Sweater Weather Tag

I love tags and as it's autumn now I thought I would do an autumn themed one and the one I liked the most was this one, the Sweater Weather Tag. This tag has 17 questions and I tag everybody so you can do it on your blog, in the comments or on Google+ and tag me. 
Lets get started!

I actually don’t like candles as I’m scared that I’m going to burn the house down as I’ll probably forget that I’ve got one burning. If I was to choose one I would should the Yankee Candle scent Cinnamon Spice as that was burning for the last few years in my house and it smelt really nice; I love cinnamon scents, especially for fall.

Hot chocolate definitely because I don’t like tea or coffee. When I have hot chocolate I have to have all the cream as whipped cream is a-ma-zing and loads of marshmallows as then it’s more cosy and autumnal.

I don’t have any memories in particular so instead I’ll tell you what I love most about autumn. The thing I love most is the cosy-ness of autumn and that’s the thing I always look forward to as I love snuggling on the sofa or my bed with a TV show or my favourite YouTubers.

I don’t really read much which is very bad and I don’t recommend not reading but I’m currently reading The Duff and when I’m finished I’m going to watch the movie as a treat for reading a whole book. I am enjoying the book but I’m not that far through. I’m also now reading The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire by Dan and Phil and it’s amazing!

Both look really gorgeous and it is hard to choose one but I love dark lips so I’m going to choose that even though I think they both look really nice. I also really like dark lips with winged eyeliner and bouncy waves, not on myself as I’ve never tried it. My favourite dark lip is a lipstick by Givenchy (My only high-end makeup product!)

I love musky scents which I find quite unusual because I love anything girly and sweet but I actually love musky scents. I love Hypnotic Poison at the moment and it’s the scent I’ve been wearing for the last couple of weeks.

In the UK we don’t celebrate thanksgiving so because of that I don’t know anything about thanksgiving or its food. I also wonder why we don’t have it in the UK…?

As I said I live in the UK (England to be precise) and we’re quite lucky as we experience all seasons, which I like. In autumn it’s quite cold and does feel like winter at times which can be annoying but when it gets to winter it’s so cold! The thing I don’t like about autumn weather is that we don’t really get any warning that autumn’s on its way, it just gets really cold and dark one random day and then it’s autumn!

My most worn jumper (I’m English so I’m not going to call it a sweater!) is from Primark and it’s burngandy and has a fluffy dog on it. If you would like to see it you can go on my Twitter which is @_LouiseCarter_  and while you’re there you can follow me! I wear jumpers a lot in the autumn/winter so I do have quite a few and Primark is the best place to get them as they’re so cosy!

  I’ve been loving purples this autumn and purple is a colour I never ever wear on my nails so it’s surprising that I’ve been liking it. However, I have been wearing it on my toes because I hardly ever wear polish on my fingers nails due to school and when I do I wear white because white is my favourite colour for nails. If I wore polish more often I would wear purple on my fingers.

(Look how cute this is!!!)
Jumping in  leaf piles as I absolutely hate anything to do with sports- watching it or playing it. However, I wouldn’t really want to jump in leaf piles as that’s not really my style. I just want to add here that I love the colours of autumn leaves and on my way to and from school and they’re so gorgeous.

BOTH!!!! I love both so much as they’re they’re both super comfy and super cute. I wear both all year round so this question would be applicable all year round! I also love the Tumblr pictures above as they’re outfits I would totally wear them in autumn.


To be honest everyone I’ve never had combat boots or Uggs; I’ve had fake Shoe Zone Uggs and they were alright. I would probably like both but looks-wise it would have to be the combat boots but comfort-wise (which is always the best) it would be the Uggs.

To be honest I’ve never had pumpkin spice or anything pumpkin because I don’t think I’ll like it. On the other hand I know I don’t know if I’ll like it until I’ve tried it but I’m scared about trying it! I also don’t like coffee but I know that for sure!

Strictly Come Dancing and it’s spin off show It Takes Two- you could watch it anytime of the year but as it’s aired in Autumn/Winter I call it an autumn show. As I’ve said loads of time I don’t watch much TV so I don’t know shows that scream out autumn like Pretty Little Liars or some that might not be so popular.

I have a few so I’m going to make a Spotify playlist but here’s a few although they’re not very autumnal but they still remind me of autumn:
Skyfall by Adele
Move by Little Mix
One Direction
If you would like to see more you can follow me on Spotify (my username is louisesprinkles) and listen to my Autumn playlist!

I hope you enjoyed this tag post and I tag everyone reading! Tomorrow is October Favourites time so remember to check back here at 7am!
Thanks for reading,

The British Tag

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be doing a tag because I said a couple of weeks ago that I will be doing some. To start off I thought I would do one that's not very current so I can be original and because I like it! It's going to be The British Tag as I'm English and I live in England  and I thought you could get to know me better. I know I'm the not most British person but lets see how British I am! Stay till the end to see who I tagged!
Lets get started!

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day? How many sugars?
This question proves I'm not very British like as I HATE tea! I just hate the taste of it and I don't drink it ever. I also don't like coffee but that's not British. The only hot drink I like is hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows.... Stop Louise we're going off topic!

2. Favourite part of your roast?
Definitely the Yorkshire pudding as they're just so nice. However in close second place is the stuffing ball as I love stuffing balls a lot. Let me know in the comments if you like brussel sprouts because I will eat them but I don't have any feelings towards them so I don't know then.

3. Favourite dunking biscuit?
As I said above I don't drink tea so I don't have a favourite dunking biscuit. But I will tell you my favourite biscuit which are borbourns as I love chocolate so it was obviously going to be a chocolate one.

4. Favourite quintessentially British pastime?
Again this question proves that I shouldn't be British as I'm pretty sure watching YouTube and going on social media is a typical British pastime (I know it's not). I don't like sport and I can't think of any British pastimes I like. I should probably get out of here NOW!

5. Favourite word?
I don't really know- I probably do have a favourite word but when it comes to try and I think of one I can't so I'll have a think and edit this at a later date

6. Cockney Rhyming Slang?
I'm officially leaving the country now as I don't know any which is probably really bad. It's just something I've never learnt and it's something I don't need to know as it's not going to affect my life in any way. Now I'm just going off topic!

7. Favourite sweet?
FOR GOODNESS SAKE! MY FAVOURITE SWEET IS AMERICAN! My favourite sweets are chocolate M&Ms which had to be American didn't they?! If I had to choose British sweets I would go for fizzy bubblegum bottles, which I hope are British, and banana bottles, which I'm pretty sure are British as they were at all the school discos and in Pick n Mix.

8. What would your pub be called?
I'm Clearly Not British I Should Move Out Of This Country!

9. No.1 British person?
I like David Walliams as he's very funny and he was the first British person that came to mind. However the 1st person I thought of was Victoria Beckham but she's not my No.1

10. Favourite shop/restaurant?
My favourite shop is Primark but that's Irish so does that count.... and my favourite restaurant is Frankie's and Benny's

11. What British song pops into your head?
Spice Up Your Life by Spice Girls which is weird as this was the first British song that popped into my head and my No.1 British person was Victoria Beckham. Maybe I'm being haunted by Victoria Beckham!

12. Marmite?
HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT! I think it tastes disgusting and I will never have it in my life ever again (as you can tell I hate it very much)

I hope you enjoyed this tag and we've all learnt I should move to America as I will probably fit in a lot better there. I'm going to tag Cerys to see how British she is and see if she should stay in this country (she probably will). Also follow me on Twitter which is @_LouiseCarter_
I'm off to move to America but there will be a new blog post next week so stay tune for that!
See you then,
Louise

Review | Barry M Showgirl Mascara

 
End of the week= new post! Hello everybody and welcome to this Sunday's post! This week is a review and it's a review on the Barry M Showgirl Extra Volume Black Mascara.
I don't do many reviews much so if you would like me to do more, let me know in the comments and also what you want me to review! Lets get reviewing!
 
Pros
- This mascara has beautiful packaging and it's very glamorous which isn't something you would expect from Barry M. This packaging reminds me of the YSL mascara packaging as they're both metal and thin.
 
- This mascara is a great everyday mascara as you can make it look quite natural for school/work but then you could make it more volumizing for the evening to go to parties or clubbing.
 
- The wand is really nice as it's nice and thin but enough to give you some volume. This mascara doesn't say it's supposed to be a lengthing mascara but I do like to use it as a lengthing mascara during the day so I like how it's 2-in-1.
 
Cons
- Even though I just said that I like to use it as a lengthing mascara, I would've liked there to be a bit more volume as that's what it claims to be. If you was to be using this as a volumizing mascara, you would need another on the top to give you loads and loads of volume.
 
- I know I said that this mascara as beautiful packaging but there is a problem having such beautiful packaging like this, it's really heavy. It's not heavy like you're struggling to carry it but it's heavy for a mascara. It's not the perfect mascara to be carrying around then even though I use it as a daytime mascara.
 
 
Overall I do like this mascara and I would recommend it as it does give beautiful lashes and you can wear it two ways. I know Barry M mascara's aren't talked about enough but I don't know why as this one is really good.
I hope you enjoyed this review as I might do more if you want. Follow me on Twitter if you want behind the scenes photos and me sharing my #firstworldproblems
Thanks for reading

My Pamper Routine


Could I just add how much I love this thumbnail thingy

I love having pamper afternoons so I thought I would share with you what I do on mine! Everyone should treat themselves to a pamper afternoon/evening regularly as it reduces it stress and makes you feel a lot better about yourself. I try to do this every week or every other week as I enjoy it and I love having an afternoon to myself.

Lets get started!
The first thing I will do is get my dressing gown and slippers out. I don't wear my slippers much so when I do, it's either autumn/winter or pamper time, in this case it was pamper time. I love my slipper boots and they're from Shoe Zone and my dressing gown is from Tesco. I know it would be more relaxing and spa-like to have a white one but I love my one as I'm a child at heart!

I will then run a bath as that's definitely is one of the best things to do when I'm having a pamper routine. The products I used is the Along Came Betty So Much Bubble Heavenly Bath Soak in Very Berry and the Radox Feel Glam With Berry Burst Shower Cream- as you can tell I love berry scents! Now you can choose something to do whilst in the bath like listen to music, watch TV/YouTube or read; I choose to listen to music (I Cry When I Laugh by Jess Glynne in fact). WARNING: If you're using electronics, make sure you're very careful!
What I used (Links)

I will then wash my hair so it's nice and clean. I didn't usually wash my hair on pamper afternoon but I've started to as it feels nice and I love my shampoo and conditioner. You're probably wondering why I'm using Tesco-own hair products but it's because they're actually really good! They smell divine and they're really nice to apply and make my hair really soft. I will then let my hair air-dry as I can't really be bothered to blow-dry it.

After I finished washing and drying myself, I will put on my onesie. I don't do this in the summer and this pamper afternoon was the first time I wore my onesie in ages! My onesie is from Next and it's really comfy. I'm not a fan of animal themed ones (I know my one is leopard print but I mean is ones that have ears and look like animals). I think wearing a onesie is a  typical pamper afternoon essential as who wouldn't want to be comfy during pamper time?

I will then paint my toes and if it's not school time, I will paint my fingernails. This pamper afternoon I painted them a deep purple for fall/autumn. I'm a lot better at painting my toes than fingernails so I do prefer painting my toes. I would show you a picture of my finished toes but my feet are horrible so I thought I would skip that for everyone's pleasure!
Whilst your hair and nails are drying you don't just want to be sitting there so I would recommend you do something relaxing. That could include reading a book or a magazine or watching a TV show or a YouTube video. On this particular pamper afternoon I chose to read OK! as I hadn't read much of it so I thought I would read the latest celebrity gossip!

I will then apply some body lotion all over my body (no I put it in my hair!) to moisturize and to finish off my body after my bath. The one I use is the Along Came Betty Cream Of All Cream Body Lotion in the scent Very Berry. I really like this body lotion as it has a berry scent (my fave!) and it makes my skin super soft! Sometimes I will use body butter but today I wanted to apply body lotion.

Finally I will finish off with a lip balm so my lips are moisturized and looking gorgeous! The one I'm currently using is the Maybelline Baby Lips in Melon Mania. I really like this one as it has a gorgeous scent and it has gorgeous packaging as I love green and pink together. You could use any lip balm you like as I know Baby Lips don't work for everyone but they do for me!

So that's what I do during my pamper time/me time! I really hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you want more routine posts and I'll be happy to try it out.
If you would like to you could follow me on Twitter at @_LouiseCarter_ as I post updates and behind the scenes!
Thank you for reading and leave a comment if you want, I love reading comments and I reply to everyone!
See you soon,
Louise

Collective Haul | Primark, Lush, Superdrug and MORE!!!

Today, as I said in my last post, I have a collective haul because I've been shopping quite a bit as I've been bored. Everything in this haul is random but we don't mind as the same does say it's a collective haul. I'm also going to answer a few questions at the end of this post so keep reading!
Why wait, lets get started!

Black and White Big Bucket Bag from Primark- £9
I didn't have an autumn bag so I needed to get a new one, well I didn't need one but I wanted one. I really like this bag because it’s really big and I never see massive bucket bags. In the autumn and winter I always carry more than I need as I always have an umbrella and my whole bedroom (not literally)!  I love monochrome so everything about this bag is perfect in my eyes

Black and White Chevron Backpack from Amazon- (I think about the £8 mark)
The school bag that I had at the beginning of the school year broke in the first week and I didn’t have any other suitable so I needed to get a new one. I got this one from Amazon and I also got another backpack as I have a bloody backpack obsession. This one has loads of space and looks really cute. As I said I love monochrome so obviously I had to get this bag, and it was super cheap! 
Edit- This bag broke after 7 days of use so I'm getting a Hype backpack 

Betron Extra Bass Power Universal Stereo Earphones (Black & Gold) from Amazon -£10.99
I loved my old earphones, which were mint floral ones from Claire’s and you can see them HERE, but one morning my dad stepped on them so I kinda needed new ones. I used to wear big over-ear headphones but currently I don’t really like wearing them so I got some new earphones. Gold is one of my favourite colours and black and gold looks really sleek together. These are also really comfy and the sound quality is amazing.

Velvetgh0st Mint, Pink and Black Triangles Tumbler from Primark £4

I’m very prone to spilling diet coke so a tumbler was something that was much needed in my life. I got this one from Velvetgh0st’s homewear collection at Primark and it’s super cute! I love mint and pink so obviously I had to get this one. It holds a little less than 500ml which I think is the perfect amount for me.

Butterbear Bath Bomb from Lush £1.95
So Lush came out with their Christmas collection the day before I went shopping (October 2nd) so I knew I had to go to Lush to check it out! Emma Blackery done a video of all of the Christmas and Halloween Lush collection on her lifestyle channel. I got this bath bomb called Butterbear as it smell delicious as it smelt like chocolate.
Lush Description: ‘Snuggle up in a vanilla-scented bear hug with softening Fair Trade cocoa butter from the Colombian Peace Community of San José de Apartadó. Creamy and pampering, this polar pal will melt hearts young and old.’

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar from Lush- £2.75
This smells exactly like Snow Fairy shower gel so if you like the smell of that, which is a love or hate smell, you would love this. I love Lush’s bubble bars so I had to get this one. The only problem is that this is really glittery and it gets all over your hands.
Lush descriptions: ‘FairTrade vanilla grows in view of the Rwenzori Mountains in Western Uganda being packed into this peak of its own. Crumble the swirled pink summit under running water and embrace glistening ridges of bubbles and comforting creamy candy mist'

Zoella Lace Collar Purse £6 from Superdrug
So Zoe's new collection came out a couple of days before I went shopping so obviously I had to go into Superdrug and check it out. There are a couple more things I want to try but the first thing I got from this new collection was the lace collar purse because I think it looks really pretty. I also love the shinyness of this, which is weird to say.

Pink Aztec Wide Canvas Shopper/ PE Bag from Primark- £1.50
For my PE bag at school I always use carrier bags but then they always break so I thought that I needed to invest in something better, and this was only £1.50! I really love this bag as it fits everything in and looks nice, something that a carrier lacks. I love Aztec prints so I thought this was a perfect choice for me as Primark had loads so there’s something for everyone.

Zoella Beauty Tutti Fruity Bath Fizz Fragranced Bath Fizzer from Superdrug- £5
As you guys probably know, I’m a huge fan of Zoella and so obviously I want to support her with her products. I’ve already got the Just Say Yes makeup bag and you’ll see another piece later in this haul but this time I got the Bath Fizz which is mini chunks of bath bombs in a chocolate bar form which is such a cute and quirky ideas. It smells really nice so if you want I can do a review on it.

Q&A
1. If you was prime minister/ruler of the world, what laws would you make?
-I would make a law on that we should be allowed to go out in pyjamas/ comfy clothes and not be judged. Also a law that we should have less homework/school and I hope you agree with that.

2. Are you clumsy?
-Yes I am as I’m always spilling drinks, especially diet coke. I think I’m becoming a bit less clumsy but I am still quite clumsy and I probably always will be!

3. What’s Your Favourite TV Show?
-I don’t really watch a lot of TV as I watch more YouTube but shows that I’m loving at the moment is Strictly, which I love and always will, and Strictly It Take Two and that always signals to me autumn and winter as I love being snuggling on the sofa with sweets/chocolate in my onesie.

4. Would you say you’re a good or bad influence to others?
-I’m probably a bad influence because I am very lazy and don’t really do much and I do have negative thoughts on everything and I complain about EVERYTHING so that means I’m a bad influence to everyone.

5. Where would you like to go for a first date?
-I would like something where you could get to know the person so nothing like the cinema as I would want to talk, I always want to talk! My ideal first date would be going out for food as you can talk and eat and who could say no to food?!?

6. If you was in a band, what instrument/role would you play?
-I wouldn’t be in the band, I would be part of the management. I could not be part of a band as I can’t sing or play any instruments so I would have to be part of management as I’m organised and bossy.

7. Have you ever been to LEGOLAND?
-I always wanted to go as a child even though I didn't really play with much Lego when I was younger so I never went but I wanted to go to get one of them driving licences that everyone had but I never got one… (insert sad face L)

8.  Have you ever sleepwalked?
-I really don’t think I have as I don’t remember anyone telling me as if I have sleepwalked someone would have seen me and told me. Unless I have in the middle of the night…

9. Do you lick the yoghurt or desert lid?
-Yes! I thought everyone does! Please let me know in the comments below because I don’t want to be the only one. Why waste perfectly good yoghurt so you have to lick the lid

10. Have you already thought about your babies names?
- Yes- me and my friend Cerys talk about names a lot of the time and then that conversation turns into talking about what we would call our kids. I won’t tell you the names that I currently love as I might end up hating them names!!!


I hope you enjoyed this post and like this added post. Yesterday I also uploaded a diary entry sort of post so if you haven't checked that out you can click HERE

My New Idea

Hi,
I love reading other blogs and this month I have been reading a lot of Sprinkle Of Glitter's blog and she has a started a new feature which is an October Diary. I really like that idea so I'm going to incorporate that into my blog but I'm going to do it when I want. 
I will still be posting every Sundays so this will be a new side feature, like my favourites.


So nothing really exciting has been happening recently. Basically my life has been school and homework, watching YouTube and TV and blogging.
School is alright but is boring always doing the same subjects every day, especially science which I hate so much. I'm enjoying my drama GCSE as we're making a panto for younger kids and it's making me get into the Christmas spirit- last Friday me and my friend Cerys were going round singing Christmas songs. Geography is alright but can be boring as we done the same stuff earlier in the year and French is boring but I know I need to try hard in it for the future.
I've been watching a lot of YouTube and TV recently, which is something I do a lot in the autumn. I'm also very behind on YouTube, over a week behind, as I watch my subscriptions in order so I'm trying to catch up. This year I haven't been watching a lot of TV but recently I've been watching quite a bit and those shows are:
-Strictly
-Strictly It Takes Two
-The Educating series on channel 4
-Child Genius
You can also give me some suggestions in the comments below :)

Blogging is something I've been doing as I like to have quite a few posts scheduled as it makes me feel organised and if I get blogger block, I'll still have some posts. 
I'm also trying to eat more healthy as I haven't. I always say that I'm going to eat healthy but never do but this time I will. I've also been changing up my lunches to make them more interesting and more healthy as I have fruit every day when I never ever had any fruit.


I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll probably continue doing these sorts of posts as I find it really therapeutic writing about my life and I love writing my blog.
If you want to you can follow me on Twitter and my username is @_LouiseCarter_ (I nearly spelt my surname wrong then)
See you soon,

Ps. My Collective Haul will be up tomorrow or Saturday and there will also be a post on Sunday. I'm spoiling you! :)

YouTubers Writing Books?!? | Thoughts

Hi
Today I'm going to be sharing with you my thoughts on YouTubers writing books as this topic has caused outrage from fans, authors and the media. I hope you like the idea of these thought posts as I'll probably do some more in the future.
Lets get started...
 
 
My thoughts are is that there probably is too many YouTube books. If a YouTuber would like to release something to give back to their fans, they could choose a different piece of merchandise like Jim Chapman who made a stationary line (James & Friends) instead of a book.
I think that the reason YouTubers are bringing out books is after the success of Girl Online by Zoella/Zoe Sugg and they want some of the success. There are other ways or releasing things such as beauty lines (Zoella and Tanya Burr) or DVDs (ThatcherJoe and Caspar Lee).
I do have some YouTuber books which are (in order of purchase):
- Girl Online by Zoella/Zoe Sugg (9 million subscribers)
- The Glam Guide by Fleur DeForce (1m)
- Love Tanya by Tanya Burr (3m)
- Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter by Sprinkle Of Glitter/ Louise Pentland (2m)
- I Hate MySelfie by Shane Dawson (6m)
 
And below is more YouTuber books that I don't have/ have not been released yet:
- Pointless Book 1&2 by PointlessBlog/Alfie Deyes (4m)
- Girl Online: On Tour  by Zoella
- Hello Life by Marcus Butler (3m)
- In Real Life by Joey Graceffa (5m)
- Binge by Tyler Oakley (7m)
- Username Evie by ThatcherJoe/Joe Sugg (5m)
- The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire by Dan & Phil/ danisnotonfire/AmazingPhil
- This Book Loves You- Pewdiepie/ Felix Kjellberg (38m)
And more
 
I have 5 books and now I'm going to review 4 as I don't have a physical copy of I Hate MySelfie because it's on my Kindle.

I really enjoyed this book as it was one of the first YouTuber books and it's fiction which is the complete opposite to the others; I think if more YouTubers wrote fiction then more kids would read. The plot is very Zoe, which I think is a good thing as it is her book. I know some of this book was ghostwritten but I don't really mind, it's a good book nonetheless.
 
This is a really good book which I'm glad I got. It's probably not for people my age as Fleur's audience is more older (like 20s) but I still enjoy her videos and vlogs. This book is a guide (as the name suggests) on how to live a glam life. It has tips on beauty, fashion, hair but also YouTube, life and travel.
 
This book is kind of a rip-off if you have Fleur's book, they really similar with most of the chapters and tips. The only difference is that this book is much more personal so if you're a huge fan of Tanya this is for good if you want to know more about her. If you have Fleur's book but you like Tanya I would save your money. 
 
 
I really enjoyed this book as it was very Louise with the topics and the writing style. You could tell Louise was involved with this book as she made sure the topics were her, like the anti-baking chapter, which I enjoyed. It's quite different from The Glam Guide and Love Tanya as this is more lifestyle with a little bit of beauty.
 
I hope you enjoyed this thought post as sometimes it's nice to put my 2 cents arcoss on some matters. If there's anything you want me to do a Thought post on let me know and I'll add it to my list of blog posts.
See you soon,
Louise

September Favourites

A month has past which means it's time for a new favourites post for the month of September. This month has gone by in a flash and now it's autumn! I've been getting into the autumn spirit by wearing jumpers and wearing onesies! I found it kind of hard choosing my favourites this month because I've been using a lot of the same things but luckily I found a few which I'm going to share with you NOW!

This is the mascara I'm currently using and I really love it. It's the Barry M Showgirl Extra Volume Black Mascara and because it's Barry M, it's really cheap, I believe it was £4.99. I don't want to talk too much about it as I've got a review coming up this month. I will say that the brush is really nice as it's perfect for giving you amazing lashes that have volume and are really long.

This is my favourite song of the month, it's not my favourite ever song but it is a good song. I really like the message behind this song as it's really inspirational and I think we need more songs like this instead of ones about sex and whatnot. I also like the music video even though it's not some big production.

If you read my stationery haul and my Tesco haul, which were both published this month, you would've already seen this. This is my planner from Tesco and I've been using it a lot to write when blog posts are going live and when my homework is due. It's really handy to have a personal planner as it's going to keep you organised.

EastEnders has been my favourite TV show this month. I didn't think it was really good in the summer but late last month and this month it has been really good. I'm also happy that Lauren's back (played by Jacqueline Jossa) as she's one of my favourite characters. I won't say any more as I don't want to be giving spoilers although I do know some!

This is a favourite that I have to thank my friend Cerys for as she introduced me to Emma Blackery and I'm so glad she did! Emma posts really funny videos on what annoys her and sketches. I really enjoy her videos and I always have to watch a new one when it comes out. 

Zoella.co.uk has been my favourite blog this month as I really like the layout and the content that Zoe writes about. In case you hadn't realised, Zoella.co.uk is the blog of Zoella from YouTube and author of Girl Online and has Zoella Beauty. I think the layout of her blog is really beautiful so I would recommend you check it out! 

We're going to get deep here, prepare yourself. Sadly this earphones are no longer with us and I have no clue where they now are. My dad step on them the day after I took the above photo so I had to chuck them away. I do have some new ones now but we'll go into that in probably next months favourites. I loved these earphones because they were super cute and the sound quality was amazing. RIP earphones.

If you read my Tesco Haul (link HERE) you would have seen it's first appearance but today I'm giving more of a review. I really like this lip balm as it's smells gorgeous, it's really hydrating and the colours of the packaging is gorgeous. This baby lips is in the scent melon mania and I love watermelon so if you do too, I would recommend it.

The weather hasn't been that nice recently and I've been getting into the autumn spirit so this has made a reappearance in my wardrobe and my outfits (well my school uniform...). I love this snood as it's so warm and cosy! It's from Primark and it was really cheap like £3. It's from last year but I'm sure they'll do something similar again this year.


Pinterest has been a favourite this month as I have been using it a lot recently. I go through fazes where I use it and then I go without it for a few weeks. Overall I do think it's a good app and I don't know why I go without it for so long but hay ho I do. I love looking at all of the fashion, home décor and nail art.

I have been doing a lot of binge watching recently especially on Friday and Saturday nights. I don't have Netflix because I don't like the concept of it but I've found some amazing box sets on 4OD (the Channel 4 iplayer thing). I've currently been watching Educating The East End as I love documentarys and then I'm going to move onto another one of the Educating series.

I've loved McDonald's chocolate milkshakes for ages but I thought I would include it this month so you know for the future. I find it hard to describe food and drink but what I will say is that this is really nice and really creamy and gorgeous (a rubbish description). When I have milkshakes I only have chocolate so I can't give opinions on others in McDonald's.

So that's my September Favourites. I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know you're favourites this month and maybe I will discover something new! 
Before you leave (you can stay which is what I want you to do) I want to leave you a random fact that I thought was interesting. 
Fact of the day:
Using sarcasm on a regular basis improves your IQ.

Thanks for reading,
