Over the next few days I will be transferring posts from this blog to that one, so all of these posts will be avaliable in 2 places until the end of April, until that point when I will be deleting this blog.

YouTube Schedule

Hi all! I just wanted to write a quick post to say I am changing my YouTube upload schedule.

When I get back into YouTube and actually vlogging and filming videos, I will upload a main channel video Sunday's at 6pm, if I have clogged during the week, I will upload it on a Wednesday at about 5pm.

I won't daily vlog, but most weeks you will get a vlog hopefully:) on the weeks where there is no vlog, there will be two blog posts, one Wednesday at 5pm, the other Saturday at 6pm as before. 

I just think a Saturday upload was too adventurous for me especially with college, but stick around for some content around Christmas time, as I plan to do many Christmassy videos!

See you soon,
All my love, Em xxx

Grades Don't Define You.

Hi everyone! A bit of a serious post today, I wanted to talk about exam grades. My grades, and what you should expect of yourself when you open your results on Results Day.

First of all, in my AS Level exams, I achieved,

Photography: B
English Language: C
Music: C
History: D

Which is exactly what I was expecting, and I am not resitting any exams. Not even history. Even though its not a good pass, I was happy with what I achieved on a subject I wasnt actually good at. I could retain the information, if you were to ask me something about the crusades I could answer it. Ask me in essay form and I can't do it.

I have continued my arts subjects, and I hope to do really well this year.

But my main focus of this post was to say that no matter what you get, your family, friends, family friends and me, are all proud of you and your achievements. If you fail a subject, it could have been a bad day, or just a hard exam, a lot of people will be in the same boat, so have a cry, let out the emotions, and carry on. Resit if you really want that C or B, get a remark if you just want to pass, but make sure you are doing the right thing for yourself. The right thing for me, is not resitting, but my friends are resitting because thats best for them. They want to go to university and I don't know if I do yet.

Thats another thing. You dont have to go when you finish college. You have the chance to take a year out, travel, get your head together and really get to know who you are and what you want to do. I now know what I want to do, and its either photography or music, my grades helped me realise that history was out of the question.

I'm going to take this opportunity to tell my four best friends how proud of them I am for their hard work and grades, I don't know what I would do without you guys.

Thank you all for your continued support while I've been away, my views have steadily kept rising, so thank you!

Hopefully I will be back to full time blogging again soon but until then, I'll post when I can. Don't forget to follow, comment, and subscribe to my YouTube channel, link is at the end of the post. If you're new, hello, welcome!

Speak soon!
All my love, Em xxx

Movie Review! The Imitation Game.

'Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine'

The Imitation Game (2014) PosterHi everyone!

I wanted to do a review today of a movie I watched when staying at my aunties last week, The Imitation Game.

It's based on the life of Alan Turing, more on him later. To start with, it's quite hard to understand, but as you get further into the movie it becomes more obvious about the little quirks of Turing, played by the incredible Benedict Cumberbatch, and why he calls his machine, Christopher. Cumberbatch's portrayal of Turing moved me to tears towards the end of the movie.

Alan Turing was a British pioneer in computer science, mathematics, and many other things including long distance running. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. During the Second World War, he worked for the Government Code and Cypher School, at Bletchley Park. He and the team he worked with eventually cracked the German Enigma Code, which would be reset at 12 midnight every day to avoid cracking. Though they could never use it to help save people, 'Hardest time to lie to someone is when they are expecting to be lied to.' 

An all star cast including Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, and Charles Dance, The Imitation Game is a must watch. 10/10 would watch again.

Seriously though, I cannot imagine how hard it would have been for Benedict to portray Turing, especially towards the end of the movie. I wont give anymore spoilers, youll have to watch to find out.

I would reccommend this movie, and would definitely watch it again.

All my love, Em xxx

Another One Sided Chat

Hello!

I'm sorry for the lack of a post last week, I was really ill, and didn't feel like myself, so sorry!

But I thought I would let you know how I'm doing with everything.

I hope anyone sitting exams with me the best of luck! Don't stress yourself out and check out my post on revision tips a couple of weeks ago.

Disney Anthems.

Alert, childhood memories may be induced by these songs.

Hello! I hope you are having a lovely weekend!

I wanted to share my favourite Disney songs with you, some of them you may not agree with but I am in love with these, and they are my childhood, I always have fond memories listening to them. These aren't in any particular order of favourites, just a list for you to add to in the comments!

Prince Ali - Aladdin
'Hey you! Let us through, its a bright new star, oh come be the first on your block to meet his eye!'

This was the song I always sang with my mum around the house, Aladdin was one of my favourite songs when I was younger. I always loved the magic surrounding the Genie and the magic carpet. 


Reflection - Mulan
'Who is that girl I see, staring straight, back at me? Why is my reflection someone I dont know?'

A relatively new addition to my list of Disney anthems. The lyrics mean a lot to me right now. I never liked Mulan when I was younger but its grown on me. 


Colours of the Wind - Pocahontas
'The rainstorm and the river are my brothers, the heron and the otter are my friends, and we are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends.'

This. Song. Wow. It's obvious that the writers researched the culture and its just so beautiful. I've been listening to it on repeat recently. I love it. 


Scales and Arpeggios - The Aristocats
'Though it seems at first it doesn't show, like a tree ability will bloom and grow.'

I love this. Other than Aladdin, The Aristocats was also my favourite movie when I was younger. It was so warm and lovely, and made me, and still does make me smile every time I watch it. 


Thomas O'Malley - The Aristocats
'Tellin' my friends of the social elite, or some cute cat I happen to meet, that I'm.... Abraham De Lacy, Guiseppe Casey, Thomas O'Malley, O'Malley the Alley Cat!

This was another song I sang a lot with my mum, I still do really, its so much fun and I love it. I this its possibly the fun that drew me to the song and the movie


Part of Your World - The Little Mermaid
'Up where they walk, up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun, wandering free, wish I could be, part of that world'

Such a beautiful song from a beautiful movie. I loved the Little Mermaid and this song was always one of my favourites. The magic behind the whole thing was beautiful. (My friend did an amazing cover of this, I'll leave the link at the end.)


Love Will Find A Way - The Lion King 2
'They can have the world, we'll create our own, I may not be brave or strong or smart, but somewhere in my secret heart, I know, love will find a way.'

Out of the three Lion King movies, this one was my favourite, including this song. If you havent seen the second one, go watch it, The Lion King 2, Simbas Pride. It is without a doubt my favourite Disney movie right now. Romeo and Juliet was the basis and I just love it. 


Just Around The River Bend - Pocahontas
'I look once more, just around the river bend, beyond the shore, where the gulls fly free,'

Another Pocahontas song, and this is also one I'm in love with. It has such powerful words in and its been my motivation thoughout exams. 

So theres my all time favourite Disney songs, let me know if you think theres any I missed and I would love to know your opinions and favourite disney songs.

Also, let me know what you would like to see on my YouTube, as I want to film a video this week, and I don't know what to film!

Love you all, Em xxx

Illness strikes

Hi everyone, so I'm afraid I have no post this weekend for you :( I've been really ill since Friday last week and I'm only just properly starting to feel better. I've not had chance to write you a post because I've not been feeling myself, I thought that it wouldn't be up to standard. 

Though I can update you on the exam situation, I have completed the first of four exams! Woo go me! And I feel good about it so I'm not worried! 

I know you will understand the lack of a post, and I am sorry:(

Spotify Playlist.

Hello guys! Happy Saturday once again! I hope you are all well whilst im busy revising for my exams.

I thought I would do a Spotify playlist for you of all the songs Ive been loving recently. I've found it hard to keep up this blog, and revise at the same time. So I decided to make a playlist for you. There's a wide range of music in this playlist, and to be honest, I really love it, theres a lot of different types of music in there.

Favourites <3

Theres a couple of 'joke' songs in there but I felt that because Ive been loving them you need to hear them, so enjoy the couple of hours with my music taste, I hope you agree with the choices!
I'm sorry this is a short post, but I had no idea what to write for you all, though in a couple of weeks time I will be uploading videos, including a makeup tutorial so get EXCITED!

Let me know what you think in the comments!

All my love, Em xxx

What Do You Want To See?

Hello! I hope you enjoyed Saturday's post about my life so far, I thought it would be something a little different. Though I want to know what you want to see from me on this blog and on my YouTube Channel, I do want to do some tutorials, though I don't personally use some products because of my skin, I breakout easy with new things so I don't use foundations or concealers, bronzer, blusher or other face makeup like that, though I can show you some of the eyeshadow looks I tend to do a lot.

I really would like your input on this so I know what you want to see! 
I will do videos that I like to watch, I would like to do a sims series at some point, but that probably won't be until the future when I can fully dedicate myself to this blog and my channel. 

But right now I can do sit down videos for you all where I chat, and answer some questions! 

I'd love to know what you think! Leave a comment or send me a tweet or something and let me know what you like watching on YouTube or reading on blogs 

All my love, Em xxxx

My Story So Far.

I wanted to write a post about myself, and explain more about who I am and what I want to do, so heres my story so far!

I was born on 5th December 1997, at about 6am. It was a cold, dreary Friday morning, and my dad cried. I don't know much about my early childhood, but I know that when I first went to nursery my mum couldn't bare to leave me, and cried almost the entire day. This is also the time I met Hannah. She is a few months older than me and I don't even remember how we became so close, I just know that we did.

I can't remember much of my childhood, but I do remember moving from primary school to middle school, which also meant me leaving Hannah. I did make new friends, but I don't think I felt comfortable without her. I can remember one teacher than was a constant support for me there, always making me laugh and making sure I was okay, and I thank him for that. He was the face I needed to see every morning. I remember telling Hannah that we had got into the same secondary school, she screamed down the phone. This is where I began to learn to play the clarinet, I am still with the same teacher now, about to take my grade 7 exam.

Secondary school was the beginning of hell. Year 7 was great. Though by the end of the year we were two schools combined. Everything changed at this point. New teachers, new buildings, new everything. It destroyed the whole atmosphere of the previous school. (this is the school I was talking about in my post 'Dear My Secondary School') Everyone was annoyed at the merge of the two schools, and no one could believe they went ahead with the decision, after students and teachers made their opinions known. From that point, all they focused on was image. I know a lot of students say this but this is actually true. My school 'didn't care' about the education. Not the high up staff anyway. One teacher would confiscate phones merely for having them in your hand. not using them, just putting it away or holding it. Another would make you have your tie a certain length, theres many more cases, some of which I can't remember. It eased off when I met the best form tutor ever, I'm not going to mention her name because of protection and stuff, and she didnt like being on the internet, so I'm respecting that. She supported me in the best way anyone ever had. She was a maths teacher, and helped me when I found it hard, especially in years 10 and 11 when it really mattered. Throughout my time there I was messed around so much, and it hindered me in my exams. I revised all I could, I used all the materials I had, all the resources I could find, and still, because I hadnt been taught things, I couldnt do the simpler things like mental division. I am so bad at maths, and I'm so glad I dont really need it now.

I did well in my GCSEs, all things considered, and moved to my sixth form college, King Edward VI Nuneaton, and I have not enjoyed studying as much as I do now. I have the support I need, the teachers that will help me in any way possible, and the friends I know love me.
I do hope to go to university one day, as I said in my YouTube video on Monday, but I don't think I would have been able to make that choice without the support of the people at KEGS (fondly named after being a grammar school before a sixth form college).

In a way, I'm thankful for the failure the school made, and how the experiences I had there shaped me as a person. Though some things I have left out, because I know that I don't want to write about the bad times in my life, I found it hard to skip them, but I felt like I couldn't immortalise them on this blog when this is an escape for me to get away from those.

All my love, Em xxx

Dear Readers.

This is something Kat did not long ago, and it got me thinking about how much I appreciate you all.

You all mean something to me, and I know theres not many of you, but you really do mean everything to me. Without you I would have stopped my blog a long time ago, I would never have got as far into this as I have, and I thought I would let you know.

This blog means everything to me, and you do too. I want you to know that I am here, I'm always here if you need me, whenever, no matter what time of day I will reply when I get your message. I always reply to comments, though some I cannot reply to, I do always try to. I love how you interact with my posts and have found me on social media! I want to keep doing this, to keep it growing and building in audience, I'm nearly at 1,000 all time page views, which I never thought I'd reach!

So thank you for your support, your love and thank you for reading my little rambles and the things going on in my head. It seriously means so much that you take the time to read my blog. I am starting to vlog soon, so I will be posting my vlogs on here, and maybe on my channel, though I do want to start doing a midweek video for you all on a Wednesday in the summer. I've never really told you how much I appreciate you, so I thought I would now, I appreciate you, and you all have a special place in my heart.

Thank you, and much love, Em xxx

Assumptions.

I've been thinking recently about how people assume things. Authors assuming their readers know about the topic, people assuming I don't like something, people assuming I'm in a relationship with my best guy friend.

This stems down from being asked multiple times if my friend is my boyfriend. You might have seen me talking about this on Twitter with him. 

I understand that it's because the 'older generation' couldn't go somewhere with a girl or a guy without it being assumed they're in a relationship. 

So next time I'm asked if Harry is my boyfriend, I'll say yes, for the lols. My new motto, for the lols. 

I just wanted to get that out. Also, Snapchat, can you please make your app available on older generation iPods, I want to be able to send Harry ugly selfies in the morning! 

Lots of love, Em xxx

Schöne Berlin Part 4: Last Day :(

Our alarms didn't go off, we missed breakfast, which I heard was amazing again.
I felt ill all day, because of the food the night before, and not having breakfast, and the German beer knocked me out because I was so tired. We got up, went to the wall museum, which showed you the last remaining piece of the Berlin wall, and then we went back to Alexander Platz, before picking up our luggage from the hotel and going to the airport.

The last day didn't really contain much, but it was a nice day.

We had an hour before we could check in, so we all sat around on the floor talking and a German lady came over offering us drinks she had bought, we said yes, because free drinks.
We checked in and had at least four hours before the flight. So we found a little Irish bar at the end of the airport, and had a coffee, before going to Burger King for dinner. We were then called to the gate and boarded the flight.

We had a turbulent landing which made me terrified, my teacher kept asking me if I was okay when we got off. I got through security, onto the coach, ordered a chinese takeaway and got home at 9pm, and went to bed at about midnight.

Berlin was an amazing experience. and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Schöne Berlin Part 3: Sachenhausen Concentration Camp and Reichstag Building

Reader Discretion Advised (I will mark the end of my experience in the camp with a page break)

On the Saturday, we got up early, had another amazing breakfast and got on a coach to Sachenhausen Concentration Camp.

On arrival, we entered a building full of exhibits which I couldnt bring myself to look at. (I was being photographer, so everything here is accounts from other people, I tuned out and focused on my photography, blocking out the awful things that happened there.) We then walked down an incredibly long driveway, towards the gate to the camp and the beer store. Nigel took us through the gate, where my teacher made a joke to break the tension, and none of us were impressed he stayed quiet after that.
The gate. 'Work Sets You Free'

We went into the last remaining barracks, which had been arson attacked and preserved after. It had been turned into a museum full of things found in the camp, and on the bottom floor was a glass cabinet full of shoes, bits of clothing and bags and other various belongings. There were drawings around the room, and documents too. At the back of the room was a pair of striped pyjamas, clean, but obviously worn.

We left there and went into the prison block, this is where I let my guard down, I wasn't going to take photographs in there, but I did, with my guard down. Towards the back of the prison block, there were memorials in the cells, including one to the British victims. My friend who was walking with me just simply said 'rest in peace' and I nearly cried. I had to step back and take deep breaths before moving on. Before we had entered the building Nigel said to us 'When you leave the building, there is something some of you might not want to see, Turn right if you don't want to see it, turn left if you do.' When I left the building I turned left, to see three hanging posts. I was horrified.

We headed through the camp, all the old barracks were destroyed, but there was metal outlines where they used to be, each engraved with the number of the barracks. I found this hard too, as it was almost desolate. Now I can't remember whether we went into the kitchens next, but I will tell you about them anyway, we went into the basement, and found paintings made of fats from the foods, though we can't understand why they were there. There was one particular painting that fascinated me, and I never took a photo of it. It was of a lake, or a sea, with an island, and the little details included boats, birds, clouds and waves, showing how much they dreamed of freedom.
The memorial.

When we left there, we went into a memorial, there wasn't much information surrounding it, though it was heartbreaking to look at.

We then went to the hospital wing and mortuary. I was brave and went in the mortuary, and into the basement. It was cold and echoed. You can probably guess what was in there. The hospital wing was just an exhibit, explaining what it was used for. I didn't really read any of this, by this point I wanted to get out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We headed out to McDonalds for lunch (Or McTransfat as my teacher called it) and had lunch before going to a museum. We were flagging again by this point, everyones feet were hurting and everyone was tired and stroppy, though they dragged us round the museum for an hour and a half before going back to the hotel for dinner.

After dinner (which was the worst one by far, it made me feel ill) we went to the Reichstag building. (Ill keep this short, theres not much to talk about anyway) which is basically a parliament building which you are allowed to go into, through security and everything. We went up the dome, and then back down, I took some photos, none of them were good.

The paths in the Reichstag Dome.
After this we walked past the Brandenburg Gate again, and then past the Jewish Memorial, the block one? We went in and it was so disorientating. The blocks varied a lot, though the floor was dipping and dropping, it was dark, which meant people could easily scare you at one end of the row.

We went back to Potsdamer Platz so my teacher could have another slice of cheesecake, and I went into a different bar and had a typical German drink, which I don't know the name of. It had raspberry syrup in and we had an ice cream sundae too. We went back to the hotel and stayed up again over the changing of the clocks, and went to bed at about 2am.

My Favourite YouTubers.

Hello! Happy Saturday once again!
I am writing posts in bulk while revising for my exams so I have a post for you each weekend, that may be all you get during the exam season, but I know me and Kat have some serious fun stuff planned for you all during the May holiday we have.
We are also taking part in the RSPCA event the Big Walkies, (hopefully) and I will be vlogging the event as we go along.
But I'll tell you more about that another time because I want to do a top ten list of my favourite YouTubers.

TEN:
Caspar Lee - Caspar (previously DiCasp)

This adorable South African caught my heart the moment I saw his channel. He's so lovely, and funny and he just makes me laugh all the time.
Caspar is 21, and now lives in London, though he is still known as a South African vlogger. He is also an actor, having worked on an African movie called Spud 3 with Troye Sivan. He has over 4 Million subscribers on his main channel and 1 Million on his second channel, morecaspar.
He has starred as a seagull in the new Spongebob movie, A Sponge Out Of Water, and I can say it is the most fun movie i've watched in a long time. I do love Caspar, and I believe this is one of his funniest videos. (Video - My Morning Routine)

NINE:
Marcus Butler - MarcusButlerTV

Marcus Butler was one of my first YouTuber subscriptions. I was hooked on him from the start, as I genuinely find him hilarious. He currently lives in London with his girlfriend and fellow YouTuber, Niomi Smart. Marcus is 23 years old, and from Brighton.
He has over 3.4 Million subscribers on his main channel, and 1.3 Million on his second channel, moremarcus (are you noticing a pattern here?)
Marcus is a classic vlogger who everyone knows, and he has been a constant vlogger in my life. (Video - How Well Do We Know Eachother)



EIGHT:
Louise Pentland - Sprinkle Of Glitter

Louise, what can I say about this beautiful woman. She is a queen and I love her so much. Her blog was one of the reasons I decided to start this one, so she is a big inspiration to me. She is 29 years old, and studied at a University in Liverpool, something which many YouTubers don't do. Her channel focuses on beauty and fashion, and skin care and baby! Her beautiful daughter Darcy is featured in her vlogs on her second channel, Sprinkle of Chatter, and she is amazing.
Her main channel has 2 Million subscribers and her second channel has 900K subscribers.
Her blog URL will be in my links below. (Video - Valentines Lush Haul!)

SEVEN:
Tyler Oakley - tyleroakley

Tyler was also one of the first channels I subscribed to. He is like the gay best friend you never had. He is a 26 year old from Michigan, who makes 'Q and Slay' videos, as well as the annual Chicken Nugget Challenge with his college friend Korey Kuhl. He has a podcast, Pschobabble, which Korey presents too. He has done a lot of charity work for the Trevor Project, raising loads of money for the cause.
His channel currently has 6.8 Million subscribers and his second channel extratyler has 600K subscribers.
I will always have a special place for Tyler in my heart. (Video - Final Chicken Nugget Challenge)

SIX:
Phil Lester - AmazingPhil.

The cute little puppy that is Phil Lester. A typical 28 year old geek. He is a huge fan of video games and Japan, including Anime. He is half of the dynamic duo that is Dan and Phil, and they do share a flat.
Phil was also one of the original YouTubers I subscribed too, and has always been a little cutie, I hope he never changes.
Phils main channel has currently got over 2 Million subs, his second channel, LessAmazingPhil, has over half a Million subs.
He also has a gaming channel with Dan, which hit 1 Million subs on March 8th 2015. (Video - Sleepless Night With Phil)


FIVE:
Dan Howell - danisnotonfire

Daniel Howell. My first YouTuber crush. I'm not kidding, I love him, I fancied him. The 23 year old is just a geeky as Phil, and even more awkward. I don't know what drew me to Dan. I think it was his dry sense of humour, though it could have been his hair.
Him and Phil had a BBC Radio show from January 2013 to August 2014, before BBC Radio 1 opened the slot to other YouTubers.
Dans main channel has over 4.5 Million subs, and his second channel, danisnotinteresting, is hardly used, (was mainly used for bloopers and little short videos). Dan and Phil regularly collaborate in videos known as philisnotonfire or AmazingDan. (Video - Dan Reacts to Old Videos)

FOUR:
Sacconejolys - LeFloofTV

Jonathan, Anna, Emilia and Eduardo Sacconejoly are and Irish daily vlogging family. Jonathan started the channel in 2009 doing short daily vlogs of him and his girlfriend Anna. They got married, vlogged it, had Emilia, and vlogged her birth, and that of her brother, Eduardo. They have six Maltese dogs, Albi, Sina, Theo, Bianca, Nivea and Nuvola (Nuvees). They currently have 900k subs. Jonathan and Anna also have their own channels, Jonathan Joly and Anna Saccone. (A double barrelled surname because Jonathan wanted to keep Anna's surname. SacconeJoly sounded better than JolySaccone.)
A must subscribe, I love these and feel a connection to their lovely little family. (Video - EVERYTHING CHANGED.. AGAIN!)

THREE:
Alfie Deyes - PointlessBlog

Alfie has had a massive year, with the release of two books, and Amity Fest, he has really taken off with his daily vlogging and main channel videos. The 21 year old from Brighton has nearly 4 Million subs on his main channel, as well as 2 Million on his second channel, PointlessBlogTV. He also has a gaming channel where he collabs with other gamers such as MyNameIsChai and Joey Graceffa. Alfie still currently lives in Brighton with his girlfriend and pug, Nala.

TWO:
Zoe Sugg - Zoella (previously zoella280390)

This was a hard choice between Zoe and the next vlogger. Zoe Sugg is a 25 year old typical girl. She loves all things fashion and beauty and regularly does videos on tips for makeup and fashion and lifestyle. She was my other blog inspiration and I love her very much. She is from Wiltshire, though she now lives in Brighton with her boyfriend, and pug Nala. Yes. If you didnt guess she is Alfie's girlfriend. She has a book called Girl Online, and I love it. She has over 7 million subs and her second channel, morezoella, has over 3 million.

ONE:
Joe Sugg - ThatcherJoe
Joseph Sugg is without a doubt my favourite YouTuber. I adore him. He makes me laugh all the time, and his relationship with Zoe makes my heart melt. The younger of the two Suggs at 23, he lives in London, flat sharing with Caspar. He is well known for his impressions, and constantly claims to not be a 'daily vlogger' even though he vlogs most of his life. He recently hit 4 Million subs on his main channel, ThatcherJoeVlogs has 1 Million subs. He has hold of my heart, quite literally, and I will continue to be a Sugglet for the rest of my days.

Well I hope that I showed you another side of  me and the people I am interested in online. Do let me know if i should do more top ten posts!

Lots of love, Em xxx
