Super Brief Update!

What a summer it's been! (not weather like) EMOTIONAL! Break ups, makes ups.. the lot! At least I have a uni course to look forward to & cannot wait to get started! Anyone who's done a course on Open University get in touch I need advise!! I just hope I have the motivation to complete it! and not drop out or quit like I did when starting at Bournemouth.

Boyfriend Jumper Day

We all have those grim days where we have nothing to wear, our hair is uncontrollably frizzy with a mind of its own. Overnight we have somehow gone up a dress size so clothes don't fit and don't flatter you in anyway. Your make up looks miss-matched and just doesn't seem to want to stay on your face! To make matters worse you don't have enough time to fix it as you are rushing out the door to catch the bus. What do you do? ROCK IT! Seriously, work with it not against it, for some strange, unexplained reason we all have those off days.




  • Skinny jeans and oversized BF jumpers can be sexy! All people will see are those gorgeous pins and assume it doesn't stop there - the rest of you is just as great! No one has to know ;)




  • Go for a naturale look. Do you really have time to cake for face? Just dab some foundation on and your all set to go.




  • Bad hair day. Do Not fret! There is a simple way to fix this too :) CURL your hair. You've already got volume put it to good use. BUT always use hair spray, you don't want it going flat later on in the day.




  • Chipped nails My nails constantly chip & peal, I end up using nail varnish every other day just to maintain one colour for a week. Solution? Do your nails at work. I always bring in a nail file, nail polish and a top coat to make it look professional. What's even better is that you can let your nails dry whilst typing away at work and not worry about it!






  • At the moment I love the Revlon Tropical Temptation colour (093)

    The transition from teenage to adulthood

    Now, I have always wanted to blog, everyone's doing it so why not see what the fuss is about, right? So having finally found something I am comfortable sharing with the world wide web - Embarking the Journey of Adulthood. I shall begin.

    We all go through the same changes we all need to embrace and accept. It's a shame but it has taken me a while to accept that I will never get my size 8 figure back, once your hips start widening there is no going back! I am now a size 12 a 10 at a push ;) and you know what it's Ok? To be honest with you I am most happy now than I was a smaller size, I used to find more imperfections than I do now, crazy huh?!

    Learning to love yourself is a big step, it does take time to adjust to all these changes. It's even harder finding yourself & learning to ways to express your personality. You realise you can no longer dress yourself in ribbons ie. Polka dot bag with ribbons across it, ribbons in your hair, on your shoes... I mean there's nothing stopping you but it's about finding the more mature & sophisticated you. So you can imagine how hard it was to accept when I could no longer wear ribbons and get away with it.

    Onto more "serious" stuff, RESPONSIBILITY. "What do you mean I am old enough to clean up after myself?! AND do the dishes! " It is most likely what your inner child is telling you as this change happens. It sucks I know.I quite used to like just dumping my laundry in the basket, within a day or two it came back clean & ironed, MAGIC.  But you know what? It's not all that bad - you pick it up & get used to it, you sort of have to when you move out. (That's a whole new blog) ;)

    Keep on smiling
