Glitter, British Music Scene and other things this week

So this week has definitely been a slow one.  Nothing too exiting happening.  Just trying to finish up college and start the holidays.

Onto things that I’ve been loving this week:

I'm actually having to think quite hard about this…

Got one!

My fur coat - Fake fur that is.  I don’t believe in real fur but that’s a whole other post.  Me and my friends have collectively come up with the name Phantom for it.  It keeps my very warm I can literally wear a T-shirt and shorts under it and I will be fine.

Glitter - I'm certainly feeling festive so anything glitter is just orgasm worthy for me at the moment.  Shoes, bags, nails are just a few examples.  I have been sporting bedazzled nails for the last two weeks.

My shorter hair – I have but off about 8 inches of my hair in the last few months and I do miss the long hair but I feel like the shorter hair looks a bit more grown up and just less typical really. 

Dark lips – I have been obsessed with the Rimmel Lipstick in the ‘Kate Collection’ that is a dark purple.  I havent purchased it but I have found a lip liner that’s similar just a little more on the red side.  Its from L.A. colours and its super creamy so I can wear it as a lipstick.  I am wearing it it in the video.

Favorite song – Professor Green ‘Into the Ground’.  Not everyones cup if tea but I just find this song funny and it can really lift my mood.  If you havent realised yet I am obsessed with Professor Green.  UK artists have been doing amaizing in the last few years. One more song I need to mention is Example ‘Microphone’.  Love it!

Stuff that irritated me this week:

The fact that I am broke as hell until next Thursday!

People that make me feel so uncomfortable I could be physically sick around them…

That’s about it.  So not so bad this week ehh? HAHAHA

Have you put up your Christmas lights yet? Because I haven't.



Travelling, Tea and Annoying People

Last week I failed to update since I was travelling.  So here's an update for the last two weeks really.

I was away for five days to visit my grandma in Lithuania.  It was her birthday which meant that I was eating birthday cake for three days straight.  That also means I'm back on my diet.  

Here are some pictures I took at my grandmothers house:

 yes its a boombox. i know epic!

the christmas tree at our city

I forgot how much I love that house.

Things I loved this week (two really):

The fact that Christmas is coming, I have been feeling very festive lately and probably going to put up some decorations today.

I have been drinking lots of tea.  Whilst I was away that seemed to be the drink of choice.  I usually like fruit and herbal teas but I was being very English and having black tea and milk at my grandmas.  The Twinning’s Camomile, Vanilla and Honey is amazing.  No sugar needed.  But enough about tea (I’m clearly obsessed over here)

The quality of video when filming with the iPhone 4.  I got this phone a week ago and filmed a few videos already and I can truly say I am not going back to my little camera.  Here’s a tutorial if you want to check out the quality (click here.)

I once again have to say my friends.  The more times goes on the more I appreciate the real ones in my life.  I also wrote a post on this issue (click here.)

Song of the week is definitely ‘Let Me Show You’ by Maverick Sabre. Amazing all I need to say.  I can listen to this whatever mood I might be in.

Things I didn’t like so much this week:

People that are not aware of what a queue is at the airport whilst waiting to board.  Not cool.

People that have mood swings at me.  Just f**k out. (pardon my language is just this REALLY irritates me)

The fact that my bestie is ill and has been for days now. Get better babe.

Question for the week:

What do you do to get better when your ill?

My Perfect Autumn Day

What can I say. It has been a rather lazy and uneventful day for me yet I couldnt have asked for a better one.  London's temperatures are finally hitting the chilly autumn side which I have been waiting for.  Sitting in my room with a few lit candles in my full tracks trying to keep warm whilst devouring a book with a cup of herbal tea is definatly what I call relaxation.  I'm currently trying to finish 'The Girl Who Kicked Hornets' Nest' the third and final installment to 'The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo' series.

I recall a day like this last autumn/winter which I spent blogging in the chill.  My reading obsessions have grown to a point where no time is to be wasted on watching TV and instead all my spare time is dedicated to reading.  Last saturday, in one sitting, I managed to read 'The Alchemist'.  Weird little book I have to say.  For me someone who is not so sure about the whole God thing its a little akward to read.  However I did enjoy the things about the universe and the general idea of persuing your dreams no matter how hard the journey has been or how much you may want to give up.  My now exessive reading is also making my passion for writing grow and the need for my opinion and voice to be heard more prominent in my own mind.  Well thats one thing that issint a lie on my personal statement. 

Another little perk in life that I cannot survive with and that I consider most people to take for granted is music.  No matter what you might be going through there will be a song that will : 1. remind you of good times 2. be in parrallel to what you are expieriancing or 3. just remind you that it will get better.  The artist that I am currently listening to non-stop is Ed Sheeran. Suprise, surprise.  His album '+' makes me feel like I on a whole other world when I listen to it.  I highly recommend it.  This post is completely rambly so I think I'm going to stop there.

Tell me what is your favorite thing to do on a autumn day is?
