British Heritage.

So last week was pretty mediocre. I partook in the usual routine of work, gym and TV followed by sleep with the exception of going to see 'Jane Eyre' at the cinema with Helen on Tuesday. The film was good but highly depressing and due to the length lacked true character development (I'm assuming the TV adaption is better).

I spent most of my weekend on the M25/in the spazmobile but I did have a lovely time with Emily and Zahra and much like I do you I wish they lived closer. Reigate's alright, I was expecting a bit of a shithole but it was quite posh.

I haven't really trialled any new cosmetics recently but I did recently (last Thursday) buy a new handbag from New Look...

...and this dress from Topshop...

 Yeah I know, both items are relatively bland but I wanted something new to wear in Reigate and I can only really afford staple pieces I can wear over and over...and over again. FML.

I also know that you'd rather see a photo of me modelling them (as you're a perv like that) but in order to get this blog out to you in time before you go to NYC I took a short-cut.
Things I'm loving:

Jersey Shore!

'If you don't go to the gym you don't look good,
If you don't tan...you're pale,
and if you don't do laundry, you aint got no clothes!'

The above is grammatically incorrect sure, but no truer statement has ever been said.


It is amaze and if you're not already watching it you must start. By all accounts, this week's episode is going to be awesome as Ronnie beats up The Situation and he gets carried away on a stretcher.

I think I will leave you for now and perhaps return with a better entry soon as I am tired. ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Things I want:

Presents from...

Week Ending 18th September 2011

So my week began and ended in the usual way, which is a bit of a let down.

Monday: I cursed British society and the necessity of working (9-5, Monday-Friday) for a living and not being born to wealth/the Windsors.

Tuesday - Wednesday: Bleugh.

Thursday: Good times, the moment I had been waiting for arrived...it was time for my 9 weekly hair cut/dye job. It had gotten to the point where I was counting down the days and then hours until I got my trusty full fringe cut back in, as I was sick of the sight of my forehead and quickly developing wrinkles.

As you well know my dearest Brannen, I love a good fringe. I feel it instantly makes me look more 'trendy' and youthful. However, I also fear that in a few weeks I will get back in the same pattern. I will get envious of those with fringeless faces/effortless natural style and pledge to grow it out and so on and so fourth.

I attach a photo of my fringe for your viewing pleasure and ease of reference (taken 16/09/11):


Friday: Belly aches all day and then Zaks for dinner (courtesy of a 2 for 1 voucher). Ryan Related came round in the evening annnnnd....my sofa broke!!! FML.

Today's Saturday and this morning I went to the gym. I ran 10K and it was a struggle from the outset which made it even harder when I received criticisms on my technique (as per our texts). I'd like to take this moment to give a a shout out to 'Limp Biskit', as I believe they may have helped me reach my desired distance. I recently decided that a cheesy rock workout play list was the way forward and I have discovered that it works most effectively, with 'Rollin' and 'My Way' being exceptionally energising. I will keep you up-to-date with future effective workout songs should you find this beneficial?

I was supposed to go to the city today but couldn't be arsed. I'm going to sit on my arse on the side of the sofa that isn't broken, watch shit I sky+ in the week and cuddle the pug.

I really enjoyed your last Blog so I will take some inspiration from you and list a few items I am enjoying and wanting.


Enjoying:
 TV: BBC's 'The Body Farm'.

I made no secret that the loss of 'Waking the Dead' left a hole in my heart but thankfully the BBC took the initiative of creating a spin-off choosing to concentrate on WTD's most boring character. But they have the last laugh because I actually enjoyed it and I still want to be a forensic scientist (and work with sexy posh Harry from ‘Silent Witness’).

 I’ve been loving nail varnishes at the moment, in fact I read this interesting article on the Daily Mail yesterday lunch time, I recommend a read as I very much agree with the content.
I find that I am buying more cosmetics (particularly bright nail varnishes) as a means of treating myself these days.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2037499/Feeling-pinch-Then-stick-lippy-How-cosmetic-sales-continue-defy-downturn.html

 My faves of the moment are:

 Barry M’s ‘Pink Flamingo’ and No.7’s ‘Mojo’, a great mat shade of pink and a pleasant shade of reflective orange respectively.
 
Things I want:

A high waisted black skirt for work, a chunky silver ring (to usher in my wearing of silver) and this t-shirt:


Topshop Cross Tee by Realitee. It's Rock n' Roll.

I don't want this Pug vest from Topshop:
  ...because my mummy bought it for me as a surprise last week!!! (strange and surprising)

There are actually loads of things I want but I’ll keep it brief as not to bore you. I too want one of those Clinique chubby balms (by the way).

 OK, so that’s pretty much it for today. I’d like to say I enjoyed writing this but I didn’t really, BUT I do enjoy keeping in touch and love reading your Blogs so this is a good compromise.

I hope you enjoyed this Blog and welcome any feedback and suggestions to improve.

Love and Pugs!

You're so lucky. You're going to get a new one of these at the end of every week. <3 <3

Currently reading

'The Snowman' by Jo Nesbo.

He's 'the next Stieg Larsson' don't you know.

Goes down well with a nice mug of hot chocolate and a relatively early night (earliness dependant on how gripping it will be, obvs).

Don't worry Brannen, I will provide a review on completion. I bet you can barely wait.
