Summer Weightloss challenge update week 6/7

Bonjour mes amies! This post is going to me a little delightful mixture of topics including how I'm getting on in my lifestyle/healthy eating change over the past few weeks and also a little mini haul! I've joined for a 1 month pass to exercise classes at Studio fitness in the marina commercial park on centre park road, cork and I'm really excited to hopefully see some results over the next few weeks! I really want to try hard this month :) Enjoy as always,

Lots of.. Hair..

My COMPLETE hair story, and everything you need to know about how I got it long and thick!

IM BACK// AGAIN..

Hello all! Once again apologies for my brief absence but I was doing something productive I swear! ;) As some of you know from  my last few posts I returned to lovely Belfast again to find a place to live now my university place has been confirmed!! Even though I'm back home now, I wont actually know exactly where I'll be living until monday, exciting! Tara will officially have her own place over summer with 3 amazing roomates :D. Heres a very random video I took on my blackberry to show our roomates one of the places they couldnt see themselves, but I think its still a fun little video to show you guys! Most of the places we wanted to look at were flats which I'm really happy with, cause there always a wee bit more modern then the houses! I've never seen anything like the student accomodation in belfast. its just insane compared to everywhere else in ireland! Entire areas of the city purely filled with students, rows and endless avenues of victorian townhouses just too nice on the outside for students! The rent is also a big plus! I'll be paying max £210 pounds a month for a fully equipped modern flat with everything I need!:) If you can't afford to go to the likes of Dublin or London, Belfast is such an amazing in between- and very like cork atmosphere wise :) . Also I have a New LookBook video to share! Enjoy mes amies, T.x

Lily Collins Makeup & Hurr.

Hey guys, I did so much talking in my last post that I said I'd keep it to a minimum today! This is my take on a makeup & hair look that Lily Collins had in LA magazine. The young actress has just started to make her mark since taking on the role of Snow White in 'Mirror Mirror' , one of two snow white films out this year!
Below is the picture I worked from, using the tones of her makeup, so improvisation was necessary in regards to colour, but I quite like the finished look. The lashes really add drama to what would be a plain look. Hope you enjoy!

Doublé Posté

And she returns... Todays post is a double post, as I've been totally neglecting this blog since I got back from Belfast! Another great trip, fall more in love with the place every time I go! Also even tho I said this would be my last haul, I actually forgot to include a few bits, so I'll save them for the next :) Ive suddenly become a bit shoe spree friendly lately, and I'm praying to all that is holy that this 'new handbag' craving will go away! BE GONE THE MATERIALISTIC DEVIL INSIDE MEH!




Also on this post is my 4 (since the first day of starting, so technically 3 weeks) week summer weight-loss update, oh and what an awful week it was. after 3 weeks of lifestyle change epicness, I fell off the wagon big time in Belfast. But I've noticed a big difference in the way my body is reacting to the change, and I hope I never go back to how I was! Since Ive been back from belfast though I'm pretty much back on track, brunch/ water/ dinner, I try to stick to it and I think it works for me. If I need a snack I'll have a weightwatchers chocolate mousse or a lowfat bag of crisps or 2 ginger nut biscuits, but I try to make sure that I exercise a little more of those days. Since I started the challege my quality of life has changed pretty dramatically! Even tho I've only lost a few pounds, I no longer feel constantly lethargic and craving my bed. I get up slightly earlier now, have my small brunch of 1 slice of wholemeal brownbread toast with granola(which you'll see in my 1st video) and fruit, have my walk/jog for 30/60 mins depending of the day, come home wide awake and ready to use the day to the fullest before and after dinner. The biggest thing is that I no longer feel I need naps every single  DAY! It was a religious thing I would do after college, but it was so unhealthy and unproductive! I just couldn't help it, but I haven't had one nap since I started! I can feel the exercise and watching my portion sizes working in that way. It's weird I always used to think that exercise would take up so much time and throw off your day but it really does quite the opposite if your a procrastinator/lazy arse like myself. Apart from that I've noticed my chest is down about half a cup size, unfortunately the first place I always lose weight! And my stomach pooch is still there but it feels lighter and not bloated/fat-feeling all the time. Im 100% on board for getting back on track and today is proof that you can come back from a crappy week, you don't have to give up!

As always, Enjoy muthafkrz...

Weightloss week 2!

Step into my Spring:)

Hi-lo all, this is a little spring lookbook of outfits I've worn, both sort-of extreme and casual over the last week or so, but less talking and more watching, go, go!
Also if your a Lookbook.nu user feel free to fan me for regular post updates:)

No, not more clothes!?

I'm afraid it's true, I've managed to bag even more goodies to show you this week, and a pretty decent online haul that should be up next weekend/ish. The word 'haul' just sounds awful and spoiled doesnt it!?But just to re-iterate I buy 95% of the things you see with money I saved from my job between september '11 and Jan '12 ! It's almost gone though, so enjoy these hauls while you can! :-) Also if you didnt see the update in my last post I've got some really big news to share, and I cannot wait to take you on this new journey that I'll be starting around september ;)
Who wants me to vlog house-hunting?! ;)
Enjoy as always, T. x



YSL Rouge Volupte shade 3 Ultimo/ultimate beige swatches:

Oh no, summer is approaching!

...which of course can only mean one thing...Another attempt to get that summer beach body we all want for our holidays. This time I want it to be different though, I want to make a gradual lifestyle change and hopefull lose a few pounds without attempting(and failing miserably) one of those fad diets that don't last. For the past month I've been facing the inevitability that I'll be moving from home, and I do not want to take a freezer full of processed habits with me! I've always had an interest in cooking, apart from the ever-so-important physical part of it, and this year I wanted to make a change. I took the absence of my parents for the last week an excuse to start experimenting with meals I like and basically just flaking a load o food that doesnt mix together on a plate- 'jus cause I can, and they are the plain jane old flavours that I like!

ON THAT NOTE: A college update...I GOT IN! I am now a University of Ulster fashion design student come september!

If you'd like to follow me on my (hopefully successful) Journey to weighloss, please tune in for my weightloss videos that will be up once a week!

Greatest/Shittest Products of March 2012.

Just a few fun videos I did for my youtube channel over the past few da-yaz. I also did a quick laidback lookbook post , what do you guys think? Its a bit simple, but I thought it was time I went back to basics. I have the awful habit of over styling and adding to much sometimes so it was nice to dress quite smart..Just cause buying anything from Zara has the power to make you feel oh so shmart.

Products I think are shite video:

Current MakeUp Routine//

salut mes amies! A much due tutorial was in order so here it is! Ive actually filmed lots of tutorials but usually an evil data stealing dwarf steals an important clip, rendering the rest of the tutorial pointless and un-uploadable:( I was beyond thrilled when I saw all of the files transferred with no problemos, and ta-da- we have a full video! I filmed it a bit different and 'more to the point' then some of my tutorials in the past, and I think its turned out a lot more clear and less rambly then usual! I cant wait to start doing more tutorials, as its been so long since I did some really fun ones! This makeup is pretty much the same makeup I wore to my Andrea Roche casting, but I didnt use highlighter or lip gloss. I'd reccommend this makeup if you were someone wondering about what makeup to wear for an audition or casting, and you dont want to go completely barefaced. All the products I used will be listen below the video! Enjoy as always,

Reviewzle.

Bonjourrrr! In today's post I'll be doing a full review and demo of a new foundation by Esteé Lauder I've been trying out for the last two weeks. This review was supposed to be up ages ago but as I was DETERMINED to have it in HD it took an 7 hour upload attempt every night for a week! But by some miracle, it's up in all its HD glorified pixels. Is the search for the perfect everyday foundation over?????? Let's find out..
(you may have to expand the video in another youtube window to choose the HD option )

Todays DIY: American Apparel Inspired...

Allo Allo, back with another DIY video, this is one for the ultimate skint people, and also the people that refuse to pay absurd prices for the simplest little clutch! In this tutorial I'll be making a A.A. inspired clutch for a fraction of the price, €6! I choose burgundy because its one of those rich colours that just goes with everything! I bought a 1/4 of a metre to make this size for about €4.50 and the zip was about €1.20! A sowing machine is pretty much a necessity for this one I'm afraid! I would reccommend everyone get one, they come if handy all the time and you'll be surprised how much you might use it! I think they even have really good quality ones in Lidl!

Enjoy & Peace, T.x

Aaaand I return, Post sickness

Hey cailínís, I must apologize for my lack of bloggage!
It all started on a dark cloudy day, as I lay in the depths of my duvet, only to wake surrounded in a sub-conscious POOL of used tissues... I avoided a cold for the past year thanks to some good ould A-Z multi vitamins, but I forgot to bring them on a trip and I had hell to pay. I had the full on MAN FLU! Luckily it mostly cleared up just before I headed to Belfast, another week-long reason for my absence :'(. But enough of that, my Uni interviews are over and I couldn't be more thrilled! It was like a mini-leaving cert for the past few months and I'm so glad things have wound down and I can hopefully for the first time since last summer, read a magazine at the least! Im so behind trends/ designers at the moment I find it rather embarrassing! I used to be a pro, sigh... Anywho-zle, I present to you, a haul ó Béal Feirste!
