Day 7- A Photo A Day
Day 7= Draw a small picture and take a picture of it.
I've been drawing this kind of pattern since i was 15 years old. Some one I went to school with used to draw patterns, I tried to copy her but decided to draw my own pattern and have been drawing this type of thing ever since. You'll fins them on my note pads and beware not to leave paper hanging around...i will find it hehe!

Skin care. The ins and outs :)
Hello readers,
Today I fancy talking a bout what makes us feel good, dolled up and ready to paint the town red: skincare, make up and the bits in between :)
Make-up...there is a vicious cycle which starts with make up. spots. We wear make up to look and feel our best but this encourages spots; so we cover up the spots with make up which gives us spots so we cover them up with make up...and so its goes on! But what can we do? A couple of things that i have found that helps is washing the face day a night with a light soap and using face powder rather than cream foundations so the skin can breathe a little. If you have any other suggestions please comment so we can all learn; whether its your favourite product or a tip like eggs in the hair to make it shiny!
Don't forget guys, especially with this on coming winter breeze, we're going to need our moisturiser! I personally use The Body Shop vitamin E moisturiser as it smooths the skin and reduced an itching of dry skin and adds a nice shean. However, it is a little thick and oily so i suggest using this before bed to give it time to sink in and then washing your face the next day.
Whats your moisturiser? The make up moisturising world has matured and combined with this product:
Garnier Skin Naturals, Miracle Skin Protector.
Enough of the face!
HANDS!!!
So I have to attempt to keep my hands nice and soft as I am currently training to become a massage therapist and lets face it, no one wants and sand paper massage! Its a little difficult keeping my hands soft at the moment because I am working as a spa assistant which is a glorified term for cleaner! My hands have become dry and coarse but i have found two great moisturisers! Hurrah!
This is the Almond Daily Hand and Nail cream from The Body Shop. It may seem strange but there aren't any warnings about nut allergies so I'm guessing that its just the scent and no traces but I'd check that! this is great for out and about but if you need something a little more heavy duty how about this:
The Body Shop, Hemp Hand Pretector.
Yes, I'm a fan of body shop products! This one is a life saver. It smells a bit like mud so the reviews are mixed but it helps your hands become supple and does great things for your nails. I like to use this before bed along side the Vitamin E on my face and I wake up a soft as a babys bum bum!
I hope you have enjoyed and this has helped. If you have any tips please comment!

Day 6- A Photo A Day
Day 6 = anything you want but photographed in landscape rather than portrait.
I was inspired by @CajameCreations blog: http://cajamecreations.blogspot.com/2011/08/let-them-eat-cake.html I just had to get baking! I also made flapjacks but somehow they failed to survive...hehe!
Ive topped my sponge with butter icing, mini smarties and white choc chips!
Yummy!!!

Wild life!!!
Ever since I was young ive been mesmerised by wildlife programmes from Attenborough to Steve Irwin. I love to find out about sea life along side land animals. I got the Life series for christmas last year which was made by Attenborough! Did you know he has been in film for so long that he has filmed in black and white, HD colour and even 3D!
I find this video from 2011's BBC Proms very fitting + hilarious!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Iv7hDxEso
On Sundays on bbc Oceans Giants is on. If you're interested in wild life this ones a smasher! So far it has covered Bowhead who live to around 200 years maybe more, the Orka whale, the Blue whale (biggest animal on the planet!). This programme has explored the intelligence of Dolphins aswell. Definitely watch it!

The Bowhead Whale!
This is the Boto Dolphin, found in the Amazon river.
The Narwhal whale, the unicorn of the sea!
Theres so much out there in the big wide world, lifes too short and too expensive to see it all but why not learn about it instead!
lots of love and knowledgy stuff!

Day 5- A Photo a day
Day 5 = free choice but list 3 reasons why you have chosen it.
This was a tricky one but i have chosen my favourite wooly hat! It would seem that summer has ended here in London and it was blooming freezing last night! I got this hat from Fat Face in Birmingham last December when me and the boyf went and stayed in a fancy hotel with ceiling to floor windows. This was for his birthday. Unfortunately it would seem the sea bass the night before disagreed with me so i sat in the hotel bed with my hat on eating a tub on Ben and Jerrys. Ice cream solves most things and the hat hat helped too!

Day 4 - A Photo A Day
Its day four for me in the photo challenge today which means photographing your favourite cup or mug which is easy for me as I definitely have a favourite mug which holds my much adored tea or hot chocolate!
Here it is :)
Yes, thats right. My KitKat mug! I love red, love chocolate and my family call me kitty, cat or squid...but thats another story! So this one makes me happiest. Also the red hasn't faded so thats a plus.
Oooh...time for a cuppa i think!

A photo a day! Day 3
Day three = anything edible.
Now, this something edible really could have been anything but it had to be this...ROAST DINNER!
Ive started a new job which is very physically tiring and theres not a lot of time for a proper lunch. However, my amazing mum dished me up this beauty to fuel me for a while when I got home. It was great! You cant beat a good roast. Stuffing is my favourite guys, yes..i would trade potatoes for stuffing! :O there, I said it!
Hehe!
I hope you're all salivating and have early/late roasties too!
