50 Random Facts About Me TAG! | Video

I’ve loved catching up on YouTube videos since I’ve been home, and my absolute favourite had to be the ’50 Random Facts About Me TAG’ that’s been floating around. As always, Esteé from EssieButton had me in stitches watching hers and I just couldn’t not give it a whirl.

I tend to be a bit more reserved regarding bits and bobs about me personally, but I thought it might be quite nice to share some of my oddities with you lovely lot. I know I love these sort of things, just because you feel like you get to know the person behind the beauty talk & posey fashion shots a little bit more :). I feel like I’ve made some really lovely friends through this whole blogging world, and I would love some of you to take part so I can get to know you all better too! I've tagged two fellow bloggers I know have YouTube channels :) Zoe of Zoenewlove and Charlotte from Lilmisschickas

It was quite tricky thinking of 50 facts though, I think I went a bit too far with the whole boxer shorts thing….no? ;) 

My Australia Haul | Zara, Topshop, The Body Shop & more!

I thought you lovely lot might want to see the bits I picked up :) the majority of it is clothes, but there are a few beauty products thrown in there too. Whilst I was in Australia I thought it was appropriate to spend all my spending money on clothes. Apparently, when you're abroad it doesn't matter how much you spend. (Please Note: I am now on a spending ban for the rest of life).

I really enjoyed filming again - it felt like forever! As always - if you have any particular requests for video's please do let me know :)

I'm currently still in bed - and not really sure I'm going to do much else than that today. I'm being a proper lazy bum. Fantastic Mr. Fox and a cup of tea, thank you very much.

My Christmas Party Make Up Routine

Happy Sunday my lovelies! 
This weekend has been a rather fab one. Friday I received my Photography course results and passed with Distinction! I was so happy I definitely did a little dance at work. I worked my little tooshy off to get a good final project so I'm really happy that I managed to get the grade I did.
I also received my first feature in a local magazine about Wonderful You - a three page spread! I KNOW - I nearly died. I think I'll pop a little post up showing you guys, that's if you want to see it :)
Lastly - I went out on Friday night and used an old handbag that's been gathering dust over the past few months. It only had a bloomin' £10 note in it! (it's the small things, eh?)

Anyway - following on from my mum's birthday party a few weeks ago, I got a few questions on my make-up for the evening....

I thought I would film a little video on how I wore it that night. I've been in hiding from YouTube for a while. My skin has gone mental again so I've felt a bit self conscious, it's still not great but i've decided to just suck it up :)

Hope you enjoy and have all had a wonderful weekend! 

My Daily Skincare Routine | Video

Good Afternoon my loverlies! Hope you all had a fab weekend and that you're not suffering from the Monday Blues :) Today actually feels like it's mid week, I'm surprisingly chirpy!

Anyway...I've filmed another video for y'all. It's my Daily Skincare Routine, which I've recently changed up. I've said a sad goodbye to Clinique and a warm hello to a new brand. If you want have a little nose, go have a watch. I've listed all the products in the down-bar of the video, if you want to read up more about them :)

I also received some rather disturbing comments on my channel yesterday; I was really shocked, being the first derogatory comment on any of my videos - but I suppose it was always going to come, nonetheless I did feel a little bit ill at what they said. (if you want to see the comment, I did post one of the screen shots on twitter). I think using the big wide web to discuss your passions can be a bit of a dangerous ball game, you definitely have to be thick skinned and let the negativity roll off you. I thought I would always be able to do that, but it did leave me a bit worried. Anyhow, on-wards and upwards and their vile comments have been reported and the user blocked from my account. I'll have none of that nastiness thank you very much :) 
Have a lovely week you lot, and please do let me know if there's any other videos you'd like to see?

How I Curl my Hair | Tutorial | Video

Hi Ladies! (and gents, if you're reading :)),

So, I had quite a few requests on one of my outfit posts of how I achieve this hairstyle:

HEY sister :)

So I thought, what better way than to film a video of me doing it :)

I hope you guys found it helpful, I really cannot swear by the Enrapture Totem Styler enough. You can achieve so many looks with it, and in my eyes it's worth every penny :). If you wan't me to film any other kind of tutorial's please let me know! 

And it's actually on sale with Very at the moment for £37, click here to grab a bargain!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend? I was a busy bee, attending house warming's and spending pennies in the Bullring at Birmingham...(outfit post to come ;) )

I've also got something I'm a little bit excited (and nervous) about, coming up on this little old blog in the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled!

Daily Hair Care Routine | Video

This is my hair:

Over on my little YouTube channel, I have had many a request to film my 'Hair Care Routine'. I am warning you now, be prepared to waste about 5 mintues of your life if you watch this video, because I probably have the most boring, plain routine known to man! 

Like most things in my beauty regime, I like to keep my hair care quite simple. And although I love trying and testing new products, in all honesty I am very lazy, so once I find something that really works for me I stick to it. In my experience, too much product is definitely not the way forward. Keeping it simple leaves my hair full and manageable! 

Hope you guys enjoyed it :) all the links to the products I use are in the down bar of the video content, should you wish to read up on them in further detail!

What about you...Do you have any hair care products you couldn't live without? :)

My Daily Make-up Routine | Video

So this is my face without make-up:

Not a pretty sight! But I had quite a few requests to film a 'Daily Make-up Routine' on my YouTube channel, so here it is...

I probably should've saved this video for a day where I wasn't recovering from the flu, or had only 4 hours sleep, but filming it once was more than enough for me!!
It's taken quite a bit of guts to post my naked face on the internet for all to see, so if you're feeling in a bit of a mean mood, it would be lovely if you didn't say anything haha. (I know I have serious bags and spots going on, blergh).

My make-up routine hasn't changed for a LONG time, I kinda just stick to what I know, so if anyone has any tips for me please let me know :) would love to learn a few new tricks.

Monthly Favourite's | July | Video #7

This picture is completely irrelevant to the post, but I’ve been playing around with my new camera lots this weekend; and I loved the little bumble bee hiding…can you spot him?

Anyway, I know as always I am hugely late for monthly favourites but here it is for your perusal, should you so wish :)

My fave products for the month have turned out to be really quite expensive, which wasn’t at all on purpose. Apologies for that!

Have you all had a lovely weekend? Mine consisted of a small gathering of friends last night, and being hugely lazy for the rest of it, perfect in my eyes. I’ll be jetting off on my holidays in 2 weeks’ time; so in all honesty I’m just trying to be super good with my monies. I.e. not spending anything, unless it’s completely necessary *cough* anything in the sale *cough*….Yeah I suck at reigning it in.

Primark Haul | Video #6

Good Afternoon wonderful people. Hope you're all fine & dandy? 

I’m feeling that I’m now on a bit of a roll with my new swishy camera! So I couldn’t resist filming another one, to show you lot what I picked up at oh holy Primark; or Primarni as so many of us like to call it.

I’ve put myself on a complete spending ban for the foreseeable future and these few bits I picked up were purchased through a teeny bit of birthday money I received. A whole £27 to be exact! So it doesn’t count, does it? Okay good. 

I think I managed to bag quite a few bargains, eh? What about you, have you picked up any good’uns recently?

Next stop – Holiday Shop!! (my favourite kind) ;)

Messy Up Do | Bun Tutorial | Video #5

Wahooooo, it’s Friday! I don’t know about anyone else, but how bloomin’ long has this week been?! I haven’t looked forward to a weekend so much in a long time. 

Anyway, here’s video #5 for ya’ll. It’s my first tutorial, so be kind. I felt a bit silly doing it, but every time I film a video I always ask at the end if anyone fancies seeing anything in particular, & the only thing that’s ever asked is ‘please can you do a bun tutorial’. There’s got to be over a million & one videos of girlies showing you how they achieve this look, but for some reason you guys wanted to see mine....

So, without further ado *inserts drum roll* here it is….me looking like a complete plonker in front of the camera :) 

Haha, hope I don't look like too much of a fool!! 
Have you lovely lot got much on this weekend? I’m keeping my fingers crossed the sun keeps on shining! 

My 23rd Birthday Gifts | Video #3

Hellooooo Wonderful ones, so here's my third youtube video for you to have a nose at! Is it okay to post my YouTube videos on my blog? Not sure if it's the 'done' thing or not? Let me know if it's a pain / if you as my blog readers aren't really interested in video's :)

I asked in my previous video, if anyone would like to see one on what I got for my birthday. Everyone that commented said 'yes perlease', so gotta keep y'all happy righty? I was a little apprehensive to post it, as I didn't want it to come across as 'ooh, look what I got for my birthday', because that's genuinely not what it was for; it was just so you lovely lot could see all my new bits, sort of like a haul! So, without further ado, here it is:

Again, super sorry for the CRAP quality. Seriously, I have no idea what I'm doing with youtube or making videos. If anyone wants to give me some guidance, it would be HUGELY appreciated. for example, why the hell does it take 5 HOURS to upload an MP4 file on a PC; & when I change the file format to AVI. for a speedier upload, does it lose all it's quality? I just don't know :( *sobs* here is my cry for help guys!!

Anyhoo, hope you enjoyed it :) I was spoilt rotten & have some seriously lovely people in my life! I'm literally so excited to use my new SLR.


Do you have any other requests for videos you'd like to see?


What's on your Birthday wishlist?


P.S. How on earth do I make my preview of my videos larger? (like you can with images?) 

Beauty & Clothing Haul Video

Hi Lovelies! 

So here's my second YouTube video! Eek.. Firstly, let me apologise for the AWFUL quality, I look like a ghost & on my computer it comes out really blurred (obviously suck at technology). I've just got a new camera, so hopefully I'll be producing some higher quality video's soon. Please let me know if you think it's too rubbish to film ones like these, & i'll stop using it :)

It's a bit of a mixed haul on some bits and bobs I've picked up recently; featuring beauty products from Superdrug & a mixture of clothing from various shops.

Hope you enjoy it! If you've got any suggestions for any more videos you'd like me to film, just let me know in the comments below.

Have you bought anything new recently? I've put myself on a bit of a spending ban for the next month or so. My blog is constantly my excuse to purchase anything & everything! ;)

A Stupidly Late May Favourites!

Right, so I'm totally aware that we are now approaching the middle of June, but bear with me here...

I've decided to delve into the wonderful world that is YouTube. Eek, scared is not the word, & I probably sound/look like a complete numpty, but hey ho, I wanted to give it a shot. & if you don't try, you'll never know, right? :)

So, here they are, my monthly May faves:

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam, Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula, Bioderma Crealine H2O, Lollia Hand Cream

If you fancy it, have a little watch of the video, & let me know what you think! Hoping it will be a thumbs up :) If you don't fancy it, I've linked all the products in the caption thingy, so you can have a look at them. If you'd like me to do a full post on these, let me know too!
