Emily's Blog

Hello everyone!
I saw my friend Briony had quite recently posted the 'Summer tag' so I thought I'd do it as well :)



1. What's your favourite thing about summer?

I love just relaxing, bbqs and just hanging out with friends and family

 2. Do you have a favourite summer drink?

I love crushed berry and lime Bulmers. But I also love orange soda :)

 3. Is there a location you like to go to each summer?

No, when we go abroad myself and my family go to a different place most of the time. In the UK though I enjoy going to Clevedon, Weston-Super-Mare, Yorkshire and Wales

 4. Favourite make up look for summer?

Bright eye shadows, cat eye or just mascara  by itself (nice and natural), light coverage of foundation,  concealer, bronzer and blusher and a brightly coloured lipstick sometimes

 5. Dresses or skirts?

Skirts probably

 6. Sandals or ballet pumps?

Sandals

7. Do you prefer to wear your hair up or down for summer?

Down and wavy or up in a high ponytail

 8. Deep smoky eyes or bold lips?

Bold lips for summer, defiantly

 9. Favourite perfume for summer?

DKNY Be Delicious eau de Parfum

 10. Last but not least, favourite music for summer?

Oh god, I don't know! Anything upbeat really. Specific artists/bands: Calvin Harris, Bastille, Lily Allen, Disclosure, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Rihanna, Iggy, Macklemore and Katy Perry.

 I tag any of you to do it :)

Finally... THE SMELL. I literally cannot get over how good this lip-gloss smells. It smells of sweets, which is obviously such a lovely smell which loads of girls love. I could quite happily sit down and smell the lip-gloss for ages. It's by far the best smelling makeup product I have ever owned. (2nd is Bourjois' healthy mix serum).



To summarise... this is a great affordable product which I'd recommend to anyone. It is one of my favourite lip products I have owned and I haven't had it for long at all... so that's got to be good, right?!

PS... I just want to say well done to Tanya on making such lovely products and good luck with your makeup line and the future (inc. your YouTube channel of course!) I can't wait for more products. I also will defiantly be purchasing a nail polish soon and more lip-glosses as ALL the shades are gorgeous (and have super cute and creative names).

Hello everyone! On Saturday our new puppy came home! We (myself, my mum, dad and sister) went over to Wales 3 weeks ago to see her and decided then that we would get her. Her full name, given by the Dog breeders, is 'Curly Wurly' and we decided to keep the name as we think it is very cute and it really suits her. She has settled in very well and has been very good (and slightly cheeky and of course playful!) She slept around 6 hours last night, which is amazing. You'll be able to see why they named her 'Curly' Wurly by the images I have inserted below:
(This is basically going to be a picture post!)



                                                      
     


          

Hello!
This blog post is going to be about what makeup I wear on a normal day, like going to school etc. The post is going to be quite photo heavy, but I am going to list and link the products so you know how much they are etc and briefly describe what I am doing in each photo.

Products I use:

• Bourjois healthy mix serum in light vanilla (51)
• Soap and Glory 'thick and fast' mascara
• Benefit 'they're real' mascara
• POREfessional by Benefit

Face

Eyes 

                        
Also... today I attempted the Milkmaid braid after watching +Zoella's video on it. It didn't turn out great (oh well, practice makes perfect!) but I did really like it all the same.

Hello guys! I was tagged to do the 'Very Inspiring blogger award' by Briony - thank you!

Love, Emily x 

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be talking about a life changing trip I will be going on in just over a year.
We had an assembly quite a few months ago about this thing called 'World Challenge'. People who work for the business came in and talked to us about it, and as it sounded quite interesting and fun I grabbed a leaflet at the end of the assembly. I then later made the decision that I would defiantly go, even though none of my friends from my school were going... I decided to be brave ha ha! Turns out I did know someone going, and now I have met other people who seem nice too. So that's good!

What exactly is 'World Challenge'?

World Challenge is an organisation that has been running for over 25 years. They offer life changing and amazing trips for schools, which will help you gain many useful and valuable life skills. Also teenagers will gain greater knowledge on different cultures.

On the trip, which is for 1 month, we will be doing various things such as helping out in a town and in a school (I think) and we will help redecorate and teach the children some basic English or do a little music lesson! We will also be climbing a very tall mountain, which will take us 2 days. We will be doing a PADI diving course and turtle conservation - which I think will be SO cute. We get a few days of relaxation time in between most activities as well, so we can go sightseeing, shopping and go to the beaches - which look am a zing. We will be sleeping in tents, hostels and on hammocks in the rainforest, which will be quite scary but fun!
Although there are teachers and leaders coming on the trip, they're leaving everything down to us once we get there, so we'll be organising everything and buying the food we need etc.



At the end of the trip I think everyone will be so much more independent, have more social skills and would have learnt tonnes of other great skills. I think it will be a very challenging, but amazing and rewarding experience!
