Meet Sheldon

Yesterday me and my sister walked round to an old school friend as she was selling kittens and had one left! So I introduce to you all Sheldon (yes named after the character in The Big Bang Theory), he is adorable and tiny (maybe because he is only 7 weeks old)!!! He loves playing with feet and is very excitable, my other 2 cats are a little wary but that is understandable they should warm to each other soon. We are going to introduce him to biscuits soon so hopefully when he goes the toilet it isn't as nasty.

Till next time

New Obsessions!

Well I realize I haven't blogged in a while so I thought It was time for an update! As most people know I shaved all my hair off about 2 months ago and slowly but surely its starting to grow, but as I'm waiting for it to get to a cute length I decided to buy 2 wigs from Amazon. One of them (not pictured) is just a long blonde one which looks nice with a hat or beanie over the top as I always find synthetic wigs have funny unrealistic partings.
Then I saw this pink one, normally I wouldn't have bought this type of wig as it just looks like a party wig but this one has dark roots with the purple blending into the pink which I love. So I ended up getting it and loving it! Yes it's a bit unpractical and doesn't look natural at all but its fun and why not!

Me and my cat Lily having snuggles!

I wish the wig was a lighter pink like in the darker pictures. Eyeshadow from a Kat Von D palette. Most of these pictures I'm just messing around and playing with the wig :)

Of course I had to repaint my nails. Here I used my new Rimmel Downtown Red with gold glitter.

I love that all the spring flowers are coming out so I decided to do a little bit of Spring cleaning starting with my bedside table. I now have enough room for my new egyptian statue and crystals. I also bought some flowers for the living room from the local florists.

I had all my friends come over at the weekend just for mainly a catch up. I love spending time with them and also we don't see each other as often as I would like so these little catch ups mean the world to me. Everyone was gone by about 1am except my friend Charley, we ended up spending the whole night chatting, laughing, singing (badly) and me ranting! It was hilarious and before we knew it, it was light outside and we had been up for 24 hours! I think we went a bit cuckoo and blanked out for a few hours but it was fun. 

We said it was like a detox which I probably needed as my sleeping pattern is all up the wall! I ended up staying up till about 11pm that night as I had family round so I worked out in the end I had not slept for 36 hours! Lets just say I was pretty much a zombie the next day!

Here are some pictures Charley took :

The madness set in!

A failed attempt at sleeping top and tail as we couldn't stop laughing.

Charley wearing my ring! She now belongs to me!

Other Updates:

A must watch: I heard about the new Netflix series Hemlock Grove starring the beautiful Bill Skarsgard

(brother of Alex) and even though I didn't know what It was about I thought I would give it a try! Well let me say I watched all 13 episodes in like 3 days, its totally weird but so good. I will be doing a review I think later this week!





Hair and face envy: Google Model Alena Shishkova she is stunning I want that platinum blonde hair!

Film coming out: Only Lover's Left. Starring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston as a vampire!!! Holy S**t!!! I'm so excited, look at this sexualness (is that a word?)

That's it for today!

Till next time

April Favourites!!

So its that time of the month again, no I'm not talking about agonizing PMS but my April Favourites!! This month seems to have gone so fast and before I knew it my mum jetted off to Spain and me and my sister are left to bring in the month of May :)

So lets get to it!!!

April Favourites:

1. Lana Del Rey : As I am currently anticipating the new Great Gatsby movie I was so pleased that Lana Del Rey released the full song 'Young and Beautiful' after hearing a snippet of it in the trailer. I have loved her voice for years now and I'm so happy they chose her to be apart of the movie soundtrack as her voice fits so well with that era.

She also released 2 covers which are so perfect. Click here for 'Summer Wine'. Click here for 'Chelsea Hotel No2'.

2. Nail Art: As many of you know I love getting my nails done especially with Stiletto/Dagger acrylic tips. My sister applied them at home they I came into her college so she could be assessed on some nail art. Love them, need to decide what my next colour is going to be. If anyone is interested the colour is Mandarin Magic by Avon.

3. Healthy Eating: I have started eating more healthy at the end of April and I want to continue this into May. I'm not going to call it a diet because my body will just react and implode thinking it can't have any nice food. So instead of eating take outs and microwave meals I have been having salad with chicken or another meat/dish. For Breakfast I have been eating yogurt with granola, sultanas and some fruit today I had raspberries and strawberries! Yum!

4. Charity Shops/Thrifting: Don't worry I'm not going to mention Macklemore, but I love vintage stuff and as my mum has got her new record player working I am on the hunt for some vinyl's. Charity shops are great for finding little gems of either clothing/jewelry/books and ornaments. Don't forget to look in the sizes bigger than yours because you might find a print that you can use to make another piece of clothing.

5. The Vampire Diaries: Ok so I just watched the latest episode which is episode 20 called 'The Originals' and my love for Klaus has just doubled! I'm not going to ruin it for anyone who hasen't watched it yet but their is a big surprise and Klaus' little puppy dog eyes when he cries is adorable! Too many feels! Loving the second half of this season!

6. Candles and baths: The weather isn't too hot here in England and especially it gets chilly at night so a hot bubble bath always seems like the right thing to do most nights. I turn all the lights down, light lots of candles ( I need more) and relax whilst listening to some Jeff Buckley or Mazzy Star! Just perfect.

7. The Fifth Element: I forgot how much I love this film! It's a true classic especially in my family, it's my Dad and Sister's favourite film. If you haven't seen it what are you doing with your life.

8. Game of Thrones: Just finished season 1 finally and I love it so much. Daenerys is so beautiful and I can't believe her husband died, it was really sad but now she has Dragons so hell yeah!! Oh and I love Richard Madden who plays Robb Stark yum!!

9. Thor - The Dark World: Loki do I need to say more!

10. Hair: Finally its growing, In one month hopefully it can be a cute pixie cut!

April Misses:

I've had a pretty good month nothing has really been a miss with me so far. Maybe one!

1. I bought the Maybelline new Falsies mascara because everyone raves about it and to be honest their is nothing special for me its just a basic mascara. Good for separating lashes but not for length. Maybe it's just like that for me but I don't think I will re purchase it.

Tell me in the comments what your Hits and Misses were of April in the comments.

Till next time

Film Review: The Host

I haven't blogged in 9 days how crap of me! I also haven't done a film review since January! What is going on, I need to get back into the swing of things so I have decided every Monday I will review either a TV show/Film for you all.

Let me know in the comments what films you would recommend that I should watch. It doesn't matter what genre as I like to keep an open mind when it comes to films. Also let me know what films you are looking forward to seeing this year, I'm so excited for The Great Gatsby since I read the book for A level and I'm a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. You can see the wonderful trailer here!! 

So lets get to it. I have been intrigued to see this film since I saw the trailer, I'm not a fan of the Twilight saga but I am a fan of Max Irons :) Click here to watch the trailer.

Director: Andrew Niccol

Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, Diane Kruger, William Hurt, Jake Abel

Plot:  When an unseen enemy threatens mankind by taking over their bodies and erasing their memories, Melanie will risk everything to protect the people she most cares about to prove that love can conquer all. (From IMDB)

Rating: PG-13

Thoughts: First off I won't give any spoilers to this film as I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. From the trailer you would expect this film to be an action sci-fi and on the surface it is, but the real message and story line of the film is to do with not only love but freedom.
Melanie (Ronan), her brother Jamie and her chiseled drop dead gorgeous boyfriend Jared (Irons) are on their way to find the rest of the resistance. The resistance are a group of humans who are trying to fight the alien race who inhabit human bodies to therefore live on earth. However Melanie is caught and inhabited with the Alien called Wanderer or Wanda for short. When humans are inhabited the aliens search through their memories to find any information about the resistance so the aliens can track them down.

Kruger plays the main seeker bitch who is in charge of getting Wanderer to tell all about Melanie's memories except the problem is Melanie is still alive and fighting to stay in control in her mind, so for example when the seeker is asking Wanda a question about the resistance the audience hear Melanie tell her to not tell the seeker anything. I liked this whole back and forth with Wanda talking to Melanie and this is where we see that Wanda is actually really compassionate and empathetic towards Melanie and wants to help her get back to her people.

So basically that's the basis of the start of the film. The audience get to see the struggle for Melanie being trapped as Wanda is controlling her body but also that Wanda has feelings of her own especially towards Ian. Some points I was screaming out for Melanie to shut her trap so that Wanda could spend some time with Ian. I also really liked the whole community of the resistance living in this volcano thing in the middle of the desert fighting not to get caught and the fact that they would rather kill themselves than be inhabited really made me think what it would be like running away from something that could destroy who you are. Also it makes you think that if you are strong in mind you can overpower anything that is trying to prevent you from being yourself.

I really liked this film and it is totally different to what I expected. I loved the whole Wanda/Melanie thing and although I was a little disappointed towards the end I can see how they have left it open for the next installments. The situation although far fetched you can believe in the characters struggles to fight for their lives.

Two minds think alike

3.5/5

Nails and Update!!

So as you know I like to change my nails quite often and after I fell down the stairs one of my dagger tips broke off so I thought it was time to change the design. As I've been really into Ancient Egyptian every thing I thought I would try a gold and blue look as those colours were used a lot in those times. They loved the primary bold colours and I think I achieved that used gems and a dotting tool. It wasn't as perfect as I would have liked I'm a bit OCD about my nails but take a look anyway:

Then after a week I got bored and wanted a change so for a brighter look I used mostly my Avon colours to add a sparkle to the tips after I painted them with a bright base.

My Left Hand:

My Right Hand:

As I am writing this one of my tips bent so I just soaked it all off and that was fine but the bow won't come off as it has double acrylic under it to help it stay on. Hopefully I can use a cotton bud/Q-Tip to get acetone under it so I can put on a new tip and have perfect nails again!

In other news my hair is getting super fluffy and out of control I can't wait for another month so it can lay flat in a pixie style. I've been using hats and scarves when I'm going out as I can't do anything nice with my hair yet. I bought this super cute cross ring from River Island I love it.

I also watched the season finale of Shameless us and I can't wait till January for the next season, so I've been filling the empty hole with other shows like The Walking Dead. I watched the first season in one night and so far I love it. I'm about 5 episodes into season 2 and even though I've really been that into horror or gore I think this show is great. Yes the zombies are horrid and disgusting but that's what makes it feel more realistic (if that's possible), I think it helps that I'm really into Special effects makeup so their easier to look at! 

I'm planning on watching Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Revenge and Breaking Bad to fill my time. Oh and of course catching up on Dexter from season 4 onwards. So yeah hopefully I can get up to date with all of those programmes in the coming months.

Till next time
