I'm in Cupcake Heaven

<3 I wish i could take the credit for these gorgeous fairycakes but it was my sister who made them !! I just thought they looked so amazing and cute that i had to do a quick post!

<3 My sister is an incredible cake maker, i wish i was better at cooking but i never seem to have any interest in it. It just seems like so much effort. I'm mainly put off by all the washing up at the end (such a lazy bones).

<3 So today was a proffesional day for my school, DAY OFF !! I went shopping with my mum for an outfit for enterprise day. Now, help me out here people, what is Enterprise day ?? It is happening in a few weeks at my school and all i know is that i need a smart/dressy outfit. I was getting a bit panicked as nothing i tried on was looking right, i dont think i suit the 'business' look but i eventually found a nice tan coloured dress from H&M and some lllaaaaaverly heels to go with it. I think i may do a short post on it later.  

<3 This week has been adjusting back to waking up early for school and getting on track with homework. All exams are over, and we are officially head of the school, which also means yr 11 work begins pronto!

<3 Tonight i have dance rehearsal for my show next week, time is going so quickly! I only have 3 more weeks untill the biggest trip of my liffeee !!! This summer i am going to AMERICA !! I am such a lucky girl. As the days go by im sure you will be hearing more and more about this as the frenzied excitement mounts ;)) So, i'm going to be gone for 2 weeks starting on the 30th. I have already got stacks of lists and things to get before i leave. Going to America has always been a dream of mine, and it still doesn't feel real that we're going! I have a big shopping trip planned for Sunday so stand by for a haul! 

Ok m'lovlerlies, thats all from me,

My week in pictures ♡

<3 Phew, so this week has been such a loooooong one !! It has just gone on and on.
<3 So this week i finally got all my year 10 exams over and done with, WOOO ! My last one was on wednesday. I've been enjoying not having to study and cram till the very last second and then sitting in a stuffy sports hall at a tiny wooden desk for like 2 hours at a time. My school doesnt have the best exam facilities ;).
<3 Monday: my mum surprised me by having put up our trampoline when i got home from my exam. I love my trampoline, me and my sister spent an evening taking stupid pictures on it.
<3 Tuesday: my sister gave me a pedicure - my toes have never looked better !!
<3 Wednesday: last yr 10 exam! Then i went round my friends to get ready to go out. It was a friends birthday so me and all the girls went out to prezzo's, it was a great night !
<3 Thursday: i went out to the cinema and while my friend was getting her phone fixed i went into Peacocks and found this amazing shall-like cardigan. Its got a really nice pale blue aztec pattern (i seem to be into that style at the moment).
<3Saturday: Went round to shannon's (my stunning friend in the pictures above) where we did a Kim Kardashian workout video and videos for our joint youtube channel and chilled in the limited sun we had that day.
<3 Sunday: Today, I AM EXHAUSTED !! I went on a bike ride with my dad in the forest. I absolutely love bike rides but this one was a mega one. We got lost after about an hour but managed to find our way back to the car eventually! It was such a nice day and the sun never went behind a single cloud. I caught the sun on my face a bit which means freckles for me ! I hate my freckles. We going out for a Sunday dinner later on so i'm gunna go get ready now, hope you all had a lovely week too !

Wardrobe Update !

<3 So my sister came home form her shopping trip today with this amazing buy! I just wanted to do a quick post on them because i just think they are so gorgeous!! I would describe them as having an Aztec pattern, really colourful  and intricate.
<3 They are from New Look for £14.99. I saw some shorts there similar to these ones the other month but they didnt have my size, i definatley like these ones better though!!

<3 I love having a sister because it means we can have a combined wardrobe and share all our clothes (mostly) However this is the main cause for argument in our household and blazing rows about who is allowed to wear what are a frequent occurrence. But its worth it to have double the amount of clothes. I realize that even if you do have a sister around the same age as you, your not necessarily the same sizes. Even though my sister is about 3 inches taller than me and i am 2 years older we still fit the same clothes. Unluckily for us the only thing we can't share are shoes as she is a size 7 and i am a tiny 4 and a 1/2 ! So that is why im sad that we cant also share these super cute primark sandals that she also brought home ..

Naturally Lighten Your Hair

<3 This was a great suggestion from my friend Shannon who has already done a post on her blog http://glamerdoll.blogspot.com/ and she got the idea from the youtube channel, Adrea'sChoice.

<3 I think this is a great solution for anyone who doesnt like the idea of using harsh chemicals or dye on their hair to lighten it. I was going to use sun-in on my hair but heard form my friends that it is really damaging and drying on your hair. 

<3 I am LOVING the ombre look for the summer!! So when i did this i only put it on the bottom half of my hair, it is so easy to do and uses opnly natural ingredients (plus conditioner).

<3 What you will need: - Conditioner  - Honey (raw or solid is best) 

                                    - Lemon (optional)  - Jar

<3 OK so like i said, it is so easy to do! First put one part conditioner and two parts honey into the jar and mix. I also added lemon as it is a natural lightener, but some of you may feel that this will dry out your hair. I didn't find this however! If you are going to add the lemon, just cut one in half and squeeze the juice in with the honey and conditioner, it will smell AMAZING !! Try and mix it well so that there are no lumps of honey left.

<3 Leave that to sit for around 10-15 minutes, then just smooth it all over your hair. If you do want the ombre  effect, only put it on the bottom half of your hair. Once you have covered your head, place your hair in a normal plastic bag that you can get from the supermarket and wrap it up. Then wrap it in a towel like you would normally do after washing your hair. This is to lock in the heat and improve the lightening effect. Leave it for 40 minutes and find something to do!

<3 After 40 minutes, take your hair down and wash as normal, make sure to get all the honey mixture out! After 4-5 times of doing this you should start to see a difference. I have only been able to do it once so far, as i've been so busy but even after the first time i did see a tiny difference. I have lightish brown hair that is slightly golden ginger in the sun - its a weird combination i know!

<3 If you try this, please comment and tell me if it works for you! I'll keep you updated if i ever get round to doing this again, aha. It is a must for those of you who want lighter hair for the summer but don't want to damage it. Its also a really relaxing activity and the honey and lemon smells so good! You must try it, enjoy!

<3 So today i just felt like a bit of a ramble, and it is waaaaay to hot to be doing anything productive so i shall catch you up on me, my life and my universe.

<3 The weather for the past two days has made it feel like a foreign country! I surprised myself yesterday by ending up walking around in a bikini. 

Being the pale english rose i am and knowing that for however long i lie in the sun i will only gain freckles, i decided to apply fake tan on my legs. I have found the best solution to a quick and easy tan - Fake Tan WIPES !! they are dead easy to use and really quick. You just wipe it all over the chosen body part and over the next few hours you build up a nice tan. Orange feet are however a side effect if you don't apply carefully. I have been trying to hide mine today.  If you saw me you wouldn't think i had any on (because my leg still look very pale), but it has actually made a huge difference, i have the tan line on my bum to prove it ;) but you can wipe it on to your hearts content! I purchased these from savers for £1.00 ! and there's 20 in a pack - BARGAIN !! im going back to stock up.

<3 so today i had my maths exam. I'm in year 10 and around the end of the school year we have mock exams, vair vair annoying but the study leave is great. I know i completely failed because i always have been and always will be crap at maths. but its a mock so Ho Hum Pigs Bum ;) I should be studying for my actual GCSE science exams that i have tomorrow, but the weather is just so uncomfortable. I think a good investment would be a fan. There is no sun out at all but it is just SO HOT! i think humid is the word. Ahh well it is all good practice for my summer in America (SUPER DUPER BLOODY CRAZILY EXCITED)

Although the worrying thing is that all this humidity is making my georgeous (not) hair resemble what can only be described as the overgrown bush in my front garden :/ this is not on. Any suggestions for un-tamable curly hair ?? 

<3 This friday i have been invited to a friends birthday. It a meal out with all the girls but with a twist .....

The theme is: The Only Way Is Essex. It should be a laugh, i'll put up some photos later this weekend.

<3 Right i have bored you enough now ! Cheerio lovelies,,

Lily, xx

My name is ...

<3 so first of all, i should introduce myself, my name is Harriet. 

I like my name but if any of you have seen my joint youtube channel or twitter then you know that i much prefer my middle name - Lily, i carry it with me wherever i go on a necklace.

<3 things i don't like about myself would be ...

my nose because it has a massive bump on the bridge

my height. My 13 year old sister towers above me, just about 3 more inches would be nice (Y) its not that im tiny but i still feel like a child when i stand next to adults.

 my hair just about never looks right, as you can tell from the pictures above !

I have massive dark under-eye circle that i hate hate hate !!!

<3 things i do like are ....

the colour of my hair, it can go quite golden in the sun, although i am a fan of ombre hair and nearer the summer im going to give that a go !

I have never had a problem with my weight and put it down to a fast metabolism

my teeth, thanks to the miracle of  modern dentistry

<3 i am in year 10 at school and my favorite lesson has to be my amazing commercial art class, its the best part of my week !

<3 shopping Shopping SHOPPING,, my fave thing to do !!

<3 peanut butter is amazing, rain is depressing, autumn is beautiful, the future is a mystery, the Darwin Deez have stolen my heart, sun is uplifting, marshmallows are genius and i am enjoying every bit of it. 

<3 and now im really getting into blogging. So i will try to catch you up regularly on my not so thrilling life as often as i can and all that is left to say is ta-rah for now and enjoy,

Lily x
