Let's Have a Chat!

Hello, hello, hello! How have we've been?! I am so so sorry for abandoning this blog and believe me, it's the normal excuse of school and work....mmmhmm.

Anyway, I wanted to have a little catch up with you all! I am so grateful that this blog has become something that I love and enjoy so much and I would of never thought in a million years that I would do something like this and now here we are nearly at 100 followers! Guys! Damn. I adore every single one of you that reads this silly beauty blog of mine and I thank you. The many times I have said thank you to you all is a lot but I mean it when I say thank you for helping me, us and this little life of a blog.

So, my general updates are pretty basic. In the month of May, I will be excited and nervous and busy! First of all, it's my birthday month! YAY FINALLY WILL BE 17 AND DRIVING! Man, I am excited! Aaah! And of course, there will be a little blog post on what I get as I know you all secretly like them. I know. Then, the horrible part...exams. In May, I will not be posting a lot because of revision and exams and madness! This is the same with the beginning of June. I will be busy and exhausted and may not have time for blogging. But it doesn't mean that I won't. I will try and post a few times but unfortunately, I can not promise... BUT let's look at the bright side of life, after my exams I will be back in full swing of blogging! Yes!

Another thing, I am thinking of posting more lifestyle things like if I went somewhere nice for the day or something on the lines of that. What do you think? I would love to know!

So. That's pretty much it! Just wanted to tell you all what is going to happen so you don't all get confused and worried for absence! Hahaha. I'm like my mother, I swear! I will see you all soon!

Toodles!

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Girly Night In vs Girly Night Out.

Hi Everyone!

How is everyone's Wednesday been so far? Haha. Unfortunately, I am currently not feeling too great but I still have the strength and effort to do a blog post! Especially as it's Girly Talk Wednesdays! Woop woop!

So, the topic this week is Girly Night Out vs Girly Night in, us girls all like both of these kinds of nights. With or without friends. Either way, it's fun!

To start us off then, a girly night out - A girly night out normally contains going out with your girlfriends and hitting the clubs or just going a restaurant, both ways, you want to nice and glamorous. You may buy a nice knee height dress with a pair of heels that make you taller than you should be. Then, with your hair, you could go many ways with it. Such as, curling or straightening it - us girls normally go for something that is the opposite of what we normally do with our hair, sometimes with even experiment with our hair and see how it turns out. After deciding on what to do with our hair, you tend to put a lot, and i mean A LOT, of hairspray on! So, this can keep our hair looking the same as we did when we left for the night out. Lastly, makeup! With makeup, we do like to go big. We mostly focus on the eyes. So, we tend put on smoky dark colours - these could be colours such as navy blue, dark blue, black - but sometimes when we are going to the clubs, we tend to put light and vulnerable colours on such as baby blue or pink. Going back to the smoky eye look - we top it off with thick mascara or as most girls like to do, false eyelashes - this actually makes the eyes look fully and thicker. We can actually sometimes add some eyeliner too, thick or thin, both ways it works. We normally then go for a natural kind of foundation cover, as I've said before, we focus more on the eyes. Finally, we add lipstick. I personally recommend putting lip balm on first before putting on the lipstick as it keeps your lips moist throughout the night. With the lipstick colour, we put on a darker colour like dark red - so, it matches the smoky eye look. But if you are going for the lighter look, we would put on a light pink or a hot pink on.

Next, we have the girly night in - this can be with or without friends. Both ways, it's enjoyable! Out of the two - this is my favorite! I love my little nights in where I can just relax and be myself and not worry about looking my best. So, my girly nights in are normally consisted of junk food and my favorites movies! I throw my comfortable clothes on so if I do end up falling asleep I won't be in jeans or anything that I don't want to get crinkled. Then while watching the movies, I would browse through twitter and Facebook and check on my blog. With friends, you can do the exact same! You and your girlfriends can gossip, catch up and have a great laugh! With makeup - honey, ain't nobody got time for that! - DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOOKING GOOD WHEN YOU ARE CHILLING! That is a motto I live by!

I hope you liked this little post today! And tell me, what are you most likely to do? Go out or stay in? Tell me in the comments or tweet me at @theycallmeezza. Also, hopefully you'll be able to relate to what I've just written.

Little announcement - unfortunately, this will be the last of #GirlyTalkWednesdays, but only for a while. I just want to do some normal posts and tick off some of the things that I want to write on this blog. I hope you don't mind! Hahaha.

Anyway, until Friday. I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Insecurity

Hello Everyone!

Here we are, once again, with the wonderful segment of #GirlyTalkWednesdays! Wayhey!

So, this week, we are getting a little more serious and deeper with our inner selves. Today, I am talking about insecurity. Every girl has there own little insecurities, some may show them and some may not but we all have them.

There's something in life that makes us have these little moments of insecurity, this could be after seeing something in the media - like magazines or social websites, that make us look at ourselves and want to be the glamorous person that we've just seen. It's hard. I know. I have those days where I see someone or look at some girl that has the perfect slim stomach with perfect thin thighs and I think that I wish I was them or I looked like that. But we need to think that we are special in our way. We were made not to look identical to each other (unless your a twin) and to have our own little marks and sparks that make us who we are.

One of the hardest things, that I think, are getting over the insecurity and thinking more positive about who we are. I mean, we can change what we look like physically by just being healthy with our lifestyle and thinking more about the consequences if we don't exactly follow that healthy life.

We need to stop comparing ourselves to these women with 'perfect' bodies and personalities and start to think how unique we are and how amazing our life is and can be if we just stayed happy and relaxed and stop worrying about what other people think. This is also one of the main reasons why girls AND boys get insecure because we always think that we getting judge by others just by the way we dress, look and act. Express yourself. I literally don't care about what anyone thinks of me as I like to do my own thing and let my weirdness run free because that's who I am and unfortunately I don't want to change that and to be honest, I probably won't ever change that. I'm happy. Are you? That's a question I want you to ask yourself. Are you happy? Happy with life? Happy with what your doing? And mostly, are you happy being you? Please go ahead and tell me YOUR answers to these questions because I would love to know. Also, another quick question, how do you express yourself? Is it in front of people or alone in your bedroom? Believe me, there is no law against you of being yourself out in public. Go crazy. I dare you!

I hope this post has made you think about you and the little insecurities in your life. Are they worth it?

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG!

Happy Monday Everyone!

So, today I got tagged in the Procrastinating Beauty Blogger tag by the wonderful Oodles of Rae, thank you very much and I will link her blog at the end! 

On to the rules:

1. You must copy and paste these 'rules' onto your post when you write it, it doesn't take long!.

2. You must state that this tag was created by 'The Beau Bow' and link www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com

3. You must thank the person who tagged you at the start of your post (link their blog as well) -follow them if you're feeling nice!, and then at the end of your post state who you tag, and then comment on their blog on their latest post to let them know you tagged them, and link your post so they can see what to do.

4. Title this post 'The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG' so everyone knows what it is about.

5. Have fun! :)

Questions: 

1. Name a beauty regimen that you rarely do? 

I had to think about this one as I always do what is recommended to me. But I think the thing I rarely do is that I don't moisture my face in the morning as I'm sometimes in a rush, this is normally in the weekdays but on the weekends, I would always do it.

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something that you do regularly?  

I wash my makeup brushes every weekend because I hate knowing that I have grease or used makeup within them. It's always been a think that I don't like. So, yeah, every weekend.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

I am absolutely terrible with chipped nail polish! As soon as it starts chipping, I start to pick the nail vanish off of my nails and I know that is the worst thing to do! Especially for my nails as they can strain if I do that.

4. How long will you put off buying/replacing beauty or nail product even if you need it?

Erm..to be honest, I don't really worry about replacing products if I'm not in need of it and if it isn't something that I always use. But, if I was in need of the product, so this would normally be foundation or mascara, I would have to buy it that upcoming weekend as I can't really live without those main makeup products!

5. What is you worst beauty habit?

To be honest with you all, I don't really have a beauty habit. As soon as I put on my makeup in the morning, I won't tend to touch my face for the rest of that day until I have to wash it off  in the evening as I don't want to mess it up. 

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time:

I always, ALWAYS, put off doing cleaning my bedroom and I do sometimes put off doing my coursework which I should not do at all! 

7. When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not? 

I never ever leave getting ready to the last minute! EVER! I like to be organised and feel ready for the day, so I would literally get ready an hour or so before going out. 

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

I had to laugh at myself when I read this question. I am horrible at saving money! As soon as I get money, I have the need to go and spend it! But, I am trying to learn how to save at the moment, so maybe I will start getting better and start to commit!

9. How organised is your makeup and nail polish collection?

At the current time, nothing is organised and it's kind of killing me! Haha. Normally, I have all my nail polishes organised in colour and I put them into a box so they don't unorganised themselves when I'm moving things around. My makeup brushes are put in used coffee mugs (doing a DIY post about it later this week) and I have separated them into big brushes and small brushes. Then I normally just keep my makeup in my makeup bag because I take it with me when I go out and sometimes when I go to school.

10. What is the longest amount of time you have gone without writing a blog post?

Well, I've only just started blogging, so I haven't gone without writing a post yet.

I hope you enjoyed this tag!

A Little Thank You.

Hi Everyone,

How has everyone's week been? Good? Grand! Haha. So, today I just want to say a little thank you to everyone that has been supporting me and making me feel welcome into the beauty/blogging community. I would never think that I would have nearly 20 followers and I've only just started! I know it doesn't sound a lot but it is to me. I guess, in life I have never really felt like I belong into a group or into a community like this. But now I do and I am so thankful of it! I've talked to so many great bloggers along the way too and they've been very helpful and supportive!

So. Once again, thank you. Thank you for reading. Thank you for taking notice of this little blog of mine. This is just the beginning of a beautiful journey of the blog life and I hope you will come along with me!

That's it for this week, until next time. You're beautiful and thanks for reading.

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Periods!

Hi Everyone,

How has your day been today? Do tell! Anyway! I should say, welcome! To the first post of the series Girly Talk Wednesdays, this is when I will be talking about...how would you say it....girl stuff? So, I will be either directly to the female reader or I will be telling the male reader of what to expect when girls go through these stages of life. Oh yep, hold on to your hats for a bumpy ride! haha.

Today's topic is quite an easy topic but it's also a way of understanding the whole 'time of the month' thing. So, to start it off I'm just going to say that every single woman on Earth HATES that time of the month! Believe me, it's the most stressful time for all girls as we have different emotions that hit us at any time of the day and this happens for a whole week! Then, the cramps happen. Not every girl may have a cramp every month but when they do, it hurts like hell! So men, I advise you to stock up on ice cream, chocolate, blankets and soppy films when you know your female other is on her time of the month, cause they're gonna need it!

Then comes the headaches! Oh yes! Headaches. Oh, how I hate them so so much. Headaches are literally always around the corner during that week. So, I always take paracetamol with me so whenever I do get a headache I just 2 of those and I'm normally okay after that. Then I may take another 2 after 4 hours as it is advised too.

For us girls, we need to take that week nice and easy and not stress ourselves out more than we already are. I always give myself a little pamper evening so I can relax and just chill out. In my pamper evening I always include a face mask, a unhealthy snack - even if you are trying to stay healthy and clean of junk food, you can not say no when your on your monthlys. I also include a light hearted film or a Disney film, which I always end up watching. This does the trick for me as then I don't feel washed out or moody for the rest of that evening.

As us ladies do like our clean skin and pimple free skin, we always tend to go mental on facial products as we try so hard to get rid of these dirty vermins off our faces. So, I recommend, as I've said before, a face mask, this unleashes your pores and takes out the oiliness in your skin. I also steam! This is such a good trick and it's also a classic one as it does the exact same as a face mask would do but it's completely free! All you need is a bowl of boiling hot water and a towel which you put over your head when you are leaning over the bowl so you don't let any steam escape. I normally put a few drops of tea tree oil in it as well so it will cleanse and make the face feel more moist. Afterwards, I would massage the steam that is on my face then pat dry with a towel.

Hopefully, this has been a little bit helpful towards you lady readers and also given the male readers a heads up! Before I do go, I have to say I applaud every single woman for getting over this horrible time of the month!

Anyway, time to go! You're beautiful and thanks for reading! BYE.
