The 'train driver' hat

Image
Okay, am I the only one who's obsessed in looking like a train driver ??? These 'train driver' hats can be found everywhere!! Topshop, or if you're like me, pennys. If you've a round wide face as I have then boy is this the hat for you, the curved nature of the hat helps to deceptively make your face seem slimmer and elongate your face. It also hides them haters of your train driver hat.. I have found it in black for 20 euro in Topshop which is where this hat is from, a pennys version with a metal kind of rim for 4 euro. Pennys now stock a grey and white striped hat which was on my Instagram earlier in the week [seenbygrean1]. They also have a grey and white tartan one. I'm now on the hunt for a nude/brown suede one!! so if anyone finds one please please inform me SeenByGrean         XO

First college experiences..

I, as like many was extremely apprehensive before I started college, the whole not knowing, no plan [everything up in the air] as well as having only a few of my school friends going to the same college as me. The first day came around and of course my social awkwardness came into play. I was ready to stutter my words, roll them into one sentence and start frantically sweating if somebody asked my name. I also tend to laugh if I'm in some awkward situation, anyone else do that?? The amount of societies I signed up to was too much for my bank account. 5 euro for a food society... sure I figured that was the most profitable one as it would involve getting food but that was sadly not the case.... They talked about food but didn't eat any?? Lecture timetables I've come to realise are not for me....... Times all over the shop, too many places to be, my handbag [ yes I'm trying to be stylish ] slowly but surely about to rip with the wait of my laptop. I decided [the onl

Where and why haven't I been posting.... and what is to come

Hey guys, SeenByGrean here, as it's Christmas time I decided id start my blog again as well as my Instagram. I hopefully will be getting a camera for Christmas and then will be filming youtube videos about my life, trips and hauls since I've bought so much this Christmas I've been quiet on my blog recently as I've just started college and well I haven't felt that id get many views on this blog however that isn't going to stop me this time. I will have at least one blog post a week. My blog posts will include general issues as well as chats, gossips and college life experiences. I plan to go on a trip to paris in January where I will video the whole trip I know many people don't read this blog but if anyone wants me to talk about my view on any issues let me know by commenting on my posts Love, SeenByGrean XO

Foundation Reviews

Image
As many of us know, there are so many types of foundations! But if you're like me you're going to want; 1. Cheap 2. Good Quality (no cake face please) 3. Good Name Sadly... it is very hard to find all these qualities in a foundation. So for todays post I am reviewing some low cost foundations, hopefully you find this helpful! Foundation No.1: Nyx Foundation This foundation is my favourite out of the four that I'm reviewing today. It is the third cheapest. The reason why I first bought this foundation was because I needed one for when I got tanned on holidays, the foundation is lightweight and not heavy on the skin. It isn't a full coverage foundation in my opinion but it still gives you a flawless finish which is great for day wear or if you want a minimal makeup look when you're out on holidays. It is a squeeze style bottle that runs out easily when opened. You barely need any of the foundation which is handy economically as you don't need to constantly

My Trip to Magaluf - 'MAGA'

Image
Hey SeenByGrean here, After I finished my exams I went on my '6th year holiday', where else would I pick than the classic 'Magaluf'', or as other people say 'Shaga' luf. I was so worried about my trip before I went as many would be. However; it is nothing like how it's made out to be like! So.... where did I book? I did my research and looked around to see where would be the best place to stay. I had heard of BH Mallorca and decided that was the place that I wanted to go. It was an all inclusive holiday with free food all day and free drinks from 9-8 at night. This meant you didn't need to spend extra money on food during the trip. This worked out cheaper In the long run. BH Mallorca. While staying here I got 2 concerts included in what I payed originally! Other people outside had to pay 50 euro! It also has a waterpark in the facility! PIRATES This may sound childish and lame, however; it is an acrobatic show with all you can drink sangr

Love Island Craze

Image
Hey guys SeenByGrean here! I'm sure you're all, well most of you have been watching Love Island or even heard of it. If not, well you're possibly living under a rock.... It has been the biggest craze over social media than any other show, but how come?? It's believed that smart people get excitement from watching this reality TV show due to the similar situations that we're in, the drama and humour. The main question is what couple is going to win the show??? Kem and Amber seem to have the strongest couple but I don't think they can win with Olivia and Chris causing drama but portraying the stronger relationship. Gabby and marsel seem to be on the rocky side... What do you think?

Recipe of the Week

Image
                                            Hey Guys SeenByGrean here, as usual I always post a recipe of the week, this week is my favourite recipe of all time, its great for breakfast and deserts! Cinnamon Buns! This recipe is great,  the water must be luke warm when adding to the yeast remember! Once the yeast has reacted then add the flour and the other liquids. Combine to form a dough and leave for around an hour until risen. Then combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to make a paste to spread on the dough. Roll it together and cut slices. put it in the oven for around 20 minutes in 180 degrees. Hope you enjoy!

Exam Stress = Less Success

Image
Hey Guys, SeenByGrean here, Its been a while since I last did a blog post and you're probably wondering why..... I just finished my Leaving Certificate which is the final exam in secondary school before college. I, myself get quite stressed usually with exams however this year wasn't so bad. As a result I decided to share with you some tips about studying in general as well as tips for the leaving certificate. My blog from now on will consist of reviews as well as personal blog posts such as these. I hope you enjoy! If anyone wants any advice or help please leave a message below! How to study? It's easy for me to sit here and talk to you about how to study without doing it. Everyone has different methods and it is different for each person. Personally I have found that writing in some way helps to get it into your head! Sometimes I even scribble without looking at what I'm writing just to use the action of writing to learn! it looks weird but trust me it works.
