PARAMORE! 2.9.13

 Wow, wow. Just wow! I went to see Pararmore in the O2 Arena, Dublin on Monday and oh my God, it was brilliant! I mentioned that I was loving their new album in my May Favourites which you can read here, so I was super excited to see them live, again. I've seen Paramore live 4 times now and they just get better every single time.
 Paramore shows always have an electric atmosphere at them because they're such an energetic band and I think most bands feed off the crowd's energy when they play so the electricity bounces off everyone and just gets everyone moving. The thing I love most about Paramore is Hayley's voice, and I know how important the instruments are to a band and how it takes a group of people to form a band but Hayley's voice is just so strong and there's just something about it, she can use her voice really lightly in some songs that could bring you to tears but also use it very heavily which would have the completely opposite affect. And the fact that she can jump around a stage for nearly 2 hours and still have the breathe in her to sing with such force is rather impressive! Of course the other band members, Jeremy and Taylor, are very important as well. As a team they just work so well together to produce this amazing music that they can perform to perfection, without a doubt.

May Favourites 2013

 My Lord, I haven't written a blog post in over a month and I'm very sorry for that, not that anyone really cares but ah well. It is now the month of June meaning May is over, duh!  My March Favourites post seemed to go down well so I've decided to do another one. Just like my March Favourites, this will be everything I've been loving thought May including music, movies, ect.
 So the first product that I loved throughout May is the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation. When I first started using this foundation I didn't really like it but now I just love how it makes my skin look and how it feels on my skin. It has quite a good coverage and it has a matte finished, which I like but it does have it's down sides. It clings to dry skin and if your skin is very oily it will come off after a while. It also smells a bit weird but you can only smell it when you first put it on so that's not too bad. Another thing I love about this foundation is that it had SPF 10 in it which is very handy because it is now summer and the sun has actually been out, even though it's Ireland and I hate using sun cream so that's a bonus.
 Another product I've been loving is a hair product, it's the Pantene Pro V Mousse. I have quite long hair and it's not incredibly thick but there is a lot of it so the weight of all the hair drags so I never had volume in my hair until I started using this mousse. I put it in my hair after I've washed my hair and it's still damp. It doesn't put loads of volume in my hair but it definitely makes a difference, if I don't use it my hair is just limp and lifeless so I've really been loving this product.
 The next thing is something that I got for Christmas that I just hadn't used yet. It's Lush Shower Gel in Ponche, but I'm pretty sure it's limited edition and you can only get it around Christmas time which sucks. It contains orange juice and a shot of tequila, and it smells absolutally amazing and the smells stays, so even after a while you can still smell it! I got a small bottle, but it lasts a surprisingly long time which is always good. So if you happen to be in a Lush shop near Christmas I highly recommend you pick up a bottle and just smell it!
 This next thing I've been loving is a curling iron. It's the Remington Pro Big Curl Tong, which is just a big, wide barrel curling iron. It heats up quite fast and it has a clasp to close the hair under which I find really handy. It does take a few tries to get the hang of using it if you're not used to using curling irons, which I'm not and I have burnt my neck with it because I'm so skilled... It just gives my hair a nice, bouncy wave and it gives my hair volume which I just love.
 Music I've been loving is the new Paramore album. I love Paramore and I have for years, and I'm going to see them when they come to Dublin in September and I'm really looking forward to it. Their new album is just such a feel good album, the songs are all so catchy. It's just a really good album that I will be listening to all through summer.
 A movie I've been loving is "That's My Boy" which was released last year but I only watched it recently. Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg star in this movie and it's just such a funny movie and it's on Sky Demand at the moment, so I recommend you check it out.
 So there is all the things I've been loving throughout the month of May, and I hope you've, maybe, found some things that you will enjoy just as much as I have. If you have any products that you think I should try out, you can always leave suggestions and recommendations in the comment to the blog posts, and if you have any questions about any products or about anything, you can leave them in the comments and I'd be more then happy to answer them. As always, thanks to all the support from everyone and I will not leave it a month until my next blog post. And good luck to anyone doing exams, you'll do great! Thanks for reading :)

Final Night of Sin!

 Bonjour! Today I finally got time to sit and watch my Final Night of Sin DVD which, for those who don't know, is a live DVD of You Me at Six performing to a sold out Wembley Arena, no big deal! In this post I'm going to review the DVD and it is a very biased opinion because YMAS are my favourite band off all time, ever!
 Before I get into the review I just want to try to explain how much this band means to me. I first fell in love with You Me at Six in the Summer of 2009, their song "Jealous Minds Think Alike" came on Scuzz and it was love at first sight. I listened to them over and over again and when I went into 1st Year whenever I had to say something about myself I'd say "I love You Me at Six". I've seen them live 4 times, the first time was when they supported Paramore in December 2009. I also saw them on the 28th of March 2010 which is the day I met them because I won a meet and greet and when I met them I cried, that's how sad I am but I don't even care. I, then, saw them in December 2010 and again in April 2012. I listen to them every day and I'm still not bored of their songs. It's hard to explain how a band can mean so much to someone unless that person feels the same way towards a band or singer or whoever. I do love people and all but with a band it's so different. If you fight with your friends or family, they're not there to help you but music is something that's always there, no matter what. When YMAS announced that Wembley Arena was sold out I was so proud of them, which sounds stupid but I was! They deserve everything they've achieved and I'm not just saying this because I love them, they've worked so hard to get where they are today. I'm not saying that makes them better then people who maybe got lucky with success, like I'm quite fond of One Direction and I'm sure they'd sell out Wembley Arena but they've practically been handed everything they have which is why this is such a big deal for YMAS and their fans. I don't know what to say, I just love them. They mean everything to me and I don't know where I'd be without them.
 Now onto the review. I think YMAS performed amazingly at Wembley. Like I've said, I've seen them 4 times so I have a good idea of how amazing they were live but wow, they were did absolutally brilliantly! I have never heard Josh's voice sound so good, he sung every note perfectly. All the instruments sounded amazing! They all have so much energy. Dan kept everything perfect on the drums, Max was doing all his little spins and head bangs, Matt was jumping around with so much energy and Chris was amazing with his fabulous hair swishing everywhere. I think all the production and lights and everything just made it! I've seen them play with flashing lights and air cannons but this was so much better and I wasn't even there. I love how they played songs from every album and how they played the slower songs that they might not usually play live like "When We Were Younger". The crowd sang everything so loudly, it sounded great especially "Underdog", I've never heard it so loud but then again I've never heard it from a sold out Wembley Arena. I'm so glad they released the show on DVD for the people, like me, who sadly didn't get to go and I'm just so proud of them.
 For those who aren't YMAS fans, I seriously recommend you go and listen to some of their songs, they have so many different styled songs but they're all amazing, there's probably one that you will like. I hope you enjoyed this post, for anyone interested you can pre-order the Final Night of Sin DVD here: http://youmeatsix.co.uk/thefinalnightofsin/home.php and thanks for reading :)
