England!!!

So I went to Lowestoft, England for a few days...

A lot of people haven't heard of Lowestoft but I can't figure out why! Other than the fact that its a small town it is absolutly beautiful!!
I have been quite a few times before but this is my first time since I was 9!

I did A LOT of shopping!!


There were a lot of places with MARINA as part of the name!!!

I had a lot of fun! I missed you all! Stay tuned for an England Haul Video!!!

Tea!!

The Benifits of Tea!!!
I have recently taken up the habit of drinking tea once or twice a day (my grandparents 7-9 times!) and I did a little research on it... It's amazing stuff!


  • Green tea, rich in antioxidant treasures that protect against heart disease and cancer, now shows promise as an allergy fighter.
  • Green tea may be useful against a wide range of sneeze-starting allergens, including pollen, pet dander, and dust.
  • Compared with nonhabitual tea drinkers, tea regulars had higher bone mineral densities, even after exercise and calcium-which strengthen bones-were taken into account.
  • "Tea is one of the single best cancer fighters you can put in your body"
  • Tea can lower 'bad' cholesterol levels.
  • Drinking black tea may lower the risk of heart disease because it prevents blood from clumping and forming clots.
  • Trying to lose weight? Reach for a cup of green tea instead of a diet beverage. Compared to the placebo and caffeine, green tea extract consumption produced a significant 4% increase in 24-hour energy expenditure. If you consume 2,000 calories per day and don't gain or lose weight (you're in energy balance), an increase of 4% would translate roughly into an 80-calorie daily difference. Over a year, this could result in 89 pounds of weight loss.

My New Obsession

In my  Room Tour Video you probably heard me say how I am loving Pretty Little Liars, well I am obsessed. Currently I am reading the books and watching the series on TV...

I think its interesting... and I'm not realy into the Gossip Girl stuff either, it was just a fluke! I happed across it one day and I sort of fell in love!

My favorite character is Aria Montgomery:

I lover how her character is so complex!
I want you to tell me who your favorite character (here or on YouTube). Your choice doesn't have to be from Pretty Little Liars, it can be from anything like Harry Potter or Glimour Girls or Free Willy...
If I get enough character options I will create a poll with the most popular here and you can all vote on your favorite one... then I'll do a makeup tutorial based on that character (it can be guy or girl!!)

Today  I will be filming a look based on Aria Montgomery but that doesn't mean you can't mention her fo her!!

YouTube Lied to Me!!

So, in the third video I uploaded today not only do I explain why I have been so MIA but also because YouTube LIED to me!
I was recently sent an e-mail (via YouTube) that I had become a PARTNER! I was so excited I went right ahead and filmed a video.... But now it has been 3 weeks! And I have had no word from YouTube about my partnership. I have conacted YouTube and tried to get them to do something but so far nothing has happened.
Help! If you could spread the word or even complain for me it might help.


THANK YOU!!
