What's Going On In My Life Lately?!?

Hey peeps!! 

Firstly; let me ask how you lovely lot are? I hope 2017 is being kind to you so far?!? 
This past month or so has been pretty hectic for me and if truth be known, I'm struggling a little bit physically. I started with my new support worker and already, I'm enjoying having her. I'm still getting to know her and vice versa, but we seem to be getting on really well. Together, we have started making enquiries about things that I would like to; for example, horse riding. 
At the beginning of this month, we celebrated my mum's big birthday and we had fun. My mum really enjoyed her few days of celebrating (and so she should, she deserves to be spoilt). We; me, my dad, my sister and my little niece took her to Oscars. As always, it was lovely. Then my dad took her shopping while I went with my support worker and then on the Saturday night; again she was surprised to see we had organised a little get together with close family. It was a good night by all! 
Today (Wednesday) it was my niece's first birthday and we went to see her so we could give her our presents. On the Saturday just gone, my sister had a little tea party for her. It was lovely. Ciara looked adorable in her little custom made fairy style dress and floral headband on. I'm so proud of how beautiful, kind, loving, funny and clever she is, even if she is just one year old! 
My uncle went into hospital today ready to have his heart bypass tomorrow; the closer it gets the more worrying I get. I know he is in the right place and it's a specialist heart centre. Hopefully he'll be just fine and he'll make a speedy but safe recovery. 
I've got a busy few days ahead of me so I'm looking forward to having a relaxing day in at home tomorrow. This brings me back to the point of me struggling; I'm still trying to adapt to being out of the house at least four days a week which is pretty hard when you suffer with chronic pain and fatigue. I have been getting a bit like I can't keep going but somehow I find the strength to keep on and moving forward. It does make me feel like I'm not a great friend when I don't feel up to going out to seeing them. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting up, getting ready, going out and then the days I'm not going anywhere; I'm like a zombie. This does affect my mental health so I try to look after myself in between; making sure I rest as much as I can when I can. 
I will fill you in on how my uncle is, what I get up to over the weekend and my upcoming meet up with a friend who I knew from Beaumont College on Monday. I'm also hoping my bestie has her baby over the weekend too as she's already overdue 😊 There's so much been going on, still going on and for me to hopefully look forward to. Anyway, that's enough from me for today and I shall see you all soon. Love ya!! 😘 Keep smiling no matter what is thrown at you in life xxx

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Child Prodigy

It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

How I Created This Eye Look!!

Hi everyone! I want to tell you how I created this eye makeup look on myself from last week. I think it looks really nice and quite natural which is great for every day style.  The products that I used are as follows; Rimmel UK - Pinkadilly Circus Eyeshadow Palette ‘Rosie for Autograph’ by Marks and Spencer - Cream Eyeshadow Stick GOSH COSMETICS - Forever Eyeshadow Stick Avon UK - True Colour Glimmersrick Eyeliner  Benefit Cosmetics - Bang BadGal Mascara  How I created this eye look . I started of by applying the the lightest shade which is a white colour all over the lid as a base.  Then using the light pink along the crease line and all over the lid. Starting from a third off the inner corner, I applied the slightly darker shade just along the lid.  Then with the darkest shade which is like a dark pinky/brown in the outer corner. This creates like a smokey eye effect. I didn’t think it was showing up as much as I hoped so I decided to apply some of the ‘Rosie’ Eyeshadow Stick in the
