'Googlenoia'

'Googlenoia'(google, Paranoia)- a word in which describes a state overusing google can put you in (i just created this word but it may or may not already exist)

I am one of the many people that whenever i have a cold or feel unwell i make the mistake of googling it. This is a risky action and whilst doing so it's like playing with fire. 

I always end up convincing myself that i have some weird tropical disease that will kill me. I will google something like do i have food poisoning and 5 minutes later will be panicking to my mum that i need to be in quarantine. 

The thing is half time i will look at the symptoms these illnesses have and will be saying to myself well i could have that or maybe i felt something but passed it off as nothing and forgot about it. 

After 10 minutes i will be fully convinced I'm about to die until my mum laughs at my face because of how stupid I'm being or i go to the doctor and they tell me I'm fine. 

I know I'm not the only one who does this though as a family friend of mine thought she had mad cow disease when really she was pregnant.

The moral of the post is i need to stop being so paranoid and to use google less

Shampoo will be the death of me

Lysette is taking a shower and shampoo goes in her eye. She cries out in pain whilst rubbing her eyes embedded the shampoo further in. Noticing this isn't working she pats the wall trying to find the cold tap which she does successfully however when she does try to get the water into her eyes she fails completely. Opening her eyes she tries to find the towel however the air and shampoo create a deadly combination making her feel more in pain. Lysette convinces herself she has gone blind whilst cursing at the shampoo which is supposedly her 'best friend'. After a while the pain starts to go and she calms down after realising she in fact hasn't gone blind. She laughs to herself whilst looking at the shampoo bottle then says 'nice try, your almost got me that time'.

This same scene happens about three times a week and i never learn. http://www.bloglovin.com/lysette1996

My f***** up fears

I like many people have fears but it's not until you hear the reasons why i have my fears that you will realise just how strange i am.

  • Spiders- This probably isn't news to anyone as I'm pretty sure most people are scared of them. However I'm am that scared of them that if i see one in my room i can't sleep in there because I'm afraid that it will have laid eggs somewhere that will hatch and release thousands of babies that will crawl on me when I'm sleeping. I also have a fear that a spider will lay eggs under my skin and scenes from Alien will be re created. 

  • Daddylongleggs- One because they are like flying spiders and two because i use to be fine with them until i killed one and a minute later another one attacked me. This has convinced me that they can in fact communicate with each other and have set some sort of death warrant on me because i killed their friend. 

  • Open water- This one I'm quite embarrassed about because I'm not scared of it because I'm scared i won't get back to land or sharks. This is because I'm scared fish will bite off my toes, so yes I'm more scared of fish biting off my toes than a shark biting off my leg. Also i have been in open water with those water shoes and felt fine.

  • Ants- yes you read that right i am afraid of ants. This is purely because if you think about all the creatures that would want to take over the world Ants wouldn't be one you would suspect but has the most reasons to want to kill us all. These being that we tread on them, take the piss out of them and let children terrorise them. Also i feel like we underestimate there strength as i have watched those nature programmes where a group of them drag away dead animal carcasses. The sad thing is i actually have nightmares where ants kill me and then drag me away. 

  • Heights- Not because i am scared of how far of the ground i am just because i don't trust myself with my life that high up. Knowing me i would trip myself up and fall to my death. 

So there you go you can now laugh at how pathetic my fears are. If you liked this please follow my blog on bloglovin http://www.bloglovin.com/lysette1996

Liebster Award!

I have recently been nominated by not 1 but 3 lovely ladies for the Liebster Award much to my surprise  as i haven't been blogging that long. Im not gong to lie until recently i had never heard of this award but from reading many blogs i have come to the understanding that it's a great way to connect more blogs and to gain more friends in the internet world. I was initially surprised that these girls had nominated me as i haven't been blogging for that long and started out as a way of expressing myself. At first this was a way for me to escape and the thought that people would actually enjoy what i write hadn't crossed my mind but it's lovely to hear that some people actually do like my posts and find them funny. 

As i mentioned i was nominated by three chicas but as Beauty Classified http://www.beautyclassyfied.co.uk/liebster-award/ nominated me first I'm going to answer her questions. After reading her post i understand that you nominate 11 bloggers that have under 200 followers and answer 11 questions. These bloggers if thy haven't already done it answer you questions and so on. 

  1. If you all your makeup was taken away but you could keep 3 things, what would they be? Eyeliner, concealer and bronzer 
  2.  Favourite fashion item…  High waisted jeans
  3.  Favourite blusher… MAC whole lotta love
  4.  Favourite movie… Easy A (i love the sass)
  5.  What/who inspired you to blog? I want to be a makeup artist so thought this would be a create way to learn and to help others learn. This has lead me on to exploring the comedy side of me which some may argue is not that hilarious but i always find myself laughing whilst writing which i guess is the most important thing. 
  6.  Leather jacket or fur jacket? If they are fake then leather as i feel like they are easier to dress up and down however i do love my faux fur sleeveless jacket
  7. Tell us one makeup tip that changed your life. When doing a cat eye use the end of your nose as a guild line to help get both eyes looking the same
  8.  Best advice you ever received from someone… (Does not have to be beauty related!) 'Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind'. I follow by this as i believe the people that are really your friends love you for who you are and would never want you to change yourself 
  9.  What is your favourite era in terms of beauty or fashion…you know like 50’s 60’s etc. Definintley 60s as i love midi skirts, Maxi skirts, crop tops however if it was acceptable to dress in 20s clothes everyday that would be my answer
  10.  What is your staple party look- from beauty to fashion? Little black dress, with some cute heels and red/dark red lipstick
  11. If there was one thing you could buy (money being no object) what would it be? Louis Vitton shoes!!!

Now for my turn, i nominate: 

My questions for you lovely ladies are:
  1. What is your favourite colour?
  2. Name one country/place you have never been to but would love to visit
  3. Who is your inspiration e.g. family member/celeb?
  4. Favourite thing to do on a Friday evening?
  5. What would be your dream job?
  6. If you could be any disney character who would you be?
  7. What piece of technology could you not live without?
  8. If you could have endless amounts of any food what would it be?
  9. Favourite film?
  10. If you could have any talent in the world what would you love to be able to do?
  11. Favourite clothing shop?
Once you have answered please let me know in the comments so i can read your answers :) Thank you to Furnaz Ahmed for nominating me

I am 99% sure you have at least done 3 of these


  • Balanced the light switch to see what happens

  • kept every limb under the duvet just i case a monster tries to attack us and we all know what protecting powers our duvets have *note sarcasm 

  • Ran to safety after turning the lights of at night, again in case there are monsters

  • Put finger in pets mouth when its yawning even though you know whats going to happen

  • pretended to be a mermaid when in water

  • Tried to sing underwater like Ariel 

  • Wondered if someone could read our mind and then got embarrassed as they would know everything you have thought  

  • Talked to an animal like it was a human

  • Listened to recordings of ourselves and wondered if we really sound like that in real life

  • convinced ourselves that we have some weird tropical disease when you feel ill

  • Wondered that if there are such things a ghosts does that mean they can see us in the shower or is it like on sims where bits are blurred

  • Pulled a sickie to get out of a test

What i hate about social media


  • when people from school/college try to have a conversation with you online and you only spoke to them a couple of hours ago. Like is it really necessary to try to speak to me when i saw you all day and the conversation isn't going to be anything interesting. 
Person: hi
me: hi
Person: how are you?
me:good, you?
person: good thanks 

(conversation over)
I mean come on was it really that important to ask me how i am when you saw me like 2 hours ago


  • When on Facebook you by accidentally click on a website or page and it comes up on your wall without you knowing saying something like "Lysette just read this". See this is why i have trust issues. If i wanted your page to come up on my wall i would share or like it, don't just take the piss by doing it without me knowing.

  • Facebook again when people send you a notification like "come join me on this website…." 

  • Actually no the whole of Facebook pretty much pisses me off

  • When people quote a tweet on twitter but don't say anything at the end or just put an emoji. Just retweet!!!!!!!

  • On twitter when people have someone vs someone for example One direction vs The wanted. Fair enough if you don't like certain bands and want to express how much you like or dislike someone but don't try to force that opinion on someone else especially another fan base. You really think by bigging up your favourite band trying to prove they're better is going to make the other fan base believe you. Also most fan girls are crazy there not going to listen to you! Another stupid vs is Uk vs USA. Really do we need to get into that and do people actually think one nation is going to be like ok we back down, no thats never going to happen.

  • Instagram hashtags. Girls especially make me cringe when they write down pretty much everything in the room. Selfie, whitagram, me, girl, hair, smiling, happy, bedroom, chair, wardrobe……. Just write a proper title!  

  • When couples post pictures of themselves practically having sex. I have three things to says for this: one now one wants to see this or cares about your relationship, two why would you want everyone to see that, and three wasn't that really awkward to do and take a picture at the same time? 

  • People that attack people over the internet. I just think people like that are really pathetic especially with the fact they have to do it over the internet, where everyone can see it and they wouldn't have the balls to say it in person. 

Here are my reasons as to why i hate social media. If you like this please follow me on bloglovin

A series of funny, disturbing and interesting facts


  • If you blend a sea sponge and lay it out it will eventually go back to it's original form. If you blend two sponges together they will after time go back to their original form into two separate sponges

  • In the olden days in new york they used to hang babies out in birdcages outside their windows because the apartments were so small

  • Ancient Egyptians slept on pillows made of stone

  • Dolphins are mammals meaning they have to come up for air to breathe which means they have to let half their brains sleep at a time otherwise they would drown

  • During your lifetime you will eat the equivalent of 6 elephants weight

  • Over 2,500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people (I'm left handed so this disturbs me a little bit but i guess would sound funny on a grave stone 'died by using right handed scissors')

  • Over 1,000 birds a year die from smashing into windows

  • When KFC frist translated their slogan "finger lickin good" into chinese is came out as "eat your fingers off"

The types of teachers i despise


The holidays are over and were back at school/college and i already want this term to be over. So here are some reasons why i loathe some teachers.

  • When you start packing up because the bell is gone and they shout at you saying the bell if for them and not for you and that you'll be dismissed when they say

  • When they stop you from packing up because there is 1 minute left

  • The teachers that make you copy of the board for the whole lesson

  • Teachers that know you don't know the answer but still pick on you to embarrass you

  • when they shout at you for talking, then shout at you for not talking or participating in work related discussion

  • Ones that give you surprise exams

  • Teachers with bad breath/body odor

  • Ones that act like they're your age

  • Ones that send you out for breathing

  • Teachers that act like the school uniform police

  • When teachers mark you later after coming in 30 seconds after the bell

  • Teachers that tell you their life story

  • when they make you peer mark other peoples work even though it's their job and they only do it to make their life easier

  • When they make out their subject is the most important out of all the subjects your taking

  • Ones that treat you like your four

  • When you ask to go to the toilet and they answer by saying 'are you desperate?' well if i wasn't desperate then i wouldn't be asking to go would i

Hope your teachers are also like this and not just mine. If you liked this please follow me on bloglovin at http://www.bloglovin.com/lysette1996

Why my parents annoy me


  • My mum is such a neat freak that she always tidies my room when I'm not there and puts things where they don't belong so i can't find them when i need them

  • Being a neat freak she insists on hovering at like 8 in the morning 

  • Whenever i have friends round my dad tries embarrass me and most of the time it works 

  • I swear they have a better social life than i have 

  • Whenever me and my dad are in public he always tries to hold my hand because he thinks it's funny how annoyed i get (I'm 17 by the way)

  • They never shut the door when leaving my room, they leave it with a slit gap and for some reason this incredibly pisses me off and i have to get up and shut it

  • They get annoyed when i take the piss out of them but when they do it to me it's allowed

  • Im treated like a child but they always have a go at me telling me to act like an adult

  • They try to take my food away before I'm finished

  • They ruin my amazing, thought out Facebook statuses with their comments

These are just a few things that really annoy me about my parents and parents in general. If you can relate please follow me on bloglovin http://www.bloglovin.com/lysette1996

I AM A HOARDER!

I have a problem, one i have been dealing with for sometime. Much to my mums disgrace i Lysette am a hoarder. Literally my room is a graveyard for stationary, clothes and make-up and i just can't bring myself to throw any of it away. I just feel like even though these are things i can't use for their soul purpose anymore i will eventually find some use for them and i know I'm that unlucky that even if i did clear out my room like a week later i would actually need some of the things i threw out.
Im also an art student and if you didn't know in art we use loads of random stuff to create with so i know my teacher would turn round to me and ask if i had any old newspapers or wrappers and i would have to say to her that i did a week ago but i threw them out. The look of disgust she would give me is something i just can't face.
Like that Jason Mraz song, i just can't give up on these dead objects as i feel like they do have some other use and it's my life purpose to find out what that use is. However here i am admitting i have a problem and that i don't actually need 50 pens that don't work or those eyeliner pots that have nothing in them.
Any normal person would say at this point 'well it's now 2014, I'm finally going to sort out this problem' but i am not normal and i just can't part with this stuff, well not yet anyway.

So there you go i am a hoarder. If you liked this post please like my blog on bloglovin http://www.bloglovin.com/lysette1996

Why i hate the word Quiet

I don't know about you but i feel like the word quiet is used incorrectly to describe people all the time. I am one of those people that is sometimes described as quiet and this extremely annoys me and here are the three main reasons why.


  1. Just because I'm not getting involved in your conversation does not mean I'm quiet, it means that your topic of choice is incredibly boring and does not interest me in the slightest so theres no point pretending.
  2. If i am being quiet it probably means i don't like the person talking and am insulting them in my head
  3. And last but not least, i am a teenager and am always tired so am too busy sleeping with my eyes open to get involved in conversation.

So there you go those are my three reasons as to why i may seem quiet but am actually a very talkative person. If you can relate please follow me on bloglovin http://www.bloglovin.com/lysette1996. Sorry also if this sounds grumpy but i am a teenager after all.
