Hello everyone, so recently I went shopping with a friend and although I only brought two things I thought I would talk about them as I think there my new favourite things.
Maybelline Lash Sensational:
So I brought this mascara accidently in water proof but I'm so glad I did. My old mascara would always leave a dark smudge under my eyes by the end of the day and I would'nt even rub my eyes, but this mascara does not budge. To put it to the test I even splashed my face with water and It literally doesn't move. Also it comes off relatively easy at the end of the day with micellar water and a cleansing balm.
The Cutest Thing Ever:
I brought this in a craft shop and everything in there was handmade. I had to buy this because it's so adorable and I've never seen anything like it. They had so many different colours and it was just very cute.
Thank you all for reading and I'll see you next sunday for another blog.

Hello everyone, over the bank holiday weekend I have been upcycling a few bits and bob as I am making a cute wall display above my desk.
Clip Board:
I've seen quite a few of this floating around the interent as people are using them on the wall and clippping lots of cute quotes and pictures on them. perosnally I think this lots so cute and can really be personalised. Alothough these can be quite espensive and diy-ing them is so much cheaper and can be exactly what you like.
what I used:
- A MDF piece of wall art ( I had 2 so changed up one of them ) - 50p
- small tester pot of cream paint - roughly £2
- small pot of blue nail polish - £1.50
- Some tape
- Spounge or paint brushes
- hot glue gun or strong glue
luckily I already had all of these items so it cost me virtually nothing. Also keep in mind that this method is for the piece MDF I brought and will be different for you guys.
What I did:
- Firstly I peeled off the sticker on the front so that I was left with a white base.
- Then I painted the whole thing cream and let that completely dried and then painted a second coat.
- Once that was dry I picked a nail polish that was quite watery and poured some of that in a little at a time until I got this blue shade that I really like.
- Next I used some tape on the cream layer in a random arrangement to make this pattern, make sure you test a tiny bit of the tape on the paint first to make sure it isn't going to take it off.
- Once all the tape is on in an arrangement you like paint over the whole thing in the second colour you made.
- If you don't need a second coat like myself wait until the paint is half dry and peel off the tape carefully.
- once it is completely dry I used a thin layer of hair spray to set it all.
- hot glue a large bulldog clip to the top centre and add what ever art or quotes or picture you would like.
- hang it on the wall and admire your hard work.
Hope you enjoyed this job I'm so tempted to make so many more of these.

Over the last couple of months I've been writing all my recipes into this book. I think something like this is perfect if you like to make up and test out your own recipes. This specific one is from paperchase and cost me £10 which I think is a suitable price all things considered, I'll try and find a link if you want to buy it but I did get it a few months back so I'm not sure if they'll still sell it.
In the front page there is useful cooking information such as temperatures and conversion of measurements. This can be so useful especially if you want to know how much cake batter you'll need to go in the specific cake pan or anything else.
Then you can write your recipes. I honestly think this is the cutest thing; It's laid out so neatly and has a little pocket at the front of each section for pictures or printed recipes. The subsections are: bakes, bread, biscuits, desert, useful stuff and notes. I love the way it can be customised to suit all your tastes. In the "useful stuff" section there are things such as: favourite bakes, useful websites and obviously I had to get the self promo in there.
It's very difficult to put into words the cuteness of this so here are some pictures:

Thank you for reading I'm so happy to be back blogging and hope to see you all soon, also remember to follow me on instagram, @bundle.of.chatter.

Hello everyone, it's been along time since my last post and to be totally honest I completely lacked the motive to blog, I still love blogging but the action of sitting down at a computer and spending about an hour typing for anyone to read just seemed in my mind a bit over whelming. I'm not doing to promise upload days the truth is I'm going to post when I want to and I feel this will make it seem a little less over whelming. I hope you've all had a lovely couple of months, make sure to get enough sleep and drink plenty of water. Hope to write to all of you soon,
Lyeira
