I haven't posted in nearly a week. Sorry my few followers ! This might be a long one!


Disposable fashion
I've watched tons of make-up tutorial videos on youtube recently because I felt boring with my make-up and wanted to play around with it but didn't know where to start. So I've learnt loads which has been great and bought a few great new products which were recommended. Great ! I also like to watch, as a guilty pleasure, haul videos, and I was watching this one and this girl kept going on about how she loves cheap fashion stores and disposable clothes. Oh my god, I was a bit disgusted ! A few days later an old friend came over (and I love her) but I was shocked to hear how she will buy a couple vests for a couple of quid, rotate them for the month, and then chuck them in the bin. Literally in a bin, not in a charity bag or a recycling unit ! I hate this idea!! About a year ago I stopped shopping in Primark because their clothes don't last, and when you've gotten over them, charity shops won't take them and you end up putting them in the bin ! I have a feeling this stems from people trying harder and harder to be "fashionable" ! You buy every trend that it's season at an affordable price, then chuck it all out ready for next season. To save me ranting on for ages I'm going to summarise. Why don't we all take a leaf out of French women's books and rotate the same wardrobes of classic pieces every season/ year, updating them with key trend accessories/ odd piece? I'm not an eco-warrior but I do think it's such a waste to be so frivolous with clothes, when really it's a luxury to be able to choose what we wear ! What do you reckon?




Also, don't you just hate it when you don't have plans for month and then suddenly everything happens at once ! 


I've got a £15 voucher to spend in Top Shop but I don't really like Top Shop, dos anyone have any suggestions of what I could spend it on? I'm looking for a nice classic handbag at the moment, has anyone seen any nice ones?

I took a photo of myself

And here it is. If you like my knee press follow and we can have lots of fun. Today I got up at 7.30am and went for a swim. I swam for 25 minutes straight. When I got out I almost passed out. There was also an argument between some people in the pool. All in all a pretty eventful day and it wasn't even 9 in the morn. 

So last night was the Lost finale! Exciting stuff. For some. I'm about to watch season 3 episode 19, so I've got a bit of a way to go yet ! Any lost fans out there? If you love Lost follow me haha gayyy 

I don't know why I look so sarcastic in above photo. Sorry about that chicas xo

A haul with a difference

So I've been trying to have a more positive outlook in time for the end of college and my last official summer at home, so I've been forcing myself out of bed before 9 more than once a fortnight. I love early mornings as I always feel I get a lot more done in the morning if I get up early, than if I stayed up late and did stuff in the evening. So last week a friend and I met at 8.30 for a swim, and then we went for a walk to our local bluebell woods which were BEAUTIFUL at 9 in the morning (I can't swim lengths for long yet but I'll le you know when I hit an hour straight) So I can't wait to get that roll developed. 

This morning my boyfriend and I got up at 8 pulled on some clothes (ERROR I put on jeans... it was like 25degrees and I swear I sweated off a few pounds in my little denim sauna) and off we popped to the biggest car boot sale in the county. Bloody hell we had to que for half an hour to get in but BOY was it worth it.

Cowboy Boots - 50p !!!

Tin - 50p also (I'm using it as a pencil tin for now to show it off ;) )

KODAK MAN BADGE - £2 for 6, we bought the lot because we loved them so much. One has a little home on my make up bag. 

I love car boot sales, I always seem to find such a great bargains, and  don't mind buying second hand. There was this gorgeous tea set I found, my second error of the day was not buying it. 

Is it just me who sops second hand for everything in my life? Or do you find treats in charity shops, car boots and flea markets? Let me know what treasures you've found !

Whooooppieeeeeee !

So I posted a photo of some Macaroons I made for my 20th and poor old Kim (http://www.magpieeyesx.blogspot.com/) had never found them England ! A travesty in my eyes ! 

Anyway she the put me on to cake called a Whoopie Pie. After a bit of research I discovered that Whoopie Pies are a cakey sandwhich treat... "Amish women would bake these (known as hucklebucks at the time) and put them in farmers' lunchboxes. When farmers would find these treats in their lunch, they would shout "Whoopie!"" I loved this story so I hunted down a recipe and baked some up. I am, as I type taking my first bite... and my god they are delicious ! Sweet and sickly but so more-ish. I  recommend you get some butter milk and make these right away (Recipe; http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/451718/Chocolate-whoopie-pie)

Perfect comfort food. 

The sprinkles were supposed to be a 'K' but it got a bit deformed :S

Macaroons

Here's a long awaited photo of the macaroons I made for my Birthday Lunch :) 

PB Cookies revision

The cookies I made yesterday, I realised today, had 6 tablespoons of flour too little! Although they were tasty super tasty like that I decided to cook them again today with the correct 8 tablespoons of flour. 

Just as good ! If not better, as they came out slightly more crunchy. I was afraid that the added flour would dry the cookies out so I melted down some chocolate and dipped the bottoms in to stop them from sticking to the ro of my mouth. 

Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies... Yum !

I got up at 9 this morning and baked some cookies before going off to clean for my Great Aunt which I do once a week. The cookies are so tasty ! Here's the (super simple) recipe and some photos to accompany !

I took four round to my Great Aunts and she described them as "melt in the mouth" A fantastic compliment I think. Happy Days.

Also, the note book the recipe is written in was a belated birthday present from Big Sis (http://darwindarwinsblog.blogspot.com) It's like a diary but with no dates. I's hard to explain but it's lush. 

Anyway here is song to go with the cookies. I recommend you make them. It's so simple and easy to do, and they're melt in the mouth ;) 

CALLING ALL BANDS AND FRIENDS OF BANDS

As you may or may not know I am doing a foundation in Graphic Design at College at the moment. It is the end of the year and like every one I have a final major project.

I've set myself the task of creating a new magazine. The idea behind my magazine is that it's sort of a 'word of mouth' publication, in that readers will provide ideas of what they wish to spread the word about so the idea would be that they'd write in and recommend something to be investigated, or they would send in pieces to be published etc.

Bands - This us where you come in ! Instead of boring adverts throughout the pages of my  publication, I would have flyers from bands, charities, events, things that would be of interest and use to my readers, independent record shops and boutiques, what ever you can think of. (A donation would be made or even sponsorship would become established if this were a real project to keep it afloat obviously) 

ANYWAY I need your band flyers to put in my pages, as all the content is live I need flyers for real shows/ releases. Think you can help? Send me a link to your flyer or post them in my comments. If your friends bands are playing shows send me theirs !  I would love to see them all and also you'd all be helping me out loads ! 

Thanks Peace and Love xo

I wish I was French

Last night while Babysitting I started to flick through the French Women Don't Get Fat Cook Book. And oh my goodness I  fell in love. I find Mireille and the French's ethos to eating similar to mine and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the book to reform my day to day eating habits. After all, for someone who loves food I seem to eat a lot of sicky junk. 

So in the spirit of a hearty breakfast I made myself this morning, a poached egg on seeded bread with rocket and pepper. It was delicious ! 

Work Load Over Load

Oh my days !  I've been re-inspired by the discovery of Sketchbook magazine (http://www.sketchbookmagazine.com/)  I've got stuck in a bit of mental rut with my creation of a new magazine but this magazine has really boosted my idea generations that I've created a whole list of things I want to do for my final show but I only five weeks ! I need to get my bum in gear eek! 

Also finally put my birthday money in the bank so as soon as elf's facebook page hits 42,000 fans that mineral foundation and blush is mine. When they reach a round number of fans the send out codes for free postage, and rumour has it you get freebies as well) Check out their website (www.eyeslipsface.co.uk or .com if you're in the U.S.A) None of their products are tested on animals and they are working towards having all their products vegan friendly (apart from their animal hair brushes) And at £1.50 ($1) an item you can't feel guilty.  

New Days Resoltution

To spend more time networking and finding followers so I can connect with more like minded people to share ideas and thoughts to make the most of the internet.

Peace and Love
