WINTER GRWM

Image
Hi guys! Winter is fast approaching and you all know what that means, It's almost christmas!! I am super excited about christmas and winter time. Don't get me wrong Autumn is my favourite month but I absolutely adore winter to. There are many reasons why I love winter but that is for another blog post. Other wise I think it will take you days to read this, anyway. I filmed my winter hair and make-up over on my youtube channel and this was the finished result. Bright bold lips and gold eyes with a smokey crease. I had a huge fail and had to film the beginning of the video this morning as I forgot to film the beginning the other day...oppps. Besides that it all went to plan and I think this is one of the best make-up tutorials I have filmed over on my channel. Products I used: Smash box - Water Primer Stila - One Step Correct Primer Nars - All Day Luminous Foundation in Siberia Collection - Lasting Perfection Concelar in Fair 1 NYX - Contour and Highlight Palette ...

NEVER GIVE UP

Image
Hi guys! I recently came across this quote online. It says 'Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about'. When reading this quote it really spoke to me.  Lately I have been doing a lot of deep thinking. I was sat on the sofa, munching on a toffee apple and contemplating my decisions in life. I was thinking wether I am doing the right thing going to university next year etc. I think about how excited I am about university but then I get incredibly anxious. So when I read this quote it made me think, I can't go a day without think about university so despite my anxious thoughts I won't give up and I will go to university, complete my course and, become the best make-up artist I can be.  I also feel the same way about youtube. I have had people say to me, you only have a few subscribers so why carry on filming videos. Youtube is something I am passionate about. sitting infant of a camera and speaking to you guys about how I am feeling i...

A VERY SPOOKTACULAR DAY

Image
Hi guys! October is one my favourite times of the year to be out and about on adventures. The leaves have turned autumny colours and the air is getting slightly more crisp each and everyday. We decided to have a family day out together and the first place we thought of for the autumn goodness was the lake district. So during the half term break, we all ventured off to the lakes. We wrapped up warm because we new, going up hills and around windy roads we would soon freeze. We firstly decided to go to windamere which is home to one of Englands largest lakes. The lakes are surrounded by mountains which always look beautiful. When arriving we firstly had a picnic and then went to a nearby shop to buy some bird food which, we all personlly thought was hamster food. I always feel sorry for wildlife when it gets closer to late autumn/ winter because they look so hungry. I wish we could've fed all of the birds. We went into a couple of shops...

MESSY HALF BUN

Image
Hi guys!! Lately I have been having a mess around with my hair. I really dislike my hair. It's very thin and has zero volume to it. It's as flat as a nail head. So I have been trying to think of different ways to wear it. I also dislike having my fringe over my face due to how long its gotten. Luckily I'm getting it cut tomorrow!! So I was thinking of different ways I can make my hair appear thicker. I firstky tried back combing it but hated it as it made my hair super notty. I then decided to curl it with my curling wand which I loved. I curled my hair from root to tip. Once it was all curled which roughly took me five minutes, I lightly brushed it through with a paddle brush then, I tipped my head upside down and made it appear scruffy by running my fingers through it. I then grabbed half of my hair and placed it in a bun on top of my head, pulled it out a little bit and made that appear scruffier and tadaaaaaa. My hair looks slightly thicker. Due to curling it,...

GETTING A KITTEN TIPS & ADVICE

Image
Hi guys!  In January of this year we was lucky enough to bring home two beautiful siamese kittens called Luna and Akira. Luna is a chocolate point Siamese and Akira a lilac point.  They were born on the 17th November 2015. When going to view the kittens initially, it was only my brother who wanted one however, Tony and I immediately fell in love with Luna.  She was incredibly calm and just wanted love. Whilst Akira was mischievous and wandering around! When I was a toddler, we owned a cat called Hazel but sadly, she was attacked by a fox so had to be put down.  Luna and Akira are the only cats we have had besides Hazel so, I thought I would give you a few tips and advice which I have learnt along the way. Choosing your kitten You can either get your cat from a breeder or a rescue centre. We opted for a breeder as we knew we wanted Siamese. You want to ensure the breeder you are buying of is gen...

CHESTER ZOO | GIRAFFE EXPERIENCE

Image
Where It All Began! Hi Guys! It was my Nanna's birthday in August so for a gift Tom, Tony and I all put to for a giraffe experience at the Zoo. She absolutely adored it. She was able to feed the giraffes and learn new things about them. One being that Giraffes have a blue tongue. This being because, in Africa they have always got there tongue stuck out eating. When it was pink it would often get sunburnt however, evolution  took over and made it blue so, that it repels the sun and they no longer have sun burnt tongues.  I find that very interesting.  We visited the zoo last week. It was only My Nanna, Grandad and I  as everyone else was working. The zoo isn't to far away from where we live and is called Chester Zoo. It's such an amazing zoo. They are always finding ways to improve the animals habitats and also ways to make the whole day better for those who visit. The animals have very large enclosures and you c...
