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...

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!
