Better Late Than Never

For my 21st birthday I got a rabbit, - who I ended up naming Sweep. August I decided to purchase a 2nd rabbit, so I went to the pet store asked for a male rabbit and was informed that the one I now have is a male who I named Nutkin



Could you imagine my surpise last week monday when I went out at 7:30am to check on the rabbits, Nutkin had babies lol, so it turns out he was a she and ended up with SIX lil bunnies.

this was them on the day of their birth =)

As I haven't been around on here much, got a few hauls to do. Be patient with me, got a funeral to attend tomorrow and a possible holiday to pack for, isn't it weird I'm indecisive about going on holiday -odd.

BB Cream : HELP !!!

I've always seen blog posts about BB Cream's (Blemish Balm) but never highly considered investing the ££ in them. But after I've done alot of reading on them :

It was originally designed to nourish the skin after a harsh laser resurfacing surgery

Well if it's good for harsh laster resurfacing surgery it's def good enough for my face lol. But I've read that it's very hard to find the HG (Holy Grail) BB Cream. I'm on the search for samples (Anyone know of any sites/ebay sellers?!) - as I do hear that some brands don't have a range of colours.

I'm just wondering from you ladies who are BB Cream lovers :

What's your HG BB Cream ?

- While typing this post I did come across this blog Choosing The Right BB Cream!!

Nail Trends : Squoval

I've been seeing this in magazines in the last few weeks, its the nail shape for fall.

Im not much of a nail freak to even know it had a name.

But mmm it's called the Squoval!!!!!

1. FILE STRAIGHT ACROSS
Working on one hand at a time, sweep the nail file across in a single action. This will give you a neat, straight edge. To keep all the nails the same shape spread your fingers out and compare them as you file.


2. FILE UP THE SIDES
Stop the side of the nails snagging by filing straight up the side. When you reach the end of the nail, use the file to gently curve the far edge around so it doesn't feel sharp. Repeat on all fingers.

3. BUFF THE TOP
When you file nails, you always get some nail dust, so buff it off by pointing the nail file down and sweep over the nails four times. Make sure the edges are smooth by sweeping towards the centre.

4. FILE UNDER EDGE
Turn over your hand and file underneth each nail. Sweep the nail file from one side to the other. Tilt your nail file so it comes into the pad of your finger - it'll stop you filing away too much.

Woooopie, another tag, love doing these. 

Get my mind working..I was given this tag by Jo she really is adorable. ily honey thank you for this tag. so this is going to go like this. 10 laalaa facts and then top 10 fav blog(s)(gers) to do this tag :

(1) i have a thing for Sean Penn, i actually have a thing for alot of older dudes in hollywood lol, well they must be doing their job pretty damn well if i feel so connected to "them".

(2) Madonna is the leader of my cult according to Nick well yeah i do go by Madonna's various transitions and live by them at times.

(3) i lead with my heart not my head. case in point - i'm going through that bullshit as we speak. sucks!!!

(4) i got A3 sheets of paper on my wall to organize my days, doesn't help as much as i'd like lol...i got an old brain.

(5) i spend my time reading alot of autobiographies, currently I'm reading Scar Tissue - Anthony Kiedis, I'm a huge Red Hot Chili Pepper's fan and I don't know why it's taken me so long to get this book and by all accounts it's one of the most honest and exciting book's i've read in a long long time.

(6) -struggling to think of 4 more facts. oh i'm def an old soul, im into alot more history, art & old 1950s - 1990s music/film ; i prefer things that are old.
-lol let's clear something up now, it doesn't go for the males i choose romantically.

(7) boredom can come easy to me, i don't like change yet i don't like things to stay the same for too long, it irritates me - weird huh. if i can change it before i get to comfortable then it's not too much of an issue.

(8) i can be relentless when it comes to what i want. stubborn and selfish can come easy to me when i'm out for something - roar!!! bitch!

(9) ummm travelling is high on my list of things i'd love to do before my time is up - i got some many places i'd love to visit due to the culture and history of the countries. i feel travelling and expanding your mind is a great way to discovering somewhat of who you are.

(10) if we could change my name to anything relating to moods it would be emotional i have no quarms about expressing my emotions, if it needs to be said; i cannot hold back in some cases. i'm very emotional but have high barriers.
i'm so wooo woooo woooo all over.

21.09 - 27.09 : In's // Out's

This week I put my foot down and delcared that it was the start of how I needed to move forward. So thing's needed to be put into action (once again). So here are my brief in's//out's for the week of 21.09.

IN

DARK/PALE Nails : It looks to be a fall trend of dark and light when it comes to nails. I am more of an either neutral or dark nail varnish person myself. So this is perfect for me and not much of a change in style.

SLASHED Leggings : Like I explained in my OOTD post, it's already a style I'm comfortable with and couldn't care if I'm slashing up leggings, tops or tights, I do prefer the more scruffy, thrown together look then prim and proper - but that's just me.

YOGA Exercise : Yup this is very in this week and for the next month to lose another 14lbs, I've lost 5lbs so far and is down to 10st 7lbs but my desired or happy weight will be around 9st 7lbs. So alot of exercise and yoga balanced into my daily routine for the next 30days.

OUT

ACNE : Already spoke about acne in a seperate post this past week already, we all don't like it, we all want rid of we deal with them, so I've been battling and researching alot to do with calming acne etc. In my conquest to rid my spots I've done my cucumber face mask to cool the face down, using Antibacterial Bar Soap (which i must say has actually helped)I also purchased PANOXYL AQUAGEL 2.5 40g ACNE & SPOTS BENZOYL PEROXIDE 2.5 and for the few acne scarring that has stayed I went to a health store and got pure Vitamin E Oil to rub onto them (which you could use with the lemon juice). My face has cleared up abit this week - i hope i haven't jinxed myself.

SPENDING : Well yes December is rapidly approaching and it may seem that luxuries may be out for a little while, to gather the pennies and leave my Christmas shopping for Oct/Nov months - I want it all out the way fast. So I can then save up more after the present shopping to look forward to the January Sales lol.

you got any in's//out's for the week?
