Body Diversity Within The Social Media

Hi peeps!!

How are you all? It's been a short while since my last post which has been due to lack of inspiration for blogging. 
After many conversations and recently being inspired by fashion magazines, America's Next Top Model and browsing in clothes stores, I've made up my mind of the path I want to go down in life. I want people to feel inspired, encouraged and supported in following their goals. I want to live a good example that no matter what life throws at me re; my health issues, barriers and hurdles. I also want to see more diversity within social media, fashion industry, music/television industries and the different brand companies. 
In the last year or so I have seen more diversity such as Winnie Harlow, Lauren Wasser, and Ashley Graham who are well known models. There was the time when Katie Piper had her catwalk show celebrating diversity which included one of my friends. I actually went to apply but the dates were much too soon for it to have been possible for me. I hope one day that there won't be diversity but everything mixed with one another. 
I have lots of body deformities; double curvature of the spine, severe flat feet and I'm very slim. Some would say that I'm underweight and it's true, I am. However I am trying to come to terms with this and learning to accept my body for the way it is. I'm coming to the realisation that if someone does have a negative opinion on it then that is their problem. After all, we are all different shapes and sizes. Who are we to judge someone on how they look?! We are our own worst critics for body shaming and we should definitely not criticise someone else's body. Everybody has a body hang up whether it's just the one thing or a multitude of things even those that are married to celebrities for example the world's biggest boy band members' wives. When I was younger, I used to buy those gossip magazines but stopped as I couldn't take seeing those 'hot or not' columns anymore. I thought 'how dare they?!' What's really important is how someone carries themselves and their actions/behaviour, not how they look. 
I'm going to leave you with the photo below, but if you want me to post more about body positivity/diversity in future posts then be sure to let me know. Anyway that's enough from me and thank you for reading this post. I shall see you all in my next post and never forget how amazing you are ❤ xxx

Child Prodigy

Image
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

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

How I Created This Eye Look!!

Image
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
