New years resolutions

Aren't you lucky, two posts in one day :o I hope you are all enjoying your 2014 so far. I thought I would do a quick blog post on some of my new years resolutions this year! 2014 is different since this has been the first time a new moon has been in the sky on a new years eve in 19 years! A new moon represents a fresh start and so I have decided this year I shall really try with my resolutions! So without further a do here they are!

1) Stop biting my fingernails! - this always seems to be one of my new years resolutions but now I'm at the age where I do like beauty and fashion and I would obviously love to be able to paint my nails and actually like them!

2) Eat healthier! - I'm forever choosing crisps over oranges and it needs to stop since I don't do much exercise so the least I can do for my body is give it nutritious foods! Which leads me on to....

3) Don't snack out of boredom! - So you're watching your favourite tv show and the advert comes on and you suddenly find yourself wandering aimlessly towards the fridge, the next thing you know your show is back on and you're sat on the sofa with a bar of chocolate... can't be the only one right?

4) Keep my room tidy! - this means make the bed every morning, put stuff on designated shelves and hang up that dreaded pile of clothes :p

5) Challenge myself more! - Scared of that ride at the theme park? Don't like the sound of auditioning in front of so many people? Do it anyway! What's the worst that could happen?!

6) Excercise at least once a week! - Ok so I do P.E at school 2 hours a week but that's not nearly enough, it's time to get those trainers out and go for a run for fun!

7) Be more motivated! - Especially with school work, it always seems like such a task to get the maths or English homework due in time but realistically if I just crack on with it then I'm the one that's going to benefit!

8) Use my calender! - Every year I get a calender and every year it just gets forgotten about while hanging on my wall! This time round I am determined to use it properly!

9) Be a better older sister - Alright you got me I am often getting caught up in stupid fights with my little brother but since this is the year for change I will at least TRY to get a long with him!

10) Be happy - This year I am going to avoid being negative about myself, I am going to avoid others putting me down about myself and most importantly I'm going to be happy about everything, even the little things in life!

So I hope each and everyone of you enjoy your 2014 and leave me in the comments below one of your new years resolutions! Ta ta for now!

Lots of love, phoebelou X

Youtubers and why you should watch them...

So before I begin I just want to say how awfully sorry I am since I have not been near a blog in soooo long because of lots and lots of school work :( But anyway today I shall be showing you people the wonderful world of youtubers! And like always links will be at the bottom of the page so you can view there channels! (but be warned since when you start watching there videos you WILL become addicted!)
The Girls:

I shall start with my ultimate favourite youtuber..

Zoella!

Zoe in one of her videos

Zoella was the first youtuber I watched and I have probably seen all of her videos since she began filming! Zoe does Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle videos on her main channel then on her second channel (morezoella) she does daily vlogs! Zoe is becoming rather big and currently has 3,176,287 subscribers!

Sprinkle of Glitter!

Louise, her daughter Darcy and her husband Matt

Zoella and Sprinkle of Glitter are known as the chummies of youtube (watch some of there collab videos and you will understand why!) Louise (which is her actual name) does the same kind of things as Zoella but with a dash of adorableness from her (not so) Baby girl Darcy and hubby Matt. I have actually nicked this pic from her blog, which is also great btw! Louise also has a vlogging channel called sprinkle of chatter so check that out if you have the time!

Tanya Burr

Tanya is probably the most recent youtuber I have started watching. She is a trained beautician and her youtube consists mainly of beauty videos (however if you're not into that she does do vlogs aswell!) Tanya is very well known even out of the youtube community and has gone to lots of premiers for movies which you can take a look at on her blog or youtube, she is also releasing a nail varnish and lip gloss range on January the 30th! Her fiancé also does youtube videos but I will get to him in a minute!

Mac Barbie 07

 Beth is the only American girl in my youtuber favourites. She has done incredibly well for herself and gotten so popular that she has had the chance to release her own clothing range! All her videos will make you smile but the only downside is if you're British (like me) you can't buy the lovely stuff that she shows you in her videos :(

The boys:


I have actually decided that I shall leave the boys for another day since this post has taken a while and is fairly lengthy at the moment! But I hope you have enjoyed this post and let me know in the comments if you would like to hear about the boys!

Until next time, lots of love phoebelou X
