It starts with a blank page...New Youtube Adventure

It's always nice when you get a good reception on something you took lots of time and effort to work on.

Whilst experimenting with my camera and from the inspiration from certain youtubers, (Im looking at you EMILIYOFNEWGLOOM) I felt inspired to do something different. Outside of beauty video's and Vlogs. Guess what! I think I actually really like it! 

It is most definitely my attempt at sounding like I think about other things besides make-up. I hope for others that it is somewhat thought provoking. It was definitely a growing experience for me (it sounds funny I know!)

My little baby stars in her first video

It is the first time many people I know will have seen my play guitar (and yes, though you can't see the body of it, that is the actual sound and video of me picking through some sweet, sweet melodies) but lets be honest here. We're all glad I didn't actually sing! 

and of course, what is a video without my practicing my silly faces                                             beforehand? I'm sure you will get used to it one day! 

Then the editing begun! I spent quite a long time on this project! I'm so proud on what I came up with, and I was even confident enough to show my parents...They got a bit teary eyed! 

Then was the realisation after I had uploaded it to my youtube...I HAD FORGOTTEN MANY CLIPS! Well, isn't that a dilemma? I guess that just means I'll have to make more.... ; ) 

If you'd like to check out my video, I would be indebted to you forever, and I will make you numerous cups of tea, and buy you lots of kittens! and better yet if you were to help with a little constructive criticism and support! Oh, and of course, check out my Muse's channel! She is utterly divine and I can only strive to reach the level of eloquence that she does! You will be hooked in no time, I promise you! 

Here's the link to my video, sit back, relax and enjoy!!

Don't forget to leave me a comment below of your thoughts! As well as your youtube channel or stories about delving out of your comfort zone and in to something completely new! 

Lot's of crazy cat Lady Love,

Maddy!

My Dress Shopping Encounters//MaddyBeautyLove

My Dress Shopping Encounters

Dress hunting for special occasions can be super duper hard and if you're anything like me, you hate the process of trying on clothes. Taking clothes off, putting clothes on, taking clothes off, putting clothes back on....and so on and so forth.

It's a long, hard, tiring process that usually, for myself at least, ends in my head in the sleeve (Which I never seem to fail to do) or attempting to find my way out of clothing that I swim in. Not just this, but I'm unusually picky. Whether this is derived from my picky eating, being too lazy to try on clothes and possible the fact that I am the most honest (sometimes negative, ask my mum!) clothing critique I know. To even get me looking at clothes is an achievement! This is unless your store name is Alannah hill! 

I just thought I'd show you a few sneaky photos (thus I apologise for the horrible quality of the photos) I took in the lovely store of Alannah Hill back in April when trying to find some lovely evening-vintage-esque pieces. 

These were taken around the same time I started to watch BBC's Downton Abbey and some pieces, though as you can see were too big; I so badly wanted to buy them so I could prance around my bedroom with an English accent and listening to classical music.

Of course, there were pieces that I tried on for Mama Bears entertainment. This being Much to my dismay. Try and see if you can guess which dresses they were!

Ever since I was introduced to the Alannah Hill designs, I could not  help but just own everything! From the gloves to the hats and especially the tights! What I wouldn't give for those tights! But I have yet to focus my spending on clothing. I find it hard to spend a large amount of money on clothes that must be dry-cleaned...This stopped me from getting a $90 christmas inspired sweater that I would give up my first child for! Drastic, but truthful! Surprisingly, and sadly, I don't have documentation of this piece, though I could describe it down to every strand of its perfect existence! Hopefully it is now with someone with just as loving and as much adoration for the piece as I hold for it!

I think it is obvious to say that I left this attempted shopping trip empty handed. Though I did pick up a few things from other shops (Including a cheaper, less maintenance christmas-y sweater) *Hi-fives all round!

However, since, my mum never fails to nonchalantly remind me of her cardigans, dresses and numerous other pieces she has purchased in the past.

The finest detail is given to each piece, and even the stores are absolutely gorgeous and luxurious!

If I am correct, a good selection of their stuff is made right here in Australia!





 

Lots and lots of love,

A vlog, an OOTD, and the Boyfriend with my camera...//MaddyBeautyLove

A vlog, an OOTD, and the Boyfriend with my camera

Testing out my facial expressions preparing for the filming I planned for that day.

Yet another very attractive Facial Excercise Practise! 

My boyfriend & I enjoyed a winter walk around the neighbourhood in which we tried to catch as much sun as possible! 

I feel as though I should get points for going on this walk in heels...and not slipping over!

Just a bit of cam-ception during the filming of my vlog

As well as coaxing him into taking a few snapshots that didn't quite turn out so well.

When we got back I decided I wanted to experiment a lot more with the settings on my camera and I'm actually really happy with how most of them turned out!

He picked this as his favourite. 

Though my boyfriend was more impressed with his work with the camera...
 (The one on the right is mine)

My and my first apron, mitt and tea-towel set from typo.
(Can be seen fully in my haul)

I've decided to try and perfect the art of heel's and socks. As its commonly noted socks and sandals are not ok, unless it's the apparent trend of Jelly sandals and "hip" socks..(whatonearthiswiththistrend) I tend not to delve in to fashion trends that would set me too far outside my comfort zone, but this look I'm pleased with. 

Shoes from Novo & socks from Sportsgirl

Isn't it gorgeous? I feel as sophisticated as Marianne!

Thank you for reading! See you around soon Honey Bunches!

Happy New Year! -My Resolutions-

The New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What are your new years resolutions? Comment below! I want to hear about them! 

Another year, another  365 days  of unpredictable craziness and another 40 of so weeks left of my last year in High School.

Just passed, another 1^st of January when I made resolutions that will be forgotten by February the 1^st and will forever be left resolved.

The question, this year, ‘will I make it a resolution this year to fulfill at least one promise I have made to myself?’ And then in fact killing two birds with one stone?

Yes.

There is no reason to make a resolution about food for someone like me. Im not tempted but chocolate, cake, chips/crisps, or sweets of any sort.

 And staying away from the minority of junk food that I do enjoy, would never last. Because, when does it ever? (Though the respect I have for people that can, such as my mum, I will forever be in awe!)

 So instead I think the basis of this year will be keeping myself and those around me as happy and as for as long as I can possibly make things.

Of course for this,  we must start of with the traditional ‘get healthy’ one.

Though I’m not in any shape or form to be worried about my weight, and excluding any sort of idea of starting a diet. I plan to begin this year by living by the wisdom of Elle Woods.

‘ Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't!" … In this case for me, ‘doesn’t fail year 12. They just don’t!’  

I think starting with at least 30 minutes of  walking or other exercise plus stretching is a good way to start.

Leg selfiess.... always great! 

what has also kept me somewhat motivated in past months was the calming exercise of taking photos of plants and such whilst on my daily stroll! 

Though, unfortunately, I am not a gifted photographer, I am fairly proud of these photos...Though my camera is to thank...mostly and there is nothing better than to capture beauty, stay calm and stress free while exercising! 

Also, to stay mentally healthy, I think I will put to use a well thought out Christmas gift that I received from my parents. 

The adorable chistmas-sy box it came in! 

 When I opened the box I wasn't sure what to expect!
I was pleasantly surprised.

 'Make today HAPPY'

I think it's an important thing to remind oneself of everyday.

 Three peg-magnet-thingy's, which I decided that I would use to clip up happy messages around my room!

A lovely ball point pen.
The ink was luckily in black.
(My favourite writing colour)

 

'Write it down' 

I think it's hinting something. 

 I love this idea! Though I don't believe there is enough for 365's, I think this will defiantly become handy for those unmotivated days! 

 The Collection!

 I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I ADORE THIS! 

 Just a little reminder...

How I have placed it

The original gift set:

http://www.kikki-k.com/notebooks-journals/happy-gift-pack-winterland

At a newly lowered Price of $27.97, It's a fabulicious gift to brighten anyones day, or to even spoil yourself! 

Over all I think it was a cute stocking filler that my parents added. A gift with the main purpose of making me happier. 

The pages have a collection of blank pages, lined pages, worded pages and etc. 

Perfect for 'Happy lists', Happy snaps, inspiring quotes and more! 

Staying within the theme of Go and get happy, while I was searching for the gift set on their website, I came across the Kikki.K a project entitled 'The Collaborative Happiness Project' With the underlying message of 'Do More of What Makes YOU Happy!'

Go check out their site! It's not only a gorgeous page, but you can download a chapter of Gretchen Rubin's novel, 'The Happiness Project', you can take part in Happiness workshops, download inspiring wallpapers for computers and mobile devices! You can also pledge via Instagram for the chance of winning various prizes and join in on live chats! 

Take full advantage of this chance just as I am, in an attempt to make yourself happier as well as those lucky enough to be around you!
