Oh 3rd || Lets Make Some Memories

Hello0o Flowers!! i hope you are doing wonderful! so once upon a time, Pinterest came into my life and what a fabulous disaster! haha the fabulous part is that i LOVE it! and the disastrous part is that i am ADDICTED to it!  i lose sleep because god forbid i don't pin that one picture of Harry Styles into my board. haha (oh! you read correctly! i am a huge fan of those lovely boys!! <3 ) But any who0o, if you don't know about Pinterest, you must! its filled with pictures and great ideas and great outfit ideas t0o. The reason i bring this up is because that is where i found this lovely idea for a Memory Jar.

A memory jar is a little jar of your liking that you start to fill with memories. they could be good, bad, life changing memories or just a small detail that made you happy. You live it, you write it and save it! typically you start this at the beginning of the year so that when the year is over you can look back at all the wonderful things you did. But you can start or do it how ever you like. like if you start it this month then open it next year during the same month, or fill the jar with secrets, like a diary, or with dreams or future plans/goals...just some ideas. :) 

This picture is from Pinterest and it belongs to another blogger, if you wish to see hers click it! she has some different ways of keeping memories too.

Any who0o, lets get started!

What you need:

• a jar (preferably with a lid) (the jar featured above is a mason jar, mine is one i picked up at the craft sotre)
• sticky notes (it looks prettier with color stickies!)
• pencil/pen

jars! check out your local thrift store, grocery store or craft store

To make it your very own:

• mod podge
• a brush
• card stock (construction paper/ thicker than printer paper)
• decal
• pictures
• stickers
• ribbon
• glitter
• the supplies are endless, its how ever you want to personalize it.                                                        This also makes for a great gift, so you can personalize it to your liking or to a friend's liking !

if you don't have a decal but you are equipped with Mod Podge, like i was, then you can make your very own label. you can use a computer or use magazine cut outs or even tissue paper! I printed what i wanted on paper and then i ripped the edges so it gave it more character, then i just slathered the mod podge and let it dry. I also added a little string at the lip of the jar and made a bow.

and Tadaaa!

Since i haven't really been up to much my jar is lacking memories but i'm working on it! i think i might start to add in some dreams and future goals of mine! 

If you would like to discover the wonderful world of Pinterest then click it! but prepare yourself for some extreme pinning and hours of Internet use! it truly is addicting and don't forget to follow me! i pin just about everything, i can't control myself! i pin crafts, hair ideas, outfit ideas and many more things and of course those five lovely boys form that wonderful British boy band!!

Oh 2nd || Rainy Day & 1st OOTD

Hell0o0o0o my flowers!! :) yesterday was a wonderful day i woke up to rain! i love the rain, especially when its gloomy, grey, chilly and the sun is tucked away. i know it may sound depressing but oh! it brings me joy! :) with such grey weather i was able to pull out my chunky scarf. I love this scarf, its thick, fluffy and warm and it was a gift from my bestie so that makes me love it all the more! i also wore some plain black leggings and a black sweater with a blouse that mother bought me. the blouse is a thin off white material with a layer of lace near the neckline. Under the scarf i piled 2 long and thin beaded black necklaces. i think i would have preferred to wear boots but unfortunately i haven't found a good pair yet, so i had to opt for some simple black flats.  :O first outfit of the day!

scarf: H&M $12.95

After work i popped by the mall and i picked up a few things at H&M. they were having a sale!! so i obviously had to buy something. :) after that i walked by a small cafe and in the display case, there sat a delicious looking tart. it made my mouth water, but unfortunately i had to say no. :(

0o0o look at that scrumptious pastry! and the wonderful view of the rain from the driver's seat :)

i hope you enjoyed! i know i may not have any or many readers yet, but if you did happen to read about my day, then i would love to hear about yours!!

Muakk!! xx

  

Oh 1st || First Official Post

As the official first post i thought i would just dive into it and show you some recent buys. First i'll start with the Simple lotion, which is great! i had heard of it from pixi2woo , she talked about it in one of her videos and when i went to the store i saw it and i got it! oh the excitement! i guess its in the uk, so after seeing her video and then seeing it on the store shelf here, i got pretty excited. The lotion is extremely light and hydrating and its perfect for my face. Next on the list is the Clean Finish foundation by Rimmel, it is my first ever foundation. i never wear "all over" makeup because i had never had the need not since recently, but i'll leave that for another post. Up next are the two makeup brushes that i bought when i stopped at Target. These are my first makeup brushes (not used for the eyes), one is the double ended with one end being a concealer brush and the other being a foundation brush. i found it really hard to rub the foundation on with my fingers, i felt like i was rubbing my hand germs all over my face and i found that it dried quickly so i couldn't spread it evenly. So i thought hey! lets use a brush like my Youtube inspirations do. The brush works! The other brush is a baby kabuki brush that i use to apply the NYX Pinched blush that i got at Ulta. 0o0o0o Ulta, its a makeup heaven there! i could be inside that wonderful little world for ages! :) While i was there i picked up NYX milk jumbo pencil for an eyeshadow primer. it really brightens things up! And second to last are those little clips that i am forever losing! I bought a pack of normal and a pack of jumbos to hold my hair in place.  Oh, saved the best for last!! The book: The Perks of Being a Wallflower ! i saw the preview for the movie and i announced to the people in my living room "I want to see that!!" and so of course, i have to read the book first! I'm super excited! hmm sounds like another post i need to do.

Phew! that was a bit wordy and not at all showy... i promise to post more pictures as i go. Bear with me as i try to learn all the tips and tricks to the blogging world. I hope you enjoyed!

Im a beginner! what can I do ?

Hellooooo!! I am extremely new at this, just found my seat on the bandwagon but hopefully I get comfortable. And excuse me for not knowing my way around, I'm still trying to figure out how to work the site and all these gadgets. I really don't know if I have much to share but we'll see what I can come up with....
