My beautiful niece and nephews

Last week I was God Mother to my youngest Nephew for the very first time it was a lovely day and I got some really nice pictures of my Nice and Nephews words cannot describe how much I love them! cannot wait to have kids of my own and if they are as half as cute as these 3 kids I will be one lucky Mummy!

hey...

I am so sorry I have not blogged for AGES

I have been super busy in the University of Life, few weeks ago my Nan broke her back and is still in hospital so adding that to normal life and I just haven't had the time!

The only thing keeping me going at the moment is knowing I am in Egypt next week, actually cannot wait! I have been deprived of the sun for far too long for my liking and with my medical problems the doctor did recommend sun bathing and relaxing so I am not going to argue with medical experts :)

In and out of my own hospital appointments and visiting my Nan I have just about managed to complete my holiday shopping, think I now just need to buy a cheap Phones4u pay as you go handset, so not going to get stung by taking my blackberry abroad again! also need to take copies of my paper work and passport, buy some vest tops to go with my crazy patterned shorts, buy travel sickness tablets, Plug adaptors and I am sure more will come up when I am out there!

So what else have I been up to since my last post, went to Faces Essex for my 'little sisters' 20th Birthday, we got a table, the same one as in the TOWIE music video, me and Hayley were overly excited about that lol also tried out The Villa Essex, for Shaun's birthday very expensive but a great night!

not much else to report...

Nan is getting on ok now, she is kind of losing her marbles too, we think it has been going on for a while but now she is confined to the hospital it is becoming more obvious, she's not going to be ok on her own when she is eventually allowed out, this is really sad as she is and always has been such an independent person but what with her mind and broken back we will need to give her help, not sure of a leaving date yet as it is not something you can recover from quickly at a young age especially when your in your 70s!

be back asap!

Super stressed!

Ahh I need a bit of a rant so excuse me lol

I need access to an email account I used to use on my old Orange Blackberry because it's for my Pay Pal and TV License and since upgrading I haven't had access to it as Orange have to authorize it.

I gave in and called Orange today about it (I hate calling them as no matter how polite and patient I am, I never get anywhere...)

Here is a print screen of my status on Facebook as it sums up my stressed mood right now lol (I blurred out my full name for the purpose of blogger in case you're wondering)

So yea, after a very difficult phone conversation I have got no where

:(

She didn't even listen to my problem, every time I try to access the account through my new hand set, it tells me Orange need to authorize it and to call them, She suggested I just set up a new email several times and after the 456th explanation of the actual problem and the fact I need access to the old email, I was blown away by my patience, I had yet to lose my rag until she said to me 'Oh you can get access yourself if you set it up as you would a new email through options  > email options > set up access'.

*puts down phone*

anyone know anything about this? Help please?

soooo tempted to just get a Nokia on Tesco mobile and be done with Blackberry and Orange forever!!!!!

ELF holiday collection!

Hey, It's been a busy week again!

I have a few things to blog about but so little time...

I got my ELF holiday haul yesterday woop and I did take some pics but have had no time to review or test them all as of yet, will write a bit about what I have used though!

above is a picture of my elf freebies, I took advantage of the spring bundle deal and am so pleased I did, with my particular spring bundle I got:

a) Fire Coral #D19 Nail varnish (Link to ELF nail varnishes)

b) Grassy Green 7606 Shimmer Eye liner pencil (Link to ELF Shimmer Eye liner pencils)

c) Ivy 2008 Brightening Eye Color eye shadow (Link to ELF Eye shadow Color)

I haven't had a chance to use the Fire Coral Nail varnish yet but I quickly used the Shimmer eye liner pencil and eye shadow, they compliment each other really well and I am defo going to buy the other Shimmer Eye liners as I think they will be perfect for my holiday next month!

I did take some pictures and I felt a bit like Tinkerbell with the green! - Once I have the collection I will do a post dedicated to them, with pictures, I promise!

I must say I am really, really pleased with the Shimmer Eye liner pencil, I normally use the 24/7 glide on eye pencil from Urban Decay but I really cannot see much difference in the ELF ones apart from the price, Urban Decay retail at £13.00 and ELF at only £1.50! Urban Decay defo have more colours in their collection however!

Above is a picture of all the bits I got for my holiday next month!

d) Fairy 9011 Hypershine lipgloss

e) Black 7303 Waterproof Eye liner pen

f) Black Kohl Eye liner

g) Total Face brush

h) Clear and White nail varnishes

i) Warm Tan 2402 Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder

j)Crystal 2201 Wet gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara

k) Corrective Concealer

all of the products can be found easy peasy on www.eyeslipsface.co.uk

I still have so much to buy for my holiday!

I need a waterproof camera as we are going snorkelling and god knows what else! anyone got any recommendations of what to take on holiday? I hate getting some where and thinking whoops....

What is perfect?! The weight debate

I have found myself debating back and forth in my head what is perfect re: WEIGHT.

I have always struggled with my weight and not from being what people consider big but from being too small....

In the last year or so I have finally managed to put on the 2 and a half stone I needed to feel normal and look healthy, I have never been more confident and yet the negative comments are flooding in.

I am going to upload pictures of myself as far back as 2009, I am not being big headed but I am a lot better now than I was when I was under 6 stone, so the Fatty police can do one.  I didn't have anorexia or anything I just had a really high metabolism, I was who I was and I am who I am now!

2009

cringe! this wasn't the smallest I had ever been but it is pretty small! This is a picture from my sisters wedding when I was 19, I don't think having braces helped with my weight at all as, as my other brace face buddies will know the food you can eat with a ridiculous amount of wire in your mouth is limited... I think I was about 6 stone here.

2010

Puerto Rico aged 20... (I know I look about 12 lol) I was about 6 and a half maybe 7 stone at this point, look a little healthier than I did in 2009 and yay no braces!  This defo had an effect on my weight, I could eat anything and everything again! HAPPY DAYS.

2011

Colchester Zoo aged 21! Sitting on a lion because that's how I roll. Look I have boobs! I'd say I was just over 7 stone here, was going through a really difficult time here but look how healthy I look? oh, yeah, I dyed my hair too :P JUST in case you thought, hold on a minute...

2012

The start of April! 8 stone exactly.  This is the photo someone commented on saying I was 

'obese' *face palm*

At the end of the day I think I'm the best I have ever been and I am not going to lose weight just because some loser thinks I'm fat.

From being 5 and a half stone at the age of 17-18 to 8 stone at 22 is a good thing! my point is there is always going to be some jealous person making comments no matter what you look like.

If you're happy with who you are then that's all that matters!
