The Wonderful Country Of Poland!

The joys of T.Y is the projects that must be done. One of these projects was on a European Country of your choice. The country I choose was Poland as I felt it would be an interesting country to study.

T.Y So Far-And More To Come!

 I have now been in T.Y for just over 5 months now. I can honestly say it is quite an experience but sometimes I wish we did more.
 I know that expense is a major downfall when it comes to T.Y. As a result, we don't go on as much outings as I had hoped. But hey, we sure do do some exciting things!
 One of these trips was Carlingford. All I can say is friendships there have been made for life. The Fashion Show was also a major event. Being Cara Delevingne for a day was quite an experience.
 Work experience is also quite taunting! The world of work is scary but it is something I can not WAIT to do. I am currently trying to look for my third work experience which is very stressful. TIP: Get your work experiences organised early.
 As our Christmas treat we were brought to Elf The Musical in the Bord Gais Theatre. This was an amazing show and got us all in the Christmas spirit.
 We are going to Mullingar tomorrow to perform our class play. It is another event to add to our collection and hopefully we get on well. T.Y is a great experience and I would recommend it to all!

Becoming The Bell Of The Ball!

 As I begin my preparations for my night out, I have a lot to do. My outfit and hair sorted down to a T, giving Victoria Beckham a run for her money! There is just one slight thing that is causing a bit of stress.....make-up!

 I am usually quite good at my make-up skills but a little bit of help is always useful. There is just one place where us 21st century teenagers go (and something we couldn't live without) and that is the internet.

 As I type in "Naked 2 Smokey Eyes" into YouTube, a huge amount of videos appear. The only hard part is to choose which one you prefer!

 YouTube is a hugely helpful resource which can help you with almost everything. Who knew THAT just one single website could help you with both how to do your make-up AND listen to your favourite songs. That's the glory of technology I suppose!

 This is one of my favourite videos, with easy-to-follow steps. If you want to be the "bell of the ball", I'd recommend this to all!

Shop 'Til You Drop!

As I finished watching the film "Confessions Of A Shopaholic", one thing and one thing only came into my mind....I WANT TO LIVE IN NEW YORK!
 The idea of the city that never sleeps, sends thrills to my body. To be constantly thrown into the world of lights, celebrities and shops...what a world it would be.
 To wake up with a purse full of money and shop from dusk til dawn, I would surely be in my element. Of course I would give a wave to the Statue Of  Liberty(wearing my brand new clothes of course), and have a picnic in Central Park. I cant forget about showing my true colours and attending a Baseball game (even if the rules to me are like straightening curly hair, the two just wont click), I would enjoy myself.
 Maybe the idea of actually living in New York and being on the go 24_7, wouldn't have the same reaction to my sleeping patterns as I wish. A holiday would do me just as well and would also save me a LOT of money.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

 The year has come to a close again which means that Christmas is sadly over. No more "waiting for Santa", turning on the tree lights or wrapping presents anymore. However, statistics have proven that Christmas is the busiest time for recycled goods....but how can that be?

 As we open our presents on Christmas morning (some earlier than others), we remove all the packaging from our gifts. This packaging has to go somewhere and so to the green bin it goes! As a result there tends to be an overflow in the last collection of the year.

 I come from a family with two brothers,who tend to be quiet lazy. When the cardboard milk cartons are empty, they like to leave it in the fridge shelf. Therefore, I usually end up going out to the bin in either hail, rain or snow to put the cardboard in the recycling bin. I feel that it costs nothing to recycle so why not do it. It benefits us all even if it's just a toilet roll!
