I decided to start a new segment on this blog as it's coming up to halloween. The 'Hello Halloween' segment will have loads of costume ideas, party ideas and just things to do on halloween in general which I'll be uploading daily!

Today, I'll be showing you how to look just like Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games!

Firstly, the costume, you need:

~ black trousers/jeans/leggings - £22.99 from pull&bear (you can get a cheap pair of jeans from primark, etc but I particularly like these jeans from pull&bear)

~ brown leather/pleather jacket - £16 from forever 21

~ plain black top - £4.75 from forever 21

~ brown boots - £19.99 from shoezone

~ bow and arrow set - £10 from ebay

You can jazz up this outfit by stacking bracelets or adding a satchel bag.

gym/p.e essentials.

Whether you're just doing compulsory P.E for school or want to shed a couple of pounds at the gym, there are some definite after workout essentials:

source: weheartit

~ a gym bag - this is pretty obvious. It's better to buy a proper gym bag than using a plastic bag since a lot of people mistake it either for rubbish or as their known, trust me, I've seen it before.
~ a refreshing/hydrating drink - a cool drink, water is usually the best, after before and during exercise is essential.
~ trainers - a good pair of trainers will go a long way. Invest in a good pair of running shoes, they're a lot better than wearing converses or plimsolls!
~ a snack bar - a healthy snack bar after exercise will hopefully fill you up between meals so you're not starving and to restore your energy. Granola bar or a cereal bar are just as good.
~ a body spray/deodorant - I always put on deodorant before I workout as I don't want to end up smelling like a walking pile of dirty laundry! After exercise, I spray on some body spray, I especially love Hollister ones, and ta dah - it's like you never even sweated.
~ beauty essentials - it's always a good idea to have a small cosmetic bag to hand with all your essentials like a hair brush, lip balm, etc.
~ and finally, your workout clothes - this is probably very obvious, always wear clothes that you feel comfortable in, comfort before fashion as I say!

my autumn resolutions.

Hello everyone! I was stuck today for what to write for a post but then a random idea popped into my head, "what about autumn resolutions?" I'm sure someone has already done it and I know that I never keep to my New Year's resolutions but I thought, why not? Instead of resolutions to always do my homework on time and all that jazz, it's going to be a bit more beauty/fashion/just life in general related.

1. To read more books - I read a lot of books if I'm honest but since school started, I've just reread my old ones since I'm too lazy to buy some more. Ones that I particularly want to read are It's Kind Of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini and What Happened to Goodbye? by Sarah Dessen.

2. Eat less junk food - What can I say...I am addicted to crisps and chocolate. I really need to get healthier so I'm going try! *fingers crossed*

3. Spend less money - I find myself splurging on expensive clothes during autumn/winter time. So I'm going to try and spend a little less.

Do you have any autumn resolutions?
