In August 2015,the most awkward experience in my life happened to me and I'm SO glad that Lauren (my best friend) experienced this embarrassing-yet funny moment with me.
On this particular day my parents both had the dentist and my mum told me in the morning that there was going to be a man in the house fixing the faulty with the house phone. I also invited Lauren round since I was really bored and also needed upliftment. Whilst me and Lauren sat in my bedroom chatting away I heard a low voice from downstairs, which was the electrician (aka BT guy)
When my mum called me downstairs to say she was going to the dentist she said that the BT guy was at the local electric pole around the corner from my house.She also said to remain downstairs until the BT guy came back into the house and had gone in case he actually turned out to be a burglar.
So as me and Lauren remained downstairs in my lounge chatting away for about 10 minutes that's when we noticed the BT guy walking up my garden path out of the corner of my eye and OH MY...
As soon as me and Lauren saw him we both darted eyes at each other and instantly smiled.
I'm not talking about an old, wrinkly 50 year old man I'm talking about at least a 19/20 year old man with tanned skin, dark hair and RayBan sunglasses.
He then walked back in the house and asked where my mum had gone so I gave him a reply of "she went to the dentist, she told you" The BT guy just froze as he knew he was in a lonely house with two teenage girls. After an awkward second, he carried on repairing the house phone in the front room whilst me and Lauren stood and watched whilst doing the odd smirking and giggling tto each other as a hot guy just stood in front of us doing his job.
imagined how awkward it is yet?
it gets even MORE awkward...
As the BT guy goes into the kitchen he asks me if he can connect the phone and the wifi up together and this moment I just said an awkard reply of "i'm not sure" as I didn't want my parents coming ack and blaming me for something they didn't want the electrician to do.
At this moment I sat back down carried on talking until my mums phone started vibrating and the song "girls just wanna have fun" started playing (don't ask, this is her ringtone) I instantly picked up the phone in case the dentist was a disguised murderer until I also heard a hello in the kitchen...
He then said "Hello is this "..........." and I ACTUALLY replied with a no
It turned out that the BT guy actually rang my mums phone to ask permission to connect the phone to the wifi and as my mum didn't take her phone with her the awkward moment happened.
He then came back into the lounge and started laughing as I turned crimson in the face like a beetroot..
I made an idiot of myself in front of a hot guy. Well played Emily...

Pamper routine
For me a pamper routine is the excuse to light some candles, de-stress, have a bubble extravaganza in the bath and fall into complete relaxation mode so here is "my pamper routine":
Firstly, I light the obligatory Yankee candle in "vanilla frosting" with some other tea light candles to set the vibe. I also run lush's "creamy candy" bubble bar under the running tap to create some fluffy bubbles. Doing these two procedures gives off a sweeten scent in my bathroom making it perfect to relax. I also play a relaxation playlist on Spotify to create a D.I.Y spa.
Some people might say I use too many products in the bath but when I'm giving myself a pamper I really want to make sure I'm very clean.
The products I use:
This creamy sweet-scented body wash from Lush is only available at Christmas so when it does come round to that festive period make sure you get your hands on this quick as it's very popular and sells out very fast! There's various sizes that come with this wash (Small, medium and large bottles-the larger the bottle the more expensive)I have also heard that this body wash is the same scent as the lush "candy cane mountain bubble bar"
Aqua Kiss
This body scrub is perfect to feel luxurious as it's from Victoria Secret. This product scrubs your body dirt away so its ideal to feel clean. I believe Victoria Secret is only available in big-main cities around the UK so it could be difficult to get hold of this product but you could always order online. I picked this product in a 3 for £24 pounds including this product I got VS "pure seduction" body mist" and aqua kiss body lotion.
Soap and Glory Clean On Me
This foamy-consistency body wash gives off the classic soap and glory scent which consist of cookies and vanilla. It's a body wash which does it's job...TO CLEAN!! This product comes at an affordable price which you get a lot of product for . As a bonus, the packaging is so cute!!
Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo
This shampoo is a creamy-foamy consistency which leaves your hair a shiny texture. I believe this shampoo is a little bit more on the pricey side but it does do the job to a high standard as there is also a numerous other shampoo's such as the Aussie shampoo that protects your hair from heat damage.
Soap and Glory Righteous Butter
This product is for use after wash. Apply this on your skin to create the soft, smooth skin you've always dreamed of. I also find with body lotions they often leave your skin sticky and greasy but with this dreamy butter lotion it soaks into your skin with a smooth after finish.

Make up and selfies;false appearance?
Are we a society that absorbs narcissism and jealousy through the power of selfies?
Are we a society that 44% of women experienced "negative feelings" when they weren't wearing make up;16% reported they felt unattractive;14% reported they felt self conscious and the other 14% admitted they felt "naked"?*
With many teens (previously using it myself) having editing face apps such as face tune and perfect 365 to erase blemishes, soften the skin, brighten eyes, whiten teeth and to correct imperfections on their 'selfie' it's hard not to give a false appearance.
So why do we do "edit"?
Editing our flaws and imperfections on our "selfies" on social media makes us appear more beautiful and "hot" than we are,making it easy to attract people on social media,get more "likes" and to get attention.However,editing apps are misleading people on social media as from my previous experiences I have had boys message me on social media saying my profile pictures look "hot" and "beautiful" but when they see me outside of social media they laugh amongst themselves and feel
embarrassed that they called me pleasing names.Hence,I find it hard to accept myself and have low confidence.With myself,I only show the left side of my face on snapchat as its my 'good side' I also raise my left eyebrow as it makes my eye appear bigger and makes my eyebrows look lifted.
So do the way we pose also make us have a false appearance?
Many people ask others today:why do you wear make up?
Make up is a mask for some people.Its a comfort zone in their own body,pleasing to apply and makes me and others that 1% more confident.However,some women today feel the need to apply her "mask" in order to attract or please others.
A girl in my class the other day asked me "Emily,how can you not wear make up for school?" and I simply replied "I just can"
I feel like teens and other people these days have pressure to apply such cosmetics in order to look beautiful or appear attractive when in reality,"it's the inside of your true self which really counts" (quote from my mother aged 53) In addition,not wearing make up everyday can give others a shock factor when I do wear make up.
So is it the way we pose,present ourselfs or the apps we use that give us the inacurrate impresion?
