me 15 Min's its a no brainer really.
10. Save money
This is one i actually nailed last year i opened another bank account up just for savings and im working my way to a deposit for a house and furniture.
Iv put together a list of Goals id love to achieve by the end of 2019 hopefully my 2019 roundup post I'll off completed some of these and not failed.
