Sunny Sunday's

Sunny Sundays are the best!

It's the day that I make sure I mostly have clear to do the things that I want to do. A little bit of me time. So whether that's being out in the garden, doing something beauty related, or going to the gym, I make sure that I do at least one thing that I really want to do.

Now given that it's such a lovely sunny Sunday (and I am a neat freak) I really wanted to give my garden a haircut! So I have made sure that I have done that today. Love looking out and seeing a nice smartly cut lawn :) Perfect picture of summer!

I am also going to the gym this evening. Those are the two things which I wanted to make sure I did this Sunday. I have joined a gym again! This is the first time in around 4 years, but I have to say so far I am thoroughly enjoying it, long may it last!

With the two things which I wanted to do out the way, I am just going to spend the rest of my day getting ready to go back to the normal Monday to Friday routine of work! How boring! Don't we all just wish that we could win the lottery and spend our days on sunny remote islands! Sadly 9-5 is the routine most of us live with.

I have got a little something though which may just brighten your 9-5 routine, or any morning routine for that matter!

Top tip for applying foundation in the hot weather! 

If you are keen on exercising in the morning like I am, or just generally you are in a hot building, I have taken to keeping my foundation in the fridge during the summer months. I've just popped it on one of the fridge door shelves. In the morning when I am applying my make-up I just grab my foundation out the fridge and pump it onto my make-up pallet and apply straight away. It's lovely if you are hot to apply something so cold to your face. And I would definitely recommend this to anyone who either lives somewhere hot, does exercise in the morning and finds their face gets hot, or just in general as a refreshing and awaken way of putting your make-up on!

Why not give it a go and let me know how you get on!

Don't forget that Friday night was upload night so there is a new video on my YouTube channel for you to have a look at! (Link is in my last blog post!) It's a lovely summery make-up tutorial.

Take care & speak to you soon

Friday night is upload night!

So this weeks look has been based around a summery theme. Since we are finally starting to experience something vaguely representing a summer, I thought that I would get this subtle eye look uploaded for you!

I hope that this is something that people will try out... especially if you have blue eyes like mine as the gold will really make blue eyes pop!

Have a little look....

See you soon

Saturday night.... apparently the new upload night!

Hello petals!

There's a new video out and about in the big wide world why not go and have a look!

These are all the products which I have been loving through out the month of May and the things which I want to recommend to everyone.

As always I hope that you enjoy!

Short and sweet with this post but I will check back in again tomorrow!

One busy busy week!

Hello petals!

Sorry it's been a little quiet my end this week, and unfortunately there is going to be a delay in getting this weeks video up, sorry about that.

I have had a super busy week this week, the short of it is that there is a lot of people away at the moment and there is a dog in my boyfriends side of the family and the only two people around to look after her were myself and my boyfriends Nan. Now because I do have a desk job as well as doing all the YouTubing and blogging on the side, I couldn't look after the dog during the day so we decided that it was best the dog stayed with Nan this week and that I just went over to walk her in the evenings as Nan's not able to! Nan lives 20 minutes away from us, so I have been going to hers every night this week after work and helping out, which meant I haven't been getting home until late at night by the time we had been and had dinner.

Unfortunately this arrangement was only sprung on the two of us at short notice so I didn't have time to get my video editing and ready to go up for this evening. So tomorrow I am going to be busy busy busy to make sure that it is up tomorrow evening for you all!

I will report back to base tomorrow when the video goes live so that you are all kept in the know about these things! I am also filming next weeks video tomorrow so that will be fun!

Other than that I hope that you have all had a lovely week and if you have had sunshine like it has been around here that you have been able to make the most of it!

I'll see you in tomorrows video!

A Passion for Creating

If you are anything like me you will understand where I am coming from.

I just have an out-right passion for creating, whether this is a make-up look, a sewing project, musically or anything else for that matter. All I want to do is get creating!

So based on this I am just here to update you on the YouTube videos, I have had a lot of comments on them and feedback from people, which is great. And I am so pleased that everyone is enjoying them so much.

I love making the videos and the whole process that goes with them, the editing, the filming.

If anyone has any tutorials which they want to see then just let me know.

I have had a few requests already which as soon as I have my new camera I will get those uploaded for you! I have had requests for an eyebrow tutorial, a demonstration of false eyelashes and another for eyeliner.

All of these will need close ups so that you can see what I am up to! So I promise as soon as I get my new camera with a decent zoom on it I will get these made and uploaded for you.

But if anyone wants any other tutorials or make-up look demonstrations then just let me know! Either leave me a comment on one of my videos, drop me a Facebook message or even a comment on here!

I hope you have all had a good start to the week! 

Keep smiling.

Friday night is upload night.... M.A.C Cosmetics!

Hello all!

You know the drill by now... Friday night is upload night! (Sorry that this is now Saturday, I had a few technical difficulties and fell asleep on my laptop at 1am trying to get this uploaded!)

Which means there's a new video - this weeks video is all about the M.A.C Cosmetics that I own, what I think of them and if I would buy them again or recommend them. I'm going to apologise now... this video is a little on the long side, sorry about that!

I hope people find this useful I have had requests to review the higher end products which I would recommend the most and would say are worth the money and M.A.C is my high end go-to so I got this video together for you!

Sorry that this video has been posted so late this evening... I have a few technical nightmares. Needless to say next week I am going back to having everything ready to go on Thursday night, so that when Friday comes all I have to do is hit the go button!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, as always I will check back in and let you know what I have been up to, as I have more celebrations this weekend. And then I promise that I won't drag this out any more! I just thought 23... might as well have 3 celebrations! 

As always keep smiling and stay positive :)

A beautiful birthday!

I have had the most amazing birthday this year, starting with all the support on here and on my YouTube channel! Thank you all for making this birthday so amazing by helping my top 1100 views on here and nearly 600 views on YouTube!

I spent the actual day with my Mum and had a wonderful day eating good food and spending hours chatting and catching up, before going fabric shopping for my next sewing project, and then coming home to find my other half had taken it upon himself to leave a trail of balloons throughout our home!

I feel so loved and have honestly just had the best time! Can't wait to spend this weekend with my family all together :)

I hope you have all had a good start to the week!

You've all made my birthday amazing :)

Thank you!

xoxo E

The best birthday weekend with the best friends!

This weekend marked the start of my birthday & celebrations. It's not a big birthday, it just happened that my family could all get together on a different date to my friends, hence giving me the opportunity to carry on the partying over two separate weekends (which I am definitely not going to complain about!)

This weekend our closest friends all came to stay (except a few who couldn't make it, and if you are reading this, you were very much missed!) and we had a great time. Just kept it nice and simple, bowling at the nearest ten pin, followed by a house party. Easily one of the best nights we have all had together as a group.

If you are wondering about how my outfit turned out... not as I had planned!

The shirt which I thought I was going to wear arrived but it wasn't how I expected it to be so I am returning it, which sent me into a miniature crisis, as at this point I had 45 minutes to get ready and nothing to wear!

In the end we settled on leather leggings, and a baggy white top, heels and my leather jacket.

And after the whole night I didn't get a picture for an OOTN post! What a Muppet! I will make sure that I get a picture and will post it at some point!

Bowling was fun as always, and the house party was great. My bestie suprised me with the most beautiful cake I have literally ever seen in my life! Check this beast out!

We also had a new addition to the group this time! We've been a solid group of friends for the last two-three years, but on the odd occasion we sometimes get new additions, and this was on of those occasions. The thing with our group is you will probably only fit right in if you have a touch of nuttiness to you! Which with our latest addition we instantly thought, you'll fit in, but we still weren't completely sure if she was going to be nutty enough... until she came out with Silvester Stalone being one of her top 5! Needless to say she is definitely now a solid part of the group!

I won't name names (to protect the innocent!) but M if you are reading this, thank you for making the effort to travel down to a birthday of someone you had never met before! I literally had the greatest time with you and I hope that we see a lot more of you soon! 

So once we'd been bowling and had the house party, we spent yesterday recovering by playing Mario Kart (32 race tournament! You guys are obsessed!) and people slowly drifted off and on their ways again, eventually leaving the solid (what was always the last 3 standing, but since we had a new addition) last 4 standing. The name game was one of my highlights! M how an earth you managed to guess Katie Price in about 4 questions I will never know!

If you haven't every played the name game, you need to try it, its great fun! Get a post it note or address label (that was all we had) and write a name of a celebrity on it, you then stick this to the forehead of someone else in the group and they have to try to guess who they are, we split our group into girls vs boys, first group to get both their celebrities won. The boys wrote down celebrities for both of us and we came up with ones for them. I had so much fun playing this game, great way to end the night!

I hope you are all had lovely weekends! If you haven't seen already there is a new video up on my YouTube channel why not scoot on over and have a look (there's a link to it in the previous blog)

Talk to you soon
