This is me. Stuck in my box. I hate my box. Bad box. No.
Hey guys, I have had a pretty bad week. I love to write and create and do these amazing creations then show them the world, but I have run into a few problems.

A few weeks ago I did a post about creativity and how to become more creative. I've lost my creativity! I know. I'm crying too... Do you wanna help? Because I have been in such a pickle!

Here's what I ask from you. How do you get creative? How do you inspire yourself? Or if you have any cool ideas then comment them and I will see if they lead to anything bigger for me!

Not even joking. I have had bloggers block. Writers block and video block all in the space of one week. It sucks! But I'm hoping that if you guys can help me out then I will slowly become my creative self again!

I have had one idea. I want to make a music video! So if you own the rights to any music can you leave me the links below or message them to me in Hangout I would be so happy!

Max factor and Rimmel London Haul!

Hey there! When it comes to make-up it's very hard for me. My skin is far to sensitive and it's difficult to find brands that don't make me break out! Obviously, everyone has a different face type and if you keep trying you will eventually come across a brand that is good for you!

In my case Max factor and Rimmel are my saviors! So I thought I would take you through the best products from Max factor and Rimmel that I have and what I think about them. (Sorry about the quality of some photos... I smashed my camera)


My first product is powder. I have two types (Both from Rimmel). The one on the left is the Stay Matte pressed powder with natural shine control in shade 002 Pink blossom, £3.99 from boots. I do like this powder however I find it is far to pink for my skin color so I don't use it that often.

The powder on the right is the Clear Complexion clarifying powder with natural minerals in shade 021 Transparent, £3.99 from boots. After getting the first powder I thought a transparent powder would be better for my skin type and now I swear by it! I don't find it heavy like other powders.


My second product is once again Rimmel. This mascara is the Glam eyes Lash Flirt volume and lift mascara in 001 Kohl black. It can be found in boots for £7.19. I find this mascara amazing! It doesn't clump at all and it separates my lashes nicely. The only downside to this product would be how flexible the brush is. I keep bending it every time I put it away.


My final Rimmel product is the Exaggerate eye liner in 001 100% black which can be found for £5.29 in Boots. I love this product because I have really got on with it. I never used to wear liquid eyeliner because I found the brush to be to bulky and bendy so I could never get a straight line. When I was suggested to get this I was hesitant. If you are a first time liquid eyeliner person I suggest this.


So, moving on to Max factor. This is the Max factor Flipstick colour effect in shade 15 Boreal mauve. £6.49 at Boots. I really this flipstick. Unlike most lipsticks I have tried this one stays on for at least half a day and doesn't even fade. It has a metallic tone to it that look great when the lighter shade is worn. I don't really have bad points to it. It is an all round great product!


My final product from Max factor is the amazing CC Colour correcting cream. This one is in shade 50 Natural. This crazy perfect foundation is my must have product! It's perfect to wear over the summer since it is so light and contains an SPF 10. Most foundations I use either irritate my sensitive skin or clog my pours. But since I discovered this I cant fault it! I would highly recommend to anyone!

Well thank you all for reading and Keep an eye out on my YouTube channel because my next video will be released soon!
See you next time!

How do I start being healthy?

So, I suggest tea. To clarify I am not typically British! I am on one of those 'long lasting' heath kicks (Lets be serious. This will only last. What? Two weeks?) So I was browsing the internet for ways I can start eating healthy and start looking after my body more and I came across the wonders of herbal teas.

Now, you are probably thinking "Egh, herbs? Emily what are you going on about? Oh no!" Don't panic! You would really be surprised at how amazing they are. Hot water is a great way to help detox your system and not only help you feel better about your self but make you look better to.

But here is the great thing. Some of these herbal teas have medicine type ability's!  For example Elderflower tea is proven to cure colds as is Thyme. Peppermint is used to stop nausea and vomiting.

Here's the bit you want to see. But before you read. I am not promoting mega weight loss or that you should lose weight because to be honest. I think everyone should be comfortable in the skin they have. This is about becoming more healthy. But anyway:

  • There is only 2 calories in herbal tea (other than Chamomile)
  • There's no fat in it
  • Only 0.47g of carbs in one cup
I think the best tea for me is Peppermint or Lemon and Ginger but if you go to your supermarket you can find some amazing flavors and even some fruit teas! I will say it again. I am not typically British I swear!

So yeah. Tea.

Beat the heat!

Okay guys. So we all know by now that I like to be creative. So here are some super creative ways I have found to beat the heat in this so called 'Heatwave' that is hitting England or if you are lucky enough to live in a hot area then this is for you to! So here we go...

Creative ways to beat the heat

1) Put ice in front of your fan!- This 'cool' and inventive way of cooling your room if your fan isn't doing enough helps increase the windchill factors in your room.

2) Wet a cotton bandanna and put it on your head or neck!- I understand this sounds crazy and insane when it comes to leaving the house. I'm sure there is some way to start making it look better?

3) Make your own ice cream!- Seriously, go all out. Make it amazing! Mix crazy flavors. Be the new Ben & Jerry's.

4) BBQ instead of oven cooking!- It's BBQ season people! Not eating in the house will mean less heat in the home. Less heat means more cool... but you know that.

5) Lose the shoes!- Take them off! as the sweat evaporates on your feel the blood vessel pump blood around to other parts of the body causing a greater sensation of coolness

6) If you think you're cool... You are!- No seriously, reading about the cold or thinking of the cold will cause your body to believe that you really are!

7) Ice on pressure points!- It's great. Put Ice into a bag and rest them on your pressure points or run them under cold water. It really cools you down!

8) Take the chance to adventure!- Go camping. In a tent or under the stars. Embrace the warm air! Even if it is in the back garden! Be adventurous!


Have you got any creative ways to beat the heat? Let me know in the comments! Keep hydrated guys! 

Music that stimulates creativity!

If you are looking for advise to start being creative and living a creative life here is one of my main tips:
Music plays a large part in creativity. Creativity is a huge part of my life! From creating artwork to writing my book. So I rely hugely on the power of music to trigger certain emotions.

I find it almost amusing that music can bring you to tears and then back to laughter within minuets. To be honest I really wish I could sing. Alas, I can't. So, my advise. Harness this power of emotion that music can bring. It can stimulate creativity and, in turn, lighten your mood.

I use Spotify a lot. It gives me chance to choose music that really suits what I am going to write or draw. It definitely helps with writers block as well. I would suggest music that you could listen to but you really need to pick songs that you love and you think will help create mood swings. That sounds strange. Most the time you want to prevent them.

To conclude:

  • Harness music
  • Spend as long as you need choosing the right tracks
  • Create mood swings (I suggest not to the point of creating arguments)
  • Let your mind do the rest!
Good luck!
