Latest craft project finished!
Just wanted to share with you all my latest craft project that I have just literally finished in the last half hour.These are little things to hang on a Christmas tree.I saw natneagle from youtube fame! posted on twitter that she wanted some things to hang on a small girly tree she has in her house,so I offered to make these for her.She has been very kind about them and hopefully she likes the latest two that I made that she had not seen(Have just posted them on twitter for her to see!) I have really enjoyed doing a project for someone on a certain theme and would love to do something like this again.Have a look and let me know your views on them,you can be as honest as you like!

Get to know ME answers!
Here are the answers to the questions I received in my "want to know more about me?" video on my youtube channel.I didn't get many questions really : ( but I still got some good ones and I thank you all for asking them.If you are reading this and didn't leave me any questions but would like to ask some,please leave me a comment at the end of this post.I will then post the answers in the same way as I have done in this post.Here goes with the answers then and I hope you enjoy reading my answers!
myqroom asked: How did you get into crafts and at what age?
Well, I think I started getting into main crafts about 8 or 9 years old.I started off doing simple knitting (Ordinary knitting and french knitting with the little wooden doll thing with metal pins on the top!)and cross stitching.Cross stitching was the main thing I enjoyed then and in my early teens and still in fact do enjoy it still now but go through phases of it now! I started to do cardmaking in the last 3 years or so having seen inspiration on TV etc... and decided it would be something I would enjoy so decided to have a go.
doodleschucky asked: If you work,what job do you do?
Yes I do work and I work in retail.That's as much as I am revealing,I am not telling you the name of where I work i'm afraid! I have good and bad days with the job but have managed to stay there for 10 years so there must be something about it!
Do you own any animals?
Yes,we own a male tabby white cat called Lucky (He is gorgeous,meet him in my youtube video!) Also we have a goldfish called Stan (Strange name you might say,he is named after Stan Butler from the old sitcom On the Buses! We originally had two fish,Arthur and Olive named from the same program! Sadly Arthur passed away so we then got Stan,Olive also passed away so we now just have Stan)
How did you start with craft?
Same answer as above really.When I was younger,did lots with a friend who taught me things as she was very crafty with knitting etc.Also learnt and became interested through family and other inspiration like demonstrations on things like shopping channel craft programmes(These can be a good inspiration,you don't have to buy anything,just watch and you see lots of live demos and sample cards to give you ideas!)
Do you do anyone else's nails?
No,I just do my own.I can't wear nail polish for work so don't even wear it that often,mainly just at the weekends and sometimes not every week either.Nail art is something I don't do always either so I am not that professional to do other peoples nails,yes I give advice in my tutorials but I wouldn't say i'm an expert!
TealxTiger asked : How do you store your makeup?
I have recently organised my makeup into a much neater system so I can answer this better.Otherwise I would have said thrown into various places! The majority of my makeup is kept in the bathroom and that has always been the case.I don't use a special makeup mirror,just the bathroom cabinet! So I store everything mainly in there so it's easy to get to.I have a little vanity case in the window that has the everyday essentials like tinted moisturiser,concealer and powder and afew bits and pieces that are basics like a black eyeliner.Then most of it is kept in a drawer in one of those plastic drawer units on wheels (I will show this in a video soon) In the drawer I now have everything stored in groups in various containers or stacked etc... palettes together,eyeliners,face items like blushers,highlighters etc...I would urge anyone to get more organised with your collection,it is so much better when you do have it all organised.I definitely won't be going back to the throw it all in method!
What is your favourite thing to shop for?
I like all sorts of shopping really,be it grocery shopping or general shopping.I love buying things full stop.I have calmed down alittle now I am getting near to 30.In my teenage years and early 20's I would buy everything I liked,every pair of shoes and every item of clothing.I was good that it was never really expensive things but it is just a hassle when you are forever having to get rid of bags and bags of things.Now I stop and think more if the item is something I will use,what will it go with? and try now to build more of a capsule wardrobe with basics and get a few bits and pieces now and again that maybe won't be something for everyday wear.
What 3 makeup items would you hate to be without?
I would say lipstick would be the top one I would hate to be without.I very very rarely ever leave the house without makeup and even if I don't do all my makeup I always have to put on some lippy! And when I say lipstick,I mean lipstick,not gloss.I like gloss but prefer lipstick.Number 2 would be either my tinted moisturiser or translucent powder as I do like something on my skin,even though I can never get flawless skin.And 3 would be (this is difficult) but probably blush to give my face some colour so I don't look too pale.I do love doing eye makeup the most of all though but it does come last too the others if i could only have 3 items.
What crafting methods haven't you tried yet but would like too?
I honestly can't think of anything! But I have recently just got a book on beadwork which works in the same way as cross stitch really that you use half stitches to attach small beads and make the picture with those.I am really enjoying that,so that's my new thing!
When is your birthday?
February 22nd
What's in your bag?
The typical items that all women carry.Too much junk my husband would say! purse,keys,mobile,work keys,hand sanitiser,mirror,mints,tissues,one of those small foldaway shopping bags and often too many lipsticks,normally around 5! I never remember to take the others I am not using out.
What skincare products do you use?
Most importantly I always remove my makeup at night.I am at the minute using LUSH babyface cleanser and Eau Roma/Tea Tree toner water after.I must admit though that I have never been someone who took much care of her skin in the past.I am trying to though now more as it is important.Everyone say how young I look so I must be o.k but it might catch up on me one day if I don't look after it!

Nat's natter 2!
Time for another nattering session I think! To start with I went and brought something from the Wet n Wild line that I mentioned to you all in the last natter.I got one of the four stripes Bronzers.This is called Mega Glo illuminating Bronzing powder in Starlight Bronze.It was the only Bronzer shade they had in the selection in my Tesco but you may find more in your branch but saying that my Tesco is a very large store so this selection may be it.I am new really to Bronzers, I do have a FCUK one but I only use it occasionally.I also don't use them in the proper way really,I use them mostly just the same as a blusher.I tend to be wary of them as I don't want too much of an orange look! I am pale skinned and use tinted moisturiser and translucent powder and although they are not too bad it still does give a certain amount of colour so I think it may be alittle too "caked" for me with Bronzer all over.I like this one and the FCUK one but I do find them both a touch too shimmery and I would prefer a more matte version.This Wet n Wild one has four different shades that go up in intensity,they are nice separately but I think it's a better effect swirling the brush around them all and using that way.I may do a video or post some swatches to show you all.
Carrying on with the beauty theme I have used the nails inc nail polish in Victoria that I got free with Glamour magazine.I have come to the conclusion that I prefer it for my toes.It tends to look alittle too patchy even with two coats and also with a top coat it chipped straight away!Therefore I will not be purchasing duplicate copies of Glamour for more as I don't think it's worth getting more,for the money you are saving compared to buying it from nails inc it's worth it but for the quality I don't feel it is.I could just as easily go and purchase a £1 something polish to get the same results.It just goes to show that sometimes higher price tags and brand names don't always equal quality! (This is just my opinion,some of you may find nails inc polishes wonderful for you and that's great but with my experience with this one and another I have i'm afraid I don't)
I have been getting into watching Blog tv over the past few days,saying that I have only watched one person,juicytuesday.I love her youtube channel so decided to check out her blog tv shows and really enjoy them.I don't think I would be brave enough to do a blog tv show,I don't think many people would want to talk to little old me anyway.Also I would have to get the webcam sorted with sound! I don't have sound sorted as I just use it mainly for photos of things where I need to show the colours better of things as the digital camera I use for videos doesn't do close up shots very well! I am trying to incorporate it into eyeshadow tutorials too because of the fact that the digital camera just doesn't cut it in terms of close up focusing and shadow colours.Lighting is also terrible even with the webcam as the days are so dull at the moment that the natural light is not enough and with lamps etc it is too much.The digital camera I use is not a cheapy either but it just doesn't seem to be suitable for the tutorials,oh well I am sticking with it anyway! Also I am trying to work a setup that allows me to do my eyeshadow tutorials hands free,not trying to wrestle with the camera in one hand brush in the other etc... so I have been playing with various things on the computer desk stacked up etc.. to try and get the camera close up to my eye and still show the detail and leave me with my hands free to actually do the thing! It has been fun and games,I am getting closer to coming up with a soloution but not quite there yet.If not the many other great gurus that do tutorials will have to struggle on with out my contributions ( I think they will manage somehow!)
Talking of tutorials I must get the crafting ones done.I am thinking about doing a baby girl card as my most watched video is a baby boy card tutorial at 850ish views so hopefully it will go down well.Also I may do a Christmas tree decoration.I made one to send to natneagle (Absolutely fantastic guru that you have to subscribe to,first person I really watched on youtube) so I may show you how to make those soon.Need to get back into my crafting full stop.I am working on a project at the minute involving bead work.I got a book on it and had some seed beads in my craft/sewing collection so have started to get into that so that's my new thing at the moment.I tend to have phases where I do alot of one particular thing then move onto the next.Some months it's cross stitch then knitting babies booties and then the next month it may be making lots of cards up.I have some cards all ready to go,packaged,priced etc..as I want to start to try and sell them more,hopefully some on here too (let me know if you are interested,I welcome all orders lol !)
Trying to think of blog ideas too,so anything you would like to see please let me know.I will have the answers from my "Get to know me" video on here in the next few days,there is not too many questions but still some good ones in there.Also nail polish of the month and probably another in's and out's list and of course more general good old nattering!!!!

Wet n Wild !
Just wanted to let you all know something that I was going to mention in my last "nattering" post but forgot! Now this may be common knowledge to lots of you but I will tell you all just incase you have not heard and have not looked on the Wet n Wild's website in awhile. The U.S makeup brand Wet n Wild have now started to stock a limited amount of it's range in Tesco stores.If it is available in every store I do not know,but I looked in my large Tesco store (not small stores such as Express) and they had it.When I say a limited amount of the range there is still a good selection such as Blushes,Bronzer,Lipstick and Foundation to name afew.Saying that though there is not alot of colour selection but you should be able to find at least one thing you fancy to try the brand out.I however did not have time to really study it all when I nipped in but do plan to purchase something soon.I fancy getting one of the four stripe Bronzers or Blushes,example below!
To make this news extra exciting each item from what I saw is only £1.87 each so a bargain! You may have to look a little for the brand as it did not have it's own designated stand but was next to all the stands in my store.The range was hanging on hooks underneath some other bits and pieces,so at first I thought they were not stocking it as I did not see the big stand,so seek and you shall find (Hopefuly!)

Nat's natter !
Well this post is all about the title,nattering! I was thinking what shall I blog about,I'm stuck? Then it struck me,why don't I blog about what blogging is all about,talking about myself and whats going on in my world! Simple,why didn't I think of it sooner (I say in a sarcastic tone!) So that is what I will start doing now in form of "nattering" posts.Random posts of what I have been doing,plan to do,want to do etc...(You get the picture!) Some may think it is mundane as once I start typing I type and type and type!!!! Anyway I am going to do it,sometimes it may be boring to some of you but if I really do have nothing to say then I won't say it,don't worry.I won't go too in depth into my life here so there won't be any juicy tid bits of information/gossip I'm afraid : )
Here goes: I'm relaxing at the moment after a long day of cleaning.My husband does do his fair share of cleaning too when required but I would rather do the lions share of it as he does do more hours of work than myself.I wouldn't be a very nice wife if I expected him to do cleaning after a 10/11 hour shift! I do like cleaning and hate living untidely but I would admit I could do more,but how much more is more? I can once I start though find jobs to do and will clean for hours and hours and you have to drag me away(That is when you start to think am I becoming abit obsessive!) Putting laundry away and ironing come under the worst jobs I hate.I used to love ironing and would iron everything from socks and boxer shorts to handkerchiefs lol !
If anyone follows me on Twitter or Youtube will know that both of us have been off work (Hubby went back Mon,I'm going back tomorrow) and we went to a trip to Oxford and Bicester village.I was so surprised to receive a tweet from Bicester village! I never thought about them having a twitter page even,it was a really nice surprise.We enjoyed our'e trip on the whole but found Oxford alittle different from what we expected.From pictures and Inspector Morse episodes we expected the whole town to have the "Dreaming Spires" around every corner.There was some lovely architecture that is not standard by any means but just not as much as I thought.Also the whole town centre was full of bicycles! Either along the street locked up or people riding them.I think that is a tradition there that will never die,also very environmentally friendly! One of my purchases I made at Bicester was a Mac eyeshadow suite consisting of two shades.I cannot tell you each name as it didn't say,it only had one name "Counterparts".It has a shimmery green and shimmery sort of peachy/gold colour.I was excited to try them but on doing so I am quite disappointed.The colours seem to look very lifeless and wash me out almost.I have never thought of a shade really doing that but this seems to succeed.I think I will have to work with them and experiment with different bases to do something with them.
I am thinking at the moment of new videos to come up with.I think I will start doing a series on bargain buys.It may be monthly but the trouble with monthly is that you have to keep them up! I will include the best bargains I have brought and those items won't have already been showed in hauls.I am always getting so many comments about my bargain shopping so I thought it would be a good idea.Also more craft tutorials as I have been slipping with those lately.And the one I have been asked about and keep promising is a makeup collection one so that is definitely on the list.I have posted a video asking people to ask me questions but no-one seems to be doing so at the minute and I think I only have about 4 questions! Come on everyone ask away : )
Sorted out home/contents insurance renewal yesterday too.Normally we go with the same company and have done for years but decided this year to shop around.We looked on Go Compare (Love there adverts!) and found one and saved nearly £100 so would highly recommend it and will definitely use it again in the future for all insurances.
Oh before I forget to mention this,I brought Glamour magazine this issue as got a free Nails inc nail polish in the shade "victoria".It is an absolutely gorgeous rich and very dark cherry red.You do need two coats and definitely a base as when I tried it quickly on one finger and wiped it straight off it stained.It can go alittle streaky too but all in all great.They normally retail around £10.50 so get it with Glamour for £2! They are giving a choice of 4 colours too so may get another.
I may leave this post here and see if I get any positive comments about doing these kind as for some of you it may be abit long and not that informative.Anyway let me know either way if possible,I would really appreciate it.
Take care everyone,Natalie x

Octobers Nail polish of the month (alittle late ! )
Sorry,I'm alittle late with my nail polish of the month series,this is Octobers ! The one I have been wearing the most has been Eyeko Pastel polish.It is a gorgeous Blue/Turquoise colour that is in the same colour family as some of the more expensive brands popular polishes that have been well talked about in the summer months on youtube. ("For Audrey" "Peppermint patty" that sort of thing )This polish is nowhere near those brands prices and will set you back a mere £1.99 in branches of Superdrug that stock the Eyeko range.If you cannot find the range in store you can order from the website www.eyeko.com there though you will have to pay £3 for the polish but that does include free shipping to wherever you are,be it in U.K or international.With the online order (Where I got mine,as I didn't know at the time you could get it in Superdrug!) you do receive some facial wipes that are individually wrapped,I got four with my order.Also if you spend £10 online you can enter a code which are easily found through gurus on youtube who are "ambassadors" for Eyeko (more info on that on the website) On entering the code you will be sent a free gift,usually a full size lip/cheek stick called a "Fat Balm" but don't quote me on it!
I have included a picture below of the polish on but it is a bit difficult to see exactly as I took the picture this afternoon and it was starting to get dark slightly.Hopefully you can still see.I show the polish in a couple of my youtube videos too and I did a Tiffanys inspired look with this as it is a good match for there box colour !
Here is another picture of the bottle closer up as it is in a really cute bottle and quite different from any other packaging.It may look small too and in fact it is slightly smaller than the average polish as it is 10ml but still enough!
What colour will my nails want to wear to show you next I wonder.....? Find out later this month !
