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!!

Dear John!

The other night I watched Dear John. I have to say it was one of the most satisfying movies I have seen in a long time! I cried, I laughed and watched it with deep intensity.
Now, I'm not one for mushy love stories but this I liked!
The ending was a bit quick but what can you do!
I give it a 4/5

Peter Rabbit Visited my Garden!

Haha the other day I was looking out the window and saw this tiny little rabbit rinning around my front garden.

I tried to upload a picture but I think my camera is too fancy for blogspot to handle....

A makeup artist (MUA) is an artist whose medium is the human body, applying makeup and prosthetics for theatrical, television, film, fashion, magazines and other similar productions including all aspects of the modeling industry.

As you can see I freelance with friends and clients! if you have a talent in makeup let people know! It is a very rewarding job!

MTV Picks up "Teen Wolf," Emma Watson and Logan Lerman to be "Wallflowers"

SO you all know how I am in love with Logan Lerman and how Emma Watson is like my inspiration for EVERYTHING well take look an article I found on the both of them:

"Harry Potter‘s Emma Watson and Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ Logan Lerman are in negotiations to star in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which is based on a book that “has been on the American Library Assn.’s list of the 10 most frequently challenged for reasons including the treatment of drugs, sex, and suicide.” Sniff. They grow up so fast."
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/05/20/mtv-teen-wolf-emma-watson-logan-lerman-wallflower/

"The upcoming adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower is set to be a low-budget indie production, but writer/director/author of the novel Stephen Chbosky may look to grander blockbuster fantasy fare for his leads with the likes of Logan Lerman and Emma Watson in contention. Since Sony is not yet willing to make him the new Spider-Man, Variety reports that Lerman may follow up Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief with this coming-of-age drama. Likewise, if Watson signs on, Wallflower would represent her first feature film role outside of the Harry Potter franchise.
Published by MTV (wait, what?) in 1999, The Perks of Being a Wallflower tells the story of a teen who assumes the alias “Charlie”, and describes the various events of his high school life in letters to an anonymous person."


So I am super excited :)
