Week in Photos

This hasn't been the best of weeks, I won't delve into it for obvious reasons, but I've had a really tough time dealing with some personal issues. Finished uni for Easter, which is such a relief, but the bad news is I'm still on my placement, which I'm trying to complete as soon as I can!
Couldn't be happier we've had gorgeous weather this weekend, so nice to be able to go out without a coat or scarf on!
Going to Splashworld in Southport with Jack and some friends tomorrow, we haven't been in years so it should be fun :)

Went to the Salthouse with my mum and Jay for tapas - yummiest thing ever, we ordered soo much! Their potato bravas is amazing.

- More products I have used up this month, not doing too badly!


Recieved my first Graze box this week, it all went in the first two days. I loved everything apart from the wasabi peanut crackers, but I can give them to my dad next time.

- Spending lazy afternoons destroying "share size" bags of Kettle Chips and watching Jersey Shore.

- Bought a couple of bracelets and a headband from H&M, just something cheap to cheer myself up.


- More books to read. I love American Psycho and The Talented Mr Ripley as movies, and Chris Jericho is one of my all-time favourite wrestlers, gonna enjoy reading this.


- On our placement, Rob & I went to Martin Mere to interview them about their new canoe ride, and got to have a go ourselves - so funny! Had a potter round the rest too, the otters are so cute.

- Spent last night in Heather's back garden with chippy and drinking cider and Cosmopolitan from a can, the height of class!

Two songs I love at the moment, especially LFMAO's. We were playing it at Heather's last night, definitely getting us in the mood for the Turkey holiday! :D

LMFAO, Party Rock Anthem

Counting down the days

This is definitely my lazy way of keeping up with posting, but I cannot wait for June to come round. I know it's silly to wish time away, but over the next two months I have a lot of things I wish I didn't have to do. Mainly job hunting, completing my work placement and doing the god awful presentation to accompany it - I am alright at speaking to groups when I'm comfortable with said people, but I do not like the tutor in charge of the work placement assignments, I don't even like walking past him in the corridor. We had to do presentations every Tuesday last year with him, and I still hate them, didn't help at all :/

But enough rambling, I'm dedicating this post to my second home, Cornwall, mainly Perranporth.
I'm going back there early June with Jack and his family. This will be the fourth time we've gone, and I'm yet to get bored of the place.
It's just so beautiful - the beaches are gorgeous, the sea is clear, the beach we go to has a pub on it - how cool is that! And everyone's so relaxed and just takes each day as it comes. I'd love to own either a crafts or surf shop there, or a little tea room by the beach. I'm pretty jealous of the lucky Sam who lives in Cornwall, and as you'll see from her posts, always has a lovely smile on her face :)

The following are photos either myself or Jack have taken - please don't take them without asking first!

Can't leave a holiday post without adding a little cheery music. Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes is one of my favourite songs, so relaxing and happy :)

Do you have somewhere you consider a "second home"? :)

- Been rewatching yet more Supernatural - Dean's such a babe, "I call this one 'Blue Steel' "
- Also on the pile has been The Proposal and Two Weeks Notice - Sandy B is hilarious


- Products I've been able to use up over the past fortnight - some weren't on my original list but I rediscovered some bits and bobs that were half full.
- More books to read and re-read - I love the hardback/gold cover of my Dorian Gray.
- Been bringing out the ol' cd's this week too - Michael Jackson, The Sounds, Tenacious D and 30 Seconds to Mars.
(The above links are to my favourite songs by those bands, click them and have a good ol' boogie!)

- A better/clearer photo of my newly done poster wall.
- Two tops I ordered from New Look this week to wear tucked into denim shorts when it's nice and hot out. I'm undecided on the American flag one at the moment, but wore the black one for my cousin's birthday meal.

- The lovely Hayley sold me her spare copy of The Humming Bird Bakery Book. She reccommends the Mojito cupcakes which I'm excited to try, along with the Butterscotch Marshmallow bars, nom!

- Current nails - Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream/Shatter top coat. I'm pretty late on this trend but I love it
- The black top I mentioned above in action, apologies for the crap blurry photo, was the best of the bunch. I've also dyed my hair a dark browny red which you can sort of see in the photo too

- This is me and Danni having a boogie at our friend Heather's gig. It was the first gig of her new band, My Awakening, and I'm very proud of her, they did really well, especially when they were a cheery pop/rock band in amongst metal bands with huge guys

#90 - RIP Elizabeth Taylor

I was shocked to hear that the legendary actress, Elizabeth Taylor passed away today at 79.



Sadly she had battled health problems for years, including breaking her back five times, and was confined to a wheelchair in her later years.
Most recently succumbing to congestive heart failure and was admitted to hospital mid-February for monitoring.
The cause of death has not yet been comfirmed.

I always think of her in her fantastic roles in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and of course the iconic Cleopatra, where she starred alongside Richard Burton, who she then wed in '64.
She was also known for her generosity, founding the American Federation for AIDS Research, and raised $50m for the cause.

You can see the overwhelming response and sadness her death has caused on the internet, mainly Twitter, with #RIPElizabethTaylor becoming a Trending Topic, with countless celebrities posting their condolences and thoughts for one of the world's favourite actresses.

She will be sadly missed but thought of fondly.
She was one of the last true Hollywood icons; such an inspiration to so many people<3

Mike found broken glasses, he said, and I quote, "I feel like Elton John, but I don't wanna bum men." What a charming sod.

Alex's cat, Cambelly wasn't amused when I wanted to see him in the mini sombrero. Ole!

Wednesday was a catch up night with my girls. We had huge plates of nachos, chicken wings, waffles and as seen above, took funny photos on Danni's camera when she was occupado :')

Making rude objects with the salt...

Andy didn't appreciate me trying to make him like an ethereal Wonder Woman.


Spent yesterday morning redoing half of my poster wall. Crap photo but will post it properly later.

The goodies I promised myself for after I do some uni work. The Crunchie biscuits look soo nice.

Snack pot of roast onion mash. Looks disgusting but it's gorgeous, doesn't taste like crap ready-mash either. 69p from Asda, bargain!
Spent last night in Jack's, we watched Family Guy & America Dad while being really silly. He let me sleep in this morning while he went to work. Doing uni work now so I can get ready for Heather's gig in time. She's got a brand new band and this is their first gig so I'm excited to see them play :)

What've you been upto this weekend? :)

My Week in Photos

This should have been posted on Friday but I didn't have the time and felt slightly wrong for posting something so menial and seemingly self-indulgent when part of the world has been destroyed.
But here's some photos of my week, nothing too interesting :)

- Mucking about instead of working.
- The copy of an Ellie Goulding painting I bought from a girl in America. I forgot I ordered it so was over the moon when it arrived, it's gorgeous :)

- Items I'm determined to use up in March - seems like a lot, but most are things I use daily, so it should be no problem, and hopefully help me stop buying unnecessary items just because they look pretty!

- Watched alot of my Sex & the City and Supernatural boxsets this week; two things I can rewatch over and over and never get bored.

- Bargain boots from Primark, £8 down from £15. They're so comfy I've worn them all week.

- This week's reading - Look, Glamour, H&M catalogue and the last part of Russell Brand's book.


- I'm slightly mad when it comes to making lists, I make one for everything! This is my unreadable notes for my next project, and lists I've made to keep me on track.

- Barry M Vivid Purple and my favourite food at the moment - the rice snacks are about 49p a pack in Home Bargain so I stocked up for over the weekend, and my mum's got me hooked on Strawberry Liquorice, nom!

Spent Friday night in Jack's, watched Knight & Day - definitely reccommend! Lazy morning yesterday then RWA show in the night, stayed in Jack's again. Very lazy day today with him, got up at 2 and had breakfast. Was lovely as we never get to spend a whole weekend together due to his wrestling schedule.
