2019 Update

Hey all..
So I haven't kept to nothing I planned due to you know, not being ready or in my creative mind and all that jazz. However I do intend to keep doing these updates so you know I'm still here and so I can write in the future (Soon!!) in a creative positive mind set and place. However I know I'd of lost a lot of followers so being able to put a schedule in place is important to build that again. I'm going to write some ideas down and work on some writing and tips to post here! I hope if your still here and reading you'll follow me in the future.
Thanks all :)

New Content? New Schedule! Massive Update! Welcome

Hello everybody, to people who still come here to read my posts every once in a while, and for those of you who are new. Yes, new, so! Due to a new job I've taken up to help support myself; and of course my makeup obsession! Recently I've also been thinking about starting my youtube back up. My usual camcorder has been sold but a new job is coming up soon and I'm hoping after getting some things I need to sort out done, I could get some recording equipment. Till then, my good old phone and very basic editing skills should help me through. So this job,I have become a Oriflame Consultant. I've never done nothing like this before but I'm hoping my passion for makeup can help me through this journey.Now like any dream job, it's flexible to myself, and all at home! Which means you don't have to be near by for me to help you with an order, or show you the products, or for you to join my Facebook group and join in with raffles, giveaways, updates on new offers and so much more every single week! Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/418357235255200/
Also, if you want to support me and have any support or help with your orders from me, you can use this link to purchase your items through the website! 
Of course I'm going to tell you what my next video idea is, and it's going to be a whole face of makeup using sample makeup, from Oriflames products! This may take a couple of weeks until I actually post it, but that's because I'm planning on doing a giveaway with a whole ton of sample products for the winner to try out.
Keep your eyes peeled guys, this blog is about to blow up.Now I'm changing our old schedule completely! Posts will be up 2-3 times per week. [I'm not sure what days yet]They will include the latest trendy makeup or products about, offers going on with Oriflame and samples with photos and my opinion. Then, for those who haven't joined my facebook group yet, current giveaways and raffles going on!

Diet Plans|Veganism|Goals| New Theme For A While?!

Hey guys, so I know it's been a while but I've finally moved and will be starting to upload new videos soon, but more importantly I'm currently working things out to go on a diet, which hopefully I can convert to Veganism within time. Set myself goals, and use this blog as my base for a while?

So you may be wondering what I mean by a while.. I want to get myself use to a diet then try to convert into Veganism and bring you all on my journey. I'm giving myself a year to convert and hit my first goals to get me going. Which means I would like to post for a year every so often, even if it's as little as once a month. I will of course try to add more than that and start writing pre-posts again. Once I've eased myself into it and found a better schedule maybe I will start posting a few beauty things a long the way, I know my youtube will be. I would also like to bring some of my life style changed into my youtube Channel so if anyone is interested in seeing that, keep your eyes peeled!

So this was a little update for yall and some things you may be seeing soon.. If you want to be part of it I am thinking on posting a chat box up on this blog so we can all speak about it and progress and ideas and give love and support!

See ya all soon, XOXO

2017... Back in time?| NO MORE SCHOOL?! EVER?!

Hey people!
Well I mean, if there is anyone reading there?
If so, I guess I owe you a little explanation on my recent or should I say very un recent lack of activity,
All I can really say is the truth, my new (second new infact) laptop has broken, and I've only just managed to get back into the whole use of computers and laptops. Cliche I know, but there's more.
This entire time I have not only been bettering myself but working on a load of things to upgrade my confidence. Get experience, meet new people and decide my path of education as I am now 16 guys and honestly I must say I am still slightly unsure but if I need to go back and do things or change my mind I will because I rather do that than stress too much over it.
I also left school/a course with a load of good people and I thank them greatly for their coping mechanisms with me because my God I was defiantly not the easiest or appropriate student. It made it so easier going there and seeing the workers and teachers there as friends and positives outlets on life. I am forever grateful for everything they done for me and for putting up with me when my school decided not too. Just being there when everyone else wasn't, got me through some toughest of days without them ever realising it. Thank you if you ever see this, I wish you the best future. Good luck with your careers all, and Baldy, keep up the maths! Thanks for looking out for us all. And other baldy with glasses :)
As for the Kelly Holmes Trust Project that I went on for a short period of five weeks, I owe you everything. Okay so that sounds SOOO dramatic! But you would never understand if you didn't try it out.. They aren't like every other basic ass course. They do so much and the people I met there have seriously impacted my life in ways you could never imagine. I will always be there for you guys because you got me through the darkest of days and you're still here after everything! I felt a connection with you all and it was seriously a pleasure to work and complete challenges with you, I would of never pushed myself to do even half the things you guys helped me through and now I can say I've done it and YES of course I would do it again! Also if any of you do see this for whatever reason, I'm planning on making a post dedicated to everything to do with the course and you guys as individuals and as a group so maybe check back soon? :)

AND.... (the heck there's more??)
Of course I'm going to be posting again. But I'm due to move and start my next path of education pretty much in June. I am still going to try my best to post but with a twist, I'm going to be posting updates of my educational paths and helping those younger than myself understand the importance of picking a path and how to find it, even if I got to find support forums or even, make one myself. That's right! Make one myself, on this blog so you guys can interact with eachother! Crazy right?

OHH ANDDDDD..
I've looked back and realised I've pretty much lost the theme of this blog but I do like the variety because it means I can change to anything I'm into at the moment keeping me in line to write and hopefully for you guys to read. But on that note, a big part of my life STILL is beauty, and my makeup collection well its got a little cram packed with drugstore products. So with that I'd love to tell you every week I post atleast one of the posts will be beauty based keeping theme!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, and excitingly...
You see that description about the blog at the top? Well it's said Youtube coming soon for a while now and I've kind of got a channel... with videos, that i post every week or two. Including hauls, collections, and more! If you guys want to see that then pretty soon when I start getting views again and I re-arrange the blogs appearance to something a little more modern, I will pop the link up there for you guys to check out and subscribe if you would like!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STILL BEING HERE GUYS, I LOVE YOU ALL

Busy Busy Busy

Hey guys so I remembered a while ago me and my friend made a blog about an online game known as stardoll, it really needs updating and stuff and it was such a popular blog with over a hundred posts! We made videos for it and all sorts, we really customized it well and it was great! One problem.. I can't remember the password or email and we haven't posted since 2014! It could really do with a lot of updates but since we can't get in there yet its just a long proccess that we're working really hard to achieve.
Other than that I've joined Cadets, and have had a few exams that I think I've failed and my asthmas all over the place I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm way too busy to be posting right now. But as soon as I'm at a place where I will be able to consistantly post I will get straight onto it!
I hope you're all doing well and I hope to speak to you all soon, see you guys as soon as I can!:)

Looking for A Job& New Youtube Videos| Back to YouNow?

Hello everyone,
so I haven't posted in quite a while but here is why.
I am currently looking for a job in order to save up for future things and to be able to go out, experience more things and to have a little more of a 'purpose' I guess you could say.
I have new videos up on my channel, they are not edited to the best of my abilities if at all, but that is because I've purchased the camcorders but am yet to become familiar with them enough to use them for better quality e.t.c.
Anyway, I have decided that over the next couple of weeks, as I am hoping to get a job based at home in my office, it would be appropriate of me to begin doing live videos on younow again! I enjoyed speaking with everyone and building a bigger audience. I met new youtubers, bloggers and even made a pen pal!
When I next decide to go live, I will make a post letting you all know what day and time so we can all speak and you can tell me what you want to see from this blog, as we all know I tend to change the theme a lot.
Also I am planning on cutting the posts down to once or twice a week, which would make it easier to keep on schedule, but don't worry! You wouldn't be missing out as I would happily put in a lot more information and photos for you all.
Have a good day everyone,
- Tara

Experiences| Confidence Building (Sunday)

Hello fellow bloggers!
Just something real quick before we start,
I haven't yet decided what I'll be changing things around too on the blog eg, themes and days.
Until I do, I'll be following what's currently posted, hence Build your Confidence Monday!
Anyway, I decided because I haven't actually wrote any experiences, even though I say I will in the title, I would do an experience with a lack of confidence I've had and hopefully you'll be able to relate! If not, that's okay because you may be able to relate to one of the other posts or one I post in future. Everybody is different hey?
Today I'm going to write about one that I think we probably all had a few confidence issues with, but here is my point of view.

'The Last Day of Primary School

and

First Day of Secondary School'

I will not lie to you. Lets go back a couple months. I had always been happy in primary school. It was kind of four of us in the entire class who were, well, 'more advanced' than the rest and we always sat together and done work together and help the teachers out. We was all excited to go to secondary school together, we didn't want to leave eachothers side! So, about a month before we left primary, everything changed. There was new girls, and there were arguments. I kind of got left. The only thing that didn't change was the other two boys that sat on the table with us. It left me with no friends, except the boys in class of course. But slowly we became distant. The girls wouldn't lay off. Then the rest was quite a blur but one of the girls were picking on my baby brother and he was/is my everything. I stormed out of the big kids play yard to the little kids yard, I pushed her over and grabbed my little brother and walked around the school where we werent allowed. I ignored all the teachers shouting and running after us. I picked him up and walked home. Quite frankly this was the point when everything changed. I realised I had the power to do whatever I wanted, and that I wasn't going to take shit of anyone. When I was to be picked up the next day, a bunch of angry parents were in the office including my mam. I wondered why and then they all told me how 'Tara-lee is a fat slut' was wrote on the school gates. Nobody ever admitted to that. Sir tried to protect them. He was denying that they were bullying me to my mother, 'as Taras never mentioned it' but lets face it. I was a scared little kid and every time you tried to tell a teacher something you'd always get 'Stop telling tales go play' so all you really could do is go home and tell your mam or dad or nan. It wasn't until the day before the last that Sir realised I was being bullied. I'm not sure how but he did and he made a big speach infront of the class saying the ones who were doing it were not welcome back into the school, ever. Then clearly the guilty ones broke down in tears and stuff. I spent the last day with the boys and we were allowed to help sir which sounds kinda lame but in primary that was like a privilege. 
The next bit is personal to me, but I'm going to try and be open and share this with you guys so that you may be able to relate/understand more. I felt in year six as if I was more mature than anyone else. I had my first set of suicidal thoughts. I kept having negative thoughts. I had tantrums, I was already on the laptop speaking to people. I had a strong passion for 'reading and correct grammar' so it came as a shock to others, but not me when I self harmed for the first time. I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. But regaurdless I did it. Little did I know that, that one mistake, that one low moment would lead too the next four years of misery, still ongoing. 
The holiday I spent on my laptop. Listening to Mayday Parade like I still do today. With the whole money making schemes and youtubers.
It was the big day. The first day of secondary school. But it was different for me as I got put into a secondary school away from the kids that bullied me in primary. So I started somewhere with no friends. Nobody I knew there except my cousins. One had already been there for a year and had all her friends and life sorted, the other was started the same time as me but he had friends from primary and he was good looking, which put him to the top straight away. I on the other hand, was very very overweight, unattractive and a little bit, well depressed. My cousin was really nice to me and brought me to a big group of girls that tried to speak to me but I could feel that they knew I was a bit, off. I walked away and stood on my own holding back the tears as I was the only child stood alone, also I was scared of people looking at me and my repulsive body. I was ashamed. I now regret ever walking away from them girls. They were the pretty, most popular girls of my year. They got a really strong bond and to think I could of been part of that sucks. 
I guess though, now it's been four years that things have changed I never would of thought back then that I'd be the person I am now with the friends and experiences I've had till this very day.
Don't dwell on the past or present, think about how great things can go in the future because that's the only thing in the long run that's going to keep you motivated and going!

Goals&Echievments | Tuesday | no.2

Hello everyone,
last week I put up some goals I would like to achieve! If there is a big cross through them, I achieved them and if not, I didn't and therefore will be trying to achieve them this week.

First of all was too;
Make a good start on my room
Secondly was too;
Gain one piece of make-up
Last of all was too;
Drink more water

I am happy to say that I achieved my goals by simply reminding myself of what I had too do, when you give yourself a small amount of little goals it is hard to believe how much you actually adapt to them and don't struggle. In the long run these could be really useful things to maintain.

This week, I'm going to set myself three new goals;

1. Clean my room
2. Focus on my drawings
3. Eat some more fruit

Let me know what your goals are this week, my twitter and younow is in the bio, or you can comment. Also let me know what you achieved last week! I'd love to hear about it.
I'll let you all know next week on what I achieved and my new goals.
Thanks for reading all,
-Taraaa:)

Society Views | Friday | Police Officers

Hello everyone,
Today I'll be writing about Police Officers.
Before I get started I would just like to say this is my preferences on the system! If you have a completely different opinion, or a minor different opinion, that is great and I would love to hear it from your perspective, this can be up for DEBATE but I do not intend to be criticize for my opinion as everyone has had their own experiences, own thoughts and own interpretations on why they think certain things about certain matters.

The big bag wolf&the three pigs

Assuming we're all familiar with the story of the big bag wolf and the three little pigs, I feel as if this is relative to the youth around my area today. In other countries, based upon what I read officers walk around with their guns, and tazors and things of that sort. I have seen people in this country with guns, not yet to see one with a tazor. Regardless, this gives me the impression they are able to sort things out straight away, correct me if I am wrong as I am unaware of how things work over there but once again this my opinion. In this country, because of how little the 'pigs' try to work. It takes like three officers on one TEENAGER! Yes, I mean friends of mine are a little excuse my language, fucking mental but that is not my point. The officers simply do not try, they say a few words and if you refuse to go along with what they say, which most do because they make absolutely no fucking sense or drag things out or do not get your side or understand the full story simply because they can not be fucking bothered to listen, they call some more police or just send a warrant out for your arrest if you fail to attend court. Obviously when your support workers are telling you there is a high chance you're going to be sent down for the next eight months you are going to not show up. They spend more time throwing out lousy fines for the most stupid of things, eg. I know somebody (not putting names up for privacy reasons) who dropped a ten pound note and got fined for LITTERING. Excuse me? Is that just plain ignorance? And another thing that happened to a person I know, they got fined for a small strand of cotton falling from the back of their jumper. For a start, how are they even meant to know it fell if its so small, and from behind them. Also the ONLY reason the officers knew was because they were walking behind her. Any further and they wouldn't of even noticed, and how were they meant to know it fell of the back of her jumper unless they were staring if you get what I'm saying? It is beyond me. 

The WORST thing I've seen is a copper grab my friends hair, pull her down to the ground gripping her till she shouted out in pain, shouting in her face 'FUCK UP, YOU DON'T SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!!!' and then the other coppers came around the corner and she was running with us, he puller her up shouting 'get up get up now' as if she had THREW HERSELF to the floor. When me and some of the other people there tried to explain to the other cops what had happened, the copper tried to say she had insulted him for him to do these things... as we said they were un-true they kind of ignored us basically saying to one of the boys telling them that it was lies and that an officer wouldn't of reacted that way for no reason. I am sorry but when you signed up for the job, you didn't sign up to attack a teenager like that WITH OR WITHOUT reason. May I just say she was caught in an area she shouldn't of been because of her asbo? Yet it was a necessary route to get to college which was her ONLY form of education, that they are meant to support. 

I'm sure there are good things that coppers do in the UK, of course their must be. But in my path I am yet to find a decent copper or any that has done any good close to home. If and when my experience changes, I will write another post of the positive side. Till then I will not lie and say a bunch of shit that makes them sound great when I've never seen them in that light.

NOTICE
If the language in this offends you my apologies, just so you are all aware the language in these Friday posts may not be the most appropriate, but it is my way of getting across my passion and emotion on the subject. Also all the text written is true but I have not included names or anything for the security of the officers and 'so called criminals' mentioned. I also understand they do a lot of good and without them there would be no order. They just need to be properly evaluated or honest to their job before each individual one gets my personal approval which does not matter to probably everyone but still.  

Thank you everyone for reading:)

Healthy Lifestyle | Wednesday | Edition 2

Healthy Lifestyle #2

Hey guys, so today I kinda wanna make a confession. Not only to clear my system of this, but to explain about how either this whole 'healthy lifestyle' thing is going to work, or so you understand that I'm still currently deciding whether to focus my time and efforts on this theme or not.
If you know me in real life, you'll know I'm overweight, Very overweight.
Some say I'm not but I know I am and people have told me.
I have lead a 'healthy lifestyle' a few times before where I've lost over a stone and kept it off.
I've also been in the position of gaining it back, starving, purging, staying in so nobody can look at my gross body and all that stuff. I'm constantly thinking about weight loss among side other things. I'm constantly imagining my body with more definition, muscles, a smaller skinny waist. A curvy body, a 'average' body and all the possibilities. I've studies and researched and tested out a LOT of different things to know exactly what I'm talking about and the dangers, pros and cons of all this stuff. But in reality, even though I got the knowledge of a dietitian and personal trainer after years and years of experience, I still chose to do unhealthy things in order for a quick result.
Then maybe now you could understand me when I say I feel like a hypocrite writing this section on my blog. It's something I'm really passionate about and love writing about but there's the after embarrassment of 'oh god, what if someone who knows how fat i am reads this? what if they think I'm speaking (excuse my language) shit or never lost the weight? what if they've only known me a week and think I'm full of myself? what if they think I'm dieting but then see me eat an entire diary milk chocolate bar?' and quite frankly it scares me a little bit.

I have considered taking a different aspect on the entire thing though. Maybe on a Wednesday it could be all to do with food or exercise. The good, the bad and the pros and cons of both sides. Sometimes it could be mixed up like a kind of 'how to make a..' or trying out these 'ana' diets on the web and giving a review and response. Kind of like taking my research a bit further and sharing it with you. I know it's been done on youtube, other blogs and sometimes TV but to do it first hand and share with you what works, how it felt ect. There could also be days where I could post about the other side of things too, e.g binge eating and how easy it is to eat so much food at once, but the calories consumed and how many days worth of calories eaten. Even though its something terrible to think about when you're addicted to eating the entire universe like me but it may make you a bit more aware the next time you feel like binge eating, and hopefully that will help you all stuck in the same position as me. Please let me know on twitter or in the comments if this is a good idea or not.

Also I know this post may come across a little personal with you all but I decided not to be too open, but be a bit more open with you all and maybe include the reason behind some of my choices for you all.

Thanks for reading my sweeties, good day all

Charger Organiser | DIY | Thursday

Good evening readers,
If you looked at the notice at the bottom of yesterdays post you would all know about my current living arrangements. This also means I may be busier some days than others. I know this may come across as lazy, but that is not what I'm trying to do. As I did not want to leave you guys without a post today, I am going to find a video from Youtube and put it below here and a little section at the bottom about the youtuber. Posts should be back to normal by tomorrow! Hope you all enjoy this little break from reading I guess!



This account does not get enough recognition! It basically is how to make things that most people find useful around every house hold, but yet it looks as if you had gone and bought it. It also may be more affordable, and ideal for you if you're on a budget. Some things you can not purchase, but it does help out, and really they should sell them.

Healthy Lifestyle| Wednesday | Edition 1

Hello everyone!
This post may be up a little late, but I will be explaining why to you at the end in a short notice. (Tell me if you prefer this rather than me writing an entire post on it)

If you've been reading my blog for a rather long time over the past two years as I know a couple of you who have reached out to me on twitter and I know you have been, you'd know I used to do a healthy lifestyle post before. Well, over the last two years I have had so much more experiences and found different things out and instead of continuing them kind of posts, I am going to start from scratch now. If things seem similar over the next couple of posts then that is the reason why. Here is edition one, and I'm actually going to be starting my healthy life style tomorrow so I can follow along to with my progress.

Many of us have tried these 'diets' and 'intense training' and I just want to start of by saying, that's all good if you want to struggle and feel sick straight away. Also, this is NOT a guide of dieting and intense training. This is about slowly changing things in your life for your health benefit, along with weight loss and slowly building up muscle. From experience, I have found do it gradually keeps the weight off, the muscles strong, and is easier to put into a habit.
Before we start with the foods, and exercises and all that stuff, the most important thing to do to make sure you succeed is to find what MOTIVATES YOU. The same thing isn't going to work for everyone. Here is a few ideas to motivate yourself;
1. Keep notices on your phone
They could be a quote that motivates you to get fit, or a photo. This way even when you're not eating or switching classes or at lunch time it will remind you that you are changing your lifestyle because at first a lot of the time you forget you're actually trying to cut down on sugars and things, then think you've 'messed up' today and will start again tomorrow. Remind yourself that that is an excuse. You are NOT getting any closer to your goal by waiting to start till tomorrow. Start NOW. Change NOW.

2. Create a pin board on pintrest and spend ten minutes a day adding to your board

















This is something I do, as you can see above and if you want to check out my boards just click on them! The one I use the most is on private, and you guys can make one on private too if you don't want anyone to see it or know what inspires you. It may come across as personal to some people as it does to some extent to myself. Click on Create a board to set up your own account.

3. Keep images on your phone that motivate you
I used to do this all the time, in fact I still have some photos on my phone that I look at during lunch and break times at school to remind me of my goals. It is actually quite amusing in my opinion to go and find these quotes and images on google as it is something that motivates me and makes me feel good about myself and get a clearer image of what I want in my mind which obviously, motivates me more!

4. Put posters on your wall
This one may come across as weird, but if you was to put up on your wall your goals, your ideal body, little quotes etc. you will see them basically every single day, and it will remind you when you wake up and before you go to sleep that you got goals to achieve and that everyone, has the power to do it with a load of hard work and effort. In the end its worth it!

5. Keep a diary of your goals and progress
Once again, this may seem a little of sorts but if you keep a diary containing all your goals, your progress and all that kind of information, you can remind yourself to write in it daily and add little things in even if its just a few words or a doodle. When you feel like giving up you can flick through this and see how good you're doing, and think do you really want to quit now? Don't you want your goal bad enough? You are cape able.

NOTICE
Okay guys so a little notice why this is late, and about my posting schedule.
As you all know I'm currently in the process of moving into a new house, so if posts are late or I do not post on a certain day, it just simply means I have things I have to do. As soon as that is all done I will be pre-writing my posts so I will be able to do things through out the week, without missing a post. When this is all done I will be able to set a time everyday that a new post will be up. 

Thank you for reading guys, edition 2 will be posted this time next week.

Goals&Achievements|Tuesday


Helllooo everyone!
Here is some goals that I want to achieve by next week;
1. Made a good start on my new room
2. Gain one new piece of make up
3. Drink more water

I know this is not a lot, but its really next week when the post will start to get bigger and explain more as I get to write of what I achieved, new goals and things like that. I will be asking you guys on twitter about your goals of the week and what you achieved last week and featuring it in my next post.
I think this is the shortest post I've ever published?!
Oh well..

☺Notice | New Themes☺

Hello everyone!
(I'm aware this is a day late, my apologies)
As you can tell  by the title, there are now new themes! Now of course you might recognise a couple of them, but they may be posted on different days in a different way e.g different part of the theme. Originally I started this blog with the intentions of it being based completely as beauty, hence why the blog is basically called beauty blogger. After owning this blog for nearly two years my interests have changed. As selfish as that sounds, I cannot write about something every single day that I no longer have a passion for. Therefore, I added some new themes and got rid of some of the old ones. I've kept a few that I still feel as if I can write a lot about, and are important or may help the readers of my blog. Now I'm going to tell you the new themes and explain them a little bit to you, also they're starting straight away. Because of how fast I'm going to be transferring things, Today (Monday 14/03/2016) I'm going to put up two posts. The new theme, so you can get a taste of what it's about. That post may be up by 8 o'clock UK time as it is a new set out and needs some thinking upon.

Monday - Weekly Agenda (plans)
A Weekly Agenda on a Monday, what a way to organise your life! Using either a website or self made stencil, I'm going to fill in my Agenda for the week. I will leave a link to either a clear copy, or the website I used to you too can fill out your own Agenda! Now I know we don't all know everything we're going to do on a Monday morning, but I will be going back and editing it when I get new plans, I may not include some things for personal and safety reasons. You can do the same too, but make it private or save it on your computer/phone/laptop or you could even copy it into a document and print it out for yourself. I will be adding a Key so if you do something then think oh I need to remember that or I wish I added that, you still can! (If you have any suggestions, changes, issues with this new post please do not hesitate to contact me on my social media or in the comments section)

Tuesday - Goals/Achievements (weekly)
This one is a little self explanatory. On a Tuesday, I will be setting goals for the week for myself, and then after the first post I will also include what I actually achieved of the last weeks goals. This may feel as if its for personal use, but to make it more fun you guys can join along, and I'll be asking on my twitter and younow when I actually start live streaming, some of you guys your weekly goals and last weeks achievements and featuring it on this blog! Also, if you haven't got a younow account I suggest looking it up. It's for live streaming, you can connect with facebook or twitter. If you're interested in seeing my live streams (based on youtubers and this blog) my name is @taralovescookie on there.

Wednesday - Healthy Lifestyle (ideas)
On a Wednesday, kind of mid-week there will be a post up all about either healthy eating, fitness, quotes and anything really to encourage a healthy lifestyle of others. Sometimes this will be applied to myself and other times not. If you're not interested in this stuff, and you're unhappy with yourself but do not have the power to lose or gain weight, keep an eye out on the confidence section on a Sunday as there will be body confidence posts in future.

Thursday - DIY's (Do it yourself tutorials)
One of my favourite things to do, is do things myself! On a Thursday I'll be writing about how to make things our of cardboard, old things, new things, anything! I'll be trying to make all different things so eventually you may be able to find a post useful or think that you'd like to do that! Send me your results on twitter and tell me about it on younow, and I'll be more than happy to feature it on my blog, if you would like. You may also leave suggestions in the comments of what DIY's you'd like me to try!

Friday - Society Views (Drugs,Sex etc.)
Okay so one of my hobbies, is participating in conversations and debates about social views. My friends and I can spend hours on end just speaking about other peoples concept of drug use, smoking, sex, age limits and things of that type. We speak about our own experiences and it is a really good pass time and you get a chance to put your perspective out there in a safe environment where you wont be judged! I know that sounds a bit ironic on the internet, but on this blog all comments are monitored and no unnecessary comments will be posted! I was thinking on putting live chats up about this so we can all discuss the matter.

Saturday - Before&After (make up&hair)
Not forgetting the real reason I started this blog, and I still have a strong interest in beauty and hairstyles. On a Saturday, either on myself or on a friend, I will create a different hair and make up look and create a before and after. Then I will leave a review by the one having their face done. Like I said, this could be me or a friend depending on what I'm actually meant to be doing that day or what I can plan.

Sunday - Confidence Building (Coping Mechanisms)
Last but defiantly not least, Confidence Building. It's been renamed, but this used to be the Monday post. The new version will occasionally have posts including copy mechanisms on how to cope during anxiety attacks, when your feeling low or are in arguments. I know that sounds irrelevant, but in personal experience that really does have a big impact on your own confidence. 

I hope you're all as excited for this new theme as I am!

Where have I been? | Mystery Sunday ♥

Hello everyone,
Happy Sunday!
As I previously mentioned, at some point I would be doing a post of what I've been up to, what's been going on in my life and that kind of stuff if you were all interested. I thought, instead of overloading you with posts, I would make it my mystery post for this week!
Now, if you've been reading my blog you would probably know that I haven't posted or been active for around about a year! A lot of things have been happening in this year.

1. My mother and little brother moved out
- I still see and speak to my little brother, I love him to bits and even though we don't always bond and get along he will always be my little brother

2. My dad got engaged!
- We had the engagement party the other week, it went brilliantly and I'm glad he has found somebody for him and hope fully they'll stay together now.

3. We've moved from a house to a two bedroom flat closer to my dads fiancée and we're still currently working on it now but it seems brilliant, and if you've read my other posts you'd know I had two different rooms in my old house done out, and now we've moved and I got to have my other room done out now and I think I'm going to be having this one for a very long time now!

4. Along with a lot of dramas, parties, memory's etc. I've had a really busy year. I hope you all understand this is why I haven't been posting. But now I finally can get back to one of my favourite hobbies, writing on this blog for you all.

OTHER NOTICES
I've decided that once my room is all set up, to start a make up collection from scratch and dig out my camcorders, charge them up and start my youtube account all over again. This time, because of the move and the change of lifestyle I really do believe I will be able to keep this up and if it works out it will be another hobby that I do enjoy doing.
In about 2 weeks, (26/03/2016) there is a possibility I will be posting reaching out to you all asking someone to take over one day of the week. This would allow you to get on with your current life, yet have an entire 6 days to do little bits and create a good post.
More will be explained nearer the time.

Thank you for reading. - Tara-lee

ARTISTIC CANVASES| DIY Saturday♥

Hey everyone!
So I spent hours watching videos, looking on the web and trying to find some DIY room things that I could maybe add a personal twist too and post! But everything I watch is kinda the same and cost a bit of money to recreate, so I thought I'd just write about something that's more money efficient, and you can all make to your own taste or room theme! 
Also I'm doing a SECOND post some time next week to explain to you where I've been and what is actually going on in my life at the moment, if you guys are interesting in reading about it.
Anyway, back to it! Artistic canvases! I'm going to post a few examples below and tell you all how to do it, that's if you don't want to try it out yourself.
NOTICE: I FOUND ALL THESE IMAGES ON GOOGLE! I AM NOT CLAIMING THEM TO BE MY OWN. For those who are wondering, I will start using my own images in about two weeks time!:)

Here are a few ideas I've copied off the internet, if they aren't a bit self explanatory, here is my perspective on how to do them below.

1. The first one you see, looks very cool and relaxing. But you can personalise this up.
Either take some photos of places you like, wanna go, been, look pretty etc. from the internet and print them out. 
Or, you could get your own photos of places you've been etc.
Take your scissors, and cut them into either triangles, circles or any other shape you prefer.
Line them up how you would like, and bond them to the canvas using any bonding agent you have/can get.

2. Line up all the canvases you have, and apply a sticker or paint one big picture using all the canvases together. You can use blue tac to keep them together stronger. Once your happy with the drawing you've got, let it dry then take off the blue tac. You can then separate them.

3. The third one you may need to purchase some plastic animal figures. Paint them with a few good coats of coloured paint. Paint the canvas a plain colour, then use a strong bonding agent to attach them once they're both bone dry. 

4. Grab a couple of different sized canvases and a few different shades of the same colour, or different colours depending on your personal taste. Paint them all different bold colours, then when dry move them around together to find your best fit. You can then hang them up.

Returning

Hey everyone, so I know I haven't posted for like a year now...
oops..

well I'm going to start (either from now or Monday) posting again!

I'm also going to open a new twitter account back up, as my old one is basically full of people spamming me. I'm going to try and re-connect with a few of you so as soon as I set it up I'll post it here for you all to go check it out and chuck me a DM!
I was also thinking, if I can keep this up for a few more months, taking on some writers to post when I'm un able too. Of course, thats going to be a bit further down the line but it'd be good if you start speaking to me now so I can start gaining trust a take a few of your ideas on board!

I hope you all haven't lost intrest, and if you have give me new ideas,
new posts, new themes and let me know what you're all into!

I am still hoping to post every day but if I can not, help is always appreciated and looked into.
Thanks for reading,
Tara

☀ Back ☀

☀ Hello everyone! 
So I haven't posted in quite a while, and here's why. 
For Christmas, ya'll know how I was so excited for my new laptop, and how I was going to be able to post more often and write up more posts? Well something happened and my laptop has broke. I don't know when or if I'll be able to get a new one. If I do it will be a couple of months maybe. So I'm back on the computer, after getting the mouse fixed, and the inspiration to start working back on my blog has come! I'm also going to be starting my Youtube account back up, and get back on twitter but not right away.I'll start my Youtube back up when I have my new room ready. (Yes, I just had my room done out and it's all perfect, but any time from now up to this time next year, I'll be able/moved into the biggest bedroom!) I think that it's more ideal to run my Youtube channel then because I'll have more space and can set up my own little area ready to record. When I get my laptop back, I will open up my twitter and start using it daily/often again! Until then, I will post on the blog one time per week. Since it's the Easter Holidays, and I'll probably be bored a lot, there might be a lot more posts during the next two weeks, or there might not be!
I've still got near on 100 views since I stopped posting, so thanks for still showing interest. I feel as if the viewers will come back when I have my laptop on and open up my twitter and put up notifications when I have new post. Thank you for checking the block out! 
☀ Happy Easter Holiday!

Hello There :) | Updates, New Blog&Interests

Hello everyone,
so I haven't made a post in a while.
Mainly because I don't really know what to do anymore.
What to post, when to post, ect.
Don't get me wrong, I love typing up posts and sharing opinions and interests, my love for writing and imaginative posts is far to strong to just give up. I don't want to give up.
Just the entire 'beauty' project is kind of becoming boring to me.
In the past I've made a lot of blogs;

  • 4 different Stardoll information blogs 
  • 3 Story writing blogs
  • 2 blogs on fiction writing with a close friend
  • 2 diary blogs
  • 1 song writing blog
  • 2 beauty blogs (one being this one)
And all of them have ended because I get bored and give up. 
So, what if instead of giving this up, I just change it around sometimes? 
I'm going to be posting random things at random times on this blog... 
I'll let you all know when, or you can just check back sometimes.

Till then, I'll leave the link for my new writing blog here. 
I'm going to ask my friend to help me write for it, it's going to be a story from different points of views about how society sucks and how we see ourselves and others. To try and get people to understand why we are who we are and what we do. It's going to be like fiction writing along with parts of our feelings and thoughts and views, but what you don't know is what parts are real and which aren't.
