I am in awe of these iconic women and they are all totally beautiful in their own way.
These illustrations are stunningly done but i wish i knew who done them so i can give them credit for how they have caught each and every ones natural beauty.

Who are your favourite icons?
Every second human will experience the lovely gift we get monthly, that is aunt flo – i am seriously being sarcastic. I dread mine every time… since the age of 11. Early starter i know.
Since i am due mine any day now i thought i would do a post of all the essentials i think are needed to get you through the week from hell.
Depending on how heavy your period is and your preference of protection I’ve included the ones that will get you through every stage of it. I do think that they should be free for all as not every one can afford them. Especially if there is alot in their family or their country is poor/ do not have them readily available.
I remember having mine for nearly a year as the injection buggered up my cycle and i can’t believe how much i spent on them.
If you get pain not just targeted to your tummy then any of these will help – with the headaches, the backache and any other pain that presents itself.
Of course not everyone likes taking pain relief in the form of tablets. So heat pads come in handy when you are on the go and last from 8-12 hours. A hot water bottle is great for when you are curled up on the sofa or in bed. Wheat heat pads are for mild pain and are microwavable.
Due to your cravings leading up to and on your period days a nice selection of chocolate will do the job. Your horemones are here there and everywhere so a good tearjerker of a film is always a must with a big box of tissues.
Thanks for stopping by, if your a woman i sympathise with you. If your a man cut us some slack.
I bought myself a Letter Board a few months ago now to add a bit of character to my room to either inspire or make me laugh. I have a Pinterest board of some of my favourite finds so i thought I’d share them with you here.
I did have a lot more but thought I’d just put a few on.
You can pick up some cheap ones from places like Home Bargains, New look and Primark. I got mine from trusty old Amazon and got a felt background one instead of plastic. It depends on your preference.
Hope you’ve all had a fab Friday.
Heres to a lovely weekend xx
From me to you,
I want you to know that in life you are going to stumble, and sometimes actually fall. The thing you have to do is not wallow in it, you need to get back up and get on with it. The only person that can achieve your goal is you.
Take a step back if you need to an evaluate, but never give up. There is so little time in a day really when you think about it, and to of wasted your time throwing away a goal you were working so hard towards is kinda silly, right?
If everyone threw in the towel when things slipped up/didn’t go their way we would be living in a really miserable place. Break it down into small manageable goals, and before you know it you will have a big ‘I DID IT’ tick beside it.
You’d feel so proud of yourself for not giving up at the first fallen hurdle.
Of course life is going to throw you crap, you just got to be ready to say… Not my crap and get your head in the game so to speak.
Three final words of this post I am going to leave you with and I want you to always have them in the back of your mind when you have your sights set on something.
Thanks for stopping by

If I’m being totally honest…
I haven’t been putting my all into my blog and I know I’m a poorly person generally but it is no excuse to give less attention to something I love.
So here are a few things I am going to apply from today onwards
Make time in the evening to go through WordPress reader and Bloglovin and read blogs. I do read blogs and comment don’t get me wrong but I don’t do it as often as I should…so I’ll be giving all your blogs some love for sure if I’m following you.
Apply myself a bit more with all social media platforms that I’ve put into a table I made above and make sure I do something every day on each. Its all about the fab people in the blogging community.
I bought my Sony A5000 about 3 years ago and the reason I didn’t spend about 200 more on a more technical one is that I don’t use it to excess…most of my pics are taken on my phone. I do want to start using my camera now the weather is getting a bit better. Then I can share my snaps with you.
Last year I used to take part in a lot of Twitter chats most nights actually and I’ve made some really lovely blogger friends through it. However, I kind of pushed my evenings of chats to one side and like we do get engrossed in YouTube. I need to find some balance for both. Because both are equally as enjoyable…but to be fair twitter chats are interactive so here is my pledge to engage more.
What things do you do to make sure you’re on top of your blogger game?

There’s no getting away from it…
It’s a part of life that we are all measured by numbers.
Like when you don’t feel very well and the doctor says this…
Don’t you just want to punch him in the face? I’m in a lot of pain otherwise I wouldn’t be here for relief.
Then you have people asking you how much you weigh.
If you are happy with the way you are you don’t need to be defined by a number staring back at you on the scales. It can get you down.
The same goes for the size of your clothes in a shop. It shouldn’t make you feel uncomfortable when looking for something to wear, but when they stick numbers on it you can’t help but worry.
Own the outfit and cut out the label it’s only going to make you feel bad about yourself if you’ve had to go up a size in one shop (It’s how they are made not you). Wear it with confidence.
Then it’s marks out of 10 when rating something.
Why can’t it be bad,good,very good and excellent. Just a thought.
I guess this has been a random blog post but it’s so true. You shouldn’t have to worry about what numbers you are just enjoy your life.

This was just a quick exercise – to put into perspective the things that are perking me up and the things that are getting me down.
I chose 4 points each not to make it too long so I could elaborate on them a bit more…
Here are my happy points :
Here are my not so happy points :
Well there you go that is my happy/sad table and it felt better getting it out, and seeing that even though there are some things that make me frown there are things that equally make me smile too.
Why not give it a go yourself. It’s good to be reflective.

A message to all people who think its ok to knock someone down just because they are different.
Read the whole thing including the quotes too
You should never be frowned upon for the colour of your skin, the shape of your body or the colour of your hair.
This is a beauty spot and a cute little heart
But people turn their noses up or turn their backs when they see less than ‘their idea of perfection such as a birthmark or freckles on the face.
and should people be hated on for who they choose to love?
Of course not…
People all over the world decide they are going to be cruel to somebody behind their computer screens
When in fact it’s exactly the same as saying it to somebody face to face..
It still hurts the same.
No, you should never hate yourself and no one should ever make you feel like that.
Do not troll in person, and don’t troll online, this is the only troll you should ever see.
Please feel free to share this post to make people aware.
Much loves and thank you for reading xx
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I will be back shortly after Christmas to do a few posts before we start the new year…
I’ve been blogging every day lately and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. However I do need to sort out a schedule of some sort for 2018.
Eat as much as you can without popping on Christmas Day. It’s the only time you can get away with it without someone saying haven’t you ate enough already.
Spend it with those that matter the most. It’s not all about presents it’s about love. Well it is for me. Presents are just a bonus.
Much love and enjoy xx
Let me start off by saying that this is a little in-depth account of my love life… you can see how its kind of panned out over the years.
Ok so I seriously thought I was going to marry Chesney Hawkes, I used to change the words to ‘I am your one and only, please will you marry me? Oh cringe. I was only 7 or 8 I was still a little girl. Michael Owen was another love of mine, I had a giant poster on my wall of him from my Shout magazine. Least I could go to bed happy.
I soon went off the idea of becoming Mrs Hawkes or Owen and looked forward to playing kiss chase at lunchtimes at primary school. That was when I kissed David. He was my first crush. He was short-ish like me and I went out with him briefly at year 6 camp. That didn’t last long…he moved on to my friend instead.
Throughout school I had a few boyfriends. One called Tom and another Jamie. I foolishly lost my virginity to one of them. Through peer pressure may I add. I also experienced my first girl kiss too, i had saw it on the TV and thought i want to see what it feels like. I knew that I couldn’t talk about it as I was already getting picked on for my skin too. So that was just brushed under the carpet and kept hush hush.
I left school and didn’t have my first proper boyfriend until I was 18. He was just like me he didn’t take life too seriously and we could just act ourselves without thinking we weren’t impressing each other. We met at work when we worked in a bar so when we weren’t working we would spend as much time together as possible. Just after a year he decided he wanted to go back to his Ex so that was a slight kick to the curb.
For a few years I thought I would just go clubbing and see who I could pull. Don’t frown on me I bet you’ve done it in the past. Some were never to be seen again and some were and still are friends. Just because you don’t want to pursue anything any further there’s no reason to not just be friends.
Just before my 21st birthday I took Richard back. I guess there was still parts of him I missed and we just fell back where we left off. But during the 18 months we were together he totally changed. Like overnight, he started to be quite controlling and if I wanted to go anywhere in the car he would demand I paid for petrol. I didn’t like the person he had become and I had to get out there and then. Not seen him to speak to since.
I was in the nightclub a few months later and me and this guy Jake had caught each others eye. We swapped numbers at the end of the night and then in one text he said I am off to Spain for a week we can arrange to meet up when I get back. I wasn’t holding out much hope. He was true to his word and we went out on a date, saw each other every night for 2 weeks when he said would you like to be my girlfriend. It lasted 3 months. I was so happy when I was with him, the only thing was he would buy me everything and I didn’t feel comfortable being spoilt like that. He finished it quite abruptly when I had packed to go away with him and I phoned up to asked what time he’d be coming to get me, he said I won’t.Just like that it was over.
From that day on I looked at love differently. I thought that it didn’t matter who you fell for, male or female you would find someone who appreciated you one day and they would make you smile endlessly and your heart would beat that little bit faster because of them.
I haven’t found my forever someone yet. I have been on dates with men and women and I guess the right person will come along when I least expect it. Just as long as i am not single forever.
Thanks for reading until the end… My hand hurts now from typing 🙂
