This Week's Videos videos | youtube

Hi, my little flower buds.
If you have been a regular reader of my log, then you will be familiar with the way that I used to share my videos. Every time I uploaded a new video to my channel, I would post it here too. I'm going to change that from now on, mainly because I don't want WFF to be bombarded with video posts. So, each week I will be sharing only one post with the week's three videos. Hopefully, that way you guys will have more content to read here, rather then watch.
I plan on doing this on a Tuesday, so if you are a fan of my videos, keep you eyes peeled then.

Blogger's block and baby brain...

I am having the hardest time trying to come up with some blog post ideas. It seems after the break I didn't expect to be taking, I'm finding it a whole ton harder getting back into it. Thing is, I've been missing it like crazy, same with vlogging and filming regular videos for my youtube channels. I just can't seem to think of anything other than baby stuff, and I don't want to bore you all with constant baby posts.

If you have any ideas, or anything you would like to see on WFF, please leave them in a comment below. I'm really racking my brain at the minute.
It's all mush.

Three Months In... dailyjones | dailyvlogs | vgtoolbox | videos | vloggers | vlogging | whenflowersfall | youtube

Hi flowers, 

For those who follow me on twitter, you probably already know this, but for those who don't; Liam and I started a daily vlogging series 3 months ago. 

I'm pretty much obsessed with other daily vloggers on Youtube, and I thought it would be pretty fun to try out myself. At first, Liam wasn't too into the idea, he didn't mind me doing it, but he didn't necessarily want to be the one holding the camera. Throughout the months though, I've found him being more involved and my new task is to finally persuade him to get his own camera. 

So, if this is news to you, why not take a look at some of our most viewed vlogs below. 

If you don't enjoy watching other peoples lives, but like animals, they I suggest you watch them anyway. I think I film way too much of our fur babies. 

If you like what you see, we would love if you could subscribe to the DailyJones channel.

We plan on doing this for a while, hopefully documenting things like our wedding and children as we go. 

Juggling is fun... catchup | daily | dailyjones | ideas | life | moving | personal | videos | vlogging | work | writing

Hi my lovelies!

Since I last posted, I haven't really had much time to myself and I feel like I'm now juggling so many things. 

I've begun to pack up our stuff and maybe a little silly of me, but I have also started daily vlogging. 

I wanted to be able to keep you all updated through this whole move process, but it's just dawned on me that we may be without the internet for a bit when we actually head down south. Doh! So I guess the vlogs will have to hiatus until will get sorted. Fingers crossed we can somehow make sure it gets turned on as we get there. 

Anywhoooo, I just wanted to check in and share the first couple of vlogs. 

Hopefully this weekend, I can actually sit down and get some proper posts written up. I'm going to try and write and film like a mad person, so there won't be a huge gap in posting whilst we move. If there is anything you would like to see, either on here, or over on YT, please let me know in the comments below. Also, if you've seen any new tags floating about, let me know about those too. I think they'll be great fillers for whilst I'm not about.

Apart from that and more box packing, all I have to look forward to is cleaning like a crazy person, freshly painting walls and laying some replacement carpet before we go. Fun. 

I hope you are all well!

Sam

Monday Make-up And A Little Catch Up. anxiety | benefit | blogging | body shop | catch up | colour tattoos | depression | fakeup | fotd | monday make-up | moods | sleek | videos | whenflowersfall | where have i been | youtube

Well, howdy doo my little beauties. 

I'm so sorry for the lack of posts and videos etc. Especially when I kept saying that it would be back to normal. 

I've spent a lot of time since turning 23 feeling pretty pants if I'm honest. Without trying to sound dramatic, I had a bit of a mini breakdown a few days ago. I was very much struggling with keeping my mood high, and after visiting family in the past couple of weeks, I felt I knew what I was really missing. 

At the end of the day, I know a lot of my low moods and 'feeling bad' days are down to my depression/anxiety, so I know that things will always be getting better. 

I'm at a stage now that I feel like I'm finally feeling somewhat 'normal', in a sense that I can now leave the house on my own, go to the shop, go to meet-ups etc. All things I wouldn't even have thought about this time two years ago. But, the biggest issue for me is still work. After being out of work for these past two years, I'm now feeling really frustrated that this is my only problem that hasn't really been helped by the medication I have been taking. I would love to get back to work, but deep down, in the pits of my stomach I know that I would still have huge issues to get up and go, that's if I did manage to get through interviews etc first. 

I've been looking online recently and I feel sick doing it, but I'm hoping that one day a job will pop up and my head will finally shout loud enough to be heard over the beating of my heart. If I'm going to push myself to get through this, I want it to be for a job that I'm passionate about, something that I know I will enjoy doing. Which, if I'm completely honest, I haven't had for a very long time. All jobs I've applied for before have been because I felt like I had to. Money pressures and such like. Those pressures are still very much there, but now the understanding of my issues is there too, it seems a lot easier to focus on what's important. 

So, after that very long winded catch up on me, I now want to get myself back to feeling good. I've spent these past couple of weeks feeling really cruddy and I've just let it happen. This week I am bringing back Friday Fitness, a new diet (I've fit my highest weight :S ), and hopefully regular videos. 

Blogging and Youtube is something that I love with all my heart and if it bought in pennies, I would make it my job, but that's really a longterm goal. Not exactly something that can happen over night. So, I'm now going to throw myself back into it, stop rambling and get on with today's actual post!

Well done to you if you managed to get through that lot! 

Please excuse the grainy iPad photo, the Mr stole my camera this weekend and it needs charging. 

I chose to keep today's face light, only using Benefit's Fakeup in Light and Medium as my base. If you're having a good skin day, it's amazing. 

On my eyes, I'm wearing maybelline colour tattoo in 'Light in purple' and 'Turquoise forever' on my top lid, and MUA single shadow in Shade 10 smudged on my lower lash line. I'm wearing Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara and 'Guipure' from my Sleek blush by 3 palette on my cheeks. 

On my lips is just The Body Shop lipgloss in watermelon. 

As you can probably see, my eyebrows are in a somewhat appalling state at the minute and you will see a post on them coming up within the next week. 

I hope you've all been really well!

Sam

My last videos of 2012 2012 | christmas | december | favourites | for | got | i | ill | last | norovirus | of | sick | videos | what | whenflowersfall

Hi, my lovelies! 

A few days ago, I managed to sit down and film a couple of videos. I was hoping to get a New Years tutorial up, but since then I have been struck down with what I think is the norovirus. In the past 24 hours I have lost 4lbs. I know it's probably all water so I'm making sure to stay hydrated. I may feel awful but I love the fact that I have had the most sleep I've had in a long time. I no longer feel tired. 

As soon as this passes, I am hoping to film my resolutions video, along with my favourites of 2012. 

But, for now you can enjoy these. 

I, unfortunately, will not be partying tonight, but I hope you all have a fabulous New Years Eve!

It's Tuesday again!! cold | cosmetics | england | english weather | filming | followers | freezing | ill | make up | make-up | sick day | start the day with sam | videos | weather | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | youtube

Hi Lovelies!

      So it's week three for my new Youtube feature and I'm really enjoying doing it. It usually gets to Monday evening and then I remember, "Oh it's Tuesday tomorrow! I have to film in the morning!"

      For the past couple of days I've been feeling a little under the weather, just getting a general sicky feeling in my stomach and being colder than I've ever been before. Even as I'm sitting typing up this post I have my heating on full blast (it's making no difference at all), 2 jumpers, slippers and a blanket over me. Oh, and a hat and gloves, haha, I must look like a real doofus sitting in my own living room wrapped up like I'm in the arctic! Usually I'm the kind of person who hates it when people moan about the cold, I usually like the winter, but for some reason this year that moaning person is me!! Roll on the summer, or at least temperatures higher than -2.

     The only up side to the freezing cold is that all I want to do is sit wrapped up warm, so the housework is getting left until I've thawed out and I'm getting on and actually writing some posts up! All weekend I've been telling myself to do it, and then I go and look for sales online, even though I have no money to spend right now. I can sit and window shop online for hours, anyone else like that or is it just me? 

     Anyway, I've rambled and moaned alot, so I'm going off now to do the actual things I have planned and I'm going to leave you with a rather short edition of 'Start The Day With Sam.' Enjoy!

Oh! And a big massive HI and thanks for following to the few new followers I have gained this week!!

Hi Lovelies!

    I thought I'd share my new youtube weekly feature with you! I've decided that once a week I am going to post a new video of me doing my make-up/getting ready in the morning. I will probably post on a Tuesday as to follow on from my Monday Make-up feature on here. 

    I thought of the idea this morning and I couldn't wait until tomorrow to film my first one, so you got this weeks a day early. 

    Don't forget to subscribe to my channel though, just to make sure you don't miss out of any of the episodes. I may not post them on here every week, and remember to give them a thumbs up if you would like them to continue!
