Lazy Internety Tuesday

Hello there!! Well Tuesday (yesterday) was a pretty chilled out day! I got some blogging done, made my facebook page (see to the right!) had a lovely lunch and then spent the afternoon eating cake and sorting out online stuff!!

Let start from the beginning then, shall we :D I wasn't expecting to go any where so I got up a bit later, at 10am. In the morning I started on creating my own (Kitty Bonkers) face book page for my fans to get close to me and be able to talk to me easier, and also so I can get your feedback!! There should be a box on the top right of my blog where you can clicky and check it out!!

Unfortunately I didn't take many photos yesterday, but I shall describe the delicious chilli, cheese and garlic dough balls I had with loooovely garlic butter and guacamole dips, which I had for starter. Then the yuuummy jacket potato with plenty of juicy prawns mixed in with marie rose sauce and what was left of the garlic butter spread on the potato. Such a good lunch, its making me hungry just thinking about it!

I didn't have a dessert, instead, I bought a Victoria sponge for me and my mum to share! From Costcutters, its soooo nice, filled a plenty with cream, jam and light and fluffy, so sweet!!

The rest of the afternoon was spent fiddling around with my facebook page, doing information on a bunch of Role Plays on the forum I belong too (I moderate the RP forum, yes, I am a nerd) and making characters and generally moderating. I also got on with some blogging and reading!! Pretty chilled day.

I did do hair and make up, since I was going out, so heres a picture of my face of the day, will do a proper make up blog on it later if you guys want ~ <3

I look a bit squinty, I don't know why *sighs* Today, I hope to be a bit more productive on the creativity front, I might just avoid the internet for an hour or so tonight to watch Avatar ~ The Last Airbender eps and draw!!

STAY BEAUTIFUL

Kitty's Sunny Weekend + GLASS IN MA HAND

Hello my lovelies!! I am blogging today about my weekend! I thought, since I try and fill my days up, that maybe they are worth blogging about these days!

SATURDAY




On Saturday, I had arranged to have lunch with my friend down Commercial Road, Portsmouth. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures apart from my out fit haha! We had a look round the shops, she bought a dress, I bought a ring, and we sat and had lunch in Tesco's Cafe, which was nommy! Their cake was nice! In the evening me and another friend went to a LUSH VIP party, which was lovely! I love LUSH and the smell of their shop! It may be a tad expensive, but I think its worth it! Plus, some of their stuff is under £5!!
Unfortunately I had a little accident in the shop. I had a wine glass in one hand (from the complimentary drinks) and had some heels on. My heel caught a wet patch and WHOOSH, over I went, glass smashed, alcohol straight in my face! My eyes stung, that was the first thing I felt! Once I had been helped to a seat, my knee started hurting and I now have a lovely bruise! I was asked if I was cut any where, and at first I was like, I don't think so....then I check my right hand!
Looks worse than it is, they were only small cuts on my hand where the glass had cut it! There was a little bit of glass in there, which the first aider managed to remove and then put some plasters on!
The top one was the worse one, as it looked like the glass had sliced into my hand at an angle! None of them needed stitches, so all was well! And for falling over, the staff gave me (and my friend) some freebies! I felt a bit guilty, so I was very thankful for the free box and the couple of extra goodies I got!
I got a free cotton bag and everything! My dad said, next time, break an arm and see what you get! Thanks dad >_>

SUNDAY


On Sunday I started off the day with a lovely long LUSH bath and came out smelling LOVELY!! My dads living smelt of LUSH all weekend because that's where all my products were! Now my room smells like it ahaha! Anyways, after that lovely bath, I got ready and met up with a friend in Gunwharf. We then proceeded to spend the next hour walking along the sea front to South Parade Pier!! It was sooo warm, but there was a lovely breeze coming off the sea, so it wasn't too melting. The only problem was the fact it was so crowded! Sunny Sunday in Portsmouth? Lets all go down the seafront! I swear, the entire population of Portsmouth was down there! It is a lovely scenic route though, with an old battlement, a fun fair and various other attractions.
Right near South Parade Pier, me and my friend found this lovely little garden, almost like a secret garden, and sat down to appreciate the scenery and eat some lunch!
This was what drew me in at first. I was like, 'Oohhh whats that? Looks like a fountain!' We followed the circular pathway round the fountain and pond, to find a mini waterfall and some steps leading down wards
Following the path down, we found a smaller pond and a garden filled with dragon flies and butterflies. There were a couple of people around, but it was pretty quiet, considering how close it was to all the crowds.
That was quite a small dragonfly, there were bigger ones flying around!!
On a little walk through, past a marina, there is this floating rotten platform. Its been there a while, and so have the pair of swans that are often on it. I think they must of been there for about 4-5 years, and I was glad to see both of them there, since last time there was only one! And swans mate for life, so I got sad, thinking the other one was dead! But they are both alive, yay! I couldn't get a very good picture in the sunlight, but the two white blobs are the swans:
There was a small event called 'Art on the Pier' going on at South Parade Pier, which is what me and my friend wanted to go too, so we had a look round the 15 artists tables and then had a chat with one of the artist my friend knew.
After that, I went home and painted my nails then had a lovely roast dinner! It doesn't matter how hot it will be, I love my roasts!! Me and my dad had it with some lovely smoked salmon, which was delicious with gravy!
In the evening we went to the post office club quiz, which we proceeded to lose, though we did win the Bonus round!
It was a pretty good weekend all round! Got out and about and had a fun time!
What did you guys get up to this weekend just passed?

On the Cheap: Ebay is your friend!

Hello my lovelies! How are you today? Yes, finally bringing this back with a whole new post! Ebay is your friend! And boy have I felt that recently!

Imagine this heart is ebay
This post is mainly going to be about cheap fashion, as I think buying clothes cheaply is just as important as everything else! As you might remember, in this month of July I am doing a challenge where I only buy clothes and a few other things 2nd hand!! So obviously, I looked to ebay, as well as Charity stores, which are also your friend, but that's another post ;)

Many of you know of ebay, in fact, I would be surprised if you haven't! Ebay is the largest online auction site and have websites for all over the world. You can buy ANYTHING on ebay, and I mean ANYTHING! There have been stories of people selling their virginity! I don't you can sell your pet on there...at least, I haven't seen any!



Now this post is about buying clothes on ebay. Especially if you are on a budget, like I am! The first thing I say about buying clothes on ebay is know what you want!! Say you are looking for a lovely new dress, then look for only dresses!
Another tip I have is only bid on one thing at a time, as you never know what you might actually win and you don't want to risk getting a bank charge for going over your limit!
To further help yourselves, I suggest giving your self a budget for each item. I never go over £10 including p&p if I am buying something second hand. I rarely go over £5 if I can help it!

You can find the loveliest things on ebay, often by sellers who haven't even worn them! Heres a couple of my recent purchases:
Gorgeous Pink Nighty  ~ I only had to pay £3.20 for this, plus £1.50 for the P&P and I was thrilled! If you are familiar with ebay, you will know about 'Snipers', which are buyers that put a bid in at times even as little as 10 seconds left, VERY annoying! I was highly expecting to be outbid (since I put a max bid of £4) or sniped on this and I wasn't which made me so happy!!

Lovely Silky Nightwear ~ As you can see I have a thing of buying more lady like night wear at the moment, I am highly bored of unattractive tracksuit type pants and a baggy t-shirt! I don't mind t-shirt nighties, which are very comfy, but I think that might be the limit for sloppy night wear for me now! As you can see for these, I payed pittance. £3.20 all together, which I think is brilliant!

Shoooes ~ Now, some of my older followers might think, huum, I recognise these Kitty! That is because my faithful pair of M & S shoes that I have loved all the way to New York and back are falling apart. It was a sad time for me when I noticed a hole in my shoe, realising I will finally have to throw them away. So I search ebay for a new pair of rubber type shoes for when its raining and LO AND BEHOLD I spot these. I nearly cried with happiness! As you can see, I was quite desperate to buy these, though my current pair are size 6, they are a bit on the tight side so fingers crossed, 7s should be okay! I put a bit more money into this bid, just because I was so desperate to buy, but I wouldn't of gone over £8 no matter how desperate! Someone did try to snipe me at the last moment, but my max bid buffed them out, YAY!



Now, I will warn you, darlings, of the sometimes dangers of buying/selling on ebay. I have only ever had one bad encounter, out of many so don't be too scared. But CHECK THE RATINGS! And read the negative ones very carefully if there are any! I feel, if they have over 10 negatives in 1 month, don't buy from them, especially if one of the negative comments is about an item the same or similar to what you want to buy!

That's it for todays 'On the Cheap' I hope you enjoyed my little insight to ebay and the wonders it holds! What do you think of ebay, have you bought anything nice from it recently?

STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Hello Darlings!


As you know, I have been off for a bit! At first I was just busy, and a little sad. Then I was a bit lazy, and then I was sad again! I have decided to be very honest with you, my beloved followers, and tell you I am prone to depression, as I am sure a lot of you are! The smallest thing can get me down and make me not want to put any effort into anything! At the moment, it is because my and the beau have had a small falling out, and, being a long distance relationship, there is not much I can do but wait till he wishes to speak to me again. This makes me feel terribly sad and alone inside, which used to stop me from doing anything. But not any more.



Over the past couple of months, I have come to the realisation that this will not do! I am 23, a growing woman, no longer a sulky teenager, and I must begin to act as such. I am not being harsh on myself, I am the kind of girl who is overly emotional, and its terrible and I fight against it. It will no do crying in front of people any more!

So, I begin my journey into becoming a woman. My own woman. And not just a woman, a lady. My views can be somewhat...archaic and some of you might not agree with me, but please do not judge me! I will be happier this way, I can promise you! I don't wish to be skinny (though I do need to loose weight darlings!) or a model, but myself, a gorgeous woman, just like all the other women out there. Because, we are all gorgeous. And we are all goddesses inside! And does a goddess let these things take her out!? NO!



I hope this doesn't sound preachy, I truly apologise if it does! I am simply speaking about a change that will come over me. I will speak better, I will not swear (well, apart from maybe when I stub my toe, as I often do!), I will not act unlady like in public (I am sure even the most lady like of lovelies passes wind at home!) I will dress presentably (apart from Sundays, when I can slob out) I will wear lovely make up (again, apart from Sundays) and I will take note of blogs like this (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!) : To Be A Lady



As I said, to some, the ideas seem archaic. To me, they seem simply brilliant. Its the life I have been searching for (I've tried hippy, emo, goth, tom boy, everything! But I am happiest in a pretty dress and lovely make up!) and I am determined to make myself happier!

Heres what I plan to do (A proper list!):
Do my routines properly, no faffing!
Lose weight! I am severely over weight for my height!
Look my best
Wear what I feel most comfortable in! I love wearing dresses, heels, even under dresses (which I will slowly invest in) I would never wear anything I am uncomfortable in, its just not me!
Take a day off! Sundays will always be my day off <3
Try to be more understanding and less judgemental. Theres too much negativity going on these days without us ladies ripping each other to pieces and being arrogant about those less IQ inclined (I have a short temper when I think people are being particularly slow, its quite horrible!)
Be more forgiving, more loving. Everyone deserves love.
Make my environment happier. I need to do my room as I don't think it really reflects me as a person
Become a Beauty Therapist either in Make Up or Spas

I do apologise for such a long post. But even thinking about it makes me swell with happiness inside. I know I can achieve my goals, because, if you try your hardest, you can achieve anything!

If you lovelies have any hints, tips, advice or even just thoughts on this, I would love to hear them!

I am not keen on negative comments, as I am emotionally fragile right now, so I beg you keep them to a minimum, but if you really must comment negatively, please leave an excellent reason why!

STAY BEAUTIFUL
