I have been binge watching a lot of Pixiwoo videos lately, having been ill, its given me more time to watch video and look at new things. I knew Pixiwoo were Jim Chapman's sisters, I already watch Jim Chapman anyway, but I thought I would watch these guys too, and I am so glad I did. I never wore or experimented with make up before my health declined, but now I am on the up, I am starting to be more adventurous and it is down to these guys. Having watched a lot of their Bodytalk series in the run up to my last hospital visit, I came across one they did with Katie Piper, and it is the best thing I have seen in ages. Having watched this, and seen the direction Katie has taken her life in, it has made me think that my past and my declining health shouldn't hold me back, that is partially what made me think about the idea of doing make up as a side hobby while I am recovering.

Another Pixiwoo video I enjoyed watching was Sam's video talking about Anxiety. Until I watched this, I always thought I was clear of anxiety, but it proves I am not. Having heard Sam talk about it the way she did it made me think a lot harder about my anxiety, in some ways I can't prevent it but in some ways I can. It is right what Nic said in that video that we all feel pressured in today's society to almost be perfect, but as Sam rightly proved, that is not the case. I took to youtube to do my own Anxiety video (With some crap editing) but I think if I had not of come Across Sam's video about it, I would never of had the courage to do my own, and now I have done it, I can feel better because I know what situations make me feel anxious, some can be avoided and some can't. I am not perfect, nor am I trying to be, I just want people to know that it is ok to be anxious.
