Amazing Advertisers || June 2015

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Oh my giddy aunt, it is hot. Too hot! Summer is well and truly upon us and I've got the paddling pool out for all to enjoy, although I think I'm enjoying it more than Darcy. I hope you're all having a wonderful heatwave too. I advise taking a break from the sunshine to enjoy some of my Amazing Advertisers, as always we've got some good'uns!

The Prosecco Diaries is a lifestyle blog written by London gal Sarah. I’ve always said The Prosecco Diaries brings a touch of Sex and the City to the blogging community and once more Sarah has proven me oh, so right! I love having a gander through The Prosecco Diaries if I’m in need of a restaurant recommendation or am after a suburb cocktail, I know I’ll be in for a treat! I trust Sarah’s reviews and thoroughly recommend having a gander yourself, Sarah offers variety in her posts and there is a recommendation for everyone, whether you’re a sushi or steak kinda gal. You won’t be let down!


Louise is another returning advertiser with Sprinkle of Glitter and I’m pleased as punch to have her back once more! The What Now Blog is a lifestyle blog which centrals around inspiring and advising you to be the best version of you. From work advice, to tips of living a happy life, Louise has done it all! Recently Louise has also been providing us with a few foodie and beauty posts which have also been a joy to read! She just doesn’t let me down that gal! If you’re in need of some advice on turning that bad day around or maybe some motivation to kick start a new project, you need a dose of Louise in your life.


Retro lovers, you’re in luck! We’ve the perfect online shop for all our swishy skirt needs. Unique Vintage is an American online clothing boutique which, quite frankly, makes me unable to control my swooning. It’s simply beautiful. Whether you’re a fan of the 1920’s flapper look, that 1940’s style pencil skirt, or all the swish of the 50’s dresses, Unique Vintage has it all I tell ya! They cater for plus sized ladies also which makes me happy, and the prices are wonderfully reasonable for such gorgeous dresses. I warn you, your purse will not appreciate it, but my golly your wardrobe will!


Britany Powell is a charming little lifestyle blog written by dog lover, Britany. I’ve been thoroughly intrigued by Britany’s blogging style and she offers a unique approach to lifestyle blogging which pleases me. Britany Powell is almost like a diary, and each post is a glimpse into Britany’s brain, I do love a good up close and personal kinda blog! The photography is beautiful and thoughtfully captured, and the musings are a joy to read, they give you a little something to think about also. Britany, I do like you and your writing and I look forward to having another venture inside your head.




Ooft we’ve another returning advertiser this month in the form of fashion blogger, Andini. Adventures of an Anglophile is a tip top blog and I’ve always been a lover of Andini’s style. I’ve been inspired by her outfit choices in the past and I will never tire of looking at that beautiful face (and hair) of hers. Andini certainly knows a thing or two about fashion and she’s perfected the fishtail braid, which I felt deserves a mention in itself! It’s not easy gals. This month Andini has rocked the monochrome, the 70’s vibes and the glittery shoes. Ooh the glittery shoes of joy!! I advise you all hop, skip and jump on over, Adventures of an Anglophile is a haven for beautiful fashion.


Professional Daydreamer is written by Chloe, a young gal with a love of writing. We all know I’m a huge fan of ‘little bit of everything’ blogs, and Professional Daydreamer is just that. Chloe writes about all sorts, from film reviews to advice on puberty, she’s certainly doing it all that gal! Recently Chloe has also written about her thoughts on Youtube culture which I thoroughly enjoyed reading, it’s something I have mentioned in the past and love hearing Sprinklerinos thoughts on it. I look forward to more posts from Chloe, she’s got all the spice of life we’ll need with that variety of hers.


Ooh lordy, I am a lover of this blog! Trudy Johanna is a lifestyle blog, written by young London gal Trudy! Trudy blogs about her thoughts of life as a 20 something, the joys, and perils of the internet and there’s even a little bit of beauty in there for us as well. I love the layout of Trudy’s blog, it’s very swish and very la de da! Not to mention Trudy is quite the photographer. I take my flower crown off to you Trudy, you’ve pleased my eyeballs muchly. Trudy Johanna is a firm favourite and it’s definitely worth going for a gallivant and discovering some golden content, there’s a lot of it!


Rose is a delightful, caring woman with a heart of pure gold. She is a busy grandmother helping to raise her beautiful granddaughter and vlogging her adventures along the way. I’m pleased to have Rose join us this month as her blog is entirely different and I do love a good mix in my lovely Amazing Advertisers bunch. As well as writing about her triumphs and tribulations, Rose also offers some wonderfully helpful life advice and I’ve appreciated it muchly! Thank you Rose for sharing your experiences with us and being the best grandmother to that gorgeous girl. If you’re a parent, or just love to join others on their life adventures, then I’d thoroughly recommend giving Grammy Rose a visit.


Warning, the broodiness is upon us and we’ve got some darling kiddie winks in our midst. Chalk Kids is a stylish parenting blog brought to you by several mummies and their adorable tots. I’m a lover of the mummy blog, and Chalk Kids is no exception, it’s a right good’un! If it’s parenting advice you’re after, children’s fashion picks or even child friendly home décor, Chalk Kids has got it all. Alternatively, if you just love to look at cute babies and Instagram worthy baby bumps, then you’ll also be thoroughly impressed! I cannot recommend Chalk Kids enough as a perfect parenting blog, it’s a community of mothers ready to welcome you with open, stylish arms.


Another returning advertiser with Sprinkle of Glitter, the beautiful Angie! SilverSpoon London is the perfect food and lifestyle blog, it’ll leave you hungry and wanting more! I love Angie’s style of blogging and it’s obvious she is passionate about her little space on the web. Her reviews are always informative and truthful, her photography is divine and I love seeing her document the fun she has with her husband. SilverSpoon is simply beautiful and definitely worth a read if you’re after a review, whether it be for the perfect pasta dish, or the best spa hotel. Angie has done it all! 

Phew! And that is Amazing Advertisers done for another month. I hope you've discovered a few new beauties, I know I have! 

Toodlepip!

Full Book Tour Details || Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

I'm so excited that now LouiseLIVE is over (I feel so emotional about that- I definitely need to write a big blog post on it!), I can finally announce my Book Tour Dates!



My first ever book Life With A Sprinkle of Glitter is available now for pre-order and released into stores on the 2nd of July and with that I will be going on a super duper book tour!! A BOOK TOUR!! I know we have perhaps all become a little jaded to the idea of YouTubers bringing out books but to me, this isn't a YouTube Book, this is MY book. My baby. My heart and soul on glossy coloured pages, just waiting to be picked up, taken home and read. 

I would love to meet some of the people who have decided to add my book to their lives and thank them for supporting me, so, if you would like to come, the links are below. 



These things usually sell out very quickly so do snap up spots whilst you can.

I can't wait to see you!!

Toodlepip!

Another Baby One Day?


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

In case you missed it on my YouTube channel, this week I uploaded a video answering all the questions you asked me on Twitter using the hashtag, #AskLouise.

It was really fun to just sit back and answer the things you wanted to know, even with the cat did savage my foot to shreds. 

If you have any video suggestions for the next few weeks- let me know in the comments below and I will add them to my list!

Motivational Monday | Slackin'


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Merry Monday mon monkeys. Mmmmm alliteration at it's finest there. 

It's the start of a new week, it's the Sprinkle of Glitter blog, it's time to feel motivated. You know the drill. 


For weeks I have been working on projects. My live tour begins in a matter of days, my book is released next month, two other big projects are to be launched in August and September and I'm slowly getting into a rhythm with mine and Matt's arrangements with Darcy now that he is at his new job. It's a lot. 

The thing that I have let go is the house. Oh-My-God have I let it go. I'm behind on laundry, there is always a pile of dishes, post is piling in the hallway and frankly, the house would love to see a duster here and there! I keep trying to claim back the control but I fail every time and throw out all the usual excuses - I'm always away, I am exhausted after I've worked, I'd rather spend quality time with Darcy etc. 

Well, this week I'm gonna stop slacking and just do it. I'm going to put my sole attention onto one room at a time and just crack on. Bit by bit I will get there. I want to live in an environment that's neat and organised and I have the power and means to do that. 

Is there anything like this in your life at the moment? If there is, could this be the week that you quit slackin' and make shit happen?

Toodlepip!

Popping My Target Cherry


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

If you follow along on Twitter or Insta you'll know that a couple of weeks ago I went to Seattle to visit my American Bestie Marie from the YouTube channel BitsandClips. 

For the entire 4 years (woah that went by fast!) of our friendship we have chatted almost every day on Skype and shared all the little bits of life that have meandered in and out. Our favourite thing to do is just, be. 



We've officially physically spent time together on two occasions. Once for a week in Spring 2014 in Seattle and once for a week in Winter 2015 in Orlando (for a big trip to Disney). Both of those trips were a whirlwind of sightseeing and families and activities. This trip wasn't. It was blissful. 

We decided to just have a week of hanging out, chatting, watching films, enjoying laptop club, seeing our girls play and eating waaayyyyy too many starbucks bagels. Oh my how I loved it. 

One of the many 'normal' things we did was visit a Target. My first over trip. Yeah buddy! As a YouTube addict I've seen an absolute tonne of vlogs from people who go there and watched lots of hauls but had never actually had a moment to go in and enjoy it. And, who better to enjoy a place full of trinkets and joys than the person who delights in all the things like that- MARIE!

If you are struggling to watch the embedded link, click HERE to be taken directly to my channel. 

So, $143 later we were outta there and I was confused as to how that all happened! 

We had a little time before my flight home on the last day so whilst my Darcybluebird watched a film (you can just about spot her in the background), we filmed a haul video and had all the giggles. 

I hope you enjoy listening to us chitchat along as much as we enjoyed filming it. I wanna do these kinds of videos every single time I see her I think. 

Toodlepip!
