Song of Childhood

I haven't been blogging for a while due the the amount of uni work I have to get through.  Luckily for all you lovely people I have finally finished my animation.  It is based of a poem called Song of Childhood.  Contrasting the carefree nature of childhood with the vices of adulthood.  The scenes then reverse, symbolising the reverse time and starting anew...well thats what I tried to achieve.  It also features my own dulcet tones and my face, which makes me cringe a bit...but oh well

To the people in my life

I haven't posted in a while, due to the influx of animation and dissertation craziness of the past couple of weeks. I wanted to take time out of my busy schedule to talk about the most important people in my life.

1. My mum.

I swear she hasn't aged a day in 20 years.  I know its cliched by she's my best friend.

2. My sister

She's too damn pretty for her own good!  But I love her anyway :)

3. My dad

The man behind the camera.  Taught me how to work hard.  A man that has worked his arse off for 30 years to provide us with everything we needed.

Plus he rocked an awesome mustache during the 80's :)

4. My neice

Words cannot explain just how much I love this little girl :D

4. My boyfriend

He's been the most amazing boyfriend for the past 5 years, seriously can't image my life without him.  Been together through thick, thin and dodgy haircuts :D

We all need people in our lifes that get all through the crap bits and i'm lucky to have 4 of the most amazing people in my life.

Love you all

Inecto Pure Coconut review

Sometimes the most expensive products aren't necessarily the best and Inecto products are the perfect example of this.  As a natural redhead, my skin is notoriously sensitive and when my sister recommended Inecto I was slightly dubious.  But these products are a godsend! They are natural, have a really pleasant coconutty smell and at 2 pounds a pop, are really inexpensive.  The facial scrub in particular is great at leaving my skin feeling really clean and it kind to my skin.  I would highly recommend buying anything from the range.  They even do dry hair shampoo, and as much as I love Bastiste, it does not have the unpleasant chemically smell.  It kind on my skin and on the pocket.

It is stocked in Savers (a much better shop than Boots in my opinion) and Superdrug.

Seriously buy these products, you won't regret it.

DIY Glitter sunglasses

As anyone who reads my blog knows, I can't resist a bit of glitter.  When I saw these Miu Miu beauties, which I can only assume are a bit on the pricey side,  I thought to myself, "how hard would it be to customise my old sunglasses?"

It's so unbelievably easy to achieve the look without spending any money, using only a pair of old primark glasses and a glittery nail polish of your choice.

All you need to do is paint your sunnies, its as simple as that!  Sadly the pictures fail to show how sparkly they are.  But trust me they turn out really glittery.

After taken pic with the glasses on, I realised they inadvertently matched my nails.  Well I did say I liked glitter!

Sparkly mani

I'm not usually a fan of french manicures as they always conjure up images of overly styled WAGS.  But after viewing a blog by The black pearl I decided to try a sparkly one as I can't resist a bit of glitz.

Inspiration





The polishes I used.  The models own one has lasted for about 3 years!



My attempt

Overall I'm really happy with the result.  They remind me of the outfits on Strictly Come Dancing, but whats wrong with that?

Bargain of the Century

As everyone I know will testify i'm a avid supporter of the flat shoe.  I'm either living in my black New Look boots or my trusty M&S brogues.  But today I had a lapse in judgement and was overcome by girly lust when I saw these...



Boots-Office

 I just couldn't resist these and at 6 inches high, I can barely stand in them.  But I noticed they were 105 pounds reduced to 12, all my common sense went out the window.  And that price i'll be carried around on a throne if I have too.  Either that, or my man can just carry me around...actually on second thought, where's my throne?
