Popular Products #1 | Babylips ♥

Hello everyone!
So I don't know if you guys realized, but I just did, I thought it was Monday yesterday so I did Monday's post! So today you got two of the popular products, and you got the Wednesday introduction to a healthy lifestyle, and the first post on it! 
Be excited!
Okay so the first product today, I will be speaking about is... well it's in the title so um, babylips!
I thought at first, nah they're coming out of fashion... Everyone's done with them. But I have noticed people are still using them a lot, and others are just clue less of them over all! So here's the review.



In my opinion, baby lips are pretty much awesome. I like how some of them have a tint in, the full color, and others have no color. 
But they all, do in fact, have an amazing smell and they moisturize pretty well. 
Now for the fun part...
Hot or Not? HOT!
Opinion? Pretty good actually.
Where to get it? Local make-up shops, chemists, online!
Review? So it leaves a nice tint, and the smell is amazing. Does it's job of moisturizing.
Would I buy it again? Yes, of course! Everyone should have this.
Rate? I'd give it a 9/10, since I'm saving my 10 for something, I don't know what though.
Should you buy it? I think it's defiantly worth trying, even if it's just once. It's good to have in your hand bag or in your school bag, or even at your dressing table! If you don't like it, it's a shame. But it's like 1.99 or 2.99 so you're hardly wasting loads of money. I'd say, buy it, try it, then you decide!:)

Hope you have a great day, I won't, I got school now! xox

Mystery Monday | Healthy Snacks ♥

Hello everyone!
So today is Monday, and here's the mystery post!
Today I'll be writing up on some healthy snacks, that either you'd like to eat when you're a bit peck-ish, or even put together as a school lunch! Do as you wish with it.

Snack #1
I can't think of a name for this... but it's basically just fruit and yogurt.
A super easy snack to put together is to just chop up some of your favorite fruits, grab some fat-free or greek yogurt, in whatever flavor you want, (I prefer strawberry or plain) and stick your fruit in, mix it about, and done! This is honestly amazing. Best of all, it doesn't just have to be 'yogurt with fruit in' it can be FROZEN yogurt with fruit in, so stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes and it's even better!

Snack #2
Fruit Kebabs! Okay so yes again with the fruit.. but come on guys we're trying to be healthy here! Grab some of them stick things, they're like giant tooth picks.. forgot what they're called.. and grab some fruit! Chop it up into pieces, and slide them on the stick. Fill it up to your hearts content and there you have it, some amazing fruit kebabs! ALSO, if you want to spice it up a bit, you can have a side dish of yogurt to dip it in. Yes with the yogurt, I love yogurt.

Snack #3
Granola Bars!
It's kinda like a cereal bar, that you make yourself, and it's healthy. 
You can have any dried fruit, not just strawberry's.
In a large bowl combine oats, rice crispies, almonds and mix together. Then, using almond butter and honey, put in a bowl and put in the microwave for 30 seconds to around a minute. Add some vanilla, and stir. Add the honey mixture to the almonds, and add your dried fruit. Stir together. Press the mixture into a pan and use some sort of utensil to flatten it. Cover it, and place it in the freezer for one hour. Cut it into the desired amount of bars. 

And that's it! 
For full recipes and more recipes, either plus one this or leave a comment and I'll look into making it a regular thing. I hope you like these and give them a try maybe?
Have a great day xox

Spa Day Edition #2 | Beauty mask DIY (Notices)♥

Hello everyone!
Today is how to make a simple, possibly the simplest - DIY face mask.

All you will need is, a banana!
Optional* You can add 2 table spoons  of honey if you have some, but if you don't that is honestly fine.

Grab a cup and the banana, using a utensil (a spoon maybe?) Squash the banana up until it's the consistency of a type of paste.

Then, if you have honey, add that and mix it in very well.

Apply to your face and neck areas, then rinse off with cold water after around 10-20 minutes.

It should leave your skin feeling smooth and clear.

That's today's Spa Day post, sorry it's not a lot but to keep the series going for maybe two more posts, I need to cut it down in order to make the series work I guess you could say.
Have a great day!

Nail Tutorials #2 | Angry Birds Nail Art♥

Hello everyone!
I apologies that I didn't post yesterday.
I was very busy and I couldn't fit it in, but never less, I am not going to just push Sunday's post to the side! I'll still be posting Sundays (today) and Mondays today!
So yesterdays post is a nail tutorial, so why not do a cute angry bird design?!
I only done this about, 8 times and every time I messed one hand up, but I always got compliments and I got slightly more better than last time every time I re-done the design!

First; Paint the nail white, two coats should be a nice amount to get the nail actually white.
Next; Paint the bottom half red, and do a curve line at the top (still allow white to be seen at the top)
Then; Grab a big dotting tool, and create two big dots in white on the red. Using a smaller dotting tool, apply black as the pupils.
Next; Using a black striper, draw black lines as eyebrows, starting from the inner eyes, slowly raising in height as it reaches level with the outer side of the eyes.
Lastly; Using a yellow, create a small triangle as a beak.
The last of all; Apply a top coat, and you're done!

Beauty Kit #2 | Glitz it up! ♥

Hello guys!
Today's post is another beauty/ make-up kit! But we will be glitzing it up and adding some glitter!
Sorry guys but I won't be posting links anymore unless it's one or two on certain posts. The reason is, it takes so much time to find a link and add up prices and add links so I kind of end up going over board. But you can just search the item into Amazon, ebay, or any other sites you might use.

• Glitter blush

Glitter blush, okay so with glitter blush, I wouldn't suggest to much glitter or you'll look like.. a glitter queen I guess. But you can get ones that have bits of glitter in. 

• Glitter Eyeshadow

You can find so many glitter shadows online and you can do a look with the main character being the glitter eyeshadow! It's amazing how far a little glitter can go!

• Glitter Gloss

Glitter gloss is amazing. I prefer glitter gloss to normal glosses if I'm honest. You can get flavored ones and scented ones - my favorite has to be summer fruits!

• Glitter Lipstick 

You see a lot of glitter lipstick on models or on advertisements, did you know you could make an ENTIRE look just out of mascara and glitter lipstick?!

That's today's beauty kit! 

Have a great day.

Organize your life #1 | School equipment ♥

Hello everyone!
This is Friday's edition of 'organize your life!'
Before we begin, I'd like to let you all know that I won't be posting Tuesday to Sunday.
I'm either going to do the post's in advance and post them all on the Monday on the page 'Other little things' or, Post two posts a day for a week afterwards. Or to just leave it and carry on as normal after.
Okay so today, I will be listing some things you need for school, or is handy to have ect.
 This includes some books and stuff for help in school or to revise using, I am in year nine and in American terms, Grade nine. I have a Welsh GCSE in summer, so I do need to revise and get high levels and that's why I've got a bit of stuff, you might not need it all, but I would get it all if I was yourself in order to get higher levels and try and do better work. I won't be writing for every item I bought as it'll be way too much to write. But I'm sure you can figure out why I'd need the rest.

• A double zipped pencil case, a single pencil case, a big bulky pencil case, and a little plastic pencil case.

The reason I got 4 pencil cases is because a lot of the stuff I got had a couple spares, and different stuff. I recommend getting around three pencil cases. One for stuff you probably won't use. Stuff you don't use everyday. Then stuff you use everyday. I got all my stuff from local stores and I actually made the big bulky one in year 7 / grade 7.

• A storage box

So I got a storage box because it is a LOT easier to organise all the stuff you don't need everyday and your school books in a storage box and just pull it out when you have homework or need to switch your books.

• Sticky-back paper

In my school you need sticky back plastic paper stuff to go over your books to protect it. I recommend this as you can still see the book and it just protects it really. I'd ask your teacher first though just in case you aren't allowed it in your school. 

• Note books

I only got two small notebooks as our school gives us a planner, but for the first lot of homework they hadn't been handed out, so I used one as a homework reminder and the other one is to jot down ideas or notes or practice spellings or something for a test.

• Binders

I got two binders. If I know I got several pieces of homework due on one day, I'll take the small one in (1 inch) so that I can protect it until I hand it in to the teacher. In my house I have a 1.5 inch one to hold homework I might not of done, or have a while before I give it in. I do have sheet homework from Physics and ICT and that's mainly why I have them. I also have polly pockets but I didn't list them. 

• Sticky notes

Okay so I have a pack of 200 post it notes in four vibrant colors. I use these to jot down notes, mainly to stick on my homework to add color but include notes and stuff. I also use them to write things I need to remember. I have another little pack of 3 different color and shaped hearts that I mainly use to stick on my art work.

• A pack of 25 blue pens

I picked these up in a cheap-ish shop. They do have grips, feel smooth to work with and last a while. But I didn't get these for myself, I got these just in case I ran out (even though that is very un-likely) or if someone needed to borrow one, or if I gave a friend one. I also use them when I have to use a certain type of pen to outline my work and homework for art. 

• A pack of 25 black pens

I got these for the same reason as the above, but in black because sometimes a friend starts their work in black and then their pen runs out. Right now I'm trying to finish all my books in black, then do the next book in blue and so on. 

• Berol Handwriting pens in black (2 pack)

If you have never wrote with these pens, you are missing out BIG time! It looks so near and organised, it is comftable to write with them, it looks outstanding in whatever type of writing you do and they're just fab!

• Berol Handwriting pens in blue (2 pack)

I prefer the way they look in blue, but like I said I wanted to start my book in black because I find it looks more standard.

• A pack of 5 red pens

Sometimes we have to use red pens, so I picked up a pack of cheap ones to lend friends or if I run out.

• A pack of 2 green pens

I forgot the make, but a LOT of the time we have to use green pens to peer asses or asses someone else's book.

• Bic Smooth writing black pens

This was a pack of ten. I love these pens. They are nice to write with, they look smart and they're also good back ups. I didn't get the blue because they was £2 ($3.50) more expensive than the black, but I do like the look of the blue so I might go back and get some blues.

• Pack of three English Flag red,blue and black pens

I had to get these! They was so cute, One was black and white with the flags, and one was blue, and the other red. They're the same color pen as the pen itself and I've been using the black one all the time, and I used the red one once. I haven't used the blue yet but I probably will use that blue one first when I start my new books.

• 7 highlighters

I grabbed some highlighters as you always end up needing these somewhere down the line.

• Bic 12 pack pencils
• 30 felt pens
• Tippex (2 bottles)
• Tippex (2 pens)
• 3 Animal rubbers
• 3 Fine liners (Red,blue and black)
• 30cm Ruler
• 15cm ruler
• Ruler kit
• 2 Basic Erasers
• 3 Black gel pens
• 3 Blue gel pens
• A red gel pen
• 3 Sharpeners
• 2 packs of Bic Illusion pencils (4 per pack) 
• 2 Silver Pencils with attached rubber
• Pack of 6 glue sticks
• Pritt stick pink mini glue
• Pritt stick Jumbo Glue
• Filler paper
• 500 Paper sheets
• A laminator and laminating sheets
• Paper Shredder
• Collins Welsh Short Course Revision Guide
• Key stage 3 English Books
• Mini stapler
• Blue tack
• White tack
• Extra staples
• Tape despencer
• Decorative tape
• Normal tape

I hope you liked this well.. typed out haul I guess you could call it? I put this in Organize your life as if you have all this stuff and listen in school, you will end up wanting to, well, organize your life!

Bye, have a great day!

Beauty product review #1 | Avon color powder ♥

Hello guys!
This is Thursdays post, and it's my beauty product review.
I decided to do it on the Avon powder, in the color make.
There is two tones, a tanned one which is slightly darker, and another one (forget the shade) that's a nice middle tone, and to me, would pretty much suit any skin tone, and so would the dark if you blend really well.
This powder is amazing with coverage, and it doesn't feel too heavy. It defiantly sets your foundation and if you make mistakes it will cover them. It doesn't sting spots or wounds when applying to open wounds on the face.
It's very affordable, and last's about a month (for me) using it on a daily basis. You can make it last up to three months if you use it sparingly, and a little bit can go a long way. You can either use a small amount and blend it. But it is amazing when you don't blend it either!
It's quick application, and DEFIANTLY worth investing in!
I always have one or two handy, they tend to suit every look I try and use it for.
Online it's around £4 - $5-6
From the actual catalog it's around £6 - $8

Healthy Lifestyle #2 | Getting back on track ♥

Hello guys!
Sorry this is a day late, I will still be posting Thursdays post as usual.
I'm still referring to Wednesday,  but as a sorry I will include Thursday!
Today has been great!
For brunch I had a turkey baguette, and for dinner I had eggs on toast! As a snack, I had a packet of crisps but it was within my calories, fat and everything else so it was completely fine.
I went for a 3 mile walk yesterday (Tuesday) and today (Wednesday) I done 1.7 miles with my nan.
Today is Thursday and I don't think it's been too bad.
Today I had cooked dinner (and with my dad he does the best but it's pretty much all my days fat) It was around 600-700 calories. I had a packet of crisps for my snack, so I've used all my fat today but have like 300 calories left. I didn't walk today, I was meant to go to gym but I didn't want my bag to be too heavy so I decided to give it a miss. I haven't drank a lot of water today, I drank 4 glasses yesterday. But I'm about too drink a few lots now.

That's Wednesdays post, a day late.
I'm about to write up Thursdays post.
Wednesdays post isn't a lot but I need to have a small post one day of the week as the rest of the days take a little while to write up. Sorry about that, but I hope it's okay.
Have a great day!

Spa day #1 | Basic Late Edition ♥

Hello guys, so sorry this is late.
I had so much on yesterday I couldn't put this up or even write any of it, and I didn't want to rush something that was rubbish and post it. 
So today, I'll put this up and start the Wednesday day post and post it tomorrow, along with tomorrows post. 
Okay, so some of you might be thinking 'Basic? Basic Spa day?' well here's how this series works. Since I'm posting every Tuesday, I'm not going to make this post pact with everything, every idea, and everything I know. I'm going to split it down so I can do this series for a month (Four posts) Then change this all together.

• Bath

You really want to have a bath, not a shower. Just to realise your negative energy and relax. It might help if you use a bath bomb or some sort of bath essence or stress realise product or foams.

• Body Lotion

After drying, apply body lotion, you can buy lotions and body jellies that actually empty your body of negativity and helps you to relax.

• Moisturize

Apply your moisturizer to your face and rinse off. This helps make you feel more natural and comfortable. 

• Read or Browse

Grab a book, read a few chapters or grab your phone/tablet and check your social media. This helps you rewind for a little while.

Sorry this is so short, but don't forget I will be expanding this next week. 

Have a great day, much love.

Beauty Tips #1 | Random Monday ♥

Hello guys.
So today's post is beauty tips.
I'd just like to include a little update here. 
I've decided that on a Monday it's going to be a random post. 
Like, it'll have a theme, but it won't be the same thing every Monday.

Anyway, here's the tips!

• Make sure you're never using too much makeup. 

When you use too much makeup, you end up looking like a clown and it's not attractive ladies when you wear WAY TOO MUCH makeup. People seem to think it's a trend right now. 

• For School or work, try and use 24 hour lasting makeup. 

When you're going to each lesson and doing PE and things in school or work, you tend to get sweaty and sweat your makeup either off or weaken it. If you have 24 hour lasting makeup then it should last at least the entire time, and even the entire day! Then you'll have  more room in your bag if you don't need to touch up all the time!

• Blend

Recently people seem to be doing thick lines or bold eyebrows or lipstick. Well it looks more natural, and... human if you blend your eyeshadow, blend things. 

• Watch your lipliner!

Make sure that your lip liner is very close to your lipstick/lipgloss color. Another thing, is make sure you apply it on the lip line. Not on the lips (because it'd be pointless) or around the lips. On the lip line.

That's today's tips. I'm sorry it isn't a lot and it's pretty basic and bold. I have a lot of homework right now. Leave comments on your tips or what you think/want next Mondays post to be about!

Looking forward to tomorrows post, Spa day guys!!:)

Nail Polish Tutorial #1 | Marble Tips ♥

Hello guys!
Today's tutorial is a nail polish tutorial.
I decided to do something a little different from your average tutorials, so whilst thinking of designs I could show you I had this image in my head of marble printed nail tips.
My camera currently has no room to take and upload pictures, so I'm going to have to make do with what's already on google. For that I apologize.
Disclaimer: All photos are used from google, none of them are my own.
You will need:
Nail tips
Nail glue
A file
A buffer
Optional* A main base color (if you use a base color, you will also need a base coat)
A black striper
Two to four nail polish colors
Nail clippers/scissors
A toothpick
Tape

Step 1
To begin, grab your nail tips and measure them to your nail. If they are slightly to big, file the sides in one motion until the size is a correct fit to the nail. If the size is too small, grab the size bigger (no matter how much bigger it is) and once again, file the sides until it correctly fits your nail.

Step 2

Secondly, grab your nail glue. This bit could be a bit tricky so make sure an adult is near or supervising. If you turn your tip to the back, there should be a very small dented line. Fill the space below it (the smaller space) with a generous amount of  nail glue, and press it onto the edge of your nail. Hold it like this for around 20 seconds to around a minute depending on how fast the glue is drying. For better results, file your real nail lightly so it does not cause damage. This gives the glue something to grab onto.

Step 3

Thirdly, now you can begin to cut or clip the nail down to required shape and grab the file. You can file the shape you require. I recommend a squoval shape. (Below is a photo of all the shapes and types) Then using the file, gently start from the edge of the tip, and file down to the other edge. If this hurts, you're doing it wrong. You should only be filing the tip, not your actual nail. 

Step 4 (Optional)*

Next, this is optional. If you would like to have a base color, grab your base coat and apply this to protect the natural nail. Then, use your choice of color and apply 1-3 coats depending on how vibrent the color is. 

Step 5

Grab your tape and get 2 small strips, and put them on your hand and rip it off (not enough to break the skin) This will make it easy to peel off. Please make sure, if you've used a base color, it must be 100% dry. Otherwise the nail polish will be peeled off when the tape is removed. Apply the tape onto the nail, do not cover the tip.

Step 6

This is where your couple of colors and tooth pick comes in handy. Apply a generous amount of polish to the brush and allow it to leak onto the tip. Keep doing this with different colors until the tip is colored. This is where you can get creative. Grab the tooth pick and do little swirls and lines, whatever you want really onto the starting to set nail polish. It needs to be in the process of  setting or the nail polish will just run and fill the marks you make in the polish.

Step 7

Wait for the nail polish to fully dry. Then grab the black striper and fill in the marks where you drew with the tooth pick so it looks more vibrant, and stands out. This is optional* Draw a line along the tape so the tip looks separated from the actual nail. Wait for it to 100& dry.

Step 8

Gently peel the tape off and your design should be complete. Except one thing, the top coat. You need to top coat to seal your design in, give it shine, and make it last longer. 

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial! In future I will be using my own photo's but I hope you can follow it by reading what I've posted! Enjoy, and have a great Sunday.

Beginner to Make-up Kit #1 | The Basics ♥

Hello everyone,
Today I'll be posting the basics/essentials for a beginner with Make-up.
Just do you know, the reason I'm starting with the basics and using the #1 in the title, is because every week I'll add a little more to the beginner collection as you progress. After the kit is complete, the title will be changed to something new, e.g 'Experimenting with glitter' or something like that. Onto the kit & essentials! Links, why you'll need it, photo's, and totals will be included!
Disclaimer: All photo's used will be from google search

• A small concealer stick

Instead of starting of with a foundation,powder,concealer,highlighter,toner and a bunch of face based products, you can simply start of with a little concealer stick. The stick is easier to apply for beginners and you can just do the basics with a concealer, and you don't need much else really!

Click here to buy a concealer stick in your chosen color 

• A light blusher

Next, you don't exactly really need this, but most people do and it adds some color to your face so you don't look like a zombie after using concealer! I recommend a light powder one, you don't want to cover your face in heavy liquid make-up for a starter. You just want something light to begin with.

Click here to buy blusher in your chosen color

• A small eye shadow palette 

To get started with doing little things like smokey eyes or bold colors, you'll need to start off with a small eye shadow palette. I recommend something that has basic colors, with colors that range from a white, brown, grey, black. But of course the choice is yours.

• Mascara

If you're going to actually complete the look, you won't forget mascara. It the item that actually makes the whole make-up look work in my opinion & many others agree. Mascaras vary in price, but for a beginner you won't need a major expensive one. You might want to upgrade as we get further into the collection.

• A lipstick

When beginning, you're not going to focus on your eyes much, and if you do it's kind of basic and natural. This means it's okay to use a lipstick to add color. You can get a gloss, but I recommend a lipstick and then as we upgrade the kit, we'll add in a gloss.

If you bought everything that's been linked here, including P&P, it would cost...

£13.26

OR

$21.57

Nail Kit Essentials (The basics) - What you'll need ♥

Hello guys.
I know I said I would be posting nail art things on Sunday, but I decided that if I was going to start doing tutorials on Sundays, you will need to know what you need in order too do it, and I'm letting you know a few days in advance what you'll need for most or even any of the things I'm going to be doing.
This is the 'basics' so there might be different things used in the tutorials.
I'm also including why I think you'll need these things, and a link to them.

The Basics

• A white and black nail polish

I cannot stress to you enough how much you will be needing these two types of polish! White goes with any colors, as does black. White is also used as a base to make other colors more vibrant. Black is used as a liner to many nail art tutorials. It's an essential for sure.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SET-OF-2-NAIL-VARNISH-STARGAZER-POLISH-SOLID-BLACK-AND-WHITE-129-118-/191301237967?pt=Nail_Polish&hash=item2c8a713ccf

I haven't used the black and white nail polishes from this brand, but I have used a coral color and it worked very well. 

• Striper tools

I was going to say a set of polish stripers, but there's something more in-expensive, and you can use a variety of colors (depending on what you already own) The reason you will be needing these is because when you do nail art, you need something to draw the designs with.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3pcs-BLACK-3-in-1-Professional-Detailer-Liner-and-Striper-Nail-Art-Brush-Pens-UK-/171389406064?pt=Nail_Polish&hash=item27e79acb70

I do not own these and only because a while back I actually bought a set of 48 polish stripers, which is the nail polish with the striper as a brush and a dotting tool on the top. The only reason I included these is because it's only 'basic' essentials. I would include the link to the stripers I bought, but they do no longer sell them and I can't find any the same.

• Dotting tools

The reason you shall be needing a dotting tool, is because you can make very simple designs like flowers, and polka dots with just a dotting tool. You can either create your own dotting tool using videos on youtube, I suggest you search, or you can buy some in a variety of different sizes.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5x-2way-DOTTING-Pen-Marbleizing-Tool-Nail-Art-Dot-Paint-Nail-Art-Tips-Tools-/301006968879?pt=Nail_Polish&hash=item461569d82f

I have not got these, but the people I know that do have had them for a while, they tend to last and they're perfectly happy with them. I have dotting tools connected to my polish stripers, and the reason I'd prefer the ones through the link, is because I could use my own colors and do different sizes instead of one.

• A couple of your favorite colors!

You might already have your favorite colors, or you can just pick from your current polishes! You will need these to actually create your nail arts. If you don't have any colors or/and you're starting from naught, here's a link to an inexpensive set of colors!

• A base and top coat!

You will need a base coat to protect your natural nails, and a top coat to protect your designs!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OPI-TOP-COAT-AND-NATURAL-BASE-COAT-SALON-GIFT-SET-2x15ML-/390621013097?pt=Nail_Polish&hash=item5af2d3a469

I chose the OPI brand as they're fantastic, but you can either find some at your local store or look on the internet some more if you find them a little out of your price range.

These are the 'basics' you'll need. 

Here's my new schedule***

Monday - Organisation tips 

Wednesday - My healthy eating & weight loss

Friday - Nail kits & essentials

Just another beauty blogger! ♥

Hello there.
My name is Tara, and I have a passion for beauty, as in make-up, decor, nail art ect.
So I decided to make a youtube account (after considering it for two entire years)
So for Christmas 2014, I'm having a camcorder with 1080p quality and a brand new laptop for editing. My first channel (Tara Lee) will be my beauty videos. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTZMQb5uKmXttklBfCvFw2A
I'm not posting until December on-wards.
My second channel (That will be for maybe gaming with sims 4, and maybe vlogs now and then I don't know) Is MoreTara (Yes I got the idea from MoreZoella) And here's the link to that: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS1dU-GwlFB5zLHWO0DXLVg
Now that's my youtube accounts over, here's the link and names to my social media.
Instagram: taraslename
Twitter: @taralovescookie
Tumblr: UniverseTara
Kik: tazzytar22
I don't use tumblr right now, but I'll try and get a hang of it for you guys. I use twitter probably the most. Then I use Instagram whenever my tablets charged I guess. I also use my Kik when my tablets charged. I do have facebook but that's for private and family use only.
I don't really know how much this blog is going to be viewed. I'm planning on posting every Wednesday and Sunday, or just on a Sunday if school gets too busy.
I'm planning on posting a Nail art post on a Sunday and my fitness and dieting on a Wednesday.
I've lost a stone and a half so far but I'm sure I've put a couple of pounds back on. So I'm determent to get to the average weight for my age. My goal is too lose 2 stone before Christmas. Then another 2 stone afterwards and then I'll be like 2 pounds under my average weight. So I'll be tracking that on my blog. If you start reading my blog, Thanks. I will try my best to post when I can and keep this up.
Just so you know, I've had experience with blogging before. I've owned several blogs (They was based on games and what to do in real life when bored for children, but was taken down do to issues with my old email address and passwords) I've also managed 2-3 blogs but that was a few years ago now and the owner slowly went off it. I have got around 4000 views in the space of 2 months on my most successful blog and it was all about arts and crafts. So I'm pretty sure I can try and keep this going.
Much love, -Tara
