Hey Guys x I don't usually post on a Wednesday, but I have a lot of posts that I'm excited about going up in the next two weeks, and as I cleaned my brushes today, I thought I'd just put this up now! This is also a weird post because I don't usually do beauty related posts, but I definitely want to start doing more of these this year! Now, if you've been watching me for a while you'll know that I'm not a make-up expert in the slightest, I only started wearing make-up properly in the last few months. So this isn't me saying 'this is how you should clean your brushes', but rather 'this is how I clean my brushes', so feel free to leave your own advice and tips in the comments below! What you'll need: Brushes Shampoo Bowl (filled with warm water) A hairdryer First. run each brush under running warm water, before you put anything on it. Then pour the shampoo (or whatever else you want to use, like...

Hey Guys x When I changed up my blog design, a lot of you guys said that you wanted to see how I did it, so I thought I'd take some screenshots to show you exactly what I did, starting with my header! Now, because I blog on blogger and have not bought a domain name, I am using the blogger template, having said that, I still managed to customise it a bit so it looks exactly the way I want it to look. But I'll show you how I did my background in another post. However, my header was completely my own design, so I'll show you how I did that first! My Header Before I start, I did my header using a tutorial that I found on Abi's blog here ! But I'll break it down a bit more so that mine isn't completely the same, as some of the things that I did didn't come from Abi's post. I'm also not going to show my exact header design, I'll just make a sample one. First of all, you need to use the website ' PicMonkey ' (if you have a better o...

    Hey Guys x   Before I begin this post, I just wanted to say that I've just been reading the comments on my last post ( here ) and I honestly can't put into words how much those comments, and you guys individually, mean to me. So thank you very much if you commented on or even read my last post.   Anyway, recently, I've been really struggling to find new bloggers, and I figured that some of you guys might be struggling with finding new bloggers too.   So then, I had one day where I just found a lot of new bloggers, so I thought that I'd give you guys some tips on how to find new bloggers!   Dive Into Popular Bloggers Comments!   This is the best place! People who read the blogs of popular bloggers and YouTubers always leave their blog links, just because they want the bloggers to see them. So what I do is, I go on to a popular blogger's latest post (such as Louise/Sprinkle of Glitter) and look though the comments. Then wit...

Of course, all presents have sentimental value, and it's the thought that counts. Nevertheless, we have all had those times when we have to pretend to be really excited about a present that we absolutely hate. So I came up with a few different ways to react when we receive one of these horrible presents. I hope you enjoy my responses! The 'Oh Wow' response This is the one where you pretend that what you have just opened is the best present you've ever received and that you will never a present this amazing for the net 325 years. Cue wide eyes and a mouth that cannot shut. I think this is the reaction that is most appreciated by whoever gave you the present, but it's also the least realistic reaction and your relatives may not even believe it in the first place. The 'Thank You' response This is the response that's the easiest to do. You literally just keep repeating 'thank you' over and over again. It tells your relative that you a...

  I know that there are a lot of you guys who are, maybe, not as excited for Christmas as your friends and family. So I thought I'd give you some things to do that can help you get excited for the Christmas period that we are currently in! - Listen to Christmas Music   Seriously, since December hit, Christmas music has been playing anywhere and everywhere. Find an album on YouTube, plug your headphones in and just listen. It should make you really excited for the Christmas Period.   - Watch Some Christmas Movies   Nothing gets you into the mood for Christmas like a good Christmas Movie. Whether it's Elf, The Grinch, or Love Actually, all Christmas films should have something about them that makes you wish it was Christmas right now!   - Go Christmas Shopping   As much as I rant about it, shopping for Christmas presents for all of your friends can really make you excited for the day itself. Not least because you'll be wond...
