Staying Safe Online!


Hello Everyone,

I am trying to post some more informative posts on my blog and to talk about things that will be able to help other people as well as doing fun posts.

Today I wanted to talk about how to be safe online because I feel that younger people are now online a lot earlier on in life than children used to be so it is important that they know what to do and how to be safe online.

Here are some tips I have to take into account when using the internet.
  1. Keep personal details & passwords private.
  2. Don't share your full name, address, date of birth, school, telephone number or email address online.
  3. Only accept friend requests from people you know.
  4. Never open strange emails. They could be viruses and this can be damaging to your computer.
  5. Never go to meet someone you have met online alone. If you do want to meet an internet friend you should go with an adult and make sure you friend has an adult coming with them too.
  6. If you become a victim of online trolls tell someone. They will be able to help you. Also make sure you save or screenshots and messages as proof of what is going on.
I hope you find this post helpful. I think these are important rules to follow when using the internet. Just always remember to stay safe when using the internet. Thanks for reading!

Which celebrity always has great make up? Ashley Benson

If you could leave the house only wearing one make up item what would it be?
Mascara

Could you ever leave the house without make up on? Yes, make up isn't essential for
me so I would happily leave the house without it.

Do you think you look good without make up on? I feel confident both with and without make up on.

In your opinion, what is the best make up brand? I really like Maybelline at the moment.

What do you think of make up? I think make up can be fun and is good for enhancing different parts of your face. However, I don't think it is essential to wear all the time.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post. What do you think of make up? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading!

A Routine For Tidying Your Room!

Image from the Internet
Hello Everyone,

I think most of us can agree that tidying our room is the most boring job EVER and we all avoid doing it at all costs. However, having a clean and tidy room is so nice and can help use to feel a lot more motivated.

Today I though that I would give you a sort of routine to follow to help you to tidy your room in the most time efficient way.

Step 1 - Put any dirty clothes in the laundry basket

Step 2 - Put all rubbish in the bin

Step 3 - Organise your shelves putting any books, DVDs and CDs in height order. This makes them look so much tidier

Step 4 - Make your bed. This can make your room look so much cleaner straight away. Also it is way nicer to get into a clean and tidy bed at night.

Step 5 - Dust your room & don't just do around ornaments. You need to do underneath each ornament to get your room fully clean.

Step 6 - Hoover you room.

Step 7 - Open your windows for a while. This will help to make you room feel fresh.

Step 8 - Put away any bit & bobs that should be in drawers rather than on the floor

I hope this helps you to tidy your room in the shortest amount of time possible. A clean room can help you to feel much happier so it's worth doing. I often find that when my room is clean I am more motivated and find it much easier to concentrate. I find that the easiest way to keep your room tidy is to tidy it each night before you go to sleep.

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Beauty Products!

Image from the Internet
Hello Everyone,

Many beauty products are quite expensive to buy which is fine because it's worth paying more for a good quality product. However, if we're paying quite a lot of money for something we want to get the most out of it and not have some of the product left in the packaging when we throw it away because we can't get to it. Today I wanted to provide you with some tips to help you get the most out of your beauty products.

Tip 1 - Store bottles upside down

When your getting to the end of a product storing it upside down helps to get the left over product to the top of the bottle which means that you are able to squeeze the last bit out easily.

Tip 2 - Roll tubes up slowly from the bottom & secure

This is the best way to get the most use out of product that are in tubes. Rolling it up slowly pushes all of the product up to the top making it easier to get the remaining product out. If you don't use all of the remaining product in one go then secure it with something to keep the product at the top and to save you having to roll it up every time.

Tip 3 - Add water

If you are trying to get the most out of your shampoo, conditioner or body wash you should add some water. This helps to get the remaining product from the bottom and sides of the bottle.

Tip 4 - Click here

My final tip is actually a whole separate blog post that I posted on my blog last year so if you want to read the last tip I have for you, you will have to click on the link.

They are all of the tips I have to help you to get the most out of your products. I hope you find this post helpful. Thanks for reading!

The Best Way To Organise Your School Bag!

Image from the Internet

Hello Everyone,

I know from experience that you can often end up carrying a really heavy bad around school all day just because you lack to right organisation. However, throughout my school years I have come up with ways to make sure my bag only contained what I needed and was as organised as possible.

  • Pack your bag the night before - This is the most important tip I have when it comes to organising your school bag. Packing it in the morning when you have a limited amount of time leads to you just throwing in everything you could ever need rather than just what you need for the day. I knew people that carried every single school book with them everyday just so they didn't need to pack their bag every night. Pack your bag the night before when you have more time because that means that you will only pack what you need for the next day.
  • Take everything out at night - The best way to pack your bag is to take everything out each night. Throw any rubbish away that you have collected throughout the day. File away any sheets that you have. Once your bag is empty re-pack it with only the things you need for the day.
  • Check your planner - Most schools have some sort of planner or diary. If you have one of these, use it to help you make sure that you remember everything you need. Check your planner to see if you have P.E or cooking and for what books you need for the day. This will help you to remember everything and be prepared.
  • Check the weather - Most of the tips I have mentioned so far are about limiting what you have to carry around school. However, it is important that you do have the essentials for each day and sometimes it's worth carrying a bit more weight to have what you need for the day. My advice is to check the weather for the day in the morning and pack what you need whether it is a coat, umberella, scarf or hat. It's best to be prepared for all situation.
  • Only take what you need - The most important thing is not to over-pack. It's important to have everything you need but only take what is essential because it's not worth carrying unnecessary weight around school all day.
I hope you find these tips helpful. It's always best to be organised. Thanks for reading!

My Blogging Routine!

Hello Everyone,

So recently I've noticed that when I'm blogging especially when I'm dedicating a couple of hours to blogging I have tend to have a certain routine that gets me in the mood to write good blog posts. I thought it would be fun to share this routine with you today so I hope you like it.

Step 1 - Make a Cup of Tea
I always have a cup of tea whilst I'm blogging. It seems to help me concentrate and puts me in the mood to blog so the first thing I do is make myself a cup of tea.

Step 2 - Plan Blog Posts
The next step in my routine is to plan my blog posts in my 'blogging book'. In this book I will write down any ideas for blog posts I have and then plan what I'm going to write for each post in bullet point form. This helps to give me an idea of what to write when it comes to when I type in out on the laptop.

Step 3 - Take Photos
The next thing I do is take any photos that I need for my blog posts. I set up some sort of background and take photos of the products I am blogging about. Once I am happy with the photos I upload them onto my laptop ready to use later.

Step 4 - Have Netflix On
At this point I usually put Netflix on as a bit of background noise. I usually like to watch Pretty Little Liars as it's something I've watched before so it's not like I need to concentrate on it.

Step 5 - Write Blog Posts
Next, I go on to the laptop and write the blog posts I want to write. I usually write as many posts as I can because then I have them ready to post when I want.

Step 6 - Add Pictures
Once I have written the posts I will add any pictures whether it is a picture I have taken, a picture from the internet or a banner I have made online. This finishes off the post.

Step 7 - Post Blog Post
The final step is to post one of the posts I have written on to my blog and save the rest to post for another day.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I thought it might be quite interesting for you to find out what goes on when I am creating these blog posts for you to read. This is the routine I use whenever I'm blogging for a long period of time. Thanks for reading!
