I only began listening to All Time Low around a year ago, but these boys have been around since 2003!
So How Did All Time Low Get Together?

If you (stranded) on a lost Island and can bring 4 items with you, what would it be? Food, my laptop(fully charged), Wifi and a spare laptop battery(incase the other one dies).
its no surprise that social networks and the internet has taken over everything that is amazing in life. With all teenagers obsessing over twitter or how many likes your instagram post got(myself included), its time we sit back and realise there is more to life than the latest celeb scandal.
lets get started!
Books:
Call me a nerd or whatever, but getting wrapped up in a book is so easy and its also so relaxing. Switch off your phones, laptops, tablets etc. grab a cuppa and loose yourself in a plot. Just relax and forget about the world for an hour or two.
Music:
Although this uses technology(unless you make a mixtape), music is probably the best escape from stress and anger. I know when I come home from school, listening to a few of my favourite songs definitely relaxs me before I begin my homework. So, turn up the music and dance like an idiot for a while. Music lets you express yourself and your emotions.
Nature:
Take some time away from your laptop for a while, the new episode of Pretty Little Liars can wait until it is raining. If it's a dry day, go out for a walk and take in some fresh air. Plus nature gives some amazing photos.
Friends and Family:
Last but not least is friends and family. My friends and family are definitely the number one amazing thing in my life right now. They can cheer you up and if you have friends like mine there will never be a dull moment when you's meet up.
What is the most amazing thing in your life? Let me know below.
Andrea Russett, a youtuber from Indiana, has the most incredible eye makeup on the internet(in my opinion)!
Since I started watching Andrea on youtube(link) I have adored her eye makeup and after messing around with some makeup, I thought I would do a tutorial for you guys.
I just want to mention that this is just inspired its not actually how Andrea does her makeup and as she hasnt done a tutorial we don't know how she goes about doing her eyes.
Lets get started!
Step 1:
I prime my eyes using the Maybelline Baby Skin. Honesty, I feel it works better than an Eye Primer.
Step 2:
Using the two lightest colours in my Lovable Luxuries palette(from Primark) I apply them as my base colour going up as far as my crease using the first brush in the picture above. A base colour preps your eyes and makes darker colours apply easier.
Step 3:
Using the angled brush at the far end start outlining the shape of the black eyeshadow. I treat this part as if I was doing a flick as you can see above.
Step 4:
Using the angled brush again I go from the line just made and work my way half way into the crease.
Step 5:
Using the same black and the two pink brushes in the middle fill in the space that was left on the eye previous.
Step 6:
As you can see in the picture in step 5, the black is quite harsh. So I take my Real Techniques pointed foundation brush to blend it. At this point your eye should look like the above picture.
Step 7:
Add a black pencil eyeliner to your water line and a very thin liquid eyeliner line on your top lash line.
Step 8:
Add a good few coats of mascara to get Andreas long lashes. I use one coat of each mascara pictured above and the Clinique mascara is used on my lower lashes.
Finished:
Add some lipgloss and fix your eyebrows and you've got the Andrea Russett inspired Eye Makeup. This is perfect for Day or Night.
I know I am late for this weeks post but I want to do this and not leave it like I normally do.
So I have decided that I would finally review the 5 Seconds Of Summer Album and give you guys my thoughts and my very honest, critical opinion. This is a review on the UK/Irish album. No deluxe version.
So lets GO!
She Looks So Perfect. So this was the first track to be taken off of the album and released as a 5SOS single. Although the boys have had singles from when the recorded by themselves before this was the one that was going to get their name known across the world. In my opinion it was the best choice! She Looks So Perfect shows off the boys vocal talent, Michaels and Lukes guitar skills, Calums bass and Ashtons drumming. It also shows off their punk side, like come on, they're singing about underwear!
Writers: Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, Jake Sinclair.
Don't Stop
Don't stop is the second track and the second single off the album. This song has had a critical reception with some people saying the beginning sounds like a Blink 182 song, not my opinion though. The song is catchy and when it came out it was stuck in my head on the way to school. Again, this song is Pop/Punk or Pop/Rock, which is what these boys is about.
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Steve Robson, busbee.
Good Girls
This song is definitely a lot slower than the previous two songs but its not a ballad. However this song is much more Punk than the other two, which is why I like it. I think Michael taking the lead in the first verse just makes the song more punk. This song gives a different side to the boys as I feel its more Punk than Pop.
Writers:Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard, Roy Stride, Josh Wilkinson
Kiss Me
This song was wrote with Alex Gaskarth who is a member of the Punk/Rock band All Time Low. This song is probably one of my favourite songs off of the album because it just reminds me of some of the old All Time Low songs with 5SOS. Can you get any better?
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, John Feldmann, Alex Gaskarth.
*No track by track for 18.
18
Eighteen is basically a track for the girl thats a little bit older than them which they can't get. Every time I listen to this song it brings me back to the One Direction concert and seeing 5SOS live. I like the rhythm and tone of this song and its just so Punk and I love it.
Writers: Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Richard Stannard, Seton Daunt, Ash Howes, Roy Stride
Everything I Didn't Say
The first ballad on the album. This song definitely has a lot of meaning to it, as the boys explain above. Although I am in love with the lyrics of this song, I wouldn't consider it my favourite song off of the album but it definitely shows a softer, lovable side to the boys.
Writers: Ashton Irwin ,Calum Hood, John Feldmann, Nicholas "RAS" Furlong
*No track by track for Beside You
Beside You
This was one of the first songs I found of the 5SOS boys over 2 years ago. I've always listened to it and I still do. I love this because it was on of the songs 5SOS released themselves on their Unplugged EP and it just makes me realise how far they have really come.
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Christian Lo Russo, Joel Chapman
End Up Here
And were back into the fast, up beat, punk songs! I love having this song up full blast in the car or in my room because its perfect. Again, they wrote this song with Alex Gaskarth and I love this song so much because its just so easy to rock out to.
Writers: Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, John Feldmann, Alex Gaskarth
Long Way Home
I can rave about my all time favourite song of the whole album. I do enjoy listening to every song but this song is beyond perfect. The lyrics, the voices, the music, the whole song is just perfection. Again, wrote with Alex and John Feldmann.
My favourite part is the lyrics:
"Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs darling
Green Day's on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we're turning up the headlights darling
We're just taking it slow"
I just love Calums voice during this part and its just perfect!
I think I said perfect way too much but it is!
Writers: Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, John Feldmann, Alex Gaskarth
Heartbreak Girl
Again this is another oldie from 5SOS that came out back in February 2013. Not much to say about this song apart from the fact that its a 5SOS original, I love it and its the song that I sing in the shower all the time!
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Steve Robson, Lindy Robbins
English Love Affair
I love this song because again, Michaels voice makes the song so punk. This song is so catchy and punk/rock.
Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard, Roy Stride, Josh Wilkinson
For the whole album I'd give it and 8/10 because I don't feel its as Punk as the boys can be but I did enjoy listening to it and I am still listening to it.
