Update - New hair cut, working in a reptile shop

It's been a long time again, I'm sorry :-( I seem to go threw phases, it's not good, need motivation! Anyway, a lot has changed kinda, i finished school. I was meant to be going sixthform but I didn't want to go back into education and I know it's the best thing for me and all but I really just couldn't pull my self to do it and i really can't do things I don't want to do. So I'm working at my mums reptile shop now, might be doing animal care level 1, not sure yet, but I'm quite enjoying working at the shop. I had my hair cut! My ends were just so dead, i was growing it out and when I think about it I used to be obsessed with growing my hair out, now I've had it cut I'm not bothered at all. I mean I am growing it out still but I'm not bothered about how long it takes like before lol. I will leave a picture bellow of my new hair cut ^.^

So yeah it's quite a difference from before, but I actually quite like it and I've got quite a lot of compliments! Which I'm kinda surprised about because I personally think longer hair does suit me but i don't know. I have a different hair styling routine  its so weird because before I didn't really have a routine and but now because my hair is short I have to blow dry it a certain way and use certain products. But another good thing is that my hair is all my natural hair except a few highlights that are left from a long time ago and they've grown out like half way. I always said to myself that if I get my hair cut short I will always style it kind of big and busy, I love that style on short hair. Haven't been well lately though, either had a cold or felt weak/tired all the time and at the moment I have a swollen gland. If it still hurts in a few days then I shall be going to the doctors, its been so painful, been struggling to sleep properly and I can't eat hard food and when I touch omg the pain. Thank you for all of you that have stuck by and carried on following me even though I haven't posted in quite a while. Since I have more time I'm going to really try and keep posting on here. I started a youtube channel a while back, I really want to start that to but I don't think I have the confidence at the moment to really get into it, maybe in the future? I made a lot of videos private because when I watched them it made me cringe so there is only a few on public at the moment. If you've read this then thank you, really! Leave me a comment of what posts you'd  like me to do, would really appreciate it! 

P.S - I will be changing the layout of my blog because it needs to be changed and updated :-) 

hello!

Haven't post in a while again, i always say that im going to keep to it but i never! sorry! just gonna do another little update. I had my prom, it was alright, wasn't as good as i expected.I should of done a video on it but oh well haha. Haven't been mega busy, been up to a few things. Mostly dying peoples hair haha but i actually like dying peoples hair, i just wouldn't want it as a job. I get my braces in 11 days. Im super excited. I feel like most of the pain is out the way because i've had 2 teeth taken out. I already have this bracket thing on which is widening my jaw because its to small and i was in some pain at the start. But yeah, im to excited for them and i think thats blocking out the fact im going to be in pain when i do get them but it will be worth it! Youtube have been going well, slowly gaining subscirbers. My dear friend on youtube called sarah ( http://www.youtube.com/user/SaliorSarah ) is such a babe and put me on her channel, i seriously love sarah because she's just so down to earth and she's bloody stunning. And another girl on youtube called polly ( http://www.youtube.com/user/CiaoModa?feature=plcp ) mentioned me in one of her favourites videos which was soooo nice of her, when she was talking about me she said such nice things and shes just so lovely, just want to hug her! heck both of them out because their channels are amazing. I tell you what has been taking up most my time, sims 2! i don't no if any of you ever spent full days on sims when you were younger but i was a true simmer and i was totally obsessed with sims. I had a break from it and now im back into it, think im on my 4th generation! And sleep has been taking up a lot of my time, i've been going to bed at 3,4,5 in the morning which is really bad because im not getting enough day light! i mean its 3:16 in the morning now. Everyone in my house is asleep. So im having to type lightly so i don't make to much noise haha. Oh! i went to ikea today with my nan, mum and her friend and i bough a mirror and i love it, it's like a full length one and i can now take lots of pictures for OOTD and funny faces. Wow, another long update. Seriously need to get back into blogging.I think im going to keep the kinda beauty side on my blog and the fashion side on my youtube because most my videos are OOTD's. Even though saying that i did just post a june favourites which includes beauty related stuff, haha oh well!

Anyway please check out my new video and subscribe! 

Hey guys! 

So i haven't been on here for a while, been kinda busy, when i say kinda i haven't been that much. Since its study leave i've been having a lot of lazy days. And i've also had a few exams, i have one left which is tomorrow! So excited for them to be over, gonna have nothing to worry about like revising. But then i realised im going to be stressing about prom, just about my hair and my make up and just little things. And friday i'm having to have 2 teeth out because i get my braces on the 16th july. But in august im going to spain, YAY. Actually so excited, i don't no i feel like when your younger you take going abroad for granted and stuff. But now im grown up/still growing up i'm starting to realise how important things are and that money doesn't grow on tree's. I know that my mum and dad have plenty of money, not boasting at all. But they've brought me up to appreciate money, i wished that they did spoil me back then because i wanted everything but in a way now im grateful that they haven't spoiled me because i don't want to be known for being ungrateful. We all despise the rich, selfish people and i wouldn't want to be one. Anyway, i have made a few more OOTD's videos on my channel, i will leave the link bellow of my channel, please subscribe if you have an account because it really puts a smile on my face and makes my day. Talking about that, i hit 50 subscribers the other day, now im on 56! 56 may not seem like a lot but to me it just makes me so happy. Put 56 people in a classroom and it will be filled, it usually filled with about 30 people! imagine all them people wanting to watch my videos, i don't know i just find it amazing. I LOVE getting comments back and getting lost conversation and the subject of the conversation will be about something i love which is fashion/beauty. I have a feeling this post is going to be long, i just feel like i have so much to say. And sometimes i feel like just typing it out instead of making a video because i know some people prefer to read then listen to some one talk because of pauses etc. I haven't actually linked my blog to my youtube, i shall do that after this post! Just to change the subject again, I've been getting quite a few spots around my nose area, like at the sides/under. Their quite painful and there's like 4 and i don't no were they've come from!? I don't no if its from wearing concealer, i mean i always take my make up off at night. The T zone of my face is so sensitive. Like in-between my eyes area its so dry and then my nose gets redness at the sides and spots and then my chin is like oily and sometimes i get spots. Then my cheeks are fine and i hardly ever get spots or any problems. So if you have any recommendations then comment bellow please, really in need of a fix! This is a pretty long post so I'm going to stop now.

Guess who's started youtube?

Hiya chaps!
So since i am on study leave, i have a little extra time to yanoo relax. I've been having lovely amounts of sleep and I've been spending quite a lot of time on the internet. Mostly youtube and instragram. I've always wanted to have my own youtube channel and make videos like zoella, sprinkle of glitter, uglefaceofbeauty, beautycrush, there just some examples. But i don't really want to do make up tutorials. I prefer OOTD (outfit of the day) videos, i love make up but i don't wear make up THAT much, maybe in the future when i actually need to cover up my ageing i will wear make up more often. I prefer clothes atm, and yes i am not a full on fashion-est but i thought i'd give it a try! So please watch my first OOTD day video, and give me some feedback! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwO_qGX6Z5U&feature=plcp


It would really help me if you could give some feedback, maybe some tips or if im doing anything wrong? just let me know! Thanks for reading!


p.s if you do actually like the video and you want me to do anymore (any video) just let me know and i will!:-)


I've also made a bestfriend tag, its quite funny so check it out if you want http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iEu9IHhYzE&feature=plcp

well, its been a long time since i've last posted, like 2 months! idk what happened, lost the motivation! also i haven't really be 'into' doing my make up, i hardly wear it and i also haven't been purchasing any new beauty-related products. But i shall do a little update for you. I am now on study leave, broke up last friday. I have 11 exams -_- the first exam i have is tomorrow and its a business resit. I've been revising for it and i feel more confident now, in year 10 we had this terrible teacher who was on his last year because he was retiring, we did nothing, just messed around. Now we have a new teacher who quite good and he's had to gone threw all the year 10 stuff in year 11, so we've had to absorb a lot of information in one year! Exams are so stressful. Im defo not a A grade student, more a C student lol. Im going to try and updating my blog, but if you want to follow me on twitter, tumblr and dailybooth and you will hear more from me because im always on them!

Just to clear something up, i changed the name on my blog from 'Pretty Mantle' to 'Pretty Portrait'. I don't know i just like this better. Just thought i'd let you know so people don't get confused! 

05.03.12

hi all!
So even thought i started my blog last week i already have 14 followers. I'm really surprised, and that might not seem like a lot to some people but to me it means a lot because people actually take the time into checking my blog out and reading my posts and commenting on them. It just a nice feeling that people actually read my posts and when i get a new comment i get all excited. 


Anyway at the weekend i did absolutly nothing, just stayed on my computer saturday and sunday. I was ment to go out saturday and sunday but the weather ruined my plans, i hate when this happens. I like being on my computer but i don't like spending to much time on because i start to feel guilty at the fact I'm not doing my body any good. School's been a bit stressful because we have a controlled assessment in english and i also have one in business as well which i'm a little confused about, i also have media and geography coursework to. Its just all to much and blogging is just a time out for me. I love reading new posts from people i follow, just interesting to see what they've been up to. Anyway im off to bed now, bye :)

Update 29.2.12

So if any of you don't know, i'm in year 11 still doing my GCSE's. I have exams coming up, i have a maths resit next wednesday and because of this i have to do 3 lessons of maths on friday. I want to do good in this unit but i'm just not good a algebra. I also have a geography resit and i don't even know when that is but i don't think its in the next month. And then i have the rest of exams that are coming for unit 3. So many lessons i have to do homework for, revise and just be organised. I think its all too much. Your probably thinking i'm just a moaning teenager but i think we have to much on our plates. I have 9 different lessons which are english, maths, science, r.e(which i don't see why we HAVE to take it as a GCSE because i'm not bothered about other people's religions and i don't agree with them) p.e, media, business, geography and electronics. I just think its far to much, i think we should have about 5 or 6 lessons so then we can concentrate more on them because schoo, causes a lot of stress. And as we are teenagers i think we should still have time to actually grow up, i feel we're forced to grow up. It's unfair. But yeah, rant over.
