Frilly Times and Food!

Hi guys!

Sorry I missed yesterdays food diary, I was so tired and just didn't have the energy!! But here is a blog post of my fun times today, plus food I have eaten!

It was time to go round my friend Kiri's today! She is a lolita so she has lots of lovely wigs, so I HAD to chose one to go with my outfit :D I love wigs, but I don't own any T3T I chose this lovely lilac one to go with my dress!!

We went to a little film thingy to watch A Level films and vote and listen to writers from TV, it was quite cool and very interesting to learn about the film/tv/script writing industry! Before we hoped on the minibus, we had to take full body shots though :D

She went in 'casual' lolita outfit, with a long wavy wig :D And a very cute bear hat!! I love lolitas, they are so cute <3

I wore a kinda rockabilly retro look, in my new dress from Dorothy Perkins and the wig!! I love this dress, I want many more like it <3

After the film thing, we came home and now we are chilling out. I am watching her make a lolita dress, because she is just that awesome that she MAKES HER OWN DRESSES, while I blog and go on deviant art!

But down to business! Food diary time!

Skinny sprinkles with milk = YUM

Glass of water

Cup of green tea with lemon and small sugar

Breakfast: Honey on wholemeal toast with vitalite spread

Grapes

Lunch: Home made salad (rocket, spinach, carrot, spring onion) with prawns and tomato and chilli salsa

A slice of 'Herman cake (small)'

Dinner: Buffet! Carrot sticksx2, pepper slicesx2, small salmon bites with cream cheese x4, samosa x 1

Another slice of Herman cake and a hot chocolate (naughty!)

Various glasses of water during the day (I forget after the first one to count!)

Its not too bad, considering Wednesday is my worst day for food! And I resisted the slices of Victoria sponge at the buffet!

We are all ready for bed now, just chilling and listening to Lord of the Rings audio tapes :D

Weight Diary Week 1 Day 1

Hello every one! As I said in my recent update, I will be documenting my weight loss and how I am getting on each week! The days may differ, due to my location, so updates will either be Monday or Tuesdays for the main 'weigh' in, and every day I will try and post a 'food diary' entry (plus photos if I remember).

This week will be the first updates! Hello! I suppose I best start with the embarrassing bit: my measurements ToT These will be updated each week!


Weight: 14 stone 1 pounds/ 89Kg (urrrggggg -_-')


Bust: 37 inches/94 cms
Waist: 34 inches/86 cms
Hips: 49 inches/124.5 cms


My height is 5 foot 4 inches/162.56 cms, so that means I need to lose weight and soon, because I am walking into a whole host of health problems if I don't! I recently lost half a stone, but put it all back on -_-' Annoyed with myself doesn't cover it!


My problem areas are generally my arms, belleh and legs, though I don't mind having big legs/hips/butt, as long as they are toned, which they are not! Plus I have back fat, which I really don't want and it makes me cry.


SO, in order to lose that half a stone again, and more, I am putting myself on a diet. And today was day one. And I don't feel too bad :D I have had cravings for sugar/chocolate all day, but I have been like NO, MONDAYS IS NOT A TREAT DAY. Plus when I think I want something (like earlier on, I wanted an ice lolly cause its HOT) I think to myself; what will I gain from the food? Has it any benefits to my health? If it don't (which ice lollies don't, baw!) then I won't have it! 

I recently won a box of Skinny Sprinkles the other Friday and I got them on last Friday, so I decided to start them today! You are mean't to drink 3 a day, but I am too busy to have my lunch time one, so I did 2 today! They sure do work! I felt more awake and alert, and I felt fuller too! I barely managed to finish my dinner, which was a small portion (though it was so nice, I HAD to finish it, I just had too ;D ) So hopefully, these guys will help! 

You basically pour the mixture in and stir it in water till its about right, then drink! It smells like strawberries and tastes like strawberry medicine. It's not really a meal replacement (more like a snack one) or you drink it 20 minutes before your meal so you feel more full up. The fibre in it expands in your stomach! And its got good stuff in it too, as well as caffeine (so don't have it too late!) 


Food Diary time! Now, bare in mind this isn't a 'diet' diet, its a healthy eating plan, to sort out my sugar cravings and make sure I eat proper food and get my daily intakes. I will be trying to keep up with tracking stuff on My Fitness Pal, but sometimes I am lazy and don't update things, pahahaha!


Skinny Sprinkles as soon as I get up


Breakfast: Tesco Pomegranate and Raspberry Wheats with rice milk, and a small glass of cranberry juice. I know it sounds like a lot of sugar, but its not that bad :P And its low fat, and keeps me full for aaages!


Snacked on grapes


Lunch: home made salad; tuna, rocket, red onion, carrot, spinach and spring onion with a boiled egg. This was DELICIOUS OHM NOM NOM. I love home making salads cause you can put what ever the hell you want in it!


Snacked on 3 cracker breads with a thin coating of Vitalite and Philadelphia Sweet Chilli spreadable cheese.


Dinner: home made pasta with prawns, mushrooms and red onions in a home made cheese sauce (Chilli Philly) topped with a sprinkling of cheese. It was a small portion so it wasn't too bad :P AND IT WAS SO NICE


Snacked on an apple


Drank: multiple cups/bottles of water, 2 x Green teas, 1 x Ginger and lemon tea, 1 x Peppermint tea


Because I was out and about today, I generally wasn't still for that long. I had college for a couple of hours in the morning, then walked round town, before going to my dads for lunch then heading home, where I did some washing and sorted out my drawers. I also started the day with 10 squats so I wasn't too sedentary!


Thus ends the round up for today. I feel full and content and not having cravings any more, so a good start! Oh, it looks like my fitness pal just crashed, so I don't know if I can put all my food diary in today, but I think I hit my targets!!


For a bit of visual, here is a recent photo of what I look like. Obligatory scenery to detract from fat person:

Life Update

Hello every one!

I know I know, I have been away for sooooo looooong, but I am making another attempt at this blogging thing ;)

This is just a quick blog post to say hi, I am still alive! And to let you know what I have been up too!

I am nearly finished with my first year of college now! I have finished most things, except waxing, which I am not keen on, because I love relaxing people and making them feel better with massage and manicure, things like that! I want to have my own spa resort later on in life, named The Lazy Cat Resort! I still have a year left after this though!

I have a jobby! It's only a part time jobby at Primarni (Primark/Pennys), but its awesome and I love it, and it brings in the money! I started early May and it is a permanent job, and I have also applied for a second job at another place, but that's a secret shhhhhh

In weight terms, I have lost about half a stone! I say about because I recently went to Crete, then the week after I saw Nate and the week after that I had PMS soooooo, I have probably put weight back on but I am working out this week and eating less again and I will be weighing myself Friday and restarting my journey with you guys! That will be on Fridays!

I am also going to my first festival in August too! WOO, READING FESTIVAL HERE I COME!!

Now, I must go to bed as I have to be up in the morning for college!

Evening Look ~ Make Up Class

Hey guys! Some of you might know that I currently am on a course at college doing Beauty Therapy Sciences Level 3, first year! In this course we learn all sorts of salon treatments; manicures, pedicures, massage, eye treatments, waxing and make up! On Fridays, we are doing make up at the moment and this Friday, we practised an evening look. Now, we take turns every lesson, so some lessons I am the model and others, I am the MUA!

This Friday I was the MUA and my lovely friend Alison was my model! I decided to go with a slightly bronze look, building up browns of varying shades and a touch of black in the corners. It's not too out there, but its stand out enough to be evening make up!! On her lips I mixed a coral shade with a sheer pink over the top and a touch of highlighter on her cupids bow.

We have to practise coverage and techniques, so we apply concealer, foundation, shader and highlighter, blusher/bronzer, eye shadow, eye liner (which I used a touch of on the outer corners), mascara, eye brow pencil and lipstick. Applying make up on some one else is harder than it looks, but I think I did well with this look and its fun doing it!! Next week some one else is working on me, so you will get a photo of my face and what ever she does to it, haha ;)

The kit we uses is a college kit; S Colour Salon System

What do you guys think of my make up look and have you ever applied make up to any one else? How did you find it?

Do you like reading?

Hey guys! Sorry its been over a month! I've been for ever busy with college and all sorts! I have also been very lazy and low on energy, so forgive me for that!

Now, to the subject of this blog post!

As some of you might know, I like to write, mainly fantasy stories! I write a lot of different ones, but at the moment I am focusing on one certain project, called High School Horrors, which I started in 2009. It's currently made up of 23 'parts' and is still going. The reason it is in parts is because I write as I go along and upload a bit and a bit each time, on deviant art! Now, like most things in my life at the moment, HSH took a break for a couple of months, just like my blog and drawing and every thing else. But it is now BACK and I have promised myself to focus on it more! I am writing this blog entry to introduce you to the story a bit and just to see if any of you are willing to give a bit of time reading an amateurs work! Since it's split into parts, you don't have to read it all in one go, but a bit at a time!

High School Horrors is about a group of four friends who end up at a weird school at aged 18. Here they learn the truth about the world, and themselves; magic is real and they are very much part of it. Several different races live on the planet, hidden as humans, and a whole need world, an alternate world, is accessible to those who know about it. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing new to our heroes. A terrible enemy, soldiers made of pure darkness, invisible evils and even the undead are what they have to fight against in a tale of fantasy, magic, love and discovering who you really are. And sometimes, that is not a good thing.

If any of you DO take an interest, you can also follow updates on my other blog, Kitty's Nerd Stuff, which I will be posting this post there too! Also, I would LOVE to hear feedback from those who do read, so feel free to leave a comment here, on Deviant Art or on the facebook page!! I love all comments, as I hardly ever get any to do with my writing!

Do let me know what you think <3 This project is my creative baby!

Recipe! Make cheap Pizza awesome!

Have you ever had a lusting for pizza but can't afford the cost of a cheesy topped slice (or 8) of heaven? Well I am going to show you how to spice up a cheap 63p pizza with the help of a bit of cheese and some frozen veg!

What you will need: A cheap pizza. I have a 63p Asda Smart Price Pizza here!! You will also need some cheese (ready grated or block, to be grated, what ever you have!) and some toppings of your choice! I've ransacked the freeze and I have some frozen sweet corn, onions, peppers, onions and prawns! Obviously you can put on there what ever you want, you can even just add cheese with no other topping!

Start off with your plain pizza! Looks a bit boring at the moment

Pop your toppings on top if you have gone for some. Start with the smallest things first, leading up to the chunkiest things at the top. I did onions, sweetcorn, mushrooms, peppers then prawns here.

Chuck on as much cheese as you want! I am a cheese-a-holic so I love lots and lots of cheese! The cheese can be your choice, I have grated mozzarella here!

Pop your pizza in the oven for how ever long it needs. Due to the fact you have more on there, it will probably take longer than says on the packet. I tend to cook it until the edges are getting brown and crispy and its hot in the middle (I stick my finger in but if you have a safer method I suggest that ;D I don't burn very easily!)

Take your pizza out the oven, let it cool down for a bit and the slice it up! And here you have a delicious cheesey yummy 63p pizza, jazzed up to YUM status!

Do you do some tips and cheats to spice up cheap boring food? Let me know! And let me know if you try this!

Magnificent Mondays!

Hello every one! As you know, Mondays can be droll days, the first day of work/school/college. But for me, they are marvellous! I am one of the very lucky people to get Mondays off and I love it! I either spend my Mondays in my PJs or with one of my friends!
This Monday I spent the time with one of my besties, Rachel. She popped round at about 11, meaning I had to get up early on a Monday for once ;)

My make of the day was just a cat eye flick and some red lippy;

We spent the first part of the day taking every thing out of my wardrobe and drawers to do a Spring clean of my clothes!! She let me know what I should keep and what I should chuck, and I still ended up with a bigger Keep pile than Chuck haha!!

We took a break at about half 12, to pop into Waterlooville to grab some lunch at the local Wetherspoons! I love it there, the food is always so good! We both had the same thing, though I had the Vegetarian version; Sausage, beans and chips!

Rachel with her sausages

Me with my yummy veg sausages!

The Wetherspoons was new so I snapped a couple of pics! I saw this lovely chair that I was very tempted to take home with me;

And some old fashioned cars and photos on the walls all around;

Check out all the lamp shades too!

There was some lovely wood detailing too, it was almost like eating in a forest, it was very cool, the kind of effect I'd love to work in my own place!

Pretty! Rachel decided to get a dessert too and she picked cheesecake. Wetherspoons cheesecake is THE BEST CHEESECAKE EVER. So Rachel kindly let me have some, the bits that she hadn't covered in chocolate sauce!

So rich, so creamy, so YUM!! Once our bellies were full, we had a little walk round ASDAs and then headed back home to tackle the piles of clothes lying about! I successfully transferred over from my Autumn/Winter wardrobe to my Spring/Summer wardrobe, YAY!

The good thing about clearing out all your drawers and things, is that you find random items you forgot about it, like this lovely Skyrim hat! Me and Rachel both took turns in looking like we were going to slay a few dragons;

Since I also made a lot of room in my drawers, I decided to shuffle things about and move all my make up and nail polishes to the two small top drawers! I counted my nail polishes while I did this and I ended up counting 57!! And I still want more haha!

Just before this, I did Rachel's manicure and she was waiting for them to dry while I did this. I turned around to find her like this!

Comfy Rachel? She left soon afterwards as it was close to five and she had the hayfever, so wasn't feeling too good by then! When she left I popped some washing on, tidied my room up a bit and took photos for my clothes sale!! I also got a good bit of news in the post, as I got a tax rebate! WOO HOO!

Do you ever have good Mondays?

STAY BEAUTIFUL
