Journal Entry: Thieves Of The Night

This is a story of the elves, not the tall noble elves for Tolkien's tales or the happy elves from Christmas corals, that bring excitement and cheer, but in fact the tinkering kind that came in the night, to add frustration to our lives.

They steal our socks and move our books, and when winter comes the pinch a glove or two, sneaking in quietly, almost politely they listen in as we blame the home work eating dog or the washing machine, as one by one our items disappear. Smiling to them selves slightly at another nights job is done and another days pillage has been won!

I hope you like this, its just something I had in my mind and decided to jot down.

DIY Ring Box!

Over the recent year I have been buying more and more rings, especially now you can by sets of midi rings, but I wanted some where to put them as my ring draw in my jewellery box was getting over crowded. So I decided to make a ring box and I thought I would share with you how I made it!

 



This is the finished product!

Step 1: first I found a box that I likes and used electrical tape to seal off the openings! You can use any tape you want, I just had electrical tape on hand at the time.

Step 2: Next I used an old Primark bag and PVA glue to completely cover the box, I got my PVA glue from poundland, its a really big bottle and works really well.

 

Step 3: once I had covered the box in the brown paper, I then covered it in white tissue to make sure it can be painted over easily.

Step 4: Next I then began to measure and mark out the possible size I want to cut out for the lid.

 

Step 5:once the glue had dried I painted it orange using a tester pot of orange wall paint.

Step 6: when the paint had dried I then double checked the measurement, which showed through the paint and cut out the lid using a Stanley knife ***these knifes are very sharp and I advise that if you aren't confident using them or if you are young then please get somebody else to cut it for you, preferably an adult! .

Step 7:once the lid was cut I covered the edges with the white electrical tape because I hadn't cut it very neatly....

Step 8: next I used my glue gun to make an out line around the edges of the box which I then painted white as well as adding a pin in to the front covered in the same way with a piece of twine glued to the top to make a closure.

Step 8: once the outside was complete I then cut a sponge to the right size, and cut slits in it where I will be putting my rings!

Here is the finished product...

I hope you guys liked this kind of post, thanks for reading

The jewellery I wore was also from Newlook, I wore this silver finished statement necklace with silver chain tassels,  as well as this four pack of silver finished, moon and star embellished midi-rings, although the rings stated on the packet that they are one-size, on the website it states that they come in multiply sizes.

Also I wore this white Parisian style blazer, pair with a pair of black ankle boots, with round blunted studs around the heel, which I bought from primark a few years ago.

Journal Entry: I didn't ruin the wok, but I did break the freezer

I love to cook, and at the moment stir fries are my favourite thing to cook, the other night I was making one, and I asked my dad to come and check my vegetable to noodle ratio because I'm not the best person to judge food portions. When my dad came to check it he turned the heat up, I usually cook on a lower temperature so I know that the food is cooking inside and out, then after two minutes my dad asked if I had enough oil, and I knew that I had enough in, but because he turned the heat up full the food began to stick to the pan so I of course I got the blame. Because I was annoyed about this when I went to get something out of the freezer, all I could think about was the wok and because I wasn't concentrating, the draw fell out and shattered on the floor... well done me!

Just my luck

Blog Changes

As I have said before I am still learning how to work blogger, so I if you guys coming on and it looks different that's because I'm testing out new layouts and designs, so please bear with me, some changes may look good, others awful, but i'm trying my best with what I have and the knowledge I have.

Thank you

My Everyday Make Up

Most days I don't wear makeup and that's because I only go college or stay at home most of the time, and when im at home I don't see the point of wearing a full face of makeup on my lazy days, so I just give my skin a break; and I don't wear makeup for college because I would rather have the extra time in bed, and after the first day I stop trying and most days appear in a hoody, jeans and converse!

But for the days where I do wear make up through out the day, I keep it simple unless it is some sort of event or celebration!

First I apply my Simple Kind To Skin Vital Day Cream! I don't like wearing foundation unless I really have to, so a lot of the time its BB Cream and Concealer. For BB cream I wear Maybelline Pure Dream BB Cream in Medium and for concealer I use Revlon Colour Stay in Medium Deep.

I mix these because I have olive skin and the colour that suits me the best is these to mixed, although if I need to I can get away with just wearing the bb cream on its own, although most of the time the concealer is too dark on its own, unless iv caught the sun but sometimes I have to use a whole different shade!

I just out these two on the back of my hand and mix it together, then use a concealer brush to apply it under my eyes around my nose and where ever else I need it the use a stippling brush to blend it all in!
