'It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...'

Ho ho ho, and welcome back to my blog!

Phew! December is going past in a blink! I am soooo ready for Christmas! :)

Put your Christmas tree up? Check. In the process of eating Advent calender chocolates? Check. Wishlist sent off to 'Santa'? Check. Oh yes, indeed I am getting into the festive mood! ;)

Christmas day for me will be awesome. Early morning will be Present time ( I asked for Zoella's beauty range), then off to a close friends house for fun and games and food. Then heading back home for dreaming about what I will buy at Lush on their Boxing Day sale. I am rather looking forward to it! ;)

This week, as I am involved in our schools singers' club, I had to perform our carol not one, not two, but three times to our school and parents. I guess you could say I am losing my voice slightly..  :/

Missing my best friend too, who has managed to bunk off school and disappear to India (miss you, Kit Kat). I envy her.

So, have you guys been watching #24DaysOfZoella ?? By golly, I have. And there is nothing quite like it. #Vlogmas has been fun to watch too. Double Zoe everyday. *content sigh*



I am afraid I have to round it off here, sorry for disappearing for so long and coming back with such a short post. 

Comment about your Christmas and tell me whether you are looking forward to it or not. If you don't celebrate, comment anyway. I like reading random things. ;)

Fun Times With Your Loved Ones!!

Hiiiii Guys,

You might think it is weird I am doing so many post all of a sudden, but there is a lot happening which I think should be blogged about. 
First of all, my dear best friend came round. We had bucketfuls, no, swimming pools, of fun!! Here is what we did in a simple list. ;)

1. First we played with my cute pet gerbils, I will include a pic here. 

   

   My adorbz gerbz. Snowy (right) and Sandy (left). How do you like them? Let me know in the comments!

2. Next, we went up to my room and did blind makeovers. Not a good idea. Well, it probably was because we laughed so much our jaws ached from laughter, but we ended up looking like idiots. Who cares though. (Our parents.) I would include pics but can't because of anonymity.
3. We removed the (dreadful) makeup, and gave each other proper makeovers. I did well on her, but the eyelashes kinda ruined it.(If you are reading this, best friend, sorry. :P) Oh well. She did my makeup too, and the eyeliner started looking like a tadpole's tail. I stole the eyeliner halfway through and coloured my lips in with it. At least it made my teeth look white. We took hundreds of manic selfies. I looked half demented, because I also drew a smiley face on my nose. she looked okay, but I made silly faces. A 45 minutes of my life well spent.
4. We again removed the makeup, and started choreographing a dance to Jess Glyne's 'Hold My Hand'. We tried multiple times to record it successfully, unsuccessfully. I kept messing up the moves (accidentally on purpose) and she just generally started being silly at the end. Fun though. And hilarious. We laughed until that crying-laughing, snorting, stomach-cramping, jaw-aching  stage. Golden times.
5. We then had a heart to heart conversation about people we generally don't like, and a few moan and groans about our lives. I then let out my biggest secret, one I hadn't told anyone. I now trust you, dear friend (if you are reading this) to keep this. OR ELSE!

Follow to stay tuned!

Love from an excited

Making Your Room Pretty!

Hello and welcome back to my blog,

Sorry I haven't done a post in absolutely ages..! A lot has happened since the last time I wrote a blog post. One especially major thing is that.. I have moved house. Not all the way to Australia, I assure you. Yep, I am still in the UK. But then again, I still moved house. And it was hectic. And tiring. Anyway, forget about what I am going on about. Let's have some fun. You know where I am heading...FOR THE BEDROOM! Now, here's some ideas on prettifying your bedroom! 

If you share a room, ask the other person(s) for permission if you can alter up the room. This is important. You do NOT want your head dunked into a pot of light purple halfway through painting the walls. So take my advice.

1. Your Walls.
There are a lot of the things you can do to a room, but the most obvious thing is the walls. Paint them, decorate them, wallpaper them, cover them in posters in Zoella, ( this obviously is not me..*cough cough*) yup, the possibilities are endless. (its a phrase, they aren't actually). The walls can TOTALLY transform an average room.

2. Lighting.
Now to tackle the lighting. This can completely change the atmosphere of your room. If you want a gentle glow, nothing too bright, go for a lamp. Or fairy lights, of course. (My entire room is covered in them, you can probably guess I love them. They are magical.) If you want a more steady, bright light, get a proper lightbulb and a nice light..design. If you know what I mean. (You probably don't, but oh well.)

3. Theme.
Now you have the essentials sorted out, its time for things to get fun around here! My current theme of bedroom is sky blue and white, (walls are blue, furniture is white, oh, and my fairy lights match it :P) but you can have it any colour(s) you want/need!! Yeah Baby! ;)

4. Bedding.
I quite like the idea of changing your bedding every season. For example, in Winter, Christmas bedding!! Oooohhhh yes! In Spring, flowers and cute animals like chicks and lambs and bunnies!!!!!!!! Ok, I should stop now, getting too excited haha.

5. Other Awesome Ideas.
I have a lot of them. A whiteboard, to remind to of important notices.(Like when my homework is due in :/ ) A selfie wall! Decorate a bit of your wall the best you can, and take selfies with it! YESSSS!!! If you're stuck, head on over to Pinterest and find some other ideas.


Thank you for reading this blog post, and if you do make changes to your room, upload it to Instagram with the hashtag #lifeallstarsroomideas I love seeing what you guys did!


Baiiii,

Happy Halloween!

Heya Guys,

Happy Halloween! Today is the 31st of October, and oh my I couldn't be more excited! 
How do you celebrate Halloween? Whether you be excitedly knocking on all the doors of your neighbourhood in the rampage to find sweets, or you sit quietly at home making Halloween Dubsmashes. Everyone deserves a bit of fun, especially on the spookiest night of the year! ( I go for a bit of everything, trick or treating, making Dubsmashes, and carving pumpkins the night before which results in pumpkin guts and seeds all over my hand.) What will you dress up as? I will be a corpse bride, with my 4 year old brother a dead pirate. Scary! 

Alternatively, if celebrating Halloween isn't for you, why not order in a pizza, invite some friends over, and watch a scary movie. My idea of a perfect night!


This is my pumpkin; I call it 'Bob the Pumpkin'.

(Ignore the Flora butter in the background)

Thanks for reading this blog post.


Enjoy Halloween, however you celebrate it!

A Small Christmas LUSH Haul!

Hey Everyone,

I feel a little guilty as I haven't written a post in a long time. Whoops :/  *awkward shoulder shrugging*
So I decided to come back with a post all about...you guessed it...LUSH!!

As a lot of people know, around now Lush releases their Christmas and Halloween product range. And oh me oh my, isn't it just absolutely FANTABULOUS! (LUSH-Lunatics will know what I am talking about here :P)  Products range from shower jellies to lip scrubs and bubble bars to bath bombs. This is a little what a LUSH shop would look around this time:
It is simply HEAVEN in a strongly scented cosmetics shop.

So of course, knowing myself, I simply HAD to pick out a few lovely things from the shop which is oh so popular.
This is what I got:


This bath bomb from LUSH is called So White. It looks boring, but, appearances can be deceiving...

Price: £3.65
Scent: LUSH describes it as a 'crisp apple fragrance' . It really is very lovely.
Amazing thing it does: In the middle it is a beautiful pastel pink, so it leaves the bath a beautiful light pink colour.


Candy Mountain is the name of this bubble bar. A Christmas classic for Lush.

Price: £2.95
Scent: It is described by LUSH as a 'comforting creamy candy mist'. The snowfairy smell LUSH is famous for.
Amazing thing it does: Turns the water pink and creates mounds of bubbles.
A lot of people's favourites is this one, Golden Wonder bath bomb.
Price: £3.95
Scent: Described as 'Cognac and zesty lime oils start a party of mood-brightening scents whilst sweet orange oil refreshes the senses' by LUSH. Refreshing and citrusy.
Amazing thing it does: It rattles! And inside it is turquoise and glittery.

So that is everything I bought from LUSH! My hands are aching now! 

Thank you for reading this 'haul' on what I bought from LUSH.

The Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set!

Hey Everyone:)
So today I wanted to review the Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set. I haven't actually done a review before, and since this set is one of my faves, I thought it would be nice to tell you what I think about it ;)




Price: Normally around £20 but I got this in a sale for £10.99 :)
Contents: Sale or not, I think this set is well worth the money. Individual Real Techniques brushes are around £10, so this is definitely a bargain. And it includes a 2 in 1 case/stand which is a plus;)
Quality: The brushes are of a high quality and standard, the bristles synthetic and cruelty free. And they are soooo soft!!

I will now talk about the brushes in detail and what i personally use each of them for;-)


Contour Brush: I really like this brush. I find it is the perfect size to contour the hollows of my cheek, and it is also lovely for setting under-eye concealer. You could also use this for blush and highlight. Overall this brush is really multi-taskable (is that even a word?) and I adore it:)

Buffing Brush: This is one of my fave brushes!! I use this to blend in liquid foundation and BB cream, and it blends very quickly, creates an even coverage, and makes me look flawless(which i am most definitely NOT). It is a rounded dome shaped brush, and again, soft. You can use this not only for foundation, but also powder foundation, blush, powder, really whatever suits you best. That is one of the best things about this brush range, you don't JUST have to use it for what is specified, but whatever you think it is best for :-)

Detailer Brush: Again this is a nice brush. I use this for a lip brush, it saves product and it is really precise. This brush is stiffer than the previous two, as is the Pointed Foundation Brush. You could also use this brush for concealing spots and redness. A useful brush;)

Pointed Foundation Brush: This is a brush i reach for often. I use this for under-eye concealer, but i find it is slightly too small for foundation around the entire face. This is probably the stiffest brush, so I would of kinda liked it softer. But an amazing brush all the same:)

So I hope you guys enjoyed my review on the Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set (urgghhh if i have to type that one more time!) Let me know in the comments if you want more reviews like this.



Lots of Love,

Picnic or Movie?

Nice to speak to you guys again,

We ( me, my dad, and my little bro) went to a nearby lake and had a picnic. That sounds REALLY boring. How about this? Today was the funnest day since ..umm... yesterday? We went to a nearby lake and had a delicious picnic! How delightful! We then had a lovely little stroll to stretch our legs. How exciting!!     (That was sarcastic, by the way)

I am actually looking forward to tonight. We are going to go and watch a film at the cinema, Home ( I'm not watching it! Well I am but it's mainly for my brother's entertainment), and I'm actually more excited about the popcorn/drinks/chocolate/nachos/other cinema junk food than I am about the actual film. Oh well.*sigh*

Yay ! I just watched Zoella's latest video (Whisper Challenge with Jim | Zoella   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SjXrTNMZDg   ) in case you Zoella lovers haven't already, go check it out! It's hilarious! 

Comment below what your favourite part was/who you're favourite YouTuber is ! I look 

forward to reading all your innermost secrets. *evil laugh MUAHAHAH*    Joke.

Hi, Everyone!

Hi World!

I can simply not express how happy I am to be talking to you guys:) I would like to introduce myself and this blog! My blog is going to be all about Life, Beauty, and My Thoughts and Feelings. I am a not sort of a confident girl who owns a pair of gerbils, Snowy and Sandy. I wil probably be talking about them quite a lot;) My favourite YouTuber is Zoella, as is she my favourite blogger, and I felt inspired to start a blog as well, and who knows, maybe I could be a well-established YouTuber and blogger as well..

---

My favourite colours are always changing( there’s too many colours to choose from!), but my current faves are purple and light blue:D I have a younger bro, who may well qualify for The Most Annoying Sibling In The World. Seriously though, who else has a younger or elder sibling who qualifies for that? Tell me in the comments:) My fave food is probably fish ‘n’ chips, which is a British food in case you don’t know, and I myself am British:)

---

I will probably be uploading posts whenever I want, but I will try do upload at least every week. So stay tuned !

I hope you enjoy reading my blogs in the future, till then..

Bye,
