When words fail, music speaks | November 2014

Hello Glitterjunkies!

It's time for another post about all the music I've been loving lately.

I absolutely love doing these, as they are more personal posts.

1. Best Mistake - Ariana Grande ft. Big Sean

This song gives me life. I seriously love this song so much. I constantly catch myself singing it!

You should definitely give it a listen!

2. Shower - Becky G

If I were to be in love, this would be my anthem. I'm not in love, but I do still really like this song. A lot. It's just super catchy and fun!

3. Try - Colbie Caillat

This song lies very close to my heart, as I am a big advocate against bullying.

It has such an amazing message and made me bawl the first time I heard it.

4. All about that bass - Meghan Trainor

This is the anthem for every 'heavy' girl out there. I know that some people think this is discriminating towards skinnier people, but I think that if you truly listen to the lyrics you'll find that she's actually praising all shapes and sizes. Even though it might not look like that at first. :)

5. Title - Meghan Trainor

Another Meghan Trainor song - woops. I just really like her!

This song just screams fun! It actually puts a smile on my face, whenever I hear it!

6. This is how we do - Katy Perry

Katy Perry is my spirit animal. I honestly wish I was as cool as her!

The video is actually amazing and the song is really uplifting!

7. Sweater weather - Debby Ryan

Next up is actually a cover. The original is from a band called 'The Neighbourhood'.

But I prefer the cover by Debby Ryan. I actually think she has an amazing voice and the fact that she just combines this with her ukelele adds to the whole 'magic' around it.

8. You ruin me - The Veronicas

The Veronicas are back and they're hitting all the right notes!

Just give it a listen!

9. Come get it bae - Pharrell Williams

The last song for this post is one that I've been obsessed with for quite some time now,

so I had to include it!

That's all for now, I hope you like this series and feel free to comment your favourite songs down below!

Happy Listening!

Love always

Tea party | 21st Birthday

Hello Glitterjunkies!

You may know if you watch my videos on youtube (go subscribe!) that it was my birthday the other day. I turned 21 on the 27th of September.

To celebrate I asked a couple of friends to come over and we had a proper high tea party. I say high tea and not afternoon tea, because this was at night and it served as our dinner kind of.

Keep reading to see pictures of all the food my mum and me made! :D

the things we made:

~ cinnamon fingers

~ breadmuffin with bacon

~ little pizzas

~ scones with jam and cream

~ croque monsieurs (bread with cheese and ham)

~ brownie

~ mini pavlova with strawberries

~ croissants and pain au chocolat

~ little bread with cheese and carrots

I obviously offered everyone a bunch of different teas as well such as green tea, apple tea, strawberry, peach and a ton of other flavours.

If you would like to see a recipe of one of these items please let me know!

Love always

How I get ready FAST | Video

Hello Glitterjunkies!

It's time for another video!

In this one I show you what hair and makeup I do when I have to get out of the door quickly!

Obviously you could just roll out of bed, put on some clothes and get going. But this is for those days where you do want to look quite presentable.

Click on the picture to be redirected to youtube.

With this I thought I'd give you a few extra tips that you can incorporate in your daily routine so that you can spend those extra 5 minutes in your warm and comfy bed.

1. If you know you don't have a lot of time to get ready the next day, decide the night before what makeuplook you're going to wear and lay it all out at the place where you usually do your beautifying.

2. Don't try and do crazy looks that day. Stick to what you know works for you. If you're not a master at a winged liner, don't do a winged liner when in a hurry. That's just asking for disaster!

3. If you have naturally curly hair and don't like the look of it (like myself) style your hair the night before. I know it sounds weird, but if I straighten my hair the night before, I'll just have to touch it up the next morning.

4. Just run out of time to apply your lipstick? I always have a little mirror in my bag and I usually throw that days lipcolour in there as well. It's easy to apply your lipstick on the go, or even at your destination. Just go to the bathroom or look for a quiet little corner to finish your look.

5. Do your makeup on a day where you do have the time to apply it and then time it. So you have an idea of how long it takes you to get ready. So you know exactly when your alarm has to go off.

6. Shower at night. Seriously, it's so much easier, you just need a quick wash in the morning and it saves you sooooo much time!

These are my tips for getting ready faster on a day to day base. Because we all love an extra minute in our beds!

If you have any tips that I didn't mention in this post, please leave them down below in the comments so we can all start using them! ;)

Love always

Autumn picks | Nails

Hello Glitterjunkies!

Autumn is probably my favourite season for nailpolish wear. Because you can still rock the brighter colours on your fingers as well as going for a darker option.

So today I've collected a few options, to give you some inspiration to change it up.
