Simple Sunday and Mostly Monday

Time for a catch up! Sunday and Monday were pretty chill days, with a few bits of hecticness thrown in!

Sunday ~
Sunday's are my chill out days and I like to start the day (or sometimes end it) with a lovely long bubble bath, filled with Lush bath products!!

Lotsa bubblleessss

Relaxing bath is not complete with out cup of tea and a book!

I like to paint my toe nails on Sundays, so I did a proper pedicure! I soaked my feet in a warm bowl, used a pumice stone on them, moisturised them and then painted my toe nails! I used those toe separators so I didn't get my toes messy, as sometimes they stick together and I get nail polish on my skin!

Messy table not optional for pedicure

Blue tootsies!

I need to redo the tips today though, because I went swimming Monday LE SIGH. Why can't they make a chlorine proof nail polish D:
I also spent the day colouring in the picture I was working on:

Every fortnight, there is a quiz night near my dads place and we always go if I am at his place. We don't aim to win, more to have a good time and see my Aunty Jane!

I usually have to write!! I don't mind though, sometimes I know the answers, but other teams know more!! We did end up winning the Bonus round though, which wasn't too bad!! Its always a high light of the weekend, going to the quiz!!

Monday ~ 


Monday started up with finishing off my picture (finally)

I then met up with my friend for swimming!! I like to go swimming once a week if I can, and hopefully, one day, I will pay for a month!! Then I can go swimming as much as I like all month!!
After swimming, we sat outside and had some lunch, enjoying the warm day!

My friend Zara comes with me to swimming a few times, she enjoys the couple of hours doing it, even if the swimming pool is full (like it was yesterday) of kids!

That's the swimming pool behind Zara!

After lunch, Zara had to leave, so I ended up staying and enjoying some time reading my book and enjoying the weather!

After I got home, since I was in the drawing mood again, I decided to draw something else, an entry for a competition on deviant art! It only took me the afternoon and evening to complete, so its a bit scruffy;

Line art and beginning of colouring

Finished image!

It's meant to be a God of Light, in the form of a Griffin! It was fun drawing something I don't usually draw and I enjoyed it, and also it shows I can finish a drawing in a day haha!!

Any ways, that was what I did on Sunday and Monday, not much, but I enjoy my quiet life style!! See you tomorrow!

STAY BEAUTIFUL

HELLO and Thank you! Plus OOTD!

I would like to start of by saying a whacking great big HELLO AND THANK YOU to my new followers <333 I hope I am not too boring for you and you enjoy my bloggy!!

Today, I had to go to North London for a family get together, as it was my Step-Grandfathers 80th birthday!! I don't mind going there as much as I used too (maybe I am growing up LE GASP), it probably helped I was in good spirits today!! I met a lovely old lady I hadn't seen before, called Moira, whose parents were Irish but she was born in Yorkshire! I love talking to elderly people, I find their stories fascinating (I am weird like that) because you are learning about a different era! I wish I was born in the 50s sometimes :( THE CLOTHES!!
Anyways, I always try and look nice when I go up there, so I put on one of my favourite longer dresses:

I love this dress, I got it in a sale at Peacocks!! Not too sure where the jacket is from (for one who goes shopping a lot of the stuff I wear can be a few seasons old!) and the shoes are from Dorothy Perkins! My favourite shoes to wear at the moment as they are SO COMFY and high, perfect for a little short person like me! (5 Foot 3 inches, I am a tall short person)

I just adore how pretty that necklace my mum picked out is, might become my fast favourite for a while!! I could stare at it all night, even the photo! But I won't, I have a blog to write!! I decided to match the earrings and the bracelet to the pearl like beads round the necklace, I think it matches pretty well!!

You can see the colour of this coat better in this picture! I love it so much, its just the right length for me and its soooo pretty and fitted in the right places!! I adore it!! Pink is definately invading my wardrobe at the moment! Remember my pink Winter Yumi coat?! Now I have a S/S one to match! (kinda, the Yumi one is even more girly and pink, but twice the price ;) )

The journey from Hampshire to North London is a long one and we are often bound to run into traffic:

Le traffic

Twas around Hindhead, stupid Hindhead, be less trafficy already!!

You can tell I was bored (and very hungry) as I took this photo of a lovely sign I was staring at for ages

I couldn't read my book as my migraine that nearly killed me on Friday is still lurking vaguely in the form of pressure on my brain, so it hurt to read :( Sad times

The most interesting thing on the journey back was seeing a magpie attacking a buzzard, maybe trying to get its food? That magpie was either mightily brave or mightily stupid!! Shame I couldn't get a picture :(

Anyways, thats it for tonight folks, enjoy your bank holiday (if you are in England) or enjoy your Monday (if thats even possible)

Stay beautiful!

Things to do on a ME Day!

BEFORE I START, I would like to credit the lovely Rae, from Sickbunny for this blog, and the ideas are mostly taken from the blog that should be found HERE if the link goes well haha! This is basically my own twist on it! And don't worry, I got her permission first!!

Every one should have a ME day once a week. For me, its Sunday. Sometimes I add an extra one on Tuesday, but its mostly Sundays. I HEAR BY MAKE IT LAW TO EVERYONE TO HAVE A ME DAY.
And heres some things you can do to make your me day you! I do some of these things, some of the things I took from Rae's post!

One: Watch Favourites in Bed

I love it when a plan comes together

I love watching TV or films in bed, how about you? And what a perfect thing to do on a You Day than relax on your bed, with a cuppa or hot chocolate, and watch your favourites!! Personally, I will be watching Ghost Rider today in bed! 9pm, Channel 5 for those in England. I usually leave my laptop alone when doing this, and just enjoy the film!

Two: Play A Game!

Beat those stress trolls!

In the world of electronics, we all usually have some sort of gaming platform in our possession, from a phone, to your laptop/PC to the current gen consoles. I personally have my DS and Xbox 360 to game on, and I find  even fifteen minutes of Dragonquest on my DS is soothing to my soul. I find games like DQ and Fable 3 and Final Fantasy (any apart from the MMO's ) to be the most soothing as I can get out my frustrations in life by beating up monsters and baddies!! It may sound geeky, but gaming is a good stress reliever!

Three: Bake!

Nom nom nom

I love to bake. LOVEEEE. And making your own little pieces of nommy is extremely satisfying! Make that cake that you haven't dared try yet! Bake a batch of cupcakes and shake with friends over a cuppa! I suggest hand whisking, as now I am hooked on it as you can beat out any stress and you have to concentrate on the whisking, rather than anything stressful around you!

Four: Get Creative!

Draw anything that makes you happy!

Write. Draw. Sew. Glue. Anything! Take some time to make something pretty. I like to write and draw and also it can be productive if you want to finish something creative off ;D I have many self inflicted art projects that I like to doodle and sketch through the week!

Five: Paint your nails

001110101010110

I paint my finger nails Mondays, so I do my toes on Sundays! Painting your nails is so girly and I don't know about you, but painting my nails a lovely colour always brings a smile to my face, even during the week when ever I see them!

Six: Take a Long Bubble Bath!

Make up and hair ribbon are optional.

DO THIS. If you do just one thing from this list DO THIS. At 8pm or when ever you have time in the evening, run the hot tap, go over board with the bubbles, even chuck in a Lush ballistic or other brand melt, and relax among the fluffy bubbly fragrances and do what ever you want. I like to apply a fifteen minute mask and shave my legs personally. And read. Reading in the bath is a must. If you like candles, light some fragranced candles. Like music? Bring a portable music player with speakers (like a radio) and play some music or tune into your favourite radio station. This bath time is YOURS and yours alone. Frisky baths with the other half are for  other days ;D

Seven: Read a Book

Or read many books. Its up to you!

Sitting some where comfy and reading a book you love, or exploring a new book, is love. At the moment I read 'How to Walk In High Heels' during the day, an old favourite book of mine, read it if you haven't, and will be starting 'Inkheart' tonight for an hour before sleep. I love digging in to a good book right before bed, I sleep better!

Eight: Go for a Walk or Bike Ride (weather permitting)

Wish it was sunny all the time!

I wouldn't suggest going for a walk up a big hill like I did last Saturday, as those things aren't for everyone, but just being out and about for half an hour or more in the fresh air makes you happy. Especially if you aren't walking anywhere in particular. Or bike riding. I love riding my bike in Summer, but I've only ever gone for a walk in Winter. Perhaps I should try my bike too!!

Nine: Write a Blog

Anywhere anytime!

You don't even need to publish it. Just write some things down that you would want to share, even if you only jot them down in a journal, maybe to share for another day. Sharing your thoughts and feelings on the interwebs may seem a bit daunting, but most people out there are actual darlings and you shouldn't be scared of them!

Ten: Dance like Crazy to Your Favourite Music

Friend optional

Jigging around in your room, even for ten minutes, can be so much fun and also counts towards a little bit of exercise ;D I like singing and dancing along to Disney songs personally as theres nothing more uplifting than your favourite childhood film!

Eleven: Tidy up some Clutter

My room never looks this tidy..

Now, I know what you are saying. Hang on a minute Kitty, tidying isn't relaxing!! BUT WAIT. You know that feeling when you've tidied up that bit of clutter you've put of for ages, and now it looks all nice and neat? Thats a GOOD feeling, isn't it! SO embraaace it and you will feel much better not having to worry about that untidy bit.

Twelve: Make a schedule for the Week

Make your own, its more fun!

Another groan I hear?! Well, don't you just hate when you don't know what you are doing or you haven't got anything done that you wanted. Planning out your week will help that! You can get things sorted just by doing this in half an hour. You can even make your schedules pretty (I will show you tomorrow) by using different colours! Pin it up somewhere you can see it everyday, and you will know exactly what you should be doing and when! Useful if you often forget appointments and things!

Things I suggest NOT to do on a YOU Day:

• Watch the news. Bleh, always boring or depressing anyways. You can always catch up tomorrow
• Stress about stuff. That stuff will still be there Monday, don't worry about it today!
• Force yourself to do anything. If you don't feel like it, don't do it! I don't do everything on this list every Sunday!
• Get up early if you can help it. I have one day a week an alarm doesn't wake me up. Sunday is it!
• Go shopping. I don't suggest doing this at the weekend at all. I loathe week end shopping crowds. My fav day to go is Thursdays or Tuesdays
• Diet. Eat the hell what you want, as long as you aren't shoving ten full sized chocolate sponges, I am sure it won't hurt your diet.

I hope you liked my list and thanks again to Rae for letting me pinch her ideas and for thinking this up in the first place!! Remember to check out her blog!!

Friday Fun ~ Sunday Haul

Hello bloggers!! Long time no blog!! Well all is back on schedule today!! But more of that later I think ;D
I haven't been up to much apart from Friday and yesterday, since I got back from my boyfriends Thursday, moped most of Friday and just stayed in all Saturday!!
Friday evening me and my dad went to a family party to celebrate my Godfathers grandsons 4th birthday! He looked so cute in his little Buzz Lightyear outfit but I forgot to take a photo!! *shot*

This is my wonderful not scary friend, Lou :D

My dad and my Godfather have been friends for years and years, but my Godfather lives near Dubai for work at the moment so when they get together they hang out and act like kids!! For example, my Godfather threw some shoes at me haha!! And when I went outside I found them playing with glow sticks...

Godfather looking at me, Dad closest to me.

This was right before they threw them at me!! I am so abused T_T
I dressed in a blue summer dress but I forgot to take a picture d'oh!! But I took a silly picture of me so you can kinda see my blue sparkly make up!

Neeerr

Half way through the night, Lou decided to fall on the floor and the kids (and the bigger kids) jumped on her!!

After most of them got off!!

Ahhh I kinda did get Archie in his Buzz Lightyear outfit after all haha!! Lou was just giggling all through it and so was Archie!! You can see the feet of Brooke in the left shes so cute!! Luckily she was wearing clothes here, when we first got there, she promptly took off her Spanish dress!!
We wore the kids out after Kurt kept running around the house being chased by them and we played balloon catching with them. They fell asleep on a blow up bed people blew up for them.

Awwww

So cute!! We soon left after that and went to bed!
As I said Saturday was boring and I just stayed in all day!!
Sunday, my mum booked a personal shopper and we went to Debenhams!! I love that shop but it can be a bit out of my price range, so I was lucky my mum was with me this time!! Here is what I wore:

Yumi dress, M&S Cardy

 We sat in this little room with its own changing room and free tea, coffee or water!! I chose water as they had no green tea, my mum had a cup of tea. They are getting a suite specially for the personal shoppers soon but its just a building site at the moment!!

Three mirrors on the right wall, the changing room through the door!

Once we told her what we like, she went out for 15 minutes and bought a rail in of amazing clothes!! I was a bit dissapointed she bought in some lovely clothes for me but the style what they are, they didn't fit over my hips!! I am small on top and big on the bottom and she didn't seem to realise that!! But she was very good for my mum!!

Big rail of clothes!

My mum eventually picked out three dresses, two for her holiday to South Africa and one for a party!! I got a photo but it fuzzed a little cause my mum moved!!

I love the detail on it!!

Now all was not at a loss for me!! When we first came in, she had a maxi dress over the hooks from a previous shopper which I loved the look off!! I tried one on and it looked really nice and the Personal Shopper found a great belt to go with it!!

Love that print!!

belt to toughen up girly outfits a bit!!

And my now prize possession which I ADORE and fell in love with as soon as I saw it. A dark purple satchel bag. OMG I LOVE IT

My pretty baby

This bag is going to be looked after like no bag before it!! I want to keep it for ever and ever!! Its so lovely and soft fake leather and metal detail on the straps and the clasp and it has two pockets inside with a inner zipper pocket on one of them and a place to put my phone!! Ahhh I love it so much!!

Lovely colour too!!

Now after a lovely shop, I relaxed the rest of the day!! I decided to paint my nails in GOSH's Holographic!! I love the colour!!

Little flower detail

Look how pretty it is in the light!!

That sums it up for the past couple of days!! Today I start college again so I will probably take photos today!! And I go back home tonight so I might be able to update my blog tonight!! If not, I will see you tomorrow morning girls and boys ;D
