Photography Lighting Tip

Hello there my lovelies!


So sorry I'm not on a roll with blogging yet but I'm getting there. I've been trying to take good photos of outfits and shoes I have bought over the Christmas and New Years season ( we all know how good the sales are lol) I bought quite a bit, more than what I should of in my opinion hehe...


ANYWAYS,


I wanted to write a post on a tip on photography and lighting. I was told this by my cousin, who is an established photographer. He told me that the best lighting is light you get from your TV or computer/laptop screen. It's the most flattering. So ladies... go and turn the computer on, or laptop or TV lol. I personally put my desktop wallpaper as a plain white colour and turn the flash off my camera and take photos :) or you can even open a Word Document since its all pretty much white and the light the screen gives off is really good. 


Let me know if you notice the difference in your photos! 
here are some I took in front of my Mac desktop computer with my camera & no flash :)

Shazaaam SUGAR I'm Back ! :)

Why hello there my lovelies... !

It has been quite some time since I have blogged... To be honest I didn't feel like blogging...

I've had quite a few ups and downs since I last blogged, some very unexpected ones at that. But then again, I guess 

Never be ashamed of the SCARS that LIFE has left you with. A SCAR means the hurt is over, the wound is closed, you ENDURED the pain and GOD has healed You... :)

right...?

So I think I can safely say that I have started 2011 with more maturity, more confidence and a stronger sense of self and a bigger realisation than ever before of who matters most in my life and why they do... 

BUT

Since I last blogged, I...

• Got my navel pierced
• Went on a Holiday to the Cook Islands (2 photos below)
• Got Darker lol
• Bought new clothes, shoes & makeup (pictures soon !)
• Had a smashing Christmas and New Year ! :) 
• oh and I realised what a great BARGAIN shopper I am hehehe ! :) evidence of this finding shall be posted soon hahaha

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year !

Dare to Wear Challenge - inspired by African Tribal Makeup

I wanted to re-start so many times because I was thinking to myself, 

"what am I doing?" LOL

But I just kept going and this is what I came up with :)

I wanted to accentuate the cheek bones and draw everything upwards.

MAC goodies !

I went to MAC the other day and bought these ! 

I'm loving the blacktrack fluidline, its so easy to use :)

The paint pot is a great base

and

the pearlglide eyeliner is awesome, but hard to blend and smudge :( BUT I love it! 

If I can, I'd like to go back and get the green and blue coloured pearlglides as well they are vibrant and I think would work as a great base too !

Blogging Blues... layouts !! grrrr

As you can tell I've tried to change the layout... it's so frustrating !!
I want a wide layout and its just not working for me ! 


I've googled and they say change this change that I change it and now my main posting section isn't aligned with my photo and I'm not happy ! :( lol 


If any of you know of a website that has a wide columned template for free that I can just copy and paste would be much appreciated ! Similar to the layout Ashley has from ring my bell :) I want to be able to put large photos in my blog without it looking squashed !


oops forgot I deleted my widgets, I'll add the "contact me" one again, email me any help!!! :)
