Garden Adventures

Hey Peeps,

Guess what... the sun made a brief, but appreciated, appearance today. So my sister and I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and ventured outside into our garden. I spent a bit of time doing my Art homework, and then we played about of the trampoline together. Also we did a mini photo-shoot with my fab new camera. Here are some of the pictures that we took!!

I hope you like these photos that I took. How has your spring bank holiday been so far?? Has the weather been good?? I am beginning to feel a lot more summery now the weather is finally improving. It is actually starting to feel like summer.

#31 Photo A Day May

 

Hey Peeps,

Today's photo is 'something beautiful' and because the sun came out today, I thought it would take some pictures of the beautiful flowers that are in my garden!!! I am afraid I don't know the names of the flowers, but I do know that they are really pretty :)

 

As you may have guessed, today is the last Photo A Day May. So I am a little sad that it is over, but also really proud of myself for giving it a go. I am actually surprised that I managed to stick to it!! I thought I would have given up after a few days :) Next month (June , can you believe it!!) I am doing SprinkleofGlitter's 30 Day Snaps. I am really looking forward to giving it a go.

My Birthday! & #30 Photo A Day May

Hey Peeps,

So as most of you know already, it was my birthday yesterday (yay!!) I had a great time. We went to York Designer Outlet, there were loads of really posh shops that excited me, like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Radley, Tommy Hilfiger, White Stuff and many more. I had a lovely family dinner at home, we had dough balls, paella and Ben and Jerry's ice-cream!!!!!! 

Here are some of my presents that I got and pictures of the day!

 

For my birthday, I got my fist bridge camera. This is great because it means the photos on my blog will be a lot better quality and I am really looking forward to using it in the future!!!!

My Jar Of Happiness

Hey Peeps,

 

How is everyone's holiday going? It is my birthday tomorrow and I will officially become a real teenager!! A Cliché teenager is a usually a hormonal mess who only gives one syllable replies, has a bedroom the state of a pig sty and is always moody and grumpy. Yay, I have so much to look forward to :/ 

 

So I thought that to save my poor little soul from the joys of being a teenager, inspired by Gemma form Gemsmaquillage, I decided to create my own Jar Of Happiness. From 2013-2018. The idea is that you put little things or souvenirs that make you happy into the jar. So that when you are feeling upset, having a bad day or feeling sorry for yourself, you can open the jar and look at all the things that made you happy and all the nice things that have happened to you.

 

I would recommend everyone giving this ago, and you can start at anytime. It is a really good positive thing that can motivate you when you need a little motivation.

Chit Chat: Update

Hey Peeps,

 

So today is a glorious bank holiday Monday and I am so excited as this evening we are having our first barbecue of the summer!!! Yay!! Also I am having a friend round for a sleepover so I am super hyped :)

 

Anyway, the point of this post was just to say a huge thank you to all my lovely followers reading this. I now have a whopping 30 FOLLOWERS! That may not seem like a big number to you, but for me it makes me so happy that there are 30 people out there who want to take the time to read the little random things that I call 'blog posts' :). I appreciate every single one of my followers and I hope that you stick around for lots more fun in the future!

 

You may have heard but Google Followers is going to be shutting down (NNNOOOOOOOOOOO). I was so gutted because it means that my followers won't be able to follow me anymore :(  But then I had a thought ( yep, it did hurt :P) that I would link my blog to BlogLovin so that you can still read my blog. Here is a link to my Bloglovin

Also there is a massive 'Follow this blog on BlogLovin' sign on my blog, so if you click on that it will take you over to my BlogLovin page!

Please check it out and follow, it would mean the world to me if you did.

 

This month I have really enjoyed doing the Photo A Day May and I wanted to do something similar in June. SprinkleofGlitter has created something called 30 Day Snap. It is basically where you take one photo each day that represents something you have done that day! I think this will be really fun and I can be a lot more creative with my photos because I won't have a set list of Photos that I have to upload. If you want more info click here. I tag all my beautiful followers to have a go at this little 'challenge' and I am sure you will all have fun taking 30 snaps each day.

 

 

Also if you have any suggestion of blog posts or tags you would like me to have a go at, then please feel free to comment below or email me at missbeccabeauty@gmail.com

 

Thank you once again to everyone who reads my blog whether you have follow me or not!!

 

Bye for now,

The Procratinating Blogger Tag

Hey Peeps,

Yay another tag!! I love doing tags as I think they are really fun and a great way for you to find out more about me!! I just want to say that I haven't been tagged to do this but thought I would give it a go anyway!

So, lets get cracking...

  

Name one beauty regime that you rarely do?

Exfoliating. I rarely do this, even though I have an amazing Liz Earle Exfoliator. I should really do this more often :/

 

Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?

I would love to say yes, but I am afraid it is something I am really bad at. I know that I should do it more often but to be honest I always end up forgetting.

 

How long will you last with chipped nails?

Not very long, sometimes I will go a day if I am really busy. But normally I try to take it off straight away!!

 

How long will you put off buying/replacing a product, even if you need it?

If it is something essential that I use everyday then I repurchase it soon after I run out. But normally I am rubbish at repurchasing products that I have run out off.

 

What is your worst beauty habit?

I tend to peel of my nail polish, I know it is disgusting but I can't stand it when they are chipped so I peel it if I don't have any nail polish remover.

Name something non-beauty related you put off doing all the time.

 I have to confess I am very untidy and I am always putting off tidying my bedroom, which really annoys my mum... opps :/
 

When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready until the last minuet?
Well I normally start getting ready a long time before I have to leave, but 2 minuets before we leave I am running round like a head less chicken try to get organised.

Can you commit to spending bans?
To be honest I have tried because I know that I would just fail miserably...

How organised is your makeup and nail polish collection?
Considering that I am not a tidy person, my collection is surprisingly quote tidy and well organised. That's what I think, but anybody else might think it was a complete mess!!

I have really enjoyed doing this tag, and I tag anyone reading to give this a go!!

#23 Photo A Day May

 

Hey Peeps,

'Technology' Today I thought I would show you something that I have had my eye on for a while now and I am falling in love with the iPhone 4. It seems as if everyone is suddenly starting to have iPhones!!! Let me know what your favourite piece of technology is, or some tech that you would love to own :)

#22 Photo A Day May

 

Hey Peeps,

'Pink' There were loads of picture I could have chosen to use today, but I haven't really included may beauty products in my photo a day's. So here is a gorgeous pink blusher, I-Blossom 01 pearl,  that I have been loving recently. I did mention it in my April's monthly favourites and I simply love it too much for it to only have one mention!

#21 Photo A Day May

Hey Peeps,

Today's photo is 'where you stand'. I was struggling to think of a photo I could take to represent this, so instead I found a quote that was relevant and using Picmonkey I have made my own image of this quote!!

#20 Something You Can't Live Without

Revision, Revision and More Revision

 

Hey Peeps,

So it is that time of year again where everyone has exams :/ This week I have had 4 exams and I have some more next week. I find revising quite difficult and I easily get distracted. So I thought I would share with you my top tips for revising:

1.Organisation and Comfort

I work best when I am comfortable so I find the place where I am most comfortable. Also I make sure that my desk in neat and well organised. It is impossible for me to study when my desk in cluttered. I know this sounds silly but if I have a cluttered desk, I have a cluttered mind.

2.Less is More

I find that if I do a little bit of revision everyday, I tend to remember it a lot better. If I sit and revise for hours on end just before my exam I can never remember everything. But by doing a little everyday it sticks in my brain.

3. Colourful Cue Cards

I think cue cards are really important especially in languages. What is even better is if you have colour cue cards, I don't know why but colour makes it easier for the brain to remember the words. Also cue cards are great for languages because you can carry them around with you throughout the day and keep reading them just so that it stays in your mind.

 

4. Use Family and Friends

Ask people around you is they will test you on the key information you have learnt that day. I give them my revision notes and ask them to ask me a few questions, if I get them right it is really rewarding and makes you feel like you are making progress!

 

5. Treats :)

I think this is the most important because after a long days work of studying, you need to reward yourself. This could be going out with your friends after studying or having a sweet treat. I personally love a bit of chocolate at the end on my revision sessions!!

 

I hope this has helped anyone who is studying for exams at the moment. If you are I wish you good luck and just remember the best thing you can do is think positive, there is no point it getting yourself all worked up and stressed out!

Hey Peeps,

 

'Snack' Who doesn't love a good snack. I was in Starbucks the other day and I ordered a yummy hot chocolate. I am not kidding, it was the nicest hot chocolate I have ever had :) I thought the love heart coco powder was so cute and I loved dipping my marshmallows into the drink, yum!!

#16 Photo A Day May

Hey Peeps,

Today's photo is 'something you are reading'. I used to be a huge read-a-holic when I was younger and I would go through at least 2 books a week. But recently I don't read as much because I am either doing homework, out with my friends or surprise surprise... blogging :)

But the other day I started reading this book called Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler. This book is a great read and I would recommend it to teenage girls!!
