YouTuber of the Month September 2015

This month's YouTuber of the month is TalkBeckyTalk. I think that she seems to be a really honest person on screen. I found her video called A Message to the Haters was really pivotal in showing that a screen does not make people invincible and they are just like you or me. I also think that she is really a great personality on screen. I love to watch her videos. I can't wait to see what she does next.

Who has been your favourite YouTuber of the Month this month? I would love to hear who you have been loving, tweet me @MissKathrynAB. 

August Lifestyle Favourites

It is that time of the month again - monthly favourites times. I thought I would share with you everything social and lifestyle I have been loving this month.

First up in the favourites is music. These two songs were rediscovery from my teen years and they are starships by Nicky Minaj and Mambo No 5. They are two great dance songs to cheer me up in the rainy summer days 

My next lifestyle favourite is a TV show I'm steadily becoming obsessed with and it is NCIS. I love this show. I love the characters, the story arcs and the action and the relationships. I just simply love it all. 

Next on my lifestyle favourites is an organisational method bizarrely for me. It is the KonMari method for tidying. My mum was reading her book and kept telling me her methods work. I was a major skeptic until I tried it for myself. It has revolutionised my life. The way I look at my possessions. It has actually changed my life for the better.

Next up is a good old chick flick films that I have never seen but I have fallen in love with them and they are Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2. I love these films. I hope one day to see Legally Blonde The Musical at some point in the future. 

What are your lifestyle favourites from this month? I would love to hear them you can comment down below or tweet me @MissKathrynAB or Instagram me @misskathrynab or even snapchat me @misskathrynab. 

Summer Wishlist Update

I don't know if you remember but back in April I wrote a post about what I hoped I would do over the summer. I spent a lot of time with family from shopping trips with my grandma, a trip away with just my Mum and Dad to Walsingham, which was the most relaxing trip ever. I have also been to Norfolk on a quiet forest holiday with the little brother, Mum and Dad. I have also had two meals out with my family one for my graduation and my Dad's birthday. I also did a lot of singing with Pendle Youth Choir as I finished up my time in the youth choir. I think of my next performing step. I have also read a hell of a lot including James Rhodes autobiography and the book by Sprinkle of Glitter (aka Louise Pentland). I haven't got as far as I want on the fitness front but I plan to continue trying with my new goal of try something new each month, which is going fantastically well. 

My blogs are also going from strength to strength with my fashion and beauty blog has grown to 500 views last month. I have started posting on a weekly schedule and I have a lot of content planned for my amazing readers across the next few months. My writing projects are going across at full steam ahead. I hope to be able to tell you at some point in the future. 

Have you accomplished any new goals this summer? Please comment and share below your achievements or memories of this summer. 

Three Life Lessons from Dadda Pops

So, here is the second post about life lessons, unlike previously when I wrote to my Mum. This time I am going to write to my Dadda Pops.

Dear Dadda Pops,
You teach me so much even though occasionally you lack finesse in how you say it, but I promise you these are some of the most valuable lessons. I think the first and probably the most important lesson is about hard work. You have shown me that hard work can pay off and get you recognition, but it is a long road to get there. I think the last part of that is the most poignant part in recent months.

The second lesson is that it is better to not stew on the past but keep in the present and look to the future regardless of the negativity which could be thrust upon us. If you make a mistake we must learn from that mistake in order to improve who we are than it eating our soul.

The third lesson is that love is a precious treasure which needs to be cherished. If a person doesn't deserve your love, it is easy to switch off that love if necessary in order for our own sanity to be protected.

Thanks for the lessons. You are constantly learning from others and I know will learn things way into the future.

Love,
Kathryn xxx

YouTuber of The Month August 2015

I thought I would a new series of blog posts on my blog called YouTuber of the Month. Literally, because I am kind of obsessed with YouTube especially beauty and lifestyle videos but many other videos too. I thought would share with you those YouTubers I am loving and see where it goes from there.

The first ever YouTuber of The Month goes to

Kristina at Pretty Shiny Sparkly.  

Here is the link to her Welcome video and you can access her channel too. 

I choose Kristina partly because she is living the life I hope to one day have which is a successful full time career alongside her blogging career. I find it quite interesting how she has built her channel up alongside her career, and how she manages to keep it so successful at the same time. I hope I can take everything associated with www.kathrynbracewell.com to the next level. 

See you guys next time. If you have any new suggestions for any new subscriptions please do comment below. 

My Travel Wish List

I thought that with summer in full swing and the start of my career commencing I thought I would write a post about places where I want to go and visit - my travel wish list.

1. Los Angeles, USA
This has been on my list for years. I want to go for the shopping.

2. Abu Dhabi/Dubai
Just for glamour and the fast cars at night at Abu Dhabi F1.

3. Cardiff, Wales
Home of Doctor Who and Sherlock. So of course a must for both a Sherlockian and Whovian.

4. Edinburgh, Scotland
Home of writing, literature and some of the best of British culture. I would love the opportunity for a week or two writing, reading and exploring the Scottish capital,

5. New York
Technically, this should not be on a wish list but I want to go back to do more of the culture and museums.

6. Key West
Sun, glamour and cocktails - the perfect place for a beach holiday according to my Mum and Dad. Shame my baby memories are no longer in tact.

7. Monaco
Men, fast cars and millionaires. I need to see if Monaco is as glamorous as it looks. It may happen sooner than I think. In the words of River Song spoilers.

8. Las Vegas
I think everyone should do Vegas, just once. So that you can say you played poker in Vegas.

9. Hawaii
Beach, sun, relaxation - the perfect writing conditions in my opinion.

Where do you want to travel to? Post down below your travel wish lists I may feature them in a future blog.
