Hi lovelies,

Today I have some 1960’s inspired nails for you. It was my friend’s 18^th last night and so I obviously had to have nails that co-ordinated with her 1960s theme.

Homemade Nail Polish Remover

Hi lovelies

Today I have a recipe, but it’s not you would like to eat… Speaking of recipes, I have been so slack lately. I should really do some more baking or something.....

Also, the water bottle isn't actually water but nail polish remover. It was the only bottle I could find. :P

Hello and Welcome - A formal introduction

Hi lovelies,

A couple of days ago, I realised something. You might remember my post about make-up, photoshop and photos and this realisation was very much to do with this.

So, I was out at the zoo with my family and I was, as always, attached very permanently to my camera. I was snapping away happily, taking photos of everything from an interestingly shaped rock to some baby meerkats to my family and myself and realised – these are great photos. These are happy photos and I would be proud to show people these pictures. I look happy and healthy. I look pretty great in all of these. And that’s when I realised – I don’t have to post just one picture of myself. I can post as many as I want because this is my blog. And so, if I post lots and lots of pictures – I can build a more complete picture of myself. I don’t have to let people judge me on only one picture. I don't have to let the way people see me be defined by only one picture. By only one snapshot into my life. By one tiny porthole in a rather large ship. This is my blog and I need to remember that. So, that's what I'm going to do. :)

Hello Kitty Nails

Hi my lovelies

Today I have some really cute nails for you. They have Hello Kitty on them. I mean, do you even get nails that are cuter than that?!

Multi Dot Nails

Hello beautiful people,

You know what I love about the holidays? That fact that life slows down. Not just my life, but all of my family’s as well. With four children, my mum has a full schedule in making sure the household doesn’t fall apart and with so much homework and study, me and my sisters hardly get to see each other.

Depression and Anti-Depressants

Hi lovelies,

This post is going to be a hard one and one that you may not want to read about. In staying true to my policy of being truthful, I am going to be tackling the topic of my depression and namely, my methods of dealing with it. (On a sidenote, did you see my alliterations in that sentence? So many ‘t’s!).

Mental health is an interesting topic for me. It was never discussed inside my house, I never knew anyone that had an issue with mental health and all I knew about it was what they taught us in year 10 health. That’s was, until I was plunged head-long into it in yr 11, aged 16, with depression, anxiety and anorexia. I discuss my anorexia here and most of you probably know I’m in recovery from it. My anxiety is far milder than the others and generally only becomes bad when the others are also bad but my depression – that’s something I don’t mention much.

Caramel Slice

Hello there lovelies,

Guess what? Today I took a challenge and really challenged myself. (I think there was too many ‘challenge’s in that sentence…)

Today, I made caramel slice.

Glow in the Dark Tribal Nails

Hi lovelies,

This is a bit of an extension of my last post, I guess. Well, by that I mean that I still have the same nail polish but I’ve just jazzed it up a bit.

Glow in the Dark Nail Polish

To be honest, I think the post title says it all. :)

I got my first glow in the dark nail polish a couple of days ago and it was so exciting! First off, the colour was incredibly bright be itself - I swear I have never seen such a bright orange before. These pictures do not do it justice as all, the colour was just that incredible..... I got so many comments from people about how bright they were and when I told them they glowed in the dark, nobody was surprised. They really are bright.
