Yearbook Photos

Hey bloggers,

Maya and I have recently had to enter in our yearbook photos, so we're writing this to help you guys get your perfect picture!

Now, if you're going into school for your photos and you want to look good, I suggest you go for a foundation with a low SPF as it can make your face look shiny in pictures. I suggest wearing some translucent powder, for example, to help avoid this.

Make sure you get lots of sleep the day before you have school photos - we wouldn't want bags under our eyes, now would we?

Before going to school, you need to practise in front of the mirror - typical, I know, but it will help you to find the best way to smile and how to have your hair. This helps as you don't want to have one of those 'awkward smiles' that you have to hold for ages whilst they're taking the picture.

If you don't want to use your school photo but want to use a photo from Facebook, make sure it's not too edited as it will stand out from the others and won't look too good. (You can edit them, just don't go too overboard.)

We hope you guys have an awesome Easter and have a great break!

Photo Friday

Hi guys,

I'm going to start uploading a few of my photos every week.
I love photography and always do it in my spare time!
I use a Canon 450D and a 28-105mml ultra sonic Canon lense.

I've taken Art GCSE and my title for my exam was 'Ordinary and Extraordinary' in these following few photos you'll see my interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. We took these photos in Oxford in the woods.

"...You're mad, bonkers, off your head, but I'll tell you a secret, all the best people are."

I hope you like them- please comment.

Oversized Jumpers

Hey,

This winter, baggy jumpers have become extremely popular. Recently, I bought 3 new jumpers because I absolutely adore them - you can easily accessorize them to change up your look.

I bought this jumper from Topshop afew weeks ago and I love wearing it. I completed my outfit by wearing some panelled leggings and hightops. 

You can further change it up by adding a jacket, scarf or necklace; I recommend that if you have a jumper with print across it like this one, don't try and pull the attention away from it by having patterned scarfs that clash with the jumper - make sure it compliments the outfit nicely.

You can find lots of gorgeous oversized jumpers in pretty much every shop. Maya and I love them,

and we're certain you'll love them too - so go out there and get some gorgeous jumpers :)

How to stop biting your nails.

Biting your nails- it's a habit I have and many other people have too.

I'm going to write a blog on how to stop biting your nails painlessly and easily... :)

1) Paint your nails with a bright colour- so if you start biting then you realise.

2) Push your cuticles back time to time as they are growing.

3) Find something else to do- for example, chewing gum.

4) Imagine your new lovely nails.

Or you can just cover your fingers with plasters- this will stop you completely from biting them because the plaster will get in the way (this is the solution if it gets very bad).

After all of this, you can purchase many nail kits that sort out your nails, for example:

What I see many people doing is giving up and just buying fake nails and gluing them on. If you know how to do this or get it professionally done it is much better. The glue is very hard to put on and if it gets stuck around your nails, not only it makes them look very unattractive, it also damages your skin. And it can hurt a lot if your fake nail falls off. Personally I would recommend to first try growing them and only if you feel you have to then use fake nails.

When I tried to not bite my nails I used this nail varnish:

It's especially designed to put you off biting your nails- it gives your nails a slight shine and every time you go to bite your nails it tastes horrible. Putting you off biting those nails- VIOLA!
