Its another bath bomb from Lush today! I got SO many Lush products for my birthday (for which I will do a post on soon) so, so lucky and I'll never have to have a splurge again! Granny Takes A Dip (£3.35) has always taken my fancy, its bright and eye-catching but I'd never tried it. I was so happy with the result! *Attempts crappy Austin Powers voice* yeaaaah baby

It slowly releases lemon, ginger and black pepper essential oils. Yes, those ingredients do also sound like they would go well on some chicken... The effect is totally different in a bath, in a good way! Such a lovely bath bomb for de-stressing and chilling out. Another great bath-before-bed choice, the colours are amazing too, as you can see. Next time I'll try not to make it a bath bomb, but who knows :)

Its Valentines Day! Everyone is either all mushy or bitter... I'm single, but I'm still allowed to be mushy right? I have planned a night in, chilling out, relaxing and basically doing whatever the heck I feel like!

Ok, it looks like I've been AWOL for a bit (really need to schedule posts ha!) but I'm back - she says again. I'm sure a lot of you already know who Lily Pebbles is, she does this really cool post WEAR LIFE EATS and I fancied doing one. Mainly because I wanted to do a Weekend in Pictures (most recent one here) but didn't have enough pictures for said weekend... I'm also doing this personal challenge to travel somewhere once a month, so hang on for that :) this is January's entry!


LIVING - we finally went on a course trip!! We went to see Deal Or No Deal being filmed last year in Bristol but Noel Edmonds wouldn't have a photo with us so yes, it sucked. I mean c'mon Noel, saying no to a group of Media Production students having an Instagram worthy photo with you? You've lost viewers mate. Anyway, moving on haha! We went to London and stayed in this really awesome hostel - Generator, just by Russell Square and would honestly stay there again! They named the floor levels by characters! Proper cool. This time we saw The Wright Stuff and Mel & Sue who were all super nice :)


WEARING - found this pretty cool top at Primark with celeb male crushes names on and I love it. Brad, Leo, Ryan, Zac and Channing. They could have added a Harry, but seeing as I already have a 'You're not Harry Styles' tee, its alright ;) This is going to the top of my list of things to throw on when I don't know what to wear haha! Bargain price of £3.50 can I add.



EATING - between Russell Square tube station and the hostel was this independent burger place Burger & Shake and it was beaut! I had the pulled-pork roll, absolute sucker for anything pulled-pork, so much pulled-pork it was crazy. Said pulled-pork waaaay too much in that sentence ha! If you're in the area or looking for non-chained-restaurant food then give it a go. A bit more than McDonalds but rather reasonable for London prices.

Boobies. Knockers. Jugs. Hooters. Baps. Coconuts. And so lovely put by Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging - Nunga Nungas. Half of the worlds population have them, yet when it comes down to it they are still a bit taboo(b).....
I've been wanting to write a post about this for ages. Its been patiently waiting in the wings (drafts) for a while, but I think its time to share. Why is it women want to change themselves or don't like what they've got? 2015 is the year I'm going to love myself for who I am and what I've been 'blessed' with! I thought attempt I'd give a bit of encouragement for all other ladies out there!

Angelina Jolie, is a queen! Last year she had a double mastectomy to lower her chances of breast cancer. And the world fell in love with her, aside from being an actress. She did an incredibly brave thing and I've had this talk with a lot of my girl friends and my mum, if it came down to it what would you do? There was a bit of debate actually, I have always said that I would never have a boob job unless it was for health reasons - touch wood. I would go down the same route as her, (obviously its a lot easier when you aren't in that situation). Respect to you Ange!




Ending on a lighter note- realities* about breasticles you may or may not know:
*may differ from person to person

- Being punched in the boob is the worst pain ever
- During the cold it can get so 'nippy', your nipples feel like they could cut glass
- Holding them whilst running is a thing
- Taking your bra off at the end of the day will always be a luxury
- When you let your boobs free its like everyone seems to notice à la Rachel in Friends *crosses arms*
- They get bigger when on a period
- They are soft
- Nip slips are not a myth
- Sleeping on your front can cause them to change shape overtime...
- They do move, when you are on your back, or front, or side, or upside down. Yep, they move!
- Everyone has different shapes, sizes and colours
- Sizes range from an L to AAA
- Theres a range of prominent, shy or inverted nipples
- Odd boobs are a thing not to be ashamed of, nearly everyone has odd ones. Some cases more extreme than others.
- Everyone has different size ducts and nipples
- Buying bigger shirts just for boobs is a problem
- Chicken fillets are a thing, so are padded bras, gel bras, water bras and stuff tissue (see 13 Going on 30)
- One day a bra wire will try to kill you
- 1 in 6 women have nipple hair

If you still don't believe that all boobs are different, my friend Nic told me about this wonderful website - The Normal Breast Gallery. Its normal women uploading pictures of their normal breasts. Everyone is different, yes. A lot of the time women are worried what the opposite sex will think. She also told me her friend said [speaking on behalf of men], "we don't really care what shape or size they are, as long as they move". Remember that.

I know I've focused on women's body image here and a lot of men feel the pressure to look a certain way too, but I am a woman. Being proud of your natural body, whoever you are is a good thing! Embrace your boobies. If you don't have boobies, then someone else's - they deserved to be loved!
