30 day snap challenge day 12

Hey hey,
Most of my day was spent doing an assignment that's due in tomorrow, fun fun! Out of all the areas on my course this is probably my weakest, writing songs on logic and stuff like that, I'm a lot slower than the others, probably because I'm a singer and they're all guitarists so they know more about keys and stuff like that. I'm a bit rambly this evening, sorry!
I also had talent scouts from the voice come to my college today so I auditioned for that too, so fingers crossed :)

Bed time now

30 Day Snap Challenge - Day 10

Hey Hey!!

Today's snap is of my music stuff! Didn't realise I had quite so much stuff until I got i all out. I'm not actually that good at guitar but I like them and I cant bring myself to get rid of any of them!!

From Left to right in this picture I have

Microphone : sE2000 - around £80 but you need an audio interface box with it ( I use Cakewalk  UA-4FX )
Keyboard : Yamaha PSR E403 - I don't use this anymore since I got my electric piano but it was very good for learning and you can record on it too which is VERY useful when song writing!:) -
not sure if this is still available

Now the guitars

Electric - Westfield baby pink - I got this 2nd hand from the music school that I went to, I've never been able to play power chords or anything like that so I cant get a very good sound out of it! I'm sure a good guitarist could though :) 

Chantry - I bought this from a charity shop called Sue Ryders I'm not sure if its just a local one of its nationwide, but it only cost £50 and its not 2nd hand, the shop actually make and supply them themselves, very good for a starter guitar!! 

Tanglewood - this one is my baby!!! My FAVOURITE guitar, It has a hand painted design on it and my name written on it also!! It's a lovely sounding guitar, its an electric acoustic so good for gigging also and has a built in tuner which is always handy! I bought this from Ziva guitars - this is the make/shape of the guitar I got http://www.zivaguitars.com/#!Tanglewood Discovery Deluxe|c1crq but I got it in black and with the design "la fleur" which made it end up looking like http://www.zivaguitars.com/#!la Fleur|c1m2e 

Westfield - Another westfield guitar! I've not played this one really, I have it out on display though as it's pretty, I got this for my 18th birthday from one of my bestfriends at college. When he passed me the guitar case and said happy birthday I was like.. haha very funny you cant have seriously got me a guitar, and refused to open it thinking something was going to jump out at me, then when I saw it was infact a guitar, and pink it was clear that it was infact for me!! Talk about a good friend or what?!

'Herald' - This one is my slight guitar of shame lol! It was my first ever guitar, I must have got it when I was about 8, it is a nylon strung guitar (at first I thought that was all you could get then I didn't understand why mine sounded different and later realised it was because I didnt have a steel string) & I got this from Argos.... Sorry musicians! I didn't play it for a good few years though! then eventually I did, picked up the basics quick enough and then my collection grew!

Finally!!!! The electric piano - this is a Korg SP250 which costs around £600 and it is VERY good! I was given this for me to learn my piano grades on !:) 

The software which I use for recording is Sonar Le - and I have NO idea how to use it, if anyone knows how to use this software I would greatly appreciate some tips!!!

Anyway this has turned out to be quite a long blog post so time for me to shhh!!

30 day snap day 9 - fishtail plait

Hey hey!
If anyone is wondering what this is I'm doing this from sprinkle of glitter, visit her blog for more info about the 30day snap challenge :)

Today's snap is of my attempt at the fishtail plait! I have quite long hair and rather than just having it down and straight I want to do a bit more with it so gave this look a try! If anyone wants a tutorial tweet me!

(this is my first ever attempt so be nice)

Colourful Eye Makeup!

HeyHey!!

So when I was working at a photographic studio, I was being the model for my friend who was wanting to learn to do makeup professionally, and it ended up in me experimenting on my self everytime we were browsing at photos. I did this look to wear to a fancy dress party where I went as a doll.  (The middle image is the look I tried to create, and the outer 2 images on the left & right are my attempt - the eyeliner is a little messy sorry!) This look was using the Pretty In Pink eyeshadow palette from my previous eyeshadow post.

I wouldn't use this for everyday use as you can see it is very... vibrant! But for a fancy dress party or a themed photoshoot (e.g seaside,mermaid type thing) then it would work well :)

If anyone has any tips on how to not get the little dots of mascara on your eye lids that would be great. Because as you can see, I've had that issue a little bit here and the only way I can think to get around it is to keep my eyes closed until the mascara is dry,which obviously isn't very convenient!

More makeup looks to come! If there are any looks you want me to try & make a tutorial for, tweet them to me or message me the link on here!!

30 Day Snap Challenge Day 8

HeyHey

Today was LAZY DAY!! yey. I went out last night drinking with my boyfriend and a couple of friends - bad idea. I didn't get drunk as I was feeling poorly, but being out until 1 am then staying up with him and my dad until 3 am playing call of duty probably wasn't the best of ideas because day I've felt awful so have remained in my pyjamas all day and am now sitting here eating ice cream! My mr has now gone on a course for the next week so I shall have to find something entertaining to do in order to give you more entertaining pictures than my fluffy socks...

Speak soon :)
