Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long See You Tomorrow

Hey guys! This is going to be a short post as we've got so much going on with school atm! *sigh* we've got 'Challenge grade reviews' tomorrow which is when we get told if we're on target or not in each subject which is interesting.... And we've also got a lot going on with 'Guys and Dolls' as well as all the homework we've got on top of it all!

We absolutely LOVE Bombay Bicycle Club's new album 'So Long See You Tomorrow'. *Em* I can't wait to see them live! *Han* I'm SOOOOO JEALOUS! But tbh I'm going to ONE DIRECTION in May! THEY WON TWO BRITS!!!! WHOOO! *Em* I REALLY COULDN'T CARE LESS! Haha :) x anyway back to the post at hand *Han* Sorry.

Why we love the new album:
Firstly, the music is just amazing! It's different to what they've done before and we love it! *Em* I've had the album since Saturday and I haven't stopped playing it since! *Han* I haven't actually got the album I've only listened to it on YouTube, but the music is so uplifting and Iw think they will be so good in concert (lucky Em)! :)
Jack Steadman's voice sounds so amazing, especially in 'Feel'.

Favourite songs - Overdone, Carry Me, Luna (the video is also amazing), It's Alright Now and Feel.

We would give this album 5 stars. We also love the album A Different Kind of Fix, but the new album has more of a bollywood (if you'd call it that) twist which we love! We definitely recommend you getting the album!

We are so excited that we've been blogging for over a month now! WE'VE WRITTEN 40 POSTS (including this one)! We absolutely love writing the posts and hope that you enjoy reading the blog too!

P.S. we can't post for a little while sorry cuz we're off on hols without the joys that is the internet :( you don't realize how much you rely on it until it's gone :S

Quote of amazingness - Emily

'Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.' (Albert Einstein)

Isn't that quote just so amazing? It speaks for itself.
When I read this quote it instantly meant a lot to me. It gives people inspiration and shows that people who think themselves as stupid haven't found their calling in life yet. People need to believe in themselves a lot more and it really upsets me to see people who are so amazing so broken because they don't see themselves as we see them, and put themselves down for the things they can't be/do. These people could be absolutely amazing at something and not realise it.

I'm a MAJOR perfectionist and this quote has helped me to get through times where I think I'm not good enough and realise that there are things that I will be good at and things that I will not be as good at. It brings so much positivity to me :)

This quote means so much to me, and I hope you will love it too :) quotes are amazing they get me through life tbh :) this post was pretty deep haha sorry just spoiled the mood

Homework - UGH

HEEEYYY GGUUYYSS!! Today has been a REALLY boring day, not to mention an evening of homework. Han is feverishly trying to remember PHYSICS CALCULATIONS (HEEEEEEEEEEEELP) and Em is doing art (which may I mention takes FOREVER!).

Unfortunately we didn't get the parts we wanted in 'Guys and Dolls' :(, but the teachers said it was really close between Han and another girl to get the part of Adelaide (OF COURSE IT IS THE ONE THAT ALWAYS GET'S IT. We are sooooooo annoyed about that it's UNBELIEVABLE. *snap of fingers* And back in the blog). We still did ourselves really proud and the teachers loved our audition!

 Em got the part of Martha who's a main member in the Missionary Band which should be really fun and exciting as it might not be a massive part, but she get lots of singing and musical things to do (Em loves music and she's SUPER musical)  and not to mention she gets to preach with the rest of the salvation army!

Hana got the part of Mimi who is Adelaide's best friend. Although she didn't get Adelaide Han is happy with this part and gets to do a big scene. Han also gets to be a 'Hot Box Dancer' which seems sooo fun!

Sorry this post isn't very exciting! Tomorrow we have a really exciting post planned.

TOWN!

For once we are going to do a LOOOOOOOONG post :)

Today we went into town. It actually wasn't as eventful as hoped, but we did pretty well. Emily was good and didn't buy anything (because she is saving up for our trip to London next week ( on Wednesday to be precise) AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH can't wait).

1. We went to boots. Han bought a new Maybelline the rocket mascara and the new limited edition Vaseline  No 3 (called Paint the town it's a cute red colour)

2. Then our shopping took us to Next because Han had to pick up an order of a t-shirt saying 'I love fashion, blogging, coffee and you' but sadly it didn't look as nice on her as on the model (when does it ever tbh)

3. We have bronze D of E in the summer and so we went to a random outdoorsie (that is a word) shop to buy hiking boots, walking socks and waterproof coats etc.

4. Zara was the next stop on our list. We both tried on some cute stuff (Han tried on a blazer and Em tried on her signature oversized wooly jumper).

5. Then last (but DEFINITELY not least) we went to THORNTONS!!! YUUUUM! We bought a packet of those pink strawberry-chocolate buttons (so cute!)

Hope you enjoyed this post! Ohhh, we almost forgot, for lunch we went to our signature restaurant (pret a manger) and had a LOVELY bowl of thai chicken soup to share and OBVIOUSLY had a little 'stop off' in Starbucks to have a SALTED CARAMEL HOT CHOCOLATE (our fave!).

Bye,

Valentine's Day

Heyyyyyyyy!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Our Valentine's Day was actually pretty uneventful. Everyone was really flat for some reason. The sixth formers in our school did do a rose sale and a singing serenade (which was quite funny), but other than that nothing happened.
Sorry if it's a bit short, but today was not very exciting.


Hanily x
P.S. Sorry, we did write this post yesterday, but we forgot to post it :S woops.

COMMENT BELOW ON YOUR VALENTINE'S DAY!

A Boring Saturday

Hello Guys!

Today we have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except for homework. Soooooo boring (as the title suggests). The only thing that has happened today is that we went to this cute little coffee shop near to where we live for lunch and we have stayed in for the rest on the day.

Later on we will probably watch the hunger games at Han's house because we love that movie so much (and so we can watch catching fire AS SOON AS IT IS ON BLUE RAY/DVD!). We've already seen 'Catching Fire' so we know that it is AMAZING! It followed the book so well and we LOVED the last line (we won't spoil it if you haven't seen it yet.

So, yeah, that's all we have to say :) tomorrow we are going into town so our blog will be a bit more exciting x

BLOG SOON!!!!

BYEE!

Our Audition for 'Guys and Dolls'

Hello, we told you the other day about our auditions for the school play 'Guys and Dolls'. We did our auditions today and are SO PLEASED WITH OURSELVES! Seriously though we did ourselves proud. That girl we were telling you about (that ALWAYS gets the main part) even said that we did very well.

Han auditioned for the part of 'Adelaide' and her New York accent was SO FUNNY,  the judges (if that's what you call the people who audition us) were laughing so hard you can't believe :) she was so stupid and 'ditsy blonde'.
Em has done the audition for 'Sarah Brown'. She was so brilliant, proper and AAAMMMAAAZZZIIINNNGGG! The PERFECT Sarah.

Our drama teacher told us today that we were fab and she didn't expect it from us to be that good. So hopefully . . .
Blog tomorrow x BYE!

Valentine's Day Make-up Tutorial - Hana

Step 1: Put your hair in a ponytail
Step 2: Foundation

Step 2: Eyes
- Jack Wills 'Powder Pink' eyeshadow as a base

- Ted Baker 'Heather' shadow in crease

- E.L.F 'Midnight' Eyeliner and Maybelline 'Illegal Length' Mascara

Step 3: Blush and Bronzer

Step 4: Lips

- Natural Collection 'Raspberry' Lipstick lining the cupids bow and bottom of the lips

Our Unexciting Life

His guys :) today we are just going to do a life update, HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

School is as boring as always and we are CONSTANTLY tired from the 6 o clock starts (yaaaaawn)! Today we did work, work and MORE WORK so yay (NOT) and tomorrow we're guessing we will do the same. Our lives are so eventful (ha! You couldn't get more sarcastic if you tried!!!!!). Sometimes we think this blog is the only thing keeping us sane!

On Wednesday we are auditioning for a part in our school production (guys and dolls) Han is auditioning for Adelaide (the stereotype new York dumb showgirl) and Em is going for the part of Sarah Brown (the sallie army girl). So that should be fun. We hope we have a fighting chance, but as in all schools there is a girl that is a TOTAL teachers pet that thinks she is SO AMAZING AT EVERYTHING that always gets the main parts (so keep your fingers crossed for us you guys!!!) X

Also, as you already know (unless you've been living under a rock) it's Valentine's day on Friday!!!!! However, both of us are single and are not expecting any roses, so we will be each other's Valentine!! Whoooooo! How cool are we???? NOT AT ALL! Lol x comment if you are in the same sticky situation! We could have a SINGLES BLOG NIGHT together :)

So, yeah. That seems to be our week in a nutshell! That was UNBELIEVABLY unexciting, but never mind.

See Ya!!

Byeeeeeee

What's the Deal with Brighton and YouTubers?

We don't really have anything much to say today, but we didn't want to miss a blog post so we will ask you a question instead. That question is this: what is the deal with YouTubers and Brighton?

It seems that a LARGE number of the British YouTubers have moved to or are living in Brighton. We don't get why. Zoella has recently moved there and it got us thinking. Does anyone know if Brighton has any particular YouTube oriented organization or something that will somehow explain this mystery. Surely London (though more expensive) is a more sensible place to be because of all of the facilities and sights an opportunities. To be honest neither of us have actually been to Brighton so if you have been there or even live there please comment to give us a quick explanation :)

Luv u guys xxx

Hanily x

P.S. sorry if you live and love Brighton, we didn't mean to offend you, we were just curious <3 xx

Fave Biscuits

A bit random, but here is a list (in order) of our FAVE BISCUITS! We recommend you try EVERY SINGLE ONE and we promise you will <3 them.

1. Oreos (the ones with the white chocolate stuff in the middle)
2. Marks and Spencer all butter Sultana Cookies (AAAAAAAHHHH! We're dying inside! WE WANT ONE (well two seeing as there are two of us)!!
3. White chocolate chip cookies (the big ones that are chewy and LUSH!)
4. Chocolate Shortcake biscuit rings (licking my lips)
5. Chocolate fingers (have you realized that almost all of these biscuits include chocolate??) 
6. Custard Creams (YUM! Need we say more??)
7. Chocolate Digestive (a classic, but still DELICIOUS!)

May we ask why did we just torture ourselves with the thought of such AMAZING biscuits??? Ohh well, just off to eat some (we told ourselves we wouldn't, but the temptation is just MASSIVE!)

Hanily x

BTW! Have you guys noticed that we've changed our font? What d u think of it??

Em This or That Tag

Hey it's Emily and this is my 'This or That tag'

Makeup

Foundation or concealer?
Foundation

Eyeliner or mascara?
Definitely mascara - I wear it ALL the time! I sometimes wear eyeliner but only if I'm going out.

Blusher or Bronzer?
Definitely blusher! 

Lip Gloss or Lip Stick?

I prefer lipstick because I prefer matte to shiny on me, but I think lip gloss can look pretty... just not on me. I like to go for a bold lip look quite often as it gives me more colour - so I prefer lipstick.

Neutral or colour eye shadow?

Neutral or smokey eyeshadows

Pressed or loose eye shadows?

Pressed - they're easier to work with

Brushes or sponges?

Brushes

Nails

OPI or China Glaze?

OPI - I really like the colours and the finish.

Long or short?

Inbetween - I hate when nails are really short so that you can't do anything with them - but when they are so long it looks a bit stupid aswell as not being able to do anything! 

Acrylic or natural?

I'd say natural - but I did have some gorgeous false nails from House of Holland for Christmas - but they took a lot of fuss to take off and they were a bit of an inconvenience at times. They looked AMAZING though! 

Brights or darks?

I like dark colours - such as purples or deep red.

Flower or no flower?

No flower - I think they can sometimes cheapen the look.

Body

Perfume or body spray?

I'd say body spray is more wearable for everyday - but I like using perfume on occasions. 

Lotion or body butter?

Either - but I'd probably go towards body butter.

Body wash or soap?

Body wash definitely!

Lush or other bath company?

Lush - is that even a question?!

Fashion

Jeans or sweat pants?

Jeans - but sweatpants are so comfy on a lazy day in.

Long sleeve of short?

I like long sleeve - I live in jumpers! But I like short sleeve in the summer :)

Dresses or skirts?

I'd say I look better in dresses, but either

Stripes or plain t-shirts?

Plain - you can do more with it.

Flip flops or sandals?

Sandals look more classy but I love flip flops too.

Scarves or hats?

Either 

Studs or dangly earrings?

I don't have my ears pierced and I don't think there'd be any point because you wouldn't be able to see them from my hair which I wear down all the time! But if I were  get my ears pierced I'd go with dangly ones :)

Necklaces or bracelets?

Either - it depends what I'm wearing.

Heels or flats?

Either - again it depends on what with.

Jacket or Hoodie?

I love hoodies atm!

Abercombie or Hollister?

I don't tend to shop in either tbh only rarely, bit probably Hollister.

Hair

Curly or straight?

I prefer straight because it's easier to manage, but I don't like dead straight hair, I prefer layered or wavy hair.

Bun or ponytail?

Well my hair is quite short so I can't really do either! But definitely a bun :) 

Hair spray or gel?

Definitely hair spray it gives more texture

 Long or short?

Well i used to have really long hair, but i cut it short! It's just above shoulder height and I think that it frames my face a lot more. It's so much easier to manage! I can't really do much with it though mind - and I do kind of miss that. I think people look really nice with long hair - it really suits hana! 

Light or dark?

It depends on the person - but I really like chocolatey brunette hair.

Up or down?

Down on me - putting my hair up never suited me which is part of the reason I cut it.

Random

Rain or shine?

Well shine... but I do like rainy days 

Summer or winter?

Even though my birthday is in the summer and it's hot (well for us) I'd have to say winter! Christmas (enough said), and cosying up by the fire! I love wearing cosy jumpers and pajamas, hot chocolate is my favourite drink ever! And yeah I love winter :)

Fall or spring?

I really like spring :) 

Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?

Either - but I LOVE chocolate!

Hope you enjoyed this! Em x

Neutral or colour eye shadow?

Pressed or loose eye shadows?

Brushes because I find sponges are way less 'spreadable' if that makes any sense.

Nails

OPI or China Glaze?

Long because they look so beautiful and elegant. However my nails break after reaching a certain length so I have to cut them.

Plain because you can wear a nice patterned trousers or skirts with it (which I really like to wear).

Abercombie or Hollister?

Hollister (the smell when you go in . . . YUUUUUUM!)

Hair

Curly

Fave Quotes #2

Just thought it would be nice to do something different x <3

Han: I love this quote and if I had to have a tattoo (which I'm not going to) I would have "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" on the back of my neck or on the inside of my wrist. This is a quote from Harry Potter (which you ALL know I love!) and I think it is just so cute and quirky. I also like the quote from Aladdin 'A Whole New World' I LOVE THAT SONG! The quote is 'I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far I can't go back to where I used to be'. That is such a lovely thought :)

WELCOME TO FEBRUARY!

January has been and gone so QUICKLY! We can't believe it, its nearly been a month since we started our blog!

If you have any kind of beverage we propose a toast, 'To February, may this month be even better than the last . . . if that is even possible :)'.

February Resolutions (because the January ones didn't go quite as planned :S woops)

1. Stop getting so stressed and JUST RELAX (seriously we need to take a chill pill or two)
2. Stop spending every time we go shopping and start saving a bit more (its gonna be hard, but we can try)
3. Read a more variegated genres of books (we usually read adventure/romance so maybe we should try some classics or something? comment below if you have any good book ideas)
4. Spend less time on technology, because seriously it rules our lives
5. Try not to get too distracted (we're not really keeping to that resolution right now, because we are supposed to be doing homework, but NEVER MIND)

Hope you guys enjoyed this. Sorry we didn't post yesterday it's just we were at our  friend Jess's house and we weren't anywhere near a computer. :)

LUVS YA!!!
