Feel the fear and do it anyway...

Hello beautiful people,

   

   My Name is Ashleigh-Jade, I am 16 years old and I'm from Northamptonshire, England and I am just trying to find my way in the world... 

Now that Take Me Out style introduction is out of the way...welcome to my brand new blog!

   I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now and my motto is 

"Feel the fear and do it anyway"

and therefore I just went for it even though I'm terrified it will be rubbish and not even I would want to read it! The reason i have started this blog is because I have always taken an interest in fashion and beauty and have gone out of my way to ensure I look different from others and put my own spin on current trends but recently beauty has also become a huge interest for me and i cannot get enough of Youtubers like Zoella, Tanya Burr and Becca Rose! Now, I wish I had the confidence to start a Youtube channel but it seems most of the previously mentioned people began with beauty blogs therefore I will stick to blogging but who knows what the future may bring.

    So as I said I have begun to get very interested in make up and to be honest I thought I used to do my make up quite well and it looked decent enough...I now realize the make up I used to do this time last year was pretty much just face paint in comparison to what I know now! I had no idea what primer was, contouring was a complete alien concept and curling my eyelashes seemed like a method of torture. This is one of the many things in a long list of things that come with being a girl; the idea that you are just supposed to know how to apply make up without any previous training as soon as you hit thirteen, we laugh now but we all went through the completely orange stage with so much blusher it looked as if we were constantly mortified and a bad case of three lash (my own personal term for when a girl has used so much mascara her eyelashes have clumped together to form only three thick eyelashes on each eye...beautiful).
       
    It seems it was obvious to many but I have only just discovered that there are wonderful people on Youtube to educate us mere amateurs on beauty hints and how to's and I have come to the conclusion that I am not the only on in the world who didn't know these methods and therefore each week I will be posting make up, beauty or fashion hints and tips that I have learned along with product reviews and the odd lifestyle post if I'm feeling philosophical. If you have any suggestions or anything you would like to see a post on leave it in the comments below and ill get on it ASAP!
     
    Bye for now,
