Happy Halloween! | Last Minute Manicure!

Happy Halloween everyone! It's finally here! This is our last minute Halloween themed manicure. If you've been reading our blog you'll know that we recently discovered nail art. We've both been obsessed with creating different looks as it's so fun and easy to do! If you want more inspiration for Halloween themed nails you can check out our Zombie nails here.

It's been so fun posting a series of Halloween posts and I'm so sad it's all over. I can't wait for the Christmas posts to start now! We hope you all have a great Halloween! 

Love Rachel and Leah. x

Halloween | Carving the Pumpkins

It's nearly Halloween so Me and Leah finally decided to carve our pumpkins! I always have good memories of carving out the pumpkin and this was no different. I love the whole process. There are so many ideas on Google to choose from! I'd really love to attempt one of the really artisit ones like the witches and other different ideas. However, this year we stuck to a traditional spooky face but I think they look quite cute!

Who knew carving pumpkins was so exhausting though? At least at the end of it we have a cute little pumpkins lighting up the whole room.

Do you carve a pumpkin at Halloween?

Reasons Why October Has Been Our Favourite Month.

Seeing pumpkins in the shops, Halloween costumes, and us putting makeup all over our faces in the spirit of Halloween. It must be October! We love October and if you've been reading our blog recently, you'll already know how much we love Autumn! October is always a different month with the excitement of Halloween - we love it, the darker night and colder days and the mark of the end the year. I'd go as far as to say that October has been our favourite month of the year so far! Here are some of our reasons why... I'm sad this month is coming to an end!

1. Look what our Dad got us from Sayers on Saturday. How cute is this little Halloween inspired cupcake? I really loved it too. Thanks Dad! It's not every day you see a spider cupcake, is it?

2. We've also really enjoyed going on walks with our little doggy, Heidi. Needless to say, she's really enjoyed her Autumn walks too! and your never too old to love stepping on those crunchy red and orange leaves!

3. The fashion in the shops in the best it's been all year. That in itself has made this my favourite month! I love getting new clothes, I have a slight problem! But it's hard to resist getting new cosy jumpers and the latest A/W fashion trends. H&M is currently our favourite shop.

4. Okay, not everyone will get excited about this but Slipknot's new album came out last week and we are MASSIVE fans. Let's not get into that shall we because I'll start fangirling :)

5. We're seeing Slipknot in January! We ordered our tickets two weeks ago and now Christmas has taken a back seat. We're more excited for January now!

6. We've been loving the colder nights too. It makes 'pamper' night even better.

7. This month we both started drawing and getting back into art again. I'm not sure why we stopped but we are both really enjoying it again!

8. I'm really going to miss posting all out lastest Halloween looks on the blog! I've really loved doing them. The nail art is so cute but I also loved experimenting with different Halloween makeup looks.

I hope everyone has a great Halloween!

Reasons Why I'm Looking Forward to Autumn!

For those of you who don't know, it offically turned the season of Autumn sometime during this week and from the photographs above you can already see the leaves falling, turning different colours and the weather is certainly changing down here in Liverpool! I actually can't wait for the colder weather and for Autumn to come. I love absolutely about it  and I think it's because I've never been a person that loves the Summer. Here are my top reasons why I love Autumn:

• The changing colours. I love the reds, oranges and browns of the leaves. It makes everwhere look so much more beautiful and makes my walks in the park even more enjoyable!
• The colder weather. Some people might think I'm crazy for thinking this! You'll see in my next reason why I love the colder weather!
• The FASHION! See, I told you there was a good reason why I liked the colder weather! Fur coats, hats and gloves are my favourite things to wear. I think I have a slight fur obsession with coats though. Not to mention snuggly jumpers and knitted tights to keep cosy. I think my outfits looks so much better in Autumn/Winter than they ever do in the warmer months.
• The T.V gets better. Watching T.V isn't something I do much and with good reason. I can never find anything good to watch apart from The Following. So, with Autumn brings Strictly Come Dancing. I love that show and have watched it for years, ever since I can remember actually! I absolutely detest The X-factor though! 
• Darker makeup looks. You can't go wrong with a dark red lipstick or smokey eyes!
• My favourite colours to wear in Autumn are black (no surprise!) and burgundy. 
• I love the darker nights. This is probably why I don't like Summer. The light nights just don't feel right!
• Autumn only means Halloween and Bonfire night! I love special occasions!
• Christmas is closer and only a couple of months way! Christmas time is my favourite time of year so naturally I am already excited!

Are you an Autumn Lover like me and Rachel?
