But lets not forget a big trend for autumn winter this year is gothic so channel your inner witch with some black opulence but maybe leave your broomstick at home.. 

Summer Lovin

It's summer! So of course it's piddling it down making everyone damp and gloomy. But lets not this awful weather get us down, we need to keep our lips stiff and upper and keep occupied with fun things to do. Here are a few things that i hope you enjoy :) 

1) Host your own music festival. Get a group of friends round, get some alcohol in and bang on the tunes.

2) Good old movies. Watch your favourite  films back to back and indulge with some junk food

3) Get creative; make a collage, bake, paint or another kind of hobby. Or do some writing.

4) Be productive; it may sound dull but sorting through your wardrobe or sections of your house will free up space and you can sell unwanted things to make cash to do things when the weather improves!




5) Gaming be it electronic or board.




6) Beauty day, you can learn how to make face and hair masks out of natural ingredients that you can find around your house.




7) Make a den and have an indoor picnic




8) Make plans for when the weather improves or just get in touch with friends.




9) Read




10) Wrap up and take a walk, singing and dancing is optional.

Heard alot about this Elvive hair oil and hope to purchase it for myself soon (watch this space for a review). Rings! am mad on them and hope to invest in some more soon. Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

You've just lost your job, failed an all important exam or been dumped an will never love again. Yes life tends throw up these curve balls just to keep us on our toes and make us feel like the worlds against us and we can't go on.


But after you've gone through that crazy little rampage; drinking anything with some sort of percent alcohol, consuming anything in the house that is remotely sweet and/or fattening and spending that last bit of money on an oh so needed bit of retail therapy it's time for decisive action.
Having gone through a few difficult experiences this month i've found out/ done a few things that kinda seem to help.

Firstly- Write down all your problems that need resolving are there any obvious solutions?

Secondly- Talk to a variety of people; friends, family or a partner am not saying winge on about everything that seems to be bugging you in the slightest way but seek a little advise from a few different people. Even if it seems that what they are saying is completely useless and slightly patronising it may lead you to finding a resolution.

Next get googling chances are your disaster isn't unique and someone out there could give you some advise.

Yet take the appropriate action if your feeling unwell don't google because your computer isn't a licensed medic.

Also always remember not to get bogged down and into a rut. Stick with active lifestyle choices- Gentle exercise 
Get up early and be productive
Eat well; no not attempting a crazed, repressive diet but also don't be only eating crisp and cake.
Talk! Tell people if you feel down and keep in contact with friends even if you can't see them get the geg off them through email or text, they might be having a bit of crap time too.



And I know it sounds pretentious but calm down, you may feel like the worlds against you but remember there are people in a worse predicament than you.



Annnddd Finally Smile! 
Remember all the things that make you happy and stay positive. 


Sorry if you hate this post and think it's utterly crap but I hope it can be of some help to someone.

Modernity Vs Archaic

The Kindle Vs The Book

Modern technology has done a lot for society; mobile phones mean we communicate with friends instantly, computers let us get almost everything our hearts desire and talk to people from the other side of the world and scientists have found new ways of combating illnesses that used to be deadly.

However when it comes to something as classic as the book, is there room to improve?

The kindle and other similar electronic reading devices allow us to carry thousands of novels around that weigh less than one hardcover book. You can make notes, highlight and it can read to you. But thats it, convenient yes soulful no. It may sound slightly absurd but there's is no life or spirit or dare i say smell. Yes my complaint with this terrific gizmo is that it doesn't smell. 

It may sound bizzare but a few people have agreed real books have a certain allure, be it new or second hand they give off a buzz that the kindle would only give if it was wired wrong.

Yep yer can't beat a good ole book, curled up on the coach in front of a fire, outside under a tree, being read to as a child or reading to a child although the magic mainly comes from the stories we read not the actual book, being able to focus this enchantment on a object full or colour and images certainly adds a little majesty.
