Something a little "App"atising

Hello Blogoverse, I come to you today with news from the app kingdom! In recent months i have come to follow a website on twitter @beautylish at the time of the great following I thought it merely as one of those huge Twitter companies that just automated tweets to get hits on their website. However over the past couple of months I have actually learned that this is in fact and online community of both professional and amateur beauty junkies. It is some what like the facebook of the hair, beauty and fashion industry where users can submit their own work for review as well as the companies own team of very skillful bloggers posting various videos and reviews of up and coming products as well as some killer street fashion that anyone with a set of eyes could appreciate.

Naturally when I learned that this website had gone mobile and its wonderful creators had developed an App available for both the android and IOS market I was on it like a car bonnet. Now from the palm of my hand i can access and huge amount of user content and even eventually upload some of my own work. The beauty of this website also comes in the form of being able to receive feed back from like minded peers as well industry professionals. So if this seasons plum eyeliner isn't hit at home there are hundreds of people online waiting to accept you with open arms on the web.

Their website can be found here or on Facebook here. Dont forget to subscribe for more news, reviews and HOWTOs.

Confessions of a clothing hoarder...

Hello Blogoverse! Today as I was hurled up in my room on the last of my Christmas period days off I was left thinking about a blog post I made recently about my Beautaloutions although I have made some very positive steps in this direction ( yes this means we have a haul post coming up) I found myself floating on the thoughts of one where I promised myself that I would purchase new articles of clothing every two weeks to a month. It then struck me that to actually be able to commit to this I would have to start getting rid of some clothing that I already had! Unfortunately I am an out and out clothes hoarder, I am a firm believer that the knit wear jumper I bought in Topman two years ago in an end of season sale is still going to serve me well, and it is reasons like this that I never have new clothes because I think "ah sure the old ones are grand" As i said in the title of the mentioned post this year was a case of "New Year, Old Me" yet I think the old me should starting dressing in some new clothes. So i am here today to give some ideas on how to lose some wardrobe weight.

1: "The Man Up and Throw Out"
   This concept is the most straight forward but in my opinion is the hardest one to do, it simply requires you to just take one for the team get a few black bags and your old tracksuit on and dive head first into that wardrobe of yours and start firing clothes into the bag. The most important rule is to be cut throat if you have second thoughts it means its time to dump it.

2: "The Hung Up on Hangers"
   I got this little gem from a blog post about how to declutter your life and basically you take all your clothes and hang all the hangers in the one direction and every time you wear something you change the direction the hanger was facing so you can keep track of what you did and didn't wear and you do this for a given period of time and at the end of it all throw out what you didn't wear. It sounds like some modern day genius however I personally thought it would leave me wanting to wear all the clothes and thus the hoarding continues.

3: "Ask your mum"
   This should only be used in cases of extreme hoardom as it suggests it requires getting your mum to go into your room and giving her the free reign to throw out any clothes she either doesn't like on you or knows that you don't wear. It will most likely leave you with a single pair of jeans and a jumper but it will leave you with some space to fill.

To any of you out there who do consider doing this this january I would ask that you take the time and find a charity shop / organisation to donate all these clothes to as I am sure there are people out there who would benefit greatly from them.

As you have read from the title I'm not going to make any wild decisions to change myself within the coming year, 2012 has been a good year for me from passing my college exams and getting my apprenticeship in a salon to mention but a few great things that have happened within the past year. However this year I have decided to make a few beauty resolutions (Beautalutions) so that I can make the old me look better and I recommend that to those of you reading this do the same. So here they are folks fresh off the press my Beautalutions...

1. To Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise my skin everyday
2. To Exfoliate my face and body at least once a week
3. To do the above in ten minutes  
4. To buy at least one new thing to wear every two weeks/ month
5. To not make any bad hair cut/color decisions 

As for whats on the cards for 2013, I will be twenty one in February major excitement, I am also going to London in March the first of many trips over to see my best friend Momerz!
