THE HALLOWEEN TAG

Hi everyone! Halloween is right around the corner, so I thought I'd do the Halloween tag. I haven't done a tag in a while, so I thought id give it ago whilst I'm in the Halloween mood. I haven't actually been tagged but life's about doing the initiative so I thought id do it anyway.

 

1. What is your favourite Halloween movie?

I don't have a favourite movie for Halloween, Its usually different every year. However I do like the Corpse's bride but I've only ever seen it once and that was about two years ago.

 

2. If you were in a horror movie, how far would you get?

Usually, everyone in horror movies are really dumb because they go for the options that most likely involve them getting closer to being killed. For instance in paranormal activities, they still live in the house. If that were me, I would move. So I don't think id get that far in a horror movie because I would probably run away straight away.

 

3. What is your favourite Halloween memory?

Pretty much every year we do the same thing, trick or treating. So Halloween in general is a good memory.

 

4. Your best/worst Halloween costume?

I don't really have a worst, I've always been happy with my costumes but I think my favourite was the time I dressed as a doll from a horror movie.

 

5. How do you get into the Halloween spirit?

Halloween/Scary films, pumpkin shopping, making treats ready for Halloween.

 

6.  Favourite Halloween decoration?

Pumpkins! Pumpkins in general are just the key decoration for Halloween.

 

7. Name one unusual thing that your afraid of?

I'm going to pass, on this question. I cant think of anything right now but ill let you know when I can think of one.

 

8. Vampires or Zombies?

Vampires! I'm not a fan of zombies because they're so messy and usually creepily distorted whereas vampires are usually neat and smart. (Judging by movies).

 

9. Werewolves or Ghosts?

Neither.

 

10.Creepy dolls or creepy clowns?

Neither. I hate clowns, they scare me so much that I refuse to go near any or look at any.

 

11.Do you believe in Ghosts?

I believe in nice ghosts, that are relatives that have passed but I don't believe there's bad ghosts.

 

What are you dressing up as this Halloween? Let me know in the comments!

 

So that's the tag, I hope you guys liked it. I tag anyone who wants to do it and happy Halloween. Big kiss! S.

LAST MINUTE HALLOWEEN TREATS

Hi everyone! Todays post is going to be Halloween based as Halloween is so close. I'm a massive fan of dressing up, Trying to scare people (& failing) and watching horror movies, so Halloween is right up my street.

 

So in this post I'm going to be showing you some last minute treats that you could make for a Halloween party, or just to snack on whilst watching a horror movie. They literally take under 5 minutes to make and they're so tasty. Its a win, win!

 

1. The first thing were going to make are some chocolate pretzel bites. You can use whatever chocolate you like, I decided to go with Hershey's cookie & cream and a smarties chocolate block. All your going to do is brake the chocolate into chunks and place them on top of a pretzel. Next you have to put them in the oven until the chocolate has melted. Then take them out to cool and they're ready to go. These are quick and taste super delicious.

 

 

 

2. For the next recipe, all you need Is some food colouring and however many meringues you want. The food colouring doesn't make it taste any different, I just used it for decoration as it is Halloween. But all your going to do is make two big black dots (Eyes) on the meringue using  the food colouring to make them look like ghosts. Done!

 

 

 

 

3. Last but not least, this recipe is just a mix of all your favourite snacks. I used popcorn, pretzels, and some cocktail snacks. You can even add in some sweets or sauce of you like but I didn't have any of around the house so instead I just used these. Your just going to mix them into a bowl (can be a Halloween bowl) and then your done. This is a good recipe if your watching a Horror movie because then you and your friends can just snack from the bowl instead of having to get up from under that blanket to go to the kitchen. 

What are you doing this Halloween? Did you like any of the treats I suggested? Answer in the comments. Happy Halloween. Big kiss! S.

OCTOBER FAVOURITES

Hi everyone! Welcome back, Its time for favourites and were going to go over everything I've been loving this month. This month I've included a blend of things from hair & makeup to home décor. So lets just get into it!

 

As you guys know, I was recently invited to Lush's launch event and I picked up a lot. I did do a haul on everything I bought and then the day after ended up going back for more. Like most girls, I love lush, I love the ingredients, I love the packaging, I love the customer service. When you walk in the store, someone's going to offer you help with in a minute and I'm definitely a person who appreciates that.

 

1.  I was recommended this product and its the 'mask of magnaminty'. Its essentially a mask that is very deep cleansing and you can use it on your body as well, but that's something a haven't done yet. I'll let you know if I ever do! I have been using this mask two times a week and its been keeping my skin really balanced and clean. It just makes my skin feel so soft. The smell is just out of this world, it smells like chocolate chip peppermint and I'm always so tempted to eat it out of the jar. Obviously I haven't done it but the temptation is definitely there! 

2. Sticking to the subject of lush, I bought some old favourites and some new favourites. My all time favourite bath bomb is 'So white' and I actually have 5 of these but I absolutely love the apple smell, and the pink colour it turns your bath. I really recommend this product and I just hope it comes back next Christmas.

3. Another Christmas product I got was 'snow angel'. I originally got this bath melt because I thought it was so pretty and it turned out that its also very moisturising on the skin and just makes your bath feel really luxurious.

 

4.Staying with the theme of Christmas, I recently bought this candle called 'fireside treats' and its the perfect autumn candle. It smells like burning marshmallows by the fire and its so good that I just smell it whenever I walk past.

5. On the more expensive side of candles, I think this was in my last monthly favourites but its the 'Wild mint, peppermint, spearmint and white tea' candle from The White Company. It did cost £30 but I think it was totally worth the hype. This candle just makes you feel nice and relaxed after a long day and that's definitely an essential you should have. 

6. Moving on to beauty, I have been loving these two lipsticks from mac and they are 'Modesty' which is like a pink, brown, a lot like kylie Jenner's and  then the other one is 'Crème d'nude' which is just a nude, tanned colour. They're both very moisturising and seem to last all day. 

7. My 3rd beauty favourite is the body shops 'Absinthe purifying hand cream'. It moisturises really well, conceals odours and just leaves my hands feeling really soft. It smells like mint and Shea butter but I'm not sure if there's actually mint in it but I'll let you know when I find out.    
 

 

8. Going on to home décor, I have been loving this pillow from asda and its just got this adorable fawn on it wearing a red, Christmas hat. Its really soft and comfy and adds some colour to my room. It also puts me in a Christmassy mood.

9. Last but definitely not least, is this app called 'spotify', where you pay £9.99 a month for unlimited music. I recently bought these 'Philips headphones' and they are so comfy. These two make the perfect combo if you want to listen to music whilst on the train or just in your room. If you guys are interested in what music I listen to then ill link my spotify playlist below.

What products have you been loving this month? Let me know so I can try them and here's my spotify playlist... Lifeinthesefastlanes

If this link doesn't work for you then just download spotify, search for 'mingeysgirl' (my username) and then look for my playlist 'lifeinthesefastlanes '. Hope you like it. Big kiss! S.

MUSIC PLAYLIST

Hi everyone! I have the IPhone 5S and the only way to get music is buying them on iTunes. I'm not really a fan of iTunes so instead I replaced it with spotify. Spotify is hands down my favourite app on my phone and I think its actually my favourite app from the entire app store. Basically what it is, is a music player but for £9.99 per month you can get unlimited music instead of paying £1.99 just for one song on the iTunes store. I have a bunch of playlists on there that I just listen to day to day. 

I promised you guys a music playlist quit a while ago and I think its about time I share it with you. I take my headphones/phone everywhere with me whether its to college, a café or just blogging in my bedroom.

So if you guys are interested in what music I listen to, I will link my spotify down below so you can go follow my playlist and keep an eye out for when I update it. There's a blend of music from slow songs to upbeat rap, so without further ado lets head on over to the playlist.

If this link doesn't work for you then just download spotify, search for 'mingeysgirl' (my username) and then look for my playlist 'lifeinthesefastlanes '. Hope you like it. Big kiss! S.

SIMPLE STEPS TO STAY HAPPY

Hi everyone! This post is going to be short and sweet. Are generation focuses so much on peoples flaws and comparing people to models so I just wanted to point out some ways to look past all that.

At least half of you have those nasty mirrors that magnify every single pore, hair or wrinkle and pick out at all the things you'd change about yourself. Am I right? Well, I used to do that a lot until I thought why bother? It doesn't matter if you have a gigantic spot on your forehead or dark circles underneath your eyes, your still perfect.

 

However, if you haven't learnt to deal with it and still get constantly put down then try some of these simple tips...

 

1.Compliment yourself!

This one is a must! Instead of spending countless hours picking out your 'flaws', pick out all your best bits. Are you having a good skin day? Maybe a good hair day? It may seem silly, but it really is important. Take a moment each day to focus on the things you like about yourself because while bangs don't look good on everyone, confidence does. =)

 

2. [Animal of choice] cuddles!

You guys know how much I love my cat and waking up in the mornings with him tucked under my arm/neck puts a smile on my face before I even get out of bed. There's something so comforting about a cuddle, It doesn't have to be a animal, it could be a teddy for all I care.

 

3. Bust some tunes!

I find music always makes me feel better (as long as its not a sad song!). Put some music on and let that inner child out, before you know it you'll be dancing around the house!

(If you don't know any songs that will put you in a good mood comment below if you'd like me to do a blog post based on my music playlist)

 

Did this post help you guys in any way? Would you like me to post a blog based on my music playlist?

Also with Halloween just around the corner, let me know if you guys would like me to do anything Halloween based?
  Let me know in the comments because I love to read them! =) Big kiss! S.

TODAYS EATS

Who has not heard of this little gem? (If you haven't, well you have now). 

Every Thursday I have a three hour break between my classes and It wasn't till lately that i decided to make it part of the routine to go for a full english breakfast. 

When I was younger my mum would take me to this little cafe around the corner called 'Harveys' so that we could get their famous milkshakes. I honestly forgot how good they were! Harvey's is just a little family cafe hidden around the corner but they do the best full english breakfasts. 

Hope you've found this interesting,  let me know if you like this 'Todays eats' post and i'll keep them up! Big kiss! S.

OOTD 20/10/14

Monday 20 October 2014

Hi everyone! Two of my most popular posts are the OOTD's I did for summer. So I thought I'd give them another go but  this time for autumn. 

This outfit is very casual, mostly because of the colour scheme. The top I'm wearing has a bold print that likes to play with your eyes so I wore a camel coloured coat to tone it down. And to match it to the rest of the outfit I rolled up the sleeves aswell as my trousers. 

Big kiss! S.

MONDAY MORNING INSPIRATION

Monday 6th October 2014

 

Hi everyone! Its a new week and a new month. This month has probably been one of the busiest yet,  I've been catching up with college work, attending beauty events and just trying to get back into my blogging routine. Coffee has been my go to wake up call this month because staying up late working and then having to get up early for college is not giving me enough sleep. So some Monday inspiration is definitely needed, I just went on the hunt for a few images and these are what I found...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go check out my latest blog posts, is you want to see what's been keeping me so busy. I hope you were inspired by this post and thank you for reading. Big kiss! S.
