DIY Room Storage

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, i made these little storage pots for my room. I was getting the point where I couldn't stand having my pens and little bits all across my desk therefore I made these colourful pots that I just love. 




What you will need: 
Garden Flower Pots- Cleaned or new ones
Scrap Card
Pencil
Scissors
Pain Brush
Acrylic Paints

Step one: Draw round the pot onto some card so you have something for the inside of your pots because mine had little holes where things might of fallen through.

Step two: Cut out the card and place it inside the pot, it doesn't need to be very neat because you won't really see it

Step three: Do a thin layer of white pain over all your pots. My pots were black and brown so doing this just helped the colours stand out a bit more.

Step four: Start paining your pots with your chosen colours. The best method for this was to put a layer on and then leave it to dry. Then put another layer therefore the colours builds up without needing to wait hours for paint to dry.

Step five: After you finished painting with the number of layers that you want; also the paint is completely then you have got your finished pots. Fill them with whatever you want.


One of mine has got my pens and pencils that were just all over my table. Another has my highlighters in, this pot was a bit smaller and fatter therefore it was easier to get them out. Then the other one has just got my make-up in like mascara, eye liner, eye brow pencil, eye lash curlers and a nail file. The little bits that always seem to be harder to find when you are in a rush in the morning.

Hope this has helped you think of a new way to store your stuff. Really fun to make as well if you are just wanting to use your time more productive.

Happy Halloween

Well it's that time of year again when everyone gets their scary make-up out and little trick or treaters start banging on your door. It's Halloween!! This has got to be one of my favourite holidays after Christmas of course.

At Halloween, one of my favourite things to do is crave pumpkins. This year, I decided to do a little scary face and it's so much easier to crave a pumpkin when you have basic shapes to cut out like triangles and rectangles. You can find ideas on google images and found out that pinterest is just flooding with different ideas. I hope you all have a good Halloween and helped you think of a little something to do this year for Halloween.

Don't forget to follow my blog and social media, have a good day!<3

Clothing Wishlist #AutumnBlogging

Hi everyone! Well again, it's the time of the year when all the shops have restocked and brand spanking new clothes! eeek, my favourite thing ever. However, well we all know you can't get every single item that you fall in love with, unless you have the amazingly paid job! So here is my wishlist for this season


It's just an range of goodness that I will be slowly getting throughout the months if I'm lucky!
Firstly, the ankle boots! I cant decided which one to get, I like the ones on the right because they are a little different from what everyone else is wearing but the light brown ones are more girly, so help me pick! They are both from New Look

The bobble hats are a must have for me, I love the ones with the little pom poms on the back. I think they are so cute and the colours are such pretty colours, more autumn colours for me. The green one from TopShop and the cream one is from Riverisland. I prefer the green as I'm liking the darker greens for some reason. 

Meanwhile the skirt is like a pencil skirt that goes just above your knees. I like it because dressing up smart isn't always so fun so I like how there is a pattern in the middle of it, help to look more slimming. While the plain grey jumper with the cable knit in the middle is just so cute and able to wear with pretty much everything; leggings, disco pants, jeans and even a skirt with tights if you want to risk that. These were both from H&M.

The blue dot shirt is from Topshop. I love shirts, a plain pattern shirt. I think it's because I like collars so much and these shirt are more for autumn/winter as they are not sheer so they are a tad warmer. It will look good with high waisted jeans and disco pants.

Lastly, are the joggers and the converse shoes. The joggers are also converse. I've always and I mean always, only worn converse joggers and shoes. This is because their joggers are slim fit and really soft inside but I only wear them in the house or the odd time I'm doing exercise and it's a bit cold. While their converse are just a classic, pretty much can be worn with everything. I'm currently got a white ones but they are getting a bit worn out now.

That is everything that I'm wishing for while looking for a new winter coat so if you know any good ones that are out there, let me know!:) That is it for now, not forget to follow me on here, bloglovin, twitter and everything else! Hope you have a good rest of the day.

Autumn Hair Ideas #AutumnBlogging

Hi guys! I'm hope you are all well, no illness i hope! Always how's school going if you are at school or college? I've been swamped with three assignments already which all need to be in at the end of this week, still haven't finished one. Anyway, I have a few hair ideas for the autumn. Since in Autumn, it's the weather where your hair is attacked by the wind and fog, here is some simple hair styles for you. So here is four really quick and simple hair ideas for you!


 My hair is very long, a tad ombre at the ends! I'm hoping to do it again to make it more noticeable but that day I had my hair straight but added a bit of a wave to my hair with the straighteners for volume and honestly, I don't like my hair completely straight. So here goes, you may need to change it a little bit depending on the lengths off your hair.


Firstly! The curly ponytail. Sorry I took this one today to round it up to four hairstyles and went college like this today. 

I had curly hair today but then it went really windy. It was crazy wind and my hair was just going everywhere. Therefore I put my hair up in a ponytail and I quite liked it. The curly hair makes it perfect for windy and fog weather as the curls loosed through the day, it looked like you styled it that way however when you have straight hair, your hair always seems to go wavy/curly.

Then there is the fish tail braid. I just look this look, specially as you don't need any hot tools unless you need to sort your fringe out or the little bits round the side.

If your hair got more then one colours, natural hair has different tones along with if you have ombred or got highlights, it looks nice as you are able to see the different tones. This is quick and simple plus it's a little different. This is really good if you want your hair out of your way without putting it up completely.

Thirdly, there is the half up, half down look. This is my favourite way to have my hair. Specially for wavy/curly hair, it's the best way to keep most of my hair away from my face but yet keeping down. 

If you got thick hair like me, you will know that bobby pins really do nothing at all in your hair. You need to get these little clips, they are amazing to keeping hold on your hair plus you can get them in different colours. They also help to give your hair a little volume, they are a must need for me!

Finally, the last hairstyle is just the classic doughnut style bun. This is good for rainy days, all your hair is tucked away neatly or tidy, up to you.

As you can see, i have a little ginger bun but this is a good way to give your casual look a smart look. I do this a few times if I'm going out, give it's a smarter and sleek look to your outfit. It looks like you have made more off an effort while you are still wearing your smart/casual outfit. 

That is it for now, hope you all liked it and if you got any more ideas, just let me know! I hope you all avoid the cold that is getting spread round! don't forget to follow me on GFC, bloglovin, twitter and everything else. Byeeee!

Graze Box #Autumn Blogging

Hi guys! Firstly I would like to say sorry that I have already been missed already. It's the thing I hate about Autumn and that is getting a cold. Currently, I have got the worst cold i've  ever had. Well to the point of the blog post, I've got my first Graze Box!


Graze is a website that send you healthy snacks straight to your house, it goes through your letter box so there is no need to wait and sign for it. You get a collection of four snacks and got to admit, it's a pretty good website! It goes straight to your house or even your work place. 

My Thai- This box is a collection of rice crackers, similar to snack a jacks and come with sweet chilly dipping sauce. This is so nice, this was my favourite out of the whole box!

Summer Pudding- This was yoghurt covered sunflower seeds, cranberries, these little things that tasted of cake and some nuts. This was quite nice, i really just ate the cranberries because they were so yummy!

Strawberry milkshake- This was a mix of raisins, dried fruits and a few white chocolate buttons. I basically ate all the white chocolate buttons and some of the dried fruit, it's not as good as I thought though. 

Energy Nuts- This was just a mixed of different nuts, the collection are meant to be really good for you as it was mix of different nuts which are good for your body. I got this for my mum because this is what she likes so if you like nuts, this one for you.

On the website, there is many more yummy snacks. If you want a free snack, use the code 'SHEENA8WP' for a free box. It says you have to sign up for a boxes like every two weeks or week. You say you do and after you get your free box, you just cancel it like I did. Then you get a free box still without signing up for box on box for weeks. Well that's it for now, cya guys!

What I Love About Autumn #AutumnBlogging

Hey Guys! The first post of my big collection of posts. The first thing is what I love about Autumn/Fall. There is a massive list of different reasons why I just love the autumn season and here is a few of my reasons of why I just love it so much:

1. Hot Drinks! 
In summer you really just drink ice cold drinks and slushies to keep your self cool. However in the Autumn, it is all about the hot steamy drinks that you can have. I've already had two hot chocolates from Costa from my college and stocking up on my teas and hot chocolate powder in the house to get my through the colder season. Who just doesn't love a hot chocolate with a massive tower of whip cream topped with melting marshmallows. Just heaven!

2. The return of wooly and cosy clothing
This has got to be my main reason for why I love autumn so much. I'm the girl who loves their big jumpers, knitwear, layering clothes along with hats, gloves and scarves! As it slowly getting a lot cooler, the quick return of the warm clothing is back! I prefer to wear these clothes then crop tops and tiny shorts like other people.

3. The warm tones of colours
The leaves are turning crispy and the warmer tones of leaves start to fall. Overall I think outside just looks nice, blue skies with the cold air with leaves crunching below your feet. Ahhh, that is just the best to me, I love all these parts for sure. It's my favourite time to go for walks, it's always 10 times pretty outside to me in this season. 

4. The Holidays!
In this one season, there is Halloween, Bonfire night and my birthday! All of them events literally all happened in one week. Halloween on the 31st and my birthday on the 7th. What is not like to like about that, dressing up scary or watching scary movies and being able to crave your pumpkins. While you are able to watch the fireworks in the cold night with sparklers in the crisp cold airs. Then it's my birthday, birthdays are all sorts of fun!
The pumpkins from last year, mine is the middle one!
So these are all my favourites about Autumn! Let me know what yours are and any suggestion on what to do for Autumn Blogging! Don't forget to follow me on here, blogloving, twitter and everything else! Soon there will be an Autumn lookbook and a few bits and bobs. Going now, cya you all soon.

Blogging all of Autumn

Hi guys! Firstly I would firstly like to apologise of the lack of posts recently, I have barely blogged anything at all. I've been really busy, settling into college and the last days of summer were crazy. Now that everything has settled down and not as crazy, I'm going to blog everyday of autumn.


Autumn is my favourite type of the year. Even though it's getting darker quicker and getting a lot colder, it's still my favourite time of year from all the woolly clothing comes back out and the warm tones of colours outside. So I'm going to try to blog everyday of autumn(until about the 1st December, even though until the 20th December it's still autumn). Even though there is about 3 people that actually do read my blog, I'm still going to do it. If you have any ideas or anything, just let me know because I know I'm going to run out. 

Well that is all for now, cya soon! Remember to follow my blog, instagram and all that stuff.
