Hello Everyone!
This post is dedicated to my fluffy bundle of joy. Happy 5 months Jerry!
Just before Christmas me and my family got a kitten. At the time this little cutie was only 11 weeks old, he is now 5 months old and has grown so much since we first got him. If it was up to me I would stop him from growing and keep him little forever, but in a nice non-mean way. :)
In the short time we've had him, you would definitely know we had a kitten as he definitely lives up to the name. He has attacked and broken many toys, more or less ripped apart his scratching post and completely pulled down the Christmas tree twice whilst trying to climb it to grab a bauble. Along with those, he also likes to jump up the curtains and hang from them, my dads curtains are.... well very holey and well not very good at keeping your privacy. And the nets in my room are non existent after he pulled them down. The amount of times we've told him off, and still he keeps on, but I'm sure (hoping) that when he's older he will learn not to do it. Such a little pickle, who I love so very much.
The reason we got a kitten was because sadly our previous cat, Tom, died suddenly of renal failure. Not too sure what it is exactly all I know is that it made him very sad and he just didn't want to do anything so my dad made the difficult decision to save him and let him be put down. With much sadness and pain for weeks, we decided that we are a family who needs a pet (as we have always had at least one animal around) and once again needed a pet to fill that space. This is where Jerry came into our lives, and not quietly! aha The reasoning behind his name, which was my sisters choice, was that our last cat was called Tom (so Tom & Jerry- like the cartoon), we used to have a dog called Ben (so Ben & Jerry- like the Ice Cream), and we had guinea pigs called chocolate and cookie which ties all the names together. Clever thinking there Jess!
This little bundle of joy has brought our family so much happiness and laughter. Even when he does something bad, he finds a way to counteract it and do something silly, putting us all in hysterics. Also recently we decided to put him in a collar as he will be allowed outside soon, he really did not like this accessory, actually taking it off within hours of first putting it on. After putting it back on multiple times, each time he managed to find a way to get it off. He has now just given up on the idea of not wearing it and realised that no matter how many times he squirms out of it, we will put it back on.
Here are some photos of mr mischievous....
Do you guys have any pets? Have they done any funny/naughty things that always seem to put a smile on your face? Let me know. :D

Hello Everyone!
Being a 19 year old girl, I have to constantly deal with troublesome skin more often than I may want to. But I suppose it's not up to me, if it was, I would definitely have flawless skin without the need for - much - if any foundation. It would be much easier and less time consuming not having to worry about putting on and taking off the foundation, cleansing, toning and moisturising- all of this would not be necessary if you could have 'perfect' skin without having to consistently try to improve or prevent imperfections.
The harsh truth to this sparkly reality is that I do need to take care of my skin, especially when those pesky spots occur in the most inconvenient of moments. I go through phases of being really good with my skin routine to get rid of and keep the spots away, although I imagine like most people when you miss one day for whatever reason (for me it's usually because I'm tired and just want to sleep!) it produces a series of 'forgetting' the routine that was working so very well.
Lately, I have been doing well with my skincare, keeping up with every part. I have even been drinking endless amounts of water, bottles and bottles of the stuff- although the only downside is that I have been going to the loo an awful lot more than normal. I have seen great effects to my skin, it has helped to energise my dry skin and also keep me fit and healthy too. For many years I have always made sure that I have a bottle of water with me, when I go to bed, go to Uni, work....as you can never beat the feeling of being completely parched and 'downing' some fresh water. Ahhh.....
Also to help with my skincare daily I have been using Clearasil's ultra blemish + marks scrub. I use it during my morning wash and by using this before putting on any makeup makes my skin super soft, allowing the foundation to glide on without my face looking cakey. Along with this I also have been using their ultra rapid action treatment cream, which I put on those stubborn/big spots as it helps to reduce the redness and shrink it's size over a few hours. Together, I think that these face products compliment each other so well as I have seen vast improvements to my skin since using these. I believe that if you find something that works either together with another product or alone, keep up with it- using it daily- until it no longer works (which is often the case for having temperamental skin) or simply find that 'thing' that's works better.
Now I am not saying that you should go away and use everything I have mentioned as everyone's skin is different, tricks that work for me may not work for you. These are just the products and ideas that have made my skin appear healthier recently, but this may also change with the extremely cold weather we have in the UK at this time of year. You may have to experiment with a fair few products from various brands to find the 'perfect solution'- it took me long enough to get this!
I hope you enjoyed this small insightful look into my recent skincare boost, feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you use or have been loving on your skin. :D

Hello Everyone!
It's been a while since I posted on here, too long in fact. Life has kind of got in the way a bit. By that I mean that I've been kept busy with work, driving around and starting uni (and the mountains of work that has come along with it). However, as I am doing a journalism degree you'd think this blog would be blossoming with regular posts.... so this is what I am pledging to do from now.
I love writing and blogging is an amazing way to showcase your work, to express yourself. You can post what you like, and apparently when you like in my case ;) aha This blog will be a way for me to write about whatever I'm feeling like at the time, I find it too hard to focus on just one subject to blog about. Life is too great to choose just one thing as a constant theme.
Anyway, as usual I have rambled on, but I just wanted to put out there that I will be posting more frequently this year. 2015 will be an awesome year, just wait to see how it all unfolds. :D
Lots of Love, x
