It's been too long...

Hey guys so it's been like forever and a year since I have posted anything on my blog :(

Currently I'm on a major YouTube block/break which ever way you would like to put it. My two year anniversary is coming up so I will definitely be uploading. The last couple of months have been amazing my subscribers have been growing like never before. Thankyou so much.

In other news I have finally started running. About time since summer is coming up and I live in short shorts. Can't be having my legs looking nothing less then great. I actually love the burn of exercise so I'm very happy.

I have been working quite a lot lately when it comes to shoots ect which exhausts me more then running a marathon.

If your from the UK and are currently in college you will be aware that it's dooms day tomorrow. A level exam results are coming out. Not looking forward to it, I have told my friends to be on suicide watch.

Mums going away end of this week so I'll get to relax atleast.

How's your week been?

Glitter, British Music Scene and other things this week

So this week has definitely been a slow one.  Nothing too exiting happening.  Just trying to finish up college and start the holidays.

Onto things that I’ve been loving this week:

I'm actually having to think quite hard about this…

Got one!

My fur coat - Fake fur that is.  I don’t believe in real fur but that’s a whole other post.  Me and my friends have collectively come up with the name Phantom for it.  It keeps my very warm I can literally wear a T-shirt and shorts under it and I will be fine.

Glitter - I'm certainly feeling festive so anything glitter is just orgasm worthy for me at the moment.  Shoes, bags, nails are just a few examples.  I have been sporting bedazzled nails for the last two weeks.

My shorter hair – I have but off about 8 inches of my hair in the last few months and I do miss the long hair but I feel like the shorter hair looks a bit more grown up and just less typical really. 

Dark lips – I have been obsessed with the Rimmel Lipstick in the ‘Kate Collection’ that is a dark purple.  I havent purchased it but I have found a lip liner that’s similar just a little more on the red side.  Its from L.A. colours and its super creamy so I can wear it as a lipstick.  I am wearing it it in the video.

Favorite song – Professor Green ‘Into the Ground’.  Not everyones cup if tea but I just find this song funny and it can really lift my mood.  If you havent realised yet I am obsessed with Professor Green.  UK artists have been doing amaizing in the last few years. One more song I need to mention is Example ‘Microphone’.  Love it!

Stuff that irritated me this week:

The fact that I am broke as hell until next Thursday!

People that make me feel so uncomfortable I could be physically sick around them…

That’s about it.  So not so bad this week ehh? HAHAHA

Have you put up your Christmas lights yet? Because I haven't.



Travelling, Tea and Annoying People

Last week I failed to update since I was travelling.  So here's an update for the last two weeks really.

I was away for five days to visit my grandma in Lithuania.  It was her birthday which meant that I was eating birthday cake for three days straight.  That also means I'm back on my diet.  

Here are some pictures I took at my grandmothers house:

 yes its a boombox. i know epic!

the christmas tree at our city

I forgot how much I love that house.

Things I loved this week (two really):

The fact that Christmas is coming, I have been feeling very festive lately and probably going to put up some decorations today.

I have been drinking lots of tea.  Whilst I was away that seemed to be the drink of choice.  I usually like fruit and herbal teas but I was being very English and having black tea and milk at my grandmas.  The Twinning’s Camomile, Vanilla and Honey is amazing.  No sugar needed.  But enough about tea (I’m clearly obsessed over here)

The quality of video when filming with the iPhone 4.  I got this phone a week ago and filmed a few videos already and I can truly say I am not going back to my little camera.  Here’s a tutorial if you want to check out the quality (click here.)

I once again have to say my friends.  The more times goes on the more I appreciate the real ones in my life.  I also wrote a post on this issue (click here.)

Song of the week is definitely ‘Let Me Show You’ by Maverick Sabre. Amazing all I need to say.  I can listen to this whatever mood I might be in.

Things I didn’t like so much this week:

People that are not aware of what a queue is at the airport whilst waiting to board.  Not cool.

People that have mood swings at me.  Just f**k out. (pardon my language is just this REALLY irritates me)

The fact that my bestie is ill and has been for days now. Get better babe.

Question for the week:

What do you do to get better when your ill?

Friends, Life, Love and Evolution

I’m am so very sorry that I fell of the band wagon this week and missed my weekly Saturday post! I was busy with life i.e. shopping and dining and completely forgot to write up my post.  Nevertheless I’m going to try to make it up to you now.

So things I have loved this week:

My skin – I have been using retin-a for 2 weeks now and my skin is finally getting better.  My first week update video is here is you want to see it.

My friends – There are some people I heavily rely upon in my life i.e. my best friends.  Whether it’s a coffee I may need or a chance to rant I can always rely on my small group of besties to be there for me.

Me and one of my closest friends Ani, I cant live without her. Taken at our ‘secret’ spot in London.

Coconut oil – I am a coconut oil fanatic I have been using the stuff on my hair forever now.  But recently I have started to use it on my lashes and I have been getting a lot of compliments.  My video on coconut oil is right here.

My favourite beverage - had to be the ‘Soy Frosted Mint Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream’ from Costa. Naturally.  I am not a hot chocolate fan but this is like ‘After Eights’ in a cup. I LOVE IT.

For music - this week I haven’t got anything specific.  Although I am enjoying Rihanna’s new album ‘Talk that Talk’.  I especially like the song ‘Drunk on Love’.

I read a book yesterday called ‘The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution in 20 Questions’. Brilliant that’s all that I can say.

Things that I didn’t like so much this week:

Thinking that someone cares about you when they obviously don’t.

The weather – its been getting cold, windy and rainy

The idea that exams are coming up soon.

Kisses and Hugs to you all.

Photo Shoot, Boys and the Ghetto.

Saturday morning sitting in bed writing for my blog with a cup of coffee next to me.  I have come to a lot of conclusions this week.  Thanks to a few videos on YouTube.  If you don’t respect yourself and go against your morals/beliefs for someone then how can you live with yourself and be happy alone?

Things I loved this week:

Makeup – nothing since I have not worn makeup for the whole of the week.

Skincare – I am currently on my 5^th day of Retin-A treatment so sunscreen is my best friend.  You can read about my favorite sunscreens here.

I was on a photo shoot earlier this week and am absolutely amazed/dazed by the end pictures. Here's some of my favourites.

Music – ‘Take Care’ by Drake.  I know I *shake my head* at myself.  Some of my favourites are ‘Doing it wrong’ , ‘Underground Kings’ , ‘Cameras’.  I am usually not one to listen to Drake ect. But his music has been very reflective of my mood lately.  I also enjoy his voice. What can I say.  The ghetto got to me.

I’ve also been obsessed with anything technology related especially mobile phones.  My upgrade is coming in a month and I am planning to get the HTC Sensation XE. I’m so exited by the way.

Things I didn’t like so much this week:

Boys, the fact that I need to start revising for exams and that red mark the wont leave my chin and disappear.

What music have you grown to love?

Afro's, Hair Science and The Struggles of a Vegetarian!

Another week has passed…WOW! An overall peaceful week but I definitely have some new obsessions to talk about.

Things I loved this week:  I have really been into big, curly, voluminous, afro type hair.  I am currently experimenting with setting methods as the curls always fall…

 

Tinted Moisturiser, I have been using the ‘Nivea Visage Tinted Moisturising Day Cream Natural’ what a mouthful! Retails at around £3.99.  This gives just a little tint to my skin so I look a bit healthier as I can get very pale and dead looking in the winter.  Just enough moisture for my oily days, not too emollient so blend quickly.

Apart from that I have not been wearing that much makeup. Tinted moisturiser, Blush, Mascara. That’s it. 

I have discovered a blog ‘Point of Interest’  Its basically a scientific take on cosmetics.  It explains ingredients and how they work down to the smallest of details.  I am particularly interested in the hair care.  You need some basic chemistry knowledge but I find it fascinating as I do A2 chemistry and I’m just a nerd like that.

Favourite drink of the week has to be Starbucks ‘Egg Nogg Latte’ or ‘Soya Praline Mocha’.  I’m not a fan of Starbucks any other time of year (I personally prefer Costa or Café Nero) but their Christmas flavours are too good to resist.

Since I am vegetarian the winter has hit me in the face like a brick.  I have been a little sniffley ect.  I’m pinning the blame on my lack of protein.  So lately I have been obsessed with anything protein rich. 

A Stew with Soya Chunks, Country Style Soup Mix, Butternut Squash, Parsnips ect. YUMMY!

Favourite Track of the week is ‘I Need’ by Maverick Sabre.  His voice is absolute amazing I seriously suggest listening to this song!

What’s one makeup product you cannot live without?

No-Makeup Challenge, UCAS ect.

This week has been a slow one.  I have finally sent of my UCAS application (how you apply for university in the UK).  After my tutor taking the piss for 3 weeks.  Now I have to hope he does his tutor statement and then the waiting begins. 

Today I woke up with a need to organise so I decided to change up how I store my makeup.  This is my new set up. Im very exited!

 I have been scripting a few videos including my weight loss video.  I don’t want to film it until I reach my goal weight but that may take a little too long.  I don’t know yet but I may just crack and film it because I want to get it out there. If I can help out then I would love to get the video out as soon as I can.

I went on the no-makeup challenge for a week.  Everyone was super sweet and I think Im going to actually continue.  It saves so much time in the morning and I really don’t see why I have to doll up for college.  Makes me look more serious if you know what I mean. 

So that’s my weeks update. What have you been up to ?

 

Professor Green, Ramble and Other things this week

Its been another week. I promised I will do this weekly so here’s your update.  Been on half term so naturally means a lazy week.  Doing a little too much shopping…listening to endless amount of music and just procrastinating about my life and whats going on.  Lately been filming a lot of videos and just deleting them once im done nothing seems to be good enough for my own taste to put on the channel. 

Just downloaded ‘At your Inconveniece’ this morning (new Professor Green) album. So far I love it. I was worried that its gna be too ‘dance’ inspired but its good old moody pro green.  LOVE!

My taste in makeup is forever changing. I never thought about it before but its true, I mean I guess it’s a good thing as I am always finding new things to obsess over and love but can be a bit excessive. 

Im meeting with the girls today hopefully if no more people cancel! Might do a little light vlogging but probably just going to forget and go out anyway. 

Do you ever feel like there is just never a right time?

Friends with Benefits, Videos, Twitter ect

Hey guys, been having a rather entertaining week actually.  Hot topic between me and friends has been ‘friends with benefits’.  What do u think?  Too risky, chance of attachment and heartbreak or just a good bit of fun?  My personal opinion keeps swaying as I get the opinions from more people but I think that it can definitely work in some situations. 
I’ve been getting obsessed with everything to do with social media outlets.  YouTube, Twitter, Face book, Blogger all have been receiving extra love from me as its half term and I have nothing better to do. 

Follow me on Twitter @ruta_yt

YouTube has been up to date with videos every 2-3 days depending on when  have time to upload.  Really proud of myself, I was on a serious ‘YouTube block’ hahaha.

From now on I will be doing weekly updates on blogger to keep a look out for those...

I am also in search of a new camera as I think it is finally time.  Mine has been playing up lately and its time to step it up.

How has your week been?
