Worst Blogger of 2014

Hi everyone, so I just reached 250 followers on Bloglovin and I cannot thank you all enough. This is such a big milestone and I feel awful that I have been such a bad blogger this year. 

It has been a long time since I have written a post and it's down to a lack of motivation if I'm honest. I've not been in the mood to blog and felt like if I don't have anything interesting to say I just won't say anything at all. As a result I've gotten out of the swing of things and now have absolutely no routine or schedule for my blog whatsoever.

At the minute I'm not entirely sure where I want to go with my blog, whether I continue doing what I have been doing or narrow it down to just one topic like what I did when I started blogging.
All I know is I definitely want to carry on blogging as regularly as I can. 

I really am sorry to every one of you who has been reading my posts, commented, liked and/or followed me. It means so much to me and I really want to please you guys so you continue enjoying my blog as much as I enjoy writing.

Once again sorry for being such a rubbish blogger and thank you for helping me achieve a new goal!!

Lots of love x

Day to Night Make Up - Feat Naked 3 Palette

Here's my pretty make up look to get you from day to night this winter featuring the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette that my incredible brother bought me for christmas (I owe him big time for that).



Day Make Up:



Liz Earle Skin Repair moisturiser
MaxFactor Facefinity 3 In 1 foundation - Light Ivory
Collection 2000 concealer - 2 Light
Maybelline Super Stay 24H powder - Ivory
Maybelline Dream Sun bronzer - Blonde
L'oreal Super Liner eyebrow pencil - 03 Brunette
Rimmel Sofy Kohl eye liner - Jet Black (only for tight line)
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette 
- Dust to lids
- Buzz to crease
- Strange to brow bone and inner corner of eye
Maybelline the Falsies
Vaseline


In the early hours of the morning we do not want to spend hours on our make up but still want to look bright or presentable at least. This look leaves you looking awake (from the light and shimmery colours used on the eyes) and flawless (with the full coverage concealer) with ease.

Night Make Up:


Maybelline Dream Sun bronzer - Brunette
(to add emphasis to cheek bones)
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette
- Mooner between brow bone and crease to blend out
- Blackheart to outer corner of eye and under lower lash line
- Dust to inner part of lid for a touch up
Maybelline Master Duo eye liner (I forgot to do this)
Add emphasis with Maybelline the One by One mascara
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain - Crush Beguin
 *Of course touch up foundation, concealer if you need to


To glam up your day look so you're ready for a night out you want to add a bit of colour to your face. Do this by adding a pop of colour to your lips and some smokiness to your eyes to get that sexy look.

2014


HAPPY NEW YEAR - may this be your healthiest and happiest yet!!!!

I decided after Blogmas I would take a little break just until New Years and WOW what a New Years, anyone else still feeling a bit tired? No just me... ok.

I hope you all had a lovely night and have a good list of "New Years Resolutions", I know I have, that we all hope we'll keep this year.

This post is just a "to let you know what's happening". 
So I will be sticking to posting every other day - 


Monday - fitness
Wednesday - catch up
Friday - beauty/fashion
Sunday - food
(mostly healthy with the occasional treat)

I hope this is ok with you guys as I want to be posting as much as possible without going back into Blogmas mode.

My posts will go up early in the morning on post days so those of you who wake up early and like to read blogs, or workout, or cook can see my blog before work/school/the day/whatever it may be.

What they will be:

Fitness:
Each Monday I'll post different posts relating to fitness. This will include workouts, mini workouts, diets, DVD reviews and more.

Catch up:
So this will be my "Mid-Week Rambles" which consists of me talking about my life, other people's lives, the news and whatever else has occurred in that week. 
I'm not certain yet but I may also do reviews as well, first impressions, long term review etc. 

Beauty/fashion:
This will be about make up or fashion or anything beauty related. I'll do tutorials, likes/dislikes, look-books, reviews and more.

Food:
Every Sunday I will post a healthy recipe (most of the time) that will help you on your quest for healthy balanced lifestyle. As I am a fussy eater I will make sure they taste delicious (this will be judged by me and my family) and look appealing because we all know "you eat with your eyes".

So I hope you will enjoy reading my blog this year as well as having a lovely and prosperous 2014 and I will see you next Monday!

Blogmas Day 24 - Part Two


"The 2013 Tag"

For my final post this year I thought I would invent a tag (well at least I think I made it up) for you guys that will help you reflect upon this last year, sharing what you have accomplished 
and what you hope to achieve next year. 
So here it goes...


1. What was the best part of 2013?
The best part of 2013 was most definitely my conservation trip in Costa Rica. I had such a life changing experience, grew as a person and met some lovely people that I hope to keep in touch with in the future.

2. What was the worst part of 2013?
The worst part of 2013 was probably losing one of my closest friends (in a fight don't worry she did not pass). Unfortunately we went our separate ways after 13 years of friendship.

3. Is there anything you can take from this experience?
I've learnt to be less dependent on others and realise that moving on helps you rather than them.

4. Would you change any part of 2013?
Perhaps I would revise more for my GCSEs... However this did show me I have more to give and has made me want to strive and work harder for my A-levels.

5. Over the year what has been your best achievement?
My best achievement this year was probably getting back into 6th form, sounds stupid but I was really worried.

6. What has been your biggest achievement this year with regards to your blog?
There are a few things I have achieved with reference to my blog - having a focus
- receiving the Liebster award
- completing Blogmas

6. What have you learnt over the last year?
To not worry about others as much and take time for myself every so often.

7. What will be your "motto" for 2014 and why?
"Keep those who matter your priority"
This will be my motto as it can apply to people and inanimate things like work. It covers a broad spectrum which will help me focus on what's important.

8. What are your New Year Resolutions?
Stick to a routine - eating healthily, exercising, working and blogging.

9. What do you hope to achieve in 2014?
In 2014 I hope to achieve good AS-levels (4 Bs), pass my driving test (I turn 17 in March)and perhaps get a job, if I can handle it.

10. What would you like for your blog in 2014? 
I would like to reach 150 followers on Bloglovin and have a regular amount of viewers per day/post.
For me personally to take more pictures and learn more technical skills to improve my blog.

What now?
I will tag some blogs I want to take part.
If you want to take part and I haven't tagged you go right ahead.
After you've completed the tag comment below saying you have add a question of your own and pass the tag on to some other blogs.


This London Life
The Trendy Chick
Ruzin's Closet
Fashion On The Trend
Just Beauty Review
Celia Blogging
The Girl Who Wished The World
Christinanista


I hope you like this tag and I wish you all a merry christmas and a very safe and happy new year!!

Lots of love
Millie x
