Summer Holidays

Hey guys! I know I haven't been posting as often as usual, so I'm sorry about that! Also I am going on holiday for 10 days so I probably won't be able to post. So have a great summer holidays and tell me what you're doing and where you're going as I'd love to know and get ideas of other things to do.

Cute accessories for Summer

I know, so many posts about Summer, but I just wanna be happy and in the Summer mood :)

I think little hair bows are essential, and the vintage ones are especially cute! Different patterns of them complete and pull together an outfit, and makes your hair look fantastic and your hair will be out of your face so it's not so hot.

Feathery or dangly earrings look so nice because certain ones can match an outfit and make it look so cute! The looseness of them gives a relaxed mood, and very flowy.

Bracelets! Little bracelets just add something to the outfit and are very cheap to get too.


Sorry this isn't specific or have lots of information like my other posts, but just a little thing that popped into mind.

Quick tips to keep cool

To keep cool in summer:
1) If you are taking water, fill a quarter the bottle you're using with water. Lay it on its side in the freezer and wait for it to turn into ice. When you fill it with water, you will have cold water on the go without having a big chunk of ice!

2) Don't wear loads of clothing. I'm not saying to go out and wear the tiniest skirt or shorts so it shows your bum and knickers but don't wear tights unless you have a good reason to. Wear cute crop, cami or vest tops because they are little, light and barely any tan line!

3) Maybe get one of the little electric fans to keep you cool, or a handmade one. They are little and simple but very effective.

4) Keep hydrated! I know sweating isn't the most pleasant thing and it's sticky and horrible but it keeps you slightly cooler( and it's better than having a massive headache from dehydration ).

5) Have deodorant or body spray at all times. As well as making you smell nice, it tends to cool you down.

There are some 'quick' tips that will help you. :) thanks for reading

Strawberry Born Lippy - review

This stuff is absolutely fab! I guarantee you'll love it. The smell is so lovely, which is great because as soon as you open it the gorgeous smell is the first thing you notice. When you put it on your lips it is smooth and gives you lovely hydrated lips. It doesn't have a horrible taste and is another great buy from body shop and was once again in the sale..... for £2! Get it or regret it.

My top 10 apps and games

In no particular order.....

1) Snapchat- I love it, funny faces to cheer you up and an easy way to speak.

2) Facebook - Just to browse on your phone what's going on and put on pictures straight from your phone.

3) Instagram- Great to share pictures and look at others .

4) Subway Surfers- It's slightly addictive despite the simple game... difficult to put down.

5) Twitter- Stalk your fave celebrities mobile! Tweet your feelings and message people.

6) App of the day- It's a great little app because everyday it gets an app which you would usually have to pay for and you can get it for free for one day only.

7) Blogger- It's great because you can use it for your blog, which I'm doing right now, and keep updated.

8) Keek- Amazing for little videos you want people to see, be as silly as you like.

9) Angry Birds- Everyone loves angry birds , it's addictive to play though.

10) Fruit ninja- Slices our your anger in my opinion......

Thanks for reading guys, ALL of these apps and games are for the low low price of FREE! Get them now :)

Summer must haves!

Hey, sorry but there will be no pictures again because I only have time for a quick post today, but I'll do a little list....

1) Crop tops- Aztec, plain, floral or absolutely anything because they are all gorgeous!

2) Topshop shorts: There are the two kinds which are -the shorter ones which are cute and personally look better on holiday but they need to fit properly or else your bum will pop out of them( I've seen this and it's a vulgar sight); and there are the ones which have no buttons and are quite high waisted but they are stunning and I personally think anybody can pull them off!

3) Midi dresses- I adore them! I have a few which I wear all the time, most of the patterns can suit anybody, and it is great that so many people wear them.

4) Light/ bright clothes and shoes- Brighten up summer with light coloured clothing so you fit in with the mood and stay cool, because lighter clothes reflect the heat.

5) Frilly Socks- If you aren't wearing sandals or flip flops and you're wearing converse, Nike blazers etc then frilly socks are the way to go! They are adorable in any outfit.

6) Sunglasses - Get some friends or family to pick out some sunglasses with you because these can be difficult to get some that suit you but if you find the right pair then you'll look so cool!

Thanks for reading, sorry for the lack of pictures lately guys. Follow my instagrams- @emilygreen_22 and @love_teenage_life thanks guys. Have a nice summer and look great! :)

Top 5 summer shops

These are my top 5 summer shops for clothes. These aren't in order because I love them all but they are all great to get your summery clothes.

1) New look- You've gotta love new look. It has such beautiful clothes and has a huge range. The great thing also is that it has the generation 915 part which has similar clothes but even cheaper. There are always plain stuff, but new look keeps up with trends

2) Forever 21- At forever 21 there is an even bigger selection to choose from. You have all sorts to pick from, with all the different styles. You've got hipster, plain, trendy, scene, girly..... so many! The clothes are so bright and bring a great mood to outfits.

3) Topshop- Topshop is amazing! As well as keeping up with the trends it definitely creates trends! There are so many unique clothes at topshop and they are all lovely. I love the outfits you come up with using topshop clothes. People stand out with these clothes and although slightly more expensive, I think it is a good investment because the quality is the best and everyone loves a bit of topshop.

4) River Island- Their clothes are also great! The shorts are great here and they also have a childrens section which I think is great if you are a smaller teenager because you can get the same clothes for up to half the price... bargain.

5) Primark- Yes, primark. I don't care what people say, Primark is great for getting some little clothes. There are little cami tops and shorts and things for everybody there, and it's sooo cheap! Everybody loves a bargain every once in a while. You can't say you haven't got something from Primark, surely? I love it for its cheap little essentials.

So there we have it. It was a longer post than anticipated but I hope you enjoyed it :*

Motorola RAZR i - review

I wanted to so a review on my phone because I don't think many people have got or have heard of this phone.

So the Motorola RAZR i is an android  touchscreen smartphone. I personally have it on the EE network, which I find has really quick internet connection and signal in lots of places.

What I love about the phone is that it is practically all uses via the touchscreen and the screen is really big too. There is plenty of space to play games and to see clearly if you take a picture or browse the internet.

There is a camera at the back which is 8MP and really good quality , but there is also a camera at the front being 0.3MP which is not great, but is useful if you need a quick mirror to see what you look like.

Being the clumsy person I am, I have dropped my phone LOADS of times, but surprisingly unlike my other phones the screen has never cracked.

The only negative about my phone is that if you have lots of apps running at the same time, it can make the whole phone slow down which is really annoying, but this only happens occasionally.

I would highly recommend this phone so take a look at it! My tariff is only £21.50 a month with unlimited texts, 200 minutes and 500mb of internet. ( sorry for the massive post, hope you read to the end!) :)

Passion Fruit Body Butter - Review

So a few days ago I got the 'Passion Fruit Body Butter ' from the Body Shop because it was on sale for £5 instead of £13 and I couldn't be happier about buying it!

Despite only having this a few days, I have been using it a lot because of going out in the hot weather and wanting to smell nice.

The great thing about it is that it stays on all day for me, with the smell staying fresh and strong throughout the day. It hydrates dry skin too! To me it's faultless and it's great being on sale too, so get one.... or lots because it is definitely worth it, trust me! I wouldn't even mind paying £13 for it but £5 is an absolute bargain.

But don't fret if Passion Fruit isn't your kind of smell because ALL of the body butters are on sale for £5. There's Blueberry, Raspberry, Mango and so many more glorious fragrances to choose from. I say get as many as you can while they are still on sale because it's the best buy I've had for beauty products in a while now.

Pre- makeup skin care routine

Hey everybody, I am so sorry I haven't posted in a while I have had lots of revision for French...

Anyway, I thought I would post my skin care routine before I put on my make-up, and I have been doing this for a few weeks and I can already see a difference, which I am so pleased about! I find the products really work for my type of skin - combination as it's dry and oily, so what I use is perfect for my skin.

Step 1:

Wash your face with the Clean&Clear Blackhead clearing Daily Scrub. It costs about £3.50 and is oil free and I personally saw blackheads going in 5 days! Rinse your face with warm water, then exfoliate your face before getting your face clean with cold water to close the pores. Pat face dry with a towel.

Step 2:

Apply Clean&Clear deep cleansing lotion , which costs about £3.00. Get some cotton wool to apply it to your face ( avoiding the eye area). This is great for sensitive skin and fights against spots.

Step 3:
Once your face has dried after putting the lotion on, put on the Freederm. I have prescribed Freederm for my skin, so for me it's free otherwise it is about £9.00 but is worth it! Apply thin layers on your face where your acne is or usually is.

Step 4:
Once the Freederm has dried, apply Clean&Clear Dual action moisturiser to leave your skin smooth but still fighting spots and preventing oily skin.

In a few weeks your skin should be clearing up. I strongly recommend these products if you have my type of acne prone combination skin. Tell me how it goes! :)

2013 summer holiday suggestions.

So this year I think Turkey is the best place to go on holiday during the summer holidays. This is because there are so many places to go there and there will be lots of vacancies with late booking available. It is cheap and cheerful! And the less you or your family spend on the holiday- the more money for clothes and shopping for summer! It's a win-win situation really.

Turkey also has 'fake' brands over there. They make their own 'Jack Wills', 'Hollister','Vans', 'Converse' and more! The quality can be quite good and they are so cheap, and nobody but you will know they're fake...great!

It is hot there too..very hot actually , so make sure you take plenty of sun cream to protect you, but you can get a lovely tan for a great summer look.

Check out some places in Turkey. It's a good place. :)

Stay positive! Love yourself and be happy.

Hi everybody. So I am making this post because lately on Facebook, Twitter and life in general I hear so many people upset with little things about them and putting themselves down. I know that everybody does it ( including me) but seeing other people picking out bad things makes me a bit upset. I think people need to stay focused on the positive things about themselves and others because I know there is beauty and good things in everybody.

Although it is sometimes not easy to do, keep telling yourself the good things about you and never think of the negatives. It's especially difficult when you compare yourself to others - they could be nicer, prettier, more popular or just have something you might want. But you will always have something unique about yourself and be able to say "I love myself because..... I have a nice figure"( for example). There will be plenty of good things about YOU so don't think about anybody else and don't hold back, tell yourself what makes you special.

Even if you don't like things about yourself, it might be hard to understand , but you need to learn to be happy and love yourself. I can't say I love myself yet, but I'm trying to. I'm sure everybody has lovely things to compliment you with, which always cheers anybody up. Don't try to change yourself either, somebody out there loves or will love you for who you are and wouldn't want any different.

Try to smile through everything . Just smile , smile, smile! Also, don't care or listen to what anybody thinks about you if it's mean or negative because odds are they are jealous and have nothing better to do, so just remember that!

I'm sorry this was very wordy and full of content, but it's just something I thought I needed to share because it was on my mind. Hope you enjoyed this , and please take my advice if you agree. Remember - think positive, love yourself and be happy! :)
