MY NEW CARD BUSINESS! (I NEED YOUR HELP)


Hello All!
Finally sticking to my word and bringing you this post after a long while but I will be posting every Wednesday from now on as I have lots of ideas and inspiration.
But it's a really important one and I need the blogging community to really help me spread this post around.

I'd had a very boring summer and I'm a naturally creative person and always enjoyed art at school but since starting college, I had no way of getting crafty.
Then I popped into my head that I could start creating handmade cards and try sell them. I set up a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/handmadecardsbymegan/ and although it's only been a month, I've had a few orders, I have a couple of events planned and even set up a competition with a local business.







However,
I would love to expand into instead of selling locally but more further a field and I was pleased with the audience I had when writing my blog last year and I thought that blogging could really improve my business.

So here's what I'm asking all of you!
Please check out and maybe even like my Facebook page (I would LOVE to reach 100 likes by the time I'm starting college. I post pictures regularly of products you can buy and over the next month or so to some people's delight and others... well maybe not, I will be bringing out a lot of christmas/halloween treats.

Like the photo of the card you like the best on my facebook page. This will give me sort of a survey to see which is most popular so I can make it in bulk.

Enter my competition! All you have to do is like, share and comment on this post and you won't believe how far it goes with every share. I live in Yorkshire and this post was reaching the facebook newsfeed's of people in America! (Wow) AND if you've already liked the page, your just a share (and a comment or like just because privacy settings can stop me seeing your entry) from being able to win some sweetie goodies and a card designed by me.

And finally, follow me on my social medias, share your thoughts, comment on this blog, I'd love your thoughts.



If you know of someones birthday, wedding, christening, dance exam, maybe a friend has done something kind for you, maybe your friend is leaving for university/college - anything! Consider buying a handmade card, I am willing to make anything and in the end I think it gives a more personalised, thoughtful message.

Thanks for reading!

MY TOP 5 MAKE-UP PRODUCTS - DECEMBER

Today's post is all about the top 5 beauty products I have been using throughout December, some which i have only just discovered and some old favourites I buy again and again! Depending on how helpful you guys feel this is, I may do this monthly or either do my top 5 of something else, who knows! Some of you may have used these before and not like them but I am open to all opinions in the comments.


So, in no paticular order....



#1 - Bourjois Liner Feutre by Bourjois Paris - £6.99

I live by this eyeliner! Unlike some other eyeliner felt tips i have previously used, the tip doesn't become all fluffy as it starts to run out and it still stays thin and precise until it runs out. It is longlasting, it will stay on all day and I've found that it doesn't smudge that easily. It last longer and i personally find it much easier than liquid liner which I am terrible at! It is also good value for money and affordable.



#2 - Rimmel London Wonderfull Mascara - £7.99



I have had this mascara for a while and it never lets me down. My eyelashes are ridiculously short to the point i feel like i have none without make up! (Okay maybe a slight exaggeration there meg) But this helps alot! They're lengthened My lashes stay individual and long rather than all thick and clumped together like some other mascaras I've used and again it lasts ages and it's affordable!




#3 - Mac Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick 04 


Now this is actually the first mac product I have got and i actually received this lipstick from a friend at college as a secret santa. I have never thought of myself as a lipstick person but I was pleasantly surprised by this product and it has come in good use ever since. Unfortunately when i tried to find a price for you all, i learnt that this must have been an old collection and I don't think it is available in Mac stores anymore but Im sure that there is a similar colour. I have infact found it on Ebay though and it was $25 which is about £16.95 so it is still out there somewhere!




#4 - Bourjois Paris Air Mat Foundation - £9.99

This certainly isn't the cheapest foundation around but it is far from being the most expensive on the market. I only recently bought it but so far I'm liking it. I've previously tried another bourjois foundation which is the Healthy Mix one (think that's it's name) which is meant to be better for your skin. I do like that one but sometimes it can leave my face shiny as i have quite oily skin so decided to go for a matte one. At the moment I don't think I'm getting to see the full effect of this foundation but I do think that's down to my skin not being so great (hate you hormones!!!) But i do like it and i prefer it to other brands I've previously used.




#5 -  Ted Baker blush/highlighter set from the Ted Baker Sparkle and Shade set - £22 -£25

This was another product I received on christmas day which was infact part of a ted baker gift set. I don't think it is available individually and I'm not sure where it was bought due to it being a christmas present but it is on Ebay if anyone is interested. I think the exterior looks expensive and classy and I find it hard to use because I feel like it looks too fancy to use for going out to the shop or college haha! There are 3 gorgeous shades to combine into the perfect illuminator and blusher. The set even came with a lovely blusher brush which is also the same colour scheme which is a bronzey/rose gold kind of colour! 




I hope you liked my first beauty post of 2015! Let me know your favourite make up products in the comment or if you've got any recommendations!

MY ROOM TOUR 2016!

So after an incredibly busy year which turned me into the most unorganised person EVER, i finally got my act together and decided that i want to blog and i want to provide you all with at least an interesting 2 minute read during the week and between doing my A-levels i want to be able to tell someone what i’ve been getting up to so there you go! Whether I’m a good blogger or not (not had a good start lets be honest) I suppose it is a good way of documenting my life and meeting new people and bloggers! 



Amongst my realisation hitting me in 2016 which has made me want to do something productive and become a more organised 17 year old girl, I also spent the first day of 2016 tidying my bedroom inspiring this post which is a room tour for you all! you wont have seen the state it was in before but i can assure you it was an absolute mess! I adore my room just because it is my own tiny space and just the right size, i doubt i could keep a bigger room tidy because i struggle even with mine! 

 Although I am now 17, i still feel the need to have a space for stationary, notebooks, felt tips, post it notes, even felt tips! I love how they slot into the cupboard which doesn't have a door on anymore so it's basically an open shelf. The owl contains last years 'happy memories' which I hope to do again!



 As soon as you enter my room you will see above my desk this lovely IKEA set of shelves which contain a mass of random things - I call it my shelf of many things. It contains candles, diffusers, little keepsakes and kinder egg toys from when i was younger (don't judge) and a sweetie jar to name a few! I'm quite the nostalgic person!
You know when you arrange your perfumes and they look like a cute family photo all organised and presentable...yeah haha

I FINALLY got round to arranging my make up properly. My desk below my shelves is handy as it opens up into a little dressing table with a mirror and separate compartments so i can keep my make up out of sight and safe.

My recent additions (still require name ideas pls) my two little fishies in their tank bought by my twin sister for christmas, such a unique present idea!

Owls seem to be the theme of my room and i had no intention for this so please don't think I am obsessed with owls!


Just a simple basket to keep all my soap and shower stuff in!
here is a view of my little room! It may be small but i love it to pieces. Lets see how long i can keep it tidy haha!
