Hi peeps!!

How are you all?!? I hope you're enjoying this weather but drinking plenty of fluids so you don't get dehydrated. In this post, I just want to chat about something with you. I do hope you don't mind these type of blog posts from time to time. 
Recently I created a new Instagram account and it's mostly posts on beauty, fashion and body empowerment. I started doing the odd post on my main account but thought; hey why not do more of these but on a separate one so that you can reach to more people who are solely into these type of accounts. 
Ever since I can remember; I've had friends, family and even strangers compliment me on my clothes, accessories and my makeup. While I don't want to sound big headed or vain but I thought why not share my personal with you all. Also I love makeup and fashion so that's an extra excuse! 
Lately I've been thinking about when I've been asked to take part in a fashion show at the local college that I went to and I finally feel confident in that I would like to do it. The member of staff who organises it gave me her contact number to get in touch with her about it but this was about two years ago so gonna try and find out if she still works there. I don't want to be too forward in case they don't have it anymore and I hate talking on the phone. If there's any other fashion shows that I could take part in then that would be a great opportunity and lots of fun. 
For me; I love how you can create different looks whether it's makeup or clothes and accessories, it's such a wonderful and a fun way to express who you are. There was a time where I didn't feel confident in posting photo of me posing and thinking that my makeup skills wasn't that great but now I'm much more comfortable. It also shows how far I've come with my self confidence which is good. I also love to show that just because my hands aren't the steadiest and that my skin is loose causing my skin to move excessively easy along with the makeup brush, I can still create my different makeup looks. 
I also want to show that because I do have rare-ish connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), that I may be feeling in so much pain and fatigued, it doesn't mean that I don't want to look glamorous or fashionable. It would be great to be seen as a positive role for those with EDS and similar illness/disabilities. If I can get EDS and disability in a positive light within the social media (whilst being honest about the reality of living with chronic pain, fatigue and daily challenges) through fashion and makeup then that would make me such a happy person. I am however going to start contacting different brands/companies to see if they can help with some of my ideas. 
Anyway, I think that is enough from me for today but thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope to see you next time!! Don't forget to keep smiling as your smile may brighten up someone's day ❤️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
