Quick Update | Little Break&New series!♥♥

If you had not noticed, since Wednesday I haven't posted.

This is because I'm having a little break. This will give me time to catch up, type out the posts ect.
This is how it's going to work. I will post next Thursday, I'll do a double post on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday! That will cover all the missed posts.

Also Thursdays post, 'Spa Thursday' is going to be changed to a new topic soon as I think I've covered all the topics I can to my knowledge, and I think it would be a good edition to the blog to have things changed up a little bit!

New years resolutions | Week 1 Updates ♥♥♥

Hello everyone!
Well, we're already in to the new year by a week, how are you all going?
Maybe you're wondering what this post is about?
How often it's going to be posted?
If this is a one off?
What it's all about?
All shall soon be revealed.

Every single year I set myself probably the same resolutions.

1. Lose weight
2. Save money
3. Start a Youtube channel
4. Get prettier 
5. Be more popular
6. Go out more
7. Work on my blog
8. Grow my hair longer
9. Grow my nails longer
10. Write a novel

Never do I ever think I'm going to do them... but as you can see, the ones crossed out I actually for once accomplished during 2014! I know it's only three out of ten, but when you have the same goals for three years in a row, and you get one done, it's like a weight lifting off your shoulders I'll assure you! I decided to set myself some new- new year resolutions, that I AM going to accomplish.

1. Get to my dream weight
2. Open a savings account
3. Get 50 subscribers in total
4. Get 100 views on one video
5. Get 500 more views on my blog
6. Write a novel
7. Get better grades
8. Talk less

This year, I've set myself eight resolutions, the first one I know I can do as I've lost a stone, and I have so much support and motivation I know that I can get to my overall dream weight healthily, and it's defo possible! The second me and my dad has talked about, and as long as I save enough money I can open an account, and knowing me I'm not going to take the money out so it'll be even better! I've got 15 subscribers, so in 365 days, I plan to get 35 more. I'd love to get 100 views on one video, keep in mind I have 62 on my first video right now, so it's possible! I got 450 views on my blog within 5 months, so I'm sure I can get 500 in 12! I've already started writing one, and if I spend some extra time with it, I know I can get some more done! I'd love to go up to the next set in the subjects I'm lacking with. Then, last but not least, to talk less. Because I think I'm annoying and talk to much. It has been confirmed. 

So I want to know what your guys's new year resolutions are, if you're sticking to them, if you completed last years, and anything like that, so either tweet me, dm me, comment, do whatever you wish! I'd love to hear all about them!

Goodnight, Tara xox

Healthy Lifestyle/ Weight Loss Progress Websites&Support #2 | Wednesday ♥

Hello everyone,
Today's post is once again, converting to a healthy lifestyle and my weight loss progress.
Last post was all about finding out what you want, eg getting healthy, weight loss, gaining weight, gaining muscles. In these posts there is going to be two parts, one with the healthy lifestyle tips and ways to get healthier, and then there is going to be a little bit of my progress so far, how well I've done, how bad I've done, and sometimes there will be how much weight I've lost or gained.
In this part, it'll be about websites and support to get you started and help, and how it helps.

During my lifestyle change, it hasn't been easy, but I found two sites that really helped me to change and motivate me.
The first one is Myfitnesspal.com (MFP for short)
It's got pretty much every food and drink on there, you log what you've ate daily and it tells you how much weight you'd lose five weeks from that day if everyday was the same, it tells you how much of what things you should eat eg. calories, fats, sugars, sodium, protein and more.
There is loads of social groups that you can join to ask questions, get ideas, have friends doing the same thing, with the same goals. Every user also has their own personal blog they can post on too! Not to mention adding exercises, just type in what exercise you have done, type in how many minutes you've done and it'll tell you how many calories you've burned!
EVERYONE I've ever heard talked about this said the results are nearly and sometimes DEAD ON accurate.

The second site, which is only UK based I think, sorry, is Change for life.
It's advertised on the TV and every now and again they give out free sets and kits to get you started with different things, like right now they're doing a cut back on sugar kit free. There is 60 minute workouts and a bunch of interesting things to make your lifestyle healthier packed in the website!

  

Now we've mentioned some websites that can help, moving on to my progress.
I haven't weighed yet as I've only really started recently as part of my 2015 resolution! Get to my healthy weight, and it is DEFIANTLY achievable. Yesterday I went a over in fats, but not by too much. Today has been fine, not to mention a 400+ calorie burn walk with my nan, who is the best support ever! Tomorrow is hopefully going to be a LOT better and I'm planning on making 'egg muffins' tonight for tomorrows breakfast! My nan is also going to try them out, and she's sent me the recipe and then are low in calories, healthy and has protein! That'll allow me to have a bigger dinner since I'm not taking up too many calories in the morning. Normally I'm pretty good at drinking around 16 glasses of water a day, but it's been harder recently to up my water take again, but today I've drank 2.6 and I'm planning on drinking another 1-3 2.6 glasses.

That's all for this week,
Come back tomorrow for Thursday's post!
Have a happy Wednesday, and don't forget, it's nearly FRIDAY!

Tuesday Hair&Make-up&Outfit #2 | Friday Night Part (Part 2) ♥

Hello again,
Here's the second part of Friday Night's hair,make-up and outfit ideas!
DISCLAIMER: The images used are all from Google and all credit goes to those who presented and took the photos! They are used for idea purposes only and I am not in any way claiming them to be my own.


This is the outfit I'd pair with my outfit if I wanted to be a bit classier, if you wanted you could always look for one with a skirt bottom too! It looks classy, and black goes with anything remember!


For the make-up side of things, I would have a brown and gold smokey eye like in the image, fill in my brows, do some eyeliner & mascara, pair it with some bronzing and maybe a nude lipstick or clear lipgloss, and boom, done!


Last but not least, for the classy party themed hairstyle, this would be a perfect fit and top off the outfit! With the whole raised look it looks pretty stylish, and with a messy edge with the fringe and sides pulled out!

I hope you liked today's double post with DOUBLE the amount of outfit ideas!
Keep an eye out for tomorrows post!

Tuesday Hair,Make-up&Outfit #1 | Friday Night Party (Part 1)♥

Hello everyone!
Happy Tuesday!
Today I'm pretty excited, as it's the first edition of Tuesday Hair,Make-up&Outfit Ideas/Tutorials.
Since the occasion is all different throughout the week, I just went with the basic Friday Night Party. I'm going to include some photos of make-up, clothes & hairstyles for people more my-age, and then something more older or something that could be passed on as 'classier'.
DISCLAIMER: I do not in any way claim to own these photos. They are all from the google search engine, and the credit fully goes to those who have taken or presented the photo.

For the younger ladies out there (e,g teens, early 20's) The following could be an option:

This outfit was a sure winner for me! I love the look of the edgy-lace top, with the flowing summer blue skirt. The golden belt of course makes this look tons better, and the shoes give it that stylish edge. I also love how you can easily pair a cream purse and a denim jacket with this if it's cold! You could always slip a pair of tights on too if it's cold!

With the previous outfit, I think this make-up look would work, and not go too over-the-top! With a nude-ish pink lip, false lashes,a coat or two of mascara on the bottom lashes, and last but not least filling in the eyebrow (and maybe a whitish shadow) it will make everything look pretty, cute, and totally stylish!


For the hairstyle to go with everything, this looks pretty stunning! With some big curls, and punning the side parts of your hair to either side and boom! Done, stylish, and ready for a party!

I'm going to put the second style in a separate post! So keep peeled:)

Confidence Monday #3 | People&Environment ♥

Hello everyone,
Once again it's Monday, and here we are with our weekly Confidence Monday.
Today I'm going to be writing a little bit about how the people you spend time with, and the environment in which you are in can have an impact on your confidence.

You might be thinking, how could the people I spend time with make me less or more confident?
Well here is the answer. If you bother with people you aren't comfortable around, you get less confident. You may feel since they are 'dodgy' or something or not safe, maybe they have a bad habit eg. smoking, drinking, drugs, manipulative. When you haven't got the confidence to talk or be around your friends properly, that probably has an impact on your overall confidence, taking it downwards.

The environment is pretty similar. When you are in a clean, tidy environment you feel better and more confident. Whereas if you had to walk through or do a presentation in a dirty messy room, you probably will get distracted a lot and feel un-neat.

Sorry that today's post isn't a long one guys.
I feel really tired after a long, half-uphill walk!
Have a great Monday, even though Schools back in:(

Mystery Sunday #3 | Tattoo Ideas♥

Hello everyone, Happy Sunday!
Today since it's Mystery Monday I thought I'd do something a little bit different.
Whilst I was thinking of inspiration, I seen a couple of photos of cute tattoo's.
My dad's a tattoo artist so he also makes good ideas and knows what looks the best on certain people in certain places.
Example: If you thought it looked best on your leg, he might say 'well personally by the size, I'd say it would look a lot better on your shoulder'
I know a lot of people who want tattoos and got tattoos, most of them are sure of what they want, when others are unsure and stuck on what to choose, so I'm going to put some photos and a mini-review.
DISCLAIMER: This is all my personal preference, if you don't like it, I'm in no way saying you have to have a tattoo or a certain design.


This tattoo is really cute, and if you want to remind yourself or encourage yourself to be possitive and go for your dreams, well now you have a reminder everytime you look at your wrist! (Which when you think about it, is quite a lot considering how much you use them!)
By the way, if you're put off by the red-ish color around it, either the person has chose to have that tint on it, or it's the mark that's there for a day or two after having a tattoo done. I also highly recommend you keep it in the black color, as when you have a color other than black or maybe dark blue, it fades away. (Unless you have a black outline then that's okay)


I think this is ADORABLE if you're a dog lover - like myself. It's cute, simple, and I know when I see the paw prints I automatically think about dogs that I love & want. (P.S I want a husky, I love Scotties, Westies & Grey Hounds!) It may be a good memorial tattoo to remember your old dog, but if it makes you sad, I wouldn't suggest having it on your wrist because you'll probably get sad a lot!


Last but not least, this cute design for sure is a great insperation,
It's just so cute and I don't have much to say about it other than, it's adorable!

I hope you liked Sunday's post, I know it's a little different,
but still, I hope you like it.
Have a great Sunday :)

DIY Saturday | Crayon Wall Art ♥

Happy Saturday!

Today I'll be writing instructions to make this simple, artistic Crayon Wall Art!

It looks complex, but in reality - it's actually simplistic! 

You will need:

• A canvas

This can be any size, depending on how many crayons you plan on using and really what size you want!

• A pack of crayons!

I've only seen this DIY done with Crayola crayons, so whether or not this will work with other crayons, I don't know.

• A hair dryer

This is what you will use to make the melted effect!

• A glue gun, or a type of super strong glue

Step 1

Aline the crayons in what order you would like them to be in, you can color co-ordinate, use only a couple of crayons, whatever you like, I recommend the rainbow because I just think it looks super adorable!

Step 2

Using a glue gun, or a really strong type of glue, stick the crayons to the top of the canvas and wait for it to dry.

Step 3

Using a hairdryer, hold it over the crayons for a couple of minutes, allowing the crayon to melt and run down the canvas

This shouldn't take to long to dry, but when it's done, the canvas is done!

I hope you liked today's DIY, have great day and come back tomorrow for Sunday's post!

Building Your Beauty | #2 Friday **LATE**♥♥

Welcome back everyone,
today is Friday, so it's another Building Your Beauty (And storage) collection type of post.
In the previous Friday Building Your Beauty post we talked a little bit on how to earn money, and about looking online for make-up before going to your local shops.

In this post, I'm going to talk a little about storage for beginners, as you hardly want to be splashing out big bucks on massive storage draws when you haven't got enough make-up yet and could make some out of cardboard and paint that will be pretty enough, and more efficient.
You can find loads of DIYS on make-up storage on youtube and online forums. You can also make your own out of cardboard, paint, sellotape and maybe some pretty ribbon.
There is also in-expensive sites and stores (eg. $/£ stores) that sell drawers or containers that could be handy and a temporary solution.

By having separate compartments within your storage methods, whether it be a drawer, a home-made storage box, a container, you can section out your make-up into categories.

For example:

• Face
• Eyes
• Lips

In face, you would have your foundation, concealer, powder and blushes

In eyes, you would have your shadows, eyebrow shadows, eyeliners and mascaras

Then in lips, you would have your lip balms, lip gloss, and lipsticks

This organizes your make-up, so when you have your bigger collection, you don't have a pile of un-organised mess to sort out, so keep it organised from the beginning and it won't be such a chore when it gets bigger.

Spa Thursday | #2 ♥ **LATE**

Hello my cherry pies :)
Since it's 2015, and the first day of a new year, as I previously wrote, I'll be restarting my blog (Still to the same schedule, that's officially permanent as of now)
So it's the second edition to SPA THURSDAY, and today we'll be talking about face masks, and facial wipes.

When you clear pores, acne, and just live your everyday life, everyone tends to build up germs and dirt onto their faces, some damaging skin - and even if it doesn't, face masks and wipes still should be used from a weekly/daily/monthly basis depending on the product.
I use the pretty strawberry milkshake mud mask twice a week for 15 minutes to make my face smooth and help revent pores building up, Sensitive skin wipes to remove make-up more gently and they are also good to wash my face with daily because of my sensitive skin.
I also use Vitiamian E facial wipes and this gives a clean, fresh & healthy glow to my face for the rest of the day!
There are plenty of good products out there to keep your face healthy, as it's not just washing your clothes body and hair you need to focus on!
The most sensitive affective parts of your face are your eyes and your lips, they can catch affections and build up dirt easy, so it's really important you can prevent this!
NOT TO MENTION***
By doing things like this and washing your face as often as possible/allowed, you go a couple more years without wrinkles I've read to believe, so it is worth it!

Thanks for reading today's post, I hope you now understand the importance of keeping your face clean and the benefits of using certain products.
Thanks again!
