Weekly Wishes #7

Monday, 9 February 2015

Eek, I missed a week but I really needed that break!
I would love to know how you guys manage a blog and YouTube channel with content. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.


The Nectar Collective



Last Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Get Snapping - Yup, this was completed and photos have been uploaded to the Facebook page. I think I will also share the photos on here :)

2) Buy car tax - This was bought with minutes to spare. Good think we are no longer required to display them!

3) Film YouTube content - I actually filmed two videos, and uploaded one today! Here is the link

4) Comment on posts and videos more - I commented on a few posts and videos but not as much as I wanted. Though to be honest, I'm finding it difficult to comment on my phone. It's like the iPhone just hates commenting on posts!

5) Purchase my pass for The Photography Show in Birmingham - This hasn't been completed and if I'm honest, I have a feeling I may not be attending.

This Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Edit video's - I actually filmed my January Favourites and I really want to get this up soon before it is too late!

2) Edit photos from recent photo shoot - this is actually my job so I really need to get this sorted!

3) Get commenting - Because I didn't really complete this goal I am carrying it over for this week :)



Only setting myself a few goals this week after a positive week, despite it being a quiet one :)

See you around,

Last Week's Weekly Wishes: 

1) Write out an invoice - This didn't happen, again. BUT, I have been asked to go an take some more photos so I will incorporate the two invoices into one! 

2) Drink more water - This hasn't been easy at all. I really wanted to get a water bottle that I could keep on my desk,  I have yet to buy one. 

3) Write some new blog content - Yes, this has been accomplished. :)

4) Have a bath - Err no, but I have showered haha. Soon I will use up the LUSH products that are accumulating in my room!

This Week's Weekly Wishes: 

1) Get snapping! - I joined a photography group on Facebook and we were set the challenge of taking photos that resemble what home means to us. I need to upload 4 by this week :)

2) Buy car tax - not exactly a fun goal but it needs doing. Can anyone beat £99 for 6 months?!

3) Film YouTube content - Well, I got the posts up on my blog. Lets try my YouTube channel shall we?

4) Comment on posts and videos more - This is something I use to do, a lot. :)

5) Purchase my pass for The Photography Show in Birmingham for March - Let me know if you are going and on what day! Would be lovely to see you guys! :)


See you around,

Blog Love Tuesday #5

Tuesday, 20 January 2015

Good day!

Welcome back, for today is Blog Love Tuesday! 
Each week I will be sharing with you a blog that I am loving and want to share with you.
Feel free to join in, there are no rules and all you have to do is include this badge so others can join in to!
If you are just having a gander on Twitter, use the #bloglovetuesday while chatting :)


This week's blog is...






Some will not be surprised by this choice at all, but Beth is honestly one of my best bloggers that I have had the pleasure of 'meeting' in the blogging community!

In fact, I came across Beth the same time I found Suzy, Caitlin and many others who I chat to regularly. :)

Out of everyone that I have met through blogging, Beth is the only one that I chat with outside the blog world, so far ;)
If I need a rant, she is there. 
If I need any advice on things, you guessed it. She is there!
To be honestly, Beth is a really good friend to me and I wouldn't wish it any other way.

Anyway, enough of me raving about my new friendship. I need to tell you about her blog!
Beth is the most creative and imaginative person I know when it comes to writing her posts. 
The most popular series Beth did was the 100 looks in 100 days. She came out with the most beautiful looks you could think of, though I am still waiting on the Unicorn look, I reckon it would catch on! Haha

Because of Beth's love for make-up, it is down to her who points me in the right direction. Her tutorials on YouTube are so easy to follow and she uses affordable products. :)

If you are not following Beth already, then you really should guys. You can find her on Twitter, Bloglovin' , YouTube and Instagram

Hopefully this year I will be meeting Beth in February which will be a bunch of mixed emotions :)

Let me know what Blogs you are loving this week in the comments below,

Until next time, 

Becky 

Weekly Wishes #5

Howdy!

I took a week out of blogging due to personal problems.
This included feeling sorry for myself, for no apparent reason. Which, thinking about it now, may just be the 'carried over' meltdown from NYE..

ANYWHOOO!

It is time to update myself on the goals I have achieved this week.
Recently I have been enjoying writing this series as it not only gets me involved in the blogging community, but sometimes I even surprise myself when I look on the blog and realise that I had set myself those tasks. Some of which, I had forgotten I had set! aha!


The Nectar Collective



This week has been okay in terms of goals I think...

Last Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Pick up my camera - Well, my mum actually picked it up for me. Same thing, right? I am so happy to have it back. I was given a 64GB memory card for Christmas and part of my Christmas present was to buy a new lens. Just currently looking at the different ranges. Do you have any recommendations? Comment below :)

2) Write out an invoice - This should of been a priority and actually hasn't been done.. at all. Well, I started putting it together..

3) De-clutter my wardrobe - I started.. chucked out a few things.. but honestly, it's not good enough. What I have noticed is that I have FAR too many jumpers..

4) Purchase the Zoeva Brush Set - Yes, this is a goal from the previous week. But I can confirm that I have a set of brushes in my paws.. and I LOVE THEM!


This Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Write out an invoice - This definitely needs to happen.. like NOW!

2) Drink more water - Seems silly, but I set myself the challenge of drinking 3litres of water a day and honestly. I am failing!

3) Write some new blog content - I have so many ideas, I just need to get them up!

4) Have a bath - What an odd goal, I know, but I do shower all the time. The family bathroom is used by my brother.. need I say more! He is currently away for the week, and I want to take full advantage and have a bath with one of my LUSH products :)


Hopefully, I will complete this... they seem so simple!

Until next week,

Becky

Weekly Wishes #4

Monday, 5 January 2015

It is week 4 of my Weekly Wishes, which means i've pursued this for a whole entire month!
Those that know me, and have kept in touch, will know how much of an achievement that is. :)

After last week's failure; I can happily say this week was far far better.

Last Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Purchase the Zoeva Brush Set - Right, ok you got me. I didn't purchase it. Surely there is a local supplier for these brushes rather than Germany?! Let me know in the comments below.

2) Blog Post Writing - I did it! I was so organised for the week!

3) Say goodbye to 2014 - I did go out to a local village party, which had a 'fun' turnout. I had a bit of a meltdown.. in the car.

This Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Pick up my camera - This may sound silly, but you have no idea how happy I am my camera is back from the repair shop! Just need to pick it up :)

2)Write out an invoice - I need to type up an invoice for the last photoshoot I did! Eek, my first one as well!

3) De-clutter my wardrobe - Since my meltdown, I promised myself I would declutter my wardrobe from all the clothes I don't wear etc.


So excited for this week's goals, and I know I will complete them!
I may just sneak in a few purchases..

P.S Did you read my yearly goals?

Until next week, wish me luck!

Becky

Weekly Wishes #3

Bonjour everybody!

No, I haven't turned French, nor am I taking lessons. Left that one far behind of the days of GCSE's!

It is a Monday which means, one thing.. Weekly Wishes time!

This week well and truly sucked!

Last Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Schedule some Blog Posts - Well.. I planned one post after I wrote the last Weekly Wishes post. So that is kinda completed.. no?

2) Go Out! - This one did not happen what so ever! I was invited out for drinks on Christmas Eve, but turned them down as I was still wrapping up presents! Since then I have arranged to meet a few people, so hopefully I will get out haha!


This Week's Weekly Wishes:

1) Possibly.. purchase the Zoeva Brush Set - I know this isn't exactly a goal.. but I really need some new brushes and, well, they are so so pretty!

2) Blog post writing - Come on Becks, let's get motivated and write some posts! I have some brilliant ideas, just need to find some time to write!

3) Say goodbye to 2014 - I have a feeling that I am going out for this one.. what to wear?!


Round of applause, for the girl who completed her goals!
Oh wait, not me? *sigh*

Until next week, wish me luck!

Say hello to Frankie!

Frankie posts over on Crazy Blonde Girl and also has a YouTube channel!

During October, Frankie did some Halloween tutorials, including an Avatar Makeup look, and my favourite, the mermaid!

Blog Love Tuesday

Tuesday, 9 December 2014

In recent months I have seen a lot of hate on Twitter directed to bloggers and YouTubers. Not just the well-known ones (Zoella to name one) but the ones that are starting off with a small part of the internet and have big ambitions to make their small part, huge.
If you've not noticed this hate circulating, count yourself lucky from the frustration and countless headaches I've had.

People say that the hate has only just recently started happening, na uh! This has been round for years and years! I may of started this blog last April, but I was not born yesterday.
The internet can be a cruel place, but what empowers us to get through this hate is to ignore it and not give it the time of day.
Easier said than done, I know. But honestly, just don't retaliate.

What happened to the times when Bloggers and Vloggers would empower and support their community, eh? We all had nice, positive things to say, to help motivate people to carry on their hobby and enjoy what they love.

That is why I am starting a new thing*

Each Tuesday, the feature #bloglovetuesday will take pride of place on Becky B Blog.
I will be chosing one blog that I absolutely love and enjoyed reading.
I'll also be throwing in a song, because I'm amazing! ;)


This week I've chosen REM - Shiny Happy People. Song is upbeat, need I say more?! Most def puts a smile on my face; and I'm not talking about the delightful costumes! ;)
This is my chance of showing you guys the talent that has put a smile on my face that week. Where do you come in? I want you lovely people to do exactly the same! This could be in the link up below with your own post of who you are loving, a comment on this post. Maybe a mention on Twitter or Instagram, using the #bloglovetuesday. The possibilities are endless! So, without further ado, let me introduce my first #bloglovetuesday!



  April Todd from Hello April.






April, is a lovely, gorgeous lady! You can find her small place of internet space not only on her blog, Hello April, but also on Youtube. Both these sites cover everything from lifestyle, beauty or fashion. My favourite posts include April's recent trip to IKEA (that cactus is so so cute) and also her amazing find for banishing flat hair! April's posts are really lovely to read with a fun attitude. So go give April a follow on Twitter and her blog, you will not regret it. You may be lucky to get sent a photo of a hamster in a Santa's outfit. Yeah, you heard me! April, keep up the amazing work. You have achieved so much, since rebranding in November!


Let's push the hate aside and share the love :)

 Becky
