#MusicMonday: Heartbeat Song - Kelly Clarkson

Happy Music Monday! 

When Kelly Clarkson released the Heartbeat song it was not available in the UK so I had only heard a small snippet until I heard it on the radio and when it played its one of these songs that you instantly know (How I don't know) but after a few seconds I knew the lyrics and was singing along very happily to the chorus.

This was not what I was expecting from Clarkson as it has been widely rumoured that this talented lady was going to transfer over to country (something that I'd happily see) it is a crazy upbeat song that will bring a smile to your face when  you hear it, though I'm still not sure of what I make off the video, I am defiantly loving Kelly's Heartbeat song.

Looking forward to the new album expected in march and all the new sounds this powerhouse has in-store for us!

January Favourites

January is by far my least favourite month of the year. Why? well, your hitting the post christmas blues, everyone is skint... and feeling it, all the lights have been taken down,so the world feels a little less magical than it did in December but even more cold. Plus January takes a whole 31 days to get through.

But never the less here are the few goodies that made my month all that more bare able.



1)  Salvation - Wakey Wakey, I have already talked about this album when it first came out, but this month the vinyl finally arrived. It has barely been out of my record player, there is something genuinely lovely about listening to music on vinyl. Its more of an experience.

2) Love Tanya - Tanya Burr, this book is absolutely gorgeous, Tanya Burr is a beauty and fashion blogger/vlogger  as well as inspiration to many teens/young adults. Love Tanya, is full of hints and tips from beauty to life this a lovely read.

3) Indian Summer - Tyler Hilton, I don't think I have talked about this album yet but it was made downloadable a few months back, but the CD has just arrived. I blogged back in 2012 about seeing Tyler live, and have now seen him live three times, he has such a raw, authentic voice. Mixed with guitar and you can't go wrong. The hard copy recently arrived and I love owning physical copies of music. Digital is all well and good but I do like being able to hold something.

4) Natural Glow Shadow and Primer Palette 2 - Barry M - I have a little obsession with darker eye shadows, and own quite a collection. But I never had any nude for some reason, this brilliant little palette is easy to apply and looks wonderful on. Brilliant if your breaking into new territory.

5) Scandaleyes Eye Liner - Maybeline, My thing with eyeliner is that I can never find an easy to apply one, nearly every eyeliner I have bought in the past takes a little bit more time and if your in a rush like I nearly always am, then I often have to go without. The felt pen type style of Scandaleyes is beyond easy to apply, it makes my days a lot simpler and can through it on in the morning with not much worry about smudging or fading as its quite long wearing.

6) Roller Lash - Benefit, I like a lot of others dashed out to get the new issue of Elle so that I could try the new mascara, They're Real has been my best friend and saviour for years now and I daren't use anything else as it gives my lashes the best look i feel. I have on odd occasion dabbled in bad gal' benefit are my number one eye lash (and brow) go-to-brand. The last few days Roller Lash and I have been getting on like a house on fire, though I think I am not fully swayed from my bestie They're real, but I shall defiantly be investing in a full sized tube of this little darling.
