My brother first introduced me to “Youtubers” showing me Andrea Russett and to be honest every day now I look forward to a new Youtube update from my favourite Youtubers. There were so many incredible people to watch throughout 2016 but we picked out a few of our favourites, who are fairly smaller, to share with you. In no particular order, lets get started.

Saffron Barker

Saffron is by far one of my favourite youtubers. Her vlogs, hauls and beauty/make up videos have also introduced me to things I wouldn’t have bought before and I admire that. Her enthusiasm is outstanding, even when she is feeling down she still vlogs and film and lets us know its okay to feel down sometimes. I would absolutely love to collab with Saff one day - thats one of my main goals.

Hannah Renne 

Hannah has recently become one of my all time fave YouTubers! videos are so well edited and she has great makeup tips and tricks with her easy to follow makeup tutorials. Her fashion look books are also amazing, and are perfect for outfit inspiration. 

Naomi Victoria 
Naomi is one of the nicest people ever. She is so girls and chic, i love it. Half of the clothes in my wardrobe were bought because of inspiration from Naomi's hauls. I hoesntly don't know what to say about naomi other that i just admire her so so much! 

Fabulous Hannah

Han is definitely one of the ones right on the top of my list, she is so easy going and unique. I love her make-up tutorials (they are so easy to follow and look amazing! She is really talented), and her super funny personality. She also has amazing fashion sense, which can be seen in her fashion hauls. i once met Hannah at SITC 2016 and she was the nicest person I've ever met. - i would also adore to do a collab with her!

Lucy and Lydia

These two lovely ladies were two of the first youtubers i ever watcher, along side Andrea Russett and Zoella. my favourite video/vlogs of theirs are one hundred percent their holiday blogs such as, Los Angeles, The Disney Cruise, Florida and Tahiti. I have also met these girls at SITC 2016 and they were the cutest, loveliest girls ever.

Hope you got some inspiration of new youtubers to watch and i would definitely consider subscribing to all of these girls.

Lots of love, Alice xoxo

BRIGHTON

Brighton is just the most beautiful place, I’m totally and utterly head over heals for it. This is the second time that we’ve travelled to Brighton and it most definitely won't be our last. It was very different from last time we went but still just as perfect! Since we went in August we decided to give winter a try and it was just incredible...especially the christmas lights!

We stayed in the same lovely AirBnB with the same wonderful family, Ian, Pip and their two children Alix and Isla. Next year were hoping to stay in Brighton for a whole week and experience pride festival - which were so excited for! 

Brighton town itself is bursting full of tiny shops, gorge cafes and restaurants and more ice cream than you could ever imagine. Basically, the most dreamy place in England…ever. 

It was beautiful weather while we were down there, incredibly sunny and not too cold but cold enough so you can wrap up in warm cosy clothes, the best weather, right?

We had the most glorious time and have all come back home feeling super refreshed and even more ready for next time! 

Lots of love, Alice and Nia xoxo

Brighton

Welcome back to our blog!

Brighton has always been on my ‘go to’ list of places and a few weeks ago we finally ventured over there. It was good to be there and be able to adventure around the place. Brighton is around 4 hours away from our hometown,  so it was a little road trip, which was filled with laugher. We stayed in an AirBnB, which was a lovely house, located just outside the town, with a good 25-30 minute walk. It was super relaxing and stress-free being located somewhere so peaceful and quiet. one of my favourite things about our trip was waking up to the sound of the seagulls and the smell of the sea air. 

Unfortunately we only planned to stay for 3 days, two nights but we managed to squeeze a lot in! the first day was mainly just exploring the town and finding where everything was. We went down the lanes, on the beach, to the beach huts and onto the pier. We arrived at about 10am, and after going down and one way street, a bus and taxi only street and entering an exit, we finally arrived! 

On our second day we ventured out again, however this day was very special, but we will get to that. We were up and out the house by 10am and this day was just a chilled day taking photos for both our blog and Kellie's blog. We spent a good two hours around the beach huts - a great place for taking pictures and chilling. Another one of our favourite places was the bandstand. Anyway, getting to the exciting part..later on in the day, around dinner time we made our way up to the marina, somewhere Ian and Pip (the couple we stayed with), had suggested to us. About 30 minutes of being there and taking picture we bumped into the one and only Alfie Deyes (pointlessblog), Sean o'Connor, Chai Cameron and their friend. They were by far the politest, nicest people ever and we had a good laugh with them. We then headed to the beach and had a slush, then made our way to the lanes, where, believe it or not, we bumped into Alfie again, this time he was with Marcus Butler.

Our last day we spent chilling and again, down the lanes. One of my favourite 'shops' down there was a photo shop called photomanic, it has two booths, one black and white and one colour and table full of props so you can make your photos funky and bubbly. I would defiantly advice you to go there if you happen to be in Brighton, the owner of the shop was a lovely man, he was ever so kind. Lets not forget that we were also on TV! When relaxing in a lovely park we were asked if we could participate in a Dance documentary, no, we didn't have to dance haha! We just had to sit, watch and look pretty. The trip ended with a fun 4 hour journey back home.

Brighton is by far my favourite place to visit. Where's yours?

If you're thinking about venturing to Brighton, i would 100% advise you to stay at the same place as we did. Ian, Pip and their adorable two kids Isla and Alix are the nicest, friendliest people you could dream of staying with, they treated us as if they knew us and like we were grown ups.

We are back!

Hey guys,

We are sorry that we have not posted a lot recently we have been very busy with different things such as coming to the end of college so getting all of our work in, organising trips, getting on top of our YouTube channel and working. However as it is summer now we are wanting to spend some time getting posts posted on more of a weekly basis that you guys will enjoy. As well as creating these posts we are also putting a lot of work into our YouTube channel so would love it if you could check it out and give us some support. Especially as we are still quite new to it we are wanting to make videos that's interesting to our viewers and different to others. Although we are quite new to YouTube it is something that we have been planning for a long time and even started filming before we uploaded our first one.

Having said a little bit about YouTube we feel that we have not really introduced it on here. Our aim for our channel is to produce content that can be enjoyed by a range of people and we are wanting it to be different to other people so that it is not the same and boring for people to watch. The different kind of videos that we are wanting to have on our channel are beauty, vlogs, hauls, baking videos, Q&A's, collaborations with other youtubers and look books. But if there are any particular videos that any of you would like to see we are up for any suggestions and it would be nice to talk to some of you and get to know you more. Although YouTube has been on our minds for a couple of years it has always been something that we have held back on. The main reason for this is because we were worried what people were going to say as they can be quite cruel and judgemental about it. But since being in college it has made us realise who are real friends are, therefore it has made us see that if they are real then they will support us and our decisions. Also since growing up it has made us a lot more confident and learn to ignore what others say, as people are always going to say upsetting things about you. But what is important is making sure that you do something that you enjoy and have the people around you that are positive about the things that you do and the decisions that you make. If you would like to check out our videos the link for our YouTube is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcbET9TgeEZRk_HJBf_GJ9A

In the summer we have some very exciting things happening as we are going away for a little trip together and with our very good friend Kellie. She also has a Blog and a YouTube channel so it would mean a lot if you would support her too. Her YouTube channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCMMW-4oUjJ2eTky_1Ddvhw and her Blog is: http://kellieneeblog.blogspot.co.uk/
While we are away we are hoping to take plenty of pictures for blog posts and also get content for different videos to go up on our channel.

We are very excited about all of our plans that we have coming up and we hope that you are all going to be there to follow our journey and support us. If any of you reading this have a YouTube channel let us know as we would love to find more channels to watch and support you through your journey too. We think it will also be nice to get to know people that have the same interests and intentions as us. We should hopefully be a lot more active on here and hopefully create posts that you will enjoy reading.

Thank you for all the support you give us whether that is reading a blog post or watching our videos. It means a lot to us and makes us so incredibly happy!

See you in our next post, Alice and Nia xoxo

New beauty products

Hey guys,

In today's blog post we thought it was a good idea to show you some new beauty products we have bought. We were going to do a video of it on our YouTube channel but there wasn't enough products that would make a decent video for you all. For that reason we thought it would be better to make a blog post on it. They are all drugstore products so they are all affordable but are also good quality.

The first product we are going to talk about is the 'W7 In The Nude' pallet. One of the beauty products we both really like is eye shadow. This pallet consists of colours from nudes to golds, they are highly pigmented and are long lasting. We found that when we were using this pallet there are so many different ways that you can use the colours so that you can produce different looks. If you have seen the 'Naked 3 pallet' and really like the colours but feel like it is out of your price range then this is a perfect dupe. When I bough this pallet it was £5.99 as we got it from an outlet store. But even when it is full price we feel that it is a really affordable eye pallet and is worth every penny. When we saw these colours we thought that it was perfect to wear in the summer as they are light colours that go perfectly with the pastel colours of clothes that come out in season. 

The next product that we will be talking about is the 'W7 Mega Matte Lips'. When we saw this we instantly fall in love as we always finding ourselves buying lipsticks, especially matte ones. And recently we have been looking at matte liquid lipsticks, this is since Kylie Jenna has released her lipsticks. However as much as we liked the look of them they weren't in our price range especially as we like in the UK so have to pay for shipping too. Therefore when we saw this we felt we needed to try it out. Since we have got this we have both not stopped using them. The colour is high intensity and has great pigmentation. When we applied it to the lips we found that it has a creamy texture and was not drying at all. After wearing this for a long time we found that it felt light and moisturising on our lips. The colour that we got was 'Two Bob', but there are more colours to get and for sure we will be going back to get some more. This product is defiantly affordable as we got it for £1.99 but again we got this from an outlet store where the prices have a discount. However looking at the price of the product is still very affordable and worth the price! 

The last beauty product we will talk about is the 'Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water' in400ml. We both had this cleansing water before by in the travel size but really like how it took off our makeup and how it made our skin feel after. For this reason we made sure that we got the 400ml one. Both of us have quite sensitive skin so after trying so many different beauty products it is so good to finally find something that is kind to our skin. We have also found that there are some makeup removing products that do not fee like all of our makeup has been removed. But when using this product we felt the complete opposite, we found that just using a little bit went so far and was very effective. Another thing that we loved about his product is that it is perfect to use to take off lipstick, eyes and face makeup. This was very useful for us both and makes it a lot easier when staying somewhere else other than home. This is because there is no need to bring anything else so makes it easier carrying things. This also is an affordable product and we got it for £3.49 from the beauty outlet. Just like the other beauty products we would highly recommend this product to anyone. 

Let us know if you have any beauty recommendations for us that you have recently bought, or ones that you have been using for ages and love. We would love to hear from you.

The Air Flash Spray On DIOR foundation, is so easy to apply. With just one spray and dab using your beauty blender, Air Flash can have you and your skin looking, healthy and flawless in seconds.


The DIOR Backstage Pros product line appears at every DIOR runway show and every DIOR shoot. The Fix It indispensable primer and concealer for three zones of the face (complexion, eyes and lips), is fabulous.
i would definitely recommend these DIOR products to anyone. They are absolutely flawless and fuss-free!
