Keep it to your Selfie

It wasn't that long ago that the word 'selfie' wouldn't much to many people, but these days it has been pushed, rammed and punched into our faces. But its not all smiles and high angles? Well actually it is, the whole point to say to the world 'Look at me!'

According to Wikipedia: A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking, like Instagram.

From macaque, to celebrities and even the Politicians are at it essentially just showing off. The reason it really bugs me; apart from the monkey (I like that one hehe) is do we really need to know what you're wearing? who your with? or where you are?....uh NO!

We already know you're successful and have attractive looking friends, you don't have to be so smug about it.

This hyper band wagon has turn 'Average Joe' vain boredom pics, into needy attempts to attract friends (or rather 'Likes'). Making it as uncool as taking pictures of old flip-flops.

But there is light at the end of the iPhone lens, the 'No Make Up Selfie' campaign has raised an amazing amount of money and awareness for Cancer Research. Which is a wonderful thing that will help many, but has criticized of some women missing the point. Point being to get yourself Checked!

Pictures are meant to be fun, not an attempt to cool and boosty.

Pancakes Please

Hi everyone,

So last year I did my first attempt at American pancakes which worked out well, so this year will be another trial and taste attempt. I really enjoy pancakes, I love how easy they are to make and I especially love how cheap they are on the pocket. I came across this recipe from Recipe Girl and I had to give it a try - link can be found here --> Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

So this is what it was suppose to look like... 

My pancakes looked nothing like this! It looked like vomit on a plate, I didn't even want put a picture up. I think the problem with mine was the sugar; I didn't have Castor sugar for the cinnamon filling so tried to improvise. To be fair they tasted OK, I just got to work on the look.

So I retreated to normal pancakes - Simple but it works

Did you making pancakes? Or will you be trying the recipes above?
