How To Make Snowy Pinecones- Blogmas No. 1- 2017

Hello and welcome to my first Blogmas post-2017🎄! For those of you who don't know, Blogmas is when bloggers write a post every day in December, most of the time with winter/Christmas themes. Vloggers do the same but it's called Vlogmas, instead and they vlog each day!


Anyway, to kick off the Christmas season, I thought I would share with you how to make snowy pinecones. These can be put on a Christmas tree or arranged around the house.

You Will Need:

  • Pinecones
  • White Paint
  • Glitter (your choice of colour)
  • Thread/String/Ribbon
  • Paintbrush
How To Make Them:
First of all, you need to grab your paintbrush🖌 and dip it in a small amount of white paint before turning your pinecone upside down. 
Stroke the paintbrush in one direction (down) the pinecone, to give the impression of snow. 
Before it dries, sprinkle glitter over it, still holding the pinecone upside down.
Let them dry before attaching a bit of ribbon, thread or string to the top so that you can hang them up. I missed out this step and so could you!😊 


Let me know how it went in the comments. 

Stay tuned for more!
Elly😺

January Must Haves 2019

How has your new year been so far? I'm pretty sure I slept through January as I honestly have no idea where it went. This month the weather started gloomy, but then right at the end the sun began to shine a bit longer and light snow not only filled the sky but also covered the paths roads and grass to create many photography opportunities. February is going to be a very exciting month for me and I can't wait to share bits of it with you!  One of my new year's resolutions was to learn more about skincare and improve my routine and my skin itself so as you could tell from my December Must Haves , I had begun a collection of products but January really boosted this and now I have a few more items to share with you. Clearasil and Simple play a big part in this post only because I love both brands so much and they work wonders for my skin! P.s. the best product is the last one so keep reading to find out what it is! Simple Protecting Light Moisturiser In winter I do

September Must Haves

Image
Hey! Yes, I did have a little break- please excuse me! I was very busy working on some very exciting posts to keep you up-to-date with my autumnal antics! 😂 As you might already know, autumn just happens to be my favourite season because of the colours and just the general atmosphere so I was extremely excited to get to work on these posts!  Can we just speak about how it is the end of September already!? It feels like the start was only last week! What did you guys manage to jam-pack into September? This month has been great for collecting stuff to go in my Must-Haves because it has been my birthday! Enjoy! 1. Morphe 350 Nature Glow Palette This has some beautiful earthy colours for autumn; my favourites are the darker browns and slightly orangey tones. All colours are extremely blendable and have great pigmentation- it caught me off guard because I'm used to my palette without much, so I put quite a lot on and it looked as if I'd been punched in the face 😂. I

Hi everybody!!! I am so excited for you guys to see this post because I'm so proud of it! Now, I think it's about the right time to share with you what's in my main makeup bag at the moment. All the items that are shown here, I think, have been featured in previous posts but that was always going to happen anyway because all the items in my makeup bag are ones which I love so I would've recommended them before to you guys! If you do enjoy this, please remember to share with friends!!! Also- just a quick note- instead of linking the products at the bottom of the page, all the green words, you can click on to go to that webpage- tell me if it works! As you can see, in this photo, I have a snippet of my makeup bag showing which is from Next and is a decent size and I just think it's so pretty- it also has a gold 'E' on the front- you can choose the symbol you want. The first item in the bag is my foundation which is the Rimmel London Lasting Finish
