The Three Rambles!

Hey everyone!

This post is mostly full of randomness but just wanted to share a few thoughts with you all. It is late here - 2am to be precise! Most people who know me know that I often stay up late as my sleeping pattern is awful. 

First ramble - I totally love how this blog now looks, don't you?! My friend spent a bit of her time doing it for me as I cannot remember for the life of me how to do all the cool, gadgety stuff that you can do on here and it's intriguing to see how other people perceive me in this way. The things I had stated I liked are skulls, pink, black and that's pretty much it. I sent her some photos for her to choose from as I could not decide - I can be so indecisive at times! 

My second ramble - Well I've been watching a few behind the scenes videos on YouTube and it has definitely helped make my mind up about my filming and video making. Yes, I have a YouTube channel - check out the link on this blog - and I have been creating videos for about four years now. So, I think it is now time to get a little more professional with the filming and the editing, don't you agree? My videos have ranged from music concerts to me talking about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - a rare connective tissue disorder - and to product viewing including make-up tutorials. I would like to start with the lighting of the scene - for if it's inside - on other YouTubers videos, they have those soft box lights which are professional lighting equipment - two reasons this is a no go for me; they are too expensive and I literally have no room to store them. When I started filming, I was using my old Samsung digital camera which is great and I'm thinking of trying to get it working properly again - the battery on it is dead and I do not know where the charger is. I just remembered that Signal Films had offered to lend me their equipment but it's getting it that's the problem for me. So, I'm kinda of not really considering this option at the time being. If I am as serious as I feel I am, then I need to start using my laptop which I'm reluctant as I find it too heavy and bulky - it's a trusty old Acer Aspire although it's been sent away for repair at least five times since I bought it almost six years ago. As I am writing this, I feel like I'm sounding negative towards all these factors but I have to think everything through thoroughly. I guess, if I'm being totally honest, it's a little bit of a struggle doing all of this by myself as I am by no means an expert in filming or editing and I'm very envious of those that can do it and are very good at it, like some of my friends. 

The final ramble - I'm always looking for ideas to do for my videos and blogs so if you have any, then please feel free to share them. I do plan on talking about EDS further, my charity fundraising, fashion/beauty reviews and tutorials. Take a look at my channel to see my videos. 

Thank you for reading this and I hope you continue to follow this blog! Oh one last thing - I will be writing more film reviews in the future as well, so keep an eye out. See you all soon xx

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Child Prodigy

It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

How I Created This Eye Look!!

Hi everyone! I want to tell you how I created this eye makeup look on myself from last week. I think it looks really nice and quite natural which is great for every day style.  The products that I used are as follows; Rimmel UK - Pinkadilly Circus Eyeshadow Palette ‘Rosie for Autograph’ by Marks and Spencer - Cream Eyeshadow Stick GOSH COSMETICS - Forever Eyeshadow Stick Avon UK - True Colour Glimmersrick Eyeliner  Benefit Cosmetics - Bang BadGal Mascara  How I created this eye look . I started of by applying the the lightest shade which is a white colour all over the lid as a base.  Then using the light pink along the crease line and all over the lid. Starting from a third off the inner corner, I applied the slightly darker shade just along the lid.  Then with the darkest shade which is like a dark pinky/brown in the outer corner. This creates like a smokey eye effect. I didn’t think it was showing up as much as I hoped so I decided to apply some of the ‘Rosie’ Eyeshadow Stick in the
