Amazing Advertisers | August 2014

Aloha Sprinklerinos, 

I hope you've all had a fabulous August and have made the most of the final weeks before Autumn is upon us and the school year begins again. I'm a huge lover of Autumn and all it's cosiness so I'm actually rather excited to welcome September with slightly chilly arms! However before we wish away the end of the month we need to first have a look through the Amazing Advertisers and appreciate all their hard blogging word, alrighty let's go!

Alycia Grayce is the beauty and the brains behind Crowley Party, a lifestyle blog which I assure will give you all the warm and fuzzies. It is beautifully written, clearly well loved and quite frankly a joy to read. This month I have particularly loved reading Alycia Grayce’s personal posts about family, she’s shared a touching tribute to both her sister and her husband which have made me feel ever so slightly gooey with love. If it’s a pep in your step you’re after, a window into someone else’s adventures or just a genuinely lovely blog to have a read through then Crowley Party is your gal.

Emily Lovess is a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog written by Emily, a firm favourite in my books for rocking the Sandy D look. If anyone can pull off vibrant red curls, disco pants and an off the shoulder leather jacket, it’s Emily. It’s full of attitude and I love it! As well as oozing some sexiness this month Emily has also blogged about her Robin Hood adventures, favourite beauty bits and also shared a tasty yet healthy smoothie recipe, she’s done it all that gal! I’m excited to see future posts from Emily, she’s a keeper in the blogging books!

Charlotte’s Web is a little space of the web every gal should read, as Charlotte is primarily a lifestyle blogger, often sharing her thoughts and feelings on all things love, heartache and boys. I’m a lover of bloggers who share personal musings and thoughts with the blogging community, it makes you feel like you’ve got another friend out there which is just lovely and Charlotte is no exception. This month Charlotte shared her thoughts on break ups and the first ‘I love you’, Adele and Kit Kat overload included. Go on, have a gander and fall in love.

I like Jessica, she’s a nice gal in my books and this month her blog has been a happy addition to my blog reading list. Jessica is a lifestyle blogger who shares her thoughts on travel, weight loss and home interior which happens to be right up my street (a lover of Pinterest is a friend of mine.) This month Jessica shared pictures of her recent adventure to Paris with macaroons, chocolate cake and all the touristy bits included as well as her thoughts on being a curvy gal in this world who happens to have a love of carbs, me too Jessica, me too. If you too love carbs, blogging and nice gals then give Jessica Casillas a cheeky read.

EyeZedZedWhy is a lifestyle blog written by Izzy, lover of adventure and activity enthusiast. This summer Izzy has decided to set herself the challenge of doing something adventurous every day for 30 days in order to make her summer a good’un. Izzy has shared her progress through EyeZedZedWhy and so far she’s storming through those activities! From bowling to crazy golf, baking to a day without internet, she’s doing it all. If you’d like to check in on Izzy and her challenge, or even join in yourself then go and have a gander, go on!

A Midnight in Wonderland is an online boutique selling all of the pretties you could possibly imagine, and it's all affordable too! This month I've had my eye on a few of  the blouses, you can never own to many floaty, floral shirts after all! The jewellery is also something of which makes my eyeballs sparkle, it's unique and frankly, quite fabulous! If you're in need of an affordable wardrobe or jewellery box addition A Midnight in Wonderland is worth having a browse of.

Anna in Wonderland is a blog I discovered a few months ago when Anna first began advertising with Sprinkle of Glitter and I’ve been a fan of it ever since. Anna’s area of blogging expertise is definitely her ability to teach us a thing or two about history which I personally love, it’s something a little bit different and I believe you’re never too old to learn! This month Anna has shared a variety of posts which demonstrate her vast knowledge and writing expertise, from exciting information about her soon to be published novel, how exciting! Well done Anna.  

If you’ve been a reader of Sprinkle of Glitter for a while now then you’ll know I have a soft spot for Life is Worth the Fight, it’s a beautiful blog written by a beautiful gal who deserves all the praise and Millie’s cookies in the world for being such a good’un! If you don’t already know Stacie suffers with a long term illness which she often blogs about and is a continuous inspiration to us all. This month I have been pleased as punch to see Stacie is now vlogging, it’s a joy to see her personality in life form after months of being a lover of her blog. If you don’t already follow Stacie, I certainly recommend you do, she’s a good egg. 

April advertised with Sprinkle of Glitter last month and her blog Beautiface was certainly a treat for the eyes, I’m particularly a lover of the spectacular photography and attention to detail. This month April’s posts have been exceptionally informative, well written and brimming with all the loveliness you could possibly want from a good ol’ beauty blog including a fair few reviews, blogger insight and even financial advice for those of us affected by the love of all things beauty. What more could you possibly want? 

Ahh Tom, an old faithful advertiser with Sprinkle of Glitter and a good ol' blogger too. Tom has advertised many times in the past and each month his lifestyle blog has always been an exciting read with good quality posts, professional photos of plentiful amounts and adventures which you can't help but continue to follow. Tom definitely has a talent for lifestyle blogging and it is lovely to see how far he and Daydream in Blue have come since he first joined the Sprinklerinos all those moons ago!  

Diana is a fashion blogger with a wardrobe filled with the most beautiful clothes you ever did see, what's more Diana shares all her beautiful pieces with the world on both her blog and Instagram account where she continues to be a popular fashionista. If it's inspiration you're after, or just appreciate a beautiful gal and wonderful photography then LA by Diana is definitely the fashion blog for you. This month on her blog Diana has shared a variety of posts from beachy fashion, to casual jeans and even an anti ageing smoothie recipe! Yes please!!

A blog that warms my heart, Bump to Baby is written by mummy blogger Alex who talks about all things toddlers, parenting and pregnancy, definitely a blog for those of you with a bun in the oven or a little family of your own. This month Bump to Baby has been brimming with helpful parenting advice from activities, to preventing pregnancy symptoms and even a discussion on after school activities which was a very interesting read as a mama of a not yet school age baby with schooling to consider. I thoroughly recommend Bump to Baby as the perfect parenting and lifestyle blog, babies and heart melting photos included! 

We've had a great bunch of Amazing Advertisers for August, I'm always pleased to discover new bloggers with a passion for writing, I hope you've found a couple of additional blogging loves too this month!

Toodlepip!

Amazing Advertisers | July 2014

Aloha Sprinklerinos! 

I feel I should be blogging at you from the comfort of a very cold paddling pool given the weather we've been having in England at the moment. Whilst I'm a lover of the summer BBQ's and garden play, I'm not a fan of melting I must say. In spite of my love/hate relationship with said weather I must push through though ready for another month of Amazing Advertisers and the glorious posts they have to offer us, so let's crack on, you're in for a treat!

Black & White Boutique is an online store of fashion galore and I for one am loving their choice of clothing and accessories. The dresses are girly galore and there is definitely a style for everyone whether you're a fan of the floaty pink picnic dress, or a more nautical casual day look. All the items are very reasonably priced and very beautiful indeed! I am quite the fan of unique jewellery pieces and Black & White Boutique does not disappoint I can tell ya. If you're in need of a gift for a friend, or just fancy treating yourself to a giraffe ring or two, then Black & White Boutique is the one for you. 

Crowley Party is a lifestlye blog written by American beauty Alycia Grayce who's vibrancy and love of life makes her a joy to follow and her blog a very fun place indeed. Alycia Grayce often blogs about her ventures with family and friends and this month has been no exception as she has been travelling up a storm in Thailand. I have loved gandering through Alycia Grace's snaps of the gorgeous elephants and tigers she has met on her travels, they're simply beautiful and once more I have come down with a case of the warm and fuzzies. Go on have a gallivant, there's cute, cuddly tigers after all! 

A Scottish Lass is a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog written by Scottish beauty Laura. This month Laura has been a busy bee writing about all things beauty for us, including a cheeky haul or two. As well as lusting over Laura’s recently purchased beauty bits I also enjoyed reading about her struggles with anxiety and panic attacks, it was a well written, inspiring post, not to mention helpful and informative for those of you who may also struggle too. If you’re a lover of cosmetics, rambles and a review or two, Laura is your gal!

Stacie has returned once more to Sprinkle of Glitter and I am pleased as punch. I’ve said it before and I’d happily say it again, Stacie is an inspiration and her blog is one of my favourites. Life is Worth the Fight is a lifestyle blog in which Stacie shares her life triumphs and struggles whilst living with a long term illness. It is impossible to have a gander of Stacie’s blog and not feel in admiration. I’ll always encourage a read of Life is Worth the Fight, you won’t regret it!

Anna in Wonderland advertised with Sprinkle of Glitter last month and I thoroughly enjoyed having a read through her posts, they’re filled with adventure and variety which is always a love of mine in a lifestyle blog. This month has been no exception, Anna has once more been on her travels and has given us another insightful history lesson along the way, which I’m a huge fan of! Anna in Wonderland is a blog of discovery and I’m looking forward to following along on Anna’s next adventure. If you’re a lover of lifestyle and history then Anna in Wonderland is for you.

Beautiface is a beauty blog written by the lovely April, a lover of makeup and a girl after my own heart. Beautiface is pleasing on the eyes, it is well written and the photography is divine. April’s passion for blogging and beauty is a joy to see and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having a gallivant through her reviews and tutorials. This month April has also shared some helpful advice about blogger meet ups and what to expect at them, which I thought was a pretty nifty post, especially if you’re intrigued by the concept. She’s a good’un that April!

Oh my giddy aunt, what a brilliant blog! Paws and Prada is a blog designed for dog lovers written by mummy of Bruce the puppy, Joy. It is cuteness galore filled with heart melting puppy pictures, tips on training and poochy meal advice to keep your pup’s tummy happy. If you’re a dog owner, or contemplating becoming one, then Paws and Prada is definitely worth a read, there’s even an advice post if you’re considering becoming a puppy mummy, what’s not to love? Alternatively, if you just love to look at puppy pictures all day, Paws and Prada is also one to include in your blogging feed, that Bruce is a handsome pup! 

Diana is a fashion blogger based in LA and she is one gorgeous, fashionista gal I can tell ya! As well as writing her own fashion blog, Diana is also quite the fashion inspiration on Instagram where she shares snaps of her luxurious outfits and I for one am jealous of her wardrobe. If you’re in need of some fashion inspiration, admire the clothes of others or just appreciate swanky photography then LA by Diana is definitely for you, it is a treat for the eyes and the wardrobe, perhaps not the purse strings though as you'll be wanting Diana's wardrobe too. 

Lux Life is a lifestyle blog written by Catherine, who has the most beautiful hair I ever did see. Catherine primarily blogs about her love of travel, fashion and life which is quite the joy to read I do say. I am a lover of the variety on Catherine’s blog this month, from social events to festival gallivants and, most incredibly, a recipe for chocolate pancakes, what more could a girl want?! Lux Life is beautifully presented, from the photography to the design, it’s pleasing on the eye balls and Catherine’s blogging love shines through. Lux Life is one lifestyle blog you will not regret hopping on over to, especially not with chocolate pancakes on the menu! 

Girl Uninterpreted is a beauty blog written by confessed hair and beauty junkie, Natalie. Natalie provides us with everything you could possibly want in a beauty blog, reviews, tutorials, perfect eyebrows and an ever expanding beauty wish list. This month Natalie has shared her top make up tips which were pretty darn handy I must say, she has also shared an utterly beautiful evening make up face and had me itching for another trip to Mac. Natalie, I salute you. Girl Uninterpreted is definitely a beauty blog worthy of a follow, she’s quite the eye makeup genius that Natalie.  


Georgia Vanilla has returned for another month with Sprinkle of Glitter, pink hair in toe which pleases me muchly. Georgia is a beauty and lifestyle blogger, offering a variety of posts from perfume reviews to Chinese noodles and the dreaded dentist trips. Georgia’s honesty and humour in her blogging makes her a very likeable gal and her posts are always a breath of trusty blogging air. This month Georgia also reviewed a sun cream for us which I thought was very apt indeed for summer, it’s always important to remember skin protection and Georgia has us covered!

And they're all my ladies for the month!

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!
