An Explanation..

Hey guys, 

So if any of you do actually follow our youtube channel, and have noticed that we haven't done a video in like yeaaaars, well i am hear to give you my explanation as to why i'm not uploading anymore, although i think mine, Jenny's and Annalee's reasons are the same to be honest. 

In our last few video's you will have heard us talking about going to college, and sorting things out for college, and i know that some of you will be thinking that it's 'not a good enough excuse' of whatever, but everybody is different. So because of college it has obviously reduced the amount of free time that we actually have, and in that free time i have to use it to keep up with college work, and to chill out! 

I didn't actually think that getting up at 6:30am would affect me as much as it has done to be honest because i thought that i would just be able to use all my free time to make video's and blog. But as the days went on, it got harder and harder to keep up with deadlines with college and youtube. 

If you do make video's and go to school/college or whatever then you will know how hard it actually is to first of all film the video where you look half decent, to then edit it and put it up on youtube can take such a long time, so i do hope that you understand where we are coming from. 

I personally don't think that i will be making youtube video's anymore, just because of all the pressure it puts me under, especially with the fact that i have to upload on a Tuesday because it means that i have to film it at the weekend, and if i have a busy weekend then i'm screwed basically, also I don't know what Jenny and Annalee are going to do, if they are going to carry on or stop completely or whatever.

It doesn't mean that i don't ever want to make a youtube video ever again, but just at the moment i want to focus more on college. I think that i am going to try and carry on blogging as much as i can because it is quicker and isn't as time costly as making a video, so i hope that is okay with everyone. But this doesn't mean that i am going to be blogging every day or every Tuesday, it's just something i'm going to do in my free time (if i have any!) 

I hope this is okay with everyone and i'm sorry if some people are upset about the change, and i'm sorry to all the new subscribers or old subscribers that want us to do more video's but just at the moment i think all three of us have so much college work to do that it's just not possible. I know that this explanation is well overdue as well so i'm sorry about that too. 

See you soooooon!

Quick Blog Post!

Hello, this is going to be a quick Blog post sorry, as I have homework to do. 

As you all know I started College 2 weeks ago, and I'm still settling in. Homework has also been playing a big part with taking up my time! So these reasons are why I haven't been uploading or blogging in a while, so I'm sorry. 

But anyway I have uploaded a video today, so if you want to check it out you can because I don't really have anything else to write about. I am going to go and do my homework now.

Talk soon,

What I Wore Today..

Hey Guys! 

So today's blog post i was again wondering what to talk about and thought that i would take a few picture's of my outfit today (sorry if this is boring!) but tbh i really liked my outfit today and wanted to share it with you. 

The Jacket 

So if you do follow our blog, then you will already know about this jacket from a previous blog post, but if you don't know about it, it is from miss selfridge and i got it for only £12! (if you want to find out more click here) 

The Top

I have literally had this top for about 2 years now and it's still going strong! I got it from dorothy perkins and it is such a nice top, it basically has a sleeveless plain white top underneath and a lace top attached over the top if you get me? hopefully the picture will explain it better.

The Leggings 

These were from newlook, not a long time ago actually, and they are so comfortable. They have a faded vintage floral/rose pattern on, and they are so nice! i don't think they were that much money as well! 

The Shoes

The shoes are from next, i think i have mentioned them in a video? i'm not sure. But they are a nude brogue style shoe, and they go with so many things! Just like noramal brogues would tbh. They are so comfortable, but i'm not sure if they are on the website, i can't remember finding them when i looked last time. 

The Jewelry 

I have put 3 rings on with this outfit, and my first one is one from primark (the one on the right) i think it was only £1.50 and i like the floral pattern on it. I also have my evil eye one from topshop (the one in the middle)  i think that was about £5 or something like that :L Then finally i have one that my mum bought me, but i can't remember where it is from, i am sorry. 

And this is my outfit as a whole..

So that was my outfit, i hope you liked it and you will probably see alot more of these now i am at college, sorry! Hope you liked this blog post, and i will see you in my next one. 

See you next week!

My experience with | Epilating!

Hello!

So today's Blog Post is going to be about Epilating, if you haven't already guessed. Today I was epilating my underarms, and thought it could be a helpful Blog Post for our readers. This is going to be my honest opinion, so here goes.. 

Background information: 

I started shaving my armpits at a young age, the first time I shaved them was in Year 7 (Aged 11/12), and oh how I regret it. Because I am brunette my hair grows back very fast and it usually returns thicker and darker. So because of this I decided in Year 10 (Aged 15/16) I wanted to get my armpits waxed, because it stops the hair growing back so fast, as the hair is being pulled from the root as appose to shaving where the visible hair is being chopped off. I must admit the first time I got them waxed, it hurt! But after having them done 4/5 times, I no longer feel the pain. I love waxing because I find it doesn't hurt too much and lasts for a long time. Although in between waxing, I hated having to shave again. So one day my Mum bought an Epilator in the Debenhams sale.. 

The Epilator:

This is the Epilator my Mum bought, originally £110-£130, reduced to £70 in the Debenhams sale. 

Basically it comes with two Epilator's one for your legs etc and another for your armpits and the girly area. Although I only use them on my armpits, as my leg hair doesn't grow back very quickly! For more information on this Epilator click here.

My Opinion: 

Personally I don't really mind epilating in between waxing, because the hair hasn't really grown back too quickly, therefore there isn't as much hair for the Epilator to pick up. Although when you haven't waxed, and have let your under hair grow, so the epilating works best, its another story.. IT HURTS LIKE CRAZY! I just epilated my armpits today, and I literally wanted to cry! I think you have to have a strong thresh hold to epilate under your armpits (I don't) ha. 

After Epilating: 

After epilating I usually just moisturize under my armpits just so they aren't as red. I must admit after epilating your armpits will be very red and will sometimes bleed, just warning you. But once you have slept they will look lovely and smooth in the morning, I would not recommend epilating before a night out as they tend to look very red and sore! I think epilating doesn't last as long as waxing, although they claim it lasts 4 weeks, but personally I feel it only lasts 2 weeks, but everyone is different. But I would highly recommend epilating as an alternative to shaving!

Anyway this has been my review on epilating, if you have any other questions then please ask! Hope this has given you a good review on epilating etc. 

Also my video this week..

My Day..

Hello, 

So i was sat here thinking of things i could write about, but i didn't really like any of the idea's i was coming up with and i didn't really feel like writing about them things, so i thought as i have had sort of an interesting/exiting/i have actually done something with my day, i thought i would tell you about it! 

So first off, if you want to know about what i wore out, i have done an OOTD over on our channel, if you want to see it then click here. 

But today i also went to the cinema with some friends and we went to see the new Keith Lemon movie, and i thought i would share my opinion with you about the movie. In my personal opinion i didn't enjoy the movie as much as i thought i would, i didn't really get it but i did quite like the story line thinking back now. I think the only thing that made the movie good was the amount of celebrities that were in it. But i do have to say that i did think some bits were funny but i personally wouldn't go to see it again or buy it on dvd when it comes out. These are only my opinions and i know that there will be other people who have different views on the film, but these are just my own so please don't have a go at me for them. 

And that was pretty much it, i haven't really done much else with my day, but that for me is an 'exiting' day :L as i said in my video, my camera isn't letting me put my video's onto my laptop and i am so confused and i don't really know what is going on, but i am hoping that i will find out the problem and fix it so i have a decent video for you next week! 

Once again i am sorry for the video's not being as good this past two weeks so hopefully i will be back on track next week! 

See you in my next post,

Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter!

Wow it seems like I haven't done a blog post in ages! But anyway if you haven't guessed by the title of this blog post, it is going to be Harry Potter related. 

So on Saturday 25th August 2012, I went to The Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter! And it was literally the best day of my whole entire life seen as I have grown up with Harry Potter. If I had to  describe the day in one word it would be 'magical', it's just so amazing and eye opening! You learn so many new facts and appreciate all the hard work that went into the film making of the Harry Potter films!

This is a very quick blog post, simply because I'm tired as it took me 2/3 hours to get to London (there and back). But lastly I highly recommend going if you love Harry Potter, it's a great family day out and it's so fun! It so amazing I'm planning on going with my friend again next Year!

Anyway here are a few snaps, bye.

I'm Loving My Jewelry

Heeey! 

So i was thinking about what blogpost to do today, and as i have been shopping recently and got some new jewelry and i'm just really loving all my jewelry old and new! 

So i thought i would just kinda show you what i'm loving really :L sounds silly, but i thought you might like it hahah :L 

So first i have a new purchase, which is in my new haul, if you want to watch it then click here. But this is from 'Diva' the range from Miss Selfridge and it is just a simple gold cross on long black material. I just think it is so nice, simple and effective and i love it! 

Next is some bracelets that i am really loving at the moment, they are like little stone/rocks all round the bracelet all kind of different shades of the same colour. I just think that they look really nice with a bunch of different bracelets as well, you can find them anywhere, i got one of them from a museum so i am sure if you want one you can find one! 

The next thing is a ring from topshop, it is another cross piece i am sorry i like crosses! :L but this is a two fingered ring, i'm not sure what you call them :L but it covers two fingers if you get what i mean? but i think it is personally so nice and i love it! 

The next piece is a recent purchase from my collective haul and it is a watch from Argos that i absolutely love! we went in, not thinking we would find much, but after actually looking in the catalogue i fell in love with this watch and it was only £9.99! 

Now the last piece is my evil eye ring that i absolutely love! i just think it's so quirky and different, even though i know that loads of people have it but i still think it's cool! 

So here is my blogpost, i hope you like it! let me know if you like things like this because tbh i loved doing it! See you in my next post!

Hair Situation!

Sunday the day of rest... Not for me I've been up since 9, oh the joys of early morning lawn mowers! Anyway as you might have guessed from the title of this blog post I need your help with a 'hair situation' of mine. 

Basically my hair is brown with bits of ginger (which I get from my Mum), its very very very straight naturally and it has no volume at all! At one point I used to love my hair for being like this, as it was so easy to style and never annoyed me, but seen as my hair has grown a considerable amount over the past year, the natural hair I have seems to make me look drained or just make me look like a chipmunk (not good!!)

Because of this dilemma I always seem to be waving my hair (not all the time, but every so often because split ends will be the death of me!). So I thought you know what Jenny, why don't you just get a wavy perm? So I've been looking into wavy perms/permanent waving for the past year or so now, I can't find a decent video on YouTube or even a Blog Post, which makes it difficult to research. Although I do have a image in my mind of what I would want my hair to look like. 

So anyway, why am I telling you this. Well I want to know what you think? I also wanted to write this to see if anyone has had it done and has any advice etc for me. I know this idea/style won't be to everyone's taste, but I just really want to know if you guys like the idea or think it is silly? I would really appreciate it if you left your comments down below telling me your opinions, it would be a huge help. Also don't just agree with me because you think you have too, please voice your opinions, if you don't like it then please say. 

The only reason I'm considering getting a wavy perm/permanent waving is because I want a change and I also just want to wake up in the morning and not have to do anything with my curlers etc. I also sway to getting it because it would be so easy for College seen as I will have to get up at 6 every morning, ah!

 Anyway here's a picture of my hair length at the moment and how I would want my hair to look like:

My hair length, it has been waved in
this picture.

How I would like my hair, this would
be the picture I took into the hair-
dressers. 

So as you can see this is the style I would like, I just think its so nice but so simple, but you will obviously all have your own opinions on it. The only thing that really scares me about having it done is I don't want to be curly and I don't want it to take that much length of my hair seen as it is a 'perm'. But I guess I will have to discuss all that with my hair dresser.

Also (God this is a long Blog Post) I was thinking about maybe getting my hair ombred, but this I'm on the fence about because I love the way it looks on Zoella (YouTuber and Blogger) but I just don't think it would suit me the same? I have loved the ombre look for quite a while now but on other people. The only reason I haven't opted to get it is because I have really straight hair but if I got it waved it might look nice and also because my Mum doesn't really like it, which is a sort of down side. But I don't know, this probably won't happen. Please leave your opinions on this below also. 

Here's a picture of how I would want my ombre hair to look like:

I know this is Zoella's picture and I probably shouldn't use it
but I just love her hair and if I got mine ombred I would like it
like this, because its not to blonde.

Thank you for reading this long Blog Post, hope you all leave a comment down below to help me with my hair situation! See you all next Sunday.

Summer Dresses!

yes its Saturday today, not Friday.. but I completely forgot about the Blog! please don't hate me.. but I am here now! 

I am really into summer dresses right now, it been really hot and there the only thing that seems to be cool enough! so I this my favourite way to wear summer dresses..

The dress is from 'Topshop', but it is a little short for me.. I think I've grown!

I put my denim shirt from 'next' on with it, and tied it at the waist

 I just wore my black lace shoes, from H&M with it, as they are very simple!

As you can see, it is short, but the shirt draws your attention away from it!

if you would like to see the full outfit, then I filmed an OOTD!

This is just a quick Blog post, but hope you liked it!

My Outfit Of The Day

Okay so i am sorry if this isn't one of my better blog posts, but i do rather like my outfit so i thought i would show it on our blog as well! 

So my top is from topshop and i love it! it is a sleeveless check shirt, with white poppers for buttons. In this outfit i have chosen to wear it buttoned to the top tucked into my jeans. I do like this look a lot as you already know. My jeans are from miss selfridges, they are Acid Wash Super Skinny jeans and they are so nice and comfortable! And i thought that the top personally looked better tucked in. I wore my white high top converse shoes with this outfit, but i would also wear creepers with it as well :) 

Here is my only photo of the outfit i am sorry

Again i am sorry that this isn't one of my better blog posts, and next week i will be on holiday so there will be no blog post or video from me! So i will see you in two weeks timeeee!

Dip Dye..

it's Friday, Fridaaay.. Hello once again, I'm going to get straight to the point of this Blog post, which is a first! so as the title rightly says, dip dye! before anyone starts to panic, I have NOT dip dyed my hair.. but I have tested it out a little..

My mum has red/purple hair so she bought her usually dye, and had some left over, so we thought we would test it out on me! so I have been wanting to do something like this for a while but I always back out! 

Basically I have dyed a small strand of hair to see what it would look like, and wanted to get your guys opinion on it!

 This is the hair that I dyed, it came out really bright.. even though I have dark hair! 

Again the hair, but with my face in it

The hair dyed that we used, in '35 real red'  

(Ignore my top, I had to wear an old one!)

But yeah tell me what you think of it, should I do it all? do you think its becoming to common? or do I dye it all a darker brown?

The Bargains Of All Bargains!

Okay so i know that this blog post will go up before my video, but i am going to be talking to you about a denim jacket that only cost £12! 

So there we were, me and my mum, just browsing through the sale rail in miss selfridges, nothing really catching our eyes and then in the middle of all the dull boring clothes BAM the nicest denim jacket ever! So i had been thinking about getting a denim jacket for a while now, just because i thought it would be great to chuck on and would go with most things. So there it was, the nicest denim jacket i had seen and it was just in the size i wanted, it was destiny! 

I new i would be particularly fussy with finding a nice denim jacket, because i didn't want it to be short/cropped and i wanted it to be a nice colour/shade, but as soon as i saw it, it was perfect! there wasn't anything wrong with it, it was just what i wanted!! 

Okay so there is a little story behind this as you may already know from my video if you have seen it but it was originally £40 but it was in the sale to SAVE £12 therefore it would be £28. But when we went to the checkout the lady put it in as £12 so i got a £40/£28 denim jacket, for £12!! Me and my mum only noticed as i was trying it on later that day! 

I will be sure to do an Outfit Of The Day with this don't worry! but it may feature in a few sorry! i just think that it is a timeless piece and i will be able to wear it all the time with whatever outfit! Plus i love the way it looks on, because i have got it in a larger size so it is more baggy and so i can layer with it. 

I hope you have liked this Blogpost and if you do like this jacket then i will leave a link for you! See you next weeeeeeek!

Every Girl Is Beautiful.

Recently I’ve been noticing how much girls think they’re not good, pretty, perfect enough. This really saddens me.

Tumblr really makes me realize this, I’m not going to lie I’m one of those girls who reblogs depressing things e.g. ‘Wish I looked like you’ or ‘I’m never good enough’ but now I think about it why do I do this? I think it’s because I’m not ‘society’s’ or ‘the boy I like’s’ ideal of good enough, pretty or perfect. I know millions of other girls feel like this at some point in their lives, but why should we!?

..Because what is BEAUTIFUL? What is the definition of beautiful? Who decides what beautiful is and isn’t? I think the quote, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ explains this well. You’re not going to be everyone’s ‘type’ but you will be someone’s, and you will be beautiful in their eyes, not necessarily everyone else’s, but why should this matter when you’re already perfect in someone else’s eyes.

Basically every girl is beautiful even if they don’t see it themselves; it just takes the right person to see it. So girls.. Stop calling yourself ugly, fat and not good enough! And start seeing the positives when you look in a mirror instead of the negatives and smile because you can! And if one boy/girl breaks up with you, calls you a name or doesn’t give you a second look, don’t cry about it because their obviously not worth it and defiantly doesn’t deserve you!

I hope this has given you all something to think about and possibly all given you a little bit of self-confidence! If you have anything you want to ask or need advice, don’t be scared to post a comment below, I’m happy to help.

If you go away remembering one thing from this blog post; please make it this.. ‘YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!’

Outfit Of The Day!

Hey guys, I am going to apologise before hand for this ridiculously short and rubbish Blog post, but I have been so busy this week, I don't know what has happened really! but anyway you don't want to know my whole life story..

As a family we have started to just jump on trains and go well.. wherever we want, and on our latest venture, we ended up in Carlisle! which is a lovely place, and is very nice for shopping (all I seem to do is shop these days!) but it was actually a really nice day out, and does have a lot of history within the small town, perfect for mum&dad's like mine, that like to go round museum... but this is what I ended up wearing!

p.s my next Blog post, will be a lot better.. promise 

Creepers, to be or not to be?

Okay, so i know that some people with either love or hate creepers, but i personally really like them!! And i know that some of you reading this will be asking yourself 'Well why are you writing this post?' Well, i have asked a lot of people on their opinions about them, and i have had a very split decision. My mum and Jenny and some other friends have said 'NO DON'T GET THEM' Whereas some other of my friends have said 'YES GET THEM' And i don't know what to do?! I think i am going to get them, but my mum always seems to be right about everything (which is really annoying sometimes -.- :L) and i just don't want her to be right about them :/ but she has a very different style to me so therefore i think i have come to the decision that i am going to buy some creepers! :D 

I personally think that they would go with sooooo many of my clothes. Because i have a very strange sense of style :L i like, some may call it, grunge style clothing, but also i love the whole vintage, preppy look :L and i know that they are two very different styles, but i love both of them! But as i have A LOT of pairs of shorts, i personally think that they would go with so many of my clothes! 

I wouldn't personally get the ones with the leopard print on, i would get the plain black ones because i think they would go with more, but i love these jeans and i think that they just go so well! 

I wouldn't get these thick of soles, i would get the thinner ones. But i absolutely love the colour of these! But i am not talking about the real creepers, i would get fake ones :L i am sorry if you don't believe in fakes or anything like that, but tbh i have been told by a friend that has creepers, that the fakes are fine and comfortable, so i'm not going to use my money on getting real ones, when some fakes are just as good :) 

I know that this blog post will have not been to some people's taste and they may have not enjoyed this post, i am sorry but i thought i would let you know and if you want to leave your opinions about creepers, then leave a comment bellow and i will listen to everyone's point of view :) But i do think that i will be getting someeee :D so watch out for a haul with them in ;) see you in my next post!
