Lyrics: Charlie Brown- On My Way

Before I start I want to apologise for my lack of posts last week. My weeks are getting a bit hectic and I am going over and back to Dublin nearly every weekend.
Anyway enough of my life, todays post is yet again another lyric post.
If you haven't heard the song mentioned in the title click below and enjoy.


Now that you've seen that (or not) heres the post.

"You might work but I work harder, you might fight but I fight smarter, might not be on top of the world but hey, I'm on my way."
Right lets analyse this line. Basically everyone in the world has a competitive side but some people deem it necessesary to put themselves above others. From this line I take it that Charlie is trying to show that others do also put effort and their brains into their work. I alsofeel Charlie is trying, as well, to get the point across that at some point everyone will be on top of the world, it just takes a few obsticles.

"You been down and feel so fed up, when they tell you, you might not get up."
I love this line the most out of the whole song. Like how many people have told you you're not good enough,p or you wont get far in life? Ignore them. This line is my favourite because everyone has those shit days and then one person just makes it worse.

"But nothings changed, still a picture in a frame and you try but you just cant break out."
Going back to the shitty day I was talking about in the above paragraph, some people have those days, day after day and the feel they can't 'Break out' and they are stuck in the same circle constantly.

So basically I do feel this song is very encouraging, because Charlie basically tells you to ignore what people has to say and live your life.
Until Wednesday byeeeeee.

Review: Soap&Glory Archery

Hello Again!
If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen the picture below.
I bought this about 4 weeks ago in boots as I seen +Zoella rave about it on one of her favourites video.
If you want to check the product out click here.
*Soap and Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil in Brownie Points.

Okay, lets talk about the felt tip side.
This distributes the product easily without leaving excess product on your eyebrows. As I have recently put highlights through my hair, it is now lighter and the Brownie Points is slightly too dark. However if the product seems too dark on your eyebrows apply it very lightly.

Now about the crayony-waxy side.
I find that because this is kind of a wax it holds your eyebrows in place for the day.
Again don't go to heavy handed(Thanks Cee +vintageteapotblog ) when applying it as a) it could snap and b)your eyebrows will look drawn on.

All in all, this product is very good and I am a sucker for all Soap&Glory products.
However €13 is a bit pricey if you are on a budget.
Out of 10 I'd give it a 7 as its quite expensive and the felt tip is starting to dry up.

Short post but I will be back here on Monday.

Health: The right food and exercise

Helloooooo
This is officially my second Wednesday post and from here on there will always be a post on Wednesday.
As I sit here and write this, the sun is hitting my back and I have a nice cold glass of water beside me. Hello Summer.
 Not to long ago me and my friends made a pact that this summer we were going to cut back on the sweets and eat more fruit, so todays post will have recipes, tips and motivation (I hope) to get you fit and ready for the school year in September.
*This post will not be a regular thing

Recipes
My mum and I came to an agreement that we would cut down on carbohydrates and focus more on eating protein rich foods. We plan our weekly intake and we stick to it. You could do the same, if you wish.

Breakfast: 
A Bowel of Bran Flakes 
with low fat milk, 
a side of yoghurt
and a glass of water.

Snack:
Protein bar with
a small Fruit Salad.

Lunch:
A Tuna wrap
with salad and greek yoghurt
and as glass of water.

Snack:
Protein bar with
a small Fruit Salad or Yoghurt.

Dinner:
With a high protein intake you can have any meat you want.
Opt for red meat or fish as both are high in protein.
Serve it with a salad or a nice variety of vegetables.


Exercise
This does not need to be taken to extremes. A brisk walk each day for 30-40 minutes is enough, even if you go for a light jog. 
Squats and crunches at are optional, but if you want a nice body quick I'd advise you to get going!
Lastly cycling is also extremely good for exercising the whole body, but don't strain yourself on your first day, gradually build up the amount of miles you go each time.

Yet again thanks for reading this and I will be back for another post on Friday!
