I'd Eat You

Hey everyone,

Someone left this random super dark apple on my desk the other day... creepy!


Looks like something out of Death Note - not eating it

Last month went by so fast, its nearly Christmas already. I don't really celebrate Halloween but I do like dressing up and being creative with paints/make up and watching horrors. I'm not really the jumpy-type who cowers beneath the bucket, I'm kind of used to (not sure if that's a good thing), so I sit back and watch the carnage commence. I've been watching been The Walking Dead recently, inspired by this I come across a cool free app which give me this effect.

The app is called Zombie Booth, you can make your face into a 3D animated zombie. I will probably uninstall it after Halloween, because what is the point but its fun none the less. I quite like that even the ugliest picture can look more interesting. I've seen some really cool zombie tutorials too given an even better effect but...'ain't nobody got time for that'.
 

Did you do anything this Halloween?

 

Bye

Put The Phone Down

Hey everyone,

Someone said to me the other day that the average person can't go over a day without interacting with a digital device. From the moment I wake... To the moment I go back to bed... and all the hours, minutes and seconds in between,  I'm always with my phone. I'm sure that's true for most people. Admittedly I'm not that bad, and I often forget or am too busy to reply or check social media straight away.

The rise of mobile technology is increasingly turning us into an ‘always on’ and ‘always elsewhere’ culture. And this change has profound consequences for the very thing that motivated the innovation in technology in the first place: Connecting with others.

Seriously, these days the back of my friends phone faces me more then my friend who was actually talking to me. We see elements of this video everyday, quite the eye opener!

Anyhoo just thought I'd share with you, hope your having a good week.

Bye!

Pancake Face

Hey everyone,

How’s it going? So I took a little break from blogging I thought I’d take some time off work and not tell anyone so I could be alone with my thoughts, and do all the things I normally don’t have time to do.

Yeah that did not work out, I totally forgot it was half term so I had to do my Aunty duties and spend time with the nephews. I’m so tired, that’s the one good thing about being an Aunty – you can give the kids back! LOL! Nah it wasn’t that bad, I did have fun it just took a lot of energy. 

we went from this to quite mild so quickly

On top of that between the boys and unpredictable English weather I got sick! *Capital B-OOO!* I was so grumpy, I was getting on my own nerves (if that’s even possible :S). Saying that though something about the snow, just turns me into a kid again I love it , so I probably asking to get sick *serves me right* lol

Anyhoo back to what I enjoy blogging, yesterday was Pancake day *woo hoo!*. As simple as they are to make seriously I can’t do it, but sister can and she loves making them so guess I’m sorted. I’d really like to try those American style pancakes one day, they look yummy, their all thick and stuff, with the syrup ohhh *drools*.

lol this looks so bad :D

So did you guys make any pancakes? And what do you like on them?

Need Money?

Hey Everyone!

Ahh autumn, the leaves are falling and the winds are blowing! You got to love this time of year its cold enough to wear and hat and scarf but warm enough not to draw for the big winter coat. Oh yeah, I’m a layers fan!

But that’s not what I wanted to talk about, I’m not sure about the rest of you guys but here in the UK things are getting tight, money just isn’t scratching as far as it did before. Plus we’re not far from Christmas :(

So what can I do to get more money? (to be honest I’ve been asking this question since I was a kid) I’m no expert or anything but here are a few ideas.

Selling on Ebay - According to Ebay we are all sitting on £450 worth of unwanted but highly sellable items. *Time to raid the cupboards me thinks*

Piggy bank – yep back to basics! You know when your purse is getting a big bulky from pennies or maybe not buy that coffee on the way to work. Pop your change in your piggy bank, it soon adds up (I’ve been doing this for years!)

Opinions – There are loads of sites that will pay you for doing short surveys – *hey, you’re on the internet anyway might as well* Here is a few I like Toluna , YouGov , Valued Opinions

Car boot sale -  I know what your thinking and no I haven’t lost my mind, their actually quite trendy these day as are charity shops. It’s a great place to find bargains, and there’s always one nearby. However check the weather before hand, have plenty of change and don’t forget to smile!

Banking  - Make sure the money you do have is in the right place, think about ISA’s and various saving accounts *I sound like a grandma! Lol but it’s all good advice*

I hope you guys found that useful, these are the main ideas I could think of but if I discover anything else as always I’ll share :)

Bye x

iDissapointed

I can’t believe I’m blogging about this… for those who know me, you’ll already know I’m not the biggest Apple fan. I think their overpriced and overhyped and after the latest launch announcement I stand strongly behind my statement. After all the waiting, rumors and speculations about an iPhone 5 it turns out to be a ‘new’ iPhone 4S.  – What was that, the sigh of disappointment? Yeah I KNOW! Kmt!

Basically it’s the same as the iPhone 4 but with a few extra perks, which in a nutshell are

• A new chip (same as iPad 2) that makes the graphics faster
• 8 megapixel rear camera – but seriously in today’s market would you expect any less!
• Voice-controlled talking assistant – like KITT from Knight Rider (well sort of…)
• Makes decent calls (apparently)

 Hmm… I still was expecting a lot more, especially for £400-£500 quid. This isn’t enough to convert me I’m afraid, the Samsung Galaxy SII I believe is still a better buy – cheaper too :P

Who knows maybe I’m speaking too soon...


UPDATE: Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011) 

...?

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of entries I really haven’t the time to sit down and chill *sigh* - it’s so annoying though. You know when things are quiet, you have time to yourself, time to have long-ass baths and have a routine *ahhh*. Then suddenly thing get so busy and you can’t do any of that. Why now does everyone want my attention and time?

Oh well it well soon blow over…right?


Take Care ;)

Little Black Cloud

Morning everyone,

You ever had one of those day were it feels like a black cloud is following you? I have, in fact have been having them a lot recently. yesterday just happened to be one of them. But I did to keep my composure (most of the time) and get on with what needed to be done. So every time something happen I’d write a word or short sentence as a draft text message. Although I’m not explaining a lot I think you can get a good idea of how my day went.

"Early start. Annoying hair. Dentist! Running late. Wrong weather predictions. Sweaty. Family issues. Stressful work. Period! No time for lunch. Friend got attacked. Forgot to send rejection email. Spilled yogurt down yourself. Left alone. Working late. Walking home. Favorite headphones broken. Late night phone calls. Feeling guilty. Can’t sleep."

So yeah…that was my day!

I hope you all had and are having a good day though. Reading it back its quite funny, but I know yesterday I was SO not laughing.

Threading Nice, Bumps Bad

Hi All,

Hmm… today…yes…today, today. I’m feeling a bit ‘meh’ today, don’t worry nothing is wrong it’s just…last weekend the sun was shining, the birds were singing an all was cool. I decided to do some shopping to look for something to wear for a upcoming fancy dress party. Then I came across a little booth where these ladies were doing treading and I thought ’Go on treat yourself Faye, you are starting to look like Wolverine these days, so you deserve this’. So I did, it wasn’t too bad, it was quick and it looked great, for the whole weekend I felt good. Then on the third day my eyebrows started tingling then burning and the next morning woke up with nasty white bumps all around my eyebrows *ewww*. I’ve been trying to use my fringe/bangs to cover it up, but I’m sure I’m making it worst. Which is making me stress, which is making breakout more *ahhhh*. It’s so annoying this happened the first time I tried treading, but I just put it down to the cleanser I was using. But maybe it just not for me, such a shame because it looking so good at first and after the swelling goes down. Ah who I’m I kidding I’m probably still do it again though, just make sure I bury myself under the sheet whist I go through the ‘ugly’ spell.

After some research I discovered that this is actually a common problem, which sometimes can to solved by moisturising your eyebrows. Yeah, I thought it was strange at first too -  The skin under and around your eyebrows and can come up in those horrible bumps when dry and irritated. Also when you do get your eyebrows done cleanse, cleanse, cleanse especially if you have oily skin and try to avoid touching the area with unclean hands. Another reason you could possible get the bumps is a reaction to the healing gel the beautician puts on when they finished.

UPDATE: keeping the area clean and moisturised has worked wonders I rarely get bumps now and the whole skin around it looks much healthier, so I don't feel the need to cover up anymore.

Sorry guys that was quite a long post about my threading hang ups, how boring this must be? So I’ll stop right here.

Hope all is well everyone. Do you guys suffer from bumps too?
