10 Things To Do This Summer! (Summer Extravaganza!)

Hey guys!
'
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

Hey guys! <3

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

Hey Everyone!

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!!

2. I personally think that big messy braids/plaits are always fun to wear- they're stylish and keep your hair out of your face! To do this, tie your hair in a low ponytail on one side of your face. Next you can do whatever type of braid you like (normal, fishtail etc). Then, slide the elastic or hair tie down to the bottom to make the top loose and to hold together your braid at the bottom. Finally, you can "pancake" your braid. This is basically just pulling the sides a little at a time to create a big messy hairstyle!

3. This one is more of a hair colour idea!! If you feel like having lighter hair in spring but you're too scared to dye all of your hair a light brown or blonde, then try the Sun kiss Jelly by Loreal! If gradually lightens your hair in the sunlight and you can either apply it to all of your hair or just precise parts (eg: as highlights or a 'natural' ombre effect).

I hope you enjoyed these 3 ideas of things that you could do with you hair in Spring. Of course you can alter them to your personal preference.

Exam tips! x

Hey Everyone!

Today it's giraffe and I'm going to tell you a few tips on how to survive through the exam period!!

1. Eat brain food! This can include fish, wholegrain and blueberries.

2. When revising write notes in really bright colours for example use sharpies! You can also make posters to stick on your bedroom walls.

3. Organise what exams/tests you need to revise for first. For example if you had a test tomorrow, revise for that one first, if you have one in a week, revise for that one last.

4. Ask your teachers for help. Sometimes people don't like to ask the teacher if they don't understand something but you can't take any chances when it comes to exams.

5. Sleep! If you are one of those people that goes to bed at 1:00 and wakes up at 6:00, your brain needs to rest in order for you to be ready and awake the the day ahead. If you need to, pack your bag, choose an outfit and plan your breakfast the night before so that you can have an extra half an hour in bed!

Sorry this post was kind of short but I hope it helped you! Make sure to follow us on twitter and instagram, both @cailascreations and tag tweets and photos with #cailascreations so that we see it!

April Favourites

Hey guys!

So today it is only mouse here! And today I am going to be telling you about what I have been loving throughout the course of April!

Let's get onto the post...

1. The first thing is a random favourite and that is the song Dear Future Husband by Meghan Trainor. You may have seen in our 'Top 5...' post that we mentioned this song, but it is literally so amazing!! It is a really upbeat and happy song that will make you feel like dancing (hopefully!). I am actually listening to it at the moment as I type this!!

2. The PointlessBook (the first one, I haven't gotten the second one yet) but i just find it so therapeutic to do and just a great activity for rainy days or any time really! I have done loads of mine so I might buy the second one soon!

3. Bright and colourful eyeshadows! There is no specific product for this favourite but since it is spring, I am constantly wearing brighter colours (I am wearing blue eyeliner at the moment!) but some palettes with bright colours are...

The Urban Decay Electric palette

But we understand that this is quite a pricey product so as a cheaper alternative there is the MUA Poptastic palette but still fantastic!

Sorry that this was a shorter post than usual! What have you been loving recently? Tweet us or follow us on Instagram - we (un)follow back. Also we give shoutout for shoutouts!
