Halloween!!

Hello everyone!!

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

Autumn!

Hello Everyone!

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!!

Summer into Autumn

Hello,

So today I (mouse) am going to be doing quite a random blog post on summer in general! By the way, sorry if you live in the Southern Hemisphere because I know that it is the end of winter there so come back in six months! Haha! But in the northern hemisphere, it is now unfortunately the end of summer/beginning of autumn. 

Personally, I love Autumn but that is when back to school happens and you have less time to chill out and more time to work! What's your favourite season? 

I love this quote about summer which is like 'Summer. Hair gets lighter. Skin gets darker. Water gets warmer. Drinks get colder. Music gets louder. Nights get longer. Life gets better.' It's such a nice quote and it's so true as well!

But then there is also this lovely quote about Autumn 'Hoodies, hot cocoa, boots, jeans, cuddling, crisp air, flushed cheeks. I live for Autumn.' The thing is, all seasons are lovely for different reasons. It's just personal opinion on which season is your favourite or whether you love all seasons.

I don't have a favourite season, all of them are my favourite!

Sorry about the rambling, different type of blog post and sorry it was a bit shorter. I just wanted to share some thoughts!

Film Ratings

Hey guys!

So today, I (mouse) am going to be talking about films! Yes, this is a completely different post to normal but i thought that it would be a fun post. Also seeing as it is nearly Autumn, I will be wanting to watch a film in the evenings when it is cold outside! (Disclaimer : I wanted to write about films that everyone would be able to watch so these films will only be PG or 12 rated). Don't worry there won't be any spoilers!

1. 10 Things I Hate About You

This is a chick flick from the 90's, it is just one of those generic rom-coms where you fall in love with the characters! It portrays two sisters with completely different personalities unable to date until the eldest sister dates someone (but the older sister is undateable!)  There is some interesting fashion choices in there though! I would rate it 9/10.

2. My Big Fat Greek Wedding

This is a great comedy where a Greek lady and a high school teacher (who isn't Greek) fall in love. The Greek lady's family are eccentric and hilarious! I would rate it 8/10.

3. Warm Bodies

Human teenagers roam the outside world during a zombie apocalypse, and unfortunately cross paths with a group of hungry zombies. In this group of hungry zombies is a unique zombie called R who crosses paths with Julie (human). I rate this 9.5/10.

I hope you enjoyed this slightly different blog post! Sorry that it was slightly shorter and based mostly on romantic movies, if you want a different genre of movies for us to review leave us a comment down below and we will be sure to make a blog post on one of your requests!

Back To School: First Day Expectations Vs.Reality!

Hello everyone!

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  .

Back to school essentials

Hey guys!

So today we are going to be talking to you about back to school essentials! Yes, no one wants to hear those dreaded words but you will have to go back to school sooner or later (unless you have already gone back then we feel your pain!) 

1. The obvious... A bag! We recommend a backpack because it causes an equal amount of strain on both of your shoulders! (Oh so technical) make sure your bag is big enough to fit wverything in but not too big that isn't is too heavy!

2. A pencil case! Fill it with pens, pencils, crayons, erasers and all those lovely pieces of stationary! We LOVE stationary! Also include a lipbalm, mirror and some tissues because we guarantee that you will use them A LOT.

3. Notebooks, binders, folders etc. The cuter the notebook then the better because they encourage you to take notes and then BAM! A great set of revision notes!

4. A bag of necessities. This could include a small amount of makeup, plasters, paracetamol (if your school allows it), womanly essentials (if you are a woman obvs) and any other things you think that will be useful can go in this handy kit!

5. If you live somewhere that is rainy then a cute fold up umbrella is essential!

Some cool shops and websites to buy these items from are...
