A week in photo's : Japfest 2013

Hollaa,

So I probably haven't been in everyone's goodbooks lately since it's been aaages since I actually wrote or made a proper blogpost...however my valid excuse is because I've been busy in all other prospects of life (mainly the boring ones!:( )  but anyway less bore more ooh' yeah?'...


My lovely other half Matt has as known as the apparent 'trait of men' The car obssession. luckily for me it doesn't bother me at all as it would other girls..the prospect of a mechanic who talks about cars 24/7 can sometimes be their worst nightmare...but for me..it's just completely normal...so where to start?.

Car's have always been an interest to me since growing up, my grandfather and father were always the keen ;lets restore this classic' type people, and throughout my teenage life I struggled in relationships with guy's who thought car's were 'annoying or stupid'....that being of course until Matt came along..his first car being a standard focus that he hated and had tried to modify it to his taste...then his blue honda civic (the red wheeled one)..Matt thinks/breathes/eats/drinks this civic..and obviously being the 'keenie' decided it was time to show it's various completions at Japfest..

For those who aren't aware it's like a show for japanese cars only..with regular races/drifts around castle coombe racetrack..I'm not the 'racing' type myself...in fact after crashing when I first began driving I can barely face going over 80 at a push (wimp! I hear you say!)..

But for Matt its every car obssessed guy's dream..alot of girls probably think of carshows as being a complete nightmare..but for me its purely exciting..(apart from the miles of walking!) its rare but on this occasion we both realised how strong our bond actually was and how close we were as a couple....We've had critism from various others in the past..but it never affects our bond with one another..

Moral of the post? ..Do what you want to do, enjoy what you enjoy and never let anyone stop you or judge you about it..'

Tag of the day (Our Story)

 

Helloo

So I see this tag everywhere and thought why not give it a shot?..

The tag being about how you met that special person..be it your husband, boyfriend, family member, pet?...

 

 

Kettle on? Okay lets go.....

 

This is Matthew, I like to call him Maffy, Mooble and various other names..which will remain in silence (jeeez)

 

 

 



We met in September 2008 at a Secondary school in Wales. Of which we were (very reluctantly) placed to sit together...(Being the beauty obssessed girl I was back then )I always carried a bag of makeup..and a tin of vaseline...Matt, being a very tormentive person..would empty my entire makeup bag....every single lesson...along with taking over the entire (small) table...and would roll the vaseline tin back and forth along the table..until it landed on the floor...he would do this until it was completely covered in dent. It definately wasn't love at first sight! I hated him and he..hated me..

As the year went on we started becoming good friends..and deepdown feeling's started to bubble...although at the time it was abit embarrassing to admit anything back then! ..I thought he was stupidly good loooking! and probably went through a year of 'fancying' him from then onwards..

Anyway the year's went on and we left school,got on with our daily lives and didn't hear from one another again...Matt had his fair share of girlfriends and I boyfriends....it wasn't until a year later I started restoring a car he decided to have a chat....

Matt is a car obssessed person...in fact...he probably has his own 'obssession' catagory . He hates loud people..indian food and french cars and likes being in a small group of people, japanese cars...fast and furious..and kebabs ( I only realised this when he ordered the same meal on most nights out!)

Sadly as me and Matt grew to be closer friends I then began hanging around with a rather 'wrong' group of people...I spent a few months with them and eventually one of them decided they'd like to impend on a relationship with me..how wrong I was on that one! the 'guy' went from being a real understanding dude to becoming a violently abusive person' in the space of a few weeks...I soon began to realise that it wasn't this guy I wanted..it was Matt.....and quite frankly...if it hadn't been for Matt I probably wouldn't be here or where I am today..he stood up for me, built my confidence,encouraged me that my life wasn't over and helped me to get back onto my feet and start my life again....and so I did.

Just under a few months later and we were an item! If I remember rightly...we were sat watching a film one evening and Matt spontaniously told me he wanted a relationship..'I've never done it face to face before only over text'

So...just under 9 years later and here we are, after nearly an entire year of being in loooove. My favourite thing about him is his ability to see the funny side of things. He puts up with a terrible lot from me! That's something worthy of a medal!.

So I'm tagging everyone in this tag and that's including you!,
feel free to link me back to your tags! I'd love to read! :)

Everyday Products : Hair, Makeup etc ♥

Hollaa!,

So recently I've had a few spiffing requests on my everyday products and whatnot, and since being asked I've just been putting it off and putting it off until TODAY ...which is great news on the motivation front....kinda.

I can't say I'm the most pristine 'do the same thing everyday' person...purely because I might wake up one day and just feel lazy, or on the other hand I could be running off everywhere..but most day's/evening's I'm lucky enough to be able to sit down or snuggle in with Matt and some pamper treats..

Hair : Since its nearly summer I've been abit 'Waddup!' on the highlights front....being a hairstylist myself...I can proudly say my hair has always and more recently been in great condition, after twiddledumming it down to the salon I persisted with a fullhead of highlights and decided my 'summer style' would be long and blonde ..every morning I'm always sure to rinse it through with a toner, followed by morrocan oil shampoo/conditioner, and then it get's to dry naturally' with a bit of texturizing spray spritzed in for the day...lucky thing..


Nails : I've never been one to bite my nails but they've always been rather weak so its been all fronts with the nail strengthner these past few months...right now they're looking long and mighty fine. I've managed to keep them regularly moisturised and filed correctly..always using a base/topcoat, chucking on some NYC SPEEDDRY' and then buffing around with a spot of vaseline to keep them cuticles looking spendid.

Face : ahhh what a joke...nahh I kid I kid...because of coming off some medication recently my face has seen a sorry state, but luck definately decided to aim my way these past few weeks and my fellow breakouts have nearly cleaned up their act and left my face feeling rather 'refreshed'..I don't normally like to wear alot of makeup but this weeks 'facial fiasco' has been 'abit of mascara, blusher,brow's filled in, and a smear of vaseline on the lips and underneath my eyes... ahh vaseline has it's many uses !can't go wrong!.

Scrubbing up!

Holla!,

So I should probably start with an apology considering I haven't done a post in a loong time...my reasons for this are family and relationship/working commitments that I've been pretty tied up in recently, however I thought I'd drop in with a spanking new post about my favourite scrubber.....yes I went there!.

I simply cannot promote this enough, although probably a little pricey it's worth the money in my purse, shea butter....hmm...I thought...hastily grabbing the nearest one..needless to say I was exactly impressed when I got in the car...until I opened the lid.......dun dun duuuuun!

It..is simply beautiful, the actual scrub itself looks abit uninviting though, but it left my skin whining for more, ladies and gentlemen it is simple sex to the skin!
Alot of scrubs I've reviewed are usually real harsh, or feel nice on the skin yet do a cr*p job, but this one does nearly everything it says on the tin, I say nearly...if you're not the biggest fan of gloopy mixtures then this probably won't be your cup of tea but for the most part it smells divine and does a great job on my skin, to get the best advantage it's probably worth using about once a week, but it does a brilliant job of becoming my alarm clock wakeup in the shower most mornings!.

If you fancy a nibble of this lovely stuff you can find it here-..http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-The-Breakfast-Scrub™-Body-Exfoliator-300ml_1114195/

Motivational Wednesday ;

 

 

 

 

Spring is well and truly underway, if a little cold! and so I thought I'd share a rare few of my goals and aims for the next and upcoming month!.

 

Reading - Seems to have finally popped up in my March events to do, So far I've jumped on the nerd wagon with 'Pride and Prejudice' afar from saying ' it was boring...it's actually not a bad book...more suited to those 'romantic and inspiring folks' I think.

 

Walk more - Instead of taking the car everywhere and being lazy, and saving petrol and being an 'eco warrior' at the same time...win win situation.

 

Less concious of judgemental people - Those who knew me last year learnt to know I constantly worried about what people thought of my appearance and whatnot, I'm starting to learn other people's opinions aren't important...moreso than my own.

 

Choosing homeopathic remedies for Anxiety disorder -  Instead of going out thinking ' oh panic I'll never cope with it' I've learnt to use more remedies to help calm me in nervous moments, Mint herbal tea, mint chewing gum, lavender and cammomile spray are among a few.

 

Opening up to people - As one I was never exactly brilliant at opening up to people, I found the more I was around a stranger the more nervous I became, slowly I've learnt to open up and explain my situations, worries or problems to those close to me, has helped alot and has relieved a few things of my chest , 'Dont be scared to ask somone for help, they've probably experienced what your'e experiencing right now'.
