Quick Update ~ See You Soon ||♥..

Heyy Guys! Today's post will be really short and quick but I just want to let you guys know that I'll be having a little break from blogging for the next 2months or so. Reason is, next week (starting from, the 1st of June), I'm starting my end of year exams and I'm not gonna have the chance to be blogging since I'll be too busy revising! That's also why I haven't been as consistent as usual this past month and towards the end of April. I'm so sorry about this and I really wish it wasn't so but it is what it is and I have no control over it! Another reason is that I'm going on holiday soon so I'll be preparing for that and when I'm off, I wont get the chance to write any blog posts.

Also, just to quickly let you guys know, (although once I'm back to blogging, I'll write up a whole post which is more detailed on it) but I'm going to be starting a Youtube channel!! I'm soo exited about it but don't worry, I'll still be blogging! I've already made the channel but haven't posted any videos yet. I would love for you guys to please subscribe to it to give me a good kick start and boost for when I start uploading videos! It's called StyleMeUnique.. and this is the link to it StyleMeUnique..
I'll definitely subscribe back to everyone. Also, let me know if you have a channel aswell so I can subscribe!

Wish me good luck with my exams and I will see you guys soon in my next post! Make sure to carry on with all of the love and support you guys have been giving me, I really appreciate it and love you guys loads!
In the mean time, go ahead and check out my previous post! I will be replying to all comments etc. What's In My DIY Emergency Kit Bag??

What's In My DIY Emergency Kit Bag?? ♡

Hii Everyone! So I've finally got around to this post after like 3months that I've wanted to do it! Today I'll be hopefully helping you girls out (this post is mainly targeted at girls but guys can read it too!) by sharing with you something which I find very helpful and that comes in really handy which are DIY Emergency Kit Bags! You may or may have not heard of these before but in this post I'll be explaining what they are; why I like them and what I've put in mine to give you an idea of what you could put in yours (that's if you're interested in making one after reading this post)!>>


So first of all, DIY Emergency Kit Bags are basically mini bags that you can carry all of your toiletries and the essential items you need with you were ever you go. You can fit them in your school bag or the hand bag you are taking out with you. These kit bags come in so handy as it saves you from the frustration of having to look round for things in big bags since they are all in the same place; forgetting to take something important along when switching bags; and simply being prepared for any disasters or emergency that may come your way! So anyways, let's just get right into it!


First of all, you'll need a small-medium toiletries bag or travel sized pouch (big enough to fit everything you may wanna put in, but small enough to fit it your bag and not take up all the space)! These can cost anywhere from £1-£5. (A picture of my one is at the top of this post).


Things to put in ~

1. Hand & Body Moisturizers: Mini hand and body moisturizers can be life savers when your in a sticky situation. Having white patchy flakes between your fingers and on your legs or arms are not a good look atall! Especially in the summer time when you're most likely not covering up as much with tights, gloves and jumpers, it's always smart to keep some cream with you!
2. Pads/Tampons: You should never go out without any pads or tampons at hand because you never no when the time of the month could hit you so it's always best to be safe! Even if you haven't started your period yet, you should still carry some with you incase, because that day could be your day and you don't want to suffer an embarrassing moment during an emergency. I always like to keep 2/3 in my kit bag to be safe. Also incase you need to help a friend out!
3. Lip Balm: This is also an essential item that to keep in your kit bag so that you can touch up during the day when your lips need moisturizing rather than constantly licking your lips and making them worse.
4. Pocket Sized Tissues: These are very useful for when ever you need to just clean up quickly, especially if no one around has any. You can actually get like 10 of these in a pack for about £1.50 at Boots, Superdrug and most chemists.
5. Wet Wipes/ Makeup Remover Wipes: Whenever you need to fresh up or wipe of any smudged makeup like eyeliner or mascara, these are great to have around!
6. Hand Sanitizers: If you've just got your hands dirty or you're about to eat, use hand sanitizers to kill off all the bacteria and remove and clean your hands. Also, I've found that squeezing a bit of this under your nails really cleans all the dirt out and make you nails look fresh and healthy!
7. Body Spray/Perfume: It's really important for us ladies especially to make sure we are smelling fresh and sweet! I don't know if you can relate but people with really bad B.O is a huge turn off and making sure you smell decent is simply basic hygiene! Also, if you go to school or the gym, it's important to touch up with a quick spray after P.E or gym class.
8. Mini Mirror: I actually find having a mirror with me quite handy. If you just need to check something on your face, in your eye, up your nose (lol) or wherever, a mirror is just a few seconds away!
9. Hair Bands/Clips/Bobby Pins: Incase you snap a hairband by accident, loose a booby pin or feel like changing up your hairstyle, you'll have the items you need with you!
10. Gum/Mints: I cannot stress enough how important a fresh, clean breath is so you must, must make sure you keep some kind of breath/mouth freshener with you! They are also really useful just after lunch and pretty much during the day.
11. Cotton Buds/Toothpicks: I would say that these are not as important as some of the others but are just little things you might just wanna put in incase.
12. Spare Earrings/ Studs: You never know, you might lose your earrings or the stud or even forget to wear one so a spare is always good to have.
13. Spare Change: You might have left your money at home or you really need some extra quick cash so having no more than £5 in your emergency kit bag could be helpful.

So that's all the things that I keep in my DIY Emergency Kit Bag along with some other things you may want to add it! If you want to make this yourself, you can definitely add in other things or remove some things to your preference but this is just a brief list of ideas. You can also put like a few makeup items in there or have that in a separate bag. Other items are mini hairbrushes, medicine, pantyliners etc.


Quick Tips ~

• Only put stuff you need to find quickly, or almost can't live without so it's not too heavy.
• Find little containers for things like the pads/tampons, earrings, hairbands etc, so it's quicker to get to.
• Buy items that are mini or travel sized so you can save space and add more things inside.

And that's all for today! I really enjoyed writing this post and I hope you guys enjoyed reading it! Be sure to comment down below to let me know what you think (I love talking to you guys!) and let me know if you might be interested in making your own Emergency Kit Bag. If you guys wanna know what brands or names of items that I use (for example perfume, lip balms or hand creams) simply ask me in the comments down below!

The Versatile Blogger Award #2 & The Infinity Dreams Award

• I love food! Lol I know that's so basic but it's really true! Like I can eat loads and loads of junk food and never get bored or fat! At school, I actually wrote a speech about how I love food and how the school dinners don't fill you up..


• I don't really have a favourite colour. I mean, I've always loved the colour purple but I wouldn't really call it my favourite colour. I kind of have phases so one minute I'll really be into tiffany blue, then the next minute burgundy and then gold or whatever.


• I love the summer time! Summer is so beautiful and everything looks so pretty especially the flowers and trees and all things nature! The weather is also the best thing ever like seeing as living in London means cold, rain and crappy weather most of the time, the experience of sun, breeze and bright days is awesome!


• I do Business Studies at school as one of my GCSE options and it's such an interesting subject! Although it sounds all boring and mathsy, it's actually got a lot more to it and can be really fun!


• One of the things I really enjoy is dancing! I love to do it in my spare time, and just whenever I hear music on. I find it so enjoyable and I even make up my own dances with friends and stuff.


• I can be very loud and hyper. Seriously, when I'm with the right people things can get really crazy ahahaa. Also most of my friends and the people I hang out with are pretty much the same so it's just perfect really. I find that there's no need to waste time and be all sad and stuff because you'll never get that wasted time back again!


• I really like watching Youtube videos! I spend so much time watching people's videos and like it's just so entertaining! My favourite Youtubers are JadahDoll, KSI, ComedyShortsGamer, BeautyCrush, Zoella and loads more which I can't remember!


• I don't really read much! I honestly need to get out of this habit because reading can be so fun and is actually very important so I'm going to try and incorporate more reading into my lifestyle.


• One of my favourite fruits is Mango. Well I think it's a fruit, but whatever it is I love it! It's so juicy and sweet and it's quite good for you so yeah!


• Finally, I love blogging! I know it's really contradictive because I haven't blogged in ages but I really do love to write blog posts, interact with you guys, reply to comments, read other blogs and just all the different aspects of blogging! 

April Favourites ♡

Hello Everyone! Since it's coming up towards the end of April, I decided to do a post on all of my favourite products that I've been loving this month. I've never actually done a post like this before but I always read other blog posts and youtube videos of monthly faves so I thought it would be really fun to do! If you guys like it, be sure to let me know and I might start doing them every month. So anyways, let's get started!!



Rimmel London Lasting Finish 100 Kisses Lip Liner
Omg, I've absolutely been loving up this lip liner over the past few weeks! It is in the colour 063 Black Tulip which is more like a nude and I only use a little bit of it so it's perfect for school. Another thing I really like about this lip liner is that it is soo long lasting! It also has a creamy texture so it perfectly glides on your lips leaving a beautiful line that you can blend/smudge (which I like to do) or just leave as it is! Finally, it's only £2.99 which is an awesome price for such a great product!

Rimmel London Kate Moss Matte Lipstick
So you guys probably know that I'm not really an all out makeup kinda girl but I found this gorgeous matte lipstick from the Kate Moss collection in the colour 08. I mainly like it because it has a beautiful natural lip colour that can be used for everyday, anyday wear! This lipstick also has a lovely finish which isn't quite matte but isn't super shiny and glossy either (I like to use it along with the Rimmel London Lip liner). I also loveee the amazing smell of it and the average price for it is around £5.50!

Minnie Mouse Body Butter
Since the weather here in London has slowly began to get warmer, I have been wearing my socks rolled down to take in and enjoy some of that heat! Obviously, if I decide to do this, I need to have some cream with me to combat any emergency dryness and avoid the embarrassment of walking around with dry patches on your legs! This is why the Minnie Mouse Body Butter came in really handy for me these past couple of weeks and I really like it. It is so thick and creamy and does a great job at properly moisturizing your body. I actually got this body butter along with a set of other cute Minnie Mouse toiletries including mini bubble bath, mini shower gel and the body butter. It comes in a Minnie Mouse toiletries bag and my friend actually got it for me last Christmas. Overall I really like it and since it's mini, I can carry it around wherever I like!

Avon Bali Bliss Shimmering Body Mist
Well there is not much that I can say about this body mist but I overall love the smell of it. It smells really sweet and I always carry it around in my bag for whenever I need to re-spray at school or wherever I go. The only thing about it is that it doesn't last as long as I would want it to but I can't really give how many hours roughly since you can't usually tell when it wears out. Finally, it's from Avon but I don't remember how much it was.

Johnson's Baby Shower Gel Pineapple & Lily aroma
About 3weeks ago, I started using this new shower gel and it is amazing!! The main thing I love about it is the smell, oh my goodness! It smells gorgeous. I usually use bar soaps but I just thought to try this shower gel out and I am very pleased with it. It is in the scent Pineapple & Lily and that's what it literally smells like. It also leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean but soft and smooth at the same time which is perfect! You can pretty much get this anywhere and it's usually like £1-£2. It overall does what it's meant to do and it's what I've been using over the course of this month!

And that's all for today! Please bare with me if it's not as good or quite like a monthly favourite post but I am only just starting out and will gradually get better at them! I hope you liked this post and be sure to leave me a comment below letting me know what you think or if you have any questions about any of these products. Also any advice and tips are welcome!

5 Daily Life Hacks To Prevent Breakouts

Acid Washed Jeans // High Waisted & Ripped

Hiyaa! So today I am back after a while with a fashion post for you guys on the high street style acid washed jeans. I actually featured them on my last OOTD fashion post which you can check out right here . Honestly, everywhere you've looked in this past winter/spring, you'll have seen someone in a good pair of these acid washed jeans. I think they are really cute and you have a wide range of choice where you can either dress them up or down.

These 'jeans' actually come more like jegins most of the time and they have that tight and stretchy feel to them. As you can see in the above picture, they have them in a range of colours. They can also come with rips so they are great if you want to go basic and rock them with a pair of trainers like converse or go dressy and rock them with chelsea type boots. You can also get them high waisted which can give a more formal or fancy approach. Here are a few ideas: 
Since these jeans have been rapidly growing in the fashion world, you can easily find them in a number of clothing shops such as New Look, Topshop, River Island, H&M, Forever 21 and many more. On average they are about £20 which I think is a reasonable price for these highly fashionable jeans but it can vary depending on the shop, quality and design.

So that is all from me today. I really love the style of these jeans and I'm so glad that they are trending right now. Be sure to leave a comment down below for me on your opinion on these jeans, if you own a pair and how you like to dress them!
Thank you so much for reading guys,

Until Next Time,
