Makeup Entry!

Ok with loads going on this week I haven't had a massive amount of time to do posts or video's on youtube. However, I have just uploaded a video entry for chelsiepoo07's contest which was to create a makeup video look based on the theme of "beaches". I used my inspiration from "gubby" the fish type. It's so pretty, I only had blue eyeshadow and some glitter/sequins so I had to make the most of it. I wish I had taken my white with me but hey it was fun doing it. I look a bit hookerish with so much makeup, my face definately struggles to show effects. I've also NEVER used eyelashes before so it was really hard trying to apply them!! Managed it though haha.

I have lots of idea's for video's, contests etc. My main idea was to promote as many businesses as I could around my area and online. I love trying new products and generally just helping out people to know which shops I think would be great to purchase from and why. I will be purchasing all the items myself, I am not sponsored or anything by any of the businesses so it's all about being a real customer. If I was to ever be sent anything for free to test I would review them honestly still and state how I got them and where to go to get more.

I have my final councelling session tomorrow so I'm mega excited but real nervous at the same time. I'm struggling to imagine me doing lots of hours at work and coping with it. I'm trying though, small steps and all that. *fingers crossed* I'll be walking on my own soon! Yay!

Anyways, before I rammble on to myself, just going to say check out my video on youtube channel "Sejbomb". Thanks guys ;) Later xx

Sweet City Competition

Hey everybody!!
So I've finished my video and just doing some final touches as a few things went wrong, but it should be up Thurs 15th July (technically tomorrow).
It's a competition to win £20 worth of Sweet City goodies. Sweet City is an amazzzingg store I go to in Bournemouth, it's full of so many varities of candy...they even sell DUN DUN DUN Lucky Charms!! I've already purchased 2 boxes and plan to keep buying some every month to treat myself if I have the dosh.

Ok, so I'm not rich, I don't work for anyone but Claire's Accessories and I have extreme anxiety/self esteem issues...so forgive me if my video's seem a little um, distant. It will take me some getting used to. Let me explain the reasons why I'm doing these competitions/etc.

1. I'd like to give other people the chance to sample products and possibly purchase some from the shop in the future or pass on by word of mouth how awesome the companies are.

2. I'd like to give local shops, businesses online and small companies who don't get enough advertising possibly due to location, costs or don't know how to so that they stay afloat in tough times like our recession.

3. I also love sampling products, coming up with new ideas, generally being a customer that can help a company gives me great pleasure and I'm sure it gives other people happiness too. I sure know when I go into a shop and I like what I see, the staff are friendly and helpful and I think the products rock I'm more likely to go back. I also love bargain hunting because not all of us are loaded!!

I know this is alot of reasons but all true, I have a natural creative streak within me, for a while I've searched far and wide for what my "niche" is, what my "purpose" is I suppose, I've wanted to have my own business for a while, but my brain and other reasons make me fail. Which bites, but I accept it and am going through therapy to help me. Don't worry I'm not a mental patient wrapped in white belts, I just struggle with a few things mentally, emotionally and physically, but I'm working on it.

Just think how one person showing a small video clip on other peoples products, idea's on how to buy bargains, where to go for good customer service, we'd save ALOT of our own time getting fustrated and actually being more happy.

IF ANYONE wants any help advertising from my video's on youtube, I will be more than welcome to, if you'd like me sample products for reviews, I'm always free to do so no matter what it is. I really do enjoy doing this, I'm sad enough just to smile at getting an email from strangers with idea's or tips for me too!!

Please keep watching my video's and blogs as they will be regularly updated with allsorts of things!

Take care everyone and remember, it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown!! ( that means less wrinkles in the long run) lol.

Ciao.

Tick Tock Tick Tock.

Ok, so my brain cogs are in full motion. I have a notepad full of idea's for hauls, reviews, competitions, giveaways,generalised topics, show and tells, the whole lot. It's gonna take me some time as I'm also in the process of organising my life and decorating rooms in the house.

It's great to finally have some followers,new friends and subscribers. I also bought a new webcam today so *fingers crossed* I'll be adding lots of new video's before you know it!

I've also put out a status on Facebook for anyone who liked playing around making gifs, those clips that start video's off that have music attached (no idea what to call them) so hopefully someone can give me a hand. My fiancee's brothers also offered to teach me some editing skills on mac because I would murder the maker of "Windows movie maker" if I could. Sooo not that simple for me.

I unfortunately left my lush products around my parents so could be a while before I get to do a real review on them, luckily she doesn't have a bath there so she can't steal them!! I will also try to take some decent pics of the products so I don't have to steal other peoples or hunt through google.

If you guys have any tips, companies you'd like me to do reviews on, products you want me to try I would be happy to do so. I will purchase up to £10 from a company's website to test products when I have a debit card to do so (which should be soon). So message if you would like me to try yours. Thanks everyone, stay tuned and watch this space :)

And so the beginning is created.

Ok, so I guess this is where everything starts. I've been watching youtube tutorials on everything from hair to makeup to how to bake a cake. I've always wanted to do tutorials of my own because I feel there's alot of girls like me who people can't relate to, I've also found an increasing number of american posters which makes it difficult for us to follow because they have completely different advantages and disadvantages due to where they are located. I thought being in the UK might be able to help a few viewers who may feel a bit left out!

I'll be honest, my nervousness is not from lack of contact with the outside world or because I'm shy, I can be quiet sometimes but very rarely. I'm a blabbermouth. I work in Claire's Accessories which I've stated on my profile so I'm used to talking to customers, selling products and giving advice even in ear piercing and makeup. The thing I'm scared of is actually one, my smile, I have a MASSIVE phobia of the dentist and therefore I have struggled to stay smiling because my teeth are seevvvverreeelly over crowded. It bothers me alot because I'd love to smile in my future wedding pics or when I'm genuinely happy but I usually hide it under a closed mouth smile which is less exciting to see! So I excuse the fact I may look grumpy. Secondly is because I struggle with getting the right words across. I have whats called "fibro-fog" and it's from a condition called "fibromyalgia" (google if unsure) and it fustrates me on regular occasions when I have a brain thats super fast but a signal thats super slow to my mouth. However, I'm still excited to help others ;) So please follow me on my road to crazy. Thanks guys, I'll keep posting as often as I can. The next post will be pictures from my video clip which I plan to do later on "Lush products".
