Happy Sunday everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend? Mine was spent at LoveBox festival which was brilliant, I had a wonderful time, mainly spent chilling in the hammocks under a huge tree as it was so sweaty hot! I had filmed a vlog about this and it will be up on my channel next week hopefully. I have also filmed a video with my lovely blogger friend and former roomate Jough which will be up soon too! I have so many videos at the moment! I'm loving it though :)

I hope you enjoy this Part. 3 of my holiday. I cant believe I filmed so many clips for such a chilled holiday, but its so nice to look back on all the things we done. If you film any holiday vlogs, do tweet me at @khrissieloves as I would love to see them.

Let me know any feedback as I'm always looking to improve!
Thanks guys

KhrissieLoves... Vlogging Pt. 2 (holiday edition)

 

Evening Ladies & Gentlemen!

Here I have Part 2 of my vlog as I had to separate the footage as there way too much! It's been so fun trying to learn how to edit these things, and I still have lots to learn but hopefully its watchable without being too annoying? 

I seem to talk a lot in these vlogs ha! It was my first ever vlogging session and I didnt really have a plan on how it was going to come together, so this is me just being me! We play mini golf and get a little bit crazy at the end of the video....

Part. 3 will be uploaded next weekend.

I hope your enjoying this little holiday series and if you want more just let me know

Are any of you heading off on holiday this summer?

Or have yu already been somewhere. Let me know as I love hearing

about your recommendations

Blogger Event: Afternoon Tea

So today I went on Twitter (shocker!) and I saw that there was a little bloggers event happening that Sophie Morgan had organised. It was to meet at the Charlotte Street Hotel and have afternoon tea and a chat which sounds like the perfect thing to do on a Sunday afternoon so I decided to go along.

The girls at the event were: Jess Dante, Sunny_London, Katie Matthews, Sophie Morgan, Lottie Pearce & April Todd / Make sure you check them out as they have great blogs!

I hadn't met any of the bloggers before or even talked to many of them but one of the points of me doing a blog is to help me gain confidence and this was a perfect way to do that, as well as meet some lovely bloggers. There was a choice of two teas to choose from so I picked the traditional which included:

Sandwiches: Cheese & Pickle / Salmon / Egg
Scones with cream and jam (which were still warm! yum!)
Cakes: Victoria sponge / Carrot Cake / Orange Chocolate cake
Tea: A wide variety from English Breakfast to Green Tea
Price: £23

I was so nice hearing all the bloggers stories and getting to know them all. It's interesting to hear their back stories and what they do as a job, engagement stories! Congratulations Sophie, your story was adorable <3

I hope I get to meet them again and go to more events like this as its so relaxed with no pressure on taking photos etc. Make sure you go to the Charlotte Street Hotel if you get a chance as the food is so delicious and the interior is gorgeous! I just spent some of my time staring at the paintings on the walls.

Thank you so much for inviting me :)

Hello there you wonderful lot,

Here I have put together a Festival Kit for you based on products at the drugstore. If your a beauty lover and make up enthusiast I know you wouldn't go a day with at least a lashing of mascara. 

When your at a festival you never want to take your best things and somehow they always get lost!...Hello Nokia 3310! So I thought why not show you how you can pack your own little make up bag away for the weekend with products that you don't have to worry about and give you so many different looks in one, just by having the right palette with you. 

My favourite stand out item has to be the 'Sleek i-devine Eyeshadow Palette in Rio Rio'. It's limited edition for the summer and its perfect. I mean..just look at those colours! Festivals are the time to experiment with shadows and put away your neutrals that we are oh so attached to! This palette is a perfect transition from that and they are mineral based so they feel so soft and they blend really well, so get experimenting people! 

I've got a second post coming up with 2 looks using all these products, I had great fun with them and I'm looking out to trying more. I hope this was helpful to you and gives you some inspiration on what to take if your heading to a festival soon.

What festivals are you going to this year?

If you try out any looks based on the 'Rio Rio' palette please tweet me so I can see

all your wonderful creations / @khrissieloves

See yo' later!

The British Tag #tealovers

Hello there,

So I'm a new blogger I have been trying to find ways to connect and meet new bloggers as my friends just don't get this whole 'blogger' thing so it's nice to talk to people with the same interest. After looking at Becky Bedbugs blog I saw that there were weekly chats for lifestyle, beauty and fashion bloggers etc and so I just had to get involved.

On one of these chats we ended up getting onto the conversation of tea and how much we love it, what biscuits if any we like to dunk etc... and so the hashtag #tealover was born! I was so content that this became a thing and so when Emily May done the British tag and nominated me I had to do it!

So here it goes.....

1. How many cups of tea do you drink a day? Any sugars?
I would say roughly 1-4 cups a day! Definitely one in the morning and in then in the afternoon, its definitely an 'Ahhhh!' moment for me when I drink it! 1 sugar please!


2. Favourite part of your roast?
Omgosh! How can I decide? I don't get roasts often but I'm going to have to say roast potatoes! Especially how my Grandad does them, they are to die for! (now im dreaming of them...)


3. Favourite dunking biscuit?
As Emily had mentioned in her post, this came up in our chat #tealovers and I am definitely a bourbon kind of girl! I had a good ol' dunk today actually.. so satisfying!


4. Favourite quintessentially British pastime?
Ooo mine would have to be a nice picnic in the park! I've always wanted to buy a proper picnic basket and have a check blanket to sit on with scones and cute little cakes. Ok... I need to make this happen this summer. I'll let you know how I get on.. a perfect picnic pack up post might be coming your way...


5. Favourite word?
oh this is easy 'darling'.... Darling is a great word! I like to talk in a proper british accent sometimes, just to accentuate part of a conversation. Weird I know but its great fun!


6. Cockney rhyme slang?
To be honest I don't know too many. The one that I have used, in what conversation I do not know is 'Bobby Dazzler'. Like...she's a right bobby dazzler (good looker)


7. Favourite sweets/chocolate?
This is hard to answer as I have a favourite chocolate/sweet then I get bored of it and I move on. At the moment I am in love with Daim bars! omg! and they are so hard to find but a part of Kraft. Before that I was loving Snickers..Mmm especially in Ice Cream format, which is British yay!


8. What would your pub be called?
'The Unicorn' I'm sure it already exists but I have a thing with them at the moment and the royal logo features a unicorn on it so real or not its British..he!


9. Favourite British person?
The Queen! She's amazing and I love all the co-ordination in her outfits, even down to the umberllas she uses. I think we can take some learnings from olde' queeny.


10. Favourite pub/restaurant?
I'm not even sure whats classed as British theses days but I bloody love a good pie and Pieminister do the best pie and mash ever! If you can I highly recommend you check them out, theres a pop up in Camden Town, London if your ever visiting....


11. What British song pops into your head?
Spice Girls 'When 2 becomes 1'.... weren't they just the best girl band EVER!!!


12. Marmite?
Uh yes! Sometimes its just needed on toast in the morning but its best in things like stews and casseroles. It's my little trick when ever I am making anything with mince/lentils as it just adds a kick of flavour which really benefits the dish.

Well that was good fun! You should definitely do this tag as I nominate everyone, no matter where in the world you are. You can create a post and link it to me as I'd love to see your answers or just comment below so I can have a gander.

...and don't forget to tweet #tealover if your a fan of the good stuff too!

Khrissie Loves...Vlogging Pt.1 (Holiday Edition)

   

Happy Sunday!

So as you might have known if you have seen any of my social media last week, that I have been having a whale of a time on holiday with my wonderful friend Ellie. We normally plan a spontaneous holiday and this is our third one which is yet again in the Canary Islands. We just can't keep away and we now have a plan to make sure we visit all of them at some point.

As I have just started my blog, finally! I thought, why not vlog it? You get a better feel of the place rather than bombarding a post with too many photos I couldn't even be bothered to sift through. I'm not a very confident person and can be quite the introvert but I am doing this blog to change that and hopefully help my anxiety a bit more. I was quite surprised with how quickly I picked it up and I really didn't mind too much about talking with other people around. I think London would be a different feeling all together though.

I have added a few random photos into the post too as I didn't take too many as I was vlogging or relaxing by the pool most of the time! Oh how I'm dreaming up my next holiday. This is my first ever vlogging and video editing experience and although I've had to learn as I went on, I've managed to get this first bit done over some spare time over the last 2 days which I am pretty happy with.

Please let me know any feedback because I of course want to get better at this as its a skill I'm really enjoying learning. I hope you enjoy seeing a little bit into my time on holiday and look out for part 2 which will be up next week.

Hello there!

So its the first weekend in July and I cant believe it! I know most people say this but life really is going to quick. I've been in Tenerife that last week as you may have seen through my social media and it was the nicest, most relaxing week ever! I'm definitely going through a stage of holiday blues but I've been so busy since I got back I haven't had a chance to just sit down and chill to get over it. This is the first time I've been able to sit and relax a little and I'm not going to lie, all I want to do today is lay in bed and watch 'Orange is the new black' and eat ice cream, as I'm completely shattered. 

Theres so much I want to do with my blog and so many posts that need sorting but I really dont have enough time, as theres only so much daylight for shooting in the day as well as needing to do two whole loads of washing as I dont have anything to wear at the moment, so shameful!

Theres always overwhelming days in life but I'll soon sort myself out and be right back on track with everything, I'm sure of it! I'm also trying to learn how to edit videos as I vlogged a lot of little clips while on holiday and I've managed a little bit so far but I'm trying to get all the transitions right and do I add a intro page? do I add music? Its all up in the air but I'm really enjoying learning a new skill.

I'm going to have a little break and catch up on some programmes (eh-hem! OITNB) and then try and learn some more editing skills! Have a lovely weekend and dont feel ashamed if you want to stay in and be a little lazy too as we all need a break from the real world at some point!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you decide.
