I'm Brittany and I have a YouTube Addiction!

You read that right! I have become a YouTube addict! Before I watched the odd youtube clip that everyone thought was funny but now I will spend up to an hour at a time just watching video after video! This is all because of the Vloggers I have found! They are awesome! They make great videos and I just get so drawn in because they all have been vlogging for awhile so I had a lot to catch up on!! I mainly have been watching a lot of beauty vlogs. I have been loving these because I have been actually learning stuff! I now know way more about doing my eye make up! I use more of the products I own because I know how to use them better! 

Is anyone else addicted to these videos!? If you are not I suggest staying away from the YouTube but if you are here are some of my favorite YouTubers to watch! :)

Talia Joy - Taliajoy18

This is one amazing little girl! She is just a cutie and is so positive! She has been through so much in her life, battling cancer at such a young age is something I can't even imagine. Her skills with make up are insane! I think I could practice for hours and not be able to do what she does! Check her out for sure because she is just amazing!

Emily Noel - emilynoel83

She is like my beauty vlogger god! She knows pretty much all there is know about make up! She great informative videos, telling you what are good and bad products. She also gives you high end and drug store equals because we all know we can't afford everything high end and really some of the high end stuff isn't even worth it! I also have to give her husband props for being such a good sport in her videos! Her cat Cupcake is pretty cute too!

Zoe -Zoella280390

This girl cracks me up! Her videos are great, I started watching her because I loved her lipstick and now I watch her because she has some of the best videos on YouTube. Her and best friend Louise are quite honestly the funniest girls! I think they would be a blast to hang out with! I swear if I was still in England I would have looked them up by now because I would need to be friends with them!

Louise - Sprinkle of Glitter

This is Zoe's best friend and I love her for all the same reasons I love Zoe. Their trips to London make me miss London and wish I had of moved elsewhere in England but can't regret that stuff now. Check her out and her baby is adorable!!!

Justine - iJustine

I have actually been watching Justine since she was on JustinTV. I love her videos because they are normally pretty darn funny! She is a real girl and like watching her grocery shopping videos. I know I'm a tad crazy leave me alone!

So, there you have my some of my favorites! Don't blame me when you realize you have been sitting watching YouTube videos for days! These YouTubers are awesome so blame them for being so damn addicting! Okay, time to go and watch another video!

See Ya tomorrow lovies!

Weekend Update!

Okay I haven't done a link up with Sami in forever so I figured since I had a decent weekend and even took a few pictures I would  do a weekend update! 

The weekend started on Friday with more then enough primping because I was headed to watch some cute boys curl for the evening. I know most of you probably don't even watch curling or even know what it is but it is a hard sport! Lots of strategy for this sport and skill because I know I would hurt myself playing this! I'm sure I would slip and fall on the ice before I could even play! On the bonus side of it all there are some cuties! This weekend Port Hawkesbury (about 90 minutes away from me) was holding an event called the National and some of the biggest teams in curling were going to be there so I got myself some tickets and took off with Erica once she was done at work! We stopped at Boston Pizza for dinner before heading to the Hawk which was delish! I had Thai bites and a salad...thai bites make my life haha. Oh and I had a drink called a Twisted Rocket which tastes like a Rocket popsicle! Amaze! We got the Civic Centre a tad early but it was okay because we got to see a few of the curler wondering around. I should have gone up to some of them but no one else seemed to be doing that and it was before the game so you don't know what mind frame they are in but honestly looking back I should have jumped at the chance to get my picture with John Morris! I think he is the reason why girls that are under the age of 60 are watching curling now. Curling used to be the old person sport but it is really catching on with everyone now especially since the Olympics in Vancouver! Anyways, it was a great night of curling and seeing some of my favorite teams play. The only team I didn't get to see was Team Jacobs which was kinda disappointing but what can you do they played in the draw before the one we were at. I did get to see Team Martin (reigning Olympic Champs), Team Koe and Team Howard which made me a happy girl! Here are some pictures from Friday :)

Almost ready to start!

Nolan Thiessen...lead for Team Koe...I heart him

Ben Hebert...lead for Team Martin...also heart him...I have a thing for Leads

Kevin Martin and Marc Kennedy

Nolan again

Action shot

More action

John Morris...Third for Team Martin....he is so good looking!

Curling: the only sport where you can giggle with the team you're playing against!

I love this sport!

Saturday was a lazy day because we didn't get home from curling until late. It was around 12:30 I think because the event wasn't even over until 11pm, then of course I couldn't get to sleep for another hour or so! So yes, a tad lazy on Saturday but on Saturday night we decided one night of curling in a cold rink wasn't even we decided to head over to the rink here for my cousin's hockey game! Hadn't been to the new rink at the Wellness Centre yet so I figured it was good time to go and check it out. Seems pretty nice, didn't get to see much expect the rink but that is what we were there for! Sadly the boys lost the game 4-3, they tried! I think they outplayed the other team but they just couldn't get the puck to the back of the net. They did beat the same team today 9-3! Should have gone to watch that one instead! Anyways it was fun night! I love watching hockey so I was a happy camper! Bonus, rink not that cold :)

And today was extra lazy! I didn't even really get dressed! Had a shower and put my sweats back on! Hope everyone had a great weekend and you're ready for another week! 

Have any plans already for next weekend??

xoxo

Sunday Social

It is Sunday so we all know what that means! Another Sunday Social Link Up with Ashley and Neely!

1. What is your ideal way to relax?

-have a nice bubble bath! Lush bath bombs please!

2. Where is your favorite place to be?

I love New York City so there but also whenever my loved ones are :) Yup went cheesy with that one!

3. Who do you consider your biggest role model?

My parents, they are amazing people who have bought me and my siblings up the right way and they still love each other very much after 34 years

4. What does your life look like in 3 years?

I have no idea! I hope it is amazing though

5. If you could go back and change one decision, what would it be?

I don't live with regrets so I wouldn't change anything. Everything happens for a reason.

6. What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far?

Making the decision that England wasn't right for me and coming home knowing it was going to be okay even though I felt like it was the end of world at the time because it had been such a big decision to go. I know that is a little different but it was a huge deal for me in so many ways.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Winter Blues Got You Down?

Got the winter blues? So do I and they are no fun. I long for more daylight and lightweight clothes. I am tired of dodging slush with cute shoes and having fear that my legs will get frostbite if I wear a skirt. Who else is so over black and gray? I am also growing slightly bored with the whole skirt and tights look. Blah - winter is here for another few months and we have to make the best of it.

Hi everyone! I am Allana and my slice of the blog world is A Husband and A Dog. On AHAAD you will read about my boring life with Big E, my husband, and our cute-as-ever Corgi names Lincoln. Oh sure there are posts about my fashion, hair, and makeup OR the lack there of. Although in twenty thirteen I vow to be more "put together" and actually give a hoot about my appearance. Therefore ... this entry that Brittany so graciously offered to me. Now let's get a move on to some winter fashion to carry us over till the birds start chirping again.

The first outfit is a favorite of mine. LOVE the color of the coat. Those leather leggings are to.die.for in my book. This shows that you can still look chic by pairing black with bright colors and make a statement.

While this next outfit has colors of fall why couldn't you wear this now? Those cinnamon colored pants are outrageous and love the navy shirt paired with it. The menswear inspired "blazer-vest" is a great add on.

I pretty much desire all the clothes on this site. I like to think that I have fashion style when really I don't.

Hope you enjoyed this little fashion show and it inspired you to get out of your winter rut. I know I am headed to the mall to buy a few statement pieces.

To get you inspired I am going to offer one of Brittany's readers a $10 virtual gift card to The Limited to get a jump start on getting out of the winter blues funk. The card can be redeemed at THELIMITED.com, eloquii.com and at any The Limited store locations.

Side note: If you are a plus-sized woman and never heard of Eloquii before - OMG. They have all the same great styles as The Limited offers but in your size. Yes, I am plus-sized and I find sooo many great finds on this site.

Remember to stop by my blog and introduce youself. Take care and good luck!

Doctor said I must be Superwoman because the pain I would have been in when it happened would have been insane!
