How to be a morning person

Heyyy! 

So today we are talking about how to be a morning person because if we wake up halfway throughout the day in summer we always feel like we have wasted most of the day and most of you probably do as well!

So here are some of our top tips on how to be a morning person!

1. Alarm clocks - there are several different options for this section!

- Have a gradual alarm that wakes you up slowly and makes you feel less sleepy.

- Get the app 'Sleepcycle' or any other similar apps that wake you up at the right time and tell you different information about your sleep.

- Put your alarm on the other side of the room causing you to get up out of bed, making you wake up.

- Have one alarm, if you have multiple alarms then you get into the habit of snoozing the alarm.

2. When you wake up either splash your face with room temperature water or have a shower or hot bath to wake you up. Use some of your favourite smelling lush products!!

3. Have breakfast!! Loads of people don't have breakfast and this is very bad! *tut tut* If you don't have  enough time in the morning to make it you could make a fruit smoothie the night before. Make sure it's balanced and it has lots of nutritious foods in it. Also remember to refrigerate it! 

4. If you're going to work or school in the morning you can plan your make up and outfit the night before. 

5. Set your clock about 5 to 10 minutes fast so that you know that you won't be late!

Summer essentials (Summer extravaganza)

Hey guys!

So today, I (mouse) will be telling you about summer essentials!

Hope you enjoy!

1. Sun cream... I know I know, this is the most obvious one! But it is so important to keep your skin healthy! So many people forget to put it on and over the whole summer they keep forgetting and they burn so badly! Sometimes it is a bit of a pain to put on but if you use spray on sun cream it is so quick and easy!

2. Kimono - a pretty kimono is great for summer because it makes any outfit look gorgeous but also it feels like you are wearing nothing, but keeping the sun off of your shoulders and arms!

3. BB cream or tinted moisturiser - instead of caking on layers of foundation which is just going to make your skin oily, a nice light BB cream or tinted moisturiser will feel light on the skin but will also give you a touch of coverage!

4. A cute bottle or cup - this will keep you motivated to drink plenty of water because it is such a cute bottle or cup and will also keep you lovely and hydrated!

5. A bold lip colour or eyeliner - you only need one of these because if you have both and you wear them at the same time you might look slightly crazy! But having a pop of colour will transform the way you look into a summery goddess!

Ending school for summer!

Hey everyone!

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)

Hey guys!

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!

3. Have a water fight, simple but essential! Get out the water balloons, water guns and anything you can get your hands on!

4. Go out on a bike ride! Take a picnic, a camera and a bike! It's lovely to feel the wind in your hair and get away from social media.

5. Have a photoshoot in the evening when the sun is setting. It makes a perfect background for a photoshoot!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post! If you have any other ideas be sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter (@cailascreations)

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!
