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. 

Look at them... desperate to fit in (Picture: Telegraph)

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.

Washed up

Hi everyone!

I'M BACK!!! I know it’s been forever, I’m like one step away from having my face on the side of a milk bottle. Please accept my sincerest apologies guys. (For those who don’t want to hear the miserable and depressing back story skip pass the below paragraph). Yeah, I thought it was about time, what do think of the new layout, hope you like it. I had fun making it, so further additions will come soon. *Oh yeah !*(^_ -) d

Well from the last post I did in April quite a lot of sad emotional things have been happening in my life and although blogging makes me happy, I felt I just couldn’t face it. *Don’t worry I’m not trying to bring out the violin or anything lol*. I didn’t want to leave a negative impression on you guys, so taking a break, rebuilding my confidence and healing my pain seemed like the right thing to do. I hope you understand and I hope I haven’t offended or upset anyone, I really didn’t mean to.

********************

Anyhoo enough talking about what has past, time to find my feet and get back on track.

So how’s it going? What have you guys been up too?

Can you believe this is summer? First peeing it down with rain and this week beautiful hot sunshine, *I love it* the sun just makes you want to be outside, getting involved and having fun. I really want to get things going this summer, but i'll keep you all update on what I do and what events are going on. A lot of the time the weather is used as an excuse to stay in, not see your friends or to just be unhappy *I am so guilty of this – big time*, but really the only one missing out is yourself. End of the day time has not stopped, you’ve just missed out on a whole day/week  - stupid! :P

For no reason at all a pic of Kyz :)

These days I’m inspired to get more into photography and really get the most out my pictures. I really want to learn about angles, various camera settings, lighting and editing, so come rain or shine I will improve! I might even take a course *yes another one*, I can’t help it I just have a hunger to learn. – if only Mrs. Marley could hear me now, she’d be so proud :D

Ok I’m totally waffling now, I’ll wrap this post up. But it feels so good to be writing again and thank you to everyone for your love and support.

Take Care

Forgetful With Age, Are We?

Hey everyone,

How are you all doing?

So let me give you a quick catch up with what's going on with me. So last week was my birthday and I'm not even going to the actual day was pants. One reason for this is my birthday fall on a Wednesday so most people are at work, so for the daytime it was me and Kyzer, pampering ourselves. Which to be fair, isn't that bad, but having your friends around is better. 

Messing around with Kyz <3

I was going to meet one friend for lunch but that didn't happen and neither did the meet up for dinner kmt! Honestly its one day of the year, the day never changes. And you’re really going to come to me with excuses?

I want action! LOL *jokes*

Anyway the weekend was a bit better some family and friends came over to the house. Which was nice. I’m the person would doesn't really like a big fuss, just keeping it simple. So plenty of food, music and games until silly o'clock :)

I was also taken out for mini dinners with friends who live a bit further out, I should have taken more pictures really. Its cute little moments like that you really should record.

Gotta love plant close ups

Gift-wise I did ok, considering the I’m all grown up now I wasn’t expecting much, I won’t list them though just out of respect. I did however get a beautiful bunch of flowers. Which I know isn’t really a big deal for most people but I never get flowers so I thought these were pretty cool.

Simple but beautiful, just the way I like it

This was one of my favorite gifts from my ‘Girly’, it’s this really cute photo album and notebook. These days I’ve been speaking a lot about wanting to do more with friends and family and travel more. So I was so chuffed and touched to get this. And this has given me the boost I needed to update my camera – seriously there are phones better lol. Or I could even update my computer, actually I have a slight confusion to make, that’s why i haven’t been blogging as much because its finally deciding to die. We see what happens first ^_^
Aside from birthday stuff things have been erm… interesting but I won’t sour the mood of this post so I’ll say it in another (which well come hopefully soon). 

This post is getting kind of long so I’ll wrap it up for now, hope your well.

Bye for now x

Get Your Colours Up

awww these are so cute, i want them!! :)
