Memowees

Guten tag. We just wanted to share with all of you our top 3 favourite memories together in no particular order😊 because (as you may already know) we are bffs.

Ps - I know how to spell memories it was just for effect 😊.

1. The boy on the coach

S has touched on this before so I’ll go into some detail. Before we start I’ll just inform you that I’m going to call the boy in question “Madhead” because basically he’s a madhead as you’ll find out.

One day on the way home from school (about 2 years ago) S and I saw Madhead crying by himself facing the window on the coach. We were like what’s happened? Is he alright? Ooh no. Because obviously we were friends with him. Madhead was sat opposite us across the aisle so we were debating whether to ask if he was alright, finally we decided on yes. But who was going to ask? I said that S should do it as she was sat on the outside (closest to Madhead) and they were closer friend than I was with him. She sat by him and asked him if he was alright and he basically told her to get lost. She even asked again if he was sure he didn’t want to talk about it but he said something like “you may as well go back to your seat because I’m not going to tell you.”

After this Madhead completely stopped speaking to us and we were so confused. For me this was the first time he’d stopped talking to me but for S this had happened 3 times before. But as we weren’t in the wrong we weren’t taking it so one day we started ranting aloud while he was there saying: I’d he dumb? It doesn’t even make sense. Stuff like that.

Anyhoo fast forwarding about 5 weeks this is when the horror started. We like to call it, Phase 1.

-Phase 1: All of a sudden out of nowhere he starts burping in our faces. Farting by us. Throwing chewing gum about. It was so disgusting😷. Bear in mind he still wasn’t talking to us.

-Phase 2: He was still acting like an idiot but not as bad more like just kicking our chairs but he did start talking to us but just like making jokes and that.

-Phase 3: The horror finally ended. We were friends again. He was talking to us normally again. I cannot express to you how relieved we were.

To this day we still laugh about it although we don’t speak to him anymore (he’s gone weird and just changed). But looking back this is such a funny story now. Not saying I’d want it to happen again though😶. I just feel sorry for S it happened to her 3 times.

2. Horrible History

This has been brushed over before in a previous post so I thought I’d elaborate.

When we got put into sets in history S and I were in the same class. The first teacher we had was Mr C and he had the biggest problem with us (mainly me), most lessons he would:

-Tell us to stop talking when the whole class was basically talking.

-Move me to the front of the class all the time.

-Blatantly ignore us when we had our hands up to answer a question or ask something as in he actually looked at us and would ignore us.

I know this all sounds really bad but we did actually have jokes with him, he was quite a decent teacher and his lesson were quite fun despite all of that.

The second history teacher we had was Miss V. Mr C left the school so she took over our class instead and she was so funny although we had to do loads of controlled assessments with her . I remember this one time S was using some vaseline (she doesn’t go anywhere without some) and Miss V walked over and goes “arr napalm” (if you know you know) and we just burst out laughing😂 bearing in mind we were learning about the Vietnam war at the time.

So all the class got bad grades in their controlled assessments (don't ask😂) so we got given our third teacher Mr M and he was the funniest one yet. As I’d been in the Athletics team I’d trained with him before so I was the only one he really knew in the class so he’d always come over to talk to S and I (as we sat together).

But anyway these are the reasons he was so funny :

-He’d always come over to talk to us and joke about with us

-He would make alot of jokes in the class and because we were quite loud we’d laugh the loudest so it came to the point were he’d make a joke and actually look at us to laugh😂.

-When we watched videos and he stood at the back of the class (where we sat) and because we’d be talking he would shine his whiteboard laser at us to get us to stop talking.

-He’d always be singing around the classroom which was hilarious.

That’s just a few of the things that happened in that class but he’s probably our favorite teacher not to mention he’s practically the reason we got A’s by the end of the year😊.

3. Bus life

Once upon a time S and I went for a shopping trip. To get up to the shopping centre we caught a bus, let’s call it the ***.

I caught the bus first because the bus stop is right outside my house then a few minutes down the road S got on the bus. But S was still trying to use her out of date pass😂.

The driver caught S and she started asking him how much a child fayre was eventhough she already knew. Then she calls up the bus to where I’m sat laughing asking me if I have a pound. I walked down and put the pound in then she starts paying the rest of the money in1p’s😂. At this point the driver got really fed up and said to her “you’re gonna take forever doing that just go” and gives her the ticket.

After this we go and sit down and this man at the front of the bus is staring at us and smiling😶 and he did that the whole 45 minutes of the bus journey. Talk about creepy.

But this isn’t the reason this story’s funny it’s funny because my girl (S) stepped on the bus in Timberlands, with a DKNY purse and all her name branded clothes but can’t pay a simple £1.15 for a ticket😭 eventhough she had the money.

To this day we don’t catch the *** bus just incase we bump into the driver again and S doesn’t try and use out of date passes anymore😂.

Well we’ve reached the end of this post, hope you liked it. Let us know what your favourite memowees are and why. Byee.

5 Things Girls Will Understand The Struggle Of

Bonjour! Hope you’re all well. This post is for all you girls out there (guys maybe you can relate too) who encounter these struggles:

1. PERIODS!! - The struggle when you’ve started your period and you don’t have any spare pads/tampons. So then you’re on a mission to find anyone that has a spare pad/tampon they can give you. Tip: always ensure you have at least 1 spare pad/tampon with you.

2. That semi pregnant belly you gain after eating - I know that P & I get this haha. After I’ve eaten quite a lot my belly gets huge!!

3. Spots - Argh!! This annoys me so much. I hate when I have that one huge volcano that’s needs to erupt fast but decides it gonna remain smack bang in the middle of my forehead greeting everyone I talk to.

4. Bras & boobs - Am I the only one that sometimes finds bras irritating?! I’m forever looking forward to going home and yanking my bra off. I wish I was brave enough to just go out without one sometimes.

5. The amount money we spend on makeup - Firstly I don’t wear makeup, I’ve worn makeup once in my life (so far) and that was for my year 11 prom. The only form of makeup I actually own is mascara, my eyebrow pencil and lipsticks/lipgloss. I actually want to start buying and wearing make up now though but I think I’ll need about £100. So many of my friends spend soooo much money on makeup it’s unbelievable. Personally I’d prefer to spend my money on food like KFC hot wings haha!

Don’t feel sad but unfortunately that’s the end of this post. Don’t worry though we have a ton of new blog post ready for you so make sure you are following us so you don’t miss a single one. Au Revoir!

Brows For Days

Hey ho. So tooday I’d like to bring some light to one very important factor of life. BROWS! That’s right I said it, you read it right, eyebrows. Eyebrows can come in many different shapes and sizes. Big, small, thin, thick, bushy, fair, dark, non existent, etc. Many, many different shapes and sizes.

Some can be very high maintenance and your forced to have to pluck, thread, wax, fill them in, etc. To think we go through all this just for 2 little clusters of hair above our eyes. So let’s talk brows.

Personally I fill mine in with powder. I find it easier to use when filling in and shaping my brows, aswell as for the little fade at the front of my brow (if you know you know 😏), I’ve tried using a pencil but I feel like its harder to control with the chance you press too hard and it’s too dark or add too much or draw both eyebrows differently so you have to wipe it all off and start again. With powder if I apply too much I can just easily dap with a wipe and it’s just easier for me to control.

I on the other hand (S) use an eyebrow pencil from Milano Kiko. I just draw over my eyebrows lightly and brush it in to give it a natural look but they do stand out more. I’m not too keen on colouring in my eyebrows because I don’t wear make up and I think it looks a bit weird to have completely fleeky eyebrows without the rest of my face done haha.

(Back to me) But in all things good there must be a bad and thats why I want to tackle the problem of horribly overdrawn rectangular brows. I’m sorry but why and when was that even a thing. Guys come on it isn’t cute. It’s just way too over the top and most of the time it doesn’t even look good. This madness needs to come to an end. But that’s none of my business☕🐸.

Unfortunately we’ve come to the end of this post but let us know what you use to do your eyebrows. Byee.

Get To Know Me. -P

Hello, hello, hello, so I made a list of questions for myself to answer in this post. Let’s get into it.

1. What’s your favourite colour?

I don’t really have a favourite colour but if you could base it off the colour clothes I wear the most then I suppose my favourite colour is black.

2. Summer or winter?

Summer hands down. I mean I like to see the snow outside and all but it another story when your out in it. I would love to live in a country like Australia where it’s basically summer all year round. Sorry to rant but I just need to get this out. I just don’t understand how people can justify preferring winter by saying they’d rather be cold then warm up than be warm and have to cool down. It might just be me but I genuinely dont understand the logic. Is the aim not to be warm still so why not just be warm in the first place? If you like winter fair enough but please stop with that reasoning. Rant over😊.

3. What’s your favourite hobby?

It has to be going to the cinema. I would go every day if I could. Is it just me that feels that films are way better when your watching them in the cinema than at home?

4. Tea or coffee?

Sorry to disappoint but neither. I hate tea and coffee, I’m more of a hot chocolate person. I’ll drink frappés, cappuccinos and I do love abit of tiramisu but other than that it’s a no from me.

5. What sports have you play?

Where do I start. I don’t think there’s a sport I haven’t played. If you hadn’t gathered I’m quite a sporty person so I’ve been on most of the school teams, in fact I have a black belt in kick boxing👊.

6. Do you speak any other languages (besides English)?

Why yes 😏 yes I do. I speak Spanish fluently-ish since I had to study it in school for 5 years.

7. What is your biggest fear?

I HATE all insects, bugs, creepy crawlies, you name it I probably won’t like it. When I say hate I mean I will literally scream if I see one unexpectedly. Whenever I see one in the house I always have to call someone to get rid of it.

8. iPhone or Android?

Android all the way. Sorry to all those IPhone fans out there but there’s no way I can have a phone that stops working after a year and cracks from the smallest drop. Although S would disagree with me😂.

9. What is one of your bad habits?

I bite my nails alot when I’m under pressure or having to think alot like in exams or when I’m revising for example. By the end all my nails are gone.

10. Favoirite Desert?

Guys this one has to be ice cream 100%. I honestly couldn’t live without it. I’ll even buy tubs just to eat all by myself, I love it that much. If I could marry a desert it would be ice cream.

Well this concludes my ‘Get to know me’ post hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions you’d like to ask or posts you’d like to see don’t be afraid to leave a message.

Get to Know Me. -S

Hey guys! We thought that it would be nice for you guys to learn a bit more about us so we decided to both write Get to Know Me posts. If you have any other questions ask away. Without further ado…

1. What’s your favourite colour? Blue

2. What is your funniest moment in high school? When someone P and I both knew fell out with us because I asked them “are you alright” because they were upset and were crying. That’s what we get for trying to be a good friend, the silent treatment for several weeks.

3. What was your favourite/ worse high school subject? My favourite subject was history because my history teacher gave P and I so much joke, he made history so much fun! My least favourite would probably be business because the lessons were really boring. I liked the teacher but the PowerPoints were boring which made the lesson drag so much.

4. Tea or coffee? Neither! HOT CHOCOLATE for the win but I do prefer tea than coffee. To be honest I’ve never had coffee.

5. What sports have you/do you play? In high school I was on the basketball, netball, athletics & rounders team. I love playing sports.

6. Do you speak any other languages (besides English)? I can speak Spanish but not fluently. I wish I could speak some other languages fluently though.

7. What are some of your favourite TV shows? It’s a good thing the question says “some” because my list would take me all day to write so I’ll condense it down to my top 3. #1 Teen Wolf, #2 Pretty Little Liars & #3 the Flash.

8. iPhone or Android? Definitely iPhone. I love my iPhone so much and I cannot see myself with an Android phone.

9. What is one of your bad habits? Biting my nails. I’m not proud of it. 😔

10. If you could eat any food/meal right now, what would it be? BBQ RIBS!! Anyone who knows me will know I love T.G.I Friday’s Jack Daniels’ ribs. I always buy the full rack when I go there.

I hope you guys enjoyed getting to know a bit more about me. If you would like more posts like this please let us know. As the Spanish say, Adios Amigos!

Trends That Need To Die In 2016!

Hola! So as you will all be aware (well I hope you are) we have now entered 2017. So to give 2016 the send off it rightfully deserves I’d like to dedicate this post to all those irritating trends that we had to put up with in 2016 and just say adios to them for good. So without further adieu, in no particular order here are the top 5 trends i feel need to die in 2016.

1) First things first… Harambe. Come on guys really. So for those of you who don’t know of this you must have been living under a rock the whole of 2016 because honestly this incident blew the Internet up. No exaggeration. Let’s see, so the first time it may have been a little bit funny but then it went on and on and on… and on till it had been completely used up. It was taken way out of control and went way past a joke, to be honest it even got a bit disrespectful at one point. So yeah let’s not bring that into 2017. Adios.

2) One word Musically. Can someone please take away these crop top wearing, body rolling, booty shaking 12 year olds’ mobile phones please I beg you . Go read a book. Ride a bike. Just stop making lip sync videos that aren’t even in sync. I honestly don’t even know how this became a thing it’s like one day I woke up and there it was all over the Internet. Sorry but I can’t take it anymore time for Musically to say bye and disappear for good. Adios.

3) I’m sure most of you out there can agree that we have long waited for the day pokemon go would just, go. I feel like I’m the only one that goes outside to relax, be one with nature and just enjoy the outdoors instead of whipping out my phone to catch pokemon. I just don’t get it. I remember one day we went for a family day out and my brother spent the whole trip trying to catch pokemon. This needs to be put to a stop. No joke. Adios.

4) Next on the list in the infamous mannequin challenge (tries but doesn’t really try not to bring attention to the fact the S spelt it manikin when drafting this post lol). Can I just say I heard black beatles way before this challenge came out and I genuinely liked it so when the challenge did come out I was kind of like ooh that’s cool and not gonna lie it was quite lit at first. But that soon died out by the sheer overuse of this challenge. Now I can’t even bare to listen to the song, as soon as it comes on I switch songs. This is what it has come, I’ve gone from someone who actually liked the song to not being able to stand it in merely a couple of weeks. So from me this horrible trend get an adios.

5) Last but certainly not least is the hoe/dog filter on snapchat. Guys it’s not cute anymore stop ✋. That’s all I can say, stop. It went from just the one dog to a second dog to flipping the camera to see someone from the dog’s view. Like what even is that. Why does this exist. I thought snapchat was supposed to update filters regularly and replace them but this one never seems to go. This filter gets one big fat adios.

Although, the list could go on forever unfortunately we have reached the end of the top 5 trends that need to die in 2016. And all I can do now is hope that these trends do die in 2016. So the last thing I have to say to everyone is… Adios 😊.

Ps- If you hadn’t noticed already I’m in a Spanish kind of mood today.

YouTubers Using Clickbait

Hey guys! So today I was binge watching some YouTube videos and there was one thing that just kept irritating me - when YouTubers use clickbait to get more views. Like please stop. I’m tired of seeing “My First Time” “I Can’t Do This Anymore” “I Have Something to Tell You.” If your title has absolutely no relation to your video then what’s the point? You’re basically lying to your viewers and for what? So you can get paid more because you’ve achieved higher than 1,000,000,000 views. I’m not a YouTuber (yet aha) so maybe it’s hard trying to think of a new title for every video but it’s unfair to basically lie to your viewers, if you’re going to use a juicy title then ensure it is actually related to your video.

Mock Week

Hello again. So, last week I had mocks (practise exams). I am honestly so glad it was so early into the year because when I saw I was not prepared at all I wanted to cry. I mean I was so unprepared. As I hadn’t done any revision since the start of term I had to spend the whole 2 weeks of my Christmas holidays making flashcards, doing revision booklets and going through all my books. Trust me if you haven’t done this before it is not the way you want to be spending your Christmas holiday. This has really shown me that I need to be revising every day now. Like I take my education seriously so I really don’t want this to be another repeat of GCSEs where for some of my exams literally the only piece of revision I did was the day before my vital life depending exam! When I think about it now I have no idea what on earth I was thinking.

Anyhoo hopefully I’ll be getting my results soon so all I can do now is wait and hope I’ve done decent at least. But honestly guys take it from me, revision is key. (I didn’t even mean to make that rhyme haha oow check me out.)

friENEMIES

Hiya! Being a teenager I think it’s safe to say that I have experienced my fair shares of hypocrisy, encountered more two faced people than I can count (jokes), been lied to and gained & lost a lot of friends. High school was not easy. Trust me. My friendship group changed more times than Apple releases a new iPhone (okay so that’s a slight exaggeration but you see my point). Why do some people find it so hard to just be honest with someone they refer to as a “friend?!” Whenever I have an issue with my best friend (co-founder if this blog) I’ll just say it to her and then we sort it out. Although she doesn’t always have the same mentality as I do because one time in high school we fell out for a whole week over the dumbest thing ever and she didn’t even both to confront me with it, I sucked up my pride and spoke to her about it. Now we laugh about it. Don’t get me wrong, there will be a time when you and your friend probably won’t see eye to eye but you both need to just talk about it.

Being an A Level student and being at a sixth form college I thought that childish behaviour would have been abolished by now. I was wrong. You can’t escape it anywhere. I watch other friendship groups deteriorate over the dumbest of things. It makes you question were they really friends? I’m really happy with my friendship group. I don’t need a million friends, it comes with too much drama. So take my advice and keep your friendship circle as small as possible. You’ll be less likely to encounter snakes (well one can hope haha).

Send in any friendship tips/advice you have, we would love to read them. Also tell us your dumbest fall out you have ever had with your best friend.
