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!

Toodlepip!

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!

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!

Amazing Advertisers || May 2015


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Excuse me there but where is the time going this year? I'm sure I just sat down to write April's Advertiser post!!





This month Heidi has shared all sorts on her beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog. From great beauty discount codes (I think if you are in the States), interesting food inspiration (excuse me, yes, I would very much like to eat chickeny goodness out of a roasted pumpkin) and a makeup tutorial, there is a little bit for everyone. 


Franco Florenzi is a sleek, professional looking e-shop selling watches, bracelets and individual watch straps for both men and women. All the bracelets are what I'd call 'rope' style and many have a sweet nautical charm on. Very summery, very casual. Woo!


Lynsey, from Scotland, enjoyed her five years of university so much that she has opened up a YouTube channel giving weekly advice about all the trials and tribulations of studying and the student lifestyle. From help with your dissertation to tips for sleeping better, Lynsey has a lot to offer and is totally worth checking out. 


Beware! Clicking on Hayley's blog is gonna take a chunk of your time because you won't be able to not get sucked in. I just clicked on to have a quick swizz through and 20 minutes later I feel totally invested in her life and adore her sweet babes. This month I particularly enjoyed the post about the bits and bobs around her home (totally want a homeware spree now) and I appreciated how honest she was in her postpartum posts. Very refreshing. 


Preet's beautifully laid out blog is a pleasure to read through. I absolutely love the mix of beauty, lifestyle and inspiration and particularly enjoyed all the little happy Monday quotes. Laze Sundaze really is the kind of place you need to grab a smoothie and sit in for a good chunk of time. I just did and I feel all the better for it. Lovely lovely. 


I would describe Charlotte's site as a 'classic beauty blog'. It's light, airy, feminine, beautiful pictures, products you can't help but want to buy and good, well thought out copy. Her most recent Barry M post has made me reminisce about my love for those candy colour bottles of joy. The post I was most interested in (and infuriated by!) was about her terrible customer service in Boots. I'm so saddened to hear this happened and hope we are updated if it is resolved to a satisfactory standard!


Oops. My plan was to have a little flick through this blog and give you a feel for what you can expect and whether I like it or not. What I actually did though is hop over and become completely and utterly enthralled in the 'The Highland Fling', a post about a guy names M and how she almost made it with him but yanno, didn't. As a single gal myself, I can relate to dating disasters and loved the details of this baddun'. Better luck next time Charlotte. 


So lovely to have Judy back again this month and to continue delving into her blog which is an enticing space of everything that interests her. The layout is unique, the posts fresh and the copy easy to read. I found her post on job hunting quite interesting because I know how hard that is at the moment (my sister is looking for a job too) and it's refreshing to read something so frank and honest. I hope you find something super sparkly very soon!


Oh hello a boy! Vair vair exciting! Mikkel is a lovely chap who blogs about travel, fashion and lifestyle. If you go over for one thing at least, it should be the photography- it is b-e-a-utiful! I think my favourite type of post would have to be the 'Weekly Snaps' because I love a glimpse into people's lives and Denmark looks incredible at this time of year!


------

And there we have it, this month's beauties all wrapped up!

I hope you have lovely days and if you're in the UK, you are making the most of the sunshine!

Toodlepip!
