February Favourites ••• Music, Pictures, Zala Hair, Crystals

I've always loved photography and it's such a great feeling being able to express it through my blog and social media accounts. I'm usually taking pictures where ever I go to, catching life time memories is just one big bonus, pictures I can look back on for the rest of my life.

I cannot stop listening to bombaby bicycle club !!! I discovered them about two years ago and was really obsessed when I came across their music, I've been listening to them a lot again recently I can't get enough, they are insanely talented. Another band I have been listening to just recently are Wild Child, their so creative not just in their songs but in their filming/video making aswell. I haven't stopped listening to Rillo Talk one of my favourite videos of theirs. I have so much random songs on my soundcloud to list here but if you want to head over to my soundcloud and see what I've been listening to I'll leave the link here. When I can't sleep I will listen to so many songs for ages lol, it gets to a point where I like some right shit. I look back at it the next day and think WHY so if you find some awful awful songs on there, I am sorry haha :D :D

I got some new crystals and a healing ring, I randomly came across this shop whilst I was out.. it looked so interesting from the outside so I had to go in! I need to make a trip back there it was pretty awesome. It was a little shop full of crystals, hand crafted items and jewellery ect. I've really loved testing out new lenses for my camera I got hold of a kaleidoscope lense from a website called H0les, I've been using fish eye lenses as well, I got mine of EBay for really cheap.

More onto beauty products.. I'm so in love with St. Moriz  tan, I got sent a range of their products and I wanted to wait a while until I wrote about them so I could test them about before sharing what I thought, I have been using St. moriz for years now and I've always really liked their tan, it's SO affordable and looks nice on. I couldn't wait to try out their new range, I'm really happy with it. They have a bunch of products from long lasting tanning mousses to tanning primer.

I was looking for some good hair extensions for ages online because for some reason I can't really find any that I like very much. I looked for agessss... then I came across an Australian brand called Zala hair extensions, in all the comments on the youtube videos I watching/reviews etc. I couldn't find a bad word said about them at all. After looking for a while I was pretty confident in trying them out. They took about a week and a half to get to the UK and shipping cost me around £20 which I thought was pretty damn good! I'm so ecstatic about them and I'm so glad I came across them, they are really really thick from top to bottom, they have a lovely wavy look to them if you want to wear them natural and they are just such good quality. They are the best hair extensions I have ever bought and I'm going to stick with them! There's a few pictures on this post of me wearing them and some on my Instagram. By the way I paid for these extensions with my own money I have no affiliation with Zala.  

Hope you enjoyed my February favourites! If you have any questions about products just ask in the comments below or contact me on Instagram :D

My Favourite Music & What Music Apps I Use

Ok so today I'm writing something abit different to the usual, I'm going to be explaining what kind of music I listen to, my favourite songs at the moment and what app I use to download free music onto my playlists. 

So if you were to ask me what kind of music I listen to I can't really give you one genre because I'm open to a lot of different music but if I had to give you two of my favourite genres it would be house and D&B (Drum & Bass), when I was younger I wasn't crazy about music like I am now but as I've grown older I listen to it a lot more at any opportunity I can get. I have my headphones in the majority of the time (apart from when I'm with people because that would be rude!) 

The app I use to download free music is seriously a lifesaver, once you download the song you want onto your playlist you don't need any wifi to listen to it (aslong as its downloaded) so that's always handy for when you are out and have run out of Internet on your phone. I have an iPhone and anyone else with iPhones will know that iTunes is pretty pointless considering you have to pay for music when you can just get it for free on soundcloud, spotify or any other music app. The music app that I use is called iDownloader Pro and if you type 'iDownloader Free' in the App Store it should come up, a lot of similar apps come up which I have also tried but I don't find them to be as good as this one, feel free to try them out and see if you can find any better ones though because they may be out there! 

I really love this app and have a lot of music downloaded on it already so I don't feel the need to delete it and find another one or a better one as I don't want to lose all the music I have downloaded and secondly I never have any problems with it and it is so easy to use.

I have screen shotted what the app looks like so you have an idea of what one I have:

My favourite singers and bands of all time have to be Lana Del Rey, London Grammar and Daughter. I listen to these nearly everyday and have done for ages now, they are the type of people which make music that I cannot get bored of. My favourite song from Lana Del Rey is 'National Anthem', my favourite from Daughter is 'Love' and my favourite song from London Grammar is 'Wicked Game' these are my favourites but I still j'adore all the other songs! 

I also have a massive love for House Music and Drumb & Bass, I listen to this on a daily basis blasting through my headphones. I really love deep house and how chilled out it is, it really makes me feel calm and relaxed, whilst D&B just makes me feel abit more buzzed. I don't know if you have heard of 'Mr.Suicide Sheep? I listen to that ALOT and have for years now, if you type it in on the app I told you about or youtube a lot of songs will come up and hour long mixes, obviously I don't like every single song because there are a lot of mixes by them, but I have a lot I do love. My favourite song by them at the moment is Whithe 'Mistakes'. I am also loving 'Memtrix' at the moment and have been listening to Memtrix & Koven - Pessimist on repeat!

A few other people I'm loving at the moment are 'Andy C' and 'ODESZA' their kind of music definitely gets me excited and makes me happy.

On the iDownloader app I told you about, there are genres on there and once you click on it you can see all the music that comes up under the genres so it's so helpful for finding new music! 

I have downloaded a lot more mixes from the D&B and house genres on the app which I probably wouldn't of found if I was using youtube. 

A few of my favourite bands are The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Mumford And Sons and EchoSmith, I only heard about EchoSmith over the past few months and fell in love with their music instantly.

I hope this helped anyone struggling to find new music or a good easy app, I'm thinking of doing more updates on what music I love more often as I'm always on the look out for new songs and would love to share them with you all.
