Summer Listings


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

You know how much I love a list? Well I'm at it again. A couple of months ago in THIS post I talked about things we have on this Summer and with July speeding past in the blink of an eye, I thought I'd update you and future plan. Mmmm it's like blog therapy to me!


June

June was so intense I felt like my feet barely touched the ground. 



Watching 1D perform live, performing live ourselves on stage in NYC and attending Vidcon were all highlights. 

Homey bits that melted my heart were celebrating Father's Day and watching Baby Glitter give all her love to her Dada and taking her to her first ever kiddie birthday party. Any parties we've ever had have been very family orientated so to see her running about with playgroup pals and having such a great time was lovely. There are a few shots of it in the video embedded below. 



July

So far, July has been luxuriously relaxed. We got back from LA just under 2 weeks ago, Zoe and I hosted an event at the Warner Brother's Studios (which. was. amazing. HERE is the vlog) and I've spent the rest dividing my time between London, friends and family. Ideal. 


Another joy this month has been kittens. Kittens. KITTENS. I wrote THIS blog post about them and uploaded THIS featuring the little fluffballs. Ooof I love them so. 

Something else I've enjoyed a lot this summer has been shopping. I've always been a bit of a magpie for lovely things but this Summer I've caught the bug bad. In an effort to shop with slightly less guilt I've signed up to topcashback.co.uk which is a site full of great discounts and money saving opportunities (just gonna throw this out there- they have Mothercare and Superdrug on there-yay!!). Topcashback have kindly said that if you are a reader and you use THIS link to sign up too, you'll be gifted with a free Soap &  Glory Lid Stuff product. I actually already own this so can fully vouch for it being a little gem to have in your makeup bag. Besides, who doesn't love a freebie? Thank youuuuu!


August

August is set to be blissful (touch wood). The only things properly booked in my calendar are Summer In The City, a music festival for Matt (I'm not the wellies and tents type) and a couple of family/neighbourhood parties. 

With Matt off for the Summer Holidays we are toying with the idea of vlogging every day that month. I say 'toying' because I've never successfully stuck to an entire month. Remember the fail that was Vlogmas 2013? Haha. Would you like to see a month of our summer? There is a big part of me that fancies the challenge but a little part of me that's afraid of failure.

Also this month are family birthdays, lots of stationery shopping for my annual Stationery Haul video and helping my little sister pack for university- I swear she was only a toddler five minutes ago. 

And there we have it. My summer. I would be really interested to hear what you have planned, whether you have grabbed your topcashback freebie and whether you'd be interested in some daily vlogging next month!

Toodlepip!

  4. My summer doesn't properly start for another month or two as I'm going on holiday to Florida which I cannot wait for! :D I feel then I'll properly be able to get into the summer mood, albeit a month or so later than everyone else. Hehe.
    Until then I'll be saving spending money and also making sure to stock up on all the holiday essentials.
    I'd absolutely love to see a month of your summer through your daily vlogging! :) Your vlogs are my absolute favourite to watch!

  6. Sounds like you've had such an amazing summer so far! I'm going to see Matilda and I've got a summer wedding to go to! My dad had the last week of August off so were going to have some family days out and maybe a short break away, who knows? ❤

  7. Also I like to add, I'd love for you to vlog daily, your vlogs are the best Louise! ❤

  8. I know that you will obviously have consulted Matt, but is vlogging every single day really what you want to do? If it is then excellent, can't wait, but if you'd like to spend some time relaxing without the camera and with your loved ones, please don't feel under pressure to film anyway.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Completely agree! Why doesn't Louise just film the highlights of her day, mash all the footage together from 5 or so days, and make 1 video with the best bits of the past few days or so? Then she's not glued to her camera. xxxx

  16. Daily vlogging all of August, Yes please! Or do weekly vlogging! And I agree that Matt should make another appearance as a guest vlogger (he did a fab job!) x

    ReplyDelete
  17. I love the fact that you've gotten kittens.. it means I'll love seeing your posts even more :D
    Being busy is a sign of a healthy life in many ways - shows you have a good social balance, are not lazy and have work to do! But of course you need to rest too :P
    Darcy is looking at cute as ever with the kitten!

  18. I have such a busy summer first going camping on friday in Bristol, then doing NCS for 3 weeks which is going to be amazing. Then I have results day and induction for sixth form which I am so nervous but excited for.

    I would love you to vlog your summer, but because you find it hard one each day, maybe do one a week or every two days but with little bits from each day.

    Could you also post a video of the kittens playing with Darcy because the pictures are so cute xx

  22. Definitely worth pausing my media homework for this, oh my glob baby glitter is just the cutest thing.

    I don't know what to feel about you daily vlogging, part of me is like Yesssss pwease and the other's like Noooo it's just going to make me want to vlog myself, which I can't because my parents are absolutely not up for to idea of me making Youtube videos.

  36. Sounds like you're a busy bee! Summer this year consists souly of work, work and more work! I have one week off in August where I'll be cramming as many summer themed activities in as is physically possible, and then its back to work again!
    Definitely do vlog daily in August! It'll give me some entertainment on my quiet days in the office! xx

  38. Would love for you to daily vlog, but maybe just explain that its going to be a challenge so that sprinklerinos are understanding if it goes wrong, either way its a nice thought! love always x

  49. I would love to see a month of vlogs from you, but don't do it if it's too much! Your top priority this summer should be to enjoy yourself, especially after being so busy. Maybe something like putting up a weekly vlog would work better?

  54. (I tried posting just a moment ago, so sorry if this double posts!)

    What about doing a WEEKLY vlog? Film bits throughout the week prior and pop it up on Monday, Wednesday, whatever day suits! You can have the freedom to simply not vlog on the days that, quite frankly, are crap and your not up to it. But if you have one super special day, film away!!

    There are some lovely once-weekly vloggers out there - Hannah Mags and ViviannaDoesMakeup come to mind (OMG, I just loooove Anna's vlogs...I don't know what it is, but they just are lovely every single week to me!). I think perhaps this could address your apprehension at true daily vlogging, but still taking on the challenge (to film a bit each day), and providing your viewers/community with the experience as you wish!

    Sending big love from across the pond!

Unfortunately my summer has just been work, work, work so far so I'm enjoying living through other people's fun summers haha.

    Also, regarding TopCashBack - how long have you used it and is it any good because I signed up with them a few months ago and they were totally crappola! :/
