The real reasons people aren't playing Pokemon GO

You can't escape it. It's everywhere. Pokémon GO. You know the one I mean. The one causing people to walk around like zombies with their faces glued to their phone. And then causing other people to sit upon their high horse and tell people they're "childish" or "geeks" for playing it. And these people might be getting their own way as I heard on the radio on Wednesday that Pokémon Go gameplay is down by 79%. A whopping 79%! I've been racking my brain to try and figure out why these people are so against Pokémon Go. I think I've cracked it...

12 super cute kawaii wallpapers for your phone

Back at the start of high school, I was obsessed with anything remotely kawaii. Like, I'd save random pictures from the internet and print things out to stick out on my school books. I even used to attempt to make my own pixel art, and Pucca was just about my best friend. (I know, I was clearly a cool kid, right?) The obsession slowly died down for a while as I went through sixth form, but now that I've started using my planners and scrapbooks again, all of my kawaii stickers and washi tape have come out to play, and thus, the obsession has returned. (Which I'm very happy with, by the way.)

So, whilst hunting Pinterest for a cute new wallpaper for my phone, I decided to look for something sweet and kawaii, and today I've put a few of my favourites together so that you guys can pick one of your own too!

15 Things I Lie About (Almost!) Daily

Day to day, we are faced with opportunities to either tell the truth, or to tell a fib. I have a confession to make: I'm a big fat liar. I tell a lie pretty much every single day, mostly to myself. And you probably tell a few porkies too. Don't agree? Have a read of my little white lies and see if they change your mind!

Let Me Tell You This #2

Alone this Valentines? Have a date with yourself!

As you all know, the day of love is just around the corner. A day when red rose sales are at an ultimate high, jewellery is flying off the shelves, and restaurants are overflowing with happy couples. But what if you're alone this Valentine's? Your partner might not believe in the holiday (*cough cough* Damian!), or you could live apart. Maybe you're happily married with children and time together seems an impossibility, or maybe you've just not found the special one yet. Then what? Then you have a date with yourself for the night, and here are some fabulous ways to do it (and some lovely giveaways will follow to get you started)...

Let Me Tell You This #1

Happy Sunday guys and gals! Today I'm starting a new feature on Beauty, Books and Babble which is all about sharing things with you. I wanted to start a short, weekly post where I simply sum up important parts of my week I feel I want to share, fill you in on amazing blog posts I've read throughout the past few days, as well as link you up to the things I've been loving - basically a weekly round-up. And thus begins Let Me Tell You This...

Christmas Clothing I Want to Wear All Year Long

I don't know about you guys, but I've never been one to go out of my way to buy some particularly festive fashion on the run up to Christmas. Sure, I've got the odd pair of Christmassy socks and I've had the occasional pair of pants that feature animals in knitwear (thanks M&S!), but I've never gone out of my way to find a cheesy festive piece to take me through December.

5 Make-Up Magicians You Should Follow on Instagram

Sadly, I am not blessed in the make-up application department. It's not like I'm really bad and end up with lipstick all over my face and mascara in my eyebrows (not all the time anyway, lol), but neither can I create a wicked smokey eye blend nor chisel my face with exceptional contouring. This doesn't stop me enjoying make-up or reviewing products that work well for me, but if you want to look for someone with incredible make-up skills, then these are the accounts you need to check out on Instagram...

The Reasons I Love Autumn

I struggle to get into the Autumn spirit through September as I usually have a nice sunny holiday booked. Now we are into October and my holidaying is all done, I feel like Autumn is well and truly here.

This means I can finally make my list of main reasons for loving Autumn! I know, I know; so many people make these lists. Chances are I have the same reasons as so many others, but what the heck! Let's all share the Autumn loving. So, what exactly do I like about this wonderful season...?

Tell Tale Signs You're Becoming a Crazy Cat Lady

Nowadays you don't have to look far to come across something cat related in every day life. It's not hard to stumble upon a cat website, cat clothing, cat homeware, cat TV shows. Cats, cats, cats, cats, cats. And it's awesome.

My cat obsession began years ago when my family took in a stray, who is now known to the world as Minnie Moo. She's fat (like reeeeally fat). She's evil. She's miserable. She's a rubbish cat. But she's my baby and I wouldn't have her any other way.

Ten Reasons You Should Visit Benidorm

Today marks three weeks since I flew home from Benidorm after a weeks holiday, and I am still having withdrawal symptoms, and have been since the day I got home. It was the first time I'd visited Benidorm, and it far surpassed my expectations. I mean, don't get me wrong, I was expecting it to be a great holiday, but honestly, it was amazing!

6 Reasons Why Frozen is Awesome

Disney's Frozen is definitely a movie that caused a storm for both children and adults across the nation. It's a family favourite, and working in a kids play area I have yet to come across a child who doesn't know every single word to 'Let It Go' and 'Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?'!
