Hi!
Okay so recently i've been really wanting to make a vlog, like on Youtube. ive been daydreaming and thinking about it ALOT and I really want to do it. But when it comes to thinking about recording and actually doing it, I dont know. Please help Smile




Hey girl,  I'd do a private station for your fam and friends for now. Use a web cam and an app like Photo Booth and just record your thoughts on any topic (Gale vs. Peeta, for example. Something crucial). I had a private vlog of my freshman year at college, and I look back at it now as a college senior, and even if I'm one of the only ones watching, it still means a lot. It's a snapshot of you at that moment ... a moment that will never come again.

xoxo

I just want to know what is the best type of eyeliner to use on your waterline? And could you also name the best brand to use that wont break my piggy bank? Smile

 

Hey babe! To really wake up your eyes, you should use a nude or white colored liner. For drama and intensity, try a brown or black. If you really want a daring look, use something in a brighter hue, like purple or blue! e.l.f. and Covergirl both have great prices for their products.
