Why, Hallow!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Happy Halloween!As much as I love dressing up, I'm being a bit of a Halloween scrooge this evening. Are any of you ignoring the doorbell too? Sorry but I barely have enough treats to satisfy my own sweet tooth, let alone sharing with greedy children. Maybe I'm just bitter that I'm too old to go and beg strangers for candy. Sigh!I have been in AGONY today after...

It makes me reflect on the journey this blog and I have had. I spent so long jabbering quite happily to my handful of followers.

Nude nails

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Just a quickie post to show you my nails. I was inspired (heavily) by this cute Wah Nails design. I used my new nude polish that Missguided sent me. This is the nicest, most natural nude shade I've ever used. It dried super quickly, was perfect in two coats and is all round awesome! This shade is being given away (along with 2 others) in this month's Cosmopolitan...

Giddy up, babe!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();I accidentally figured out how to curl my hair the other day. I had bought some little velcro rollers for 98p from Wilkinsons to give my hair a bit more lift, and when I took them out I had a full on Rihanna style curly mohawk! I chickened out of wearing my hair like it all day, but today I plucked up the courage to embrace my inner RiRi. It's been a learning...

Tuesday tip: Spritz your pits!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hi chapettes! I had another tip lined up for you tonight, I wrote half of it this morning, but am not really feeling it now. So rather than stare at the screen uselessly, I thought I'd share a great little perfume tip that has helped me lately. Although I have presented it a bit ridiculously, I hope it will help anyone in my situation... I don't know about you,...

Camel woe

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker(); *There is no camel related woefulness in this post, I just wanted an excuse to rhyme the title with camel toe. I really ought to start acting my age... Bonjour! I'm writing to you from my pit of headache gloom that I seem to be dwelling in quite often these days. Might go and get my eyes re-tested and see if my specs have the right lenses in. Also may try drinking...

The day I amputated my boy shoes

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hola! I decided to dress a bit like a girl today, including some sweet little Topshop frilly flats. It's the first time I haven't worn boots or my lace-ups in ages! I even slapped on some lipgloss for maximum girliness. I ended up complaining most of the day at work about my gunky lips (getting knitwear fluff stuck to them was a particularly low point) but at...

Barry M: Instant Nail Effects review

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hey hey! Happy weekend, one and all! I'm winding down tonight after a week that has left me positively wound up. Hellish headaches and uni work overload are a pretty uncool combo. TGIF, that's all I can say!So, I picked up the fairly hyped Barry M instant nail effects polish in Superdrug the other day. I read that it works best over a light base coat, so I opted...

Overdue outfit post!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Morning all!Sorry for my lack of postage yesterday, I had a killer migraine! It was quite frankly rancid. But I'm back in action today and thought I'd post a quick pic of my uni outfit a couple of days ago, seeing as Anon quite rightly commented "Please do an outfit post soonies, been ages!" I didn't realised it had been so long, but it really has! The pretty...

Tuesday tip: Turn calories into candle pots!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();I've found a nifty way to banish the guilt after eating a Gu chocolate pudding. The title kinda gives it away! Yep, the little glass pots can be reused to put little candles in. You can fit bigger candles in it for a longer lasting glow, but I just happened to have some little tealights nearby. My friend Jen told me the other night that her family reuse theirs...
