Journey To Weightloss City: Week 1

Ello, ello, ello.... long time no see/hear/speak/read, I know, blame my work schedule, working two jobs really murders your social life/spare time, but thank the good Lord I have today off so I can finally catch up on my blogging...

The title of this post pretty much sums it up, I'm trying to lose weight. I know I'm not crazy overweight or anything but I know I could do with shifting a couple of pounds. It's not purely for the aesthetics, I have really bad eating habits... here's a short list of them

- I eat pretty much everything

- I skip breakfasts 

- My portion control is non-existent 

- I graze/snack constantly throughout the day

- I eat late at night (as in 11pm/12am/1-2am.. yeh I know.. bad right) 

- I binge when I have an unexpected change in emotion... eg. "Hey girl you just won £5 on a scratchcard!" ... "OOOO LEMME BREAK OUT THE CHOCOLATE/CRISPS/BURGERS TO CELEBRATE!!" 

or "Hey guurl, I kinda made a hole in that top you let me borrow, sorry" "Ahhh man, I loved that top, guess I'll have to eat that whole pizza and cake that's sitting in my fridge... the top would have wanted me to" 

- I don't drink enough water

I've got a list of bad lifestyle habits but let me not overload you with my wrong doings 

SOOOO ANYYYWAY

I'm trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle, I'm not going on any diets because 

Seriously, I don't have time for diets... for me personally they just don't work, and they don't last so I'd rather change my overall lifestyle.. not dramatic changes, realistic ones that can be monitored and stuck to. 

I decided to post this here because I'm hoping by telling lots of people about it, I'll actually be able to stick to it... I'm going to start posting what I ate during the week and what exercises I've been doing (don't worry, I'm not turning this into a diet blog, you'll still get the usual shizniz) 

There will be some before and after shots coming at the end of the month so brace yourselves..... 

If anyone else is doing this sort of healthy eating thing, or has any tips, HOLLA!! 

I've Just Been Punched In The Face

.............By myself....Seriously, you would think this is just a funny joke to start my post but I have literally just punched myself in the face (by accident of course) 

Just thought you'd like to know the kind of person I am.... one that punches herself in the face

Nothing Better Than A Bit Of Racism To Start Your Day

So this post was going to be a "Face Of The Night/OOTN", as I went to a friends' black and white themed party and thought, why not show you lovlies what I wore..... but then, on my journey home this morning, a lovely lady decided to spread her ignorance to the masses.... 

Cue story.... 

I was at the bus stop waiting for the bus as you do, and I get impatient when I'm at bus stops, and also I felt someone giving me dirty looks next to me, so I walked a little bit to see if the bus was coming round the corner; which it was...so I walked back... keep in mind I had been waiting at the stop for about 15 minutes... this lovely lady was in front of me, and she was with another girl, or woman, couldn't tell, who was sitting at the bus stop... bus comes, and I let the lady on because it's polite to let those who are waiting or already in front of you on first... and her child/daughter/lover/friend whatever is still sitting at the bus stop so I get on and she gets on after me.....

Lovely Lady: "DON'T YOU KNOW THERE'S A F*CKING QUEUE!!!" 
Me: "Yes, I was in the queue" 
Lovely Lady: "I've been waiting for 15 minutes for this f*cking bus and you just come out of nowhere and get on it!!" 
Me: "K, I'm really tired, I don't have time for this..." 
Lovely Lady: " Well I don't have time for you you F*CKING NEGRO!!!" 
Me: "Ooooooh nice bit of ignorance there, I hope you're proud of yourself, seriously, I'm really tired, and you clearly just want to make another dumb "racism on public transport" video so the daily mail can have another story so just stop here"
Lovely Lady: "OH JUST SHUT UP YOU DIRTY LITTLE B*TCH! I've got a pension plan and you just...." 

I kicked her in the face at that point... 

Ha! Just kidding! No I didn't get the last bit of whatever she was on about because she started harping on to her companion.... 

So yay... THANK YOU RANDOM LADY FOR YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM! ... I tried to take a photo of her but she was facing the other way.... it took so much out of me to hold my tongue and not go  crazy because this is the nonsense I can't condone..I just sat and stared into space... and when I got off the bus I told her to have a nice day. 

Whatever..... I'm not wishing bad on anyone but what goes around comes back around so good luck to her. It's just a shame that there are still ignorant and cruel people out there that can't accept people for who they are..... I pray it's not always going to be like this.

Melted Tights...Yay, or Go Away ?

Ohmygawshh I've done two posts this week!! It shows how much of a poo blogger I am when stuff like this excites me.....This is just a brief post to see what everyone's opinions are on the new "melted tights" that are hitting the web. It is a really unique design which I do admire (the unique/innovativeness, not the actual tights).. the tights look like something is melting down them. Here's a couple....

 Black on Black $55

 Glitter $50

 Neon Yellow $50

 Multi-tone Bubblegum $50

 Messy Black and White $55

 Neon Pink $50

 Silver "Limited Edition" $60

Neon Green $50


Now I'm not even going to lie, for me personally, these look like someone had a multi-coloured accident that just so happened to drip symmetrically down both legs....it's like what I would imagine you'd find in a baby Care Bear's nappy. I think I would prefer it if the melting started lower down, maybe thigh or knee level

What are your opinions? Would you try these out... actually, more importantly, would you pay $50 (£31.60) for these bad boys? That's what I want to know! I'm pretty sure other stores/brands are going to whip out their own versions of these, and to be honest I'm thinking they might be more "wearable". 

You know what, I'm going to attempt to make my own versions... or similar.. I've been meaning to customise some tights for a while, I think this has spurned me on... stay tuned :-) 

Also just wanted to share with whoever cares, I have finally completed both careers of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit with 3 stars... WOOOP WOOOP!! 

It was "The Duel" on the racer career that dragged this game out for me... so frickin hard! 
If anyone else plays this, let me know how far you've got. Toodles x

Website Of The Week: Your Eyes Lie

Ello ello ello.... I haven't done a "website of the week"  in a while, most likely because I've spent most of my free time trying to complete both careers in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit...(I am one assignment away from getting all stars on the entire game if anyone is wondering...no?.. well now you know)I'm telling you, that game is dangerously addictive...aaaanyways... I'm a tad partial to this site... Not going to lie though, it is pretty similar to Black Milk but me thinkies it's a little cheaper.... these are my favourites

Space Race Leggings £38

Digital Bohemian Maxi Skirt £40

Logogram Maxi Dress £26

DayAfter Scarf £30

LAK Oversize Tee £40

Feather Digital Print Shorts £35

Twin Tee £30

Pleated Moderated Trousers £35

Undeniable Digital Tee £31

I wouldn't say I'm a mahoosive fan of this site but they do have some nice bits and bobs... it's deffo worth a gander :-)

New Year, Same Me, More Posts....and Clothes

Hi girlies/guylies!! First off HAPPY NEW YEAR :-) ....A few days late but better now than never eh?...I'm going to keep this brief..not brief like my other posts where I say will be brief but somehow they end up longer than my dissertation... See, I've started waffling... No but I'm keeping this brief because I've had about 2 hours sleep therefore am ridonkulously tired...and when I'm tired I speak absolute nonsense..like seriously

Ok... to my point in 3....2.....1..... Well I don't think I had a point to this post, I had just realised that my last post was around a month ago and felt really bad... so I think this is more of a heads-up... I will have more time on my hands by God's grace to post a lot more frequently than I have been because my track record has been PANTS! Hopefully I'll post once a week/fortnightly at least..so yes, expect a major haul coming up soon...and a hair post I've been meaning to do for yonks... but for now, cake then bed :-)

Because I like pictures I may as well post a few images that made me smile this year (all 5 days of it)

Taraa for now
