A Little Word About Blogging

Blogging is great isn't it? You get to write about what you want, connect with other people of the same interests as you that you probably would never ever meet without your blog, get to work with companies (and even make a few pounds out of it if you're lucky enough), increase your writing and photography skill and so much more.

I went through a phase of getting crap about blogging (its the only word that really describes it) and I felt like deleting my blog, forgetting about all the above things. But, in the last few months, I have loved blogging so very much. I have met so many more people, worked with a company, made some more friends and been getting a lot more satisfied with the content I have been uploading.

So, the aim of this quick post is to remind all my fellow bloggers out there to just keep on blogging - please don't give up. Whether you have a small audience like mine or a huge audience, or if you only upload once a month or post daily - never give up. Where are you going to get if you give up?

This post is very different to the content I usually upload but it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing. Let me know if you'd like to see more of these type of posts. I am going on holiday from tomorrow until Monday, so I won't be posting but I will probably have a few holiday posts when I get back! xx

Packing Tips

I am a little overexcited for my holiday to Iceland on Thursday with school. As packing can be a bit of a frustrating and boring process, I thought I would give a few packing tips that I have learnt over the years.

1. Put on music

Spotify is great for music (one of my two obsessions at the moment, the other is Pretty Little Liars). They're have playlists for the most random things, even packing. Music makes packing a little more entertaining.

2. Make a list

A reasonable list, don't over-pack. This seems like a very obvious one but it makes life so much easier.

3. Roll

Roll your clothing, it is so logical - I don't know why I don't do it with my usual clothes in my drawers. Rolling deceases space, and stops creasing. What else do you need from a method of packing clothing?

4. Use the extra spaces

Put your socks inside your shoes, your pants inside your bras (this also keeps the shape of the bra).

4. Travel Sets

You can find these in almost any drugstore/Boots/Superdrug store. I found one in Savers for just £1. These are great because you can put your shampoo and conditioners in a well sized bottle instead of carrying it all around with you and have it taking up a load of space.

I will hopefully have a few holiday posts when I get back so keep an eye out!

Winged Eyeliner

This post is totally out of my comfort zone, but today I thought I would do a quick little post telling you how I do my eyeliner. I have been through a few phases of wearing eyeliner constantly in the past, so it feel so comfortable with all the practice I've had.

I used to struggle a lot with my eyeliner, its really tricky. In this post, I'm gong to be talking you through my eyeliner routine.

I would firstly like to apologise for the pictures of my eyes, it was a bad skincare day (my moisturiser has run out!)

I firstly line the top of my eyes to give it a bit of a base for me to work with.

Next, I take my eyeliner and do a little flick in the direction of the end of my eyebrow.

Next, I take a little line a little higher than the flick so that it looks a little like this.

I then colour that in. To finish off I try and colour my eyeliner closer to my eyelashes and apply some mascara.

I hope you enjoyed this little mid week post. Make sure to let me know if you want to see more of this type of post. I will be back tomorrow with an extra special post so keep a look out!

Spring Has Sprung - DIY

I'm back again with yet another Spring post. In todays Spring Has Sprung post, I am going to be giving you DIY inspiration for this season.

Yarn Ornaments-

I tried this DIY out twice and failed twice. With my first method, I forgot to add vaseline and on the second, the sugar water didn't really work. Anyway, I have a great tutorial for you to try out here which you can try out and hopefully do a little better than me.

Bulb/Milkbottle Vase-

I saw this on pinterest and thought it was the cutest thing, so creative. I have these little milkbottles that I put some flowers in and they turned out really well.

Mason Jar Lights-

I took a picture of fairy lights in a jar as inspiration. I put some of my own fairy lights in a jar and then lit it up and I love it. Something else you could do is paint little things on the mason jars (mine didn't turn out too good).

This post is part of a little blogger series I'm taking part in called the "secret blogger project 2015" run by teen bloggers Emily ,Rebekka and Charlotte. About 30 of us will be writing twice a week on selected little lifestyle topics and you can also go onto the twitter and instagram hashtag "#secretbp2015" to have a little chat and view everyone's posts. If you would like to join or know more (we'd love to have you!)  Instagram dm @theperks0fbeingemily or if you don't have instagram, send a quick email to  rebekkarosebeautyxo@gmail.com! xxx

I hope you've enjoyed this little series of mine, I really enjoyed making it. I will hopefully be doing one for Summer in a few months too.
