Anonymous.

 Not identified by name; of unknown name. Having no outstanding, individual, or unusual features; unremarkable or impersonal.

I wanted to talk about anonymous questions and the reasons why people would send you questions with out there identity being shown, is it out of curiosity, love or even hate?

Why do you want to be anonymous? Do you want to find out information about someone? I think that’s its really interesting that in this day and age everyone wants to know everything about everyone and people let them by creating things such as Formspring and Qoohme which are specifically designed for people to ask questions, which are majority anonymous. I personally don’t have a sight like this but I’ve heard from people that it is a mix of positive and negative questions and statements which can be about the person’s looks, habits and activities such as their exercise and diet, there love and personal life, family life, friendships and even their fashion style. Again as I’ve said these can be positive or negative so compliments or something more along the lines of bagging the person. It is when these questions become abusive that I draw the line. It turns into a cowardly act when you are abusing someone on an anonymous setting. These people must seriously have no life and obviously didn’t listen to what we were taught at school ‘if you don’t have something nice to day don’t say anything at all’. I do have a tumblr page though, where I normally get questions about fashion related issues and I’m more than happy to answer them but I’ve had enough of rude people whose only aim is to bring me or others down! I have spoken to many people who have spent hours crying or upset over stupid anonymous remarks including myself. So to the keyboard warriors.. find something better to do with your life than bringing others down.

Some people send genuine questions and I know that there are many shy people out there that are just curious; they usually send cute anonymous questions. From personal experience I’ve had anonymous questions that have turned my day around for the better , and some questions that people have sent honestly put a smile on my face and this is what I want to encourage. Why bring them down when you can life them higher and encourage them to do and be better. I personally think that if people come off anonymous it would make a massive difference; I mean if you have something to say whether it is good or bad why hide behind an online mask.

I’ve had a lot of weird questions lately and a few people talking to me about similar issues they have had so this is why I brought it up. I think the main message I want to send is to think before you send a message off anonymous and to imagine being in there shoes, or how you would react if you received the message.

Much peace and love

Oh Miley what are you doing?

Recently Miely Cyrus has been turning heads for all the wrong reasons, it all began when she cut her hair shorter which i loved because it was a bob length.. but she then took it a step to far cutting it pretty much all off! It gave her a punky rock look which was a total change from the Disney/girl next door look we had grown to love! With the change of hair also came a change of dress style, more studs and black leather seamed to enter her wardrobe! Personally i want the old Miley back..   

Her photo shoot for V magazine made me forget totally about the old Miley.. this is obviously a strong statement from her and i think this new punk miley is here to stay! I wonder how the beautiful Liam feels about this new look?? Don't get me wrong I've always been on team Miley but i honestly think she has taken it toooooo far!!

What are you thoughts?

SMOOOOOOOOTHIE TIME!

So these are my thick berry smoothies, i usually have them as an after uni as a snack or a quick breakfast if i'm on the go.. i have had a few people asking for the recipe so here it is! 

Firstly you need a smoothie blender then to add about a cup of frozen mixed berries in the first picture i used more blue and black berries and in the second picture i used more strawberries and raspberries hence the different colours! But the key to how thick it is are that the berries should be frozen! Then i add 2-3 spoons of yogurt, if its flavored yogurt i don't add honey but if its plain i do and then add the milk so its cover the berries till about half way! When you turn the blender on it may sound really bad but thats just the berries being chopped up by the blender, then add a tad more milk! 

I usually eat it with a spoon or give it 5 mins so it starts to melt! And bam you have a yummy healthy berry smoothie perfect for a hot day!

Hope you enjoy and are able to use this recipie!

FORMAL X2

I've had heaps of messages about where to shop for formals in the past few months so i thought i would answer a few questions.

Most of the questions have been about where to shop online and I'm not a big online shopper. This is because I'm really tall i have to be careful about the sizing as sometimes they are either to big or small and i think for a formal you want something that fits perfectly! But if you have bought heaps of things from a certain store and find your dream formal dress then of course get it! I would also recommend if you are going to get your dress online so get it at least a week before the actual formal date and express delivered. This means that you will have time to try it on and if it doesn't fit or you decide you don't like it gives you time to find something else.Looking online first is what i did, it give you a great idea of what celebrities have done in the past and also what hairstyle and even makeup is in!

Hair styles that are always in are:

• Having your hair out with soft curls or waves, it works for both middle and side parts. Having this hair style is good for a more simple dress as having too much detail on your dress and a statement jewelery piece then your hair out as well can look a bit much.
• I love a messy braid or plat to the side, i think it works really well with someone with long hair and looks great with a strapless dress!
• Buns are also very popular at formals and i've done both a messy and slick bun, i loved my messy bun it was low with lots of volume i had a middle part and soft curls in the front. I sometimes find a slick bun a bit boring so what i did was have a plat at the back of my head that worked up into the bun at the top. It looked sick and added a little something to a plain slick bun!
•  I think that side swept soft curls are a beautiful look but are so overused, especially on the red carpet this year! If you wanted to change it up but why not change it to a side pony. Your already half way there and with a side pony it can even out your face 
• And of course there is the slick of messy high pony tail which always looks great and is so simple.

 Smoky eye adds a really dramatic effect!

I'm also loving this dark lipstick at the moment especially on girls with brown hair!

Red Lippy has always been a personal favorite 

 

Above were some of the celebrities hair and makeup styles that i love! I hope it can inspire you and give you a few more ideas of what goes well with what and also about the range of different looks you can go for which is especially good if you are going to multiple formals. I would also recommend that if you are going to a range of different formals to change it up with hair and make up because there are so many different looks out there. I changed form a natural make up to a full on smokey eye, i also did brown shades with a red lip and a few more! I also jumped online and looked at a few stores and here are some of the links i found:

INSTAAAAA 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So majority of my instagram posts consist of food, selfies, going out, quotes and fashion so i thought id do a post on my favorite food pics which have also been a hit on my tumblr page (they are under the tag 'me'). They are a mix of cooking, breakfast, lunch and snacks. I think going out for food is such a great way to get to know someone and my ideal date is going out for breakfast. I think its more chill than going out for dinner and breakfast is just soooo yum! These are just a collection of my favorite meals which i have shared with some great company.

 

Hope this didn't make you as hungry as it made me! I mean how good is food! Yum yum yum im going to make a cake now, hope you all have a lovely day!
