This weekend I was lucky enough to get to go to Slam Dunk Festival in Leeds. Check out my review, and some amazing pictures taken by Steven!
That time I exposed myself on a video… CRINGE!
Confession: I am rubbish when it comes to checking my Youtube videos fully before I upload them. I know I should, but I am impatient and I hate the sound of my own voice (contrary to popular belief!). Usually, this doesn’t cause any huge problems, however, earlier this week I uploaded a Lush haul. I was informed that I’d forgotten to put background music in, so I edited and uploaded again. I was then told that I had only changed the volume on half the music and therefore it drowned out my voice. So I edited and uploaded again. I figured it was third time lucky, until I gave it a little watch this morning and noticed a cameo…
Motivation! (Or, How I made Steven agree to getting a kitten!)
With us both having a whole host of creative and business endeavours, it’s important that Steven and I try to keep each other motivated. That is how, this afternoon led to Steven agreeing we can get a new kitten for our new house as soon as I reach 10,000 views on Youtube and 200 Subscribers!
Let me start from the beginning…

Tips from a Car Boot Queen! (Well… Sort of!)
I have always loved a good car boot sale! As a child it was a treasure trove of Polly Pockets and endless books. As a student it was a way of selling our stuff to pay for festival tickets. This weekend we decided to do one in order to help pay for our Disneyland Paris trip and to relieve the poor Mother-in-Law-to-be of all the stuff that’s been stored in her loft since we moved out. We managed to make over £100, selling things that would otherwise have gone to the tip, it was beautiful weather and we were there with Steven’s sister and her family so it was a lot of fun.
On the high of our successful sales, I decided I would pass on some of my top tips to you – so that you too, can be a car boot Queen!
Review: Lush Toothy Tabs
For a while now, I’ve toiled with the idea of LUSH’s Toothy Tabs, but I’ve always been too nervous. Having had braces (twice!) I’m pretty specific about oral hygiene. I just couldn’t believe that little round tabs could brush my teeth as well as the usual toothpaste I use. Here, I take the plunge in order to review these little tabs!
Job Huntin’ as a 20-Somethin’: What am I doing with my life?!
“What am I doing with my life?!”. Safe to say that is a sentence I have been saying a lot more recently, as the job hunt continues. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve not applied for a huge number of jobs, only ones that seem ‘perfect’, and I’ve not really received any rejections as such. So it’s not as if the job hunt is going horrifically, I am just slowly losing confidence. Perhaps not in myself, (I am wonderful), but perhaps in others’ ability to recognise this(!)
OOTD: Anniversary/Date Night/Proposal(!)
So, I’ve been planning this post since I bought the outfit, thinking it was for our two year anniversary date, however that night turned into our engagement too, which seems like even more reason to blog it!
Sunday blues…
Controversial opinion time: I hate Sundays. I mean, I really hate them. Saturdays, I love! But for as long as I can remember, Sundays have sucked. It’s not necessarily the impending doom of school or work the next day, or the pressure to start yet another diet on Monday, I just always have a rubbish feeling on a Sunday. If …
Why Wear a Hat Day?!
Grab your tissues, boys and girls, this one might get a bit emosh!
Way back in the Summer of 2010, before we even knew the other existed, my best friend Paul began to feel really poorly. He chalked it down to a tummy bug, but when the dizziness, nausea and headaches lasted for 10 weeks with no confirmed diagnoses, even with an appointment with a specialist, Paul started to think that this was just the way things were going to be for the foreseeable future.
