Inspiration of the week '15

Over summer everyone can get a little bit sluggish- you're out of class, your friends are on holiday and you find yourself doing the same old things and getting a little bored. Well, we thought it would be a good idea to think about some of the people that inspire us to give you a little bit of inspiration for your week!

Ayah

Niga Higa is one of my favourite youtubers! I absolutely love the way he puts so much effort into all his videos. His creativity really shines through his work! He genuinely makes me laugh
Nowadays, many youtubers publish content because they have a certain schedule and have to follow that; but Ryan Higa posts when his videos are ready. This emphasizes how quality is more important than quantity. Also, his ideas are pretty genius and funny!

Check my favorite video of his, you can thank me later! (Hehe):

Kimmy

I am totally inspired by Tavi Gevinson. I started reading her magazine Rookie a couple of years ago and I always found it to be so thought provoking. She's brave, intelligent, caring, creative and beautiful and she is so going places! She inspires me in my personal life and as a blogger as well!

Question of the day:

Who inspires you most? * Could be a celebrity, politician, musician, blogger, family etc.*

LONDON: Places to visit- Tour Guide!

London is one of the most beautiful city in the world! Soo we decided to write up a post dedicated specifically to the city's beauty!

We're going to start off by Places to Visit:

1) London Eye. Yeah, we know it's an obvious one but it's one of the most iconic landmarks of this city! It's 135 metres tall and is Europe's tallest ferris wheel which is pretty cool! The views from the pods are spectacular (particularly on a clear day) and it's always fun seeing what you can spot from the sky!

2) Hyde Park. This is one of the biggest parks in London and it really feels it when you're wandering around! You can have a picnic on the grounds and even hire a deck chair to lounge back in on a good day! There's some playgrounds which are peerfect for families and if you're feeling a bit active you can hire a Boris Bike to cycle round the park or grab a boat around the Serpentine.

3) Big Ben. Secret little fact for you: Big Ben is actually the name of the bell in the clock and the tower is called the Elizabeth Tower! This is another of the most famous landmarks and so you can't exactly visit London without catching a sneaky peak at this!

4) M&M's Shop- Yes, a world dedicated just to M&M's.. sounds like heaven right?! This shop is 3 floors of chocolatey goodness and the largest sweet store in the world (apparently)!! You can create your own bags of pick and mix M&Ms, buy cuddly toys and homeware and pose with the numerous statues and displays dedicated to the sweets!

 5) Trafalgar Square. Again, another place that would be a real tragedy to not stop at on your visit! It commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar which was a famous British navy victory in the Napoleonic wars! The history around London is amazing! It's the perfect place to sit, grab something to eat, and reflect on life!

6) Covent Garden - Best day to visit: Sunday. This place is goooorgeous!! Some of the shops aren't particularly affordable (looking at you Godiva!) but they are really well laid out and the streets are so fun to walk down! You can usually find a street performer or band playing which is always good fun! For bonus points: try to find the Moomin shop- it's brilliant!  

PS. You'll see a lot of shows like this!

We didn't include all the tourstic attractions but only the destinations we love!

Hope you all have a lovely time in London! 

What's your favorite place to visit in London?

PS. If you could live in any place in the world, where would it be and why?!

Great Lash Maybelline Mascara REVIEW!

Maybelline are famous for their mascaras! And this one will defo be added to *best Maybelline Mascaras*

First of all, the wand is not too big nor too small, it's the perfect size. The definition it gives my lashes is impeccable! One layer of it is more than enough for me, which is great since I usually put two layers of mascara to give it the effect of false lashes.

This is best for everday use because it's not too over-the-top, but it can be built up for a night out and also, it works soo well with a smokey eye look since it adds so much dimension!

One downside is that if you're a bit too heavy-handed with the mascara and put too much on then it'll clump up quite a bit (but what's new really?) so just keep an eye on how much you're putting on!

The packaging of the bottle is SO PRETTY. 

PS. Who knew green and pink look so gorgeous together? I feel like a big factor that influenced me to buy this product is the packaging. Don't youu think it's really creative? 

It's affordable which is perfect for students who want quality but without the hefty price tag!

Would I recommend it? Yes, yes I totally would! 

Beauty Question of the day:

What brand of Mascaras do you all use/recommend? 

Would love to hear all your thoughts! xxx

Jump into Summer Lookbook

We've done it! Everyone can go home, stop the search, cancel the fashion police. We have found an outfit that is perfect for summer! This jumpsuit is such a versatile piece of clothing. The material is light enough to be cool on a hot day but keep the breeze off if it gets a bit cool!

With this look, we decided to create a powerful lady like summer vibe...

We added a biker jacket to give it a bit more of a punch but softened the look with this gorgeous curly side pony-tail  braid which we feel adds a bit of class!

For the make up, we went with light pinkish colors but added the wing liner to match the biker jacket!

What do you think of the jumpsuit, what would you pair it with?

Biker jackets and jumpsuits: YAY or NAY?

This Summer I Will: Tag!

We've been nominated by the lovely Lydia over at Electric Suede for this tag all about our summer wishlist! We've decided to write down 5 wishes each that we have for this summer!

Ayah

• Spend loads of time with my 2-year-old nephew and 4 months old niece! (The loves of my life)- I miss them so much when I'm at Uni and I love seeing them grow and start talking *aww*

• Work my ass off on the blog with Kimmy so it would be FAB- We have so many great ideas for this blog and we can't wait to work on them and publiish them! *eeep*

• Visit so many different places with my old school friends!- Now that I'm in Uni, i just feel like it's important to experience new places and things that I used to take for granted! 

• Go to the beach loads- It's a good idea to take advantage of the hot weather. The beach is my favorite place to be, makes me feel so energized and great!

• Learn how to stop overthinking- Overthinking is a huge problem with me, and the worst part is that I tend to worry and overthink many stupid things that I shouldn't be wasting my energy on. So..I gotta stop doing that! Hehe x

Kimmy

• Keep jogging - At uni I managed to get into a habit of jogging every week and it felt so good to see my times improving and to be able to push myself that bit further each time! Over exams I had to stop going so much but now it's summer I definitely want to get back out there!

• Catch up with friends - It is sooo hard to keep up with people when at uni, so I am really looking forward to meeting up with friends and hearing EVERYTHING!

• Read more - I have a big pile of books that I haven't read yet (or haven't re-read in a while- looking at you Anne of Green Gables!) and I am just gonna sit in the garden and read away!

• Work on the blooooog! I love ETL soo much and I am super excited to spend a lot more time on it! And just a sneaky little promise- we have AWESOME things lined up!!

• Meet up with my boyfriend - Can anyone say long distance relationship? I'm looking forward to spending a bit of time over summer with the guy! 

So that's our summer wishlist! What are your plans for summer? We'd love to hear them!

We're tagging these lovelies to post their summer wishlists: The Flower That Blooms, Held Together By Pins, Becky Stewart and Scottish Stef's Nails!


Song of the week! Us The Duo: No Matter Where You Are! We think this is such a cute and upbeat song, perfect for summer! What do you think?
