There is going to be a lot of exciting things happening on my Blog this year so keep posted!

Thank you all for sticking with me you guys are the best.

Speak soon xoxo

Hey Guys! Good to see you again thanks for stopping by :) So this week's post is a very exciting one all about my 22nd birthday party! And as you guys couldn't be there in person I thought I would share with you all :)

I don't know about you guys but I really love planning and organising events so I just couldn't wait to get planning my party this year! So naturally my party theme was pink, pastel, princess and I wanted it to feel relaxed and playful as well as glam and popping ;) I got tonnes of inspiration from Instagram and fellow bloggers and tried my hand at a little DIY which I will explain later on. If you know anything about me you know I love everything pink and floral so that was my main theme when it came to decor, For a full list of where I got all my party decorations keep reading until the end ;)

So my birthday is actually on the 28th of September but a lot of my friends would be unavailable on that date so I moved it forward and I'm so glad I did :D So I hired a house on Airbnb which had a gorgeous garden so my plan was to have a cute little garden party. But to my despair on the morning of the party it did nothing but rain! Normally I would have totally freaked out and maybe even cancelled but I was so looking forward to seeing everyone and getting my boogie on it didn't faze me.   So we decided on plan b that we would have the party in the house. Luckily the house was also very nice and large enough to host it.

I wanted to have a main display table with food and drink for people to help themselves. I had all my favourite food like pizza, jalapeño poppers, hummus and salami. And of course an abundance of champagne. I noticed on Instagram a lot of "bling" champagne bottles with crystals and flowers and thought they looked really cute so I decided to make my own. It was so easy I literally spray painted the bottle gold, added some Swarovski crystals and used the bow from an old perfume bottle and voila! Ive started the tradition of keeping bottles from special occasions and using them as candles holders I've got my 18th, 21st and now my 22nd birthday and this bottle will look particularly cute in my room :) 

Here's a list of where I purchased my party decorations and accessories...

• Rose bouquet cake from Sainsbury's 
• Flowers kindly sponsored by Interflora 
• pink and gold paper straws from Ebay
• Gold glitter cake topper from Ebay
• Pink bird plate from H&M home
• Rose gold mason jar vase from Etsy
• Pink striped popcorn containers from Ebay
• Rose gold picture frame from Poundland
• Floral stacking boxes from B&M

I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We all had a really great time and it was so nice getting to catch up with all my friends. I hope you have enjoyed this post please leave me a comment down below you know I love to hear what you guys think!

Now as voted for on my blog poll you guys want to see my bedroom tour in my next blog post so your wish is my command ;) Keep a look out for that one!

Thanks again for your support it truly means the world to me you guys are awesome <3

Speak soon xoxo

Hey guys thanks again for popping by, Today Im going to be talking about how I make money at home and other genuine methods to make some extra cash. 

The internet is overflowing with promises of get rich quick schemes and fake work from home jobs, So it's really hard to tell who is telling the truth. I have been working from home for around 5 years now for a few different companies so heres how I personally make my money.

Taking calls from home was my first work from home job. I had been previously working in a call centre and I loved the idea of being able to work when I wanted without having to leave the house. So after a very long dredge though the internet scams I found a company called Arise Virtual Solutions. I was still even skeptical throughout the recruitment and training stages but once the first pay check came in there was no looking back.

With Arise you have complete control over which companies you service and when you service.

They always have lots of opportunities to choose from with some very famous companies.

Depending on the client you service and if you meet certain call targets. You can earn between £7-£15 per hour which is pretty decent for sitting around in your PJ's. And you don't just have to handle calls either, You can service customers via live chat and email too.

Now Arise does not directly employe you, We work on a self employed basis which means you need to join an existing independent business to be able to work, Or like I did you can create your own limited company and truly be your own boss. If any of you are interest in working for Arise Im happy to help answer any questions you have. You can email me at thejamienetwork@virginmedia.com :).

I found this company one day after having a long look around google, When I first signed up with User testing they were still quite new and unheard of but in the last few years they have really grown and have a lot more tester's. So you are basically testing websites for companies and individuals making sure they are easy to use and fully functional. You can earn an average of between £10-£15 for a 15 minute testing session which you cant really complain about. The testing is quite easy you just need to make sure you say out loud everything you are doing and comment on anything you think isn't working very well.If you prove to be a successful tester you may also be invited to test mobile apps as well which can be very lucrative. User testing are still accepting new applications so if you are interested go and check out their website :)

Another company I use to make some extra cash is Mystery Shoppers UK. Now they do not have as many opportunities as the other companies mentioned and I've only had two assignments to date, But they are a fun and easy way to legitimately make some extra cash. If you don't want to leave the house you can participate in phone shopping where you call a company and score the experience based on the criteria you have been set. The great thing about mystery shoppers is not only do they pay for your time and travel expenses but quite often you get to keep you're purchases too! They have even been known to offer test flights and holidays how great would that be, Free holiday!



So there are the ways I make some extra cash from home, If anybody knows of any other ways please share with us in the comments we'd love to hear them :) Thanks again guys for visiting my blog big hugs for you all see you next time! xoxo
