Slacking off is getting me nowhere!

Hey hey hey lovelies,

Okay so... I know I have grown to become a terrible blogger... going from one post a day to not posting for weeks!!

This is ridiculous! Karine get your shit together!!

But in all seriousness though, I have been slacking off mainly because of how busy I am with two jobs and trying to balance it all out with YouTube that I've sorta neglected this side of me... my blogging side.

No I am not going to quit doing what I love doing... blogging... but I have definitely thought about maybe cutting back on posts. So maybe post once or twice a week instead?

These past few weeks have been CRAZY!!! Not really... just been ignoring tons of responsibilities..

Anyways! I have no idea where I was going with this post! I will definitely start blogging more!

I've decided that I will post twice a week, every Monday and Friday!
I'm really looking forward to this because I've noticed that once I make a set schedule, it works much better than just posting whenever I feel like it!

With this, I now leave you with my latest video!

Thank you so much for all the support guys!
Means a lot

Birthday weekend

Hey lovelies,

So today I'm back with a very random post. I don't really have a topic for it but I just thought I'd come on here and share with you my excitement.

This is my last day as an 18 year old because as soon as the clock reaches 12:01 on the 30th of March, I will officially be 19.

This is so exciting for me. I honestly think that the year has gone by so quickly! It's crazy! I still remember the day of my 18th birthday like it was just yesterday!

The first picture I took as an 18 year old

Oh I can't hold my excitement in! I'm off to a club tonight to celebrate my 19th with a bunch of friends. I think it'd be a fun night out in the city - hopefully the weather doesn't hate me.

Anyways so I hope you are all having a lovely weekend wherever you are in the world doing whatever you decide to do!

I will definitely be back most likely on Monday since I won't be blogging on my birthday - too many things to enjoy tomorrow!! :p

I will be sure to keep you updated on any exciting moments that are bound to happen!

Happy 1st Anniversary TropicalColours!

Hey lovelies!

As you may or may not know, my blog is a year old! YAY
I was going through my blog, just for a laugh and then I realized that on February 10th 2013, I had made my very first post!
I wasn't as consistent with my blog posts back then as I was in the middle of moving houses where I ended up without internet for 3 whole months! (...what? how did I do it? ...I really don't know)

As soon as I was settled into my new house, year 12 had taken over my life. I was stressed and like any other year 12 student, I was exhausted! I didn't have to energy or the motivation to keep on going on with my blog so I gave up for a while. At the end of 2013, I realized that I really missed blogging about random things that would pop into my head.

So I decided that I would start all over again. I re-designed my blog page, adding colours and pictures. I started a YouTube Channel and now I am loving it!

I now have over 40 posts and 100+ followers! That's amazing! Never did I ever think that I would even be able to create content on my blog every week let alone have people reading and commenting on them! I absolutely love it!

I want to take a minute to thank all of you, all of my followers because I am so so grateful for every single one of you! And an extra thank you for those who take the time out of their busy days to comment and give me feedback! I really appreciate it!

You have no idea how happy it makes me when I see the little notification button light up and I see that one of you have commented or that I got a new follower! It really makes my day!

So really thank you!

If you would like to talk to me or anything like that, please do so, I love getting messages, even if they're just a hello!

I love you guys, thanks for being so fabulous!

Lots of love, Karine xx

Valentine's day!

Hello lovelies!

Who doesn't love valentine's day? It's a day filled with love, chocolates, presents, kind gestures, smiles, butterflies and surprises.... for couples

But for those like me who know exactly what I will be doing on that day... eating a ton of sweets and blogging my life away, know that it really is a day like every other because we are forever alone.

JUST KIDDING
(no but seriously)

So what has inspired me to write this today was Grace Helbig. For those who don't know Grace Helbig, she's/was dailygrace on YouTube. And for those who don't know dailygrace on YouTube then... what are you doing?  Here's the link 

You guys should go watch her videos because they are HI-LA-RI-OUSSSS *sassy snap*

So Grace has now moved channel and now uploads videos to her channel itsgrace and made a video about Valentine's day which I found so very clever and funny. 

I thought I'd tell you about what I am going to do this VALENTINE'S DAY yay!!

• So firstly I'm going to get flowers delivered to myself

• Next I will make a list of all of my favourite movies so that I may watch them

• I'll marry my two chickens - even though they are both females I don't care (SAME SEX MARRIAGE WOO)

• Surround myself with maoams and tea and lots of chocolate stuff.

• Get frustrated because I cannot beat my high score of 35 on flappy bird

So what are you up to this Valentine's Day?

Lots of love, Karine xx

A little update

Hey Lovelies,

I know I haven't been posting as much lately so I thought I'd give you a little update on what I've been up to.

Now as much as I wish I could say that I have been flooded with so much work or busy doing super cool things like climbing a mountain or fighting a dragon, unfortunately my answer to the lack of posts is just that I've been too lazy to write.

I've actually been up to a lot, I went shopping, worked, made and edited videos but that does not excuse me of my laziness as I have spent so much time just watching YouTube videos and searching up random things on Google search instead of actually doing something productive with my life *sigh*

well what can you do...

But yesterday I painted my nails! I thought i'd be a bit creative and tried a little french manicure but with a little twist!

I would love to promise you that I will post everyday but I know I can't do that! But what I can promise you is that blogging is something I love to do and my blog will be active forever and ever and ever and ever....

What have you been up to lately? Did you fight off any dragons or climb a mountain?
If you have time, make sure to check out my new YouTube channel and Subscribe if you like it!

Lots of love, Karine xxx

Top 5 Outfits of 2013

Hey lovelies!

I was going through my wardrobe and reminiscing of all the good times I had in 2013. Then it hit me.... Why not show you all my favourite outfits of 2013? OMG

Numero 5. It's my formal dress!! So I fell in love with this dress and it's beautiful colour. I also decided to change it up a bit and add a few personal touches to it (the flower and the belt). The front looks like the back so I thought I'd show you the back...

Numero 4. This is a cute little summer outfit which I really love. It is simple and nice.

Numero 3. My New year dress which I absolutely love. It's SPARKLYYYYY.

Numero 2. This is a last minute outfit that I quickly whipped up the morning before the party. I went around looking for something to wear and found this. I really love it. 

Numero 1: MY fave of the faves. I love love love this play suit. It's fun, colourful, light and perfect for summer!

 So that's it guys! These were my top 5 outfits of 2013. I will try to take more pictures of my outfits instead of always being the one behind the camera!

Let me know what you think of them!

Lots of Love, Karine xx

My first post! Yay!! :)

Wow okay, this is my first post... erm... I don't know where to start.

So I was really excited to start a blog because I know that in real-life I have so many opinions and ideas that I thought that I should just put them all on a blog. And also I talk a lot so writing wouldn't be so hard, right?

Anyways, so I decorate my blog page, adding a few things here and there. I know it's not amazing or anything but for now, it'll have to do! haha I was very excited to start this and then I thought to myself... what should be my first post? What am I going to blog about? Oh my... I actually have no idea!!

And I decided that i'd wait til night because that is when my brain decides that it does actually want to work! Right before going to bed, my brain bursts with all these ideas and thoughts and passion! (Passion? lol what?) So I had hundreds of ideas but sitting at my computer right now, I seem to have forgotten all of them... great!

That's okay! So I sat here for about half an hour thinking of what should my first post be about? So I googled a few tips here and there and most of them said to be myself... err... great tip, doesn't help though ey! But thought why not actually introduce myself?

So... here I go...!!
I'm Karine and I'm 17 years old! 18 in about two months (YAY!!) I love having fun (who doesnt?) But i'd rather just watch movies, blog, listen to music than go out (lazy? you guessed it!) But I love the beach! Maybe that's because I come from a Tropical Island called Mauritius! But I could just sit on the beach or collect sea shells all day and i'd be happy! Um I love music, although I can't play instrument or don't really sing, I enjoy listening to it! I love colours, they make me happy and they're nice! (wow what a great reason, don't you think?)
I started this blog where I would post things I like or find interesting and I will try to keep it into this 'tropical colours' theme I picked :p

Anyways that's all from me for now! I would really appreciate it if any of you would give me any tips or anything like that! Please feel free to leave me comments and stuffs since I'm new to all this.
