bloggers block/ reflective monday (its not monday)

Hello there,

I know I haven't published in quite a while. I've been buys with school, changing bedrooms and just the fact that i had no idea what to write about. as you can see the title of this post is 'bloggers block/ reflective monday' you may recognise the title from a popular blog, zoella. The other day i was reading her blog when I came across her blog post called 'Life updates and bloggers block', and also 'reflective monday'. In that post she just wrote out what she was doing at the moment ex. She had wrote about her reaching 1 million subbies on youtube an her trip to Florida. As my life is very boring since my blog is quite unpopular and how I'm still in school and a bunch of other thing, I'm just going to write about anything...

As you know just the other day it was Christmas! I was very pleased as the gifts i had received were marvellous! I'm also a little sad and happy about Christmas being over. I'm going to miss all the decorations and people in the Christmas spirit. I'm also a little happy, ( i know right shocker right there!) all though i will miss a lot about the Christmas season I wont miss the traffic the packed malls and the Christmas parties keeping me up till 1am. Now I can go to sleep at 10 or 11pm and get a full 8 hours of sleep so the next day at school i wont fall asleep in science class! ( Its happened...) 

As I am counting down the days to Christmas 2014 I'm also counting down the days to Feb the ! I'm going to t the Imagine dragons concert!!! I know Imagine dragons isn't every ones cup of tea, but to me and my friends they are one of our favourite bands. As I am not going alone I will be going with a group of  friends, Emily, Gabby, Julia and Aya.

Well now I cant think of any thing more to write. Thanks for reading! Hope you have a great day!

Getting in the winter spirit

Hello, 

As you probably know it is almost winter and when winter starts its time to bring out the Christmas decorations. A few blog posts ago i wrote about Autumn and i thought i should do one for winter but of course a little different.

I when on my tumblr and found a few of my favourite winter/Christmas pictures.

This video is by macbarbie07 and she shows a few DIYs for Christmas

Ways to get into the Christmas spirit

• decorate your room! go on pintrest or were every you go to get ideas on decorating and decorate the crap out of your room, house, apartment were ever you want!
• Turn on some Christmas music! from 'all I Want For Christmas is You' to 'Chestnuts'! ( And sing along if you want!)
• Bake a batch of Christmas cookies! it doesn't have to bee cookies but something christmasey!
• I know this will not be for every one but, go to Starbucks and get a Christmas drink! I think with the red Christmas cup and the hot drink your drinking makes me feel a little more involved with Christmas
• Buy an advent calender or make some count down to Christmas 
• read some Christmas books. there a wide variety, fro the grin to the night before Christmas, from a Christmas coral to the polar bear express!
• Get out of the house! go down to the mall and pick out something christmasey! breath in the crisp winter air!

Hope this helped,

winter make-up

Hello,

If you didn't already know this years winter make up look is pretty similar to falls look.

 The trends are nude or bold lip colours but not pinks and orange's but red and fuchsias. 

For eyes, neutral eye shadows (if any at all) are best, and of course winged eye liner. ( i would chose the naked basics pallet since the colours and nice and simple)

For face the flawless skin is back in, make sure you don't go crazy with bronzer and blusher and just focus on covering the redness and blemishes.

And always make sure that your make up isn't  bad colour for winter. for winter like i said don't go for bright colours, but if you still wanna go with a bright make up look go for a silver.

Hope this helps,

Mina

Winter fashion

Hello there,

You probably don't know this but i live in a small town next to Vancouver, so when fall and winter come it gets pretty cold out side. Vancouver (Canada in general) is very famous for its winter wear and a lot of people from around the world come here to buy the great winter wear we produce. (That was just a little fun fact for you) 

This year in the Vancouver area, the winter style has been pretty strait forward. for women it has been simple bottoms and shoes and layering on the top. (ex. a knit sweater and a vest over it) For men it was basically the same as women. layers ad basic bottoms. scarfs have also been in but there really popular for men this winter. earthy tones are in for women but also rich colours too.

And just to b clear this style isn't just for Vancouver its in a bunch of places. And another trend is to wear plaid, when you layer you can through on a plaid blouse and hen put on a wooly cardigian. 

Hope this helps, Mina

Blogs i've been enjoying

The reason I started this blog was because I was reading a lot of other blogs. either from tumblr or just I blog I

stumbled upon. I read quite a few blogs but i have to say i do have two favourites. My 2 favourites blogs at the moment are zoella and sprinkle of glitter.
http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/

http://www.zoella.co.uk/

Sprinkle of glitter

Louise (sprinkle of glitter) was one of the first blogs I ever discovered. I love her blog posts because she always posts the best of the best. Louise's posts a variety of things but they are mostly about beauty, style and life style. I love her beauty posts the best because they are very well written and always the best thing for the season. I also love her youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/Sprinkleofglitter) she posts mostly the same as her blog (but in video form) and posts daily vlogs on her second channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/SprinkleofChatter). Check out her blog at http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/ . hope you like her blog as much as i like her blog. and remember to check out her youtube channel too!

Zoella

Zoe (zoella) was a blog I found out about because she is sprinkle of giltters best friend. After finding her on Louise's blog i checked hers out and i fell in love with it! she posts really cool tings lie how to d.i.y. ombre your hair (which i thought was really uniqueblog post) and just beauty related things. she also has a youtube channel too! like Louise she posts fashion and beauty, and has a vlog channel too! cheak out her main channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390 and her vlog channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/MoreZoella

Hope you have fun checking them out!

My favoutrite beauty products for autumn

Fall is here and you don't want your make up to look autumnal!

For fall time i prefer lip stains and linted lip balms rather than lip sticks. the reason is in the fall you lips will get dry and some lip sticks really dry out your lips.

One of my favourite lip balms for fall are the ones from Burt's bees. they can be a little pricey because it is all natural, ( a cheaper option could be baby lips) 

I have quite a few of the Brut's bees lip shimmers, ( for a lighter colour go for there lip balms) they have surprisingly deep colours, so if you want a lip balm but a lot seem to have too little colour go for lip shimmer by Burt's bees

I love having blushers for the fall time because it make you look like you've been out side and gives off a out doorsey look. For Autumn i prefer plum colours or deep pinks and maybe a red, but you sould put away all your hot pinks and corals. one of my favourite blushers for the season would definitely be the 'dreamy bouncy blushes' for maybelline. for fall Ive been using 'flashy fusha' and the darker ones.

uslley for fall i don't use much  eye shadow but I've really been loving the naked basics pallet. the colours are all neutral. (which i love for fall) they are all mate colours so its not much of a intense look. (which again i love for fall)

The mascara i've been using is the 'rocket volume' in browish balck to have a softer look for fall. I also prefer the water proof one because it contains wax which helps the mascara hold the eye lashes shape better.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post! have a great autumn!

Fall colors

 Fall is here so get out your fall things!!!

I know a little late

Me in my favourite hat.
The picture on instagram: http://instagram.com/p/eQ0iHhNuZr/



Fall is my favourite season, the vibrant colours, the crunch of the leaves under your feet, warm socks and scarfs. There are so many reasons to love fall!

But one of the sad thing about the fall is that you have to say good bye to all those bright corals, hot pink and deep fushas. But when you put those bright colours away you can pull out all our deep reds, your nude colours (that are also great all year round ) and light your scented candles to warm up the place and make it have a wonderful aroma of Cinnamon and spice! Mmmmmmm... 

My tips for the fall time

• Decorate your room for the fall time! If you would like you can make it all Halloween and have little plastic spiders hanging from your ceiling or have little bats tapped to the side of your bed. And if you just wanna go for a classic fall theme, grab some browns red oranges and dark greens! Those colours can be used for any thing, you could have some white curtains and sew (or glue on ) some fake leaves. You could also just through on some fall coloured pillows on to your bed and light a candle or two.
• My second tip is connected to the first, My tip is to go on pintrest it might not be for you but i sure do love going on pintrest to seek cool ideas for the season 
• Don't go too crazy with your make up! Autumn is the time of year when simple make up is in, so brace the moment and don't put on a lot of make up! it Also saves time.
• In Autumn a lot of peoples skin starts to get dryer! so my tip to you is always put on moisturiser! even if it isn't in your every day routine, you can probably weave it in just for fall and winter ( If you have time go out and buy  some faces masks, they help a lot!
• Paint your nails autumnal coulors, I love having bright colours on my nails but for the fall time go for wine reds, olives, and dark oranges. (Go for the orange if you can! i could never rock a colour like that!)
• this tip is a little similar to another tip, Like your skin your hair can get dry too! moisturise your hair! (every Day if you have to) Put on a hair mask once a week and like I said moisturise when needed!
• This is related to my 3rd tip but don't go crazy with the make up! If you really want to go for the fall colours like brown and greens instead of blues and pinks.
• This tip ids for you if you have super health hair and like to die it a lot. instead of dying your hair bleach blond go for a sandy or dirty blond and if you want to maybe a brown or red colour.
• This last tip for you is a must! GO for the fall colours instead of spring or summer colours!!! Trust me you you don't want to be the only one wearing a bright pink coat when every one else is wearing dark greens, brown and purples. Just don't go for the bright colours! but if you really do love your bright colours go for a red coat because red is a great colour for fall and if you love those bright colours it perfect for you!

Hope those tips helped and hope you have a great fall

Part 3 

On Sunday morning we left the hotel in Victoria and when to a bus stop at 6:20 am. We waited and waited and waited but the bus didn't come. when it was around 7:00 It finally came so we could go to the ferry terminal. I could see alto of people were upset because the bus was suppose to come at 6:36. When we got on the ferry going back to Pender I was so bored. When my sister and i when to the TV room there was nothing that we hadn't already watched. When we arrived we said hi and did some stuff. When it was around midnight we when out to there lake and my sister marina my aunt and I all jumped in. you can see a picture of me when I we just about to jump in. http://instagram.com/p/dglMJ0tudM/ when we can out after swimming for awhile we had to feel our way up to our house because we had come unprepared and we didn't think of bringing a flash light. after getting back to the house we all had showers and fell asleep.

The next day was the day we had to leave so we packed up our stuff said good bye and headed home.

Part 2

On the second day I went to nature camp with my cousins. It was pretty fun. Every one met up at the school and after attendance we went on a bus down to a beach. that day we walked down the beach and at our last stop Marina and a Japanese boy named shinto jumped into the freezing cold salty sea water. After jumping in 3 times and splashing me on the second time we walked away from the beach and when to a cliff were we had magic spot time. magic spot time is when to leaders give you a note book and you get 30 minutes to relax sit on the cliff and just chill out. after that we walked down a small trail and when on the bus to go back to the school. at the school my aunt picked us up and we when home. when we got home we had a snack and jumped into the lake. After swimming for awhile we watched some tv and around 6:00 we when to go pick up my sister Maya at the ferry terminal but it was late instead of coming at 6:15 it came at 7:30!!! so then my aunt drove me and marina down to a friends place to chill for an hour, then they invited us over for dinner tomorrow and we gladly said yes. after that we picked up my sister and drove home.

On the 3rd day was the last day of nature camp and my sister was apparently too cool to come with us. Like every other day every one met up at the school and we walked down to a pond. At the pond we where there for and hour and a friend named Ashlin helped me catch a baby newt. It was literally a little longer than a centimetre. After being at the pond for a few hour we when down to a place called Mortimer's spit. We stayed for awhile and a hand full of people when swimming and me and a few other friends just waded in the water. At around 3:45 my aunt picked us up and we when home. sadly that day we couldn't go in the lake because we had dinner plan's and we had to leave at 4:30 to 5:00. when we arrived there was still time before the meal was ready so all us kids and teens were forced out side. After we left there place we literally fell asleep before our heads even touched our pillows. even the adult, well we did stay till 1am.

 On the 4th day we slept in big time. We woke up around noon even thought we were trusted to wake up at 10am and make lunch for the adults after they came home from disc golfing. We rushed around through Seth in the shower, got dressed in the oddest clothes because we just picked up what ever we saw and when we where trying to get lunch ready we got a call from the saying the were coming home and we didn't even start lunch. Surprisingly we finished making the lunch and when they entered we were all calm and quiet. Then after lunch we left to go see my ant in Victoria and had a great time.

If you want to read the third part which is Sunday and Monday there will be a part 3 after this post

part one of pender

Hello every one,

Its been quite awhile since I've posted any thing. I've been on a island called Pender island and my days were packed with a loud of fun stuff. I when to Pender to visit my cousins Marina and Seth, and of course my aunt Debby and uncle Graham. On the first day I arrived at there place around 3:00 so Marina and Seth were still at there nature camp. So instead of driving to there place my uncle decided to take tired me to the trail that they were hiking and we hiked for a while. I love hiking but not when i"m pooped out. When it was around 3:45 we met up with them on the trail and said hi. I felt so short because marina is 4 years younger then me and up to my upper lip and Seth who is 5 years apart from me was up to my lower lip, I don't blame them for being tall but I'm just soooo short!!! when we finished the rail and got back into there truck my uncle decided to take me Marina Seth and my dad to the grocery store to buy some grocery's. My dad and cousins didn't mind it but I sure did! I'm so unfit and lazy and felt like dying! when we were finished shopping we went to there house. when we got there i tried out there zip line and fell off at the end because I wasn't holding on tight enough. after a little while marina and i jumped into their lake, well they own property on the lake so they got to swim in it. We saw a tone of dragonflies and other critters and saw a family on there boat. A little while later we hopped out to the lake to go and eat dinner. I dint eat much because my head started to hurt from the fall so I took some medicine and went to sleep. after sleeping for around 1 and a half hours i was starving so I climbed down stars and at some food. When I was finished eating I crawled into my bed and fell fast asleep. That was the first day but if you want to read about the rest of my trip I'll be posting a part 2 for the rest of my trip. Thanks for reading

                                              Always,

Beaching and cupcakes

Yesterday I when to the beach with my friend Natalie. We had alto of fun there. When we were taking the sky train we accidentally made a mistake and took the wrong train that took us in the opposed direction. after that we first when to a very famous cup cake shop that we stumbled across then strait to the beach. After being at the beach for awhile, we went out for some pizza. If you are reading this you probably don't now this but every time I hang out with Natalie we get pizza because she loves it to pieces. after pizza we walked around that area window shopping till we got bored of it. Then we went home. On our way back, we stopped at a mall to get some frozen yogurt. soon after finishing we hopped back on the train and headed home. ( if you were wondering we took the sky train not the under ground tube.) Thanks again for reading.

                                                        Always,

                                                                     Mina

July Favourites

Hello reading my blog people,

This blog entry will be my first monthly favourites blog! Yay! I hope you find my taste of these products not awful, and please do enjoy! and sorry all of them are high street/ drugstore products

My first monthly favourite is the maybelline colour tattoos. My two most favourite out of all of them, too cool witch is a very pretty white silver colour, and pomegranate punk witch is a gorgeous purple pink magenta colour. I usley use them as an eye shadow base but if your in a rush you can just put them on and they really don't look bad. I got them for $8

My second monthly beauty favourite is the maybelline dream fresh BB cream. I've been using this for about a month now and its made my skin so soft and smooth. I feel like for a bb cream it has very good coverage. if you don't like bb creams i do under stand but if you like them or looking for a good one i definitely recommend thins.

My last beauty favourite is a lip balm by, again maybelline, which are called baby lips (there very popular). I've really been enjoying the electric collection of the baby lips, but fav out of all of them is the berry bomb. It's very moisturising, (all of them are) and literally smells like berry. I defenty recommend this if you don't like lip sticks or lip stains since this is a little tinted. I think i got mine for around $3

My first food and/or drinks favourite is bear trap by davidstea it's on of there summer teas so i really think if you like it you should stock up so you can have it when its not available. I think it tastes Delicious and smells heavenly.

My none beauty favourite are my cop sunglasses. There super comfortable, super cute and trendy. And of course block our eyes from the sun on these hot summer days.
Hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites.

                                                        Always,

                                                                       Mina
