Running from Camera

Running from Camera

I think that this is such a fab idea for a blog.. and it is very simple !

This blogger puts his camera on self timer for 2 seconds - presses the button - then runs as far as he can from the camera !

It has come out with some delightful shots !

I think I shall go outside and try this today, so expect an update of me running away from my camera !

Just home from snapping the night away...

I have just got back from doing some photos for the Healthy Choice Awards, which was very enjoyable and I am now very sleepy and up early. Fingers crossed I sleep.. I am rubbish with sleep in general !

I am really craving a lovely cup of coffee like this
( but lets be honest, its going to be a cup of rose tea )

Listen to some Oasis
( I will be listening on my headphones and not live...clearly)

To curl up just like this and have a nap

Oh and here are some useful websites I found in the Sainsbury magazine aggges ago.. I am not sure if I already showed you them, but here they are anyway !

I have joined TimeBank and I am hoping to do some volunteering with them ! Do-it is another fab site, which I am yet to join, however it is on my to do list this week ! Which by the way keeps getting longer and longer !

Oh and do check out http://www.responsibletravel.com/ !
It has lots of Gap year travel ideas to help local people, the environment and to develop yourself! Of course they also have other sections including one on Volunteer travel !

I know thats some of you will be very interested by these sites and others may not ! But I thought I would share them anyway as I have found some interesting things on them !

I think I was mant to be going to bed ??

Oh one more thing... A big thank you to each and every lovely reader I have and each of you who comment or do not, thank you for stopping by!

Good night ! xx

My foggy mind...

The snow has gone and has been replaced with a foggy mist !

I am trying to make some business cards as I have a few jobs coming up, just wish I had sorted this out last week! Did you know that on http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/ you can get free business cards! I only found out the other day...yet it took me till today to actually go onto the website ! Silly!

The past few weeks I have had a huge craving for siting in an american diner (back in the 50's of course) sipping bottomless cups of coffee and being saved by milkshakes and handsome strangers.

Good golly

My days have been spent ....

taking photos

Playing in the snow

Reading the National Geographic magazine old and new.

Looking at all my vintage treasures and collecting new items for my new shop!!

Walking round my room in my pretty shoes as the roads are way to ice ridden for shoes such as these. In fact it is wellies and walking shoes only I think!

I realised my pretty Betsey Johnson socks go lovely with them too!

Sipping cups upon cups of rose tea !

Shoes: Topshop
Socks: Betsey Johnson

The last part to my Aussie adventure

AUSSIE FUN !

At last I am getting the chance to do a full post and not just wack some photos of the (beautiful) snow on here ! Before Christmas I had a temp part time job - which was more like full time working in a toy shop! I had fun, worked hard and on Christmas Eve I had my last day ! Yay that was when I realised I had not told you all about the fantastic night out in Manchester I had with the Aussie crew !

I just quickly scanned back in my Blackberry to find the date the Aussie night was...So 10th December I rushed home from work, got changed and rushed back to town to jump on a train to Manchester. As always I stood up, why I do this ill never know.. I have some odd complex that if I have to walk too far down the isle of the train for a seat I may get stuck...I would not and it is so silly but I guess thats me !

I arrived in Manchester and went to find Gemma at the Nexus art cafe where we had a mug of green tea and worked out where Hula bar was and gues what ! It was just round the corner from where we were- fantastic !

Hula Bar is situated in Manchester delightful Northern Quarter, why I had never been I will never know ! We sneaked in and headed towards the bar where Emma (one of the lovely 1000heads girls) came over to us and pointed out where the Aussie party was! I am so rubbish at walking into a bar when I am meant to be meeting people, so my usual tactic is to head to the bar, order a drinking and then slowly scan the room for who I am meeting ! Thanks to Emma I did not have to do this !

Lots of cocktails were drank, false lashes applied and lots of talk about how addicted we have all become to the yummy Aussie products ! Shots, cocktails and anything we wanted were being brought to the table every second by the lovely lifeguard Simon.


Leena the make up artists was applying eyelashes and touching up everyones make up during the night ! I have never worn false eye lashes and now I am quite addicted to them !

The fab photographer Charles Turner snapped lots of photos of all the fun going on at Hula bar ! He even let me try out his fisy eye lens...which was fun and I now know I must buy one !

Some scrummy snacks were supplied by Walrus Restaurant which is the sister restaurant to Hula bar ! The food was fantastic it is a must try next time you are in Manchester !

Gareth the spectacular magician wowed us away with some tricks.. I used to be such a magic geek when I was a kid so this was quite pleasing !



From talking to all the lovely girls at the Aussie night out I realised that one of the most popular products which we all liked was the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor ! I am such a big fan of this and have been before I became an Aussie Angel ( which I must say has been fantastic )!

I also noticed that the girls I spoke to were also very pleased with the new Aussie Volume products. These are the ones I have been using since I spotted them on the shelf at ASDA and Boots! Being on special offer for two for £6.00 made them just a little more tempting too. They smell lovely as all Aussie products do but I also acutally find they give my hair volume which I can not say for all Volume products I have tried !

Lots of thanks and big hugs to everyone at Aussie and 1000Heads

Another snow fall.

We had another snow fall on Monday, school were closed, the sky was white and of course... the roads were full of snow ! On my wellies went again and my mum and I visited our neighbours to see if they wanted anything from the shops. I took my camera with me on our littlewalk but was quite worried about it getting caked in snow, so every now and then I would wrap it back up in its warm bag !

Helping out others is such a pleasing thing, and everyone was so happy they did not have to trudg out into the snow. By the time I had dropped off everyone's requests my toes were numb so it was lovely to get home to fresh coffee and a warm fire !

Next up is the Aussie night out !

I could not do the post about it before Christmas as I felt it needed some time and love to go into it, and working a lot prevented this ! But here I am!

Happy New Year everyone!! I am sorry that I am onl just getting round to wishing you all a fantastic year ahead !
This year I want to focus on my dreams...and that is a fact! What about you?!
