Something New each Day

Hiya Guys, It was the week of the Strictly Come Dancing Semi-Final and not a voice could be heard in the household as I sat holding my breath at the 10 dances I saw. However, Sunday was a different story as you heard shrieks of pleasure and a long sad cry of sadness! Yes I am a huge SCD fan but I normally leave my comments to my Tumblr blog but I felt very passionate about this week's results - not for the right reason either. I have loved this years line up and I believed it to have been the best semi-final line up ever. My baby Jay coming back on the screen, the grace and drama of Kellie, the Northerness of Georgia, the novice and improvement of Anita and the elegance of Katie. I have never struggled so much with favourites and struggled between Jay, Kellie and Anita. Which led me to the upset of this week's result because, although I believed the bottom 2 to be correct, the decision made by 3 judges was not the one I would have done and is the cause for a huge u...

Hiya Guys, I once again apologise for the lack of Music Friday, I had little time and no stand out aspect of music that I really wanted to talk about so please send me some suggestions for next week as I will be more free as I finish for the term. However, this means that I will try and do more normal posts this week and some are witty like this one and have some sort of useful advice. As we all know, it's Christmas soon which means that we are all of shopping in different places for those gifts for friends and family. This also means that you're going to be going shopping somewhere where shops are having sales and tempting you with everything from clothes to unnecessary trinkets. Don't worry, as a shopoholic I have been there (take yesterday for example where I went to wander around Oxford Road and bought £20 worth of stuff from H&M when I had gone for Xmas shopping) and I want to impart some wisdom I wish I knew. Here are a list of tips to make sure that ...

Hiya Guys, I am really getting into the Christmas mood this week and I decided to have a wack at one of the most Christmas like activities... ICE SKATING! I have never really gone before especially outside but due to it being cheap and the option for students getting a free drink, me and 2 friends decided to go to the National History Museum who had a Swarovski Ice Rink. It meant skating in the beautiful London air as the sun went down with the lights hung on all the trees. Everything seemed gorgeous as we sipped our free hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream. That was until we started skating! All the photos we got from the free picture booth shows me holding my friends hand and it all looks so friendly and sweet... honestly it was just because I would have fallen otherwise. I was absolutely awful compared to one of my friends who was a natural and the other who had 5 years of ice skating training, I mean I could barely let go of the barrier without someone holding me...

Hiya Guys, Hopefully the title and the day sort of show you what today's Music Friday  is going to be about. As I have been listening to Christmas music since about July, I have picked up a great playlist of Christmas songs, some of which I listened to while decorating my flat which you can read about that in my last post.  There will be a mix in this playlist and, although I love the classics and originals of songs, I thought that most people already know them so I'll throw together some modern ones, some of which are original and some of which are covers. Please don't hate, just appreciate and choose which ones you blast full volume or those that cause you to curse under your breath at me. Here are songs that are originals by artists: 1. Jingle Bell Pop by IM5 Even though the name sounds very similar to Jingle Bell Rock, it is nothing like it. Written by IM5's own Will Jay, it is upbeat, poppy and the video just makes me smile whenever I watch it. ...
