The Boyfriend TAG!

Hey y'all!

I was tagged by a good friend of mine to do the boyfriend Tag on YouTube. After getting so much positive feedback from the last video that my boyfriend, Daniel, was in, I decided it would be fun to bring him back. 

So the point of the video is to ask your bf/gf (depending on which tag you're doing) a series of questions provided to you. They are supposed to answer them unless they don't know, which then you can answer for them. But those rules aren't very strict and most of the time it's usually the girl answering anyways haha.

Here are the questions:

1. Where did we meet? 

2. Where was our first date?

3. What was your first impression of me?

4. When did you meet the family?

5. Do I have any weird obsessions, if so - what?

6. How long have we been together?

7. Do you have a tradition with your gf/bf? 

8. Where was our first road trip?

9.What was the first thing you noticed about me?

10. What is my favorite restaurant? 

11. What do we argue about the most? 

12. Who wears the pants in the relationship? 

13. Do you hate any of each others exe's?

14. If I am watching tv what am I watching?

15. What is one food I do not like? 

16. What drink do I order when we go out to eat? 

17. What size shoe do I wear?

18. What is my favorite kind of sandwich? 

19. What is one talent I have? 

20. What would I eat everyday if I could? 

21. What is my favorite cereal? 

22. What is my favorite music?

23. What is my favorite sports team? 

24. What is my eye color? 

25. Who is my best friend? 

26. What is something you do that I wish you didn't?

27. Where am I from/What is my nationality? 

28. What kind of cake would you bake me on my birthday?

29. Do/Did I play any sports?

30. What can I spend hours doing? 

31. If I could live anywhere, where would it be?

Check out the video below and let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more of Daniel.

We were thinking of doing some funny challenges together :)

What's In My Shower?!

The other day I came across a series of videos on YouTube called the "What's in my shower tag". My first reaction to video tags is usually very confused, but I actually really enjoyed this one. I thought it was cool to be able to see what products people used in the shower and why they use them. It's a great way to find specific products that benefit you. For example, if you have very fine, straight hair that has no volume, and you watch someone who has a similar problem, you can see which products they find useful!

Now, I am definitely no dermatologist or hair dresser, so I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to hair/skin care. All I know is what works for me (by trial and error). I have thin, fine hair. It was very curly when I was little but now it's wavy/straight. I don't understand how it changed so much. I used to be so blonde that it looked white when I was younger, but as I got older it became a more dark blonde, mousy brown... so I dye my hair. I used to bleach it back in the day when that was cool, but once all my hair practically fell out I decided to stop doing that. In the winter I get low lights and in the summer I get highlights. The last 2 months I decided to go a subtle ombre which actually worked out really well because nobody can tell that my roots are growing in. It's great! 

I have a dry scalp (ew) during the winter months so I had been on the hunt for a really moisturizing shampoo (but one that doesn't make my hair look greasy). I searched around the internet and found that Lush has a lot of really natural, organic products that work really well for skin/hair care. I decided to give it a go. Love, love, love! Their BIG shampoo is by far my favorite. It not only helps with my dry scalp problem, but it gives my hair crazy volume! Bumble&Bumble has also been a lifesaver. Their products are amazing. And of course I can't forget my love for Soap&Glory. The smell is to die for plus their products are extremely hydrating.

Check out my video where I go in to detail about the products I like to use.

Oh, and FYI, I shower daily but I only wash my hair every 3rd day. Washing your hair everyday is a no no :)

How cool is this waterfall shower? 

My Boyfriend Does My Makeup!

Happy Monday everyone! Today is an exciting day. I finally finished editing a much awaited video for you guys, My Boyfriend Does My Makeup. This has been a popular tag going around onYouTube the past year and I couldn't wait to film it. I was a bit hesitant at first because my boyfriend, Daniel, has watched me do my makeup numerous times and I thought he'd do a really good job (the point of the tag being how horrible guys are at doing makeup). But I thought, what the hell, might as well do it anyways and if he's good, then we can all laugh at how good he is at doing makeup... Wow, was I wrong. He was terrible. I knew as soon as he took my pink eyeshadow and applied it as blush, or when he took my concealer and used it as lipstick. All in all it was a very funny video to film and I was completely shocked to see the finished look afterwards.

What was even more hilarious was my sister's reaction. "Oh my God, EW!!" Love her haha.

Thanks for reading!,

Watch Dan fail hardcore!

Get Ready With Me! ♡

Hey guys! I want to start off this blog post by saying THANK YOU! Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading my blog and leaving a bunch of sweet comments. AND for helping me reach 1, 200 hits with just three posts! That's crazy! I'm really enjoying all the feedback you guys are giving me (through comments, texts, and in person). I've always wanted to start something like this but was always too shy, so thank you for helping me come out of my shell :) Love you all!!

Anyways, on to the point of this post. For the past 4 and a half years I have been watching YouTube videos religiously. From comedy all the way to beauty I've enjoyed every video. It always helps get me in a good mood and it has taught me so much. I've always been fond of the beauty community because I was very much into makeup. I've learned loads of tips and tricks and have shared them with my family and friends. 

People who I don't know as well often comment on my style and makeup and ask how I do things certain ways. I've always wanted to start posting videos on YouTube so I thought, "what would be a better way?" 

Now, let me begin by saying that I know I don't have perfect skin. I have the occasional acne break outs when I'm stressed or if it's that time of the month, but that's what I love about makeup! It can hide anything. I'm not saying I need makeup to feel good about myself because, trust me, I leave the house 80% of the time with no makeup on. I just feel like makeup is a luxury, not a necessity. It's an art and one of my favorite hobbies.

So, today I decided to film the "Get Ready With Me" tag that a bunch of YouTube beauty guru's are doing at the moment. This is how I will usually do my makeup (if I have the time) to run errands, go shopping, etc. It is my every day "natural" makeup look!

I will always do a messy side braid when I can't decide what hairstyle I want to do.

Thanks for watching, reading, commenting, and supporting!

Alex
