I-made-a-Youtube-video say whaaat?!

That's right folks. I've gotten over myself (mostly my laziness) and jumped back on the Youtube bandwagon. I mean, I have 308 subscribers. That's a waste of subscribers if I'm not uploading! (Even if it is quite a small amount in the Youtube world). So here it is. While this won't really be an "update" for those of you who just read my blog and didn't watch my Youtube, it's still a little glimpse into my life that I thought I'd update everyone on before making fashion/lifestyle/beauty videos again.

Having said all of that, if you'd still like to watch it I definitely won't stop you! The link is here or I've embedded it into the page for your convenience. Aren't I sweet



Since I'm really just getting back into everything, I'm a little short on ideas or what's been trendy to do lately. Are there any tags I should film? Any styling videos you guys are dying to see? Leave me a comment here or on the video and I'll get on that as soon as possible! Thanks!

Chubby Bunny CHALLENGE

A few days ago my little sister and I filmed this oh-so-attractive challenge video over on my YouTube channel. It's at least good for a chuckle I hope!

Have you tried the Chubby Bunny challenge? How far did you get?! Feel free to subscribe to my channel and like this video. It helps quite a bit more than people realize just to give a thumbs up :)

Newest Videos

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I have a few new videos up on my Youtube channel because I know not everyone checks there regularly. I'm also putting up two new ones in the next couple days so I might post them here, but if I don't, my link is in the right hand side bar. Happy watching :)

Videos Update!

I have put up two videos since I last made a post about them, but unfortunately they aren't exactly fashion or beauty related. My life has been so hectic that it'd been pretty hard to find time to film, but thankfully I had some funny bits floating around that I could piece together into a bloopers reel. 

Just today, I posted a vlogday video! A few days ago I had a great day ice skating and adventuring around the city with a group of friends, and I brought my camera along to let you all in on what was happening! Let me know if you like or dislike these kinds of videos since this is the first one I've done. I enjoyed making it, so hopefully you all enjoy watching it!



If you all are still interested, I have plans to film a February Favorites video and blog post, even though it's already the second week of March, haha. Hopefully that will be up soon!

What's Your Opinion On...

I've posted a couple of videos on Youtube since I posted one last, but I got a couple comments about how it's annoying and unintelligent of me to post them on here. Do you agree? Let me know in the comments. Either way, I'm going to post my last few videos below, and if you all hate this, please do let me know (in the kindest way of course! haha). I don't want to continually post things that you all hate. I just thought it might be a good way to share if you didn't regularly check Youtube. So now that I've rambled for an entire paragraph, here they are, and enjoy! (Hopefully!)

As always, subscribe or thumbs up if you liked these! I really do love every single like or subscriber that I get. I get all squeally and happy when my number goes up even just by one. Let me know if you have any blog post or video suggestions!

January Favorites 2013

I contemplated making a blog post about these items instead of posting the video here, but I thought that some of these items would be difficult to photograph some of these accurately, and I also had a bunch of homework I needed to do. So here are my favorites for the month of January and I'd love to know what you all were in love with during the first month of the year!

Don't forget to bump up the quality to 1080, and let me know what you thought in the comments! If you felt so compelled to subscribe or thumbs up, that's always appreciated too. Thanks!

What's In My Bag? + giveaway announcement!

This is a video that I posted a couple of days ago of a very popular video "What's In My Bag?" where I basically go through the contents of my purse, and you all can be nosey and see all the weird junk I carry around.

Don't forget to bump it up to 1080 or 720 for HD quality, and subscribe if you have a Youtube account! Once this blog reaches 75 followers or my channel reachers 25 followers (whichever comes first), I'll be having a giveaway! I posted a sneak peek photo of some of the contents on my Instagram, but it's going to be a spring themed basket of nail polish, smellies, and other fresh and fruity spring time wonderful-ness in honor of the groundhog not seeing his shadow! So if you haven't subscribed to my channel or started following this blog, do so and you'll bring the giveaway sooner! Once the time is here all the rules and ways to earn more entries will be posted, but I'll tell you now that it will be INTERNATIONAL. 

If you have any ideas of what you'd like in the basket, comment below! I only have a handful of items thus far, so any suggestions are welcome. We're officially in the second month of 2013, and slowly but surely moving toward the warmer months. Keep warm!

Drugstore Beauty Favorites Video

This is my second video on my Youtube channel! This video show cases all of my favorite easily accessible drugstore beauty products. I'm quite excited about it, and if you would subscribe to my channel or thumbs up my video that would be great!

I'll probably have an outfit post for you all later in the week, and I hope you all had a happy Monday!

Pretty in Pink - A Lipstick Review

Sorry for being MIA this week. It was the beginning of the spring semester this week, and then at the end I caught an awful case of the flu and spent two days in a Sprite and soda cracker filled haze. Thankfully I'm on the mend and back in action!

This week I bought my first MAC lipstick *swoon*. It's lovely. I bought "Snob", a Satin formula lipstick, on the recommendation of Jessie from sunbeamsjess on Youtube. She mentioned it in her "2012 Favorites" video (that's a link there if you want to check it out!) and I knew right away that it was the baby pink shade I had been searching for. 

(yes, those are my lips,  haha)

Even though this lipstick is a little pricey ($15 a tube), I'm in love with it. It didn't dry out on my lips, the color is so smooth and even, and very true to its tube color, which is something I've had serious issues with in the past. I'd buy a lipstick based on the tube color, get it home, and it's completely different on my lips! One thing about this color is that it is definitely going to require exfoliation on the days I wear it, but what's wrong with that anyway?

The second color is a Maybelline color I bought at Wal-Mart, of all places. "140 Fuchsia Fever" is a very vibrant, show stopping pink perfect. I thought it was a great pink color for winter since it was so bold and colorful, an easy way to brighten up any drab winter day. The formula is quite..liquid. It's definitely "glides" on and I put in two or three applications for the pigmentation in the picture, so it's an easily buildable color.

One thing is that both of these colors showed up quite glossy in these pictures, and it was only after the light had really disappeared that I realized my flash was on. Fuchsia Fever is a little bit shiny, but Snob is much more matte. It's not classified as a "matte" formula, but it doesn't have any serious sheen to it.

(I'm super sorry for the messy application on this one. I have no idea why I didn't catch it in the mirror, haha)

Yard Sales Galore! +Sneak Preview

Hi everyone! Hope you had a marvelous weekend! I spent a lot of mine working, but I managed to go on a yard sale spree Friday morning, and picked up some goodies. That prompted me to make this video and try out the "haul" video idea. It's a little rough, and I'm thinking that I should make these with my camera next time, but I felt as though I really needed to get something to you guys! I've been slacking lately, and I wish I could blame it on being busy, but sadly it's a good ol' case of writers block. Sigh. Hope for the best as I try to get my creative juices flowing.

Do you all have any trade secrets to churning out posts even when you're stuck? 

PS- Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel and let me know what you think of this in the comments below. I'm always open for positive or negative feedback! (even though I prefer the positive of course, haha)

First Vlog Attempt- Oh geez
