Let's Detox!

So... ever since I got home from Greece i've had a hard time getting back into the workout/healthy eating groove. Thank God I haven't gained any weight, but I just feel more tired, less energetic and overall less healthy! So, when @candacecbure tweeted that she was going to do a 3 day detox, I automatically wanted to do it as well. My goal is not to lose weight, I just want to detox my body, clean it out and feel better... So here's my plan!

As Candace said on her twitter, this is the basic idea:
"Detox= no sugar, caffeine, white flour, or junk! Just veggies, fruit & lean grilled protein. But mostly veggies- 3 days & will feel great."

So, for 3 days starting Monday September 6th I am doing just that.

-No Sugar
-No Caffeine
-No White Flour
-No Soda
-No JUNK!

-Lots of vegetables from the garden
-Lots of fruit
-ONLY Water
-Grilled meat/protein

So who's doing it with me?

Follow me on my twitter to see how i'm doing and to let me know how you're doing!

I'm excited :D

It's like this.

Taken from a tumblr :)


You have to have the nicest jeans, or the cutest purse, or say the newest thing so that it catches on. You have to be skinny, you have to buy this, wear this, say that, be on his side, her side, be neutral, have white teeth, have straight teeth, your hair can't be frizzy, and you can't wear that because it just doesn't 'work' anymore. You have to go to parties, be friends with everyone, trust no one, post like this, smile like that, tilt your head this way, and put your hand on your hip because that's how it is. And let me just say, f__k all of that.

Products I regret buying controversey

So.. MANY people seem "disturbed" at the fact that many of the products I mentioned in my video I said I don't really use. SINCE WHEN can I not regret purchasing something I don't use? Doesn't that seem logical? To regret something you don't use... I don't know, just throwing it out there. The amount of comments I got about "not using" the products is astounding! I had NO CLUE that there was a rule book for these types of videos and if I didn't follow it to a T, i'd be scolded.

"As mentioned in annotations, in the video itself and on Twitter if you followed me: I HAVE USED THE PRODUCTS. I have used them a few times when I got them, didn't care for them and haven't really used them again. Hence why I regret BUYING THEM . I have used these products. There is no rule book set in stone for what I am "allowed" to regret buying. Sorry if this is rude, but the amount of these comments I got was extremely annoying because people didn't understand. "

I wrote a "standard" reply for these comments. If you think it's rude, i'm sorry. But people are being very close minded and not really getting WHY I regretted purchasing those items. For the record, everything (except Marine Life) I have tried. I did not care for it. I rarely use it... SO I REGRET BUYING IT. I don't get why it's hard for people to understand haha

Products I need to get before my trip!

Long time... No blog. I know I say that every time I post! But I figure, I need to remember to buy some things before I leave (on July 29th, 37 days!!!). This will probably help me more than it will ever interest you. Hopefully you get something out of it :)

1. MAC's Fix +
One of my ALL TIME must have products. Many people think it's just water, but I use it multiple times a day! Right after my makeup is done I spritz it on then use my SS187 to swirl and stipple it into my skin. I swear it gives your skin such a nice, pretty, healthy dewy look that I adore! I also use it throughout the day if I feel a little gross or just want a little pick me up. My beloved bottle is on it's last leg and has only a couple of spritzs left... So I definitely need to pick up another bottle for my Grecian holiday :)

2. Benefit You Rebel Lite
I know, I know! I have come so close to ordering this multiple times.. I have no clue why I never take the plunge. Even though I love my MAC Face & Body foundation, it is hot as ___ down in Greece and I do not want heavy foundation! I usually mix my foundation w/ my moisturizer, but I just want something I can throw on and then use a dusting of MSFN (Medium + in the summer) for a setting powder!

3. NARS blush in "Taj Majal"
I know this blush looks crazy, but i've been convince to purchase it because of Michele1218 who claims with a light hand this is an amazing summer blush! I am coral crazy, so I feel compelled to purchase this before I depart haha

4. NARS lipgloss in "Greek Holiday"
... I think the name says it all.

5. Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Once again a re-purchase! My little tube that protects me from the dreaded creases and clumps is almost done! And again, with the heat and without primer my shadow will fallllll off my lids!

6. Sunscreen for my face!
Even though I never burn *knock on wood* in Greece, I did have quite the sun burn this past week because of Canadian sun! So I now know I need sunscreen for my face... my body is covered!

7. NARS Lipstick in "Roman Holiday"
A gorgeous hot-pinkish lip color and a fabulous name... What more could I want? I think hot pinks look amazing with tans, and this seems perfect! Can't wait to swatch it :)

... that's all I can think of for now! But i'll be updating this list for sure :)

Let's get started :)


This is a Lancome eye shadow in the color "kitten heel". This is a gorgeous pink color, very similar to MAC's All That Glitters.
My Price = 11.00
Benefit's F.Y.Eye primer. Bought it and it has never worked for me. I have used it maximum 3 times. It is still very new. This is a discontinued product by Benefit. I guarantee it is sanitary.
My Price: $20

This is a really great palette by Lancome. It's a Color Design Eye & Face Palette in "La Nuit Seduction". I used this is my holiday makeup look so you could re-create it if you buy it! It has a 6 eye shadows (great neutral colors) and one gorgeous plummy blush.
My Price: $20.00

This is a really interesting product. It's by Lancome and called Le Kohl Gloss. Mine is the forest green one and if you love Green, you would love this. It's a super pretty wash of Green for your eyes and would make a great, Green base. Not for me.
My Price: $10.00
http://www.lancome.co.uk/_en/_gb/catalog/product.aspx?prdcode=282019&categorycode=AXEMakeup^F1_Eyes^F2_Eye_Liners^F3_Eye_Lin_Pencils&vname=PRD_Name&&

*SOLD*
This is a GORGEOUS Lancome Face Powder. I love the colors but I NEVER use it. It's the Lancome Pop N' Cheeks in 01 Coral Flirt. It's a super pretty sheer pinky-peach-coraly color! The original gold over spray is now gone, but it is still super pretty. I have never used this on my cheeks, so it's basically brand new.
My Price: $20.00



This is one of the two quads released with the MAC Fafi Collection. I got this for Christmas one year and have never used it! The colors aren't me, but they might be you! This is the MAC Fafi Eyes 2 and is selling for over $50 on eBay.
My price is $25!

Happy Shopping!!!

How I'm Getting in Shape and Gaining Confidence


Many of you girls and guys saw my Twitpic that I uploaded today. I decided to do this so you guys could get to know me and see that I have been dealing with my weight forever. The pictures are obviously very different (I hope, haha) and the one on the left was taken during the summer of 2008 in Greece. The one on the right was taken yesterday, on May 9th.

I was always a little heavier than I should be. Never MASSIVE but just always a little bigger. I pretended that it didn't bother me but it ALWAYS has. I have never been comfortable in my own skin, and i've always tried to hide my body with sweaters (ask ANYONE who knows me well IRL). I started seeing a Nutritionist when I was around 11 and I saw her until I was around 12. I learnt a lot, but I always thought i'd be bigger than everyone else. I felt hopeless. This is why I am still a little shocked at how I put myself on YouTube: The place for anonymous cowards who like to hate on people. At first I got no hate on my weight, everyone was really nice. But looking back at my old videos where my arms were huge and my double chins were massive, I wonder how I ever posted them. When I started getting "bigger" the haters started arriving and they attacked me about my weight. As much as I would like to say that they had nothing to do with my dedication to weight loss, I can't. I did this mostly for me, but part of me wanted to lose weight so the haters wouldn't have THAT (AKA my body) to use against me. I thank them. They gave me the push I needed to get in shape. So I did, and I couldn't be happier.

Looking back at pictures during my heaviest days definetely provide my with the inspiration I need to know that I never want to look like that again. So Tip #1 is to find pictures of yourself that make you disgusted at yourself. It sounds harsh, but it's the truth. After you find those pictures, think of what you want. I never want to be skins and bones. I get most of my features from my Greek side. I have hips, I always will! So embrace them! I just want to be happy with my body and that is my number one goal.

Now that you got the whole mental thing down, you actually have to work on it. When I started my working out in January (I remember because it was the first day I had Strep throat that I decided this) I only did Cardio. I walked on the highest incline (incline = God) I could on my Treadmill at a fast walking pace for just 20 minutes. I did this 5/7 days. Not having a treadmill is not an excuse. You must have a street near you. A hill? Stairs? A backyard? Use it! I also do 60 crunches a night, and some reverse crunches!

Once I was comfortable with cardio, I added weights to my work out. I went to Canadian Tire and bought two 4LB weights. Not much, but trust me. They work! So I started doing arm lifts and Bicep curls! Add this all together and it takes me 30, MAX 35 minutes a night. You can fit it in if you want too.

As for my diet, I really don't deprive myself of anything. Moderation is the KEY. If I want pizza, i'll get some. But I won't have a whole small (yes. a whole small) like I used too. I'll have 2 slices. Some cheesy bread? Fine. But only 1 piece! Ice Cream.. One scoop! All in moderation! I cut out most of my unhealthy snacks (like those carb-y snacks) and substitued them for healthy snacks like apples, strawberries, wheat thins, Greek Yogurt (flavored ones are AMAZING!!), ect.

I can honestly tell you that losing weight and getting healthy will make you feel so much better about yourself. As the pounds come off, my shyness does also. I'm less shy because I feel like my weight won't be such a focus now! It's a really good feeling, I know it's stupid but it's how I feel :)

So that's it-- cutting out the bad foods, drinking more water and working out often really makes a difference! If you have any questions, please let me know! Hopefully I help some people!

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments. They really are amazing and so kind. I don't know what I would do w/o you girls and guys! I love you!!!

Hi, My name is Allie. And i'm a LUSH addict.

So today after school, I wandered to one of the local malls and into the LUSH store. My sister has become OBSESSED with LUSH and has a huge collection. She literally is OBSESSED. So she stalked the LUSH store until she knew when the Easter collection was coming in and it was coming in Monday. So of course we had to go today. I also wanted to check out the new MAC Liberty of London collection. HUGE disappointment. I didn't buy anything, nothing appealed to me at all.

So this post (i'm getting so good with posting!!) will be a LUSH haul. I bought everything from the LUSH Easter collection, except for the pink eggs. They reeked of 'Snow Fairy' and we all know how I feel about that. But my sister got everything haha, i'll try and convince her to film a video soon!


So this is one of the LUSH Easter classics. A huge egg filled with yummy goodness. The outer shell is a HUGE
bath bomb cut in half and is recomended to use in 4 baths. It retails for $24.50 but in my opinion it's worth it! You get 4 bath bombs in The Honey Bee formulation, 1 full size Ma Bar bubble bar and a little, cute, honeycomb cut out of Honey I Washed the Kids soap. SO CUTE and a great value :) It's called the Happy Easter Gift.


->This next cute item is a bubble bar called theDorothy Bubble Bar, obviously named after The Wizard of Oz and the song "Somewhere over the Rainbow" :) SUPER cute! I love the look of this one. It's a really yummy smelling. LUSH says that "your bath-water will be as blue as the skies over munchkinland and the exotic scent of ylang and sweet figs will make you want to go skipping off to see the wizard. A better day awaits you at the end of our rainbow."





<- This bath bomb is called the Ickle Baby Bot Ballistic. It isn't on the USA or Canadian website, but it is on the UK website. At my LUSH store, it retails for $3.95. It is supposed to help 'little ones' get to sleep, but you can obviously use it at any age. It's a cute little robot, I love it! It smells like "lavender and sandalwood oils' perfect for a nice warm bath!






This need bath bomb is called 'Honey Bun' and it retails for $3.95. I thought it was shaped like a bunny with ears, but
apparently it's in the shape of a traditional Japanese cake. It smells really good, like toffee with sweet orange and bergamot oils to boot! Smells just like caramel!







Possibly my favorite bath bomb. I never usually buy two of something, but this one smelt SO good. It smells of delicious grapefruit and I adore citrus. And it's in the cutest shape of a baby chick! It's called the Hippy Chick bath bomb! BTW, you can also use it as an Emotibomb in the shower too if you're not a bath person! These are $4.95 each.


The other pink egg bath bomb smells like snow fairy, I felt sick just by smelling it. So no thank you, haha!

Are you purchasing anything from the collection? Let me know!

40 Beauty Questions Tag!

I'm really trying to get into writing on this blog, and I think i'm going to try and get into it! I may do more reviews on here now, or write about topics I don't necessarily want to do a whole video on! So today I will be doing the 40 Beauty Questions tag that is floating around the 'interwebz'. Hope you guys like it!


SKINCARE
-
How many times do you wash your face daily?

I try to wash my face twice a day but I usually don't do a full out routine! I wash my face w/ a hot face cloth in the morning just to open all my pores and clean them out, then moisturize. At night time I take off my makeup, cleanse, tone, moisturize and sometimes exfoliate! Clean skin for the win!

What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Combination-Oily/Dry -> depends on the day!

What is your current facial wash?

Philosophy Purity Made Simple, I just ran out :(

Do you exfoliate?
Of course! I think exfoliation is SO important, I try to do it at least every other day. I know people say to do it like twice a week, but my skin can handle it.

What brand do you use?

I use a MAC one that I really like, but also a Clean & Clear one that I got SO long ago!

What moisturizer do you use?
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

Do you have freckles?
Only in the summer when I tan, and I do't get many.

Do you use eye cream?
Nope, but I want too start.

Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
No, thank God. *Knock on Wood*

Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
I never HAD to use it.


MAKE-UP

What foundation do you use?
MAC Face & Body or the Revlon Photoready

How about concealer?
The NARS duo, it's love!

Do you know your undertone color?
I'm definitely in the middle. `

What do you think of fake eyelashes?
Fun to use, but not necessary!

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?

Of course! But I don't.. I'm bad!


What brand of mascara do you use?

Holy Grail mascara, YSL Faux Cils. My YT Bestie xsunshiine bought it for me :)

Sephora or MAC?

MAC hands down!

Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
Nope

What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Fingers and Brushes

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?

Always – either TFSI or a MAC Paint Pot

For the face?
I use the Guerlain Meteorites!

What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I have a ton of favorites. MAC's All That Glitters, Grand Entrance, Shale, Satin Taupe, Vex, Sable, I have a ton!

Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Pencil 90% of the time, gel the other 10%. Liquid is rare because I find it hard to use.


How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?

Hardly Ever! Only when I first started using eyeliner :)

What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I like them, they're fun. But not good for me to use in the mornings when i'm in a rush!

Do you use mineral makeup?

Nope, i've never been a fan!

What is your favorite lipstick?

I have a few. I love all my MAC lipsticks, particularily Angel, Creme d'Nude (just ran out!!), A Rose Romance, Nude Rose, Creme Cup.

How about lipgloss?

MAC's Icescape!

What is your favorite blush to use?
LOVE NARS Orgasm and MAC's Peaches

Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
Sometimes, but not often. I think I bought from eBay like 3 times.

Do you like drugstore makeup?
Sometimes. I'm not a snob. Watch my drugstore haul for the reasons, haha

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)

I wish I could get to them more often!

Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Not really!

Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

Sometimes if i'm not into it!

Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Overplucked brows, Drawn on brows, caked on foundation, too much blush, lipstick on teeth, I COULD GO ON FOREVER!

Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?

Sometimes! Depends on my mood!
Which celebrity always has great make up?
I love Lauren Conrad's makeup, she always looks gorgeous! And the Kardashian sisters makeup, especially Kim's is always beautiful!

If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use? Mascara!

Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
I always need to have a light dusting of powder and mascara at least! Or at least mascara haha

Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I think I look good w/o makeup sometimes.

In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
MAC!

What do you think of Makeup??

I love it- it's a hobby and passion of mine!

My iPhone: A Love Story (My favorite Apps & Accessories!)


As many of you girlies know, I recently got an iPhone which has been the smartest investment I have EVER made, I think. It is my all time favorite phone and I am a total Apple convert now. I went from a PC to a MacBook and a BlackBerry to an iPhone. You know what they say, once you try a Mac or iPhone, it's hard to go back!

I bought the iPhone 3GS in White. For some reason, I found the white one much more 'me' and 'chic-er'. I have no clue why. I feel it makes the phone different and more unique? *Shrugs* Who knows?

So many people have been asking me:
-What case do I have?
-Favorite apps?
-Tips?
-Why I like it so much?

What better way than a post to answer :)

So the case that I have is a case made my Kate Spade! I purchased mine at the Apple store for around $30, I believe. What I love about the case is how thick it is. I dropped my old phone all the time, and since this phone is so delicate, I want to take very good care of it! The plastic is very thick and secure which I really like! It also has a really good grip! I would totally recommend it! I also like that on the inside, it says "Have Courage"

What are my favorite apps you may ask...

NEW FAVORITE APP: Pranksterz
Probably the funniest app you will ever use. Probably my favorite thing to do in my spare time. All you do, is block your number, call a friend or family member and go to this app. There are different voices to do prank calls. I have been doing this all day. I did it to my Dad with my Mom and Mom's best friend and her sons. Needless to say, my dad thought he was being set up and spent an INSANE amount of money to trace the call. PRICELESS.

1) Twitterrific: I am a Twitter addict and I love how easy it is to use. Within 5 minutes of downloading this onto my iPhone, I knew how to work it! I also LOVE snapping TwitPics.. If you follow me on Twitter, you would know this :$

2)Shazam: We've ALL been in this situation. You're listening to this really good song on the radio, but can't figure out what it's called or who sings it. Well know you can with a tap of your finger! Just place your iPhone close to the source of sound and before you know it, you'll have the name, artist and other options! (Free!)

3) The Kim Kardashian Official App: I am a Kim K fiend, I love her! So when she came out with her own app, I needed it! It's really fun, you can ask her questions and she'll answer eventually :)

4) DoodleJump: My favorite iPhone game! SO fun and addicting. At first, it seems stupid. But trust me, you'll become addicted.

5)Smacktalk!: This is the cutest app ever! I love doing it!

These are just some of my favorite apps! If you have iPhone or iPod touch, what are your favorite apps? Let me know!

Disclaimer... to clear the rumors.

Hi All!

I have been getting a ton of questions lately about whether I receive products for free and if I get paid... So this blog post will be all about that!

I am going to be honest:
I have received many products for free. Everything from eyeshadows, blushes, foundations, hair products, skin care products and much more.

BUT on my YouTube page where it says "if you're a company interested in me trying your products......." I also write that I reserve the right to NOT review a product or tell my viewers about the product if I don't like it. The companies know that when they send me the products!

I honestly have not showed you, half of what I have recieved just because I don't like it! I want you to rest assure that I will ALWAYS be honest with you and never steer you in the wrong direction to make a buck or two!

Now for the 'getting paid' issue.... NEVER so far! I have never been offered in my whole YouTube experience to be paid. I truly believe that there are a couple (literally 2) of people who feel the need to be paid... which I find ridiculous. I mean, you're already getting products for free! Why do you need to get paid?

I just wanted to let you guys know my philosophy and clear any questions you had because I have been getting a TON of questions about that lately!

I just want to make it clear that I would never try to sell anybody something I don't like for the benefit of me. We all work hard for our money and shouldn't waste it on junk :)

My Current Wishlist!

Hey Everyone!

I know, I know... I said I would update this thing more often and I still haven't! It's just really hard for me to post because I don't even think people read my blog, haha! Oh well! So people have been asking me to do a blog post on my current wish list items since it is ever growing! So here goes...

Oh-- and everything will be in the order I would like to purchase them in :)

1) Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 30 or 35

*Drooools* I have ALWAYS loved Louis Vuittons ever since I began to appreciate my Mom's (and other family member's) purse collections! I love the shape of the bag and how big it is! Now I know you can buy some REALLY good fakes out there, but I want the real thing! I mean although most people wouldn't know, I would! So my Mom made a deal with me. If I got over 85% overall on my report card for Term 2 (my last average was 76%. ew) my parents would be my dream bag!

I would feel bad though, so I am saving my money to contribute to the hefty almost $800 this baby costs!

2) Canon Vixia HF20

I currently film on my MacBook (Common FAQ!) and now that I have over 5,800 subscribers (OMG!!!!! I just got a message from a sweet girl telling me!) I feel like I should make my videos higher quality for you! I love my MacBook (but it's old, and a hand me down from my sister!) and I love the little remote it comes with, haha! I am telling you that if it doesn't come with it, i'm moving onto one that does! Is that bad?

3) A MacBook Pro
As I said above, I am currently using (& typing on) my white MacBook. It was my sisters but when she graduated from elementary school (as a tradition) she got a new laptop to take with her to high school and do all her assignments, ect on. Because I knew MacBooks are good to film on, she decided to hand it down to me! Although I love this laptop, it's old and nearly 4 years old!

and last but not least...

4) iPhone 3GS

So many of you know I have a BlackBerry pearl and I LOVED it up until the summer time! For some reason it keeps freezing on me CONSTANTLY! I can hardly use anymore which sucks! When I called Rogers to see if I was elegible for an upgrade they said I would be only on September 29th, 2010! I know where i'll be on September 29th!

And that sums it up! I know it's all expensive stuff, but I won't get it all this year! It will be split up, DEFINITELY!

What's on your wish lists?
