Hey guys its Taylor, sorry guys if you haven't already noticed I stopped blogging on here a month or two ago this was because I moved blogging platforms. i moved to wordpress. This was better for my blogger style and it is easier to connect with people who enjoy the same things as me.
Hey its Gemma, I have been thinking the same thing and decided to move to wordpress too. We both will be doing exactly the same types of posts but on our own websites with collabs hopefully every month or two. This was the best for both Gemma and Taylor because our schedules didnt match due to us being in different year levels and stages of school and life. We still enjoy posting together and planning our joint and seperate posts. Taylor's website: https://basicreativity.wordpress.com Gemma's website: https://hometravelandliife.wordpress.com

Netflix Series Review- Lost in SpaceMy Review.My review on lost in space. I really enjoyed this series. This is a awesome series on Netflix and I would definitely recommend this series to anyone. In this blog i will be talking about some of the series and just doing a little bit of a review. So i wouldn’t be saying too much of the series incase you guys want to watch it. So it is on Netflix and it came out on the 13 April 2018 in Australia 🇦🇺. There is 10 episodes in one season and the episodes usually go for up to 1 hour (or more) to 50 (or a little bit more) minutes. My rating My rating to LOST IN SPACE would page a thumbs up and 5 stars. Thank you guys for reading this blog. I have been thinking, am I am going to maybe try and post every Sunday but some times I may have to post every fortnight. I don’t know yet. It depends if I have time on my hands. Please leave a comment in the comments below about if you guys have watched this series of you want to.
Thanks Gemma. Talk to you next Sunday. 😀😄🗓 Sorry if there is any mistakes or grammar in this post. I did do it quite quickly. 🙂🤗 Hope you also like the new logo for the comments CARM Hey guys, it’s Gemma, today I would like to tell you guys what my favourite 2 apps of this month would be so far. It is only the 22nd of July today but I would just like to say what I think is my favourite 2 apps of this month would be. So firstly this app has really helped me with something that I will say but not right now. This app is called ‘Calm’, it is a app that helps with stress and axiety. What i mean about this is it plays different scenes like ‘Rain’ or a ‘Zen Beach’. It is really relaxing and van help with anything. So i have used this app and it has worked with my sleeping. I have sometimes nog gotten to sleep and this has worked. What i mean about not getting to sleep is that i wouldn’t get to sleep until like 1 in the morning. I would stress about nothing and get myself all tied up about nothing. So this has worked alot and i have been sleeping soo much better. To get into this app just like any other app go into the app store and search up Carm. Then install it. Here is a picture of the app and Some of the scenes SIMS FREE PLAY This is my 2nd Favourite app of the month. Sims free play. This is because i have been playing it sooo much and much and I have really enjoyed playing it. I have got not much sim characters but I am progressing though the game go get a huge city and naming them with weird but funny names (some last names aswell) and one if the weird last names is Meester. One of my sims name is Penny, this is because Penny is one of my dogs names and the other one is Tommy. Another name is Rosie. It is a really funny game and I really recommend this game. Here is some pictures of the game. so this was my favourite 2 games of this month. I hope you guys have liked this and if you guys want to get any of these apps, just go into the App Store and download them from there. These have made me really happy and have helped my with my stress and my happiness. So I hope you guys have liked this and I would recommend getting these apps if you want them
Thanks Gemma. Talk to you next Sunday. 😀😄🗓 Sorry if there is any mistakes or grammar in this post. I didn’t do it quite quickly. 🙂🤗 French ToastHey Guys, it’s Gemma and today I am talking about a French toast recipe. French toast is a great breakfast on any occasion. I made it for Taylor when she was at my house and trying it for the first time. Here is the recipe for French Toast and how I have always made it. The best way to top French toast is to top it with sugar because then it is more sweeter. Some of the French toast may be more eggy then other depending how much egg you put on the bread at the start. Things you will need
Method
I really hope you guys have enjoyed reading and making this recipe if you did make it. With this recipe I have really been enjoying making it and I have been making it for a while now. The best time to eat this would be in winter I think because it is hot and sweet. If you make this, please upload a picture of your French toast or just tell us if it was a success or not in the comments. Also in the comments please give it a rating if you liked it or not and give the rating out of ten or five. Everyone had their own personal choice so if you don’t want to give it a choice (your design or meal) you don’t need to. It is just a quick and easy suggestion. Thank you again for reading this and have the best day you can. 😊😁
Gemma. 🙂😊😄. (Sorry if there is anything that is wrong in this like spelling or grammar). Hey guys sorry we are a day late, but we wanted to write this post together. I am currently at Gemma's house planning our next couple of posts before the holidays ends so we can actually post weekly for once. Hey guys its Gemma it has been a while. Below are the instructions to make these fun and creative art pieces. You will need:
These are our finish products we hope you create and have fun making these amazing artworks. Be sure to show us your designs or advice in the comments below.
He it's been a very long time, but finally Gemma is back and now we have a joint Gemma and Taylor post. This is another Monthy favourites since it is the first of July (pinch, punch, first day of the month). We are thinking this could be alittle series where we post a monthly favoruites each month and then art post inbetween. Hopefully next Sunday or the Sunday after we could post an art or craft blog. We will see how we go. Anyway Gemma is so glad to be back and cant wait for the more posts to come in the holidays. Taylor Favourites:Book:Ok so right now my favourite books are still the series of unfortunate events series. My favourite book out of the series is the Prufrock Prep novel 6 I think. Food:Mine this month would probably be this hot potato salad I had for dinner one night. It was a new recipe. It is literally just a cold potato salad but hot. Art supply:My favourite art supply is water colours. I have been using these a lot recently and I have used it abit in visual communitcations and at home for the past 2 or do days. I just like the watery effect it has and how I can blend and add dimension to it so easily. TV Show:My favourite TV show this month would probably be this short 2 season series I binged watched in the second last week of school. It is called Santa Clarita Diet. It is a new gross comedy about a mum who gets a deasise which causes her to start having to kill people. It is a dark comedy but not scary show which is alot different to what you would usually watch. It is on netflix and I totally recommend it. Movie:One of my favourite classic movies would be Mamma Mia I love musicals and it is such an amazing funny classic. I cant wait till next month when the second Mamma Mia is out. I am so excited and I hope it is as good as the first movie. Beauty:My favourite beauty products this month would be this new skin care pack I just started using. It is AMAZING!!!!!!! It literally started clearing my face the first few days I used it. I couldn't believe it. It's called Proactiv and I would definitely recommend it. Gemma's Favourite!Book:My favourite book this month would be the book called Loyal Creatures. This is because I had to read this for school and it is very moving and a very inspirational book talking about a young men’s life through tough times. Food:My favourite food this month was pancakes. My family have a great pancake recipe and when ever we make it, it always boosts my happiness. I have always had this with my friends and they have also like it. It is also very good on a cold winters day. With maple syrup and strawberries. Or with ice cream and golden syrup. This reason why this is sooo good is because, they are made from scratch and they are thin and fluffy. Art supply:My favourite art supply would be a pencil. Is this is because, when drawing you should always start with pencil. It can be rubbed out and can have any shade or colour with it. And when drawing I like to do a very ruff sketch will pencil then colour it in anything. Beauty:My favourite beauty product this month is nail polish. I just love all the colour combinations, styles and things I can create with it. TV shows:My favourite TV show this month would be Fuller House. This is a series on Netflix and it is sooo addictive. This is because I have been watching it and I cant stop watching it until I have finished it. This a sequal of Full House. While I am doing this part, I am watching Fuller House and it is sooo funny. (I have used BOLD because I am pointing out that is what I am talking about and the differents aswell). I do reccomand this series to lots of people. The best way to watch this is to watch Full house first then fuller house but I did it backwards and when you have watched the first or second, you will understand every charcter.
Hey guys so again today its only Taylor and I didn't know what to post so today I decided topost some drawings I hav done and got inspiration off pintrest. These are some of my favourite styled drawings which are disney with a creative side I added to them. If you guys have any tips or ideas on what to post please tell Gemma and I.
Hey guys I know I am a day late and sorry about that but I had no Wi-Fi where I was, since this week is a long weekend. Unfortunately, again Gemma couldn’t post on this blog since she is busy with catching up on school work. So, since she is only new and I have been making blogs for over a year or two, I decided I would make a post about tips and tricks on starting a blog. One of my friends reminded me on writing this post because she wanted to start a blog.
One of my first tips is not to expect fame or money and instead do it just for fun. It takes a long time for people to start creating a fan base of people watching. Our blog is only new and we haven’t formed that yet. The aim if you want to start a blog is to do it because you love it and not because you want something out of it. Another tip is to stay to a certain schedule or post recently. This is because then people will stay tuned and come it check your post if you have a day you post. You example I like mine to be Sundays, but it’s okay to miss a week, but you should try to make a day to post and stick to it at the start. I know I shouldn’t be saying this, since I sometimes miss a week or two, but I always end up coming back. Another good thing to know is to start by doing something you love. Because when creating a blog, you should enjoy it yourself. If you don’t how do you expect anyone else to. You can really create a blog about anything you like. For me the platform I would recommend is weebly for a blog you aren’t willing to pay for yet. This is what I use and the starter pack is really good to start with. It is very easy to learn how to use and you can put a lot of creativity into your posts. These were just a few basic tips for anyone starting any type of blog. If you like this post be sure to tell me in the comments, my email or social media. Hopefully these helped you and next week we will hopefully be back with a joint post. xxx Hey guys unfortunately today it is me (taypaints) creating a post this week, because Gemma was busy. So today I am going to show you guys how I drew this mandala minnie mouse design. By the way this is not my idea I found this inspiration off Pinterest. The photo below is my inspiration. Instructions
This is the finish product I did. I hope you enjoyed learning how to draw this I sure did. Cant wait to see and talk to you guys next week.
Byeeeeee xoxo Hey its Taylor and Gemma and today we are talking about our monthly favourites. We are thinking that this will be one of our monthly posts where we talk about our favourites of each month. Our topics of favourites of each month are books, food, art supply, tv show, movie, beauty and more. Taylor's Favourites!Book:My favourite book this month is the series of unfortunate events book series I have read the first two books and have started the third. I have read the series when I was younger and loved it, watched the movie and the TV series on netflix. Food:This month I have surprisingly had a huge craving for doughnuts I don't know why but have really liked to eat them this month. At my local shop they have opened a really nice doughnut place. Art supplyMechanical pencils has been my favourite art supply in May. They have been so much better to use and for some reason when I draw with them my work always turns out better. TV show:My favourite TV show to watch this month was 13 reasons why season 2 I love how this show shows the effects of suicide and how everyone feels. Some things in the series are very graphic but still very emotional. Movie:The movie I enjoyed watching this month is the new avengers Infinity War absolutely loved the movie and wanna watch it again. It did give me mixed emotions throughout the movie but loved it as a whole. *Don't worry I won't say any spoilers*. I have always been a fan of marvel and cant wait for the next movie. Beauty:This beauty product I chose of this month is actually a peice of jewellery it is this side ring necklace. It is a friendship necklace gemma and I got but for my bday I got a more expensive version because it was getting rusty. Now I wear it every day. Gemma's Favourites!Book:Everything everything. I am loving this book because it is telling you a life of a disease that happened to a small amount of people and it is really just doing a life story of a person who has this condition. Food:my favourite type of food this month would have to be beef sti fry. This is Because the texture and the flavours of the dish match together so well and the dish is just so mouthwatering. The chewy beef and the crunchy veggies are the dish so much better. Art supply:My favourite type of art supply’s would be a paint brush. This is because the paint brushes come in so many different sizes although it only goes up to size 16. I love the different textures of the thickness of the brush and the types of different strokes you can do is amazing. I really do love paint brushes. This is also because isn’t the smaller sizes you can paint small spaces and with the thicker one you can paint eith the thick ones. TV show:Happy Days because it is really funny to watch and it is really interesting to know how the time of happy days were done. I have just received the 1-4 season of happy days and I am really enjoying watching it. It is really funny and I love how the actors just makes the whole series much better. Movie:i have really been enjoying the dance academy series. It is also a series but I have the movie on DVD and I have watched it soooo many times. It is really just a movie about the seasons and it is just a follow on from the seasons which were also very good. I have watched the movie soo many times that I am not sick of it yet. Beauty:my favourite type of beauty would be perfume. This is because I don’t wear makeup but I do wear perfume. I have been recently been wearing the purfume princess and I have been loving it. I only got it last month and I have used a little bit of it. I really only use it on my wrists and my neck twice and my wrists once or twice.
Hey its Taylor sorry we missed 2 weeks and we are so sorry about that we have just been super busy with school and not being free at the same time. So today we decided that I will put this old post together because these are some old photos from a DIY we did at the start of the year. We tried to post it a 2 weeks ago and lost all of the content and had to start again. Anyway we will chat next week.
This is the finish product the grey is Taylor's and the pink is Gemma's. I you want to make it a bookmark like we did you can tie a larger string. Next week hopefully if we have time we will do a writing or drawing post. Byeeeee

Hope you enjoy. You will needMethod!Gemma's and Taylor's final idea!Pink is Gemma's and grey is Taylor's. Thank you for reading this and supporting Gemma and I.
Hey its Taylor and today we unfortunately couldn't make it to do a joint blog together so we had to call and make this together over FaceTime. I decided to take all the photos cause I had the camera and gemma and I would just both make our own versions. I had made this before if your were here since the beginning when I blogged by myself I made these so I have a lot of experience while this was gemma's first time. Even though this was easy I still had to step through what to do with Gemma. So this is what I told her step by step. Hopefully next week we will do a talking blog about a few tips on something. You will need~ container to put lip scrub in ~enough sugar to fit in the container ~ teaspoon ~canola oil (any kind of oil) ~food colouring (I used rose pink) ~food flavouring (I used rosewater) ~a tooth pick or metal skewer to mix. MethodTaylor's and Gemma's finished productsHey,
Unfortunately it is the end of mine and Gemma's holiday, but we did promise we would do a blog post on holiday photos so here are some. Hey this is gemma. So as you know we are away on holidays. we may post some pictures of our holidays on the blog but we are not that sure. I really do hope everyone reading this has had a great easter and had lots of fun on the easter weekend. I have posted a couple of drawings that I hav done on my artwork page so if you want to you can go and have a look at those. Hey its Taylor, as you have already read from Gemma we are on holiday and are having so much fun. I hope you guys all had an amazing happy easter and got lots of yummy chocolate. Today we are gonna talk about the top 5 books we both separately recommend you should read. Gemma's top 5 books1. Loyal Creatures- . Loyal Creatures is about the war and courage of the people and young men that went to the wars. it also includes the journeys and the struggles that the men went though. but just till the end. 2.The Harry Potter Series- so if you like fiction books than you would like the harry potter series than. it can sometimes follow on with the movies with parts of the movies in each book but there are parts of it that are different to the movies. 3. Wonder- Wonder can be a sad but exciting book to read. it tells the story about a boy that gets bullied and offended about what he looks like. there are parts of the book that tells you the perspectives of the people in the book and they are telling you about their times with the boy and telling you what they thought. it also takes parts from the movie in the book because the movie is based the book 4. goosebumps- Goosebumps is a series that if you like a bit of monster fantasy then you would like this series. it can involve the blob, a huge prey mantis, a vampire dog or alive and living dummy. that can sound a bit weird but it can be really cool to read. if you get a book and you don't know anything about it just look at the title and the front cover and your will get a understanding of it hopefully or just ask who ever you are with about it. 5. Percy Jackson- this is really just about a boy who is a half hero and half boy. he is now a fighter and stays in a camp. it can be a bit weird at the start of the book but if you get into the story more it may get a bit better, I say the because I haven't read much of the first book but I am up to the 2 chapter and It doesn't make much sense to the movies but hopefully it will get better to the book. if you don't know anything about it look it up or ask someone about it. Taylor's top 5 books1. Hunger Games series- This is a great series that was made before the movies that you will most likely know about it. This is about the 12 districts and a capital that is in charge of it all. They have an annual hunger games when a boy and girl from each district competes till death for the capital. Katniss doesn't like this and tries to save the districts.
2. Maze Runner series- This is about a group of immune kids who have been stuck in this maze and are trying to break out. It is a great book and they just released the 3rd movie a few months ago. 3. Halo series- This is book about 3 angle who are sent from heaven to bring good to the world. There is also a girl called Bethany who meets a boy called Xavier, but they cant resist the attraction between them. It is a good book series about love and fantasy. 4. The elemental series - This is also a good fantasy book about a girl and a group of brothers who all have a different elemental power. This first story is more about Becca finding out about everything and her relationship with Chris and a few problems on the way. 5. Wonder- Lastly this amazing book called wonder which is about a boy called August who is going through his first year of school 5 grade. Him making friends and getting bullied through his first year. It is great hobbit shows some insight in not just August but his sister and friends. Thank you for reading this blog and soon we will be posting a blog post about our holiday photos and other stuff. Thankyou see you later. Hey its Taylor sorry gemma and I missed a week it was because we had lots of tests and homework, I just got back from school camp and I just had my birthday and party which were both amazing. Gemma was also very busy too.
Today Im just going to explain what the plan with posting and stuff for the holidays and the future. Okay so Gemma and I are going away for the holidays but will still try to post and keep up to date. We will also actually post once a week on Sundays, we will try and make them joint posts but if one of us is busy with school or anything else then the other person will post their own blog post. On top of this we will post photos of any of our artwork on the 'Our Artwork' tab. Hopefully we will be able to post this coming Sunday right before we leave which will be Easter Day and the day before we go on holiday. We will post and see you soon on Sunday bye. Hey it's Taylor sorry I haven't been posting I took a break on this website and sorta forgot it existed. For the past 2 months me and my friend Gemma tried making our own youtube channel it went okay, but we feel more comfortable typing on a blog then posting youtube videos. So we decided to come back and robot this website and make it 10 times better then before. But this time instead of having one author we are gonna have two!!! If you have been here since the beginning I posted entries by myself and with my friend Gemma doing diys and drawing tutorials. We decided since we saw each other so much and had so much fun doing crafts and talking on this blog we decided we would make this a joint website. Even though I will be typing most of it and it will all be editing and created on my lap top my friend Gemma will be talking and adding her own touch to this new and improved website. Instead of me introducing my amazing friend she will tell u a bit about herself.
Hi my name is Gemma. I have come to a decision to post on this website with Taylor. Here are somethings about me. my top 4 favourite colours are pink, lavender, blue and silver. Some of my hobbies are drawing, colouring, diys and making food. I love making food for people/friends and even for family. Themes and places that I really enjoy and make me feel happy are, tropical or winter in the snow. You probably already know my name is Taylor. My favourite colour is aqua, I am obsessed with it and when I say obsessed I mean OBSESSED. My room is has an aqua feature wall with aqua, black and white stuff and most of my belongings are aqua, but the good thing is I haven't got so obsessed yet that I wear aqua. My favourite hobbies are art, craft, reading, cooking and netball. Gemma and I have decided that this website is going to be about art, tips and lifestyle. The art blog post are about crafts, diys, drawing tutorials and cooking. The tip blog posts are about tips from art to high school. Last the lifestyle posts are about social problems, hacks and everyday situations. We will also answer any questions about these topics if you comment below, send an email below or send message on one of our social medias. We will post a blog entry every week, but this week cause we have been gone s long we will post twice. We can't wait to start posting every Sunday and hope you enjoy.
