RAWR I is a leopard!!!

Today is dress up day in work and I am a leopard!!! My outfit is actually lingerie from ebay with a black top and leggings underneath. I'm a leopard because we had a limited edition 'Jungle Jelly' out in our Lush store and we get to dress up as Jungle Animals :D.

I done my eye makeup with Urban Decay, Deluxe Shadow box, colours Honey and Zero. I totally adore this set and I would definately recommend it to everyone! I used Lush Utrabalm on my eye lids and then applied the Honey all over my eye before using a smaller brush to do the spots. I then used the same bush just to deepen the colour of my Brow and join it up to the eye.

My hair was a right mission, I backcombed and then rounded the front sections of my hair before spraying with alot of hairspray to give myself ears.

Overall, I'd say my outfit was a definite hit!! (esp. with the boys ;) )

7th Febuary, Christian Feast Day

07/02/10 and Darahgna (Angharad) here!

Today I was working so I took my photos in the staff room. I am a Lushette in the Bath store and I absolutely love it! My photo is take in the staff room hence the posters saying lovely :D One of the girls was sick so I had to stay on an extra half hour but I got a lunch break so I got to chill out for five. I don't think people realize how hard it is to work in Lush. You have to learn lots of ingredients and what certain products do and who their right for. Nonetheless you get to play with bubbles and bath bombs and work with kick ass people.

Our dress code is black and white so I had a nice polka dot skirt and a plain white t-shirt with a cardie. The skirt is from H&M about a year back and the top and cardie are cheap things from Tesco.

My boots are just kick ass, their doc martens and I got them for christmas from my mammy. Their limited edition ones so I was so excited when I got them.

My day have been really good overall, work was quiet so we mainly cleaned and danced to pass the time and when I got home we decided to watch some movies. We watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I thought would be a crappy romcom, but I really really enjoyed it. It's one of those films you can switch off too.

I also finished my book, Grave Surprise by Charlene Harris. It's a really epic and awesome book by the same author who writes True Blood (the Sookie Stackhouse series) and it's about a girl named Harper who was struck by lightening and now has the ability to discover how a person died if she's near their body or bones. The book is a thriller and she goes off with her brother to try and solve the murder of a little girl. Very Gripping, I'd advice you all to read it!

I'm now going to go off and chill out before doing some Philosophy work.

Anyway, love and cwtches to you all!!

Day 3 - 3/1/2010

Hi, Everyone!

So, 'tis the third day of the year, and to celebrate this momentous occasion, I have been attempting to do some work. The question I have been attempting to tackle is about the metrical devices used in a poem called "Never Again Would Birds' Song Be The Same" by Robert Frost, and another called "Waking with Russell" by a poet called Don Paterson. They are both fiercely beautiful poems, but nothing is really inspiring me about the poets' metrical choices, and so I have been getting more and more frustrated as the day has gone on.
My New Year's Resolutions are mainly to do with work, and healthy eating. Very standard. Today, I ate pasta for breakfast, because there was nothing else in the house. But I suppose, at least it was vaguely healthy.
Having been inside for the whole day, the boy and I decided to go for a play in the frozen puddles. We took my camera with us and he took some arty farty shots of me looking into the distance and pushing my fringe back and so on. You know, the usual stuff.
Anyway, here is one of the ensuing photographic mementos. I am wearing a dress from Cult that was reduced from £65 to £10, a pair of biker boots which after having looked at these photos, I may wear less often..., a green neckerchief from a vintage shop in brighton, and a plain black long sleeved thermal top. Oh and black tights. Price of entire outfit is probably in the £20 region, not including the boots which I am now taking a rapid dislike to!
Today hasn't been a very happy day, but the walk cheered me up muchos! Fresh air is key, methinks. I will leave you with another cheeky photo, of the sunset through a shard of puddle-ice.
Love, Candy. x
