New Years Goals :2015

Well Beautiful People... We have successfully ( almost ) made it through the crazy, insane year that was 2014. This year has been arguably one of the best years of my life. I can only hope that 2015 will be able to top it. I mean with movies like Pitch Perfect 2 coming out its promising to be a great one. I've always struggled with whether making New Years Resolutions was worth my time or not. But as I'm starting to realize, looking back at my old posts, I've changed a lot. My voice on this blog, this blogs purpose, the content, it really has progressed. So by writing this post, I can only hope that when I look back at it I will be able to say I successfully accomplished these things. It will be my accountability partner.

Lets Do This Thing!

1. Read My Bible: If you have read my 50 facts about me post you will know that I am a Christian. In my faith walk, I feel like this is my missing link. I just have never made a real effort to read it.

2. Express my Faith: Writing that last blurp (?) I have realized that I don't share much about my faith on this blog. I think I have just been afraid to ,because in this new world that we live in nobody wants to offend anybody or force anything on anyone. But I feel like, the relationship between reader and blogger, has the exact same qualities as a friendship, and I definitely voice my faith to my friends!

3. Be Vocal about my Anxiety: This is a topic that I never really touch on. For one it's very hard to talk about. After reading Lauren Conrad's book I realize that Beauty encompasses your entire body inside and out. With this platform it's easy to reach out to people, and that is what I want to do. ( If you want a post on Anxiety you know what to do).

4. Really Strive to Make this Blog The Best it Can Be: This summer, I feel like I really found my voice and made really good content. I definitely have been slacking and I sincerely apologize. I want to do better, I really do. I recently received the 2014  Teen Vogue Handbook this Christmas and it really made me start to wonder if I could actually pursue this as a career.

Pause: LISTENING TO BLANK SPACE RIGHT NOW!!! LOVE THIS SONG OH MY GUMDROPS

If you want a book review on that book I would love to do that! It was really inspirational and chalked full of amazing information.

5. Keep Working on my YouTube Channel: In this new technological age all types of social media are really exploding. I love that each one hosts a different voice. I can express myself in totally different ways and I think that's amazing.

6. Really educate myself on my heath: Like I mentioned before I really enjoyed "Beauty" by Lauren Conrad and I have kind of been inspired to figure out what will make my body feel truly good. I did gymnastics for about 11 years and it really took a toll on my body + I dance a lot now so that doesn't make it feel any better. I eat like a pig and I have really don't care if I eat 15 cookies in one sitting. What can I say I am a sucker for chocolate chip cookies ( just look at my twitter bio @fabulouslyme21) And I know everyone makes this promise but I want to see if I can actually do it (this time)!

7.  Let It Go!  This year I just want to live. I want to live and love and not be afraid to fall flat on my face. I want to dive in head first and try things that scare me. ( OH GOSH WHAT DID I JUST GET MYSELF INTO )

8,  Work on my Smile: I love beauty and fashion ( if you didn't know that already) but I have noticed I'm not really all that into caring for my teeth. A good smile is something I look for in a potential partner so why wouldn't I want to have one too.

9.  Work on My Music: Another topic I never really address on this blog. I am a musician! I play the guitar and the piano. I also sing. I love to write but haven't done much lately and this year I really want to get back to that.

10. I want to say that at the end of the year that I am genuinely happy: This year my life will 99.9 % be changing drastically. While I am scared and sad, I am excited to embark on a new journey and see what wonderful opportunities unfold!

 Ending on that (mysterious) note, I want to tell all of you I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH! What an amazing year! Together we can strive to make this one " FABULOUS" year ;)

Lauren Conrad Beauty: Book Review

I hope you all had an amazing holiday season filled with happiness, great smells, and hopefully no family drama ( as unbelievable as that seems to be). My Christmas was amazing and I was so fortunate to be surrounded by family members that I haven't seen in a long time.

 On Christmas morning bright and early, all of us kids got around the tree and tore open the presents we had waited all year to receive. One of the gifts I received was Lauren Conrad's book entitled "Beauty". I hadn't asked for this gift so I was very surprised when I received it. This book was written in 2012 by Mrs. Lauren Conrad herself. This TV personality, fashion designer, and now author,dishes on all the Beauty secrets she has learned over the years from being on set. From skin care to party looks, she's included it all. She also strives to bring forth a powerful message on inner beauty and intentionally leaves in all the embarrassing beauty blunders she has made in her beauty journey. Her quirky personalty flows through the entire book. I flew through the book in a day! I couldn't put it down. I love her writing style and the tips in this book were extremely helpful! I'm positive that I will be referencing this book almost every day. 

Here are some photos from the book:

Naked 2 Basics First Impression

Hey Guys!

So if you didn't know today is my birthday! I am fifteen years old and today I received my first Urban Decay product from my momma. ( THANK YOU MOM!) So of course I had to blog about it!

There are 6 colors in this pallet. They are all cool toned and matte shades. All the colors in this pallet are very pigmented and just stunning. The first two colors are very similar to my skin tone so they will be great for highlighting, The basis for the pallet is that all these tones can be used  as base shadows for any look or you can use them together. I imagine I will be using this quite a lot. It seems great for traveling and I'm very excited to get to work!

Formal Events 101

Take your seats because class is in session! My church's youth group is dressing up in all formal attire, going to golden corral (ironically) and then having like a red carpet event back at the church. So today I'm going to give to you my Ultimate Guide for Having the Best Formal Event Ever ( title in progress.

First off lets start with the makeup! Doing my makeup for formal events is always fun because you can go really fancy with contouring and eyeliner ( which I don't do on an everyday basis). For events like this I really like to focus on my eyeballs!I really feel they are one of my best features so I always make sure to play them up! Oh wait why would I tell you when I can just show you!

Click Here To Watch!

For My Hair:

I really like using a wand to curl my hair for events. This gives my hair a lot of volume and is super easy to use. It comes with a protective glove which I probably should use but...

THE DRESS:

1.Pick a dress that really compliments your figure without being all about skin ( unless your into that sort of thing). I really like to pick dresses that bring out my inner sparkle! 

2. Really think about what the location and event calls for. If your going out to eat before white may not be the best option. If you are going to wear white maybe bring a super large jacket so you wont harm your beautiful dress.

3. Being the fabulous person you are, you are most likely going to be invited to many events in your time. I am all for splurging for things like prom and your wedding day, but you can be bold on a slightly smaller price tag. I find apps like amazon and Zulily have amazing deals all the time on dresses and other items. 

The Clutch:

 

A small purse or clutch on hand is ESSENTIAL! This is going to be your ultimate lifesaver!

During the big night of dancing and eating ( and eating and eating and eating) your going to be in need of some touch ups. Some things you should always bring:

1. Oil blotting sheets:

          Make sure to do this before powdering because powder on top of oil can look cakey and well...

OH MY GOODNESS DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE LATE NIGHT SHOWINGS OF ALL THE OLD DISNEY SHOWS!!!!!

2. Pressed Powder: I like my orange pressed powder from Physicians formula.

3. Lipstick

4. Your cellphone: in case of emergency ( or awkward situations.)

5. Feminine Hygiene Products: enough said...

Rules of Events:

1. Have the best time of your life

2. Make Some Memories

3. HAVE FUN!

Blogiversary

Hey Guys!

So today is a very special day in the history of this blog!!! Today is the one year anniversary of my blog! I can't tell you how much it means to me that you , yeah you, read this blog. And whether you've been with me through the beginning or you've just started reading I'm so happy that you have embarked on this amazing journey with me. When I started this blog I had recently gotten really into YouTube and at the time I was too young to start a channel. I really loved reading fashion websites like teen vogue and Seventeen and I thought it would be really cool to start my own blog. In sixth and seventh grade I honestly really felt like the ugly duckling. My friends were always popular and beautiful and in my eyes I never measured up. I had braces, crazy short hair, I had to have my eyebrows waxed frequently or I would get a Unibrow ,bad highlights, no boobs, I was nothing. I really just felt like I never really fit in. To top it off I was a competitive gymnast and I was at the gym for 16 hours every week. Because I worked out so frequently I had large muscles and a six pack. Most people want muscles right? Well at the time wear everyone is become a young lady, I honestly felt like a man girl. The summer before eighth grade I quit the sport that controlled my life. for a lot of reason( but that's another story). I was constantly struggling to figure out what I was now that I wasn't the "gymnast girl". That's when I really got into YouTube. It really help me get back in touch with the fashionable side of me that had been lost for long. That school year ,I got there the first day a changed girl. I was more confident, I felt beautiful, I could take on the world! People definitely noticed the change. The December I started my blog it was a snow day. My friend Flo and I decided to grab a couple outfits together and do a photo shoot outside.Click here to check out my first blog post ever! I needed to share it with someone! That's when I started my blog. Then I forgot about it for a while...

The May of 2014 I was talking to this guy ( who I honestly kind of liked ) and we were talking about we wanted to do when we grew up. He said " I could just see you as one of those people that tell everyone one what they should be wearing and what the new trends are". I was like oh my goodness! That's when I really got into blogging. I'm not saying you should ever do something just to get a guy , but hey he was pretty good looking! Besides the reason as to why I started again isn't important. That summer I blogged almost everyday! When I got to a 100 page views I was over the moon! I couldn't people my blog was visited 100 times! Now with 3688 page views (as I am writing this) 5 registers followers, a YouTube Channel with 17 subscribers, and a much more positive outlook on life I am finally taking a step in the right direction.

I'm looking forward to continuing my blog and growing my reader base. I want to improve this blog so it can be the best that it can be ,but the thing is I am very sad. I am constantly reaching out to my readers asking them to comment for ideas, to answer questions, to ask questions, the only post that got a few comments was on my body image post. Today I wanted to do a Q and A as a little gift to you all, but I didn't receive any questions...

If you ever feel like commenting I want to encourage you! I want to talk with you and be there for you and be your friend. I have posted a poll on the main page of my blog and you should vote! Okay all you beautiful people I love you, I wouldn't be where I am today without you, and I thank you from the bottoms of my heart ❤️ Stay Fabulous ❤️
