As the first day of Autumn is approaching we are getting ready for everything the season has to offer, we are stocking up on cozy sweaters, our favourite fall candles, drinks and more!!! We decided that we wanted to share our favourite autumn essentials with you by doing the Sweater Weather TAG! Under each question will be both of out answers. What is your favourite fall candle scent? Cali: My favourite fall candle scent is "Autumn" by Bath and Body Works.- this candle smells so good and it makes my bedroom smell amazing without even needing to light it!!! Ciara: My favourite fall candle scent is "Sweater Weather" by Bath and Body Works. I love this scent so much!!! It's so crisp and refreshing. It smells like fall wrapped up in one candle!!!!! Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate? Cali: My favourite Autumn drink is tea- Birthday Cake Tea!!!!! You can buy this tea at David's Tea and it is the sweetest, most delicious tea ever. It is the perfect thing to drink when you are cuddling up to read on a rainy fall day! Ciara: Hot chocolate. Its not even a question! XD I think that hot chocolate is like a signature fall drink so whenever I am drinking hot chocolate I am like " ahhh fall." Lol my favourite hot chocolate is the Starbucks dark chocolate hot cocoa. I love to drink it when its a cold fall day and I am sitting in my cozy reading socks. Do you switch up your make-up routine for the season? Cali: Yes, I change it slightly for every season. For me fall means warmer and darker colours. I usually wear thicker liquid eyeliner and darker lipstick to set the mood of Autumn. Ciara: I change my make up routine slightly but not very much. Like Cali, I like to wear a lot of darker colours in the fall season because I think that fall is all about those deep tones. I like to wear a darker eyeshadow and make my eyeliner wing thicker I also wear dark and deep lip colours. Hats or Scarves? Cali: I much prefer scarves. I don't usually wear hats in the fall. I love to wear infinity scarves when the gets colder because they are so cozy and comfy. Ciara: I love wearing scarves in the fall, I prefer saving hats for winter :) I love wearing circle or infinity scarves because they just make me feel so Tumblr when I am wearing my cute infinity scarf stepping on crunchy leaves. Most worn sweater? Cali: My most worn sweater this year is my new favourite sweater that I got from Garage last month.It is an oversized grey sweater with hints of cream that make me feel so Tumblr when I pair it with leggings, roots socks and combat boots. Ciara: My most worn sweater is my sweater that I got in Primark. Shout out to all my British Babes who know the store Primark!!!! It is a black and white knit cardigan/sweater that I bought when I was back over in England and it is so cozy!!! It is fleece and wool and I love it!!!!! Must have fall nail polish?
Cali: My favourite nail polish this Autumn is the Mister Pookies shade by Aila. I first got this shade in my August ipsy bag but I just thought that a dark tones would look really nice in fall;) Ciara: My favourite nail polish for fall is the Maybelline colour show nail polish in the shade Keep up the Flame. I got this colour a while ago and have used it so many times already because its such a gorgeous red!!!!!! Football games or Jumping in a pile of leaves? Cali: I love both- I love to jump in piles of leaves and see all the colours blur around me. But on the other hand I love to watch football games with my family on TV or go an support my school football team at their local games. Ciara: We don't watch sports in my house XD I love jumping in leaves and seeing all the red and the orange swirl around me. I just think it's not fall until you have gone leaf pile jumping. Leggings or Skinny Jeans? Cali: I personally prefer to wear leggings in the fall with cozy oversized sweaters but for fancier events I like to wear skinny jeans with a more fitted sweater. Ciara: I prefer to wear leggings with a pair of fuzzy socks and knee high boots. Boots or UGGS? Cali: I love to wear boots in the fall- especially combat boots. To me they just scream autumn!!!! These are the boots you wear when you want to take Tumblr photos in the colourful autumn leaves. Ciara: I prefer boots. I love combat boots, knee highs and ankle boots/wedges. I have so many pairs of boots to wear its ridiculous but I just LOOOOVE boots in the fall. What is your number one favourite thing about fall? Cali:I don't think it's possible to pick just one single thing. Autumn couldn't be Autumn with only one thing. But some things that I love about autumn that I can think of off the top of my head are: - Pumpkin Picking - Stepping on Crunchy Leaves - Cozy Sweaters - Apple Crisp - Fuzzy Socks And that is only the beginning of all the things that I love about Autumn, Ciara: You can't name just one thing you love about fall so here are a few of my favourites; - Stepping on crunchy leaves - Hot chocolate - rainy days - Fall scented candles - Sweater Weather - Carving pumpkins - Fuzzy Socks - How the leaves change colour - Cuddling by the fire Do you have a song that gets you in the fall mood- or even just a song that you have been loving right now? Cali:I don't really have one specific song but I really like listening to slower songs that I can cozy up to the fire and read good book while listening to or even just sound effects that sound like a crackling fire or crunching leaves I find really set the mood.though. When it comes closer to Halloween I like to listen to Thriller by Michael Jackson and theme songs from scary halloween movies. Ciara: Like Cali I don't really have a favourite fall song but I like listening to slow songs because I don't know I think that they are easy to listen to when you a reading a book by the fire in cozy socks. I like listening to Ellie Goulding, Taylor Swift, and One Direction in the fall because they have a lot of really good slow songs. What is the current fall weather like where you live? Cali and Ciara: Where we live, the fall weather is approximately 10 degrees celicius around this time of year. And there is often a cool breeze in the air. This makes Autumn the perfect time to were fuzzy socks, infinity scarves and cozy oversized sweaters! We nominate Lily D'Orazio to do this TAG on her youtube channel. And we also nominate Faith and Mae from Luv the Little Things blog and Gabby from Teenage Dreams blog. We hope you really liked this post and it got you in the cozy fall mood.

Hey Guys, how was your first week of school!!!! After being back into the whole school routine we decided to share some tricks with you! 1. One of the most important tips we have for back to school is staying caught up and keeping up with all your homework- this is easier said than done but it can be really easy to do if you have an agenda or a planner to write everything down in. We also know that it isn't always possible to bring an agenda every where with you, so what I do instead is write my homework on a sticky note and stick it on my notebook or binder so when I bring it home the homework is write on top of the subject- I found this has really helped me:) 2. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! This is one of the only ways you can truly enjoy school, not get in trouble, stay caught up and pass your class!!! Wether you are on your lunch break, or you just got home from school, try and do your homework as soon as you can and don't leave it until the last minute. Also, always put your best effort into everything you do!!!
3. Have a Morning binder and an Afternoon binder, that way you don't have to worry about going to your locker in between classes. This works best if you have two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. 4. On a non-academic note, make sure to make the most of your school experience by joining clubs, by doing this you will meet so many new people that share the same interests and passions as you, it is a great way to make new friends! 5. When doing research for a project use Google Scholar instead of Google, this will find you more relevant information, faster! 6.Find out what kind of learner you are, this is really important because you will really understand things better and learn things faster if you can learn in a way that suits you best! Below we have listed ways that different kinds of learners learn:) Auditory: Read your notes aloud to yourself Explain a lesson to yourself aloud using your own words If you can, record the lesson or lecture (with permission from your teacher) so that you can listen to it afterwards when studying Visual: Use power points presentations, charts, graphs, pictures or even videos to help you study Write down your notes and re read them over and over again in your head Highlight, underline or circle important things when reading so they are bright visual cues for you to look at while studying or reviewing your notes. Make flash cards Kinaesthetic: Study with a buddy Doodle while taking notes or studying Use examples when taking notes Create something such as a model or a physical project to help you study 7. If you have a question, ask it, there is no such thing as a silly question. You learn by making mistakes and asking questions, your teacher is there to teach you and foster your learning, don't be afraid to ask them any questions you may have. 8. Make sure to eat healthy foods that fuel your brain and give you energy so that you can pay attention in class and not fall asleep:P 9. Don't stress to much!!! If you miss one due date, or forget to do your homework one time it is not the end of the world, chances are you won't fail your course. Just try not to do it repeatedly. 10. Enjoy your school experience, it doesn't last forever,Its only a small part of your life!!! Put your full effort into it, make friends, join clubs, don't stress, have fun this is the biggest tip we have for you. Hopefully some of these tips can help you out through out school. xoxo C&C Hey Guys how's it going!!!!! When its back to school its hard to find time to eat but it is so important that you don't get hungry- you need to have brainpower to stay focused in class!!!! We decided to make three healthy snacks that are super delicious- one is for before school, one is for during school and one is for after school. The first idea is a really easy breakfast that you can make the night before so you can grab it on your way out the door if your running late. All you will need is: ~ Popsicle sticks (we used coloured ones...but we don't suggest doing that unless they're non toxic because the dye could rub off into the yogurt) ~ Paper Cups ~ Yogurt- we used vanilla:) We added strawberries to make them healthier:) Since we added the strawberries we thought it would be okay to add a few sprinkles on top ;D So all you need to do is take the paper cups and fill them with yogurt, then add any toppings you want and stick in the popsicle sticks. Put them in the freezer and they will be ready for you the next morning!!! The next snack is a great snack to bring to eat at school. All you need for this is: ~ Cheerios ~ Marshmallows For this simple but healthy snack all you need to do is pour your cheerios and marshmallows into a bowl, then stick in the microwave for about 30 seconds (make sure you are using a microwave safe bowl). Then mix together until the marshmallow looks stringy between the cheerios;) Last but not least you want to press your marshmallow mixture into a rectangular tray type thing and I topped mine with sprinkles. Then you can cut them into a bar shape and throw them in a zip lock bag to take to school with you!!! The last healthy snack is this delicious trail mix!! This makes a great after school snack. For this all you need is ~ M&M's ~ Dried Banana Slices ~ Granola ~ Walnuts (you can add any nuts you want) ~ Sunflower seeds You can add anything you want but those are just the ingredients that I added to mine:) Some other options are chocolate chips, coconut etc. So all you want to do is pour all you ingredients in a bowl .... and thats it!!! It's super simple! We hope that you like these ideas and if you find them convenient for back to school let us know in the comments!!!
