2016 In Instagrams

1:21 PM / BY May
2016 has left to be desired. Worldwide? It's been fairly shit. Personally? Only averagely shit. On a whole - well, I'd like to move to the moon after the whole ordeal. Despite that, I have had some rather nice times, some of which I captured on camera and decided to upload it on the internet, and now I'm showing you lot my favourite bits. Fun times. Let's get on with it, shall we? Top left...

Winter Make-Up Menu

10:39 PM / BY May
Well this post is horrendously late, isn't it! Me? Useless at doing anything on time? Lies! I feel like I've rediscovered make-up recently and I finally enjoy putting make-up on, and it's a lot less of a burden than it has been in the past. Base I've decided to give up on foundation. Dun dun duuun. This decision was made when I did put foundation on and realised that it doesn't suit me, really. It...

A Last Minute Gift Guide For The Broke And Desperate

5:31 PM / BY May
I blame you lot for this post. THIS IS YOUR FAULT, DON'T START JUDGING ME! How's the build-up to Christmas going for you lot? Personally for me it's going pretty smoothly, but I know that's not the case for everyone.  I worked in a salon for 3 weeks and almost everyone when asked admitted they were nowhere near ready for Christmas. With that in mind, I thought I'd do a realistic gift guide for people...

Blogging Tips: PR Tips And Working With Brands

5:04 PM / BY May
One of the perks of blogging is getting to work with brands and get free samples and being able to give your readers a code of some kind so they can benefit, too... But that doesn't come right away. One thing some people think is that almost as soon as you start your blog, brands are going to be flooding in asking you to be the face of this campaign, to try out that new...

Avoiding Switching Off

9:29 PM / BY May
This is being written from a very precarious position, I've just painted my nails and I'm terrified off chipping this. I want everyone here to know what this post was born out of procrastination. But not the usual kind where you're avoiding doing a job you need to do, no, I'm procrastinating from relaxing. I'm having a really relaxed Sunday, Mama and I went out for lunch, and I've been on the sofa doing little...

November Favourites

2:03 PM / BY May
I'd love to have an intro right now, really love it, however, I do not, so let's just do this. Marks and Spencers Frankincense & Myrrh Candle This is possibly my ultimate Christmas candle. It just smells so amazing and every Christmas Mama orders it from Marks and Spencers and lasts next to no time because we just light it constantly! I don't even know what gets me about it so much about it but...

3 Podcasts For People With Short Attention Spans

2:29 PM / BY May
My lack of an attention span is something I entirely blame on the internet. I mean, I have a short attention span to begin with, but I'm pretty sure the internet did not help even slightly. Because of this, it makes things like watching films and doing things that mean where I need to focus for longer. Saying this, I have found a couple of podcasts that managed to withhold my attention, and I wanted...

Cup Of Tea and A Catch Up #6

4:55 PM / BY May
It's a glorious Sunday as I'm writing this. I have The Michalaks' latest vlog in the corner, my lunch was amazing and fairly healthy too, and I'm now drinking coke from a coffee cup because why not. I've been thinking a lot recently and I didn't want to make some big convoluted post about it so I figured I'd do a Cup Of Tea and A Catch Up and talk about it here. On my...

Blogging Tips: How To Make The Media Kit Of Your Dreams

3:02 PM / BY May
Today I am going to be sharing my knowledge once again with you guys. Media kits are funny things that are actually quite difficult to do without some sort of guide. It's doable, just it's easier with some sort of template. But what is a media kit? I hear you ask. A media kit is a pdf document that you can send to brands that tells them everything they need to know about you and...

September/October Favourites | Matti May Hardie

8:18 PM / BY May
I don't actually have that many beauty related favourites this month, simple because I don't have the will to put on any make-up whilst at school. Memrise I heard about this from Eve Bennett's video, and it intrigued me because as you guys probably all know by now, I am trying to learn Korean. I've been trying and trying and looking for different websites and apps and they've all been okay but not quite what...

Get Ready With Me: Halloween Edition | Matti May Hardie

9:35 PM / BY May
Hey all, how's you? Happy Halloween! Well, I mean, almost. I always struggle finding a halloween costume (especially this year - why did I cut all my hair off?!), and this year I had no choice seeing as me and my friends are having a party. I racked my brains and decided to go with Chucky. I then decided that I my dignity wouldn't allow me to be Chucky, so I went with Mathilda from...

The TMI Tag #4 | Matti May Hardie

1:24 PM / BY May
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Hey all, how's you? I'm a clever child... A clever child who has been thrown out of whack because I finished school on a Wednesday instead of a Friday, so forgot that yesterday was upload day.  I think this is something I'm going to do once a year, so that way I could look back on and see how I've changed. This is also totally a filler post because I've...
