Summer Essentials | Blondie Blog ♥

Firstly, I have been very inactive over the past two weeks, because I have been away and I haven't had any wifi. I got back at nine last night so I am writing a post as soon as possible!

This is going to be a post about my top five essentials in the summer. They will be in five categories; music, makeup, fashion, food and things to do. So lets get on with it!!!

1) Music

I recently I was on YouTube and in my suggestions box was this song called Girls Like Girls and I don't know why but I was drawn to it. I think that the song is just so beautiful. It just really is a beautiful song so you should definitely go and listen to it.

2) Makeup

In the summer you really don't want to have tonnes of makeup caked on to your face. I like to go simple but I think lashes can really do a lot for the whole look. The other day at a sleepover my friend let me use her lash sensational mascara and it was amazing. It made my eyelashes pop and I think that it can really make they colour of your eyes stand out.

3) Fashion

In the summer, one of my must haves is definitley a kimono. I just think it gives a nice summery feel to it. I also think it captures the mode everyone is in. If you pair it with some high waisted shorts and a crop top it looks so pretty.

4) Food

I think in the summer you really need something refreshing and cold to eat. So I like to snack on frozen berries. Don't ask me why!!!

5) Things To Do

In my city they recently opened up a trampoline park and if you have anything like that nearby I really recommend you go to one!

So that is it for todays blog! I hope you enjoyed!

Easy Milkmaid Braid | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! Are any of you faced with the problem of short hair! I know i am! You go onto YouTube and you see all of these amazing hairstyles, but the only problem is, is that they are designed for long hair. This look is perfect for those of you that just don't have long enough hair to reach the whole way round your head. Today, I was experimenting with hair and I managed to get my hair into a pretty good milkmaid braid! "But how?" you ask, well this blog is to let you know!

Sorry about the blur, but my hand didn't do a good job of covering up my face!!

So the first thing you are going to want to do is split your hair into a straight centre parting. This is because if you don't the plaits won't look even.

Once you have done that braid your hair down as far as it can go in a normal plait on both sides. Try to leave as little space at the bottom as possible.

Then you will need to bring both plaits up into the centre of your head (like in the picture above) and tie the two plaits together with a hairband.

Once that is secure you can undo the other two that were in when the plaits were seperate.

You are nearly done, but all you have to do is tuck it under and booby pin the stray hairs at the back. I got so many compliments today because of it, so I am sure you will too.

Thanks so much for reading!!

My Skincare Routine | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! Firstly I want to say how sorry I am that I didn't post last weekend, I just didn't realise how busy my weekend would be and I didn't have any time at all. So this week, as you can obviously see by the title is actually going to be my skin care routine. I have recently had an outbreak so I wanted some new things and I kind of updated it a little.

So the first thing I do is get my botanics face wash, because it just cleanses my face and removes any dirt or makeup from my face. This is really light and leaves my skin feeling fresh. I actually prefer something that can be rubbed in. I previously used simple, but I don't like the way it feels on my skin whilst washing, so this is just as good I find. This doesn't have any scrub in it, so to get my pores all gone I actually use something else as well.

I use the vitamin E face scrub from superdrug. I actually picked this out because I really wanted something without micro beads. If you don't know, micro beads don't get filtered out of the water that goes out into rivers and things like that, and because they are plastic they don't decompose. So I was really happy when I found this, because it had oatmeal in it, and it is so good. I rub it into my t-zone and my breakout has seriously gotten so much better!

Then just to finish things up I use my botanics moisturizer.   

Thanks for reading!

My Two Favourite Lip Products | Blondie Blog ♥

Hey guys! Today I am going to be telling y'all about my three fave lip products. Whether i am on holiday or at home, I always need something on my lips because I get so aware of them when they are chapped. A lot of the time I have a small makeup bag at school, just so I can touch up on anything I want at lunch or break. So these things need to be quite small and suitable for school wear.

1) Blushing Coral ~ Clinique

I don't think that they do it anymore because my mum found it recently and gave it to me. At first I was a bit skeptical but as soon as I tried it on I loved it. It is a dark pinky brown colour, but when you put it on your lips it just adds some glitter and a hint of colour. This is so gorgeous I cannot even tell you. I NEED IT BACK ON THEIR WEBSITE!!! Seriously though, if you can somehow get your hands on it then I defo recommend you do!

2) Burt's Bees Chapstick

This is so good at moisturising your lips because it is so fresh. When you apply it, it leaves a minty tang on your lips that makes them feel really cold, but it is so good. After a while your lips become so soft it is un real. Also I highly recommend this because of how natural the company is. They are a good company if you want something kind to nature.

What are your favourite lips products?

Thank you for reading!

TESTS! | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! Is anyone else kind of freaked out about all of the tests that they are getting? Because my teachers make sure to tell me how important this is to do with my future. Like WTF? Why the hell do I want to think that a maths test at the end of this year is going to decide whether I get to have a good job or not. Sometimes I just don't want to study and sometimes I don't give a damn about maths tests!


This is what went through my head this weekend;



"I could just try my hardest and not revise at all?"






"Yeah"





Sorry about my little rant but, wanted to get it off my chest so...   Are there any tests that you are worried or not worried at all about??

Why, thank you for reading!

My Three Favourite Youtubers | Blondie Blog ♥

HI guys! Today I am going to talk about my three favourite YouTubers because I am always interested in who people like to watch so i thought that you might be too! I really like finding new YouTubers, and I must say, it is one of my hobbies... So, here you might find some new ones to love. I will be leaving all their links in here so you can go and check them out!

The first one is Hannah Maggs . Half  of you probably already know her but I think her youtube is amazing! Her channel is based around weekly vlogging, and she records with her husband Stef. Her vlogs are super relatable, and they have a really adorable child called Grayson. The amount of effort that they put into their vlogs is unreal, and the result is so stunning!

Another Youtuber I just found recently has been Glam and Gore, she does FX make up and the results that she ends up with are unreal! E.G

So if you are interested in any make up tutorials that are wicked and that then turn into gory tutorials, then you will love her channel!

My third person is a girl called Quisha Rosetta and, lets be honest, her YouTube is goals. It is a beauty / fashion / lifestyle type of thing and everything is literally perfect!

Thank you sosososossososo much for reading!

My After School Routine | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! This week I am going to talk to you about my after school routine, which I haven't really seen much of. This is going to be as real as possible, and I literally did this on Friday, so this isn't some perfect life.

So the first thing I did when I got home was to have a shower, because if you live anywhere in Norfolk, you will know that last Friday it was boiling! Unfortunately for me, I couldn't enjoy it because my school uniform is really dark. I just used the Body Shop peach body wash. This smells really nice and is light and bubbly. The only problem with this is that it cuts my thumb every time I try and open it, but luckily for me, I didn't get blood all over the shower this time.

So after I had my shower I decided to do my homework because I am a Good Girl ;)

Then I spent around two hours... or a bit more on my computer. I can't help it if I have so many videos to watch! I was also scrolling through Instagram, looking at my Tumblr feed and doing some random crap.

After that my mum called me down for dinner, so I went and ate that with her and my bro.

Then I did my piano practice and rehearsed my lines for a show I am in.

Thanks for reading about my "After School Routine"
