Sunday Diary: I like

The three of us are sitting in the corner of my bedroom. Our only light source are the multi colored fairy lights hanging off one of my walls and the glow of my laptop as I squint to read chords as Frannie and Emma pull it away from me to see lyrics. My ukulele is on my lap and I'm strumming quickly as my head bobs back and forth and my voice is mixing in with Emma and Frannie's. The three of us are singing Home or Little Talks or Vienna or some other song that was a compromise with our very diverse music tastes. I don't even exactly care what I'm belting out for I am lost in the moment. The fact that my singing is horrid and I have no idea what the hell the beat is doesn't seem to matter. We originally started out trying to assign parts of who sings when but it has gotten to the point in which we have decided to go with "sing when you feel the vibe". I constantly have to pause strumming for the ridiculously large homemade flower crown on my head is slipping off and Frannie laughs at how "chill" (as she says) we look with the headbands I made for all three of us. I like this moment. I like singing and I like my bedroom and I like the ukulele on my lap. Most of all, not only do I like Frannie and Emma, I love them.

Emma Blackery: Distance

Here is yet another great bunch of songs by singer and youtuber, Emma Blackery. Only this time, she hasn't just released a single song on her YouTube channel, Emma has come out with a four song EP! The same day the EP was released, Emma had also come out with her music video to the first track, Go The Distance in which she was featured showing off an oh so adorable relationship with a boy who she had just met and already felt adorably close to him. I truly recommend watching the video and guarantee you will "aw" at least once.
The actual EP itself is absolutely amazing. Emma has a way of mastering the whole pop genre while still being able to classify herself as a rock artist. Each and every song was completely original and different from any other artist I have ever heard. I really love how much fun she can be with her songs such as "Lies" and "Go The Distance" yet at the same time, her music is very emotional in "Fear The Future" and her gorgeous hit "The Promise". It was really amazing to hear a song that she sang with only a guitar and her own voice in her bedroom turn into a professionally recorded track. Just that last refrain ended so well with multiple instruments and Emma's voice just shining. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that Emma Blackery has one of the best voices I have ever heard. You can definitely match Emma's speaking voice to her singing voice and she just sounds so genuine. Her sound is truly so real. Everything she creates sounds exactly like her and Emma doesn't try and pretend to be a person she isn't in her music. The lyrics are extremely original and sung extremely well. Emma Blackery has seriously out done every single expectation I had of her album and I absolutely look forward to her later music and videos.
Great person, great songs, great album.

Future of Beauty Blogging: Lazy Little Me

Clearly, I am rather far from the beauty blogging world. I have self classified my writing as a fashion

Cherry (left) and Emma (Right)

Emma Blackery

and music blogger. As this blog expands into the world of makeup (I have touched a bit on that) and accessories (find out on Friday), I am constantly trying to find some sort of role model for this all new world to me. Most beauty bloggers I have found are just plain gorgeous people and don't exactly need makeup or prepping. These people such as Michelle Phan and Zoella are a little far from ordinary people that we see at school on the streets (nothing against them!). Then came Lazy Little Me. This blog and youtube channel described as "the brainchild of youtube vloggers, Emma Blackery and Cherry Wallis". I am not saying in any way that Emma and Cherry aren't gorgeous girls. They really are. The thing is, they aren't so high fashion and out of your reach kind of people that it is almost unrealistic to even try to look like. This pair of girls are just so relatable and down to Earth that teenage girls sitting in their bedrooms can imagine looking like and wanting to look like. Cherry and Emma are not highly made up people and don't seem to put their selves above anyone else. Just look at the name! In one of Emma's latest videos, she jokes about how her highly dyed hair would look better on the barber's floor and how terribly damaged her locks are. A lot of people (including me) giggle at her self deprivation jokes. We all have our small flaws and not only Emma but Cherry talk about how to work around them and help them. For the rest of the video, Emma gives examples of different products that people with very damaged hair from hair dye can buy. Most of the products and makeup these two girls aren't ridiculously expensive and is something that many teens are able to get their hands on. In a video made by Cherry, she shows off the makeup she wears on a regular basis. It takes a reasonable time to create her look and doesn't give much difficulty. None of the stuff she applies is too crazy but still has a very 

Cherry Wallis

unique look to it.
Both Emma and Cherry are extremely unique and rather edgy looking girls. I mean Cherry has the same color hair as the fruit she is named and Emma has had about every color you could ever think of in her hair! At the moment, she is matching her best friend with flaming red locks that look so rad on her. Cherry and Emma both have have an extremely unique view on beauty that I have not seen in any other beauty blog or youtube channel. The other great part is that there are two people working on Lazy Little Me meaning two different points of view!
Lastly, after every youtube video each of the girls make, they always make a blog post to follow up on the video. So for those who prefer watching videos and those who like to read better can both get their ways (I watch and read). Cherry Wallis and Emma Blackery are just getting started and are already absolutely amazing.
