December 1st is here and we have one more month left of the year.
Last year I took part in vlogmas where I (tried) to upload to my youtube channel everyday from the 1st to 24th of December. I did ok but I didn’t make it all the way.
This year Im more determined to bring you a daily vlog or upload. [Read more…]
I posted this TAGtastic Thursday video last week but I figured why not make a blog post with the questions so YOU can all jump on board.
I want to start to highlighting some of my viewers in my thursday videos either once a week or once a month. I have had a few viewers share their recreations of some of my videos and would love to share.
So If you ever do one of my videos TAG me using #SimplySarah Instagram: @SimplySarahxoxo Twitter: @SimplySarah101 Facebook.com/SimplySarah101
Now to the questions:
1. What year were you born?
2. Do you have any pictures of when you were younger?
3. What TV shows did you grow up watching?
4. What did you want to be when you grew up and do you still want to be that?
5. What were your favourite toys to play with?
6. What was the most embarrassing thing you remember doing?
7. What was something weird you used to do as a kid?
Here are my answers full with purple tinsel wigs and embarrassing moments
Summer! I love summer. The heat, the sun, the colours…I love it all.
Sitting in the park behind our apartment one day I was thinking of what videos I should do over the summer. All I could think of was the usual makeup looks or DIY projects but I wanted to put together a cohesive collection so to speak. As I’m eating my freshly cut homemade fruit salad it dawned on me…Fruit Salad!! AH!
My summer series will be inspired by fruit salad! At this point thoughts and ideas came rushing to me. I decided to narrow it down to my favorite fruits. (just) Peachy, Strawberry (fields), Grape (gorgeous), and to throw a spin-Pink Lemonade.
Ive already filmed and uploaded my Just Peachy portion of my fruit salad summer series. It was fun coming up with different looks and tutorials inspired by peaches.
My first video was DIY Kool-Aid lip gloss. I had seen this on pinterest a number of times and thought the idea was so cool. unfortunately I could not find peach kool-aid brand so I used the generic walmart brand. I found it worked very well 🙂
Check out the video to see for yourself…
The next video was my makeup tutorial. I pulled out my BH Cosmetics palette and went to town swatching and choosing. I really love this palette and I find I can always rely on it for any colour I could possibly want.Click here to read more about it:120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 2nd Edition
As for the Peachy make up look check out the video. I used peach, brown and yellow to bring the look together and emulate all the colours on a perfectly ripe peach
With this series I decided to challenge myself with easy nail art. I’m not the best with nails but really wanted to test out some ideas I had floating in my brain. With this nail tutorial I tried a duo colour ombre technique with orange and yellow. I then used a sharpie, again I’m a lazy newbie, to try and emulate the shape that a peach gets. I found it was a stretch, what do you think?
So I have left only enough vidspace for 3 videos per fruit so the nail + OOTD was my last Just Peachy! inspired.
I am in the process of working on my Strawberry fields and Grape Gorgeous videos now. I’ll keep you posted on all of that fun once I get it all uploaded.
What are your favorite summer fruits?
So there is a tag that has been going around and I find it hilarious. If your not familiar with ‘TAG’ videos they are basically a video in which you ‘tag’ other youtubers to do the same video. There are so many out there and they are fun to do and to watch. This one is the beauty don’ts TAG. The video is a video explaining all of the things you should not do with your makeup/beauty products. Some videos just explain what not to do and others treat it like a tutorial. I decided to do it as if I were doing a tutorial. Its in no way serious and I thought it would be fun….and I was right. It was extremely fun but really hard to keep a straight face the whole time.
Here is the video on a few of my beauty don’ts
Are you Guilty of any these Beauty Don’ts?
I used my BH Cosmetic contour & blush pallette the wrong way but I do actually love it 🙂
