My current little loves

Hi beauties!

This is an odd post! It's nit a piece on what beauty products I love or anything like that, it's a little mixture!!

So away we go:

My cat Jasmine is so adorable, she's paticular about when and where she's soppy and it fools a lot of people into thinking she's a meanie but really shes a big softie, she just doesn't like to be bothered a lot of the time. We are cut from the same mold and I think thats why we get on so well
*meow*

Health Kick! I'm trying to lose some weight for summer, I want to be able to wear anything without worrying about my flabby arms and such. So I've been using My Fitness Pal (such a good app) and been basically eating grilled chicken and a hell load of veg every night, it's delicious!!

Unfortunatly, I've now had to cut these out, but woah, they're amazing!
I prefer the Orange but I could just polish off can after can of them, these are very yummy but so sickly sour I can steady myself more!
It's a shame they can only be bought in 6 packs because I just want to buy one as a cheeky treat but if I buy 6.... i will drink 6 *blush*

Wiiiiine! Woah when did I become a wino?
I'm a cocktail girl myself, my girls love their wine and I could always take it or leave it, but recently, I've just been wanting a nice glass of wine! Is it because Summers so so near or have I turned into a grown up?

Watching my cat instead of TV.
This is my other little lady, she's called Molly and shes as mad as a box of frogs. She's a bit pshyco and a bit troubled but also very sweet and teeeeny tiny. She's so clumsy bless her that it's more fun to watch her prowl sometimes than watch TV cause she's bound to fall or something then give you an embarrassed look! hahah!

Yummy! Pigs ears!!!

I saw these in tesco and got so incredibly grossed out I had to take a photo!
Pigs ears? Hey, I'm all for using every part of the animal you staughter you know, but this was just something else!
Poor little pups.

New mascara day, this is always a good time, I love ripping open new packaging and it being all fresh and new, can't describe the love.

Models Own Polishes!!! I love the headkandi range, my favorites are the bright orange here and the bright red on my nails there so I thought the blue would be great... wrong. If you want me to go in to it let me know, but honestly, it was a disappointment. However, the other 2 colours are to dieeee for!

I rediscovered my Mac Viva Glam Gaga lipstick!
It was date night and I had really heavy eye makeup on and I thought my usual lipstick wouldn't go so I trolled through my lipstick bag and found this and thought "Ooh would it go though"

and wow. It was JUST the colour I needed.
Oh you.

Oh letters, you're so drunk. Go home letters. Go home.

A photo taken after our valentines dinner, we were stuffed, fat and dying. Aw cute.

Yay! I love loving things.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Marc Jacobs Sunshine Edition

So for most of us it's a typical Febuary, which means you've maybe just found somewhere to store those hideous Christmas gifts ready to re-gift next year, days are getting slightly longer and Spring is getting so close! But to the marketing masterminds its not February at all, to them it's already summer and they're all churning out their summer editions, hey, they're probably working on next years editions already!!. 

I'm never usually a fan of summer editions, I swear adding ginger to an already perfect fragrance just ruins it (more on this soon) ! However, these little beauties have converted me!

Marc Jacobs is a cutie, he knows what us girls want in a perfume; an adorable bottle to proudly display on our vanities and a gorgeous fragrance which causes people to ask that oh so important question; 

"what are you wearing?"

His designs pull you in and even if you don't like the fragrance you'll want to just to get your hands on the bottles.

Daisy Sunshine

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the original Daisy, I prefer fruity scents so I was so excited to smell this, and did it disappoint? No it did not!! Not at all!

My boyfriend LOVED this on me, it was fruity and addictive and surprisingly grown up for such a playful fragrance, it had an edible note I couldn't put my finger on but I really cannot wait for this to be everywhere, this is on my birthday wishlist!

Notes:
Top: Guava, Mandarin Orange, Red Currant
Heart: Lily Of the Vally, Lychee, Violet
Base: Woody Notes, Musk
(the ones in colours are what I think make it so yummy!)

Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine

Its... So... Pretty I can't handle it!!
I was going to ask for the original for Valentines day but then the boyfie and I decided to eat our weight in Frankie and Bennys than do presents. But now I'm so glad I wont be getting that one, this one blows it out of the water!!!

It's still got the similar smell but sometimes Eau so fresh can give me a headache if i'm not on top form but this i feel i would be able to wear every single day!! 

I just kept smelling this as I was wearing it, it's delicious!
Is it bad to get both for my birthday?!

Notes
Top: Strawberry. Apple Blossom, Pink Grapefruit
Heart: Rose, Jasmine, Violet Leaf
Base: Oak Moss, Amber

(the ones in colours are what I think make it so yummy!)

Oh Lola! Sunsheer

This one I didn't put on my skin, on the card it went almost almondy and so sweet it went bitter. 

I just can't describe it, it wasn't unpleasant, it's just not what I wanted to smell like!
It's a shame as I adored the orignial when it came out and wore it constantly but even that turns on me sometimes! Some of you will rock the hell out of this I'm sure, it's just not perfect for me.

Notes:
Top: Pear, Wild Strawberry, Raspberry
Heart: Magnolia, Peony, Cyclamen
Base: Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Vanilla

(the ones in colours are what I think make it so yummy!)

Looking at the notes now I feel I should in theory love this one, I might have to give it another smell and actually try it on, however I feel it might be the tonka bean that was turning! 

I'm surprised there wasn't a summer dot, that could have been cute! like an aqua blue colour with white and pink dots, never mind!

There are some exciting new fragrances coming out this year, of course there's your Armani diamonds summer 13 which is (SURPRISE) the same as last years but these are just something new and exciting to keep your eyes peeled for.

I've only seen these in one shop so far and thats the perfume shop, some have them some do not, but Boots will get them end of Feb so let the excitement begin!!

What's your favourite?!?

Will you be trying these?

With Love

Maybelline Colossal Smoky Eyes Mascara

Maybelline is one of my most trusted brands I've come to realise. 

I never thought too much about Maybelline and it's products, but then I realised the foundations I've loved and swore by for the last 5 years have all been Maybelline. My first mascara was the Great Lash mascara and I've repurchased that about, oh I don't know, a million times in my day?!

But as I started earning my own money and working amongst other brands I branched out and tried Yves Saint Laurent mascara, L'oreal and also found a new favourite and settled for a while with Boujouis Glamour mascara!

Unhappy about having to pay £11 every 2 months for my Boujouis Glamour fix, I really just had an urge to try this one.

I remember it coming out when I was younger and my friends sister had the orignial one. She said how great it was but when I compared the price (roughly £9 when I was paying £4.99 for my great lash) I never ever thought I would be able to afford it, aw youth.

So since this one is meant to be all dark and smoky, I thought i'd give it a try!

The wand is a natural bristle brush which i feel is good if you already have quite full lashes, it just helps to give it that extra oomph.

so here i did a swatch of the Colossal Smoky eyes on the left and Maybellines other popular mascara Falsies on the right to see if it was any darker or smoky.

Judge yourselves, i think it's pretty the same though...

(by the way I really dislike falsies :( )

My eye with nothing on my lashes at all.

Here I curled my eyelashes for 9 seconds with just a cheapy H&M eyelash curler

With a few coats of Maybelline Colossal Smoky Eyes Mascara!

I'm quite a fan, I really like the look it gives my lashes.

I do feel it doesn't hold a curl so much and it would be a good idea to take the tube out and about with you and throughout the day just top up a bit here and there, but that's something I can live with.

I feel that for me, this is good every day, at night I could use darker colours and make it more smoky but for daytime it's just dramatic enough. 

The last time I went out for a meal with friends I went to put my false lashes on and then realised that with this mascara I don't feel I need any, so I put them down and just went out with this on! 

Plus people have been asking if I have falsies on anyway, result!

I really recommend this mascara, I believe its £7.99 and you will find it anywhere there is a Maybelline stand!

Go run, go, quick go get it!

Have you tried this?

What is your favorite mascara??

A real man.

My niece was unfortunately born with a Father who didn't really want to stick around. My sister became a single parent after her boyfriend left her when she was 7 months pregnant, my niece has been raised by my sister with a lot of help from my mum as they both live at home. 

Since she’s only seen her father a handful of times when she was a couple months old, she does not know him at all, and in a household where even the cats are female, she doesn't have a male role in her life which is where I believe my boyfriend Adam comes in.

This is a photo I just found tucked away on my computer of my niece Molly and my boyfriend Adam. He is the most gentle, kind hearted man I have ever met. Adam is the only male she has seen every day of her life, I hope with him around she won’t really care about her dad. I didn’t see too much of my dad growing up, but my Grandad stepped in and gave me a strong, kind, male role model to look up to & I never really cared that my dad couldn't be there for me as I never felt like I missed anything you know? So I know that it can be done. I believe as long as you have someone who shows you not everyone's the same, then you’ll be okay. I'm hoping just by Molly seeing that there are men like Adam in the world that she can trust and will love her then she’ll be fine. 

I thought this was such a sweet photo & I cannot believe it wasn't one of my favourites already. 

I’m not saying Adam is a step in dad by any means, he’s only 20 for crying out loud & there is also my brother in law who proved to be there for me a lot growing up which I'm sure he would do the same for Molly too!

Molly and Adam at the park

Just chilling!

Molly Hooked herself an Adam!

So I just wanted to write this post as it's something i've never quite addressed and to thank Adam for being the man he is, as if dealing with me isn't tough enough, but dealing with my crazy family and all the babies who insist on dribbling on him and never ever once complaining.

Thank you for giving Molly all the strong warm cuddles she hadn't got from her dad and for knowing just how to turn her crying into happy giggles. 

You are a real man.

The Half Blood Prince... Or Princess!

Sqweeee! I hope that's not bad to say, you know the Harry Potter reference because that's the last thing I want, I love the Royals! I love Prince William and I love that he married someone so cute at Kate, oh just look at them will you, they're the sweetest.

I was so unbelievably happy to find out there is a royal bun in ones oven! I do feel bad for Kate though, morning sickness like hers must have been just the worst start to a pregnancy and then for everyone to find out when you're not ready, I couldn't imagine how annoyed and upset you'd be. 

But in true Royal fashion, she rocked the hell out of it and even LEFT hospital today looking like this:

for real, she was born to be a princess. 

After my operation last week I left looking like this:

...big difference.

Anyway, I am so excited, I really want her to have a little girl, how cute would that be!

Congratulations to them, they seem like such lovely people, they deserve a great pregnancy and happy times!!

also...

you go Willy, you pimppppp!

Are you excited? Aren't they so sweet?

have a jolly olly olly halloween!!

Helllllooo sugar! Long time no speak, I apologise profusely! 

I was struck down with a killer case of a sicky bug! Oh it was dreadful but dramatics aside, I'm on the mend! I did not miss a day of work so therefore something had to have time off and that was the Internet! 

However, Halloween came and I had a Halloween party to attend, I never do much for Halloween but this year I knew people would be all dressed up and actually, it would be embarrassing to not do the same.

Every year I do manage to chuck on some ears and draw an eye-liner nose on myself but this year I wanted to step it up a notch. I wanted to dress a bit sexy so Ann Summers was my first stop, i typed "cat into the search bar and up it popped with the one outfit I KNEW I needed!

Google Image

Just look at it! It has a tail for crying out loud!!!

It was in the Ann Summers sale for £20 but then with the delivery charge it would be about £25... not so good for a one night thing right? So being a bargain hunter I went for ebay! I found a size 14 for £12 or something and nabbed that right up! I was so excited when it came to my door and I promptly stripped to try it on! It was a nightmare, it was teeny (yes blame the clothes) then the zip broke. How fat did I feel right then lets all think about it - ahaha! So off it went back to the seller and I had to decide do I get a 16 or 18? Time was getting pretty short with a week to go till the party and my predicament was would a 16 not fit and I couldn't wear it full stop or would an 18 be too big and just look like a sack of potatoes. 

I couldn't find any of those sizes for any lovely prices online so I had to order from Ann Summers but a little trick I learnt folks was if you go into the store and order it through their online system (literally let me behind the till to Internet shop it was so weird) they give you FREE home delivery!! Hurrah, I hate paying delivery, bloody hate it, so it was a result for me.

One very bad thing about Ann Summers delivery is that I received an email thanking me for my order but not a dispatch email so all week i was worried about where the devil my package was!! Eventually it came Thursday (i had ordered it  Friday) for my party the next day! & it fit!!!

Look at my kitty in the corner !!

 

My friends went as a police woman (officer naughty!) and a sailor girl!! 

The party we went to was INSANE. She went all out, i wish i took photos! There were gazebos everywhere with sheets up covered in blood with knives and stuff! And they had this chill out room which was all UV and had a TV with the ring montage thing on a loop! creepy!

Mitch glowing away..

MEOW

Aw this guy is so sweet! We used to hang out and had a nice little chat it was lovely!

Officer Naughty and her prisoner!!

I left early as I had a raging headache and I wanted my bed but it was a good night and I can't lie, I loved people telling me how good I looked since they last saw me. MAKE UP <3

How was your Halloween guys?? What did you dress as?!?

EEEE now Halloween is over it's CHRISTMAS TIME <3

xoxoxo

cheer up darling it might never happen

Oh my gosh, I have so many posts about beauty and reviews but seriously, right now, this cat is the one. Look at it's little grumpy face! I'm not sure if it's edited but I'm begging nobody to ruin it for me, it's amazing. 

I saw this little guy and had to show my boyfriend and he thought the same thing as I did, it is me in cat form!

I'm a happy person but a grumpy one! I lose my temper quickly and pull a weird bulldog face when I don't get my own way and this is that face!! How amazing it is?

Aw, anyway, I got a few laughs out of it so hopefully you will too!

Sorry my blog is cat themed, complete accident!

I hope you're all well and I seriously will get my bum in gear and post something real!

Toodles!!

Cat sitting!

Image: Tumblr

Hello everyone! Not a beauty post today but just a life post! Sorry if these bore you! 

Recently my boyfriends grandparents adopted a cat from the blue cross! They went with the intention of getting a dog but his Grandad and I both had our cat hats on so did our very best to get everyone into the little kitty building and far far away from the dogs. 

Now that might sound mean but I just am not a dog person. Dogs always know how I feel as theyre aparently so amazing at reading human emotions so why do they not smell my catloving from a mile off! I would one day like a small toy dog but big dogs are just not in my future (sorry boyfie!). If i had a lovely big farm house I would get a farm dog but in reality, my future will be a two bedroom terrace house. Not much dog room.

Anyway! So as we went into the cat kennels my boyfriend and I were instantly drawn to this lovely fluffy monster called Pickle. She was the "cat of the week" and when we asked why the lady (who had a total eye on my boyfriend) said that she had no interest in the whole 6 weeks she had been there. I was actually punched in the stomach. Pickle was the one!

Look at her! She is so perfect! she has the fluffiest tail ever!
So it didn't really take much convincing once we'd all had a cuddle of her but they were deciding between two cats and I was dredding they wouldn't pick Pickle! But luckily, Pickle got adopted!

My boyfriend and I decided we liked the name Pickles much better so all it took was for us to call her Pickles around his Grandparents a few times then voila! Name officially changed!

So a few days after she got adopted his Grandparents went away so we were asked to cat sit! This meant Pickles and I got some amazing bonding time! She had the best temprament of any cat I know including my own 2 kitties! 

She purrs at everything and is still young enough to be playful!
She's only 1 year old but as my boyfriend put it the other day "I'm glad she's still so young so we have lots of Pickles time together" Ain't he soppy?

This was a month or two ago but a few days ago they went on another holiday and I got another chance to cat sit dear Pickles!
What I love about cat sitting at boyfies grandparents is that I can almost pretend that we live together! They have a giant house so It's fun to just pick a bathroom I want to use (there are 3) or raid the freezers (there are 2) or just have space to cook in a huge kitchen and sit in front of the tv just us, oh and Pickles!

When my boyfriend went out to work I had the option to just stay there or if i wanted to go home. I decided to stay as all my stuff was there anyway but I had a lightbulb moment as my best friend lived a few streets away so I wandered over and had some cheeky 4pm drinks! 

as it was her parents anniversiry the night before we had yummy champagne!

I've been having a lovely few weeks! Adams Grandparents are going away again on saturday so I think I may be back to do some cheeky Pickles sitting!

I adore her so much she is such a pleasure to be around, even when she kept throwing up I offered to clean up! I don't even do that for my own cats but it could have been because Adam and his brother were screaming like girls at the sight of a little sick, Oh and because his brother went to fetch BLEACH to clean the carpets. Honestly what do boys grow up learning?

Sorry I really have babbled on an awful lot!

If you're interested in adopting a pet go have a look at the blue cross website HERE

I got my two cats from kittens and I can tell you I will never do that again. To think there are cats like Pickles out there just needing a home is so sad. So many people forget about adopting and they get forgotten. But this site is good as you can actually see what pets they have before travelling down so it's good to keep your eye out if you're looking for a new pet!

Please tell me stories about your pets! I am an absoloute cat lover and Pickle fiend!!!

What pets do you have? Have you ever adopted? Tell me :)!
