Home Project :)

Hey Guys!!!

So as you can tell from the title I have given myself a Home Project to complete next year :)

The room I am going to be doing is our bedroom, because as much as I love the red but it is starting to look dated and very dark and dingy now the winter is kicking in, so my idea is to decorate it and brighten it and try open up the space as it is only a small room.

My idea is that I'm going to have a feature wall which is going to be a blue, floral wallpaper which looks quite vintage :) This particular wallpaper you can get from HERE

Then I am going to paint the other three walls a Duck Egg Blue to match the wallpaper :) but first I will be wallpapering the walls with a white textured wallpaper so that it has a bit of a pattern to it, as I don't want it to be just plain. You can get the paint from HERE & the wallpaper from HERE

So then once all the walls are done and of course once I have glossed all the skirting boards & doors and also once I have painted the ceiling, I want to replace the pine furniture that we already have with white pine furniture. I'm either going to replace each piece individually or I will look at getting a bedroom set a bit like this one HERE and then last of all with the furniture I will replace our bed with either a white wooden bed or metal bed.

Then of course once all that is completed I will then get accessories like new bedding, bed throws, pillows, new curtains, etc. I'm going to look at getting little LED lights in white to go around the headboard of whatever bed we get which I think will set it off just right :)

So this is exactly why I have given myself a year to do it as I obviously need that magical thing called money to do it ha ha and also even though it is only a small room it is a big job to do, I will more than likely have help from my Mum and obviously Llewellyn will give me a hand with the places I can't reach as that's the disadvantage of being short.

I will take some pictures tomorrow of our bedroom now so you can see what its like now, I will apologise now as it isn't the best of decorating I must admit.

Well I hope you have enjoyed this post and if anyone has suggestions on where I can get different accessories, etc.

Hope You're All Having A Good Monday!!! See You Soon!!!

*UPDATE*

Hey Guys!!!

So I said I would put pictures up of my room at the moment and here they are :)

So obviously the top picture is the wallpaper at the moment and that will be the wall that I put the floral wallpaper on, so will be the feature wall. Then the next 3 pictures are the walls that will be papering with white wallpaper and painting Duck Egg Blue.

Hope You're All Having A Good Week So Far!!! See You Soon!!!

Outfit Of The Day: 12th Oct x

Hey Guys!!!

So in my previous post I showed you a glam outfit with my peplum top, so now I'm now going to show you it in a casual look :)

Cardigan: Peacocks; Top: George @ Asda; Jeggings: Peacocks

Today we were off to our town centre so wanted to wear something casual yet smart :) So I wore this grey, knit cardigan, it is actually supposed to be for men but I thought it looked really nice and got it for myself :) My top you seen in my previous post so it does smarten up this outfit. My jeggings I had for my birthday one year and are great for general wear and glam wear. This are denim and are lovely for the Autumn weather :)

Shoes: Studio

These shoes I bought for last Autumn/Winter as they are perfect for this weather as long as its not pouring with rain. These are suede with cotton cuffs, they may not be cotton but not 100% what material, they feel cotton though. These are wedged so give me a bit of height and they are really comfortable to wear :)

Well guys I hope you enjoyed this post and I will post another in the next few days :)

Hope You're Enjoying Your Weekend!!! See You Soon xx

Outfit Of The Day: 11th Oct x

Hey Guys!!!

So last night me and the husband went out with some of our friends for some food and drinks, so obviously it took me ages to choose an outfit, probably a week haha I wanted to wear something smart yet glam and this what I came up with :)

Blazer: Peacocks; Top: George @ Asda; Skirt: BooHoo; Tights: Tesco

I actually didn't buy anything new for this outfit!!! Oh wait yes I did, the tights as I didn't have black tights ha ha So my Blazer I had as an Easter present from Llewellyn about 2 years ago and absolutely love it. The lining of this Blazer is white with a thin, blue stripe, this particular one was from Peacocks. My top is peplum style and is great for general wear and occasion wear. This is from George @ Asda and was £8 so can't go wrong for that as it is quite thick anyway but is also lined. My skirt is a bodycon skirt and is such a lovely skirt to wear, I've also had this for a while. Then my tights are black, opaque and are glossy, I got these from Tesco as a pack of 3 and were only £3.50 :)

Shoes: Deichmann

My shoes I have had for a little while and are so comfortable. These were from Deichmann and were roughly £20 I think but not 100%. They are black, suede and have red bottoms to them and are lace ups.

I hope you all enjoyed this post and look forward to my next post :)

Hope You're Having A Good Weekend!!! See You Soon xx

Outfit Of The Day: 5th Oct x

Hey Guys!!!

So me and Llewellyn (my husband) went on a double date night with my Mum and Dad last night (posted this on the 6th) to see a band called All Else Fails that played all different types of rock music, like Guns and Roses, Bryan Adams, Foo Fighters and all different songs.

So this was my outfit that I wore :)

Checked Shirt: George @ Asda Top: Primark Leggings: Topshop

So I thought I would go for a casual yet glam look and also it looked a bit rocky. My checked shirt is from George @ Asda and is lovely and warm, also surprisingly it is quite thick :) My Guns N Roses top I got from Primark for my honeymoon and I absolutely love this top, I do wear it quite a lot. Then the leggings are wet look so they add a bit of glam to the outfit, now these were actually off a friend as she bought them but they were to small because of the way they were made as they are a bigger size to what I normally get :)

 

 

So my shoes are just normal black suede heels, the heel is approximately 4 inches and that is the normal height I usually go for. I got these from Primark for a night out a while ago, but I'm sure they were about £12 so can't go wrong for that. I apologise the angle of the photo isn't great :)

 

Well I hope you have enjoyed this post and that you like the outfit :)

 

Hope You're Having A Good Weekend!!! See You Soon xx

Halloween Cupcakes :)

Hey Guys!!!

So for one of my weekly videos I do on YouTube, we decided to do Halloween Cupcakes & Halloween Cookies (The cookies are on my sisters blog) so I thought I would do a blog entry on it, to show you step by step how we done it. You can also check out the video HERE :) I do apologise that it is a long video but I hope you enjoy it :) Also check out the recipe that I used HERE :)

All Ingredients Were Purchased From Tesco

These Were The Decorations I Used

So I had gone shopping to Tesco in the week to get all the ingredients, what is not pictured is the milk as it is in the fridge, which we used semi-skimmed milk, as it doesn't specify which milk to use in the recipe.




So also I got these sweets to use to decorate them with and also got little rice paper decorations to put on them :)




So the first thing I did was put the Caster Sugar, Self-Raising Flour and Milk in the bowl and mixed it together and then measured out the butter added it to the mix and mixed that all together :)



Milk, Self-Raising Flour & Caster Sugar

Butter

So then I added 2 Free Range Eggs and mixed all that together to make the cake mix and then added Vanilla Extract :)

 

 

We then spooned the mix into the cupcake cases, we put to spoons into each and with the mix we managed to make 15 cupcakes :)

 So we baked the cupcakes in a Halogen Oven and they only took about 15 minutes maybe a little longer :)

 

 



So then while the cupcakes were cooling we made the buttercream icing, which the ingredients were Icing Sugar, Butter & Milk, then of course you put whatever colour food colouring in you want :)

 

So then once we'd made the icing we proceeded to decorate them with the sweets and rice paper :) We done 6 cupcakes with the rice paper, then done 3 each of a cat, spider and monster :)

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed this blog post as its a bit different from what I have previously posted and also if you have made any or are going to make any Halloween cupcakes show me your pictures :)

 

Hope You're All Having A Good Weekend!!! See You Soon xx

Hairstyle: What To Have Done?

Hey Guys!!!

Thought I would do a quick update :)

I have finally decided that I am going to have my hair cut because as much as I love my long hair, I feel it is way to long now and I could do with a refreshing new look.

I know I am cutting it just below my shoulders so at least I can still curl it and style it, but I don't really know whether to have some shaping to it or whether to have a nice side fringe cut in. The problem with me having a fringe is that I have a 'cows lick' which sticks out about an inch when I have a fringe so I'm undecided about that, plus that's why I grew my fringe out in the first place haha

Anyway there will be before and after pictures tomorrow once I have had it done :)

So I hope you are all having a good day :) See you tomorrow :)

*UPDATE*

Hey guys just updating you with how I had my hair cut. So I had a lot of the length cut off, so its now just below my shoulders and I have had layers cut in as well. I must admit I love it as its still a decent length for me to style it and put it up in a pony for work :)

The picture isn't great but I will put a decent pic up when I get chance and also sorry to update late but I wanted to wash and straighten it so it looked nice in the pic :)

What's In My Shower Bag?

Hey Guys!!!

Hope you're all ok and enjoying your week so far :)

So I was sat here thinking what have I not seen yet, as we've seen What's In My Handbag? & What's In My Makeup Bag? tags but what about What's In My Shower Bag? So here we go, here is what is in my shower bag :)

So my shower bag I got because I needed a new shower bag for my honeymoon :) I seen this in Primark and fell in love with it as I loved the pattern and the colours, I also loved the size as I tend to use quite a lot of products when I'm away and just in general :) This particular one was £4 and I happen to have the matching makeup bag :) which you will see soon :)

So first off I just have my usual Eeyore flannel that I always use for holidays and have had it for years (don't worry it does get washed) so I'm not sure where its from. Then I have my contact lenses for when I want to wear them, which is not very often haha Of course I have my toothbrush holder which keeps it clean and doesn't get any lotions etc. on it. Then a must have which are my replacement razor blades for when they need replacing :)

Then I have my self tanning mitt which I actually haven't used yet as (touch wood) my tan hasn't faded yet, but I don't use self tan, like Fake Bake, I use tinted moisturiser. I got this from Primark and I think it was about £1, so a total bargain :) I then also have my exfoliating gloves which I use in the shower, bath and when moisturising :) I love using these as my skin always feels gorgeous afterwards and I always feel extra clean after using them :)

These are the products that I use regularly and also the products I love :) So I will go from left to right so you know what I'm talking about :) So I have Herbal Essences Shampoo as this is the only product I can use on my hair as for some reason nothing else seems to work or clean my hair properly, so I always use this now :) the smell is also gorgeous when using this, so I always have nice smelling hair :)

Then I have Ted Baker Body Fragrance spray which I use for a little spritz when I'm about to go out or sometimes I do take it with me to freshen up through the day, the smell is absolutely divine and is, I would say, a bit floral and summery, so its definitely a good spray to use in the summer :)

I then have hair removal cream from Avon Cosmetics which I use for the tops of my legs as the tops of my legs tend to be sensitive to a razor so it is better for me to use a hair removal cream :)

I then use my tinted moisturiser which is Dove Summer Glow for Fair to Medium Skin which is fantastic, as I used it for my Wedding to give me a bit of colour and after about 2 uses it went quite dark, so I definitely recommend this for winter if you want to have a bit of colour or if you want to keep your tan going from a holiday :) It is a bit expensive but I managed to find it when it was on offer in Boots at £2.49 and luckily I had some Boots points and used them. I actually only started using this as my friends sister recommended it, so its definitely a must have in my eyes :)

Then last but not least my shower gel :) I am currently using Palmolives Naturals in Pampering Touch which has Coconut and Moisturising Milk :) It smells absolutely gorgeous and is rather silky compared to other shower gels that I have used. It definitely does what it says on the tin with the moisturising aspect as my skin feels so soft afterwards especially as I use my exfoliating gloves to wash with :) I can't actually remember where I got this but I think I got it while it was on offer as I bought 4 of them haha

Well I hope you have enjoyed finding out What's In My Shower Bag? and I invite any of you that reads this blog to have a go and let me know so I can see your post :)

Hope you all have a great day and will see you all soon :)
