Easy Halloween Bat D.I.Y

Hey guys,

Today I thought that I was time for us to do an easy Halloween d.i.y because its getting very close to Halloween and I needed something to get me and hopefully all of you in the mood for some Halloween fun. So today I decided I wanted to make these cool Halloween treat bats, they can also be used as decorations too.

All you need is:

Toilet roll tube
Paper/ Card (preferably black)
Glue
Scissors
Colouring pens/pencils/ Paint ( you can choose which one you want)
Glue
Sticky tape

Step 1
Get your toilet roll tube and colour the outside black, you can paint it as well i just chose to colour as you don't have to wait for it to dry.

Step 2
Get a piece of paper/card and a large circular shaped object and draw around it to make two large circles.














Step 3
Then cut the circles out if you need help from an adult then make sure you do.

Step 4
Next fold the circles in half  glue both of the sides together then paint/colour your semi circles in.

Step 5
Get the two half circles and cut half circles out of the straight end of them and that should make your wings.















Step 6
Now we need to bend the top of the toilet paper tube in to the middle so that the bat looks like it has ears.














Step 7
Then put both the wings together and tape them to the back of your bat.















Step 8
Tape them onto the back of the toilet roll tube.

Step 9
Now its time to draw the face on the bat and your done.

If you want to make them into sweet holders then put the sweets inside of it and put some tissue underneath to stop the sweets from falling out. Also you could make a string of bats to hang up but hole punching the sides and putting sting through them.

I hope you like this D.I.Y i tried to make it simple so that everyone can have a go and not feel overwhelmed by how complicated they are. Also if you do recreate this then don't forget to tag me in a picture on instagram my links in the bar at the top of the blog.

October Halloween Favourites

Hey Guys,

It's Halloween soon so i decided since I'm dedicating this month to Halloween I will dedicate some of my October favourites to Halloween and autumn too. I've tried to be a little creative with my pictures so I hope you like them.

1. Fiendish Fancies

You may only be able to get these in England but they are one of the best Halloween treats by far they do other kinda throughout the year such as Christmas ones.


2. Topshop Nail Varnish

This is a new purchase which I got this week and I already love it I can see this being one of my staple nail varnishes for the autumn period. I also got a Topshop lip stick and I'm sad to say that I was not impressed by it. I've heard lots of people talk about the Topshop make up range and its definitely let me down.

3. Sharpies

So these Sharpies are something which I have wanted for so long now but could never bring myself to get until now! I'm so glad that i got them they make my desk look colourful and there are a few D.I.Y's which I plan to use them for through out the next few months.

4.Owl Calender

This owl calender is also something i just had to buy I've wanted one of these never ending calendars for a while now and have been tempted to make my own but once I saw this hand crafted wooden owl one I fell in love with it and I will definitely get a lot of use out of it.

5. Cushions

I have gotten a few cushions over the last few weeks and two of them especially have really made me feel a bit autumnal because of the colours patterns and to be honest I just like dogs.

I hope you like my October favourites don't forget to leave a comment with some of your favourite things from October. Don't forget to come back on Monday for some more Halloween fun and don't forget to share this with your friends.

D.I.Y- Design it yourself Halloween Mug

Hey Guys,

So today I came up with a fun and easy D.I.Y that anyone can do and its to design your own Halloween mug. It doesn't matter if you cant draw, I cant and I think I did okay. All you will need is:-

A plain mug (I got white)
Sharpies
An Oven

1. The first thing you do is make sure that you wash your mug so that its nice and clean and ready to draw on.

2. Choose the colours of your Sharpies and a cool design and start drawing. If you do it wrong you can just simply wipe it off and start again.

3. Leave the mug a day or so to completely dry and make sure not to touch it.

4. Put the mug into a cold oven for 30 minutes at 170 degrees

There you have it some pretty cool mugs for your Halloween fun! I think these would be pretty cool gifts for your friends. Be careful when washing them if I was you i'd wash them by hands and be careful around the design. I hope you like this idea if you decide to make these don't forget to post them on Instagram and tag me.

Fall Spice Tag!

Hi Guys,

Today i decided to do the Fall Spice Tag because I love to do a good tag and since most of my other posts are Halloween related I decided that I should do something different even if its still related to the time of year.

1. Favourite Fall lip product?
Well once its fall my lips tend to start getting more dry so I like to use lip balm more than lip gloss or lip stick so this year I'm going to be using body shops Born Lippy range.

2. Red or Pink lips?
I prefer pink lips I don't think I could pull off the red lips.

3. Winged eye liner or bold shadow? 
I don't really wear winged eye liner so I will have to go for bold eye shadow.

4.Natural/ Cold/ Light or Bold/ Warm/ Dark make up? 
I think i prefer Natural/ Cold/ Light make up as like I said not sure I can pull off dark bold colours.

5.Favourite Fall Nail Polish?
My favourite fall nail polish has to be essies Saturday disco fever 

6. Ugg or Moccasins? 
I love the look of moccasins and I've always wanted a pair so probably moccasins plus most people wear uggs nowadays.

7. Fuzzy Socks or Knee High Socks?
One of my most favourite things about fall is the fact that I can wear fuzzy socks so I will definitely go for Fuzzy socks.

8. Favourite Fall accessory?
My favourite fall accessory is basicly anything cosy such as boots, scarf's, socks, hats, gloves.

9. Favourite Fall Food?
My favourite fall food has got to be any kind of warm food maybe like a Sunday dinner with all of the trimmings. 

10. Favourite Halloween movie?
My favourite Halloween movie has to be any of the harry potter films there is a list of my favourite films as another blog post if you would like to go look at it.

11. Apple Pie or Brownies?
I would definitely choose any kind of chocolate dessert as my favourite so it has to be brownies.



12. Favourite Halloween Candy?
I love any kind of candy really so any candy I receive at Halloween time I would be happy about.

13. Halloween Costume this year? 
I don't think I am going to dress up as anything for Halloween but if I was I think it would be cool to be something scary like a zombie.

14. What is your Favourite thing about Fall?
I love the fact it starts to get a lot colder and cosier and that's why its my favourite time of the year apart from christmas.


I tag all the people who read this tag to do this tag, its a fun and quick thing to do on your blog so that people get to know what you like a bit more! Thank you for reading don't forget to come back on Monday to find out what my favourite Halloween movies are! Also leave a comment with your tag if you do it!

University- Learning the ropes

Hey Guys,

I explained quite quickly on Friday that I had started university on Monday and I wanted to give not only you guys a sneak peek into what its like in your first week of university but also give myself something to look back on in the future and remember what fun I had on my first week of uni. I've decided to do a little series of posts maybe once or twice for the next few months about my life at university and also some cool and important things about uni so remember to check in on a Monday and Friday at 6 pm England time to see if there is a new post about university.

Saturday 20th September
Moving in, Meeting people and Making it feel like home

Today is the day I moved away to university and moved into halls again I started off my day by packing the car up and making sure that I have everything I need to take with me. Once I got to my halls I went to the reception where they gave me my key and card for my room and they were all very lovely. I then got all of my things from the car and took them to my room and started to unpack everything to make everything feel a little bit more like home. My uni room is pretty basic with a bed, desk, cork board, chair, shelves and an en suit so its important to make it as homely as you can. I then realised that there was no one else in the flat yet and I didn't have any kind of food to eat so had to go to asda to buy some. Once I got back one of my flat mates had moved in so I had a chat with him for a while and spent most of the day sorting out my room and getting to know the other two of my flat mates. It then got to around 9 o'clock and some people from the flat above invited us to a flat party so that was a good way to get to know some more of the people who are living around me.

Sunday 21st September
Getting to know people, Trying to cook and Buying a lamp

I've settled in now and I am starting to feel a little more comfortable with my flat mates as they are all very different but all seem very nice which is good. Today I decided to go see my sister for a few hours and do a little more shopping so that I can make my room feel more homely so I went to tesco and got myself a new lamp for my desk. Then I came back to the halls and tried to cook for the first time this year but it ended up being burnt so I just stuck with a ready meal. Later on we got invited up to the flat above again and this time tonight we decided to go out which wasn't a good idea considering I had uni at ten in the morning. But it was a very good night and i really enjoyed meeting all the new people and not getting home till 4 am.

Monday 22nd September
Starting uni, Going out and Feeling Hungover

Today I started the day off with a massive hangover I'm surprised I even managed to get up and ready in time for uni, I then met some of my friends from last year who were going to be on my course and we all walked to the uni. Its a new building this year so once we got there we were a bit confused about where to go but eventually found our way to a massive lecture theatre where we found out there were 190 people doing my course. They then gave us a talk about the next year and split us into 6 groups and thankfully I was put with my friends from my course last year. Once in our groups we were given lots of ice breaker tasks to do to get to know people which was good and that was about it for uni. Then I went back to my halls and went out again at night time.

Tuesday 23rd September
Enrolling, Peer Mentors and Feeling Sad

Today I went to uni and we had a 45 minute talk from some people who were in the year above us who are now our mentors about all the things surrounding our course and it was pretty boring as I already knew all of these things from doing the foundation course last year but I'm pretty sure that everyone else found it very useful for them. Then we had the chance to enrol into uni and we got our university card and our met card which had £20 free on it to use on anything from certain shops or the canteen. After that we got to go home and it seemed like a pretty pointless day.Once back to my halls i just felt sad and missed home a little bit so I decided that I was just too tired to go out so I stayed in.


Wednesday 24th September
Personal tutors, Freshers fair and Freshers flu

We started off our uni day again in a lecture theatre but this time for an hour and we had a talk about making a blog for university which I'm kind of looking forward to as I really do like this blog so making a university one should be fun. After that we all decided to go to the freshers fair where there were lots of freebies and societies to join and even free domino's pizza. I also discovered that I was getting freshers flu which is never fun this is the second year in a row which I have got it and so i just went back to asda to get some flu tablets and medicine to make me better. Then just got into bed and watched a load of youtube videos as i needed to catch up.

Thursday 25th September
Glass jars, Lectures and Seminars

Once again we were in a lecture theatre where this time i had a lecture for an hour and it was pretty interesting i'm not used to being in massive lecture theatres like that but it made me pretty excited about what was going to happen throughout the next year. Once we had our lecture we all split up into our little groups and had a seminar where we discussed the lecture and our general feelings of how we all felt the lecture went and for the other half of the seminar time did a fun task where we had to bring in a jar from home filled with things which represent childhood to us. I chose to put pictures of my family in it and sand to represent holidays i had with family when i was younger. Then i went out again with everyone bit i kinda wasn't feeling well or in the going out mood so i came back earlier with some other people.

Friday 26th September
Day off, Doing nothing and Free pizza

So today i woke up with the stamp from last nights club that was on my hand stamped twice on my face... guess i slept on my hand then, finally have a day off of uni thank god i am so happy about it, this week has been such a long week i feel i needed a good day or so to sort my room out, do some blog stuff and have a good sleep in. So i haven't really done much today i went to see my sister for a bit and then went shopping again for some food and things to make my room feel more like home.


I know this post probably isn't the most interesting thing in the world but i wanted to share my week with everyone on the internet and keep it for myself as a memory. Don't forget to come back on Wednesday for a sneak peak into what is going to be happening with my blog for the next month or so. I promise you it will be exciting.

My Week Away -Days 3, 4 & 5

 Hey Guys! 

This blog is a follow on from yesterday's blog showing you what I did on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of last week. I hope that yesterday's was interesting, I didn't want to make it too long so it wasn't too boring! 

Sunday 13th April 

On Sunday I went on a boat ride in Wroxham along the broads, it was a very beautiful trip with lots of beautiful houses and scenery to look at. This wasn't just any ordinary boat trip I got to drive the boat and go where I wanted on the river as we rented out a boat to drive, I was on the boat for about two hours but I wished we had paid for longer. It was a shame that I could only go up to 5 miles per hour and that's classed as speeding! This was one of my favourite parts of the trip as I got to do something I'd never done before... 

                               

             

                  

Monday 14th April 

On Monday I had a bit more of a relaxed day as I was still tired from the journey to caister on sea! So I went bowling in the morning and played two games, it was a good laugh and I won one of the games by one point and that's good for me I usually all lose all of the games. Later on in the day I went for a really yummy meal where I had a beef burger and chips. 

 

                               

Tuesday 15th April 

On Tuesday I went to the beach for the day in Great Yarmouth it was a very sunny beautiful day and very relaxing. I also got an amazing ice cream from a stand on the promenade and it had one scoop of kinder bueno ice cream and the other was cookie dough! It was so yummy and just what I needed on a warm day :) I also went to the arcades where I won lots of little things which I would never have got if I saw it in a shop, but had to have them from the two pence machine! 

                               

I hope you are enjoying my blogs feel free to give me tips :) 

Thanks for reading my blog :) 

Lucy xoxo
