So today’s blog post is a little late, but the reason for this, happens to be the inspiration for the post, and it will (hopefully) be up before midnight so I’m still claiming #BEDN! This evening was our good friend Dan’s birthday so Steven and I met up with him and his lovely wife Chloe for a meal. As these …
#BEDN: Perks of being a Grownup
As I wander around the haven that is IKEA, and marvel at the different receptacles on offer for storing toothbrushes, I have to admit, being a grownup can be fun at times. For example, the immense pleasure of having an empty wash bin or a newly-filled fridge, is akin to being bought a new Polly Pocket when I was 6. I know that that should make me sad, but I still feel like I’m holding on to the best bits of childish wonder too. I can eat sweets WHENEVER I WANT. How cool is that?! I could eat nothing but ice cream all day if I chose to!
#BEDN: Bethan Interviews Codiekinz
A few weeks ago, I text Bethan in distress at the thought that I will (probably) never be interviewed by Grace Helbig on Not Too Deep. Bethan, being the Grade A babe that she is, offered to interview me herself and write it up all official, like. I’ve been saving publishing it, until such a day that my brain is …
#BEDN: Weird Collections
Okay, weird confession time: I have a history of collecting weird things. I’ll start with the not-so-weird, like the pillow (Retro Thomas the Tank thank you very much) that was covered in badges. Anytime I got a badge, and for any reason, it would go directly on to the pillow. This did, of course, limit the ‘pillow’ness of it, but …
#BEDN: #LoveSUs
Although I graduated, like, forever ago, and really should let go of student life, when I saw the campaign for #LoveSUs, I just had to weigh in. Growing up watching rubbish TV, my understanding of ‘The Union’ was that it was a bar and potentially a radio station. Imagine my surprise, then, when 19 year old me rocked up to …
#BEDN: Why Mulan>Anyone
I’m going to go right out and say it: Mulan is the best, and most unappreciated Disney “Princess” ever. I know she might not be an official Prin, but girl saved China, she can be a damn Queen if she wants to! She’s a kickass babe, relatably clumsy, hilarious and all round amazing – So why have I never met a little girl who says she’s their favourite?!
#BEDN: All The Best Films Make You Cry
Today is another guest post from everyone’s favourite Ice Queen, Bethan (suck on that Elsa!). Don’t forget to follow her on Twitter @Beyfbaby In everyday life my general vibe is pretty stoic. I think it’s the eyeliner – the thicker I wear it, the more it absorbs my excess emotion and keeps me in check. But the truth is that I …
#BEDN: Beauty, or ‘Where was I when everyone learnt this stuff?!’
Today’s #BEDN prompt is ‘beauty’, and my first thought was to write something cheesy about how ‘beauty is only skin deep’ or something, but I haven’t had enough wine for that!
However, it did bring to mind the hoards of Zoella-esque Beauty Gurus, with their ‘on fleek’ eyebrows and ombre lips and smokey eyes, and yet as we have seen here, I haven’t got a bloody clue! Regular guest blogger Bethan is my own personal beauty guru and every time she answers my panicked texts (wtf is an eyelash primer?!) with cool calm confidence, I wonder where I was when everyone else was at ‘how to be a successful woman’ classes?!
#BEDN: Lush Spa – The Spell
When the lovely people from Lush Liverpool called me out of the blue to invite me to try a treatment at their spa, I almost cried. It’s been a really stressful few weeks and a spa treatment was so welcome in my life! They recommended ‘The Spell’ which is a gorgeous treatment focussed on banishing worries – something that I …
#BEDN – What’s your Expertise?
I didn’t officially post on Saturday, but the prompt was ‘What’s your expertise’ and I thought that would be a really fun thing to write about, so I’m cheating a little and moving it today.
