Happy new year!!! It's 2015, which is so strange because I swear that just sounds too futuristic for my liking. To start off the new year I thought it would be nice to take a look back at some of my favourite posts and videos from 2014. I've taken a look through my analytics and it seems that your favourites are pretty much the same as mine, so let's go back in time together...
I spent this year really focusing on my videos and the quality of the content I'm uploading. I also wasn't afraid to upload a few non-beauty videos here are there and funnily enough they've become some of my favourites. The Then & Now video I did with my best friends is something I frequently watch and I had such great feedback from younger teens who got some great advice from this video as well as mums who passed this onto their daughters. On another life subject I spontaneously filmed Protect Your Skin, a video talking about my moles, the insecurity I have with them and the process I have to go through to get them checked. Not the most glamorous subject, but again, the feedback on this video was incredible!
When I reached 200,000 subscribers I made a fun little stop motion video to say thanks and when Anna and I went to Ghana with Comic Relief I worked really hard to document the trip as well as I could and I'm so happy I have this video to look back at.
I uploaded a style lookbook for almost every season this year and a few of my favourite style videos included my Winter Coat Collection, my Summer Lookbook and My Shoe Collection. My favourite beauty videos were Quick Beauty Tips for Busy Women and 4 Makeup Looks for University/College.
So lets talk blog posts and typically you guys prefer the ones that have been thoroughly thought through and planned. Tips for Taking Passport Photos is one that often gets checked and I often find myself sending the link on to people who have asked for tips. The idea of The Skincare Guide was a way to keep up with a multi-step skincare routine and I still use mine every day! If you have a lot of beauty products then using The Repurchase Test will help you decide whether you really need another one. The Beauty Bloggers' Drugstore Favourites was a fun one to compile and write so I'm glad that went down well and finally, my Brookies recipe - well we know how much you guys like that one don't we!
So those are some of my favourite posts and videos from 2014 and hopefully, if you missed any first time round, you can catch up now! I hope you all have a lovely New Year's Day and keep an eye out for a new video from me tonight at 6.30pm!
