Tuesday tip: Staying safe on holiday!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hola Senors y Senoritas!! ♥Am having a lovely time here in Madrid. We've come back to the hotel for a Siesta, or in my case, a quick blogging sesh! It's really lovely here, and hot hot hot! My first proper tan since I was a teen is coming along slowly but surely. My face isn't playing ball at all, though, and I'm very much channelling Rudolphio dos Rednose Reindeeros...

BRB - The Madrid/Paris Edition

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Yo doodz!I finally have a small window of time to post a blog, before setting off on our adventure! We are getting the Eurostar tomorrow at 11am, but are leaving Canterbury today at lunchtime to take Roxy to my mum's etc.Soooo quick update, Wednesday's trip to London was fun. Disappointing on the purchase front though. I had a collective £105 worth of vouchers...

Tuesday tip: A trip down mammary lane!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Ha! Sorry about the title... I couldn't help myself.FIRSTLY: Do check out the fun interview I did for Lauren of Glossary Zine, here!Secondly: I also did one for the lovely Fritha Louise of The Fish Tank the other day, here!Apologies for the delay of today's tip. I came down really headachey at about lunchtime and haven't been able to focus properly. I think...

The calm before the storm!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hey!I hope you had a nice weekend. I had a very uneventful one. I worked Fri, Sat and Sun and spent the nights just chilling with Alex, watching films and reading. It's all go this week, though, as we're off to Madrid on Sunday!I haven't mentioned my holiday on here much for some reason! I guess it's just crept up on me. We're catching a sleeper train to Madrid...

Friday faves

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();After having my last few days marred by grotesque headaches, things are finally looking up and after a nice Curry lovingly cooked (well, film lid lovingly pierced, if we're being picky!) by Alex, I'm finally feeling myself again. Woo!So in the spirit of all things awesome, here are the things that have made me smile through my painful few days... Painting my...

#TV taught me how to feel, now real life has no appeal!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Sorry for the late post, but this blog is looking rather naked to me and I can't go to sleep leaving it in this vulnerable state!Alex got back from his mini holiday to the seaside with his buddies, so we've been having a lovely night but he's dozing off now, so I'm blogging live from bed!I don't talk about music much on here, if ever, because I'd never tell...

Tuesday Tip: DIY Ribbon Bow Watch!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Today's tip was a bit of a disaster. I tried Plan A (which involved Duct Tape) but after 2 attempts that didn't go to plan, I gave up and moved onto Plan B. A race around the charity shops to look for a watch ensued, and I couldn't find a decent one anywhere. But I explained my plight to a nice man in the Indoor Market and he found me the perfect watch for this...

Legs are the new Nails

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();I gave into my Leopard lust and bought the leggings from Topshop yesterday. I was kinda freaking out about how I'd wear them, but after tonight's epic dress up session, I am feeling much more inspired! I wore the first outfit to work today. It was the first time I'd ever done the controversial leggings-as-trousers thing. I found it strangely liberating, and...

Shop 'til you drop (this is an order).

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Seeing as the look I'm going for lately evokes the words 'sweaty' 'maternity-wear' and 'oaf', I'm holding off on the outfit photos, for your own safety. I'm actually getting really annoyed with having to wear very minimal and floaty clothing because of the heat and am really wondering how I'll cope in Madrid (2 weeks until my holiday! Don't think I've mentioned...

Leopard Lust

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();The trouble with working at Topshop is that every shift is a potential shopping spree. I've been ruling my finances with an iron fist lately because, erm, I'm totally skint. But we have some awesome new leopard print items in that are taunting me to invade the overdraft! The thing with leopard print is that it's quite timeless, I think. I could justify buying...

Duck Hunt

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();[Remember that awesome Nintendo game Duck Hunt? SO good!]I am trying to type but Roxy has decided to take up residence on my lap. Like so:EDIT: I have just evicted her because it's impossible to babble at length with her on my lap! Bad luck, guys! :)Here's a couple of pictures from Mine and Alex's walk to the river yesterday. We were on a mission to find the...

Tuesday tip - A bunch of cheap Nail ideas!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hi gang!Loving all your entries for the Tesco competition, you are going to make it very difficult for me to choose a winner! For this week's Tuesday tip, I wanted to share three new dirt cheap nail ideas I've come across lately. Here's my hand after today's experimentation:First up, a slightly messy but fun glitter nails tutorial! You'll need any old glitter...
