A surprise BBQ Party & Cocktails ♡

So the other day my family threw a surprise BBQ party for a relative and it was hilarious!

My dad is a pro when it comes to BBQ's, my sisters are pro's when it comes to decorating and preparing the food and I'm a pro at.. well.. hmm.. blowing balloons up with our bestestest friend Debbie (Click here for her blog) I think I got the easiest task because I'm the youngest of the 3 sisters. 

Don't you just hate it when you forgot to stretch the balloon before blowing it up and it pops just as you've started? Yeah.. so do I lol!

To start the day off I had my breakfast, a quick shower, we all got ready and headed to our local supermarket for the food, drinks, decorations and ice-lollies. Mmm! Once that was done, we treated ourselves to a Pistachio Magnum. YUMMY!



My outfit:
NewLook- vest top & sandals
Primark- tan belt, sunglasses, small tan bracelet
H&M- floral skater skirt (click here for my blog post about it)


When we arrived home, everyone started their specific job roles and we had around 2-3 hours to get everything done. 



We had an amazing time with our family and friends, the food tasted amazing (as usual) thanks dad! :) We had many laughs, a few screams from the balloon popping and lastly, sore bums from sitting on a garden bench too long haha!

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog :)

Love Laura

Get To Know Me || Part 2 ♡

Have you been out of the Country? Yes :D 3 times

Do you speak any other Languages? I can only speak English fluently but I know the odd words, phrases and small questions in French, Spanish (from school and holidays) and also in Polish (from my best friend)

Have you graduated High School? Yeah, I left in 2012. I've just left sixth form too and I'm starting university in September. EEEEK!!

Do you have any siblings? I have 2 older sisters- Amy and Anna.

What’s your favourite store? I shop at 3 stops the most- H&M, NewLook and Primark but my favourite one has to be H&M.

Favourite Restaurant? Wetherspoons (pub/restaurant/bar) It has amazing food! I used to go there nearly every week at one point lol. The food is delicious!!! If you love English pub dinners you will love Wetherspoons ;)

Did you like school? I did and I didn't like school. I did because I made hilarious memories and friends, I also liked the majority of my subjects and there are some teachers that helped me to get where I am today, I am very thankful.
I went to an “all girls” school however when I was in year 11 it changed to a mixed school and from then on our school’s reputation went down hill, the teachers became stricter because there were more people who miss behaved which meant that there had to be horrible rules :(

 Favourite YouTubers? Oh gosh, I have loads!!!
Wow! That took a while…

 Favourite Movie? My favourite movie is Dear John.

 Favourite TV show? It has got to be Hollyoaks, but when Big Brother comes on that’s my favourite ;)

 Pc or Mac? I've always had a PC but when I can eventually afford my own Mac computer or laptop, I’ll be switching ;)



 What phone do you have? Samsung Galaxy S III Mini

 How tall are you? Let’s just say short.


I hope you've enjoyed reading this blog post and getting to know me a little bit better :) If you have any suggestions of tags that I can do, please comment down below :)

Thank you for reading my blog,

Love Laura

Get To Know Me || Part 1 ♡

Hello there! Welcome back to my blog. I've decided to take part in another tag for you to get to know me better so I hope you enjoy :)

Do you have a middle name? Nope but my full name is Laura Steele :) 

What was your favourite subject in school? I enjoyed the majority of my subjects in school a lot but my favourite subject was maths. Mainly because my teacher in year 10 & 11 was so funny, he would always make us laugh every lesson. Also because we got taken out of PE (Physical Education) lessons for extra maths and the teachers there were hilarious! We had lots of fun, laughs (sometimes with tears haha) but we did work hard even though they bribed us with biscuits ;) 

 What’s your favourite drink? Definitely Dr. Pepper! 

 Favourite song at the moment? Ella Eyre – If I goSia – Chandelier


 What would you name your children? Woah, I’m only 18 ;) It’s too early for me to think of my children’s names ;)

  Do you participate in any sports? I was a dancer but I stopped 2 years ago :(

 Favourite Book? I don’t read books as it’s not something I’ve been interested in for years but when I was younger my favourite book was Laura’s Star. (I’ve still got my first copy of it) I used to memorise the first few paragraphs of it and if I read over it again I would probably still be able to do that haha. Geek.

  Favourite Colour? Currently it’s a coral/peachy colour.

 Favourite Animal? I’m such a dog lover!! 

 Favourite perfume? Trésor Midnight Rose- I don’t have this perfume but my cousin wears it all the time and it smells beautiful! I don’t know how to describe the smell but the description is: “Lancôme's mischievous and playful fragrance” I need to purchase it ;)

  Favourite holiday? My first ever family holiday abroad is my favourite holiday, we went to Zante and it was fab!!!  I drove a small boat! (I don’t know if that’s the correct term lol) I’m pretty sure my family were scared because I was only 15. I wish I had proof of this because it was the best experience of my life haha!

I hope you've enjoyed reading this blog post and getting to know me a little bit better :) I'm going to be posting the rest of this soon so keep posted! ;)

Love Laura

25 Things About Me ♡

1. I love sweet food

2. I love dogs (if they're not viscous)

3. When my mum was pregnant with me, the scans showed that I was a boy so my parents called me Jack lol. My parents told me this story when I was in my childhood years and obviously I miss heard so what happened? I started telling my friends in primary school my middle name was Jack and I wrote on all of my books throughout primary school "Laura Jack Steele"Yes, my teachers were really confused lol. In year 6 my teacher actually asked my mum what the story was behind it. It was sooo embarrassing!

4. I love fitness/exercising (when I can be bothered)

5. When I was younger nearly all of the kids in my street had water fights. One day me and my sister waited in my friends garden for her to come out. She let her Alsation dog out by accident she said. Anyway, it bit me in my back, my sister swung me around after to protect me, God knows what could of happened if she didn't. From what I can still remember it hurt really bad :( wow bad memories lol! Luckily I don't have any scars.

6. I have two sisters.

7. My birthday is on the 21st of February.

8. I was born in 1996 and up until a few years ago it always used to snow on my birthday  

9. I used to part my hair down the middle, gel it down until I got it perfect and I tied it at the bottom of my head. Me and my primary school best friend has the exact same hairstyle for years! We thought we was cool. Lol.

10. My favourite colour changes all of the time- currently it's a coral/peachy colour 

11. My first job- I worked at TK Maxx. I was 16 and I hated it!

12. I'm starting university this September- I'm nervous, scared and excited 

13. I was always the shy girl in my primary school and high school years unless I was with my friends ;) they brought the funny and weird side of me out.
They still do hehe 

14. I have many memories from high school but one I remember so clear is this- me and my friends blew up balloons one day and we put them under our tops to make boobs and pregnant bellies whilst our tutor laughed at us and took pictures- 2/3 years later she embarrassed us in our year 11 leaving assembly lol. It was funny looking back at them. (I can't find the pictures but when I do I'll add them to this post!)
15. I'm a Yorkshire lass! 

16. I can't sing...

17. I used to dance- street dance, contemporary & cheer-leading.

18. I love meerkats  I started collecting the toys but I've stopped lol.. My sister bought me a meerkat pen haha & a few of my friends in sixth form started calling me Sergei lol... #awks

19. I've never been to a gig/festival.

20. I'm under 5ft lol.. hmm.. I hate genetics -.-

I ran away crying whilst putting my hands over my ears screaming and shouting "I don't want it done!!!" Lol. I had no choice but to be forced to get my other ear pieced haha. I'm very thankful now though
