Ok, so here goes...
I started this blog sometime in march when i was looking for something to do. I posted random things that didn't mean anything to me and promised an upload schedule i knew i couldn't keep to.
I'm not saying i didn't try, in fact, i tried too hard. And after i gained a grand total of zero followers and a small number of page views, I gave up.
It's now July and i've been doing some thinking. I'm going to start using this blog again. I'm going to post what i want, not what i think will get me an audience, even if every blog advice channel says otherwise. If people want to follow my blog, then I'll be overjoyed. If they don't. who cares? This can be kind of like a diary, and might be fun to look back on.
If I am going to do this properly, I just need to not care that I'm talking to myself at first. Hopefully this will grow, even if it's by one kind person following me out of sympathy.
Is this how to blog?
I've got no idea, but hopefully I'll learn.
Goodbye imaginary friends...

5 Party Ideas // Non house-party options
Hey Guys!
Today I'm going to talk to you about party ideas!
Hosting a party can be huge deal, especially if you are a teenager like me. The obvious one is a house party, but there is the problem of good music, making sure everyone is having a good time, nice food, embarrassing parents plus masses of clearing up afterwards. If you definitely don't want to take this route, I've got some good ideas for you to still make your birthday special...
1// Going Out for a Meal
This one could be a little pricy but there are plenty of great places with amazing prices (and always have a deal on anyway). Choose a few friends (two or three) and go out for lunch. Places like Nando's and Ed's Easy Diner are great for low key birthdays and they are slightly cheaper than bigger restaurants. I also know for a fact that Ed's Easy Diner do a membership called "Ed's club" where there are always amazing offers (like when you join you get a free burger or hot dog with any drink).
2// Pizza and a Movie
This is a classic birthday bash idea, you just can't go wrong with pizza! Although this might seem a little bog standard at first, you can plan this so that its very exciting! I always love to watch a soppy RomCom with my girlfriends, so just add some other things to do such as Xbox tournaments or a sport (if its warm enough outside).
3// Sophisticated British Garden Party
This one works best in the summer months. Invite as many friends as you like for an afternoon, plan the whole thing outside, serve typical British finger food and also mocktails (or something stronger if you're of age!). You can play tennis or badminton and just have a good natter with your mates. For food, a barbecue works best with summer pudding or similar for dessert.
4// Day Trip
Remember when you were a little kid and you would take your whole primary class to the swimming pool and then have party food in the little back room? Well there is no reason you can't do that now! Take a few friends on a day trip to the beach, swimming pool, trampoline park or ice rink and then back to yours for food. A girls day is always the best day to spend a birthday in my opinion.
5// A Pamper Party
If you and your friends are into beauty, this would be perfect! For a reasonable price, a beautician will come to your house and do all your friends nails and give you all facials etc. You could even do this yourself if you wanted! You could go the extra mile and get robes and serve chocolate dipped strawberries and/ or smoothies for a super realistic salon experience.
Well that's it! I hope there is an option for everyone here! I will be uploading again on Wednesday! It will probably be a skincare post!
Love,
Me ♥

My Favourite Product of the Week // Maybelline Brow Drama
Hey guys!
Today's post is the first in a new series, "My Favourite Product of the Week":
This week, I went back to school after the half term break which meant I had literally 2 seconds to deal with my eyebrows before I had to rush off to school. This meant that my using my usual eyebrow pencil (a Rimmel one if you're interested) would not be quick enough.
I remembered I'd bought a tinted brow gel a little while ago (and not really loved it that much) and decided to break it out again.
It is safe to say, after a little experimentation with the application of the product, I now
LOVE it!!!!
I have this product in "dark blonde", as it is the lightest shade and I have blonde eyebrows. It is a little dark (I'm extremely fair) but looks good when put on sparingly. When I first bought this product, I was using primarily the funny ball-thing on the end of the brush. But after some experimenting, I think it is much better to focus more on the shorter-bristled end. For some reason, it came out better on me this way! The colour range isn't fantastic, but should suit most people.
Not only is the colour great, it also holds my brows in place all day, which means I don't look in the mirror at lunchtime to find every single brow hair facing a different direction. Personally, I think it's probably the best product I've ever used at keeping all the hairs in place!
The price is amazing, I bought it for £4.99 at Boots which means there will not be a need to dig too deep into my wallet when it comes to repurchasing!
Overall, if you're looking for a nice brow gel that colours the brows evenly and hold them in place all day, you really can't go wrong with this little product. It will be in my makeup bag for a very long time!
Hope you guys enjoyed my first proper post!
Love,
Me ♥

Sunday is "My favourite product of the week" which is where I show you my fav beauty product of the week.
Hope that's okay because I'm new to this blogging lark!)

| Sorry about the quality- again, I'm new to this!!! |
 |
| The packaging is pretty average, but that isn't something that bothers me, especially with a drugstore product |

| The brush is a little weird at first, but you do get used to it. |

Welcome to JustAnotherLifeBlog
Hey guys!
Welcome to my brand new blog! It's called "JustAnotherLifeBlog" (which doesn't really mean anything so I'll probably change it when I think of something catchy). I haven't really decided which route I want to take with this blog, so for now you can expect a mixture of beauty, lifestyle, travel and little snippets of what I'm getting up too.
Love,
Me ♥
