How To Be Pumpkin Masters // Leleanor's life

Hello

As Halloween is fast approaching we thought it would really add to the aesthetic of Eleanor's house to have some beautiful carved pumpkins in the window. So here are some pro pumpkin pointers:

Start by making sure you have a nice pumpkin station set up. It's important to differentiate your average life from your pumpkin life

Next you need to cut a small section off the top as the lid - you will need sharp knives just don't cut yourself like Eleanor did #WhatATwat. Note: don't do this without an adult present as it is a very dangerous process

Then comes the (not) fun part gutting the pumpkin WARNING: this smells very bad and if you don't want to stink out your whole house then do it outside

 #Yummy

Next you need to draw a design on your pumpkin, we chose to draw each other but #YouDoYou and draw what you like. We are art pros so if yours doesn't look as good as ours don't worry you'll get there

As you can see this takes major concentration and skill

Then grab a smaller knife and start carving out the face

After you've done this you are pumpkin ready, just add a tealight and watch the Halloween magic unfurl

you could even take your pumpkins outside for an impromptu photo shoot

Maybe even take a few cheeky shots indoors

finally don't forget to leave your mark on the pumpkin ensuring everyone knows its yours #SelfPromo

Theme Change // Leleanor's Life

Hello

2 posts in one day!!!!!!!

As you may have noticed our theme has changed. Now we know change is a difficult thing and that not all of you will be happy about our change of background

However we really needed one that reflected who we are. The flowers just didn't represent us anymore and we feel our new theme reflects our hopes, dreams and aspirations.

We think our new layout really suits "Leleanor's Life" and looks much more business like but still lively.

We hope you all like it as well as that is very important to us

peace, love and hugs

Lara's Vogage // Leleanor's Life

Hi.

Welcome back. Today was a bit of an emotional day but we figured we want to share every aspect of our lives with you. We also thought other people might be facing similar problems to Lara.

This is Lara's Voyage.

It all started at precisely 3:16pm GMT when Lara tragically got locked out of her house so with her bag on shoulder she made the pilgrimage to Ilkley to get the supplies she needed to survive out in the wild.

Who does she call? Eleanor!! #LeleanorReunite

Deciding that it was now time to get Lara some supplies they ventured into Mountain Warehouse to pick Lara out a warm hat for the cold night ahead.

Another essential item we deemed necessary for Lara to purchase was some buy spray #KeepingOffTheHaters

As Lara was going on a voyage what could be better that the 90L Voyager Bag

Road safety. #StaySafe

We both knew money was going to be a problem for lara so we invested her life savings (of £5) on this beautiful, majestic instrument.

Look out for Lara playing this on the streets 

To keep hair fresh on the go one of our favs- we highly recommend

To keep spirits high we figured Lara may need this inspirational candle 

At this point in our shopping trip the reality of the situation hit Lara she suddenly realised she hadn't eaten for 3 hours #Hangry. These following pictures show Lara suffering:

Lara thought she needed to get away the stress was all too much. Unfortunately after the investment of the piano, Lara was now broke.

It all was too much.

This is the moment where Lara Smart fell apart.

In the end, she gave up and called her Dad.

We hope you all enjoyed this emotional roller coaster that was Lara's voyage.

peace, love and hugs

How To Prepare For The First Day Back // Leleanor's Life

Hello guys,

You may have noticed there has been a lack of updates. In fact a very large lack of updates

We know as pupils ourselves it's back to school season and as we are such experts/inspirational people we figured we'd give you our pro tips on how to prepare for the first day/ any day of school.

Tip 1:
Make sure your hair is on point. This is definitely important as when your hair looks goods, you feel good #happiness

The low ponytail is a classic look which allows you to look good and be comfortable as well. This look also is fantastic on frizzy hair (see other post on how to achieve this style)

Tip 2; 

Uniform is obviously a must however the way you wear your uniform is how you express your true self. Personally we love the classy look and this is how we achieve it

We are now role models for the younger year groups so we feel it best to keep our skirt and tie at an appropriate length,We also have the privilege (not right) to go out of school for lunch so our uniform as to look immaculate as we are representing the school.   

Tip 3: 

Make sure you have absolutely everything you could need for school you never know when you could need something.

 In case i miss Lara at school 

 For light reading

 I don'k know what lessons i have today- let's bring everything

 Still don't know....

It may be hard to zip up but persevere it's worth it

 Oh no! What about my other stuff guess i'll need another bag!

 I can't forget my gel pens, felt tips, crayons, fine liners, pens and pencils 

 Personally i love to bring an alarm clock just to make sure i'm never late to a lesson

 You never know when it's going to be a sunny day so i like to bring many sizes and styles to provide a good choice

You never know what might happen- I like to be prepared

 Beware of back injuries

 #ready

So that is the finished look we hope you have learned something and know that the best tactic is just to pack everything. 

When i get to school i never forget to take a nice classic year 7 photo

peace, love and hugs

xoxo
