DIY door sign.

Hi so today I thought that I would do something a little bit different and show you a how to make your own door sign.

What you will need:

• sharpies (different colours)

• a sheet of paper (I used A4)

• something to lean on(that you don't mind getting sharpie on (it goes through))

• a pencil

• time and patience!! :)

What you need to do:

• First of all you need to get your paper and lay it down onto your flat thing that you don't mind getting sharpie on (if you do it in sharpies). Next take your pencil and start to draw out your design. After you have drawn some of your design you could go round it in black sharpie/ pen to make it stand out more (then you could colour?) or you could just carry on drawing.

•when you have finished the whole design you could fill in the background if you wanted to or you could leave the white showing. I chose to fill it in in different block colours.

When I had finished mine looked like this:

I put all of the things on that I enjoy doing and other things that I like. 

Tip- if you are not sure how to draw something then get a picture up on your phone/ computer/laptop or whatever other device you would like to use.

Thank you for reading my blog and let me know if you give this a go.

Favourite nail varnish.

Hello. Today I thought that I would tell you which nail varnishes I would recommend.

The first one is the BarryM nail varnish in the shade "berry." As purple is my favourite colour I really like the shade of this and I would give it a 5/5 star rating.

Next is this gelly BarryM nail varnish in the shade of "pink punch." I really like the colour of this and would give it 5/5.

Next is the "Mediterranean" nail varnish by BarryM. This one is quite thin so you have to put on at least 2 coats but it has a nice colour and I would give it a 4/5.

Next is "violet swizzle" nail varnish by RIMMEL. This is my favourite nail varnish because I really like the colour and the texture of it. I would put on about 3-4 coats to get a nice colour and would rate it a 5/5.

To top it all off (do you get my pun?!) I have this BarryM top coat which gives your nails a nice shiny finish and it's the shade "CLEAR." I would give this a 5/5 rating.

I hope you enjoyed today's blog. Thank you for reading.

YouTube merchandise.

Hi today I'm going to do a blog on my merchandise that youtubers have brought out.

The first 2 things are the Zoella makeup bag/ pencil cases. I really like these because they have a lot of room in and they look really cool. (Credit to my dad for the pic at the bottom! Thanks :) <3 )

Next is Marcus's book called Hello Life!

I got this signed when I went to his book tour and although you have to queue for hours it's worth it.

Next is Louise/sprinkleofglitter's diary for 2016. I really like this because every week or so there is a different tip, advice or activity to do. The other one is her book which I also got when I went to her book signing which was amazing - just like the book!

The next thing I picked up was this signed book that was written by Grace Helbig. I didn't go to one of her book tours I just found it in WHsmiths.

Next is this "eat sleep blog repeat" 

pencilcase which Jim Chapman designed. This is my favourite pencil case as it has loads of room in and is easy to find things in because it's slightly see through.

Last but not least it's one of my favourite books by Zoella. Girl Online is really good and has a really nice front cover! I would definitely recommend buying this.

I hope you enjoyed my blog. Thank you for reading it!

Lanzarote haul.

Hi so today I'm going to do my blog about what I bought in Lanzarote when I went in the summer holidays.

The 1st thing is this jewellery box. I really like this because it's got quite a lot of space in it and it looks really pretty.

 Next is this bracelet which I think is really cool. I really like all of the little charms on this and it's one of my favourite bracelets.

The next thing is this lipgloss from the body shop. I kinda cheated on this one as I got it from the airport on the 

way but I really like the glitter in it anyway. :)

Next is this necklace which I tend to wear when I go out for meals. When I bought the necklace I bought the purple pendant (that was the time before last summer) but I bought the silvery pendant when I went in the summer.

The final thing is this dress/jumpsuit/shorts thingy!! This is my absolute favourite thing to wear as it is really comfy and you can wear it in the daytime or in the night.

Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you found it interesting.

Enchanted Forest Colouring Book.

Hi today I'm going to do a blog about the Enchanted Forest Colouring Book which is really good to get rid of stress and it's a really good thing to do when you are bored.

This colouring book is by Johanna Basford. I got mine for £5 in sainsburys as it was half price. I decided to get one because I have heard a lot of people have them and really like them and about 2 weeks after I bought it I was going on holiday so I thought it would be a good thing to do on the plane.

These are the pens I use to colour it in. These pens are really good because they are quite thin and are really good colours.

So far this is my favourite page that I have coloured in because I really like the colour and design.

I also really like this one that I have coloured in.

From the whole book I think that this one has to be one of my favourites because I really like the antlers and although it's quite a simple one to do it looks really pretty.

I seem to really like all of the animal ones in this book. I think these two are really clever because they're completely made from leaves which I think is really good. 

Finally this is the last one in the book. This is so big and detailed it's spread across 4 pages so you have to fold 

it out. 

Thank you for reading today's blog and I would definitely recommend buying this book. 4.5/5 stars!!

What's in my bag.

Hello today's blog is going to be about what's in my bag so I hope you enjoy!!

This is my bag. I use this bag nearly every weekend when I go out. 

The first thing in my bag is my purse. This is a really handy purse because it has 2 sections and space to put your cards in too!

These are the next 3 things. The 1st one is the Zoella kissy missy lip balm which is really good and is a really nice colour. The 2nd one is my hedgehog lip gloss from Primark. The 3rd thing is my bubblegum lip scrub from Lush.

This next thing is to put my phone 

in. I put my phone in this because I 

think it's more protected in here.

Finally it's my phone. I love my phone and I take it everywhere with me! 

Thank you for reading this blog and I hope you liked it.

What's in my school bag.

Hello! Tomorrow I'm going back to school so I thought I would do a blog about what's in my school bag.

Here is my school bag. I think this is a really good backpack because it's quite strong and really big. 

So the first thing in my school bag is my 3 pencil cases. I have done a blog on what is in my pencil cases which you should read (after you've read this of course)!!

The next thing is this folder which I will be putting letters and homework in to stop it from getting creased.

The next thing is my umbrella. I love my umbrella because when it gets wet the pictures change colour and it looks really cool!

The final thing is my coat. I think this is a good idea be uses it doesn't take up that much room and it's waterproof so it keeps you dry.

This is just an extra thing because I love it! It's my key but I really really like it because it's sparkly and it's hot Mickey Mouse on!!

Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you enjoy school.
