HOW TO MAKE A COFFEE FRAPPUCCINO | #SummerWithSHARandom

Hello, how are you doing? So summer is when you should change your hot drink to cold. I LOVE coffee (hot or cold) and today I'm going to teach you how to make an easy coffee Frappuccino. 

INGREDIENTS

a cup of milk 
tea spoon of coffee 
2 tea spoons of sugar 
a dash of cinnamon
ICE 

Honestly, there isn't a set recipe. You can adjust it to your liking. Depends on how caffeinated you want your frappuccino to be or if you don't like sugar you can cut it off completely. With that being said I recommend the ingredients above. 

Now just throw everything in the blender and enjoy your cold drink on this hot summer's day.

EXAMS = PANIC

Hello! I am typing this only moments after one of my exams and I think it's a good idea to discuss the topic of exam stress. 

I don't really worry about exams to a point of anxiety but I do worry. The most stressed I get is hours before the exam,during the exam and for days after its all done with and just go over the answers which I don't think is a very smart thing to do. BUT I STILL DO IT!! 

I think most people get stressed during the moments leading to the test and for that I recommend the following: 

1.  I know it's unhealthy and such but eat all the junk food you can. Forget about being healthy for a few hours and just eat! 
2.  Some say that last minute revision is pointless but if you have been revising for the past 4 month for the test, going over some key points before the test is not going to hurt. Go for it if it makes you feel better. 
3.  It's best to spend these moments with people who are taking the same test and just chat. I know I'm making it sound like you're dying but no. I think it's very therapeutic to chat about random things and just get your mind off of the test for a few minutes. 

I know that tests are not fun but it's worth it for the long run. Right? Or at least that's what teachers tell you.

Good luck to you all with your exam. 

Modest yet Fun Fashion | OOTD | Hanna

Hello lovelies! Thought I'd do an outfit of the day for you all! Hope you enjoy...

Winter Lookbook || S.H.A.Random

Really Though...Really??!

Hello there people of the internet! We are easily irritated by a lot of dumb things that go around on the internet, here's a few of our biggest pet peeves we thought you may enjoy:

Dark lip liner with light lipstick

When it comes to makeup, one of the biggest things that annoy us is when girls voluntarily choose to use a dark lip liner and then go over it with a very light lipstick making them look quite...peculiar. Like I'm just over here thinking why?! What is the need to do that to yourself? We do not understand this trend whatsoever! If you want to wear lipstick, WEAR IT RIGHT! There is no need to make yourself look odd purposely. If you want to wear a dark lip liner, then keep it all dark but if you're going to wear a light lipstick then keep it all light! There is no in-between!!

Different Patterned Trouser Legs

Next we move on to some really bizarre fashion trends that should cease to exist! I mean when it comes to your legs: why would you want to be wearing different patterned, or coloured for this matter, trouser legs?! There is no need to be so strangely funky; like this isn't some sort of disco people! Your outfit will sooooo not be looking on point if you're wearing some strange, next-level jeans or pants! When I see people wearing these sorts of trousers, I think they look really weird and I even...sometimes...feel pity for them.

Gossip Sites

Let's be real for a second, some or a hell of a lot of gossip sites write about the most ridiculous and I do mean RIDICULOUS things ever! Like hello, the fact that Taylor Swift got a new cat and named it 'Olivia' or Justin Bieber swore at someone isn't real news! They will take the tiniest of things about celebrities and make it out to be as if it's the biggest thing to ever happen to mankind! LIKE CALM YOUR ASS DOWN! For real, they need to chill. If you want to write about news, how about writing about important things that are actually going on or you could even write about a new movie role a celebrity has gotten or the fact that one of them is publishing a book. You could applaud them once in a while instead of always trying to pick out their imperfections and flaws, making it out to be as if they are some kind of monster. They are real people too with actual feelings just like the rest of us!!...Like no wayyyy, What A Shocker!?
Now we're not saying all gossip sites do this but there is a large majority that do and to be honest, it's pretty dumb!

Hating On YouTubers

Since we're on the topic about gossip sites hating on celebrities, I thought it would be a good idea to mention the amount of hate that our beloved YouTubers get. For some reason or another, people think it's fun to go around posting rude and unnecessary comments on famous YouTubers videos the second they try and change something up or try and branch further out, beyond making videos. For example, Ricky Dillon and Troye Sivan had gotten so much hate when they started to make music just because some dumbass people thought that if they became famous for making videos, they should stick to that and not even try and broaden their horizons! LIKE HOW FRIGGIN' DUMB IS THAT! If they have a passion for music, let them make it in peace!! Like who they hell are you to stand in their way of them doing something they love!?! When famous actors try to become singers, they get no hate or when One Direction's Louis Tomilson tried to become a footballer for a while, he received no hate so why is it only YouTubers who aren't aloud to try and explore new things? How does that work exactly? Can someone explain that to me because I for one am confused! Or when Zoella published her first book 'Girl Online' she had gotten a bunch of hate just because she had a little help from a few friends! I bet there are so many authors out there that need an extra hand every once in a while and no-one says anything to them and I really don't think Zoe should get treated any differently! She put a lot of time and effort into that book and we should be supporting her, not knocking her down. YouTubers get so much pointless hate and it's damn right stupid!

Typical Stereotypes Of Asian YouTubers

When people think of Asian YouTubers, they think that they aren't as capable to become as big as some other YouTubers on the internet. And I would have to say that's pretty idiotic thinking! Look at FouseyTube; he has millions of subscribers and he's a Muslim! Or Superwoman a.k.a Lily Singh has loads of subscribers and she's Indian! So I really don't understand the logic behind people thinking Asian YouTubers can't be as big as people who aren't Asian because trusssst me, THEY CAN! People need to stop having that typical mind set of what a certain group of people are able to do because you really don't know how much one person can achieve even if they are Asian...it's 2015 for goodness sake!

#SELFIE - The Chainsmokers

This music video went viral and I have to say it was pretty...CRAP!! Like are you kidding me?? Is it supposed to be funny or something?! Because I for one do not find it amusing. Why would anyone enjoy that kind of music and if I'm being completely honest right now, it's not even real music! Like come onnnnnn!! There is so much more real talent out there yet views are wasted on really pointless noises with no meaning whatsoever behind them. I'd understand if it had an actual rhythm or beat to it which is why so many people listened to it but it doesn't even have that...so I'm actually at a loss for words as to why people liked it so much and as to how it became so popular.

We hope you enjoyed this post and can I just quickly say that these are our opinions on these topics, if you have a different view on them well that's your choice because everyone is entitled to their own opinion and this is just ours.

Simply A Post About The Violin

Hello! I recently started playing a new instrument. I am in no way a musician but I've always just wanted to have the ability of playing an instrument and I have chosen the VIOLIN.

I have been obsessed with the violin. I've watched violin covers and a million different tutorials on YouTube. I don't know where this sudden interest came from, I just want to play all day long.

The violin is a tricky instrument to get a grip on but I do promise you that progress is being made. Hopefully after a few months of practising, I might get myself around to doing a cover for you guys.

One of the best things about learning this new instrument for me is that I'm learning  it with a friend. She has been playing for years so she can give me tips as I go. She has been so supportive and encouraging and I am so thankful. 

I started playing the violin because I think that its a beautiful instrument and I LOVE how it sounds. 

When you start to learn a new song, you will not like it. but you have to practice 'till you get it right. I only know one Christmas song so far and it's the best feeling to know when to move your bow and what fingers you use for what note. It's cool. My advice to you, if you are starting a new instrument, just go for it and as long as you like the way it sounds(when other people play) then you will get there. 

If you are starting out, just like me, then check out THE ONLINE PIANO AND VIOLIN TEACHER on YouTube she has everything on her channel. She also has her performance channel and its AMAZINGGG! More of my favorite violinists are: Kelly Ryu & OMJamie They are Incredible so please check them out and tell them that Shirog Sent you!

HAPPY BLOGGIVERSARY!

 

I would like to start off by saying a very big hello to everyone in the world first of all and also congratulating everybody because the 27th of October 2014 marked a very special occasion for us! It has officially been a year ever since we started S.H.A.Random and so we thought we would celebrate by making a day of it along with one of our amazaaang friends asia!It feels like just yesterday we were thinking about starting a blog together and now it's been an entire year! We have achieved so much within the past year and we are so happy that we got to experience it with all you lovely people out there! So to see what we got up to on our anniversary and more, keep reading!

OUTFITS

For my outfit, I wanted to wear something pretty casual but also slightly dressed up so I decided to wear a plain grey jumper/dress along with some blue skinny jeans and also some blue slightly jazzed-up shoes. I also wore quite a lot of jewellery which was the dress up part of the outfit. I wore a cute love-heart necklace along with a pink bracelet and I think about five or six really pretty rings (and if any of you guys know me by now, you'll know I'm completely and utterly obsessed with rings). Plus since it was pink day in school, I decided to wear a floral-printed pink scarf just to add a tad bit more colour to the outfit and to liven it up a bit more.

As for mine, I went for a casual dress with a cardigan and converses. My theme for this outfit was simply "white". I love the detailing on this dress, its made out of a material that I cannot recognise but I can tell you that it's amazing. It has pockets which I normally find strange to wear but I don't mind it on this dress plus it meant that there is a place for my gigantic phone to sit. I used a belt around my waist over the cardigan which I thought gave the outfit its shape after putting on so many layers. Lastly my head scarf, it's plain white with sparkling patterns. I thought that it was too plain so I added a ribbon to add a pop of colour to my outfit.

TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

I thought we could take a little trip down memory lane remembering some of the highlights I guess of the blog. One of the memories, I remember was created before the blog had even started. We were deciding what to write for our first ever blog post and we had the longest argument about whether to start it off as 'hi' or 'hello' ending in eventually having to get a teacher to decide for us! It was probably the most pointless argument we ever had but yeahhh, it happened. 

I also remember the time when it was the beginning of summer and we had a S.H.A.Random photo shoot which was so much fun to do. The day was just full of laughs.

There was a time when we were running late with one of the post's but we were determined to post it on that exact day and I would say we made it just in time. We posted it at exactly 11:59pm!When we began blogging, whenever we would write a blog post together we always and I mean always had to have a fizzy drink along with a bunch of chocolates and sweets. It was a kind of a tradition. A very unhealthy one.

GIVING THANKS & APPRECIATION

We thought we would write a little thank you section just because this blog would not be happening without all of the support both  our friends and family give us. We have done some pretty weird things just for the blog post's and they've put up with all of it. From forcing my sister to take pictures of us for our photo shoot to making our friends and family wait for us while we try to take some nice pictures for the blog. We also want to say a big thank you to all of our viewers for actually reading our post's because if you didn't read them, then there would be no point of writing them. We absolutely love writing on a blog and we hope that with the help of all of you amazing people out there, we will be able to expand our audience and create a massive following this time next year!

THE MAZE RUNNER :- Review

We originally went to the movie theatre to watch Annabelle but we ended up watching The Maze Runner. When I watched the trailer for this movie, it reminded me of the hunger games. I know that they are totally different movies but if you think about both have the concept of being trapped and controlled. After watching the movie my opinion was slightly changed from " I don't like this movie" to " Not bad". The actors were amazing and so was the story line. I honestly did not read the books so I cannot give this comparison. In my opinion I think that I would of appreciated the movie more if I read the books. However, I know that Hanna and Asia  LOVED the movie and I've seen Hanna recommend it to a few people so I guess the movie was pretty good. I would give this film 3 stars out of 5.

To wrap this post up, I just want to say that I had an AMAZING time with two of my best friends. I guess the highlight of my day was catching up with Asia and watching Hanna pay for the bus.
