END OF AN ERA!

Tuesday 21 January 2014
Aloha Beautiful People, this is just gonna bee a wee post today, sorry!

So I'm basically just going to tell you that I have just finished my singing lessons! I had an amazing teacher, she was called Tara Mathew, you may know her, she's had a few singles released, she's amazing at singing! Seriously! I had my lessons for over a year and a half

I'm really annoyed now, whilst writing this, the computer spazzed, and now I have to re-write everything! DAYUM!

One of the reasons I decided to quit was because I'm failing school at the moment, although thats most probably to do with my lack of concentration, I have the concentration span off a giggly toddler, no exaggeration. Also the fact that I tend to blog whenever possible... Yeah, I now see why I'm failing school... Great! Don't worry, I'm not planning on stopping blogging any time soon... Promise!

Yeah, Back on track! See what I mean now?! Tara has helped me with SO much, she's extended my available range by miles, and my confidence has boosted too! I feel as though I could get up tomorrow, and perform to thousands, unless it was people I know, that's a no go area me thinks.

A few years ago, I had a solo and we had to perform to the school, and all my friends, I managed to stutter a few lines, and then I burst into tears, all facts! My friends still take the pick out of me now!

Although I'm technically (better range, able to hold notes longer etc...) I still sound like a drowned rat, and am so sorry to any of you that will hear me sing, whether it's in the past, or in the future!

Another reason I felt the need to quit, was to do with my Duke Of Edinburgh Award I'm currently under going the Bronze Award, and had completed the desired three month period! I'm also going to the gym for the Physical Section and i have no idea what I'm doing for the Volunteering Section! I HAVE NO TIME!!!

I now realise that this post is starting to become a lot like that first post of our, oh, the joys... If you could die of humiliation, I'd be gone a long time ago! Sorry to all of you that have read that post, also a big thankyou to all of you that read that post, that would mean one of two things: a) You've been here from the start, ot b) you went through and have read all of our posts!

So this is all I'm going to bore you with for today!

Bu-byee!

MY FAVOURITE BLOGS!

Sunday 19 January 2014
Aloha Beautiful People! So I seem to have the bloggers block, is that a thing? Well, it is now! So I searched the Internet for inspiration for posts! I'd like to think this was a beauty blog, but it seems to just be a bit of everything these days! favourite

I came across this site:Floral and Freckled that link will take you to the inspiring post! It's 20 post ideas for beauty bloggers, perfect I thought! Number four is to tell you guys about my fave blogs at the moment... Here goes nothing!

The Beauty Department- This is a beauty blog, and they post daily! They give me LOADS of inspiration for makeup, nails and hair! They have done a post on pretty much everything beauty related under the sun! They even taught me how to wash my makeup brushes! They're just amazing and would totally recommend to anyone, especially a beauty novice like myself!

Zoella - Now, Zoe doesn't post very often, and I don't mind that, she also has a YouTube account which is also fabby! She posts about almost anything... She has hair posts, life posts, fashion posts! She started her career on her blog and she is what inspired us to start blogging! She is now very successful, so, it cant be that bad, can it?

Sprnkle Of Glitter - This ones a lil bit different, she also does baby posts, don't get the wrong idea, I'm 14, so not ready to even think about the idea.. But I just really enjoy reading her baby posts, as well as all her other posts! She is also a very active blogger, which I love! She also has a YouTube!

Tanya Burr - This is another one that also does YouTube! She is a makeup artist and is starting to post more regularly, which is fab! She does lifestyle posts as well as fashion and makeup and she is who has inspired me to train as a makeup artist!

So these have been my top blogs! What have yours been? I also just want to thank the blog that gave me this idea, not that she'll see it, she's probably a famous blogger... Ah well, we can dream!

WE GOT TO 1.5K!!! This is amazing, and we just want to say a huge thankyou, around a month ago we hit 1k! Hopefully we can carry on the 0.5k-a-month trend! It just makes us so happy to know we're not just writing, that people are actually reading this! So, just thanks! We love you all! A LOT!

DECEMBER FAVOURITES!

Thursday 16 January 2014
Aloha beautiful people! It's December faves time! (cue for cheers). I don't really know what else to introduce it by? Let's just start!

AMY:

Beauty:

Clearasil Perfecta Wash - I've been buzzing about this to EVERYONE! Its so cool! Its basically a face wash/cleanser, and its in a machine, and its automatic! And awesome! I love it! It does dispense the 'perfect amount' of face wash and works in removing your makeup, it also says that its 'daily clear' I'm assuming that means that it fights break outs? Or clears skin? I'm not exactly spot free, but I do have a significant amount of less spots! I still have quite a few though, I'm not saying this thing is a miracle worker! Haha! When I googled this, it said it was around the £12 mark, but I got mine for £3! WITH BATTERIES! The refills are £2! That comes with 100 doses! BARGAIN! That was from Savers, branch here in the UK (at least, I think its only in UK...)

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - I had heard loads of great things from loads of my beauty guru's, and then Megan bought it, so I used it a few times off of her, and I liked it then! I was in dire need of a powder anyway, as I have oily skin, and the foundation I was using was only a cheap one, so it was very shiny too, that didn't help matters, since I've bought this, it had transformed my face, no over exaggeration, and it lasts five hours too! I'm so so SO pleased with this buy! When I bought this all of the Translucent was gone, so I bought mine in 03Peach Glow, its still so good, and doesn't make that much difference to my skin tone either! Definite buy, so affordable too! Only £4! BUY NOW!

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - Yes, more Rimmel, in fact they had a 3 for 2 on Rimmel in Boots, how could I resist? This was also one that I had heard from Beauty Guru's of mine, and also, I had it about a year ago, so I already knew I liked it! It was just a matter of rekindling that love! This foundation is great, it doesn't cake, and stays put! Great! The only fault was that the colours aren't too great, last time I had this, I got the Light Porcelain, and that was FAR too light, white almost, so I bought the shade up True Ivory, and its a wee bit too warm me thinks! But this is a definite for any makeup bag! As its drug store makeup, its cheap! So good for a budget makeup wearer (like me, I'm always skint) but I also remember Tanya Burr saying that it was similar Nars Sheer Glow, so maybe even perfect for you High End people! Buy, Buy, BUY!

Food:

Mince Pies - These were my life, and probably a total Cliche for a December Favourites post, but seriously! So yummy! If you know me, you will know that I eat A LOT, and these were no exception! In fact, I've been told that while people eat, they think of me, hm... A lot of people don't like them WHY?! But I like dried fruit, especially dried apricots, I don't know why I'm talking about dried apricots now, as I don't even think they're in Mince Pies? Okay I'll shut up now!

Film:

Pretty In Pink - this is an 80's film and it just great, I first watched it in December and I like fell in love with it, omg. Its just amazing, if you haven't watched it, watch it. I like those sort of films anyway, and I like the old films: Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman etc... Ermagherrd, it's so good!

MEGAN:

Beauty:

Lancome Hydrogen Moisturiser - During December I had only one beauty favourite and that is the French make up band, Lancome's, highly recommended moisturiser - Hydrogen! I can safely say it is the best moisturiser i have ever tried out, it absorbs easily, you don't need too much and it keeps your skin looking healthy and feeling healthy.

Food:

Cheese - This one's a bit weird, but for some unknown reason, over Christmas, I ate so much cheese! I especially like Blacksticks Blue. Cheese is great with grapes, apples, crackers or even just bread! Mmmm.

Film:

Elf - DUH! If you haven't watched this film then i suggest that you go and watch it right this minute as it is, without a doubt, the best Christmas film I have ever watched! It's hilarious, unique and good for the whole family! The storyline is unlike any other, and, above all, it's super Christmassy! I enjoyed sitting down in the evening with the Christmas tree lights and a nice cup of mulled wine and watching Elf - can you think of anything better?!

So that's the end of our december favourites - what are some of the things that you enjoyed during December? Tell us in the comments!

CHRISTMAS SALES HAUL!

Sunday 12 January 2014
Aloha beautiful people!

I absolutely love the fact that after Christmas there are huge sales in EVERY store! I take full  advantage of this! I'm at that age where no body really knows what to buy you, and as I don't see very much of most of my family I tend to just get money or vouchers, so the sales are perfect!

So today, this post is just going to be about what I have bought! I'm really excited about some of these items too!



This is a plain white T shirt from Primark but it's been pressed so it has a pattern across it! It's really cute and I've had my eye on it for a few months, so I decided to buy it! Oh, the joys of Christmas! It was only £5! BARGAINOUS!


This can only be described as 'beetle-like' 'cause as you can see, it is multi coloured, like beetles! I'm so clever, I should totes get a nobel prize or something, watch out Steven Hawkins, is that how you spell it? Anyway, this was half price at an amazing price of just £3 from Newlook!


Oooh, I wonder what these are? TISSUES! I was all sniffly and had the dreadded cold, so I wanted a handy tissue cube, and when we were in Wilko, we saw these for 75p! So my Sister bought me a box! 3 ply! 


When I went to my Mum's stupidly, I only took my 'UGG' boots with me, so I decided to buy some more, and I came across these, I just thought they were so cute, and a bargain, only £10! They were from Primark though, so the price probably reflects the time they will last... Ah well! enjoy it while it lasts!

I'm also going to use this picture for the socks, they're so cute! They were £4 from River Island!


I love this jumper, it's snug in all the tight places, and the perfect length, as I can ger it over my bum too! It goes with a lot too! As I'm writing this, I realised we were watching Catfish I love that show! Sorry, had to... Back to the jumper, It is an AX Paris one, bought in Newlook for only £15! YAY!


I love tartan scarves, and I was actually after a red one but I saw a little shop and inside everything was one or two pounds. So obviously, I had to buy it! TWO POUNDS!!! Megan gets annoyed at me when I go on about how cheap it is... woops!


I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks, and I needed a dress! I have Newlook vouchers, so I searched there, I had been on the website previous, and found a really pretty one, but just my luck, it wasn't in store... Yay. But then I came across this one, an was similar to another I had seen, so I chose it. I have to admit, I'm not certain on it... It's a bit late now though... Aparently it looks okay though, so all good! This might sound weird, but: it's longer than I expected. don't get me wrong, I didn't want a mini dress or anything! Haha. It was £14 from Newlook


This beautiful thing is one half of my amazing pair of shoes, Megan first intoduced me to these beauties and I've loved them ever since! They weren't the cheapest thing I've bought, coming in at £35, but I don't care, I love them lots and lots! My family don't like them, but I don't care, I love them lots! They were from River Island!


I've never tried magnetic nail polish before and wanted to give it a go! It's a bluey-grey colour and is sparkly! It was only a pound! Which is a lot cheaper than anywhere else on the market! It's from poundland, I love poundland, 'cause they sell loads of good brands! Brilliant!

I also have a coat, hopefully arriving soon! I have bought more, but it's all just food, and other things that I can't for the life of me remember! Tell me, do you like my shoes?

REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH! YAY! I have been given the Expert face brush from Megan and I'm SO happy! I love it so much it's unreal, so thank you Megannnnnnn!!!

LA VIE EST BELLE! This has to be the nicest perfume I have EVER laid my nose upon, it's a Lancome one and it has a beautiful bottle, and it's just amazing, I had the 30ml bottle, and a mini 5ml bottle, it's so cute! This isn't necessarily a winter fragrance but I don't care, I love it! Thanks Mummy!!!

FAIRY LIGHTS! I have literally just put these up and they're adorable! They have six different effects: on, flicker, alternates, flash, chase, gradual and crazy! They are also from my Mummy! THANKYOUU!

Mind that mess! Haha!
LED TEA LIGHTS! I got five of these unwrapped at the bottom of my stocking, so when I tipped it I was so happy! I'm not allowed normal candles 'cause apparently I'll burn the house down, pfft. Thanks Santa! ;)
MIDNIGHT MEMORIES! As you are all fully aware of now, I love One Direction, and I got the Midnight Memories CD for Christmas and I. LOVE. IT. It's topped the other albums, and has that extra bit of edge, which I love! Highly recommend this album! THANKS MUMMY!
So there you have it, my top five gifts, I expect most of you got the new XBOX or iPhone, but tell us anyway what your favourite gift(s) is!
