DIY Memory Pebble Pot

Hello everyone,

Long time, no speak. I hope you're all doing well and having a fabulous June so far! I thought I'd come back and share with you this little DIY of mine that I've been using for when I go on holiday and want to keep some memories. It's great for this time of year now to make this as I'm sure many of you are planning on travelling soon and working on your tans if not already been on holiday. 

Let's jump into it...

As you can see this is a very simple idea but looks good and is great for recalling where you've travelled and to get nostalgic re-reading them.

Above is all you need;

- Sharpie/s (Colours of your choice)
- Stones/Pebbles/Shells (from location travelled)
- Glass jar/dish/bowl 

So you just need a pen/marker that can write on the pebbles or shells and a dish to keep them in, very simple. You then write on the Location and Date of travel and place them in your dish.

Below you can see closer up some of the things written onto the stones, with some of the location names shortened so they fit on.

To take this further you could even add in battery powered lights like these below, which will make the dish look very fancy (and like it took you longer than 5 minutes 😄)

Or you could even make individual dishes for separate trips...e.g. make a sandy shell one themed from the Bahamas? 

I hope you enjoyed this little idea, comment below or tweet me @teacupsnmakeup and tell me if you created it yourself! Thank you for reading <3 and I'll speak to you in the next post xx

10 Things To Do When You're Bored in The Summer

Hey everyone,

Today I thought I'd do a bit of a chatty/lifestyle blog post as I feel like writing as I haven't been on my blog for so long! So I know that summer holidays are coming up soon, so I thought i'd put this blog post together to share some ideas of what you can do when you're bored :D

Hope you enjoy :)

1. Start a project on your blog. If you haven't already....create a blog and start sharing what you do each day and enjoy interacting with others. Or..if you already have a blog, start a new series or project on it and set yourself the challenge of writing about something each day. It could be anything from what you eat to what makeup you wore...have fun with it :D

2. Practice your nail art. Why not get your nail polishes out and get creative! Look up inspiration and start coming up with new ideas on your nails, play around with colours you wouldn't use before and even look up and treat yourself to some new nail tools.

3. Decorate your room/reorganise it. Occupy yourself by changing up the layout of your bedroom or any room for that matter or even redecorate it. You could go and paint your room a different colour, swap out your bedding and cushions or just DIY some new things for your room. Look online for inspiration and pop into you local charity shops...imagine how to use objects for different reasons..e.g. use a cake stand for a jewellery holder :)

4. Experiment with photography. Why not use your camera or your camera on your phone to take pictures. Have fun with taking pictures of objects around your house or town and maybe even edit them? Even print them off and add them to an album or share online..on your blog.

5. Set yourself a challenge with only £10. Give yourself a budget of £10 and try and buy all the things for one project...could be ingredients for a cake...or paint for decorating or ornaments to decorate a section of your room.

6. Start organising with a planner. Introduce yourself to the world of decorating planners and buy your own. Collect and make your own washi tape, post-it notes and bookmarks to plan your life and make your usual planner look cute and personalised to your own style. 

Follow Georgia F's board Planners ♥ on Pinterest.  

7. Look for some ideas on Pinterest. I love to use Pinterest when i'm bored to search for new ideas and inspiration for any type of project. It could be anything from making a card to building a shed in your garden!

8. Try to create art. I personally love to paint, draw and sketch when i'm bored...so why not try it out, you don't have to be good at it, enjoy the process and even get your friends around to have a laugh and look at what each other have created!

9. Bake and decorate a cake. Use ingredients around your home and look up some recipes to bake a cake...then decorate it :) Take your time with it or have your friends and family time you to create a chosen design.

10. Get a new look. Change up the way you look...get a new haircut, try out a new makeup look and even try and buy a different style of clothes. Surprise your friends and family with your new look :D

Hope you enjoyed this post :) Let me know if you liked this style of blog post?

Mini Home Decor Haul

Hey everyone,

So this post is kind of going to be related to beauty in a way but its more home decor/lifestyle. So I've been getting some new bits in my room recently because I'm redecorating and I thought I'd share with you this inexpensive way to store your makeup palettes and where I got mine from.

So I went out shopping the other day and I noticed this: 

I know you've probably seen many people come up with this idea of storing makeup palettes before but I thought I'd show you my letter holder I now use...I'd seen it online before but I didn't order it because I wanted to take a look in the shops to see if there was any better ones and to see how big it is and if it will be big enough to hold my palettes. There were a few other letter holders in the shops but I liked this one because it was the right size for my makeup palettes and matches my colour scheme of my room and matches the furniture. 

So my letter holder was £3.99 from Dunelm Mill, which is very cheap but it's very pretty and it's strong, sturdy and it comes with little felt feet on the bottom so it doesn't scratch the surface. 

I definitely recommend you get one. Heres the link if you want to take a look online:
