Welcome to 2018!!

Hi everyone!! 

Happy New Year to one and all!! I truly hope that this new year is going to be kind, fun and healthy for all of us. I don’t know about you but 2017 was a mixture of highs and lows for me. The highs were my niece’s first birthday, my mum’s big birthday, my dads birthday , my sister’s and of course my own birthday. There were the shows and musical events that I went to; Aljaz and Janette’s Remembering Fred Tour and Giovanni Pernice’s Tour, not forgetting the 90’s featuring 5ive and The Pop Festival which had Atomic Kitten, A1, Kevin Simm and Katie Price. Despite my anxieties, we went to Amsterdam for four nights with my parents. I worked hard on my blog, my YouTube channel and my main site; Dinkykts EDS Diaries Facebook page. I won’t go into detail about the not so good in 2017. 
I hope to be a more sociable person as due to health reasons, I didn’t see my friends as much as I would have liked. It is definitely harder for me to get to places and for me to feel up to going out. As you get older, you learn from former friendships in what is good, and who are true friends and I feel like I have finally found my true friends. I’m thankful to each and everyone of them, I love them. 
In this post I don’t want to talk too much about personal aims and goals but if you want me to write more about them, then let me know. As 2017 was making my blog more successful, I want to share my most viewed blog post. 


This was a piece that wasn’t the easiest or the most enjoyable thing to write up but it was therapeutic. I’d forgotten some of what had happened as some of it was triggered by remembering other bits. I want to thank those who privately shared their stories although their experiences deeply saddened me, it helped me to feel less alone in the way I was treated or what I endured during the whole situation. 
I can’t believe it’s been over ten years and looking through my other blog posts during the last ten years, I have done so many great things. Yeah there’s been up and downs but it’s exciting to see the fun things I have done though. I try not to be negative in my social media as that’s not the kind of person I am, I try to see the best in everything. This blog post received 468 views which makes me very happy and glad that I shared my story. Thank you. Let’s make 2018 the best yet!! Lots of love from me and I shall see you in my next blog post ❤️ xxx



Ps. This is me from NYE 2017 😊

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

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

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
