Guess who's on YouTube!

Hello my lovelies! 

Yep, as you may have guessed by the title, I'm now officially on YouTube! It took a whole afternoon of filming with the lovely Meg but my first video is now up and there for your pleasure. It may not be perfect but it's not terrible for a first attempt.

The lighting isn't perfect and I had to edit with Movie Maker because my software decided to crash and the YouTube editor doesn't like my files... but it's finalised and I'm proud of it.

So here it is... Enjoy! 

Please watch. like, comment, share and subscribe. It would mean a lot!

Hello there Mr Sunshine!

Hello my lovelies! 

So I know that Britain doesn't exactly have the best weather.. but lately it's been so lovely and bright outside that anyone would think it's Summer! All this sunshine has got me in a jolly good mood and I'm once more full of energy and motivation. 


Over the Winter months and during cold and dreary weather, if you're anything like me you lose all energy and have little to no effort to do anything. Everything becomes a chore and you just want to vegetate in front of the tv, drinking wine and eating chocolate (and boy oh boy is that the life!) but you do realise that it's not exactly the healthiest way to live so every now and then you'll do something a little active but nothing too out there...
Then comes the sun and suddenly everything is wonderful! I'm fully motivated to be more active, post for you guys, job hunting is much more consistent and work is piling up and getting done rather efficiently. Not only that but rather than spending time sleeping all day (which I do rather love), it's time to get moving and grooving. The gym is back on the scene in a regular manner, yoga becomes a fun time activity and food? Well, it's still not completely healthy, but at least I'm making more of an effort! 


Sure I may not be going out partying as much, but I am spending more time with my gal pals while sober and I'm getting to see more of Chester (as you may have guessed from the picnic post) which is lovely. 

I know this was a rather random post, but I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of these cropping up in the near future...


Also! A huuuuuge thank you to all of you who follow the blog, I have recently hit the first in what I hope will be many milestones with 100 followers on bloglovin! I know right! You guys are simply the best (dun dun dun.. better than all the rest.. *cough* sorry, couldn't resist) and I just love reading and replying to all your emails and messages so please keep on sending them! Find all my contact details here.

Keep an eye out for guest posts in the near future and get in touch if you'd like to feature, aaaand keep an eye out for a few changes around here some time soon as my blog will soon be having a makeover (squeee I'm so excited!), so be prepared!

I love each and every single one of you!

Instagram Weekly!

Hello my lovelies! 

So it's time for something new, that new thing being... a weekly round-up of my Instagram uploads!


So last week there was very little food featured for a change and rather a lot of selfies but each shall be explained! For a better look at any of the pictures, have a look for tammybecks on Instagram.

Top row:
1. So this is a notepad given to me for Christmas which I have recently started using rather regularly for really neat notes. It's got such lovely paper and the cutest cover and I'm using it mostly for Youtube and Blog post plans. 
2. White hot chocolate with mini marshmallows and cocoa powder... yummy... need I say more?
3. Weekly orchestra shot! This week featuring my baby (Matilda the Clarinet) and some of the sheet music from rehearsal.
4. Selfie with sunshine! I found a lovely little spot at Meg's window on Sunday morning which, with the sun blazing directly at it, gave lovely lighting for a cheeky snapshot.
5. Morning selfie. Yep, 1.15pm and we'd just woken up. I was still wearing clothes from the night before as I crashed at Meg's.

Middle Row:
1. Late night selfie! I opened the camera accidentally and realised it looked like I had a bob which had me the debating with myself as to whether I should get a bob or not which then led to me uploading a shot asking what people thought. 
2. OOTD - It's the best angle I can get with no full length mirror in my room I'm afraid. 
Dress-Primark, bolero cardigan-vintage, black tights-Primark
3. Another selfie! I had straight hair and make up on.. that always means there's a selfie moment.
4&5. I went out and treated myself to company magazine which had the lovely +Zoella as covergirl and featured article. It was certainly the perfect accompaniment to some pamper time.

Bottom Row:
1. Hair up selfie... Yeah.. I'm a selfie addict... But I had a scrunchie that matched my shirt so I was all excited!
2. Ted and I couldn't sleep. Need I say more?
3. I HAVE A DALMATIAN ONESIE AND IT EXCITES ME BEYOND BELIEF!
4. Notifying people of a blog post in progress! Yep, it's a (not-so-)weekly favourites and it's coming up very soon.
5. Really? Another selfie? I think I need help...

So that's this week's round-up of my daily life and I think we can all agree I can be rather vain given the opportunity (even I can admit to that), but I can assure you that next week will have less me and more life. Promise! 

Feel free to comment or email me with your blog link, insta name or anything else you'd like to share with everyone and I'll be sure to check it out!

Also, if you'd like to feature your very own blog post RIGHT HERE then drop me an email and I'll see what we can do.

Love you all!
