The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Hey, do you wanna know how I spent my entire weekend?

Well, don't you worry, I am about to tell you.

On friday, I decided to start watching a web series called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I didn't expect to go through ALL 100(!!) videos by the time sunday night rolled around, but that's just what I did. I'm surprised I just now found out about it, (it's over a year or so old) but once I started, I just could.not.stop.


To say the least, It was really really good. Basically it's a modern adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' through a video blog online. It's funny, clever and even at times emotional and sad. Not only that, but it's just a genius way to re-tell the story. The way they take the original and adapt it to current issues is just amazing. (Not to mention that it's an Emmy award winner series!)

 I kinda was sad when I came to the end and now I wanna watch it all over again. 
Now, I've moved on to their current series, Emma Approved, an adaptation of Austen's novel 'Emma.' 

 If you love Jane Austen definitely check it out. Even if you don't, I still feel like you'll love it because it makes the story feel so much more relatable to this day and age.  
Beware, though, because once I started it, I completely lost my weekend. 

To watch the series from the beginning, click here!

Beauty Gurus I LOVE, 31 Days of LOVE

About two years ago, I stumbled across a section of youtube I had never heard of before. I thought Youtube was just for viral hilarious clips (Hello Charlie Bit Me and Screaming goat!) and for music videos. Boy was I wrong. 
I stumbled across the beauty gurus, and it's completely changed me.
Watching these 'gurus' do their make up really taught me everything I know about makeup. 
People will ask me "How'd you get that perfect winged liner" or "How does your skin look so flawless" and my reply is always youtube. 
Today I thought I'd enlighten you to a few of my favorite girls to watch! Maybe you too will learn a few things!
Oh and a couple of these gals I've mentioned in this post about their blogs.

{Just click on their name and it will bring you to their page}


She's by far my favorite youtuber. Not only is she super talented at makeup (she should totally be a makeup artist) but I always look for her reviews first before buying products. She will always give you her honest opinion on a product. 


Not only is her accent completely adorable, she really knows makeup. This girl can.do.anything. For real! I believe she was a free lance MUA  but now just does youtube.
I love her Friday's Favorites and a possible poo whew!, her tutorials are the bomb and I trust her opinion on products as well.
Plus, us southerners gotta stick together!

You guys. She is freakin' hilarious. and drop dead gorgeous. Quite a combo, huh! 
I love her random videos and also her makeup tutorials. Plus, I can guarantee that I will laugh every single video. Oh, and she lives in Texas. So I automatically like her. :)

I am addicted to her videos! She seems like such a sweet person in real life and I have to admit, I am totally jealous of her hair! It always looks so pretty and her makeup is always flawless and natural.  I love her feminine style.

I just love her. She's british and just plain adorable. I like her style in both clothes, makeup and decor. She doesn't post a lot of beauty videos, but when she does, they rock.

and there are a bunch more I'm forgetting and I didn't even include my favorite vloggers! 
Definitely check them out if you haven't and tell me which ones you love!
