Pauline's Sixth Form/College Equipment Advice

I've done my time at sixth form now so I feel like it is wise to pass on my knowledge of what you need for it. Also, since I'm slightly older than the other bloggers on this (only by a year or two), the equipment you need for the higher years are slightly different to that of the lower years. Most of it is the same but sometimes it's worth spending a bit more money on the useful stuff.

I did a stationary haul a few years ago before I started sixth form on my own blog here!
WARNING: There's a lot of photos of my face so be prepared.

For some courses, you may be given an equipment list for it, you know, essentials that you really need in order to survive the year or whatever. I have one from my uni which is about two A4 pages long (*sigh* goodbye, money) so make sure you read into that and get as much of it as you can.

Don't expect the school or college to provide you with stuff. There's no doubt that they'll have some just in case but it won't be enough to supply the whole class and you waste time waiting for the equipment you need. Trust me. If you can, it's also worth talking to those who have already done the course or class that you are about to start so you know what else you may have to get. It's better to be over-prepared.

I hope you all have a good school year ahead. Mine doesn't start until the 28th September (woohoo!) so I still have time to organise money and stuff. University is expensive.

That's all for now. Stay beautiful x

Ró's School Supplies

Hello Fabulous Internet!
This week on The Little Chatter Boxes is another instalment in out Back To School series, it is school supplies haul. Enjoy.

This year, I didn't have to get that many things for school as I am going into Transition Year (if you don't know what transition year is click HERE). Basically it is a more relaxed year for my brain and my back. Since I didn't need to get too much new things I thought I would do a sort of 'What's in My Schoolbag, Supplies Addition'.

My schoolbag is a JanSport Big Student in Purple Night Preston Plaid (Click HERE). I got this bag last year on Amazon as I really needed a large bag for the next school year and they are so hard to get and expensive in Ireland. I think when I got it is has around $40/€30.

I got 2 two-ringed binders , one in blue and the other in pink. I know they are very plain but I hope to make them a bit more pretty. I also got some plastic pockets for my folders and a huge refill pad. I got this new pencil case but it can just about fit everything in it.  

This does not all fit into my pencil case, it is not Hermione bag that has endless amount of space! As usually I have Bic 4 Colour Ballpoint Pens. I normally just use the red out of these but they are great if you forgot your pencil case and only have that pen.
 Bic Evolution Hb Pencils, I am not that fussy when it comes to pencils as long as the nib doesn't break every time you try to pair them and these Bic ones do the job.
Since I am left-handed, I normally can't use gel type pens as it will just go everywhere. I really like Staedtler Blue Ballpoint Pens as they dry instantly and are nice to write with. I found these last year and I keep repurchasing them.
You can never go wrong with highlighters, so I just have a random blue and yellow one.
Of course everyone needs a calculator and I have a standard Casio Fx83 Scientific Calculator which does the job. 
I also have a rubber, dolphin ruler (because I'm classy) and a pencil parer.
I don't know why but during class my lips can get real dry so I always keep a lip balm in my pencil case. Currently I have Nivea Pearly Shine Lip Balm and I really like it as it is moisturising and gives a bit of colour.

That's all for my school supplies haul (that rhythms)!
See you,

Pauline - Back To School: Transitioning Into University

By the 21th of September, I will have moved into Birmingham and on the 28th I will begin my university studies.

Luckily for me, I already know who my flatmates are and a fair idea of what they're like thanks to the magic that is Facebook. I hope we still get along when we actually meet but only time will tell.

Moving into university is both exciting and nerve-wrecking for me.

On the one hand, I get to experience a change of scenery; I'll be in a different city in a different region of the UK which means, yes, different accents. A Birmingham accent doesn't seem to be popular amongst my friends so I hope that it doesn't rub off so much on me.

It also means I get the chance to be independent and live (sort of ) on my own. That's what I'm looking forward to the most.

However, it also means I'm away from everything that I find comfort in - he and I will be making frequent journeys to and fro between cities. There's no way I'm going for a long time without my boyfriend. There's also the case of being in a place where everyone's interests are the same and it's harder to stand out. At school, your friends, yourself, others in your class, you all had varying hobbies and you felt unique and you stood out.

In school, you would join a club to find people with similar interests. Uni is like one really big club with about 50, 100, even 200 people who have the same skills, the same knowledge, ideas. It's harder to stand out and it makes me feel nervous because I have no idea how good everyone else will be compared to me. I know I'm not the only one that feels that way, especially since I'm going to a big university which would have a lot of people on the same course.

That's all for now. Stay beautiful x

PS I know this is Fashion week but I thought doing this was more important. I saw that a lot of people are nervous about moving into uni and outfits are at the back of everyone's minds.

Pauline's Summer Barbecue List


It felt silly to add "Food" onto the list since that's a given...

Anyway, you can't have a good summer without a barbecue. It's just not allowed.

The list up there is what I consider makes a great barbecue asides from the burgers, sausages and steaks on the grill.

British people complaining constantly about the weather happens a lot because we have something serious to complain about. The sun doesn't like us and, when it's out, it's scorching but barbecue ready. I don't understand the weather here and I don't think I ever will. 

Next point!
My go-to barbecue drink is beer; I am old enough, I like it and I consider myself to be quite responsible. If you're under the age limit then obviously don't have alcohol. Stick with cold fizzy drinks and juices. If you can, splash out on drinks like J2O. They taste so much better at a barbecue. Barbecues are a great excuse to eat and drink unhealthily without judgement from others. If they do judge you, they don't belong there. Eat and drink as much as you can handle, my friend!

"No restricting outfits"
"What does that mean?" I hear you ask.
If you and your friends are a hyped up bunch of people like my own then it is important that you are wearing something that isn't restricting your movement. Especially if you have friends with big gardens to do some running or a trampoline to jump on. Be a child! It's great.

Ró's Breakfast Sundae

Hello Fabulous Internet,
I got this recipe from the book Love, Tanya by Tanya Burr. I love having this for breakfast in the morning, I much prefer having this over having a bowl of cereal. The longest thing to make is the stewed apple and the fruit compôte. Together they take about 20 minutes to make. After that it is just combining the apple and oats and layering in a glass. The great thing about it is that you prepare this the night before and then its ready in the morning when you get up.

Ingredients 
  • 1 apple
  • 85g/ 3oz oats
  • 1 cup of milk 
  • 2 large handfuls of any kind of berries
Method
  1. Peel the apple and chop into chunks. Put the pieces into a saucepan with a dash of water and simmer until soft (8-10 minutes). Mash with fork and drain excess water.
  2. For the fruit compôte, blend the fruit with a hand blender until it is semi liquid.
  3. Mix the milk, oats and stewed apple together in a bowl.
  4. Get a sundae glass or a long glass and layer the two mixtures. 
  5. Put in fridge overnight (for 6+ hours). 
  6. Roll out of bed and grab your sundae from the fridge. Enjoy!
The great thing about this recipe is that you can change anything in it to suit you. You could use a pear instead of an apple and for the compôte you can use any fruit you wish.
 I have made a document with this recipe so you can print it out and try out making it click HERE.


This is the one I made a few days ago. I used strawberries to make the compôte. I love eating this in the morning as it keeps you full for 3-4 hours and also it tastes great.



See you,

Healthy Summer Treat Ideas

Hello everyone,

This week on The Little Chatter Boxes we're talking about summer treats. I wanted to share some healthy snack ideas to keep you cool and energized to last the rest of the summer. Enjoy! x

1. Add fruit to your water.
This isn't necessarily a recipe, but it's still a great idea to keep you cool this summer. I'm considering picking up an infuser water bottle for school. You can mix and match different flavors to suit your fancy. Check out Pinterest for some inspiration.




http://www.buzzfeed.com/melissaharrison/fruit-infused-waters#.ggwnMmd9D


2. Make frozen fruit kabobs.
Again, these can easily be customized. Freeze some of your favorite fruits. Throw some cut up apples, bananas, and kiwi on a skewer and you're good to go! Don't forget to drizzle on some chocolate if you have a sweet tooth like me!



http://www.superhealthykids.com/frozen-fruit-kabobs/

3. For those Sunday nights by the fire, while you're sharing memories munch on an oreo parfait!
I'm actually considering making these for a last minute treat this weekend! They look SO good!

A Day In The Life of Pauline

I never have a regular day anymore. When I was still in sixth form I did because a school schedule kept me pretty organised for each day. Now I sort of wing it through each day...

Anyway, a somewhat typical Friday now starts off in the late morning. I wake up any time between 8.30am and 12pm, spend some time on my phone whilst still in bed and then eventually get up and out for some food. I don't think I've ever eaten so little since the end of school. I don't snack as much or have as much during meals. But, at the same time, I am not very active and usually lounge around a lot so it doesn't really make that much of a difference. I'm not saying be lazy and don't eat; that's a terrible idea. I'm a terrible person. Don't be me.

The afternoon can go one of two ways.

The first way is that I spend the majority of the time talking to my friends on my phone, babysitting my little siblings and doing chores. Maybe I'll be out with friends. Generally, I just waste a lot of time.

The second way is that I spend the first half getting ready for work - showering, ironing my uniform, preparing my bag, doing my make up, all that stuff - and the second half I'll be on a bus and then at work, usually finishing some time in the evening.

After dinner, I do some more tidying up around the house because going to sleep with a messy house just gives everyone more stuff to deal with in the morning. I'm then either on my laptop, like I am now, watching TV shows online or I'm already in bed on Facebook, talking to my friends late into the night, mainly my boyfriend (his sleep cycle is screwed).

I pass out anytime between 1am and 4am. My sleeping pattern is just as bad...

As you can see, I lead a very interesting life!

That's all for now. Stay beautiful x

A Day In Bella's Life~ Summer Edition

Here is a sneak peak of a typical summer day of my life! 

      After waking up I typically start the day with a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy. (I'm not going to lie I often spend most of the day doing this.) Once I get out of bed I get ready for the day. 

(I was feeling some comic strip photo art)


       If I am feeling productive, I write down my activities and to do list for the day in my planner. I just got this one and it is from target. Even for those of you who are not all that organized, this is still a great way to start off your day. 



      Then I go about any activities that the day has to offer. This often includes spending time with friends, going to the movies, or taking a trip to the pool. This week I have been super busy with a dance intensive all day. I typically try to get some work done for school or my blog but that does not always happen. 


(Ahh my desk is so messy!) 

       After dinner I spend the rest of the night watching more Grey's Anatomy or blogging. I also usually shower before bed. Click here to see my full  shower routine. Before bed I try to write in my journal (although my day is often not exciting enough to write about) and I make myself some herbal tea. Before bed I really enjoy Twinings Camomile or Wild Berry herbal tea. And then comes one of my favorite parts of the day... bed.

(I'm so in love with my pajama bottoms from Old Navy) 

      There you have a typical day in my life! I know that it's not too exciting but I hope that you enjoyed it anyways! Thank you so much for reading and don't forget to check out my blog! arabella-jane.blogspot.com

A Day In Róisín's Life

Hello Fabulous Internet!
Here is a normal Wednesday in 3rd Year for me! Just to point out I did more than the subjects mentioned, I just wanted to show you what my actual Wednesday is like! I decided to do this A Day In My Life during school as now every day is completely different. 
7:15am I wake up to the generic Apple alarm, I drag myself out of bed and go downstairs to have Breakfast. Breakfast normally isn't that interesting, it would be cereal or toast. I get dressed, do my hair and makeup, sort out my school bag. 
8:10am I get on the bus to school 
8:40am I arrive at school, go to my locker , get my books organised for the first 3 classes and chat to my friends.
9:00am- 11am I have classes Geography, English and Religion. The only subject I really liked out of these three was Geography
11am-11:15am BREAK
I go to my locker and sort out my books for the next 3 classes, have a something to eat and chat to friends. 
11:15am- 1:10pm I have a double class of Music and SPHE (Health education). This set of classes was pretty chilled, I had a light bag (for once).
1:10pm- 1:55pm LUNCH 
I sort out books for the next 3 classes, eat lunch, chat with friends and go outside of it is nice or not (knowing Irish weather it could be anything outside!).
1:55pm-3:50pm I have Irish, French and Maths. I kinda dreaded these classes.
3:50pm-4:00pm I get my homework from my locker and get onto my bus. 
4:00pm-4:35pm I'm on the bus either talking to people or listening to music depends on my mood.
4:35pm-5:30pm I have dinner, get changed out of my uniform and go on the Internet.
5:30pm-8:30pm I do my homework and then study (pretty boring. I know!). I would normally take a break in between finishing my homework and starting study, in this break I would practice my guitar and piano.
8:30pm-10:15pm I go on the Internet, check my emails, read blogs, check my blog, go on YouTube watch a lot of videos.
10:15pm-10:30pm I get ready for bed, remove my makeup, wash my face, brush my teeth, brush my hair etc.
10:30pm-11:00pm I hop into bed and read a book (I'm a nerd!)
11:00pm I go to sleep and drift off to the world of my crazy imagination

See you,

A Day In Guilianna's Life

Hello everyone! x

This week members of The Little Chatter Boxes are taking you with us on a day in our lives- how exciting! My days are very much the same- working out, going to class, blogging, eating, and studying.

I typically start the morning off with writing in my journal: I record my dreams, feelings, expectations, etc.


To see a full in depth morning routine click here.

I then attend my college class. I'm the youngest in my class which is super cool, but it can be intimidating sometimes. Every now and then I don't feel comfortable sharing my opinion, but I'm getting used to it.

When I get back from class, I jump into the books right away. I want to make sure I can still have time to do something fun to do later in the evening. Right now I'm working on a five page essay.


If I find that I have some spare time, I work on my blog and this collaboration blog.

Then, obviously I have dinner. Tonight's dinner was delicious!


I'm currently in the process of learning how to drive. So my dad took my out on the road for a little bit. I'm actually getting the hang of it. I feel super confident behind the wheel.

Lastly, I spend my night watching YouTube beauty gurus, journaling, and/or browsing social media. And of course spending some time with my dog!



And there you have it; a typical day in my life. I know I'm not the most exciting person ever, but you know!

Thanks for reading,

Guilianna xoxo

Pauline's TMI Tag

1: What are you wearing?
Right now, I'm in pyjama shorts and a purple top. It's hot so I'm trying to be as cool as possible. Physically. Not figuratively. I have none of this "swag" or "cool" that others seem to have.

2: Ever been in love?
Yes, and I still am with my wonderful boyfriend. 

3: Ever had a terrible breakup?
Nah.

4: How tall are you?
About 5ft 5in.

75kgs...

No, but I want a few. Not in obvious places like my arms and legs but around my torso. They're for me to enjoy, not you.

7: Any piercings?
Just my ear lobes. 

8: OTP?
Corey and Topanga from Boy Meets World.

9: Favorite show?
Boy Meets World is my life.

10: Favorite bands?

11: Something you miss?
The time when I had two siblings not five and life was easy.

12: Favorite song?
Refer to question 10.

13: How old are you?
18 years old. I'm an adult. I can drink and drive but not at the same time.

14: Zodiac sign?
Sagittarius.
15: Quality you look for in a partner?
They have to be caring, considerate and makes you feel special. In terms of looks, all I ask for is that they care about their appearance and personal hygiene. It surprises me how many people in general don't and are even unaware of their unpleasant odours...

16: Favorite Quote?

One of the few that I loved witnessing. Corey saved Sean from joining a cult because he didn't know what he believed and it was a beautiful moment. 

17: Favorite actor?
Kit Harrington. Two reasons: He can pull off being Jon Snow very well and he's such a cool guy in general. 

18: Favorite color?
Is that even a necessary question?

Hmm.... Depends on my mood and the time of day and Radio 1.

Yes, I wash my hair really thoroughly.

22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
About an hour for work, longer for anything else.

23: Ever been in a physical fight?
Ermm....

24: Turn on?
When they look at you, making serious eye contact with that little smile that they try to stop from happening. It makes me giggle but it also shows that they're not kidding about emotions.

25: Turn off?
When they purposely make you feel insecure or self-conscious. That is a cue for me to leave.

26: The reason I joined Blogger?
Boredom. Not even kidding.

27: Fears?
Losing people that I care about. 

28: Last thing that made you cry?
Personal reasons.

29: Last time you said you loved someone?
Earlier today to my boyfriend before I went home. 

30: Meaning behind your Blog Name?
Right, get ready for this deepness.
"That" - I didn't want to be specific.
"Purple" - Favourite colour.
"Monster" - Favourite drink.

"A Dance with Dragons" by George R.R. Martin is the last book I read on my own.
"The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood is the last book I read because I had to for school.

I'm not reading one at the moment but I'd like some recommendations.

Humans on Channel 4.

My boyfriend.

Amsterdam, Rome, Paris and New York.

38: Last place you were?
My bedroom.

39: Do you have a crush?
My boyfriend.

40: Last time you kissed someone?
Earlier today. 

41: Last time you were insulted?
One of my friends called me a "silly". That is a valid insult amongst my friends.

42: Favorite flavor of sweet?
Haribo flavoured.

43: What instruments do you play?
The recorder... Thank you, primary school. I know the basics on a keyboard but that's about it.

44: Favorite piece of jewellery?
My Pandora bracelet!

45: Last sport you played?
Rugby.

46: Last song you sang?
I sang along to a cover of Bad Blood earlier.

47: Favorite chat up line?
Guys, bear in mind I'm 18 so this is allowed...
"I heard there was a sale. Clothes 100% off at house."
Hey? Heeeeeyyyy?
Yeah, that was bad. Don't use it.

48: Have you ever used it?
NO. Oh god no.

49: Last time you hung out with anyone?
With my boyfriend earlier today.

Guilianna's TMI Tag

Hello everyone! x

This week on "The Little Chatter Boxes" we'll be doing the TMI Tag. We thought it would be a great way for our readers to get to know us individually. It's just a very relaxed week; hope you enjoy it!

1. What are you wearing?
I am currently wearing sweatpants by Victoria Secret's PINK line, with fuzzy socks and an old tee. The goal here is comfort, ahaha.

2. Ever been in love?
Have I ever been in love? When it comes down to it, no. I don't think I've ever been in love.

3. Ever had a terrible breakup?
I've only had two: the fact that I'm still alive radiates positive vibes.

4. How tall are you?
I currently stand 5'4".

5. How much do you weigh?
I weigh approximately 110 pounds.

6. Any tattoos? 
No, but I think I might want one when I'm older.

I don't really have any favorite bands, but my favorite singer is Taylor Swift by a far. I also enjoy listening to Kelly Clarkson and Megan Trainor.

11. Something you miss?
I miss the optimism I grew up with. Now that I'm older I'm skeptical about everything: people, the internet, etc.

12. Favorite song?
Currently: "Lovin' So Hard" by Becky G; It tends to change every month, week... day. You know how it is.

13. How old are you?
I'm 16 years old.

14. Zodiac sign?
Scorpio

15. Quality you look for in a partner?
I made a whole post dedicated to this on my personal blog. I want someone who is true to not only me, but themselves.

16. Favorite quote?
"If you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change." -Taylor Swift

17. Favorite actor?
Mariska Hargitay

18. Favorite color?
I love the color mint green. It's definitely my favorite color, but a close second is coral.

19. Loud music or soft?
Loud. Loud. Loud.

20. Where do you go when you're sad?
Typically to my room. I immediately pull out to my journal and put on a song that represents the situation. It helps me analyze the scene a bit easier.



21. How long does it take you to shower?
It depends. If I'm going somewhere it can take ten minutes. If I have the day to myself, I take a bath that lasts at least one hour, two hours top.

22. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Again, it depends. It can take me a total of twenty minutes or an hour and a half. It just depends on where I'm going.

23. Ever been in a physical fight?
No, and to be quite honest I hope I never am.

24. Turn on?
When a guy asks you on a real date in person. This shows that he's confident and he's chivalrous.

25. Turn off?
When boys only care about sex appeal. I can't stand that.

26. The reason I joined Blogger?
I joined Blogger because I wanted a place where I could express my thoughts to the world.

27. Fears?
I have an irrational fear of spiders and other creepy things that crawl. I also have a fear of failing.

28. Last thing that made you cry?
Yesterday! I took my Otter Box case off of my iPhone 6 to dry it since it was raining... No later did I drop my phone on the cement. It shattered. Completely. I'm getting it fixed on Wednesday.

29. Last time you said you loved someone?
This morning to my sister.

30. Meaning behind your blog name?
My blog is called "Guilianna Marie". It's my name. That's it. I apologize for the lack of creativity.

36. Favorite food?
I have to be honest: pizza.

37. Place you want to visit?
This is my biggest dream: Paris, France. I want to see the Eiffel Tower so bad. Seeing pictures online is incomparable to the rush you get when you're actually there.

38. Last place you were?
In my house: my living room. I was listening to some music with my dog.
Vacation: Florida

39. Do you have a crush?
Don't we all? My crush just happens to be a guy that goes to my school, but I am NOT going to date him. When I date people I just mess up our relationship as a whole.

February- my last boyfriend was the last time I kissed someone. No worries though, a summer romance is going to frolic into the air very soon!

41. Last time you were insulted?

47. Favorite chat up line?
I don't really have a specific favorite pickup line, but I do laugh at anything cheesy.
