ONE YEAR OF BLOGGING

One year of blogging and 44 posts later... We've had so much fun sharing our favourite beauty products and skincare tips, along with taking the photos, designing the blog and having a creative outlet. Surprisingly we've been able to keep to our schedule as well (most of the time)! We want to make the most of this year before hopefully heading off to university, so this week we'll be putting up a few extra posts during our blog's anniversary.
Here are five of our favourite posts from this year, back to when we first started out...

DAY TRIP TO BOURNEMOUTH

During the summer, we spent a long weekend in Salisbury for Rhiannon's 17th Birthday. We had fun exploring the historic city, making a few purchases and eating yummy food. On one of the days we decided it would be fun to go to the seaside so we travelled down to Bournemouth. The weather was very typically British - grey skies with a few moments of sunshine - but we still had a lovely day and even braved paddling in the sea.

2015 FESTIVAL REVIEWS

After our first festival experience last year at Reading, we knew it was going to be hard to go a year without going to another one. The two festivals we're reviewing are extremely different with Somersault being a family friendly event with other activities besides music on offer, and Reading being a young rock/alternative music focused festival.

SCHOOL BAG ESSENTIALS

After a long summer, we know it can be hard to reorganise everything again. For sixth form we have so many folders, bits of paper and textbooks that it can all get a bit cluttered, causing added stress when you can't find that piece of homework that's due next lesson! Picking a bag is a great place to start - if you wear uniform it's a good way to show your personal style. Don't choose a bag that's too small or it will fall apart within a term. This is what we like to carry in our everyday school bags...

OUR FAVOURITE SUMMER READS

We hate to admit it but we really aren't big readers despite our wish to be. It can be so hard to get into a book and a routine of reading a chapter a night before bed when we have distractions like Youtube and Netflix - oops! But there is one time when we will not be found without a book and that is on holiday (especially when there is no internet) where reading is perfect, there is all the time in the world to read a book cover to cover - so satisfying.

RHIANNON'S DRESSING TABLE

As my room is quite small, I decided to go for shelves instead of a proper dressing table to save space...

NETFLIX FAVOURITES

Both being procrastinators, we have gone through our fair share of Netflix viewing... So we thought we'd list our favourite TV programmes and movies that you can watch on there.

GET TO KNOW US

For our 10th blog post, we thought we would tell you a little more about us...
