New Years Party!

So right now I am sitting in my minion pj bottoms drinking from my new Starbucks cup, it is the 30th of December, and I have not yet celebrated the new year. However I have already tried on what I am going to wear, done my makeup, and my hair and taken some photos for the purpose of my blog and to let you know what I will be wearing and various other things I have done/will be doing in order to get ready for the New Years Party. This year I went for a bit of a black and nude/baby pink theme. (my bag is also baby pink but I forgot to take some photos of it so here's everything else.)

I painted my nails yesterday which means that the paint has had enough time to properly set on my nails. I used the models own hyper gel paint in the colour paradise pink. I then just added some nail art (incorporating the black to match my jumpsuit).

To curl my hair I just used my TRESemme Salon Multistylist wand (I have had this set for a very long time now and I really recommend it).

 

My jumpsuit is from new look (but about a year and a half ago, so not sure if its still for sale). My shoes are from Debenhams sales but originally from Nine West.

Christmas: gifts, treats, and tips

Its never too early for Christmas, even in early October everyone secretly has "I wish it could be Christmas everyday" ( I really do) on shuffle. No? Just me then. Anyway seeing as it is the beginning of manic Christmas shopping and rushed gift buying season then I thought I'd give you heads up on gifts that won't cost a penny and take matters of minutes! And if you enjoy this please check out my video on Christmas Treats.

 

 

This is easy just grab an old jar,fill it with mini marshmallows, add a cute ribbon, and maybe a label saying snowman poop. Easy as that, you could even do on Christmas day its so quick!

 

Just like the "snowman poop" grab a jar, put some malteasers, put a few red m&m's scatter about inside, add a red ribbon, and call it "Rudolf Noses"




 


This one is a little trickier, but just take some clear film wrap and place in: hot chocolate powder, mini marshmallows, m&m's add a ribbon. There you have a "hot chocolate making kit", just add milk and hot water.

 

 To make a cake in a mug just mix together: 4 tbsp self raising flour

                                                                  2 tbsp cocoa powder
                                                               4 tbsp caster sugar
                                                   3 tbsp milk
                                                        1 medium egg
                                                                                 3 tbsp vegetable/sunflower oil
                                                                    1/2 tsp vanilla essence
                                                                    2 tbsp chocolate chips
And pop into the microwave for 3-4 mins on the highest setting, to give this gift you could either put it into the fridge and give it as a cake. Or you could place all of the non-liquids into a clear film wrap put it inside a cute mug.

 



Except,use a big mug because otherwise this happens.

How to: Halloween Party

Earlier this week I had such a good time with my friends as I hosted a Halloween Party it was so fun decorating my home, making food, and generally just having a great party. So I wanted to share it with you.

This was my main treat buffet table. I found the table cloth in Aldi for really cheap.

You cant throw a Halloween party without having some white chocolate raspberry ghosts!

 

These are cake pops with milk chocolate and sprinkles with cola laces for legs.

 






These are just white chocolate (with orange food diy) krispie cakes with chocolate finger for little pumpkins.

 

We already had a skull mould and just filled it with homemade vanilla cake mixture coloured with black food diy. And then used the mould as a guideline to draw on the white  icing, then added some raspberry coulis as blood. 

 
 

We unwrapped a few mini rolls using icing to stick on wings, eyes, and fang detailing to create these really cute bats.

 

Here's just a snippet of decoration ( I didn't take many photos) I bought the webbing, lights, paper pumpkin bags, and tea lights from Poundland but I made the "BOO" myself.

 
 
 


We just made some chicken sand-"witches" and added blue and green food diy to make them look mouldy.

 
 



We made this "cut off hand" using an old washing up glove with water and blue food diy and put it in the freezer overnight.



This is cranberry juice and soda with edible glitter. "Bats blood".

Other things that I did was added black food colouring just to water, and orange food colouring to orange squash for "pumpkin juice". And then we played games like pin the wart on the witch, a treasure hunt, and trying to cute the chocolate with a knife and fork wearing scarf and gloves. The main thing is that it is a bit of a laugh and if you add some music that will be the best party.

Walking behind Waterfalls

Now because it is the end of September you are probably expecting a back to school, or stationery for school blog post. However you are probably sick of watching school related videos/blog posts as I know I certainly don't even want to be at school let alone be reminded of it. Therefore I am going to give you a collection of pictures from when I walked behind a waterfall a couple of weeks ago. Hope you enjoy x

A nice little picture of a Beetle (which we named Barry)

 Lots of love

You should try it!

Recently I decide that I would try really hard to exercise every sinhgle day over the summer. And I actually stuck to it, which I'm so proud about, so I thought I would blog about it. I'm not really one of those people that exercises all the time or has a general exercise regime. But over the summer I have just been exercising whenever I have time. For instance; because running doesn't really come naturally to me so someone told me that if I run for 90 seconds and then walk for 30 seconds (it is called interval training) I will run for a longer distance (I really recommend it). I also love to go on bike rides, which helps a lot with my core for dance. And roller-skating is also a great way to build leg muscles but you don't realise you are actually exercising. My roller-skates really motivate me because well, look at them!

 

Not quite a professional :-/ but I enjoy it and that is the main thing. So if you want to try go for it the only person stopping you is yourself!

 

Another great tip is to make sure you drink lots of water. So to help me get my 2 litres of water/clear fluid a day; whenever I am thirsty (or even when your not, always have a drink with you) I will always take a pint or/ bigger glass than what I wanted. Also if you put ice or pieces of fruit into the water it may help to motivate you drinking more! Water is great for you system but is amazing for your complexion.

 

hope you feel inspired and if you don't and just enjoyed reading this I am happy for you also, if you want more of me please follow me on bloglovin'.

 

lots of love

Happy Holidays- essentials, tips, treats, and lots more

So happy summer holiday to everyone who lives in England, and to everyone in America I am incredibly jealous that you have a whole 2-3 months off. Compared to our mere 7 weeks (which I thought was long!) that is very lucky. So anyway seeing as it is finally summer I thought I would share with you some tips, tricks, essentials, and lots more.
 

 

 MAC eyeshadow- swish (pink) jest (champagne)
Models Own- Kohl white eyeliner
BarryM- Neon pink Dazzle Dust
Rimmel London-Fix and Perfect Pro Primer
Models Own- Lipgloss ( cant find the name, sorry)

*tip- if you use MAC swish eyeshadow as a base all over the lid, and then using an angle brush put BarryM's Neon Pink dazzle dust in the crease. 

Salt spray is great for the summer because it looks like you have tried really hard to get beach waves however they are actually effortless (shhh!), my pleasure.

 And of course you have to use suncream, but you don't want the hassle of rubbing horrible, greasy, sticky mess which only dries about 2 hours after you have put it on. This is the answer Nivea Sun, protect and refresh. Use the spray all over your body this takes less than a minute and then your are ready to go. And personally I prefer to use the cream on my face because it leaves a more matte finish.
*tip- if you like to wear makeup in the summer use the spray on your face which not only stops you from burning but also sets your makeup a bit more.

 I love to have a body spray in my bag over the summer because it refreshes you but also makes you smell delicious! I love all Impulse body sprays but this is my favourite for summer time because it is really sweet (duh,clues in the name!)

 And then you cannot forget a bikini or some sort of swimwear, for this summer I went for a Topshop high waisted simple black bikini. I bought a simple one so that I could wear it with my colourful floral kimono but I did also buy a patterned blue swimsuit!
*tip- if you want to wear a bikini but are a bit self conscious buy a high waisted one as it shows a bit of skin without being to revealing therefore making you feel more confident (and confidence= happiness!)

I hope you enjoyed my post for summer please let me now where you are going on holiday this time, and if you have any tips or advice you want to share. Also I wanted you to vote whether I should show my face or keep this blog anonymous so the poll is at the top I will be happy to listen to your views aswell if you want to tell me more just comment down below. Anyway thank you!

Lots of Love

DIY Pom Pom Garland

So today I thought I would do something a little bit different. I was looking on Pinterest the other day and came across this idea, I thought I would share it with you guys just because I loved it so much.

Wrap thick wool around an old fork aprox. 90 times around and then tie it together with an extra piece of wool make sure that is secure. Once you have done that then start cutting the wool that is looped over it will look like this.

 I tried this technique with lots of different coloured wool and it looks great, my favourite part is that it actually looks really authentic with a homemade vibe to it aswell. Hope you love it as much as I do!

My Favourite Fragrances

Hi again, today I thought I would share with you some of my favourite fragrances. In my march favourites I talked about the soap and glory body sprays, which would also be in the post however I already spoke about them therefore it would be slightly pointless! Also these are only some of my favourites so if you want more please do comment down below.

 its funny because you are probably tilting your head right now!(I couldn't rotate it). The four 'so...' products are from the clothes show last year and I got the daisy eau fresh for Christmas.

 I really like this range because if you really like one of their products you not only have it as a deodorant but as a perfume too. This one has quite a musky undertone but when first sprayed smells floral. Would be nicer for going out and the name makes me want to make more of an effort (so exclusive).

 The so sinful scents for me were better during the day time as they were fresher than so exclusive scents but more sweet as apposed to floral. It still had a bit of sharper undertone though so you could probably wear it for going out aswell.

 I couldn't resist picking two photos out for this one, I feel like the packaging drew me to it quicker than any of the others as it's more prettier. And personally I think the name sums how it smells up perfectly it is simply just really fresh, but a little goes a long way. In the box with the perfume u also get a refill jar (which would be great for travelling) and a tiny rose gold filter which is so cute! I wear this day and night most often, however I think it will be really good for my holidays aswell.
