I'm Free!

Bonjour Gals,
So I'm free!! No more exams. I had my last one on Monday- media, I think it went ok although I didn't colour it most of my storyboard. Hey ho I can't change it now. Comment down below if you had your media exam on Monday and how you think it went. 
                  
So now that exams are all out of the way we can begin to think about Summer and how we're gonna spend these next 11-12 weeks. woooooooo. I have got so many things planned for this month and of course I'm going to be blogging about all of it. With things as simple as reading all the Harry Potter books (surprisingly something that I've never done), aswell as dishing out 100 compliments in a day. I'm going to leave you a sample of things that you can expect me to be blogging bout in the next few weeks below.

- Tie Dye some T-shirts
- Make  a Candy pizza
- Get in shape
- Learn to cook (I am quite a poor chef to be honest)
- Tie messages to balloons and let them go
- Dye my hair blue! 
- Watch all the Harry Potter movies one after the other- a whole 22 hours!!
- Make a YouTube channel. (maybe?! Please show me some support with this because it's quite scary)


Let me know down below what cool things you'll be getting up to this summer, I'd love to hear about them.

Bad News & Good News.

Hey Gals,

Firstly, I want to apologize that I haven't been posting much lately. There's lots of things been going on over the last 2 months. However there is some bad news, I'm afraid that Exam Season is starting for me on Monday and so for the next 1 month, I'm really going to be concentrating on revision and getting good grades in my exams. 

                      I can promise that the day I have my first exam I will be updating regularly. And by regularly I mean like every couple of days. This Summer will be one of the longest breaks I have between college or whatever ever, so I'm going to try and do lots of things. I'll tell you all about my plans for the Summer in a month. I can't wait to document everything and share it with you guys. 

                        Later today I'll post one more time before I have to log off for a month. :(

Please look out for that and I'm sure you'll join me in saying 'Bring on Summer'.

Leah - Pentatonic Pelly.

American Goodies!

As you may know, if you follow me on Twitter or Pinterest my brother and his girlfriend recently went to America for a fun packed city escape to New York. While they were there they bought some lovely things for moi and so I decided to share them with you in this post.

This a bag which they bought me from the Hershey store. As you will tell when you read on I have a real LOVE for Hershey's chocolate so this is why they bought me this. It is quite a large, structured bag, similar to the 'bag for life's' you can get here in the UK. I particularly love how the image of the cartoon chocolate looks quite retro.

Maybe, I should explain before I talk about this one. Previous, to when my brother and Kayleigh went into the Hershey store they had been struggling of what to bring me back from America so when they went into this chocoholics heaven they thought they would buy me a lot of Hershey stuff because they know that I absolutely love it. Plus, over here where I live it is quite expensive as everything is imported :(

So pictured above is a giant Hershey Kiss. Yep 198g of solid milk Hershey chocolate. It looks so pretty in it's box though so I really don't know when I will actually eat it.

This t-shirt I actually asked if they could bring me back.It's a Guardians Of The Galaxy burn out tee from Forever 21. I am in LOVE with this. It so brilliant- it's going to be perfect to throw on in the summer with some shorts and your hair in a cute messy bun. If any of you gals have watched this amaaaaaazing film then drop me a comment below- I think it's great. I watched it last night actually. It is one of the only Marvel films that I actually enjoy apart from the new 'SpiderMan' Movies but that's mainly because Andrew Garfield is super hot.

They also brought me back this amazing jumper that is just perfect for the spring time. It's a jumper but it's not really thick- I just know it's going to be brilliant for them mornings where it's freezing but by dinner time it's really warm. This was from American Eagle Outfitters.

They bought me these typical tourist souvenirs. Sorry if your are from America and arelooking at this and thinking why the hell is she getting excited about this stuff but yeah, I love these.

The cute key ring pictured to the left is really nice and you'll probably see it on my backpack in some pictures soon. I don't know whether you gals know but I have this collection of snow-globes that I've had since I was like 9 maybe and it just keeps on growing, so much so that I have to keep the majority in a box and swap and change them once in a while. So yep, this is another gorgeous snow-globe to add to my growing collection.

And finally the last two things-both Hershey of course. They bought me 2 classic bags of Hershey kisses (my favourite), 'Cookies n Cream' and milk chocolate, and a huge bottle of Hershey's chocolate flavour syrup. I can't wait to try out this syrup on pancakes or waffles... with strawberries. Mmm. Keep checking my Instagram and you'll probably see one of them within the next week :)

Thanks for reading, remember to share my blog with your friends if you enjoyed this and follow me on my other sites. 

I now have a Tumblr so give that a cheeky visit if you want

Winter Walks With my Besto

Hey guys, I know I've been absent from this bog for quite a while now, but I've literally had loads to do. i'm so sorry but I hope that I'll be posting more regularly from now on.

As some of you guys may know in England we had quite a bit of snow last week and so my school ended up closing early. Me and my friend decided to go for a walk and spend the rest of the day taking photographs of the pretty white stuff, so I thought I'd share with you some of the pictures I took. 

Beth's wearing: leggings & Hat: Primark, Coat:Matalan and Purple Doc's by Goldigga. I don't know which top she had on :L

I'm wearing jeans:Next, plain black long sleeve basic top: Primark, black & green checked coat:Matalan, Some random pearl scarf and hat set that I can't remember where it's from and my look a like Doc martens which are made by Goldigga.

I hope you enjoyed this post. There's more to come later this week :)

Oh Oh Oh guys, I'm going to do a redesign of my page during my week off from school soon. Which includes a new colour scheme and name as I don't particularly like the name I have now. If you come up with any ideas of things I should call this blog then contact me on one of the above websites.

Graze Box.

 

Towards the end of last year I subscribed to Graze - a company that sends you 4 carefully selected healthy alternative snacks in a box delivered straight to your door. Considering that one of my New Year's resolutions  (a link to 'My New Years Resolutions' will be below)was to start being healthier, I thought I'd share with you what the Graze box is also about and what I like about it.

 

I am subscribed to the 'Nibble Box' where you can choose from the maximum variety of snacks and it really gives you a chance to try out everything. I chose this one because I didn't have a clue what to pick at first as there are loads of different ones to pick from, e.g. chocolate box (balancing chocolate with wholesome snacks), Sugar count box (every snack is 10% under your RDA of sugar- so that it's easy to keep track of) and the breakfast box...well I think you'll be able to guess what's in that one :)

 

Graze is brilliant at being in control of when you want your boxes, for example my subscription is for every 2 weeks. However, sometimes I forget about them and I'm then swimming in Graze boxes for a week. When this happens I simply 'book a holiday'. No, unfortunately this doesn't mean that I pack my suitcase and travel to the Bahamas while my cat feasts on healthy snacks for a week. It means that I can tell Graze that I don't want my box being delivered for a couple of weeks (this is also great if you are actually going on holiday).

 

Graze's snacks are delicious. Being a real desert fiend I particularly like the flapjacks, Graze's heavenly brownie and the snacks that contain chocolate :) However, I have also been loving the 'Super Berries',  'Jalapeno Hot Chips' and 'Brilliant Banana Bread with Dates and Hazelnuts'. Mmm...

 

Also Graze always seem to be doing brilliant offers. Giving you vouchers and offers to try your first box for free is what they do. S keep an eye out in magazines and on television. I first tried my Graze box with a voucher out of a magazine.

 

Lastly, the box that your yummy snacks come in is so cute and 'natural' looking (idk) you can't help but give in to being healthy. Give Graze ago-trust me it isn't all seeds and nuts. There is a really wide variety of tasty things on offer. There's definitely something for everyone.

I love Graze because of it's wide variety and consistency of tasting fabulous. It also allows you to still snack throughout the day but with delicious alternatives that keep hunger at bay. And with you being able to pay through direct debit, it makes it very easy and consistent- no messing about with credit cards every 2 weeks.

Book Review| Girl Online by Zoe Sugg.

 

When Zoe Sugg a.k.a the amazing beauty blogger and vlogger Zoella, realised a book it was to be of no surprise that I would be purchasing it- and that I would love it.

 

I have literally just finished reading 'Girl Online'. Oh my goodness I am in awe. I love it!

Girl Online has given me a great insight as to what it is like for people who live with Anxiety and have panic attack on a constant basis. It has made me more aware of how bad it can make you feel and I am quite grateful of this.

 

Not only has it been educational but I really love Zoe's development of the main character 'Penny' throughout the book. I'm not going to go into full details about the plot and what happens because you should go and read it because it is brilliant. But the twists and turns of the unfolding plot is truly literary genius and I think I may have just failed my new years resolution of being positive and nicer to people because I have just thought of so many hateful things to say to Megan it is unreal.

 

I think it is safe to say that Noah has been added to my list of fictional characters I have fallen in love with as well as Elliot (yes I know he is gay).

 

There's something about this book- I don't know what it is. But every time I finished reading that part for the night it made me feel happier. I know this sounds stupid, but it made me feel grateful that I live a normal, healthy life. It made me feel more positive and that some things can't be changed and that's okay. It's okay if I may have failed my media mock exam today. I'm alive, I'm healthy, My family are fine, My friends are great. And that's all what matters.

 

Let me know below if this book made you feel this way. Or any book. I'd like to hear what you have to say,

Leah-Marie xo

New Years Resolutions.

New Years Resolutions:

 

-Take more photos. I've just had a bridge camera for My Birthday (Nikon Coolpix L830) and I already love and study Photography as a GCSE and this year I want to document everything. From random long walks to holiday adventures. Your coming everywhere with me this year.

 

-Write more posts on here about my experiences and opinions. I think this would be a good opportunity for you guys to actually get to know me. So expect me to be more opinionated this year. Lets get talking about those big topics and controversial issues.

 

-To eat healthier. Isn't this one of everybody's resolutions every year? Seriously, though I am going to give it a good go at eating healthier and food types in the right proportions.

 

-To drink more water. This one kind of relates to the last one but it's just as important. Drinking more water can help your skin flush out impurities leaving it clear, clean and glowing, whilst also replenishing your energy so you can cope better with your busy schedule.

 

-To start jogging. I began jogging last year a bit whilst also walking. This year I want to become a lot more fitter and be able to go on jogs most nights.

 

-To be more positive. One of my best friends is always so positive and optimistic that has inspired me to try and be a bit more like her. Not everyone hates you. In fact I bet it's a very very small minority. 2015 is the year when I have to start being more positive. This year I want to put myself in situations where I don't feel comfortable. Stepping out of your comfort zone is good sometimes you know.    :)

 

I hope this has inspired you to think about what you want to accomplish in 2015.

Update..

Hi guys, I'm just posting to apologise how I didn't update that much over Christmas. This was because we had a bereavement in the family and I just didn't feel like updating. Well to be honest uploading  a post was the last thing on my mind. So I'm going to ignore them posts and start a fresh.

Anyway, Happy New Year beautiful creatures I hope you had an amazing night last night and I wish you all the best in this upcoming year, 2015. Where has the time gone?! All what I keep thinking about when somebody says 2015 is how Marty and Doc go to the future in this year and where the hell are all those cool inventions such as hover conversions, hover boards and hydrated pizza. I need these in my life. For any of you who don't know what I'm on about I'm making references to the 80s film Back To The Future. (comment if you want to fangirl with me about this amazing film).

This year I'm planning on making this blog even better. That means posting lots more, using more social media to interact with you brilliant readers and maybe, just maybe starting a Youtube channel (but that would be later in the year). Speaking of what I want to happen this year, I'm going to be sharing my ''New Year's Resolutions'' with you. In the hope that I can maybe persuade you to make a statement on the first day of January that by May you have completely forgotten about :)

Let's hope I stick to these ones more than I did last year,

Leah-Marie xo

 

Oooooh Guys over Christmas I have also made an Instagram account so you can go and follow me on that if you want, to see what I'm up to. My name and link will be below.

How to Survive Christmas Shopping.

Hi guys, I know I haven't been on in a while but I have been so busy with school work and besides I'm back and feeling more festive than ever.

I thought I'd share with you some of the things I've found out that can really help the nightmarish task of Christmas shopping.
 

1- Make a list. Lists are the way to go Ladies and Gentlemen. Make one of who you need to buy for, where you need to get it from and how much it's going to cost you. This will save you having any nasty surprises when you get to the till. Also, don't forget to take a pen-to cross off the things you've just bought. Remember, organisation is key.
 

2- I've found that it's best to go Christmas shopping early in the morning. Just as the shops start to open. I know if your anything like me then it's a right royal pain to get up out of your nice warm bed when it's dreary and dark outside, but trust me you'll thank me for it in the long run. The trick with Christmas shopping is to make it as less stressful as possible and so if you go earlier it means less people and less people means less stress.

 

3- There's always the internet. If your struggling to find a present for that person who's always very difficult to buy for there's always the internet. There are some great sites out there that can help you find something that they will love. And if you order it now, it'll come in plenty of time for Christmas.

 

4- Don't panic, after all Christmas shopping should still be very enjoyable. Try to make it like a checklist. Spend the whole day Christmas shopping- have a look around the different stalls and shops and stop off for a hot drink to warm you backup while you listen to the various Christmas songs playing in the stores.

 

I'm very excited for Christmas this year...only 16 days till the big day. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be posting a lot of festivity so keep checking my blog. See you soon,

Leah-Marie xo

Bonfire night

Happy Bonfire night guys, I hope you all had a fantastic night full of sparks, colour and laughter.

 

Originally my family had planned that we would be having fireworks this Saturday and so I wasn't going to post until then but since then we have cancelled it as we have all had such a hectic week. But on Wednesday I did go out onto the green outside our house and watch everyone else's fireworks.

It was honestly quite beautiful. And that's coming from somebody who hates fireworks because of the loud noises- especially the screechy ones! It was a clear night; all the stars were out, it was slightly cold. Cold enough to require those massive cuddly coats we all have and in every direction there were striking, bold sparks filling the night sky. Reds, Blues, Purples, Greens. Beautiful. As I stood there I felt a sort of calmness wash over me. Like I needed them crucial 10 minutes to just stand and breathe. With all the chaos of everyday life don't you ever feel like you need that?

It was a moment I think I will remember forever.

 

My family has arranged that we are going to go to my Brothers house on Saturday to have a Chilli with them. Don't think there'll be fireworks but just being together at this time of year is always great.

 

I hope you had a brilliant evening on Wednesday and that you have a fantastic weekend planned.

My Halloween costume

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

Hi guys, so it's Halloween and I just thought I'd do a post on what I'm going to be dressing up as for the night, where my ideas came from and how to accomplish the look.

I really didn't know what to go as for Halloween and after endless scrolling on the internet of pictures of overly priced costumes that I would only use for one night and pictures of extremely  good makeup, which looked like it had taken hours to master, it was pretty safe to say that I was a bit intimidated. All over the internet it seemed that everyone wanted to have the best costume and look the best, forget out-dressing the host it was more like out-scaring the host. I was racing to calculate how much I could afford to spend on this one-off outfit, at this busy time of year. It was only till I was scrolling through Twitter late one night that I found a picture of what people use to dress up like when the traditions of Halloween started. It was very much use what-ever-you-can-find-and-stick-it-on. But let's face it, it was ten times scarier than todays commercialised costumes. So I decided to stick with a very simple and affordable outfit, no matter what everyone else was going to turn up in.

 As you can see from the picture below I went as a Broken Doll to my friends Halloween party. This look was really affordable as I just used what I had around the house and from previous Halloween costumes.

 

To start off with I got two, knee length odd socks. I then teamed this with a regular black skater skirt. The netting that appears to be on the edge of my skirt is (believe it or not) a small net table cloth that I got from Wilkinson's for a £1 last year. Although I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find something similar lying around the house. This is also what I used to make the bow on my top. I secured the 'netting' to my skirt by 2 safety pins. 

The 'apron' around my middle isn't an apron at all, it just looks like one. In fact it is just an old white t-shirt with fake blood on it, cut out into a semi-circle shape. I have simply tucked this into my skirt as I want to be able to se my skirt again after Halloween, although if you want to go all out, you could sew the 'apron' to our skirt with some white cotton.

I then used another old t-shirt to make the 'collar' on my top. This was the most difficult part of the costume, as I had to get the measurements right. It was quite difficult but if you had somebody's help it would probably help a lot, however good old perseverance never did anyone any harm. The collar I sewed to the neckline of my top-following the hem round.

 

 

 

For my make-up. The only thing I can actually tell you, that will actually be of use to you on this topic is that you should just look on the internet for ideas - I found that Google images and Pinterest were very useful, I'm sure Instagram would be too and maybe heck out some videos on YouTube. I can tell you that the must-have products to create this look is red lipstick, eyeliner, white face paint or very light foundation and grey/black eye shadow. This is the best part about your Halloween costume. Go experiment and have fun with this part. The world is your oyster.

I'm going on holiday...

On Saturday I am going on holiday to Spain with my family, which I am quite excited about since I haven't been abroad on holiday in 6 years :o

But I'm really ill at the minute so these next few days will be spent getting better and doing all the usual pre-holiday stuff e.g. packing.

When I get back I'll post a 'My holiday in photos' post along with my Halloween outfit. I can't wait.

Hope you have a wonderful week,

Leah-Marie xo

 

Btw I may have internet at the hotel so please take a look at my twitter for updates.

The Ed Sheeran Concert.

Oh my goodness. Can I just put out there that Ed Sheeran is a very talented musician and if any of you ever get the chance to go and see him live then please snatch it with both hands!

 

The day was perfect we set out for Birmingham at about 1 o'clock (I'm going to skip the whole journey there because who wants to hear about what we were talking about and listening to the whole ride there? :L ) 

When we arrived the queue was fairly long, being the clever people we are we bought sandwiches, crisps and jammy doughnuts with us to eat whilst we were waiting. Brilliant idea; helped you to think of something other than how cold you were. It wasn't really that cold it was just the wind that was bitter. If there wasn't any wind then we would have been fine. May I just point out that I also developed a cold on Saturday night/Sunday morning so I wasn't feeling too good. :(

When the Arena doors opened we were directed to the standing area, where we queued again. This was the final queue and the excitement felt at that moment was unexplainable.

The very nice attendants, I think that's what you call them, let us into the actual arena in a single file line, this was a bit of a nightmare as we were in such a wide queue previously. However, I can understand there reasons for doing it; health and safety for example- it would have been crazy letting all those people just run to the front of the arena, there would have been some trampling.

When we finally picked our spot for the night, roughly about 10 rows of people from the front, we sat down to save our leg energy.

And then about an hour later, the support acts started to come on; Jamie Lawson and Saint Raymond. Jamie was first. He is brilliant. He is quite similar to Ed's style of music, so if you like Ed then your bound to like Jamie. He sung this one song called 'I wasn't expecting that' and honestly the song speaks for it's self. I swear my mum is obsessed with that song now, she must have played it 3 times Monday Morning. I'll leave a link to that song on YouTube and to his page below. Saint Raymond reminded me a lot of The 1975. They have the same edge and quirkiness that The 1975 possess. There songs were very catchy and you also found yourself wanting to dance even though you hadn't heard them before. My mum said she thought they were ''very eighties''. Probably because they used a lot of synthesizers.

Now for the big act.

ED SHEERAN EVERYBODY.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. He was so incredibly perfect. He sang the majority of my favourite songs including Tenerife Sea and Thinking Out Loud. He also played an amazing combination of one of his songs and a Backstreet Boy's song. Which my brothers girlfriend loved as she is a huge Backstreet Boys fan. Ed's ability to go from rapping about his life to singing so sweetly the words every girl wants their partner to say is something that needs to be spoke about more. His talent to play the guitar so expertly,  get the crowd wanting him to never leave and appearing very awestruck and down to earth is something of a rare gift amongst worldwide stars- his performance's are something that should be truly cherished. He is one of a kind. I couldn't have asked for a better night.  The backdrop/set of his concert was extraordinary, It consisted of roughly 7 screens. To which different animations and live videos of the concert were shown throughout the show. Accompanied by some well timed lighting. Not at all like some concerts I've gone to where the lights have blinded you every 5 seconds. The entire layout of the lighting and backdrop added to the hypnotising atmosphere. I danced, sang, laughed and cheered the night away. If only it could have gone on for longer. But sadly, the night did have to come to an end sometime.

There is no doubt in my mind that when Ed Sheeran tours again I will be attending. If I could I'd be  back there tonight if it wasn't for this cold.

Anyway, if you haven't listened to Ed's music, first off what have you been listening to lately?! and secondly I will leave a link for you crazy people below.

 

If you'd like to see more posts like this- of when I go to concerts then please leave a comment :)

Get ready with me... Ed Sheeran Concert Edition.

As I mentioned in my last post I am going to see Ed Sheeran this weekend and I thought I'd show you what outfit I've opted for.

I decided to go for plain black skinny jeans. These are one of my favourite pairs of jeans, they are really fitted but extremely comfy at one point it seemed that these were the only jeans I was wearing. These are available from New Look.

 

I then added my look-a-like 'Doc Martens' which are actually made by 'Goldigga'. These are my go-to boots for the winter if I'm wanting to create a grunge look. Originally, they came with black laces but after I so cleverly sucked them p the hoover I had to purchase some new ones and so I bought these striking orange ones. They were from a local shoe shop but I'm pretty sure you can get them at most high-street stores that sell shoes. I picked these to wear for Ed Sheeran as I knew that we were going to go quite early so the comfiest footwear I had would be essential.

 

 

I actually love this t-shirt! I've had it for quite some time now, probably from like the start of the summer but I am still in love with it. Look how cute the likkle kitty is. awwwww. This is like a cross between a crop top and a box t-shirt; it's not quite short enough to call it a crop top but not quite long enough or boxy enough to call it a box t-shirt. And because this is one of my many favourite t-shirts this was obviously the only one I was going to wear to an Ed Sheeran Concert. Plus, don't you think Ed Sheeran's ginger hair just reminds you of a cute lil' tabby cat?

No. Just me?

 

And here's a picture of my sexy fake 'Doc'ers' with my black jeans.

 

I hope you enjoyed this type of post, be sure to stay up-to-date with my blog over the next couple of days as I'll be doing a post of my night at Ed's concert and a holiday post.

Life

Hi guys,

So I just thought I'd let you know what's going on in my life recently. 

 

I have one week left at school until we break up for half term which I can't wait to get to, as I feel like we're doing so much work and homework at the minute that my heads going to explode. I know Welcome to Year 11 right? I've been having a lot of coursework to be doing lately as well as controlled assessments and tests for our data entry which gets sent home to our parents :/ Plus last weekend was my friend's and my Nan's birthday so I had lots of Birthday Celebrations to attend <3

 

This weekend, I am going to be really busy again as I am going to see Ed Sheeran in Concert. I am soooooooooo excited! We're standing as well, which I always thinks adds to the atmosphere and hysteria:) I might even give you a review type post of the concert if I have the time, in between homework.

 

I will also be packing for my holiday as the following week (half term week) I will be going to Spain with my family. I'm quite excited about going away abroad on holiday, however I am a bit anxious about it all as I haven't been abroad since I was quite little. I'm hoping to take some beautiful photos for you to admire when I get back along with all the goss' about my time in Spain.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to do a post for you guys, so please look forward to that.

 

Can I please just thank anyone who takes the time to read this blog, whether it's just this one post or everyone I do, it really means a lot to me. So please keep telling your friends about my blog and spreading the word of my little space in the internet world.

My favourite youtubers.

 Since youtubers were my inspiration to join the blogging community I thought I'd share with you which beauty/fashion youtubers I love to watch and why.

 

1. Zoella- Zoella was the first youtuber I began to watch. I instantly loved her videos and how she isn't always serious in her videos. She has a laugh and seems like a completely normal and down to earth person who you could get along with really easily. Plus, you can tell that she really loves her job and is very passionate about it. I can't wait to purchase something from the Zoella beauty range and to read her new book.

 

 

2. Velvetgh0st- Gabby, she's crazy, funny, talented and beautiful. Gabby also seems like a person who you could get along with very easily and she is definitely one of the people who I would like to meet. I love Gabby's sense of style and she is like the only youtuber that I have found that also doesn't like the smell of Soap and Glory's 'Sugar Crush'.

 

 

3. Inthefrow- I absolutely loveeeee Victoria's hair, it is so pretty. I wish I could dye my hair pastel shades but school is super strict about hair dye. Plus, I don't think it would suit me as I have really dark hair. I have only recently discovered Inthefrow but it absolutely love her videos and I really like her layout/theme for her YouTube and blog.

 

4. Sprinkleofglitter- Chummy. How can you not love Louise's videos, especially when baby glitter makes an appearance. I particularly love louise's  love of just chatting at the camera and her collabs with Zoella as them two together is like tweedle dum and tweedle dee.

 

 

5. Tanya Burr- Firstly, aren't Tanya and Jim like the cutest people ever??! :) Tanya's channel is one of my favourites because I think she does the best make-up tutorials and looks. She is brilliant and her 'get ready with me' videos are the best, Plus, we have the same glasses :)

 

 

6. Katie Joslin- Katie is a youtuber that is just starting out. I only found out about her as she followed me on twitter, so I checked out her channel. I think she is brilliant at making videos and could really go on to be quite a big youtuber if she keeps on. I love her lookbooks and her videos where she just sits down and chats at the camera.

 

If you want to check out any of these youtubers the links will be below and if you think of any youtubers that you think I might like  then please leave me a comment below. I'd love to here from you and hear what you think.
