ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

So Yesterday I did the Ice Bucket Challenge. This is something which, much like the no make up selfie, I thought was just something for people to publicise themselves doing something silly. However after seeing how much money it has raised for charity, I decided that I should do it too. Despite it being extremely horrible and cold, it is something that is raising awareness for a disease so I am glad the Ice Bucket Challenge has become a thing! I got my Mum to record this and in true Mum style, she did not stop recording till I asked her! Oh Well.

Umberto Giannini - Silky Curls Intensive Mask Review

A couple of months ago I was looking to buy a deep conditioning treatment for my hair that tackled frizziness. When I walked to the hair products part of boots I was met with many different brands with varying prices. I almost bought a Charles Worthington one for much more money. I paid £5 for this deep conditioner. What drew me to it, at first, was its packaging. It is in a bright pink container so you can't miss it! I personally think that the smell of this product does have a medical scent to it. It reminds me of a doctors surgery. However that is the only thing that I can fault this product on. I am quite sceptical on anti-frizz products because 9 times out of 10 they do not work. They just leave your hair weighed down and are a waste of money. However I will be repurchasing this product when it runs out. I try and use this on my hair once a week, however I quite often forget so I probably use this on my hair once every 2-3 weeks or if I have a special occasion. You was...

The (not so) Secret River

The past couple of weeks I have been on holiday in the South of France with my boyfriend and my boyfriends brother. We have been staying with some of his distant family. We would all go and stay in a strangers house for two weeks if it was in the south of France... Right? We were cat sitting for them. Even though the cat hated us and it was only on the final night that he actually let us stroke him. It was also the first time he had seen him eat since we had got there as well. Which was rather worrying. However he seemed to be okay, which was good. If theres anything worse then staying in a distant relatives house, it would defiantly be accidentally killing their cat. One day Matthew (my boyfriend) and I went about a quarter of a mile away from the village that we were staying in and tried to find a river. We had been told that there was a river down there, but at first it just looked like a dried up river bed. But upon further inspection we found...

Hello!

Hello, my name Is Abbey Booth and this is my blog for my adventures. I am 19 years old and I am a student at Sunderland University studding Broadcast Media Production (TV and Radio to you and me.) For the next two weeks I am back in my hometown in Teesside, which is south of Newcastle and north of Yorkshire in the North East of England, because no-one knows where it is! This is what I look like. This was me on my birthday way back in May. Before my boyfriend and I went to a Chinese food buffet and then a walk to the beach where we discovered what monkeys blood is (red sauce?! not ketchup, the sweet one you have on ice cream, but it did lead to a very confusing few minutes before we realised what we were about to eat...) Before we went back and watched some Game Of Thrones while I opened my present. I am one of those people who go on and on about their birthday for ages before it actually happens. I feel sorry for the people who I was coo...
