It's Halloween!

Recently, I took a trip to ASDA to get a pumpkin for the usual festivities that happen around this time of year. As soon as I walked through the door, I realised that I would most definitely be getting more than a pumpkin. Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year, mainly because it's a sign that winter and Christmas is on it's way and when I saw the masses of decorations, I got a little too excited. Here are some things I brought and how I decided to arrange them in my house..


Using a light-up pumpkin, I decided to place it on my windowsill and surround it with plastic insects and cobwebs. Then I added some fairy lights and it looks super effective! Very spooky.


I decided to place some pumpkins next to my fire place to give a real autumn-y feeling. The colours and soft candle glow give off a really cosy atmosphere.


Arranging the pumpkins I carved with my family, I added a light-up pumpkin and a 'BOO' sign. This makes the front of the house look welcoming to the little trick-or-treaters.


Lastly, I saw a cute cupcake kit and decided to bake some cupcakes for a few friends that were coming over. They look so cute and taste amazing!
Below are some photos of my 'outfit'. The contacts are my favourite part!




Happy Halloween!!

About me


Hey!

My name is Beth, I'm 20 years old and from the beautiful Cornwall in England. I am currently working within administration but in the future would love to work in the beauty industry. I have an identical twin sister who is my rock in life. Aside from beauty and fashion, music is a huge passion of mine and I love travelling the country to see my favourite artists. I actually 'suffer' from a genetic disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy which is a progressive muscle wasting illness, meaning I'm permanently in an electric wheelchair. This doesn't make me any different. My friends and family are my everything and I'd be lost without them!

I started this blog, mainly to keep me occupied during my spare time. After reading blogs for many years and wanting to make my own, I finally did it. I love writing about beauty and fashion so this hobby is ideal for me! This blog will be filled with make-up reviews, tutorials, hauls and lookbooks, as well as rambles and rants about various things. It's aimed to be a place for me to come to and write whatever I feel like. It won't fit into a certain category but who's blog does?

I hope I can entertain you, for even a short period of time, with my posts and I hope you come back to catch up!
