Q&A!

Hellooo everyone!

This week I tweeted asking if anyone wanted to ask me any questions and I was actually asked quite a few!? So I narrowed it down to 9ish questions? If you would like to ask me any questions in the future you can leave a comment below!
 

Question 1. 'Why did you start this account?'

I didn't know if this was my twitter or my blog so I'm going to do both! I started my twitter because it is a fan account for Youtube. However I started my blog because I felt like it was somewhere in which I could escape from my exams and have something that I just like to do ( I'll explain the full story another time!)

Question 2. ' Would you rather live without the Internet, or toilet paper?!'

I sat and thought about this for quite a while because I really didn't know ( laughing as I type this next bit ). However I would rather live without toilet paper because there is no rule saying I cant use kitchen roll right?!?

Question 3. 'Who inspires you the most in your everyday life?'

I'm going to be very deep here be prepared.... The one person who inspires me the most would be my mum. This is because she is so lovely and caring and does some amazing things. I love my mum so much and if I was to grow up like her, being as successful as she is then I would feel like my life is complete!

Question 4. 'What is your favourite thing about Christmas?'

Well.... If you know me well then you will know that Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and I LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOO MUCH :):):):):):):):):):):):):) I love the films, the food and seeing family and spending time with them. But I love one thing the most and that is snow because who doesn't love a white Christmas?1

 

Question 5. 'What's your favourite thing about living in the UK?'

 

I am one of the weirdo's that love the sudden changes in British weather. This is because one day it is sunny and the next foggy and frosty. I'm hoping this will happen again soon but be snow instead!

 

Question 6. 'What did you say to Alfie when you met him?'

 

Meeting Alfie was one of the best things in my whole year of being 14! When I approached him myself and my friend both asked for high fives because he was sat behind a desk it was the only physical contact we were allowed with him, and he said okay, but my hands are sweaty from signing so many books! Then we were chatting and I told him I loved him and gave him my letter. I also got a book signed for my friend who is not very well, and Alfie being as sweet as he is wrote her a get well soon message in the front of her book!

 

Question 7. 'Who is one person you would love to meet?'

 

I have a few idols in which are all amazing and I would love to meet either, Zoe Sugg, Tanya Burr or Blake Lively. I think all these women are absolutely stunning and I would love to just have a conversation with them. You may not know who Blake Lively is, but she plays Serena Van Der Woodsen in Gossip Girl.

 

Question 8. 'Do you have a you tube channel? If yes, are you doing vlogmas?'

 

In answer to this, no I do not have a You tube channel. However I am going to try something that i am calling 'Blogmas' and try to post different Christmas things and DITL and follow me around random things, so that will be starting on the 1 December until the 25th! I hope you will like this idea?!

 

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed it, and it might have answered some questions about me that you didn't know!!

Why do i use make-up?

Hey guys!

 

 

So many of you are probably slightly confused by the title and so was I when I first wrote it. However now that I've started typing, and my fingers are tapping away I cant stop so I apologise if this is very long, but it is my opinion and how I feel and more!

 

I started wearing make-up in year seven, which is the beginning of secondary school. However this was something simple like a mascara or a translucent powder. This was on/off depending on when I got up(me being a lazy year seven sleeping until 7am this wasn't often!!). It was all just for fun and because I was thinking well why not experiment with different things. However as my skin grew worse and worse I started getting comments off of people, about how I looked and it really put my self-esteem down.


I have quite spotty skin and I have tried so many different face washes and cleansers and everything under the sun but I can never find things that can work. The only way I can clear up part of my skin is by staying in the sun for at least 3 weeks and it finally starts to clear up. However even if I only have one or two spots I still feel very self conscious.

 

And then as I started year 9 I was fed up of these comments and started to wear more and more make-up. I knew at the time that this was bad for my skin but I kept doing it because it was something to hide behind. Something to help me feel as though I could fit in and be normal for once. As the year went on I started to wear and apply more types of make-up and it just became a chore for me to do. When year 9 ended I really wasn't confident unless I had on my make-up which I could hide behind. Starting in year ten the September just gone, I felt like unless I would keep on wearing this make-up everyone would still make comments about me and upset me... So when I went back to school, I not only was wearing powder, but also foundation, concealer, mascara and I really tried to hide.


I was finally happy because I felt like now people couldn't judge me. Until today. Two people in the space of one hour asked me why am I wearing make-up? and told me that I was wearing to much make up this then upset me and I felt like crying because make-up was my way of hiding but it apparently wasn't working. Its not like my foundation is the wrong colour because it is matched to my skin by the number 7 machine thingymobob!


Now I really don't know what to do because I cant dare to be bare skinned, yet I don't want to wear my make-up because otherwise I feel like people will make comments towards me.


However if you watch a youtuber called Zoella ( Zoe Sugg ) then you will know about her video where she talks about how your skin doesn't define you. However being in a public school I feel like no-matter how I look people will always make comments towards me and it just makes me really upset that we cant all be seen for who we are, and not be defined by our skin, just like Zoe said!
Please feel free to leave comments below with questions or anything you want to know, or advice because I am open to this, or go on the contact tab and drop me an email because I am happy to talk to anyone and I wont share anything unless you wish me too or anything like that.


Thank you,

My favourite nail art designs at the moment!

Helloo everyone,

 

I am sorry that no post went up on Wednesday but i have had such a hectic week, because of more exams and so much home learning :( And then last night (Friday) I was hosting a Halloween party, and there will be a tutorial on this and costume ideas next week hopefully! So today I have managed to sit down and pick up my laptop and type away a post that I am very excited to do. This is because I love doing nail art and painting my nails whenever I can to match different outfits, I think its like a bonus accessory if you like!

 

 

So my first nail varnish creation nail art weird thing as I would call it is going to have my Nails inc. colour in 'Tate' as the base colour. Then (PICTURED AT THE BOTTOM) I took my nails supreme nail art pen and created stripes across the top of the red on my ruby ring finger. I love this look around this time because we are leading up to Christmas 2 MONTHS TODAY YIPPEE and the gold is just sparkly and cute and I just love it!

The finished look.

My next weird creation design thingy mabob, is created with the No7 stay perfect, ultra gloss finish in 'Tangy 220'. I am quite literally obsessed with this colour you could say because I love the way it looks and it looks so nice with a black and white outfit. So to change up this I did white polka dots on my ruby ring finger again. This is also called an accent nail and well I think it really can change a look!

The finished look.

Next i created a nail design thing, with my Barry m gelly hi-shine in Blueberry 344. I really would recommend these nail varnishes to anyone that likes a good finish. However I find they take quite a while to dry because it is gelly but I don't mind because I love the look after. To change this up  used my dark blue nails supreme art pen and did a flower on my accent nail.

The finished look.

I'm nearly there but next i created a design using my nail varnish that i bought in a store in Spain. I cant remember the name of the store but I do know it was a make-up shop. The nail varnish that I used as the base is made by Rare and is in the colour 011 strawberry milkshake. I love the colour of this as well as the name! To change up this design I painted my accent nail plain sparkly silver, as this makes the pattern more glamorous!

The finished look.

Finally i created a design using my Rimmel London Space dust nail varnish in '006 Moon Walking'. This colour is lovely and sparkly however I really recommend wearing a base coat because other wise it is very tricky to get off and can leave stains on your nails of purple. To change up this look I then painted my accent nail in just my Nails supreme purple, so as if it was back to front.

Sausage roll fail!

hey guys!

So this week I decided to do another food kind of topic related tutorial, because everyone loves food lets face it! However if you hadn't guessed by the title clearly something is going to go wrong because I completely messed these up, and I think they look nothing like sausage tools, so I advise you to use something to make them and not my tutorial! If you know where I went wrong, because I don't, please leave a comment at the bottom and tell me, because I want to make these again, but better!

**BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING WASH YOUR HANDS AND THE SURFACE YOU ARE WORKING OUT, TIE BACK YOUR HAIR AND ALL THAT STUFF YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO!**

Ingridient's and their measurements:

-200 grams plain flour

-100 grams Butter/Margarine

-3/4tbsps of water

-150 grams of sausage meat

-Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius-

1) Firstly, start by rubbing the butter into the flour. Use only your finger tips because the palm of your hand gets hot and this will cause the butter to melt and you don't want this!

2) Once the mixture looks like it has formed bread crumbs, add 3/4 tbsp of water and mix the pastry into a ball.

3) Place the pastry onto a floured surface, and roll out to about a 10 pence in thickness.

4) Taking a sharp knife, cut out a rectangle, so that the shape is even. Then take your sausage meat and place along the left side first. Taking a brush and some water, slide across the edges to keep them shut. Then roll your sausage rolls up and pinch along the closed area to keep it shut.

5) Now close the ends of the sausage rolls by pinching and folding away any thing that isn't neat. Then place onto a greased baking tray. Repeat steps 3,4,5 until you have used all the pastry.

6) Now taking your scissors cut little slits along the top to let the heat get into the middle for baking!

7) Finally Glaze the top of the sausage rolls with water or you can use milk/egg, to add a glossy effect and bake for about 20-30 minuites! Or until perfectly flaky!

When mine came out of the oven they hadn't gone flaky at all and just tasted like a sausage inside a jam tart sort of thing!? I believe I made short crust pastry, and not flaky, but they still tasted ok!

I hope you guys liked this simple recipe because it really is easy! If you try these out feel free to send me a picture on a social media site, and leave a link in the comments!

I'll see you all soon!
