My favorite bloggers.

17:18

Blogging is something I have been doing on a non-regular basis for almost two years now, and although personally, I think it is quite hard to gain recognition here, I also think that it is a non competitive platform unlike most others at this moment.

Maybe I haven't explored the 'blogging industry' enough, maybe I just haven't come across obviously competitive people yet, maybe I'm right or maybe I'm oblivious. Even if I am all of the previous, today I am going to share with you some of my favorite bloggers at the moment and from them of who I gain most inspiration when I need it.


Lydia Elise Millen is a beautiful fashion Blogger and YouTuber from Northampton (I believe but correct me if I'm wrong) in England. She and her boyfriend Ali Gordon both own amazing fashion blogs with a few fitness posts added in from time to time. I have followed Lydia on social media for over a couple of years now, but only recently did I get addicted to her content. Both her and Ali's photography and Instagram feed skills are amazing. If you are looking for a very 'professional', clean and minimalist blog to follow you should definitely check them out.
Victoria Magrath also known as InTheFrow is an amazing writter and it really shines through among her blog. Not only that, she is absolutely stunning. In one of her recent posts she collaborated with Ted Baker and oh my, I am in love with the photos of her with the blonde short bob, doesn't she look like Becky of Coronation Street? Please don't tell me I'm the only one who sees the obvious resemblance!
Hannah Maggs is another blogger who's blog I love to give a read from time to time. I have made a YouTube video for Hannah and her family in the past and I have forever been in love with little Gracie. Here's a link to her blog, but here is also a link to the YouTube channel for which both Hannah and her husband Stef create amazing content each week with really well put together weekly vlogs with some mammoth photography skills and great silky montages (If you watch their videos already, you will see what I did there *wink wink*).

Emily Bashforth is another great blogger who's blogs are really frequent and well written. I feel like Emily writes for everyone, every age group, every personality kind and every genre. Throughout her blog you can find humor posts, fashion posts to more serious posts such as mental illnesses.

Have you already heard of these bloggers? If not, you definitely should give them a go. Who knows? They might become your favorites!

My favorite book.

17:00

          So today's topic of typing is my favorite book and do I have one? I don't think I do... As with films I don't really have a favorite, there are different ones I appreciate in different ways and for different reasons.
          If I really had to dwindle it down to two favorites they would definitely be Zoe Sugg's Girl Online books (as if you didn't see that coming) and After written by Anna Todd.
          These are two different but very similar types of books I don't want to get into detail about anything regarding any of these as I don't want to give anything away if you are wanting to give them a read.

(not my photo)
          I am going to say is that I am now aware of the fact that After was written based around the boys from One Direction, and if you know me, you know I am not a massive fan of them but I still totally recommend Anna Todd's books as so far, I have loved all of them.
          That said, sorry my posts have been shorter recently, I will try and add some longer ones in here and their when I have time and, quickly before I go, are their any books you recommend me giving a read? I do like reading when I have time and with summer just over a month away I can't wait to get stuck in to some amazing books!

My favorite month.

19:00

Hey! It seems like forever since I wrote up a blog post as all the previous are pre-written ... oops! But today the topic is "my favorite month" and am I the only one who doesn't have a favorite month? Each month is unique and I love each one for its individual quirks and wow that sounds so cliche, but aren't I right? I love October for Halloween, November for leaves falling, December for Christmas, January for all those "new year revolutions" and so on, is that only me?
I guess if I had to pick a favorite month, I would go for July, not only is it the month of my Birthday (something I am never quite excited about) but it is also a very happy month, it just seems very jolly and summery with all the warmth and positive vibes. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe its only me that thinks like that.


What is your favorite month of the year?

YouTube.

12:32


         YouTube has played a major part in my life since probably mid-2014. I remember somehow rocking up on Rebecca Ellie's channel and she became one of my first ever favorite Youtubers along side Bianca, at the time they both had probably around 4k subscribers and I remember I used to stalk them on a daily basis.
         In one of Rebecca's videos I remember her mentioning Zoella as one of her favorite YouTubers so I decided to google her and started off watching one of her Primark Hauls and then somehow I ended up on her vlog channel and then Playlist live with the British Gang, Troye, Tyler, Joey Graceffa, Miranda Sings and so one until I just got addicted. All I did back then was either school or swimming pool, YouTube, eat, YouTube, eat, sleep, YouTube and so on.
         I remember being a time when I was obsessed with Jack and Finn and I would watch their videos on repeat. Fun fact: I've watched their Rickshaw Run videos about three times and I'm not even guilty.
         During the end of 2014 I decided to upload my first ever video to YouTube being the Furry Friend Tag with Laila (which is still currently on my channel), I did actually film a haul and some kind of Halloween video before then but I never built up the courage to upload either of those. After uploading my first ever video with Laila I remember being getting really nice comments from my Intenet Friends and an amazing feedback and I never really worried about my "school friends" or "real life people" as my mum likes to call them and what they would say if they saw it. (Two years later and my brother is the only person who has seen / found my videos and I truly think it is only because he lives with me.)
         Since then I never really uploaded until October 2015 and I remember I pre-filmed about 7 videos for the whole week I was away in Portugal and I loved it, ever since I haven't given up although I do lack inspiration sometimes and struggle producing content, but every time I look and see that over 1000 let alone 100 people have seen potential and subscribed to my channel I feel so happy and so proud of myself in my own little way.
         I know I don't say it enough but I am so thankful to every single one of you who make me have a smile on my face everyday and support me through thick and thin. Thanks to YouTube I have met some amazing people who will hopefully forever be in my life, and as cringy as it may sound, thanks to YouTube I am now happy again. In 2014 I was going through a really rough time and knowing I could just switch off life and fall back on YouTube to make me laugh and smile really helped me out. Believe it or not, YouTube is an amazing platform and it has helped so many people and I just hope it continues this way for a long long time.
         To end of, here is a list of my most watched YouTubers at the moment (embrace yourself, there are quite a few, also, I have linked their main channels, but I'm loving the vlogs more):

Thanks again, you are amazing! xx

Easy & cheap drugstore makeup look.

21:49



Last Tuesday I was playing around with my makeup (as usual) when I came up with this look that I really liked and it was really easy to achieve so I thought I would share it with you!


To start of, and I'm not quite sure why I did it this way round, I used my ASTRA concealer to prime my eyes and then went straight in with the eye shadow. Using my Makeup Revolution London 'What are you waiting for?' palette and I applied the colour 'Take a chance' to my lid, and then applied a tiny bit of 'sex chromosome' to the crease and blended these together with my UD  brushes. For my lashes I used my Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara and applied the 'Normal' lashes from Primarni (aka, Primark).

Then I applied my holy grail foundation from Rimmel and I buffed this in with my Urban Decay foundation brush.


To my messy (horrible) brows, all I did was brush through them with my Loreal brow artist plumper.

Then to finish off I used my Minnie bronzer in the colour Terracotta and the W7 blush in the colour Galactic.

Some of the songs I've been loving

13:55



The songs I listen to frequently isn't a topic I talk about to anyone because here in Spain, its a 'weird' music taste because everyone is more into Pitbul or Cali and Dandee more than they are into Rihanna or Ed Sheeran, but as I know lots of people reading this post are from England or the United States and don't get me wrong, maybe even some Spanish people who may enjoy some of these songs so I'm going to put it out there, and share 15 with you (both albums and songs). 

& last but not least (please don't cringe) Spotify's disney playlist.
(Click any of the songs to be sent straight to the YouTube video)

Thanks for reading! Byeeeeee Xx
