Well Hello There

Hey guys, I can't ever seem to keep this blog consistent. I don't have a routine and if I write something I always read it over and go "GGAAHH!!!! This is rubbish! NO ONE, not even my weird and wonderful assortment of friends will want to read this" and it hit CTRL+A the DEL and everything, all the hard work is gone. I don't see why I bother sometimes. I work SO hard to complete a blog post, and it never seems to live up to my expectations.

I was out walking yesterday (in the horrible Welsh weather) with my camera as usual and I thought of something. If you know me, you'll know I have a tonne of ideas but I can never put my ideas into practice. Like this blog, like both my YouTube channels. It gets me down so badly but the ONE idea I manage to keep up is my photography. I take my camera with me practically everywhere, my friends get annoyed because once I start snapping I get a bit snap happy and well, you guys get the idea.

Anyway, on the note of photography I was thinking of setting up a photography blog, I'm not a professional or anything, and my camera is a bridge camera, and I hate doing all the arty farty setting exposure, but some of the pictures I like and others I don't. So, along with starting a scrapbook (kinda like the photography girls in the film "I am Number 4") I want to start a photography blog. It seems thats the only thing I CAN do on a regular basis, I have over 3 thousand pictures from this year alone and we are only 7 months in!

So here is the blog: http://photoyear.webs.com/

I hope you guys will look around the site, enjoy the pictures and share it with your friends!

Mani Monday: Little Ladybugs

Hey lovelies!! So this is my second Mani Monday post and I have been looking around for a really

cute summer nail art tutorial. I stumbled across this super cute ladybug nail art:

Its a super fun and easy look that I will deffinatly be trying out once my nails grow back! Click here for the nail tutorial. Would you try this out?

 

Sunday: Choices

Hey Lovelies! It’s a Sunday post today, and there has been a lot of stress on me recently to decide what career I want to do and what choices I am going to make in life.

So as I have finished school there is a massive demand me for me to choose the college course and the career path. So I have always wanted to go into makeup and celebrity makeup. Not like special effects makeup, but like red carpet celebrity makeup or makeup on like a daytime TV show. Since starting my YouTube channel I have been really enjoying the creativity that comes with the tutorials but also the structure. It’s a very controlled creativity and it gives me so much inspiration, and I know that seems odd but I find having something to follow helps me give some ideas of what to do!

In college I can take up to four A level (British qualifications) classes. I have decided to take Film Studies, English Language, English Literature and Textiles. I really enjoy textiles and the creativity it provides, and also with textiles we have a fashion show at the end of the 2 years of all our work and I love the atmosphere at catwalks and I love being backstage at those events, plus I get to show off my makeup and fashion skills. J I took film studies because I like all the films and at the end of the first and second year we have to shoot a short film as our exam which I am looking forward to as the options are very non-specific and leave a lot to interpretation meaning I can be as creative as I want. English Language and Literature are to help me with my journalism and blogging, and also because I really enjoy that side of things, however I am still undecided about Literature, I may see if there is a beauty course I can enrol on that doesn’t mean I have to take only that (a lot of courses are like this unfortunately)

What do you guys plan on taking college? What career do you want to go into eventually? Hope you enjoyed my post, more posts coming your way, thank you, comment below and become a member!

Healthy Help: Snacking

Hey lovelies, so this is Saturdays post and I decided that I would a slightly more 'healthy lifestyle' kinda post as it is coming up to summer I know I, like so many other people are trying to get fitter for their vacations and I know that although exercise is a big part of getting fitter and a major part if you are trying to shed a few pounds. As I am only trying to get a more toned and sleeker body, I didn't to do a 'how to lose weight' post as I honestly have no idea! I have never needed to lose weight, if anything, I need to put it on, I am a feather!

So while exercise is a MASSIVE part of getting fit, so are your eating habits. And I'm not saying everyone has bad eating habits, although I know I do, I don't and won't deny that, what I'm trying to do is arm you guys with a better knowledge of what IS and ISN'T good to snack on. I have a tendency during the day, especially if I am home alone (which can be quite often as both my parents work full time), I will get to a point of boredom where I feel hungry. And at this point instead of finding myself something to do or getting out of the house, although this can be just as hard given the weather I am dealing with at the moment, I will make myself a cup of tea or coffee, grab five or six small cookies and watch some awful day time TV show. When I've finished the cookies, I make myself ANOTHER tea or coffee and a sandwich to watch another film or show. And this is really bad I know, and I'm filling myself up on empty calories and then not being hungry for a proper dinner.

However recently, because I am on a fitness regime I have been making a MAJOR effort to eat a little healthier. I've not cut out all of the sweets and chocolate that we all know and love but making an effort to eat a smaller quantity of them. Like instead of having 5 or 6 cookies, I limit myself to 2 and break them in half to make it seem like I'm eating more. It actually works! Another thing I do is not eating all my snacks at once, I try and eat them slowly through out the film or TV show I am watching. Once the show or film has finished instead of making a sandwich, I will make a tea or coffee and leave the kitchen. I won't root around the cupboards to see what mum bought last time she went grocery shopping, because that then tempts me to eat.

So Happy Snacking guys! I hope this helped in anyway it possibly could, and I hope you all get the beach bodies you are craving!

M.I.A!!

Hey lovelies, so I know I have been a bit M.I.A, but I've had a few family issues to deal with and my interent provider has been having technical issues but I promise that the blog's I missed will be here by the end of today!

TGIF: The weekend

Hey lovelies! So I know the week has been long but the weekend is here! My week has been so long and boring, I really am glad that Friday is here.

Now that I'm on summer vacation and all my friends are on holiday or have made other plans so it has been a major bore fest. Anyway, this weekend I decided I had to do something or I would go insaine from not going out. So I organised with my friends to go out for a meal to celebrate the end of exams and school. We're going to an all you can eat buffet with a live kitchen. It is a really nice place and I love the food served.

So thats it for today but tomorrows post isn't far away

Girl Talk: We Like The Same Guy

Hey lovelies! So have any of you been in the situation where you and your best friend like the same guy? I know I've been in that situation one to many times!

Liking the same guy your friend does is actually quite common. The likely hood of it is that you both have similar styles and taste in guys.

So if you do end up in that situation you really need to talk to your friend. Sit them down and explain that you don't want to compete, and your going to be the better person and move on because you would rather keep a long term friendship than a guy that might not even last a month!

Anyway, you just need to talk it out with your friend is all I'm saying. So guys I know todays isn't actually very helpful but I hope it helped a little bit!I love you guys and I will talk again tomorrow

Style Spotlight: Bella Thorne

Hey lovelies! So it is wednesday and that means a new post! There vis vav film I am dying to see and thats the film 'Brave'. Its a Disney Pixar film and the trailers look awsome. Anyway it was premire night last week and I'vev just recently stumbled across the pictres from the red carpet. I instantly fell in love with teen star Bella Thornes simple sophisticated dress:

 So this dress would be extremly boring on its own however paired with the wild shoes and simple classy accesories, it brings the outfit to new levels of wow-ness.

So thank you all for looking at my blog and would be really grateful if you commented and became a follower. Also if you like these kind of things you could subscribe to me on youtube :) love you all

Trend To Try: Coloured Trousers

Hey lovelies! So it's Tuesday and todays post is a 'trend to try' post. I thought this post would be fun to show you what trends I am loving right now and what trends I am most excited about trying!

Ok so I went shopping with my boyfriend on Saturday with the main goal of getting clothes that were trendy but out of my comfort zone. This comfort zone consists of black skinny jeans (or darkwash i summer) a vest top and a hoodie if I'm cold. So as you can see my style is very basic I've never found something I like very much. We'll everyone has been wearing coloured trousers so I decided to buy a few pairs of bright trousers. I didn't think it was a dramatic change to my wardrobe but it was a start. Anyway, we went into a shop called Internacionale and I instantly fell in love with these bright pink  shorts so naturally I had to get them. The sizes run a little big so as a size 8 I had to buy  a size 6.

I love the shorts and this picture really doesn't do them justice but they look so adorably cute on and I am really pleased I stepped out of my comfort zone and got them. Although the weather hasn't been to good I've worn them with my Gun's and Roses concert tee, knee high socks, my black welly boots and a leather jacket and sunnies which has given the outfit a very festival vibe which I adore!

Hope you enjoyed the post and I will be back tomorrow with another post. Oh and guys, if you ever get false nails...don't try writing blog posts. I am not used to nails. GAH!!! Love you guys :)

Mani Monday: Rubik's cube

Hey lovelies! So today I was browsing through a few of my favourite blogs and I discovered this:

I thought this was such a fun and quirky litttle picture and thought it would be brilliant for a Mani Monday. Its a fun summer look and incorporates the bright neon trend of the summer fashion without being 'in your face' which I like as not all of us are confident wearing bright clothes. But this little
pop of colour on your nails won't clash with any of the bright outfits so its perfect for summer :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the look of this, if you recreate this or have a manicure you would like me to feature in the next mani monday then send me a picture via twitter (kaiyeanemone) or my email (kaiyeanemone@hotmail.co.uk)

Soundtrack Sunday: Workout playlist

Hey lovelies! For my first Soundtrack Sunday, I decided, as I have just started a new workout routine, I would share the top 5 songs I play to keep me pumped on even the worst days:

1. Rack City - Tyga. A really upbeat song but I've learnt to have headphones in even in the house as my parents dislike the language. 

2. The Kill (Bury Me) - 30 Seconds to Mars. One of my all time favourite songs perfect for a rockin' workout.

3. Less Than Three - Eddplant. A really fast up tempo song and one of my favourite love songs.

4. In love with the 80's - Reliant K. A slightly odd song but its up tempo and it makes me laugh on a bad day.

5. Tonight Tonight - Hot Chelle Rae. A fun song that I adore working out to, it makes even the worst workout just a bit more bearable

Beauty Bit: Heat Protectant

Hey lovelies! I know it's Sunday but I was super busy on Saturday but here's the post.

I know that alot of the time when I'm in a rush to get ready I forget to use a heat protectant on my hair. This is really bad for my hair and I've noticed a massive difference since I started to use heat protectant. My hair is alot less damaged and alot sleeker and smoother. I've been making a massive effort to use it since I dyed my hair and need to do everything possible to restore it to its healthy state.

Recently I have discovered a brilliant combination of heat protectants that I find keeps my hair looking and feeling super healthy without looking greasy (and yes I have had experiance with that). The first protectant I use is the Tresemme heat defence spray which looks like this:

 I use this after I get out of the shower before I blowdry it. This helps to treat split ends and stops my hair being super frizzy. After I've dryed my hair and done my makeup I style my hair. For this I use the Got2Be Guardian Angel heat protectant spray and it comes in a bottle like this:

 Although I do blow dry my hair, more often than not I let it air dry which helps tame the frizz. After using many different heat protectants I think I have settled on my perefect combination for my hair which is a combination of frizzy and heat damaged. This combination may not work for everyone but I can't write for everyone, but I hope this helped some of you.

My promise

Hello again my fashionistas, I have made a promise to myself and to you (it is here in written form see!) that i will attempt to blog almost everyday, some days there may be a super long super fun blog but other days it may be a quick short blog.

 I have wanted to start blogging properly for ages and ages but I haven't had any time, but as I have recently finished school, I have a tonne more time on my hand so I can do plenty of blog posts. Many of the posts you see here may have slightly follow blog posts that Elle and Blair Fowler do over on their (amazing) blog and if you haven't seen it yet click here.

So everytime I go to type blog I have to backspace because I end up typing vlog as I have become so accustomed to calling it that. I feel a little silly typing to no one but I know that eventually if I post enough and advertise my blog on my youtube and twitter, people will eventually see it :)

Thank you for taking the time to read this and here is to many more blog posts xx

Game addiction

So I have been addicted to playing this game, I know its a game for a younger audience but I've found it really helpful when trying to style certain items (which can be brought 'in game') that I own.

Sorry it's been so long since my last blog post, I just haven't had anything to say :(

Hi, and yeah, welcome

Hi, and welcome to my blog. I am a new youtuber and on my channel I make beauty and style videos. I'm 16 and I live in Wales (which IS NOT in england). I wanted to set up a blog for somewhere to write my thoughts down and let my viewers and others who stumble across my stuff, what I'm up to but in words, any dates etc and yeah, this is getting kinda arkward.

Ok so I can sit infront of a camera and speak without a worry, with the knoweldge that people across the world could stumble across my videos, yet I can't type a few paragraphs to myslef and possibly my viewers.

Oh my goodness! I am so ill right now, I slept pretty much all day and its really late and i'm super awake. My christmas break isn't over till monday and I don't want to go back to school but I know I have to because I have GCSE exams (kinda the reason I don't want to go back).
