DIY with E : The Many Uses of a Used Coffee Pot!

Hell-O Lovelies!

How has your Sunday been? Are you nice and relaxed? Or doing a weekly shop? Either way, I hope you're enjoying it! So, today I wanted to post about something relating to DIY and being creative because lately I have been and I wanted you, yes YOU, to get creative too! In the last month or so, I've found so many used coffee jars around the house and I wanted to do something with them. So, I thought why not use them for storage! The ideas in my mind then started to become into reality...

The steps of making a clear coffee jar is extremely easy! All you really need to do is put a normal coffee jar (still having the paper of the logo on the jar) into a bowl of hot/boiling water then leave it in there for half an hour minimum. Then when the time is up, start pealing off the paper and the glue. If all of it doesn't come off, put it back into the water for another 10-20 minutes.

When all of the paper and glue has come off of it, you can either decorate it like this with paints:

or just leave it clear. Your choice!

These little and big jars are so handy! Especially, if you have run out of room to things things away, like me! I used them for things such as nail vanishes, makeup brushes, money and candles!

 

I hope this idea comes in use for you! I would love to hear and see what you've put in yours! You know where to find me! 

See You Soon!

Wishlist for Skin Care: March Edition

Hello my Lovelies!

How has your day been today? Or if your day hasn't started yet, have a great day! Today, I will be telling you my wishlist for this month and it will be specifically for skin care as I am in need for new skin products as I am running out. I would love it if you told me your opinion on these products if you do own them and what you rate them!

THE SKIN PRODUCTS:

Sanctuary Skin Radiance Exfoliator 

I've heard good things about this exfoliator! To be honest, this is the first time I've wanted to use something from this brand, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Wash

Lately, I've been having a few spots breaking out and I always seem to go back to this brand because it makes my skin really good! But, I haven't tried this certain product before so this will be interesting as well!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I've been wanting this product for a while now and I've had so many positive recommendations of this and been told that it is awesome!

L'Oreal Triple Active Toner

This is another product that I've been wanting try for a while too! This looks amazing and the reviews of this have been so good so far! 

I am so excited to be able to try all of these products! They all look very professional and will hopefully work like wonders on my skin. I will keep you all updated of when I've brought these products and I will give you my honest opinion on them. 

Until next time. I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

My Night Routine!

Hello Everyone!

Happy Friday! It's finally the end of the week once again! I must say, that these weeks are flying by so quickly! Ah!

Anyway, today's post is about my night routine. I wanted to do this ages ago but kept forgetting! So here it is:

Night Routine

After I have my dinner, I like the evening to be my time to be able to relax and let my mind turn off for a while from the day that I've had. So like any other teenage, I go up to my room and turn on the TV. I normally watch something like The Big Bang Theory, which I find absolutely hilarious! While watching I will browse through Twitter, Facebook and Bloglovin to see what is happening in the world of the internet and the latest beauty tips. 

When the show is finished, I like to write in my diary any thoughts or ideas for the blog and I sometimes like to write down how I felt that day and my little problems that I had. It always makes my feel calm and relaxed. I then like to answer the day's question in Q&A Journal, I've must of said about this little book so many time now, haha!

Around 8 o'clock, I then start to get into my pajamas or comfortable clothes, so if I do fall asleep I won't be in my day clothes (I've done this so many times before!) When I finally feel comfort, I go into the bathroom and do my skin regime. I always start by cleaning my teeth as I don't want any of the skin creams to come off when I wipe my mouth. Secondly, I use the Skin Therapy Cleansing Lotion - this is a Wilkinson's brand and is actually quite good, I put some of this onto a cotton wool or a paper towel and wipe it on my eye lids and around my face, this removes all of makeup so well and doesn't make my eye sore afterwards. After this, I then wash my face with good old soap and water. Next, I moisturise my face with the Nivea Pure & Natural Moisturising Day Cream, I know that this says day cream but I also use it as a night cream because I just think it's that good, haha. I've used this for so long now and it lasts forever! Lastly, I use the Quinoderm Cream which is used for spots and it works like a dream. As I get quite bad breakouts sometimes, I always use this and the spots disappear within days! 

Then before jumping into bed and reading my book, I always like to fill up my water bottle with water as I like to keep hydrated through out the night, and I generally just like water. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my night routine! Now you all know a little more about my life and the products that I use within it! Hahaha. 

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading.

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Girly Night In vs Girly Night Out.

Hi Everyone!

How is everyone's Wednesday been so far? Haha. Unfortunately, I am currently not feeling too great but I still have the strength and effort to do a blog post! Especially as it's Girly Talk Wednesdays! Woop woop!

So, the topic this week is Girly Night Out vs Girly Night in, us girls all like both of these kinds of nights. With or without friends. Either way, it's fun!

To start us off then, a girly night out - A girly night out normally contains going out with your girlfriends and hitting the clubs or just going a restaurant, both ways, you want to nice and glamorous. You may buy a nice knee height dress with a pair of heels that make you taller than you should be. Then, with your hair, you could go many ways with it. Such as, curling or straightening it - us girls normally go for something that is the opposite of what we normally do with our hair, sometimes with even experiment with our hair and see how it turns out. After deciding on what to do with our hair, you tend to put a lot, and i mean A LOT, of hairspray on! So, this can keep our hair looking the same as we did when we left for the night out. Lastly, makeup! With makeup, we do like to go big. We mostly focus on the eyes. So, we tend put on smoky dark colours - these could be colours such as navy blue, dark blue, black - but sometimes when we are going to the clubs, we tend to put light and vulnerable colours on such as baby blue or pink. Going back to the smoky eye look - we top it off with thick mascara or as most girls like to do, false eyelashes - this actually makes the eyes look fully and thicker. We can actually sometimes add some eyeliner too, thick or thin, both ways it works. We normally then go for a natural kind of foundation cover, as I've said before, we focus more on the eyes. Finally, we add lipstick. I personally recommend putting lip balm on first before putting on the lipstick as it keeps your lips moist throughout the night. With the lipstick colour, we put on a darker colour like dark red - so, it matches the smoky eye look. But if you are going for the lighter look, we would put on a light pink or a hot pink on.

Next, we have the girly night in - this can be with or without friends. Both ways, it's enjoyable! Out of the two - this is my favorite! I love my little nights in where I can just relax and be myself and not worry about looking my best. So, my girly nights in are normally consisted of junk food and my favorites movies! I throw my comfortable clothes on so if I do end up falling asleep I won't be in jeans or anything that I don't want to get crinkled. Then while watching the movies, I would browse through twitter and Facebook and check on my blog. With friends, you can do the exact same! You and your girlfriends can gossip, catch up and have a great laugh! With makeup - honey, ain't nobody got time for that! - DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOOKING GOOD WHEN YOU ARE CHILLING! That is a motto I live by!

I hope you liked this little post today! And tell me, what are you most likely to do? Go out or stay in? Tell me in the comments or tweet me at @theycallmeezza. Also, hopefully you'll be able to relate to what I've just written.

Little announcement - unfortunately, this will be the last of #GirlyTalkWednesdays, but only for a while. I just want to do some normal posts and tick off some of the things that I want to write on this blog. I hope you don't mind! Hahaha.

Anyway, until Friday. I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

What I Want to do More of...

Hello my little ducks! (My love ducks, aw)

Here we are once again! It's Monday! The day of the week that we all hate the most! Haha! How was your weekend? Was it good? Enjoyable? or completely the opposite? Do tell!

If you don't follow Tanya Burr's blog (I don't see a reason why you wouldn't?!) you would know that last week, she did a blog post about 10 things that she wants to do and I thought it was an amazing idea and it actually got me thinking of the things I want to do and the things of what I want to do more of. So, here it is!

My top 10 things of what I want to do and what I want to do more of:

1. Drink More Water: 

I know that a lot of people say this but it's true! I really want to start drinking more water! Personally, I think it makes you think and feel more healthier and more open minded! It especially helps with the skin as it releases all of the cells within the skin that are made from water and it prevents you from having dry and flaking skin. And ITS JUST PLAIN GOOD FOR YOU!

2. Take More Photos:

I must, MUST, start taking more photos of when I go out with family or friends as I like to cherish the moments with the people in my life and I love looking back on a certain memory and say to myself 'that was a good day'. 

3. Save!

Like the first point, I think this is on everyone's list unless your a brilliant saver! I need to start saving money as I tend to go and spend it on something I don't need and probably will never ever use!

4. Plan Day Trips with Friends:

My friends and I are always talking about places to go at the weekends and in the holidays and the thing is that we never actually do them! Everyone is always excited and enthusiastic when we talk about, for example, going to Brighton or London, but we never tend to do those things and, personally, I would love to go and explore with my friends because I know for sure we would have the best time ever!

5. Be More Confident about Taking Risks: 

I am not a risk taker. At all. Never have been. But lately, I've been wanting to try things which are a little risky. Mostly because of my parents and friends, who, I think, would judge me about it but I then realise that they would never judge me on anything! So, in general, I need to be more confident about doing activities and things. Such as this blog! Great example! I literally thought I would get judged by doing this blog! I told my friends that I did this and they support me. I told my parents and they support me even more and want to help me with the whole beauty industry! It's amazing! Another thing that I could relate to this is to stop worrying about other people and what they would think. I need to learn to go for my own ideas. So, yeah. Go with your own ideas! Other people may think that they are not good but if you think they are good then go for it! What is stopping you?!?

6. Explore More Options for the Future:

Lately, I've been thinking of what I want to do in the future. Do I want to go to Uni and do radio? Or do I just what to start working and go into the beauty industry? Both of these topics are the things that I love the most and it's hard to chose between them. But, which one would I enjoy better? Beauty or Radio? It's such a hard decision! If you have any advice for me, please do leave it in the comments below or tweet me at my twitter or even email me. 

7. Mediate:

This might be a bit of a funny one but, you know when you come home from a long hard day and all you want to do is relax. Well, in my case, I want to start mediating again. I use to absolutely love it! I use to do it everyday but I started to fade anyway from it. But I will start doing it again and I'll keep you all updated!

8. Read More:

I love to read! Love it! But lately I just haven't been doing it and to be honest, I miss it. I'm always busy and don't have time to read. I use to read before I go to sleep but now, as soon as my head reaches the pillow, I go straight to sleep! I hate it!

9. Organise Clothes:

I am always putting off orgainsing my clothes! I have so many clothes that I can easily throw away but I don't bother doing it and it annoys me like hell! I hate having a messy wardrobe and knowing that there are clothes that I don't wear anymore, just hanging there! I cannot stand it!

Finally, 10. Cherish Every Minute of Life:

I've learned a lot in my 16 years of living and one of them is that I don't cherish life as much as I should do. I am an extremely happy person but I don't always seem to be thankful of it. I want to be able to wake up every morning and say 'hey, I'm alive, well, happy and excited about the day ahead of me'. 

So, that is it for today! I hope this has given you things to think about and what you want to achieve or do more of! If you do end up doing a post like this, please tell me and I will read it and share it! Haha. 

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading.

February Favorites!

Hello Lovelies!

Cheesy hello there. How has everyone's week been? Can I just say, THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! I've been wanting and waiting for this day to come all week! I just want a lay in...you know? I've been so tired this week, I've literally never been so tired! Utter craziness!

Well, onto the point of this post. Today, I will be doing my first ever monthly favorites! Yay! I have been so excited to do this as I've had so many good little purchases this month! And I am very excited to be able to share them with you all.

So, at the beginning of the month, I really wanted a new eye shadow palette as my old one was worn and I just needed some new colours in my life that actually suited me! So, I brought the MUA Eye shadow Palette Heaven and Earth. I love this so much! I haven't gone a day without wearing it, I find it so natural and just perfect if you don't want to look extreme with your eye makeup! Recommend so much! Click here to check it out!



My next need of purchases was my fabulous makeup brushes! I absolutely love these brushes! It has every brush that you can think of and it is so amazing for when you want to really experiment or look professional with your makeup. It is 32 piece set and it is by Vanz. I've never heard of this brand but I was desperate for some brushes and they looked really good and had positive reviews, so I thought just go for them! And not a single regret! One of my best purchases ever! Have a look here if interested!

I was having a look around on Amazon, I came across this adorable little Q&A Journal, then I remembered that BubzBeauty had this and she really recommended it to her viewers and oh my goodness, it is just so so cute! Every day, you get asked a question that you have to answer at the end of the day and it just makes you think about what happened that day or the last time you did something. For example, today's question was 'When was the last time you was sick?' And I answered 'Christmas Time'. As this is a 5 year journal, you answer the same questions on that day for 5 years and it lets you look back on what your wrote the year before. I really enjoy it! If you are too interested, link is here!

Another makeup product that I actually recently brought is the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Foundation. I am in love with this foundation! It's got good coverage and covers the little blemishes on my face, which I always love! This is my first foundation that I have brought other than the Natural Foundation. And can I just say that the price of this was only £3.00! I was so lucky to get on sale in Superdrug! Thank you Superdrug! This is also a really good starting foundation for people that are just starting to use and experience makeup, I really REALLY recommend this! Get it here! Now! I mean it. 

Another recent purchase I have made is the John Frieda Shampoo - Colour Protection. This is amazing on my hair especially as I've just dyed it. This keeps the colour in your hair in longer than normal shampoo would do. Weird point but it smells good! It smells like strong soap..(duh, Erin) but a good smell of soap, you know? I enjoy this a lot! I actually need to buy the conditioner of it too, so little hint of what will be on next month's favorites. Haha. Have a look here if you want too!

I always like the smell of candles in my room, especially Yankee Candles! I can not get enough of them! They smell so incredible! And last for ages! The recent one that I've brought is called Vanilla Cupcake and it smells so much like cupcakes that it makes me hungry! I find it so relaxing as well, I always like to come home from a busy day at school or work and go upstairs to my room, put some relaxing music on and light the candle and mediate, it makes me feel so calm. I must say, Yankee Candles are my latest obsessions, I love the smell of them so much! Ahhh! If I was you, I would purchase one for just relaxation - click here to get one!

For fun, I brought one of my favorite films, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. I am so relatable to Bridget sometimes with the things she does and says! I find her incredibly funny! So you all don't get confused, this is the second film of the two but they are both amazingly funny! I find fascinating how Renee Zellweger had to prepare for these films and what she had to learn and do to be perfect for the role. She is officially one of my favorite actresses! If you want a copy, check it out here on Amazon.  

We have come to the end of the favorites! Wayhey! I hope you've enjoyed reading what I liked and brought this month, believe me there will be a continuous series of monthly favorites! I also hoped I've made you interested in these products and you go ahead and buy them! Tell me in the comments below or on my social medias that you have as I would love to know. Also, tell me what YOUR monthly loves are this month! I'm always nosy to know! Haha.

Time to say goodbye and I'll see you next Monday!

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading.

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Insecurity

Hello Everyone!

Here we are, once again, with the wonderful segment of #GirlyTalkWednesdays! Wayhey!

So, this week, we are getting a little more serious and deeper with our inner selves. Today, I am talking about insecurity. Every girl has there own little insecurities, some may show them and some may not but we all have them.

There's something in life that makes us have these little moments of insecurity, this could be after seeing something in the media - like magazines or social websites, that make us look at ourselves and want to be the glamorous person that we've just seen. It's hard. I know. I have those days where I see someone or look at some girl that has the perfect slim stomach with perfect thin thighs and I think that I wish I was them or I looked like that. But we need to think that we are special in our way. We were made not to look identical to each other (unless your a twin) and to have our own little marks and sparks that make us who we are.

One of the hardest things, that I think, are getting over the insecurity and thinking more positive about who we are. I mean, we can change what we look like physically by just being healthy with our lifestyle and thinking more about the consequences if we don't exactly follow that healthy life.

We need to stop comparing ourselves to these women with 'perfect' bodies and personalities and start to think how unique we are and how amazing our life is and can be if we just stayed happy and relaxed and stop worrying about what other people think. This is also one of the main reasons why girls AND boys get insecure because we always think that we getting judge by others just by the way we dress, look and act. Express yourself. I literally don't care about what anyone thinks of me as I like to do my own thing and let my weirdness run free because that's who I am and unfortunately I don't want to change that and to be honest, I probably won't ever change that. I'm happy. Are you? That's a question I want you to ask yourself. Are you happy? Happy with life? Happy with what your doing? And mostly, are you happy being you? Please go ahead and tell me YOUR answers to these questions because I would love to know. Also, another quick question, how do you express yourself? Is it in front of people or alone in your bedroom? Believe me, there is no law against you of being yourself out in public. Go crazy. I dare you!

I hope this post has made you think about you and the little insecurities in your life. Are they worth it?

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG!

Happy Monday Everyone!

So, today I got tagged in the Procrastinating Beauty Blogger tag by the wonderful Oodles of Rae, thank you very much and I will link her blog at the end! 

On to the rules:

1. You must copy and paste these 'rules' onto your post when you write it, it doesn't take long!.

2. You must state that this tag was created by 'The Beau Bow' and link www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com

3. You must thank the person who tagged you at the start of your post (link their blog as well) -follow them if you're feeling nice!, and then at the end of your post state who you tag, and then comment on their blog on their latest post to let them know you tagged them, and link your post so they can see what to do.

4. Title this post 'The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG' so everyone knows what it is about.

5. Have fun! :)

Questions: 

1. Name a beauty regimen that you rarely do? 

I had to think about this one as I always do what is recommended to me. But I think the thing I rarely do is that I don't moisture my face in the morning as I'm sometimes in a rush, this is normally in the weekdays but on the weekends, I would always do it.

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something that you do regularly?  

I wash my makeup brushes every weekend because I hate knowing that I have grease or used makeup within them. It's always been a think that I don't like. So, yeah, every weekend.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

I am absolutely terrible with chipped nail polish! As soon as it starts chipping, I start to pick the nail vanish off of my nails and I know that is the worst thing to do! Especially for my nails as they can strain if I do that.

4. How long will you put off buying/replacing beauty or nail product even if you need it?

Erm..to be honest, I don't really worry about replacing products if I'm not in need of it and if it isn't something that I always use. But, if I was in need of the product, so this would normally be foundation or mascara, I would have to buy it that upcoming weekend as I can't really live without those main makeup products!

5. What is you worst beauty habit?

To be honest with you all, I don't really have a beauty habit. As soon as I put on my makeup in the morning, I won't tend to touch my face for the rest of that day until I have to wash it off  in the evening as I don't want to mess it up. 

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time:

I always, ALWAYS, put off doing cleaning my bedroom and I do sometimes put off doing my coursework which I should not do at all! 

7. When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not? 

I never ever leave getting ready to the last minute! EVER! I like to be organised and feel ready for the day, so I would literally get ready an hour or so before going out. 

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

I had to laugh at myself when I read this question. I am horrible at saving money! As soon as I get money, I have the need to go and spend it! But, I am trying to learn how to save at the moment, so maybe I will start getting better and start to commit!

9. How organised is your makeup and nail polish collection?

At the current time, nothing is organised and it's kind of killing me! Haha. Normally, I have all my nail polishes organised in colour and I put them into a box so they don't unorganised themselves when I'm moving things around. My makeup brushes are put in used coffee mugs (doing a DIY post about it later this week) and I have separated them into big brushes and small brushes. Then I normally just keep my makeup in my makeup bag because I take it with me when I go out and sometimes when I go to school.

10. What is the longest amount of time you have gone without writing a blog post?

Well, I've only just started blogging, so I haven't gone without writing a post yet.

I hope you enjoyed this tag! 

The beauty bloggers that I tag are:

prettychitchat

jonnaloves

haysparkle

lippylikes

Have fun girls! Haha. 

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading.

A Little Thank You.

Hi Everyone,

How has everyone's week been? Good? Grand! Haha. So, today I just want to say a little thank you to everyone that has been supporting me and making me feel welcome into the beauty/blogging community. I would never think that I would have nearly 20 followers and I've only just started! I know it doesn't sound a lot but it is to me. I guess, in life I have never really felt like I belong into a group or into a community like this. But now I do and I am so thankful of it! I've talked to so many great bloggers along the way too and they've been very helpful and supportive!

So. Once again, thank you. Thank you for reading. Thank you for taking notice of this little blog of mine. This is just the beginning of a beautiful journey of the blog life and I hope you will come along with me!

That's it for this week, until next time. You're beautiful and thanks for reading.

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Periods!

Hi Everyone,

How has your day been today? Do tell! Anyway! I should say, welcome! To the first post of the series Girly Talk Wednesdays, this is when I will be talking about...how would you say it....girl stuff? So, I will be either directly to the female reader or I will be telling the male reader of what to expect when girls go through these stages of life. Oh yep, hold on to your hats for a bumpy ride! haha.

Today's topic is quite an easy topic but it's also a way of understanding the whole 'time of the month' thing. So, to start it off I'm just going to say that every single woman on Earth HATES that time of the month! Believe me, it's the most stressful time for all girls as we have different emotions that hit us at any time of the day and this happens for a whole week! Then, the cramps happen. Not every girl may have a cramp every month but when they do, it hurts like hell! So men, I advise you to stock up on ice cream, chocolate, blankets and soppy films when you know your female other is on her time of the month, cause they're gonna need it!

Then comes the headaches! Oh yes! Headaches. Oh, how I hate them so so much. Headaches are literally always around the corner during that week. So, I always take paracetamol with me so whenever I do get a headache I just 2 of those and I'm normally okay after that. Then I may take another 2 after 4 hours as it is advised too.

For us girls, we need to take that week nice and easy and not stress ourselves out more than we already are. I always give myself a little pamper evening so I can relax and just chill out. In my pamper evening I always include a face mask, a unhealthy snack - even if you are trying to stay healthy and clean of junk food, you can not say no when your on your monthlys. I also include a light hearted film or a Disney film, which I always end up watching. This does the trick for me as then I don't feel washed out or moody for the rest of that evening.

As us ladies do like our clean skin and pimple free skin, we always tend to go mental on facial products as we try so hard to get rid of these dirty vermins off our faces. So, I recommend, as I've said before, a face mask, this unleashes your pores and takes out the oiliness in your skin. I also steam! This is such a good trick and it's also a classic one as it does the exact same as a face mask would do but it's completely free! All you need is a bowl of boiling hot water and a towel which you put over your head when you are leaning over the bowl so you don't let any steam escape. I normally put a few drops of tea tree oil in it as well so it will cleanse and make the face feel more moist. Afterwards, I would massage the steam that is on my face then pat dry with a towel.

Hopefully, this has been a little bit helpful towards you lady readers and also given the male readers a heads up! Before I do go, I have to say I applaud every single woman for getting over this horrible time of the month!

Anyway, time to go! You're beautiful and thanks for reading! BYE.
