Autumn

Hi everyone!!
Today I'm going to write about my favourite parts of the new season, autumn!!
I think autumn is one of the best seasons, especially in England. The weather doesn't always differ too much from summer (!!) but everyone expects it and don't grumble like in summer! There is also a slight feeling of excitement in the air, with Christmas coming closer, with Bonfire night and Halloween to keep us happy on the way!
There are also the little things we appreciate, like...
Going on walks through the crunchy leaves in woods!! It sounds really cheesy, but it's so fun!
Putting on big wooly jumpers and coats!!
Being creative! I always feel like being really creative in Autumn for birthdays and stuff!!
Running. It always seems so much more appealing when it's cooler!

There are a few more, but I'll leave with these for now and maybe put some more in another time. Feel free to tell me your favourites bit about Autumn!!
Bye, and happy Autumn!!!xox

August favourites!!

Hi everyone!!
Today I thought I'd share with you some of the products I've been loving in August. There aren't loads because to be honest I can't remember half of August! That sounds really bad but it feels like I've had lots of little chunks!!
First up is the Ren hydra-calm global protection day cream, which I got as a sample. This has a slightly weird scent, which I can't quite place as it's all natural. This has honestly been a godsend after my holiday in the south of France, in which my skin got so dry and horrible from swimming everyday.
Next is the l'occitane verbena shampoo. Again this is just a sample I was using up, but it smells amazing. Really lemony and gorgeous. It also cleans well and the only downside I can think of is that the packaging can be quite hard to get product out of when you're near the end.
I've also loving the figs and rouge pomegranate lip balm. I got this for my birthday and pomegranates are my favourite fruit so you can't really go wrong! It's also really moisturising and I'll do a review on it soon!
I've also been loving the Simple kind to eyes eye makeup removing pads. I have a review here.
The La Roche posay thermal spring water was also a godsend on boiling hot days. I know it's only water but still- aah!
Clothing wise there is one item I wore continually on holiday. I was hoping to do an OOTD with it but unfortunately just didn't get the chance. I got this from new look in the sale in July for about twelve pounds and its not only really pretty colours but also so multifunctional. I wore it out in the evening, in the day, over a bikini... I love it.
My favourite song of the month has been good time by owl city and carly ray Jepson, which I've been listening to again and again on YouTube.
And my last two favourites are Company magazine and Sweetcorn!! I've just been loving both of them!
So hope you've enjoyed this and have a good September!!
Bye!!xxx

Orchid Organization: School supplies haul!

Hi everyone!!
Today I have an orchid organization post for you, as you will have seen from the title!! I went shopping today to buy a few school things, and thought I'd show you what I got. There's not a huge amount, as I have a few things from last year, and do bear in mind that I'm in secondary school, not at gcse level yet, so I don't have to supply my own folders or notebooks etc. And I bought all these things from WHSmith. You can most likely get them in other places too, but that's where I went.
First up is a pair of scissors. Very exciting I know, but there we go. These are the Maped 3D sensoft ones, and I like them because they're squidgy and fun to play with. I have a messed up brain. So..... Yeah and they're also pretty colours and were 35% off!
Next was a set of Laura Ashley blue biros. I like writing with biro, as you don't need to buy cartridges and pretty much everyone has one so if you need to borrow one it won't make your book untidy. However, it's sometimes hard to find pretty ones so when I saw these I was really pleased! Another pen similar is one from Jan Constantine (the LOVE bit), which I had last year. Kind of expensive though. The Laura Ashley ones were £4.
Next up is a sharpener. Pretty self-explanatory. £1.49.
Then I got a ruler. It's one of those cool ones that fold out, and they break much less than the foldy out ones. So yeah. That was £2.79.
And finally is a red fineliner pen from Stabelo for marking, which was £1.99. Blimey, that was a rip off!
So that's it folks. I didn't buy a pencil case as I got one for my birthday and might do a birthday haul?????? Yeah, and I also got a 15% off Debenhams voucher.
So I hope you've enjoyed this post everyone, and remember to look out for more #orchidorganization posts. Bye!!

Orchid Organization: An Introduction!

Hi everyone!
As the start of the new school is coming soon (R.I.P holidays!!) I thought I would start a series of posts. I've given them a very cheesy name and a very cheesy picture, but basically I'll do any posts that are school-related. If you have any requests please tweet me (@fuchsiaforest) or comment below. The ones I have planned are as follows...
What's in my bag!
What's in my pencil case!
School supplies haul!
My planner!
My essentials!
And maybe a guide on how to keep your schoolwork organized at home!

So I hope those sound good to start off with. I might do some a bit later on in the year when I have exams, but I'll see! And I'll try to do them all this week, as different schools go back on different dates, but I have a pretty manic week planned, so fingers crossed!!
Bye!!xx
Remember to tell me what videos you'd like to see! #orchidorganization

Rose Review: Simple kind to eyes eye makeup remover pads

Hi everyone!! Today I am going to review some eye makeup remover pads!
I tend to use makeup wipes on my eyes as I only wear mascara, and don't think I really need much else. I think that wipes are perfect for people like me, or for those times when you really can't be bothered to cleanse. There are, however, a lot of very expensive and very cheap ones out there to choose from and I'd really recommend these.
It's hard to go into these in too much depth, as they are only wipes, after all! However what sells them for me are two things: one, that they are textures on one side to really get the product off, and two, that they come in q mini version. I really don't get why lots of brands choose not to do smaller versions of products because they are not only great for travelling, but these ones in particular are also great because you really don't need a huge normal-sized wipe for just mascara. Phew, long sentance! They claim to remove waterproof mascara, and I think they do, but it does take a bit if rubbing so if you have sensitive eyes it may be better to use a normal remover.
So I hope you've enjoyed this review! Feel free to comment if you have any other suggestions, and I have lots more reviews planned so look out for those! Bye!!!xx

Chit chat

Hi everyone!
Just a short post today to tell you that I am going on holiday on Saturday morning for two weeks! I'm going to the south of France, which I'm really excited about (SUN!!!) but this post is really to tell you about the absense of posts. I had hoped to schedule a few posts, as I have lots planned and thought it was the perfect time. However, my phone broke on Monday, as did our computer before that. This means that we only have one laptop in our whole house for all my family. My mum has been working on this most of the time, which means I havn't- and probably won't- been able to write any posts. I have 5 minutes now to do this post quickly, but I'm afraid I doubt I'll get any longer. I'm so upset and sorry about this, and I can't even tweet either!! (Due to my phone being... well kaput.) I'vwe even written out posts on paper, so as to be able to post them immedieately if I have half an hour! But I can't when I only have 10 minutes as I need to upload pictures as well. I never knew I depended on my phone so much!
So I hope you all have great holidays, and yet again, sorry!!!
Bye!!!xx
(P.S. I'll have lots of posts when I come back from my holiday- I promise!!!)
