Tainted Love.

As I have been wanting to get a little bit more into alternative style modelling, but haven't been in front of a camera for an extremely long time, my aspiring photographer friend was nice enough to give up some of his time to take some photos for me to possibly use in my new portfolio!

So here is a quick look at some of them!

They pretty basic before and would took them at about 1 in the morning so the lighting was horrendous! That's why I put an effect/filter on them to just lighten them up and make the colourings look a little bit better!

I literally just put a filter on and didn't do any other retouching at all!

I really like the way they came out!

What I'm Wearing/Makeup:

Makeup- Face: Nivea Daily Moisturizer, Dior Skinflash Primer, Dior Forever Foundation, Dior Nude Concealer( not sure the exact type, but it's from the nude range) Bourjous Chocolate Bronzer, MAC Dainty, MAC Marilyn Beauty Powder (LE, can't remember the name of the top of my head and it was a limited edition one anyway that's no longer available).

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Liquid Eyeliner Pen, Essence 2 in 1 Mascara (both ends), Loreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Mascara. Urban Decay "Blackout" Eyeshadow from The Smokey Palette.

Blog revamp/relaunch! (Important info!)

Hey darlings!

So basically I am going to completely revamp and relaunch this blog. I have quite a few various projects going on and this is definitely going to be one of them from now on! 

This is will be my FASHION,  BEAUTY and LIFESTYLE blog from now on.

It will include the obvious fashion and beauty posts but it will also have lifestyle posts too. These will range from a variety of things. From personal posts, to home decor ideas, to inspirational things. Basically it will be anything I want to blog about that doesn't fit into a category catered for on one of my other blogs!

That will remain on here:

WHEN SHADOWS REMAIN 

www.whenshadowsremain.blogspot.co.uk

Posts will be at least three times a week and will be on either a Monday, Wednesday or Friday.

The schedule will be:

Makeup Monday (Beauty Post)

Fashion Friday (Fashion Post)

Whatever Wednesday (Lifestyle Post)

There may be more things posted a week but WILL NOT be less!

* * *

I have made a WEIGHT LOSS blog solely for my weight loss, health and fitness journey.

I also have a weight loss Youtube channel now.

This will not be a scheduled blog but will be updated extremely regularly. Most likely something will be posted whether it be a short update or a in depth post. 

There will however be at LEAST one post a week which will always be on a Tuesday and will always be a progress report/weigh in/update!

They can be viewed here:

Weight Loss Blog

Weight Loss Youtube

I will be updating regularly about my progress on that matter and many other personal things on my Twitter and Instagram. 

They can be found here:

I have also made a music blog where I will be reviewing and posting about music. Mainly Metal and things along those lines but I'll probably mention music in my lifestyle posts on Wednesday on this blog!

I don't know how often I will keep up to date on this website but will most likely post something on a Saturday and probably also a Tuesday. But no promises as that's more of just a side thing for documenting my music reviews and stuff.

If you're interested in checking this one out, please follow this link:

Music Blog

Finally, I have a fashion and beauty Youtube Channel.

I'm going to try and upload at LEAST once a week and that will probably be on a Sunday, though again I am not too sure. This will be where I post all of my hauls, OOTDs or lookbooks and where I do my more personal videos. If you would like to check that out and subscribe that would be amazing!

Fashion And Beauty Youtube

And finally I have a new email address that you can contact me on if you have any questions, feedback, need advice or just want to chat.

It is:

witheringshadowsblogging (at) outlook (dot) com

I hope this helps you get to know where all my other blogs and sites are and I hope you check out and maybe follow/subscribe to the sites you would like to see content from me on or that you are interested in?

I love chatting to people and making new friends and I also like to give advice so if you would like to maybe follow me on twitter and have a chat that would be awesome! If it would be a long conversation then emailing me would be awesome!

Thanks for your patience while I plugged all that lot! Hahaha!

- This blog will not be active until I have revamped it and then it will launch again! It should only be a couple of weeks whilst I get a layout and better design sorted but in that time I will be completely active on all the other sites mentioned above and will update on twitter a lot. 

Please keep checking back and please follow me or subscribe to me on my other outlets. I do try and put a lot of time and effort into my blogging and videos and love getting feedback. I also like constructive criticism and things I can improve on so I would love some ideas on that. Also if you have any suggestions for types of posts I could do/that you enjoy. 

Thanks for reading and hope to see a few more youtube subscribers, twitter and instagram followers and followers on my other blogs ;) lol.

Thanks!

Weekly Weight Loss- 8lbs down.

Hey guys!
LONG TIME NON SPEAK! I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Very personal things been going on!

If you have followed my blog before you would probably know that I've been on a weight loss journey! It started out really rocky and I must admit I actually gave up. But about 23-25 days ago I started again and I was really serious! The first week I lost about 2lbs and I was over the moon as I have probably said before, the hardest part for me is always the beginning!

The next week went by and I lost another 2.6lbs! Bringing the total up to 4.6lbs!

I weighed in on Saturday and to my complete and utter shock was in the stone less! (UK weight measurements are normally in stone which is 14lb roughly) I had lost 3.4lbs and was so happy! That brings my total up to 8lbs lost so far!

I know it may not seem like a lot but to me it was such an achievement. I only have 6lbs more until I have lost my first stone and can give myself my little reward!

Weigh in days are every Wednesday and Sunday normally but with the hectic schedule I have been changing it up.

As for the how!
Literally just good eating, controlled portions, exercise and writing everything down! I have been using and logging into MyFitnessPal everyday and have been really enjoying doing so. I've even made friends and most importantly I can tell the difference in myself!

I am going to write a full in depth "How I lost weight" when I reach a higher target, maybe my first stone? But I intend to continue writing these blogs for a while!

The picture is of me after 4.6lbs lost!

Thanks for reading and please keep checking back. I can't promise I will be posting that regularly but I will be trying. Makeup look coming soon! :D

Weekly WeightLoss Roundup! Week One-

My weight is something I have struggled with for years. I was always one of the biggest girls in my class at school and was pretty much overweight for as long as I can remember. But when I was eleven I went through a very traumatic experience, which I won't talk about, and my weight ballooned. I lost control over my eating and would often turn to food as a comfort. I have struggled with depression secretly from the age of eleven. Dealing with self harm and overeating. Then when I was thirteen I  basically had a mental breakdown. Again I won't go into much detail about that right now as it's very personal.

Food was a release. It was a way out. And at times it was my only friend. But now it's got to the point where it has turned into an enemy, almost an addiction. And while we all need food to survive, it is also a BAD addiction. I feel that people are FAR to judgmental when it comes to weight and they often think people are fat because they like eating too much and are lazy. While this can be true, I think it is often misjudged. In my opinion weight is nearly always linked to emotional troubles. I'm not going to go into my personal believes.

I have been yo-yo dieting for years now and I am sick of being the size I am. I am confident in myself and I don't mind being this size but I don't LIKE it. So that is why I have decided to REALLY try to lose weight this year! Every day is a new beginning and I might as well start now!

I have joined My Fitness Pal (well actually I have been a member for quite some time!) which is basically a food and exercise tracker. It gives you a daily calorie allowance and you have to stick to it to lose weight. You just enter what you have eaten and it totals your calories. You do the same for exercise.

Every Monday I will be weighing in and doing a little post (not as long as this one) about my progress (or lack thereof) and how I'm feeling. This is definitely going to be tough but I hope you will join me on this journey and follow my process. :)

I'm going to keep my weight to myself right now as I don't feel comfortable sharing it right now!

I will also be making youtube videos on this matter :D

Thanks for reading.
Hope to hear from you soon.
