Mid-Week Blues?

Hey Bloggerettos!

Have you got the Mid-Week Blues? I certinly have them! This week seems to be going so slow, which I think is me just far too eager for Summer! If you are Schooled in Scotland don't fret! We only have 5 weeks left, I think? Its great!

Well to shake off those Mid-Week blues I suggest Chick-Flicks, Some upbeat music and FOOD (lots of it!)

Lets give our Wednesday that Fab Friday feeling!

See you soon

Merry monday #6!

Hiya bloggerettos!

So I know I have been absent from this blog as of late and for that I apologise greatly! But to make up for it MERRY MONDAY returns!!

Now, this week I have found it hard to think about what theme for todays Merry Monday. But, after lots and lots of thought I found a quote that just seemed perfect.

"If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves." – Thomas A Edison

It is so true, imagine if we put 110% of ourselves into everything we did. Not just at home but at school and work. It would be amazing what we could achieve with just a little bit extra effort.

This week I challenge you to try and put 100% of yourself into EVERYTHING you do. Who knows, you might end up being the first 16 year old president? The possibilities are endless.

Review: Make-up Goodies!!

Hello bloggerettos!

Reccently I have had tons of make-up appearing all over the shop, things that I have been sent to review so I decided today is the day!
Here are the products:

• Almay Clear complexion foundation in neutral 220
• An all over face brush from Royal Cosmetic Connections
• Nivea Pure and Natural colours Pressed Powder in Sand 04
• And a Yardley London Pressed powder in Apricot 05

The Almay Clear Complexion Foundation:
So far I am in love with this foundation, It is very light on the skin and I would give the coverage a seven out of ten. However, This is thier lightest colour and I am very pale so this colour does have quite an orange undertone on me. For durability i would give it an eight out of ten as it can crease throughout the day especially around the eyes and the mouth (Where I expected) It says that it has blemish heal technology which isn't a lie however I wouldn't say it was a life-changing difference. Another thing I love is the lots of Information on the back of the bottle, although it did take me untill the 5th day of having this product that if you pulled back the paper at the back there was more information, so my advice would be a bigger arrow as people with bad sight would more than likley not notice this. My main problem with this product is the packaging which is glass and a pour-out dispencer but overall I would give this product a seven point five out of ten!

 

 

 

 

This is the foundation in the colour neutral (220)



 

This is the look of it on my very pale hand

The Royal Cosmetics Connections All Over Face Brush:
Love! Love! Love! This brush is super soft, fluffy and MASSIVE which I love. It has a 10cm handle and the bristles are 4cm. I have two minor problems with this brush however.

1. The bristles are black. Now this sounds stupid but I prefer brushes with a light-coloured top as it makes them easier for cleaning.
2. I don't feel this brush will be super long-lasting as the bristles seem to fall out willy-nilly, not enough to be extremly noticible but enough. Overall I would give this brush a nine out of ten!

 How very tall

The soft bristles!

The Nivea Pure & Natural Colours Pressed powder:
My first Impressions are very nice with decent coverage but as of yet I am not 'loving' it. I feel that my expectations when I first saw the product was high and it slightly let me down. It finishes Mat and Natural but in certain light exposures can look very sparkly and shiny which is not what I want nor expected. It is dermatogically approved which is a big plus but it doesn't really jump off the shelves at me. I don't think I will be running out to get this anytime soon. Overall rating? Probably a five out of ten.

 Nivea....

 Sand (04)

What a pretty pattern

  And the last thing I was sent was the Yardley London Pressed powder. LOVE doesn't even describe how much I love it. It is light on the skin, applys mat, sets other make-up beautifully and looks very glowy and summery. I think that this will be a big summer product. It reminds me of a stronger (colour) version of the Rimmel Stay Matte powder. I love the packiging and the product. This will definatley be a repurchase. Ten out of ten. Thats it for this (not so) small review Look out for a makeup haul soon!

 LOVE this packaging!

 Looks so new....

Fab photography skills...

See you soon Emamama xoxo

Confidence

Heeelooooooo Bloggerettos,

So as you probably already know, Confidence is a big thing within this blog. It is intertwined into almost every post and is the reason for me creating this blog. I think confidence is amazing. Someone who is able to look past thier own faults and imperfections and can still say "I am amazing" Overwhelms me, mesmerises me. I am not the most shy human being on the planet, far from it. However confidence within myself, self belief, is something I fail to grasp.

I think one reason for this is my eczema. For those of you wondering eczema is skin condition which creates cuts, redness and sometimes blisters on the skin. For me eczema has been an ongoing battle for the majority of fifteen years. For a number of years it was mild and was irreagular. It never stayed for too long. Despite this, around three years ago my ecxema flared up and it was awful. It got so bad that I could hardly walk, move and couldn't sleep at night. I spent hours and hours at night crying my eyes out because the pain was unbearable. Eventually I agreed that a skin condition which was making it difficult to move my arms was ridiculous.I decided to make an appointment at my local practice. The doctor  however made me feel so small and pointless it dampend my spirits further.

But my mother wouldn't give up. She would buy mouisturiser after mousturiser trying to find something that would work. Sadly, Nothing did. It was then my mum decided to take me back to the doctor. I was not as happy about this as my mother but I didn't have a choice. When we went back it was the locam doctor that I had to see. He was such a gentleman and got me booked in at the hospital.

It was then that I was now going to the hospital everyday. Wearing dressings which made me look like a mummy. I felt so bad about myself. It was such a low time in my life. I would say things such as: "Why am I so ugly?" "Why is my skin so sore?" "I hate my life" "I don't deserve this" "I don't even care" "I am so different" "I will never get married" Looking back I was so selfish. Leaving my mum with these questions which she couldn't answer.

Eventually my skin began to clear up. I was so happy. Everything was looking up. My grades were good, I had started to play Cello and was offered a place in the Edinburgh Youth Orchestra. I just felt like me again. I began to gain Confidence. It was great.

My skin is still on the mend and I have to wear dressings at night. And yes I have marks on my legs. Scars which will always be with me. The memories of people saying nasty things but it all just reminds me of how strong I am. How amazing I am. And how much my confidence has grown. I love my life and most of all me. I am who I am. I am confident, and you can be too.

I would like to thank:
My amazing mum who has been with me through it all, the long nights, the tears, the laughter, the lows and the highs.
Dr.Todd for getting me seen so quickly at the hospital
And, all the staff in the hospital who have helped me with the recovery.

I love you all,
Enjoy life
Be confident

See you soon,
Emamama

Merry monday #5

Yo, vas happenin' bloggerettos?

Once again it is a fab time, MERRY MONDAY (on a Tuesday) and this week my message to you is simple, Be Happy. Not hard to remember, it is so simple this week as I have figured that, life is so much better when you are happy.

So this week, I challenge you, to smile at atleast 10 people per day. You'll feel better and so will they. Make someone else feel better, go on. I DARE YOU.

This weeks quote is from the ever fab-u-lous Bob Marley. (please excuse my terrible handwriting)

New room, new me?!?

Hello bloggerettos,

What a cheesy title today, huh! Well I decided to move my room about, I think thats called funshooi? (please comment below and correct me) Anyway, a little geeky fact aboutme is that when I move my room around I am so much happier! (is that just me?) So, I thought I would do a room tour but then I decided against it as I feel my room is my sanctuary and if I was to show it in a room tour it would loose its sort of magic. So here are some pics instead :-)

Leaving it all in the waves

Hello bloggerettos,

Well today I decided to go on a walk with my dad. That doesn't seem like much but it was amazing. You see my dad and I have not always seen eye to eye. We are, I suppose, Chalk and Cheese (I never understood why it was chalk and cheese?) But I left behind our differences and we walked along the coastline with the gorgeous sky up above. It was quiet, a quaint little town, Aberdour. A nice place to get away. To forget the world. And just enjoy life. We watched the waves, the white horses crashing angainst the rocks. Carrying our problems away. It was PERFECT. Whatever perfect is anyway, or close enough at least. We walked, talked, and just enjoyed each others company for an hour and a half. It was so nice. I don't want to use the word 'nice' its so inbetween, inaccurate, improbable. But it was. So I took some pictures for you, enjoy...

View from our car...

 

Watching the waves

 

My dad and my dog

 

Aberdour beach

 

 

Cheesing in my pink jacket and a messy bun :)

 

So thats it really.

Is there anyone you'd like to get closer with?

Try it, you'll thank me later

 

 

See you soon

So as you may know from the title its that time again- MERRY MONDAY EVERYONE! Happy today? I hope so, but if not, keep reading for merry monday inspiration!

So todays quote is...... Drumrole please.............

"This above all; To thine self be true"

So this was a short one hope you enjoyed and remember this week be CONFIDENT.

Love you lots and see you soon

Lippys!

Helllllllllllllllooooooooooooo bloggerettos!

So I thought I'd do a wee review  on two lipsticks I have been in love with! Recently I have been obsessed with pink lipsticks! Not any in particular until bam! I found two from Avon!! The two that I have been in love with are:

Pink prance (A light beige/pink/sparkely perfection) and

Kiss Me Pink (A bright bold pink/dark coral amazingness)

I know the two colours are very different but thats what attracted me to them! If any of you are wondering Avon is a brittish company for beauty and thingymabobs! I am in love with avon and spend far too much money but ahlass it would get wasted in anotherway I am sure!
Thats all for just now and as Tigger would say TTFN ta ta for now!

See you soon bloggerettos
Love

Homework, cuppa's and Oor Wullie!

Hey blogerettos!

Today has been good. Got up with a better attitude - or atleast I felt like that. School was okay, got so much homework though - its unbelievable!!! Homework:- too much like hard work in my opinion but trust me, its worth it! Keep perservering!

Got my hair done tonight! WOO! Put my sidefringe and layers back in aswell as taking about two inches off my hair!!! Its really nice when you get your hair done as it makes you feel good about yourself! Have any of you had your hair done reccently???

There was a picture but I can't seem to find it (Well done Emma)

Then band tonight- its getting less enjoyable each week to be honest. Its about winning and not the music anymore. I don't want that.

Ah well today has been good!

I'm now sitting with a big mug of tea (OOR WULLIE MUG) and my english book - a christmas carol *sigh*
Oor wullie for anyone who doesn't know was a comic when I was younger i'll insert a picture here-ish

I did have a review on Esty.com but because I am a reatard I deleted it by accident, so I'll repost it either tonight or tommorow!

Love you all,

Emamama

My dog!!!!!

Woof woof blogerettos!
You may have guessed by the title what this blog post is going to be about... My dog!! (We are all excited because who doesn't like dogs?)
So onto my dog, his name is bear, he is 19 months old and is a st. Wieler (thats a mix between a St.Bernard and a Rotweiler- sounds scary but he is honestly just a big lump of fur!
He is a golden brown colour with dark brown eyes and facial features.
We only got bear about four months ago as he formally belonged to my older cousin who was not able to look after him anymore. This was good as it ment that we had known him since he was a pup and we got a dog!
I was always an animal person and had my cat ginger since I was around two years old, we had rescued her from an abusive family and did not know how old she was and our whole family was deveatated when she died on the 7th of august 2012. It has left a massive gap inside me, but bear has filled a big chunk of that hole. But don't think I have replaced her because I haven't!
Well thats all guys, goodnight and i'll see you soon!
Love you all
Emamama
P.S sorry if this was too personal or boring, please comment, like, whatever!

Merry Monday #2

We meet again blogerettos.... (Thats a new intro)

SO its time for MERRY MONDAY once again *overly excited cheer* Hasn't this week gone by so fast? Haha, well anyway this weeks merry message (thats a cute name for it) is...........

I picked this quote for a few reasons actually (Being all smarty-like today Emma?)

1.  I loved the picture ~ that is such a sad reason, I know
2. The past week I have been reviewing my life, not just in the shower which we all do ;) but seriously taking a step back and looking at my life. I'm not quite sure what triggered this whole ispirational thing but reccently in my life I have felt very depressed  and angered with myself for reasons which only those closest to me know (My mummy) This has really started to affect me and those closest to me, so I have decieded to snap my lazy rear into action and do something about it, and cheesy as it sounds, I'm about to jump back on the horse and get riding again - so to speak.
3. And the final reason is to inspire you blogerettos out there! I know teenage life can be hard; laughter, lies and tears to be precise but honestly you are amazing and you need to realise your full potential!!!

Thats all from me bloggerettos, sorry its been such a long chatty one but ah well!
And guys don't ever keep your problems to yourself - there's always someone willing to hear your story....
Bye guys!
Emamama

Ask.fm

Hello blogerettos, again!

So, I was asked to do a blog about that ask.fm thing. Now please do not take this blog in an offensive way because it is in no way made to upsrt or affend anyone! This community of blogerettos is fun and love! NO hate!

Now I do not have one of these asks but many people I know have it and many of them have had problems with 'haters' And one of my biggest hates is bullying because it makes no sense to me. I mean how can you bully someone for not being perfect when no one is? Huh? answer me that. However I feel very little sympathy for these people as these things are made with annoymous settings so that people can post hate. Come on guys, lets be realistic, who hasen't said/posted something nasty about someone else?

So people make these accounts and get upset when someone says something nasty? If you are so easily offended don't make one! Its simple!

Sorry for the rant blogerettos but it was needed, kind of ;)!

See you soon
Emamama

Merry Monday! :)

Hello blogerettos!

How has your merry monday been? Mine has been great! I have decided to try a different attitude with my life and sitting here at my computer I find it hard to explain. Its a more cheery attitude but I don't really want to say that as im not a negitive person and thats what it makes it sound like....

Anyway, this is my new idea - "Merry Mondays" and I got the idea from sprinkleofglitter! (Cheeky!) So the whole point of this is that we all have a happy MERRY attitude for mondays! I mean how can you not like mondays? They are a new start, where we can be a whole new person for the rest of our lives, OK, mabye not that drastic but you get the idea right?

So why not when you get up next monday instead of thinking...

 

think - im going to have a MERRY MONDAY!!!

 

See you soon Blogerettos,

Love from Emamama

 

Valentines day<3!

Hello bloggerettos!
So em, I was flicking through some tweets on my twitter @emmamiller21 and saw one that said 'oh no, valentines day is going to be so bad 'coz im single' and I wanted to take them and strangle them, aghhhh! I mean to me, and it may just be me but valentines day isn't about being single or in a relasionship its about love. And who says love is only for a boyfriend/girlfriend? No one. No one said that so why nowadays are we misjudging valentines day. Surely it should be giving praise and love to those closest to us? Anyway, this was just a quick blog based on my valentines day, I hope it gave you a different outlook or atleast made you think slightly differently. Show some LOVE this valentines, to EVERYONE. Enjoy your valentines day bloggerettos.
See you soon,
Love Emamama

New blogger!

So hello bloggerettos, im emma and I am a new blogger I guess. Fun times ahead I see! This is actually quite a scary idea for me as something you may not know about me is that I lack quite a lot of self confidence so doing this is kind of a late new years resoloution. So yeah, please like, follow read my blogs and i'll be doing daily ones, see you later,
Love from emamama. Peace out!
