How to have the perfect Halloween Party!
Today its Giraffe, and I'm going to be telling you ways that you can host the perfect Halloween party!
1. Drinks:
To make your drinks look super spooky, you can use food colouring to make the drinks all kinds of Halloween themed colours. You could also decorate the cups or glasses with Halloween stickers, cobwebs (cotton balls pulled apart) or even paint on drips of blood or slime!
2. Food:
To have quick and easy Halloween cupcakes and cookies...
1. Buy them ready made!
2. Decorate with icing- you could do pumpkins, skulls, gravestones etc.
3. Wait for the icing to set
4. Enjoy you scary treats!!
3. Decorations:
There are 2 options with decorations..
1. You can go to a shop and buy them
2. You can make them... you could have a friend round the day before the party and carve loads of pumpkins or make paper garlands etc. There's loads of DIYs that you can try out on YouTube and tumblr!
4. Music:
It's good to have music playing in the background! Even better is to have halloween themed music as well as your favourite songs!
Here's a few Halloween songs that you may like:
- Thriller
- Monster Mash
- This is Halloween
- Highway to Hell
- Ghost busters
5. Activities:
Activities that you could do are:
- Have a costume competition and give the person who's best dressed a special prize
- Watch a horror film
- A scavenger hunt- the things that you have to find could be mini pumpkins.
I hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully it gave yo some ideas to make yo Halloween party the BEST!

Halloween!!
Today it's just giraffe and guess what?!?!!!?? It's October!! And that means one thing... It nearly Halloween 😝 with Halloween just round the corner I thought that I would give you a few ideas on Halloween costumes! Enjoy!
1. Wound or scar: this is a really simple idea that you can spook out your friends with. Take some face paint (professional or from a Halloween store) and create a scars and wounds of all kinds on your face (there are LOADS of videos in YouTube to show you how) and then you can wear what ever clothes you like.. This is good if you live in a rainy, cold place like the UK !!!!!
2. "Ready-made" costumes: you could go to a grocery store or a Halloween shop and just buy a costume and (optionally) a wig, then you just have to whip it on and you are ready to go!
3. Sugar skull: using face paint, or any make up of your choice, create a sugar skull design on your face (there are, again, a lot of tutorials on YouTube to follow) and then wear a black top, a tutu and a cape (optional) and you have the perfect outfit to go with your sugarskull make up!
4. Your favourite celebrity: search for a picture of your favourite celebrity and try to re-create what clothes they generally wear. Then, recreate their make up and hairstyle (using a wig might help if you have different hair colours to them) and you are done!
5. Vampire: this one is really easy!! Paint your face so that it is really pale but not quite white. Wear dark clothes and put some fake blood on the corners of your lips.
6. Devil: paint your whole face red and wear red clothes. Wear some devil horns, these can be found in most shops or Halloween stores. If you want a more 'glam' devil, do a smokey eye using black and red, wear a matte red lipstick, devil horns and a red dress.
I hope you enjoyed this blogpost, we may post some more costume ideas so don't worry if none of the ones above 'float your boat'!!! Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter @cailascreations
Byeeee!!

Autumn!
Today it's Giraffe (if you don't understand who 'Giraffe' is, then please look back at our first post) and today I'm going to tell you all of the things that I look forward to when Autumn comes along :)
1. Watching TV - Yep!! It probably sounds weird since you can watch TV any time of the year, but I find it more fun in Autumn because all of the decent Saturday night shows start (like Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor etc etc) and you can sit on the sofa with your friends and cuddle up in blankets!!
2. Make Up - I love eyeshadows like burnt oranges, golds and browns because I think they go well with all colours of eyes. They also fit in with the transitions of colours of the leaves :) Another part of autumnal make up that I like is the cranberry lipstick!!
3. Fashion - I love ankle boots and I personally think that autumn is the perfect time to wear them. I also like sweaters and big jumpers.
4. Cups of Tea - I think it's just nicer to have tea in autumn because its not the same having it in summer because you're all hot and bothered and then once you've had your tea you get even hotter!!!!
Sorry this post was kind of short, next time we will try to do a more detailed one and hopefully we will be together to write it :) Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter (both @cailascreations )
We'll see you next time.. Byee!!

Back To School: First Day Expectations Vs.Reality!
First of all sorry that this post is being published on a Tuesday, it is just Giraffe today and I'm very forgetful so yeah! Anyhow, today I thought it would be fun to write about some Expectations Vs. Reality when it comes to the first day back to school. I've seen LOADS of these on YouTube so I thought it would be cool to do it in a blog post.. so let's get started!!!
1. Make Up
Expectation:
Me: "I have an idea, next week when it's the first day back I'm going to put all of my make up out on my desk so I don't have to worry about where it all is!"
Reality:
Me: "OMG! Where's the mascara?? Why has my moisturiser leaked all over my drawer?? Why is my foundation suddenly WAY too dark?!?!"
2. Skin Care
Expectation:
Me: (Morning of first day, looks in mirror) "I'm so happy my skin care routine has made my skin soft and acne free for school :D"
Reality:
Me: (Morning of first day, looks in mirror) "gasp! I actually think I'm about to collapse and die!! WHY is there a massive red spot right in the centre of my forehead?!?! I did a skin care routine and everything, why did I have to run out of concealer yesterday :'("
3. Form Time
Expectation:
Teacher: "Ok everyone, I would like you all to come up individually and say your name and 3 hbbies so that we an get to know each other."
Me: Walks to front swiftly "Hello my name is 'Giraffe', my hobbies are: hanging out with friends, watching YouTube videos and playing with my pets."
Reality:
Teacher: "Ok everyone, I would like you all to come up individually and say your name and 3 hbbies so that we an get to know each other."
Me: Gets stuck behind chair, stubs toe, trips up on a 'popular' girls' designer handbag and lands directly into the teacher's desk catapulting her coffee onto a group of girls, finally runs back to own chair and hides.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post. It wass a bit different to usual but it was very fun to write. Please comment below and follow us on twitter and instagram- both @cailascreations .

Ending school for summer!
Today it's just giraffe here and the first thing I would like to say is we are very sorry that this post is quite late!! But anyways, is is another part of our summer extravaganza series. This post will be on things to do in preparation for when we leave for the summer! Even if you have already finished school, you could still try a few of these tips!
1. Teachers- sometimes we love our teachers and sometimes we HATE them, but it's always good to say thanks very so often. Our teachers put in a lot of effort to plan and do our lessons so why not say thank you on your last lesson with them or even make your favourite teacher a card to say thanks :)
2. Photos- if you are in a year/grade that is the last one for the school (eg- if your school is from year 9-13 and you are in year13) it might be a good idea to take lots of pictures of yourself and your friends around your school site, we all know that our parents say that school is the best time of your life so that means we need to make sure to make memories and photos are a great way to do so!
3. Celebrate- celebrating isn't an option, it is compulsory!!!! You can celebrate by having a 'gathering' it's your friends, having a house party, a pool party, going out for a meal- there are so many options and it's a great way to end your term before summer.
4. 'Summer body'- you have probably seen on Instagram or YouTube or Pinterest saying things like 10 easy steps to getting the perfect summer body..... Ignore it!! Just because it's summer it doesn't mean that you have to go on a crazy diet to make yourself look good. Also, always wear sun cream. You are probably thinking "but how am I going to tan?" It is still possible to tan even if you have factor 50 sun cream on! And if you don't tan well and want to fake it instead DONT use sun beds as they can increase the risk of skin cancer, always choose self tan or spray tan over sun beds! (Im pretty sure we have mentioned this before but it is very important to be reminded!!)
I hope you enjoyed these tips and advice! We hope you have an amazing summer. Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter, our username for both is @cailascreations ☺️
Byeeee!

5 Things To Do With Your Friends This Summer! (Summer Extravaganza Series)
So, as the second part of the 'Summer Extravaganza Series', we wanted to talk about 5 different things that you can do with your friends this summer!
1. Go camping! Whether it is just camping in your garden or in a completely different part of the country! It's really fun to camp outside in the dark and there are loads of different things you can do e.g tell ghost stories.
2. Play Twister with an interesting twist! You put coloured paint or shaving cream mixed with food dye on each of the spots and then start playing! Make sure to play outside because it will get messy!

10 Things To Do This Summer! (Summer Extravaganza!)
'
So this is going to be a cool announcement! We are going to be doing a 'Summer Extravaganza!' We are not sure how often we will upload during this series maybe twice a week maybe once! (We will announce how many times we are planning to upload on Twitter @cailascreations ooh a little self promotion...)
To kick start this series we thought we would give you a list of 10 things you can do this summer!
1. Exercise- this could include trekking (but we will write a more in depth post about ways to stay active this summer!!)
2. Make smoothies with berries that you can pick yourself- make sure these are safe and washed!!! You can find different kind of recipes on tumblr, pinterest or just on Google! If you want us to do a post about different nutritious food then comment down below!
3. Go on an adventure- whether its in your own town or on the other side of the country... EXPLORE! (obviously, get parental permission and don't travel to the other side of the country on your own ;) )
4. Personalize your room! We put up some blog posts on personalizing your room! http://cailascreations.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/personalizing-and-organising-your-room.html this is a blog post we made last year and it shows ideas for how to personalize your room for summer! We also made one for Winter, Autumn and Spring! The summer holidays are the perfect time to make your room reflect your personality.
5. Have a break from social media. Turn off the phone, laptop and ipad! Whether this is for the day or the whole of summer. Go outside and have fun (take your phone BUT JUST FOR EMERGENCIES).
6. Learn a new skill - it could be how to speak a foreign language, play a new instrument or just how to do a cartwheel! There are so many possibilities and can really help when you are bored.
7. Earn a bit of pocket money! You could go do a car boot sale, sell stuff on Ebay, go to clothes banks or even mow someones lawn!
8. Make something! It could be anything! Get outside and get creative! Whether its just a doodle or a sculpture!
9. It's OK to have a few lazy days! We all need a break from school or work so the holidays are the perfect opportunity! You could have a lazy day with your best friends or just with the sun and a good book (and sun cream!)
10. Stay outside with sun cream! Help your parents mow the lawn or do some revision in the garden! It will improve your mood and is was better than wasting the summer inside on your phone! Make a promise to yourself that every day of summer you will go outside only if it is just poking your head out of the window!
We really hope you enjoyed our first blog post of summer and if you have any more ideas of what to do this summer comment down below or tweet us and follow us on Instagram - @cailascreations
See you soon!

Would You Rather Tag
So today it is only mouse and I will be doing the Would You Rather Tag! I know that there have already been quite a few tags on our blog, but the questions in this tag are awesome!
So lets get on with the post!
1) Would you rather walk around all day with you skirt tucked in your underwear or be seen wearing a really see through dress?
~Erm... This is a tough question... Probably the see through dress because my hair might hide it a bit and so would a jacket!
2) Would you rather go to a party and not realize until the end of the night that you have lipstick on your teeth or that your fake lashes are coming unglued?
~I think I would go for the lipstick on the teeth because I could be wearing a nude lipstick and it wouldn't be too noticeable I guess!
3)Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?
~Blush! This was an easy question for me! I just hate the idea of only one eye without mascara!
4) Would you rather wear lipstick/lipliner combo or frosty blue eyeshadow?
~Ohh, this is a hard question! I think it would have to be the lipstick/lipliner combo just because I am not extremely keen on the blue eyeshadow! :D
5) Would you rather wear foundation that is two shades too light or go way overboard on bronzer?
~Foundation!! I do not want to look like I just fell over and face planted into a load of mud!
6) Would you rather drink an entire bottle of ketchup or run into the guy who broke your heart on a bad hair day when your skin is freaking out?
~I think I would go for the guy who broke my heart one because AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF KETCHUP IS JUST DISGUSTING!!!
7) Would you rather be able to date any celeb you wanted or wake up with perfect red carpet-worthy hair?
~I would date any celeb I wanted because then I could have my own hairstylist and voila! Perfect red carpet worthy hair!
8) Would you rather your armpits smell musky or like delicious lasagna?
~Delicious lasagna because... It's delicious!
9)Would you rather give up your makeup or mobile phone for one year?
~My mobile phone because I could use a computer!
10) Would you rather run into a cute guy you like with food in your teeth or no makeup at all?
~No makeup... I don't really have an explanation, I just thought it was better.
Ok, so I hope you enjoyed this blog post! If you answer any of these questions or want to ask us any questions, either comment down below, tweet us or follow us on Instagram. Our usernames on both Twitter and Instagram is @cailascreations

Spring Hairstyle Ideas! x
Today it's just giraffe and I'm going to share with you a few ideas of how to do your hair in Spring!
1. Of course whenever we talk about Spring we can't ever forget flower crowns!!! Flower crowns re really popular to wear ad are really affordable from shops like Primark and New Look. If you prefer you can opt for the headband version or even make your own with faux flowers, wire (or an old headband) and a hot glue gun*) *If you do make your own be sure that you are confident using a hot glue gun because, obviously, they get really hot!!
