<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ok, so here goes... This is my first stab at a foodie post so please be gentle with me as I haven't found my food blogging sea legs yet. </span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">England has been lost under a permanent grey cloud of drizzle, sleet and the occasional snow flurry for too long now, it's perpetually cold and everyone seems down in the dumps. So, as I had the day off I thought I'd bring a little sunshine to our home and cook one of my favourite dishes. I'm going to issue a disclaimer now and say that I am by no means a fantastic cook, but I can cook nice food that 9 times out of 10 tastes good, my picture quality is not professional but then again neither am I.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This recipe is for sticky chicken legs with pineapple salsa and sweet potato fries (sort of). Sticky chicken doesn't sound too appealing and I would love to be able to call it BBQ chicken legs but, unfortunately, these chuck legs have not seen a grill and the sauce they're in would make a Texan weep. Although the name may not sell them, this recipe is deliciously easy and seriously tasty and can be made fairly quickly.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Lets start with the marinade for the chicken, I use the term marinade in the loosest sense as the chicken legs aren't in it for any great period of time but it is used to cook them in. Quantities are by no means strict and really don't matter, the consistency just needs to be thick enough to coat the chicken but thin enough to pour over them. You'll need:</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 large tbsp of honey</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4 tbsp (roughly) of soy sauce</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 chicken stock cube</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 squeeze of tomato ketchup </span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 squeeze of a cheap bbq sauce</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 1/2 tsp of white wine vinegar.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Combine all these ingredients in a large bowl, big enough to fit all your chicken drumsticks.</span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPwrqVDldkxQlLq37zYyQntALPvwqNm8f0jgHgmypFOMimkVtyweFwfyGMegeKJzCtsIqSbw12bLYf5ZSqkGr9BxZ7hnad7XAX3TrEDKb76GTVSc0h28hmnC6rCmkkrtFq0u2PkEREZQQ/s1600/IMG_0239.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPwrqVDldkxQlLq37zYyQntALPvwqNm8f0jgHgmypFOMimkVtyweFwfyGMegeKJzCtsIqSbw12bLYf5ZSqkGr9BxZ7hnad7XAX3TrEDKb76GTVSc0h28hmnC6rCmkkrtFq0u2PkEREZQQ/s320/IMG_0239.JPG" width="320" /></a> </span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Put your chicken legs in the bowl and toss throughout the sauce so that each one has a slick of sauce on and put to one side while you prepare the sides.</span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkQfSyTKkkevkNtwkDkW77lv-ashaqV1rqbapByZorkKAKfCCoBBp1LU5ZII7XtssxmhXzONQn9H1Nyr_7mJrzmMnXOQVHVE4MJpcS9LIc1JRoDUjCM6fIem2QkMMycWQmSos06WucVxE/s1600/IMG_0241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkQfSyTKkkevkNtwkDkW77lv-ashaqV1rqbapByZorkKAKfCCoBBp1LU5ZII7XtssxmhXzONQn9H1Nyr_7mJrzmMnXOQVHVE4MJpcS9LIc1JRoDUjCM6fIem2QkMMycWQmSos06WucVxE/s320/IMG_0241.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cut one large sweet potato into chunks/ wedges/ any shapes you like, don't remove the skin and throw onto a baking tray. Using the flat side of a knife crush 3-4 garlic cloves dependent on size, scatter these on top and pour over some olive oil. I've added some dried herbs but as most people think these are criminal to use I'll leave it up to personal preference.</span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkz9NBzC6T2R81DRlM_WduoDDOCDXNuRk4mkOIuHJgT5JEbROQfBd5zmm4UQEU5W8QwsBTSXCQMpXSh3XyGijvBnb-jhhmzoI7bMsDfAet6XdOThofR0SUb_9Yok3bxVEWcfd1RJ_AMyg/s1600/IMG_0243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkz9NBzC6T2R81DRlM_WduoDDOCDXNuRk4mkOIuHJgT5JEbROQfBd5zmm4UQEU5W8QwsBTSXCQMpXSh3XyGijvBnb-jhhmzoI7bMsDfAet6XdOThofR0SUb_9Yok3bxVEWcfd1RJ_AMyg/s320/IMG_0243.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Next comes the pineapple salsa which is by far my favourite part of the meal. It's so sweet, juicy and instantly uplifiting and, although the picture is slightly washed out due to the flash, it's vibrant and colourful to look at. A perfect pick me up. You'll need:</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 ripe nectarine</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 a red onion</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 slightly under ripe avocado (so it keeps it shape and doesn't "mush" as easily)</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/4 of a fresh pineapple or 1/2 of a tin.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">All you need to do it simply cut everything into similar sized cubes and mix together, the acidity from the fruit will prevent the avocado from turning brown.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I also made a salad to serve on the side, nothing miraculous just some lettuce leaves with a spring onion, some cubed bell pepper, thin slices of radish and some crunchy raw sugar snap peas.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now that's all done, transfer your chicken to an oven proof dish that fits them all in snuggly. Pour over the remainder of the marinade and put in an oven preheated at about 180 Celsius for about 35 mins. I put the sweet potato in the oven at the same time and by the time the chicken is cooked the sweet potato should be soft, with crisp chewy skin.</span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, hasn't it been a long time and don't you look different. I apologise for my lack of posts but I have had no computer for the last 18 months and have finally saved enough money to get a shiny new one, and so here I am.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First off I should probably mention a few changes that will be going on around here. This blog will no longer just be dedicated to my love of all things beauty, ToBeFrankie will now be a "lifestyle" blog. I say "lifestyle" as I'm not really sure what else to call it. Of course I will continue to blog about any new beauty finds and secrets that I come across but I have found of late that my zeal for the beauty world has some what dimmed. There are so many wonderful beauty blogs floating around the internet that really there isn't need for another, half arsed one. </span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I want this blog to be something I can look back on in later years to remind myself what I was doing in my twenties, and a way that my family and friends can keep a track of what I've been up to without having to sift through meaningless facebook updates.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, what have I been doing with myself that past year and a bit? Chris and I moved house in October of 2011 and have made a lovely home for our little family. We both started new jobs and have been working very hard at them. Lolly finally achieved her goal bikini body and is just as gorgeous and cuddly as ever. Life has just been moving on really. My health has improved some what and I am relishing having a sense of normality about my day to day comings and goings. In the middle of last year I began to write my first novel, which although extremely exciting had stalled slightly due to my laziness.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On a beauty note I have been through a range of different hair colours this past year and am pleased to say that I didn't visit a salon once! All these hair adventures have been done with my own fair hand.</span></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello there,</span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is only my second nail post which I can barely believe as I change my nail varnish so regularly. This nail look is one I believe sums me up perfectly, <b>beige</b>. People that know me, know that my wardrobe is a symphony in beige and I am completely unashamed at this, "beige is cool".</span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So when I came across "Threadbare" nail varnish in Topshop I instantly fell in love, true this is more of a "<b>greige</b>" (grey/beige) but I still think its gorgeous. I think this colour is effortless and chic and more importantly requires no thought putting it on as it goes with everything.</span></i></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZQuGljHYBRbzEoVyyPXrh9o9604FTt3cOalaTwCheqQOj29ZNR5aXafDiIHVjpg3AA5BGmWm9dGU-29JBf7P0Mj-VNX5hpZQZ17Tv08xJVUAF2FZzQQDsrpAijiMH8Ud7u3RWttX6Jxw/s1600/nails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZQuGljHYBRbzEoVyyPXrh9o9604FTt3cOalaTwCheqQOj29ZNR5aXafDiIHVjpg3AA5BGmWm9dGU-29JBf7P0Mj-VNX5hpZQZ17Tv08xJVUAF2FZzQQDsrpAijiMH8Ud7u3RWttX6Jxw/s1600/nails.jpg" /></a></span></i></span></div>
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As much as I love neutrals I thought I might <b>pep up</b> this nail look by adding spots.. obviously. I used Ciate - After Dark which is a gorgeous deep purple that is almost duochrome and has a lovely warm gold tone to it. I used the back of a hair grip (bobby pin) to create the spots and have only dotted them on my ring finger.</span></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hello there,</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This post should really be called "Hair today, same bloody length tomorrow", for the past 3 years or so my hair has just refused to grow. I did bleach my hair which can cause it to have difficulty growing but over the last year I have been phasing out my blondeness (much to the benefit of my wallet) and taking much better care of my barnet, and still it is just hanging out on my shoulders. </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had begun to think that I was destined to have this length hair forever, and so began to buy clip in extensions and had even considered forking out for bonded ones. I've always wanted long hair, really just so I could swish it about and so was quite upset when my locks just decided not to grow. </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I was about 12 years old I had nice long hair which I stupidly cut to a bob and bleached, and it's never been the same again (cue sad music). I've been trying for such a long time to grow out my hair and had resorted to trying "hair growth tablets", eating specific foods, even rinsing my hair with tea! Alas, nothing helped, so imagine my joy when I read of a <b>miracle</b> hair product which promoted hair growth.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I read an awful lot about Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment before I purchased it, it did make some bold claims and talked a lot of nonsense about fertilising the earth but I was so desperate to get long hair I was about to try anything. </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have been using the grow treatment, which is a cream which you massage into your hair in between shampoo and conditioner, for about a month now and I have to say I haven't noticed any dramatic differences in growth. I have however noticed that my hair had been getting greasy so much quicker, which tends to suggest that the natural oils in my hair are working overtime, this makes me wonder whether this treatment is stripping out too much from my natural hair rather than putting things in. That aside, I have noticed my hair seems a lot softer and more manageable, which for £7.99 a pop I would expect.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My hair has been getting slightly longer but seems to have stalled in its growth, I can't be sure as to whether this growth is because I have been using this treatment, or because I have stopped bleaching and using heat on my hair.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All this being said I will be buying this product again as I believe it helps my hair absorb conditioner better and I am still holding out the hope that one morning I will wake up with waist length hair. I can't confirm that this products "works" but it does make you step up and take much better care of your hair which all in all is a good thing.</span></i></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hello there,</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>As you may have guessed by the title this is not going to be you average blog post. I hope this doesn't put you off reading my blog, but I understand that mental health issues are not something that every one is comfortable talking about or reading about. If you hadn't twigged by now I have bipolar, and I thought I would share with you my experience and how it effects my day to day life. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>It seems recently that every man and his dog have been being diagnosed with bipolar (which in case you didn't know is mental health disorder which causes your mood to fluctuate between extreme depression and really "high" manic periods) and so it is becoming almost a common phrase and in my opinion it is not being represented fairly. I'm going to say now something which may cause some suffers to get quite cross but hear me out, bipolar disorder is a terrible illness which effects people very differently and is a daily concern, however I do think some suffers let it take over them and almost "blame" bipolar for ruining parts of their life. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I think it's probably time now that I talked a little about myself and my experiences, I am not going to go into every minute detail as some things are really quite personal. Right, lets get into it, I began to notice I was feeling different things to my friends at the age of about 12, there didn't seem to be any really obvious idea as to why I was feeling as miserable as I was I just felt lost and angry. I hadn't had your <b>stereotypical</b> childhood, but there were no real "traumas" that could have "triggered" this depression (I'm calling it depression as that is what it was diagnosed as at a later date). As I progressed further into my teens I went through CAMS which is the children mental health service in the UK and really had an awful experience with it. Basically, they were shit! There was far too much focus of things that had happened in my childhood and no one seemed to listen to me about the fact that I was noticing that these periods of sadness would last for a very long time and then I just seem to go to that opposite extreme. For a while the Dr seemed to put it down to "teenage hormones", now if any one that is a teenager now I completely understand how frustrating it is when feelings you know aren't normal are described as "teenage hormones". If we move on a little bit to when I was about 16, this is really when things started to become out of control for me. I lost huge amounts of weight and my self confidence was at an all time low, I contemplated suicide almost daily and actually tried to commit suicide (badly I might add) a number of times because I was just desperate to feel nothing as I was being to understand that I wasn't going to feel "normal". As you may have guessed this put a huge strain on all my relationships, I wanted to be left alone but at the same time I craved attention because I just wanted to feel needed, it was a pretty rough time for every one close to me. Things hit an all time low when I was hospitalised, I was admitted to the Priory for treatment. For anyone reading this who is in a difficult place, try your hardest to talk to people and not shut yourself off so you don't end up becoming an inpatient as it is horrible. I was lucky enough to be in a private hospital so I had my own room, but during the day I was surrounded by incredibly troubled young people who I had no choice than to try and be friends with as I was away from everyone I knew. As odd as it sounds I did find some comfort in the girls who were in the hospital the same time as me as I knew they understood part of what I was feeling. Anywhoo I'll move on, Dr's in the Priory took note of the fact that my moods seemed to change dramatically and tried to tailor my treatment to deal with the depressive side, but at that time it was the mania (high periods) which I was finding the most scary because as sad as it sounds, I had become used to feeling depressed. I left the Priory just before my 17 birthday and tried to integrate back into sixth form, this did not go well. To begin with I had to deal with the fact that it was now common knowledge that I had mental issues and so to teenagers "<b>psycho</b>" and also many people thought I was a drug addict and told me to "<b>go back to rehab</b>". I am however not blaming my difficulties at school completely on other people, when I came out of the Priory there were a number of incredibly personal and heartbreaking issues that happened which seemed to trigger a complete manic period, one like I have never known. I am going to copy and paste some "symptoms" I have found which explains some of the things you experience in manic stage:</i></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Easily distracted</i></span></li>
<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Little need for sleep</i></span></li>
<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Poor judgment</i></span></li>
<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Poor temper control</i></span></li>
<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Reckless behavior and lack of self control </i></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Binge eating, drinking, and/or drug use</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Poor judgment</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Sex with many partners (promiscuity)</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Spending sprees</i></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Very elevated mood </i></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Excess activity (hyperactivity)</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Increased energy</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Racing thoughts</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Talking a lot </i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Very high self-esteem (false beliefs about self or abilities)</i></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>Very involved in activities</i></span></li>
<li><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Very upset (agitated or irritated)</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Poor judgement was something that really plagued me at school, at this time I was so fed up of being the odd one out (because up until then I had some of the most amazing friends), that I lived in my own world completely. In this world I was normal and just trying to carry on with school and everyone else was different and had the most exotic and scandalous lives. I lived in a blur and was not certain what was real and what was fantasy. Basically, I was living up to my psycho nick name, and it was impossible for people to understand that it wasn't just me being a dick, I was almost drowning in my own illness. It was a horrendous time, where I didn't recognise myself and my family didn't know what to do with me.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>After trying for some time, my parents and I believed it would be best if I left school. This was a difficult decision as I have always been fairly good at school and received excellent grades, in my final year at school I performed really poorly in my AS levels and decided to cut my losses and leave with out A levels.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>In the following year the Dr really started to take my seriously and I was now old enough to access the adult mental health team in my local area. After just one meeting with them, the term Bipolar was being thrown around and I was adamant that I didn't have it. By this time I had lost all faith in myself and hated what I had become and I was certain that I was just born crazy, my plan for my life which used to be career, family, happily forever after and the sunset, was now unemployment, mental health institutions and ill health, being alone (dropping down to such a tiny weight had caused some problems with my health and had almost ruined parts of my old life plan) and finally and early death.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I spent the majority of a year just sat on the sofa or in my bed just staring at my life going by. Miraculously during this time I met my now boyfriend who was at uni, and seeing his success and extreme normality sort gave me a <b>kick up the arse</b> and I knew I had to complete my A levels from home. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>If we return back to the Dr, just after the first meeting with the mental health team the Dr decided to try me on some different medication. For those with bipolar taking anti depressants can actually make symptoms worse and I had been on a cocktail of anti depressants since the age of 16, almost as soon as I was off the anti depressants I started feeling better or at least more in control.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I think the feeling of being out of control is the scariest part of bipolar, it's almost as if someone else is in charge of how you feel that day and there is nothing you can do to change it.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>If we fast forward in time, I completed my A levels from home and some how managed to get all A's, I had a stable boyfriend who seemed not to care that I was this loony and I was a part time nanny to earn a bit of money.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I was seeing a mental health profession regularly, and although I think talking therapies are a bunch of balls, if I hadn't been to seem them I never would have been diagnosed with bipolar and would not have received the right medication.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Now onto grown up stuff, it is ridiculous that people think bipolar sufferers aren't able to work, yes it is <b>difficult</b> because you feel constantly tired ( bipolar meds are normally taken at night because the make you so sleepy and really no use to anyone, and you are constantly either climbing the walls being manic, or weeping into your cereal being depressed... exhausting!). It is because of this tiredness that I think a part time job is ideal and I was able to get a job and work extremely hard at it and enjoy it.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I'm using the past tense as I have since had to give it up due to physical health problems (nothing to do with bipolar).</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I honestly believe that I will be able to live as normal a life as anyone, even though I suffer with something hard, everyone deals with things and none are more important that others. Yes I sometimes have really <b>extreme</b> moments where I revert back to how I was when I was 16 but it's 4 years on now and they are much less frequent. It does effect me daily and it is a constant up hill battle, but I have come to terms with this and am able to deal with it almost independently.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>To any bipolar sufferers out there I know it's difficult and makes you want to give up, and I know how much you want to punch people when they say "life is a roller coaster"...well duh (Ronan Keating<b> I HATE YOU</b>). People are sometimes scared of mental health but as long as you accept that you are always going to be different it becomes much easier to deal with. Being different does not mean anything bad! It just means that you exceptionally un-average, which is a far more exciting place to be. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>It is super hard for people to grasp how intense the hold is that it has over your life, but you can <b>not</b> let it ruin you. I think bipolar chooses people who are strong enough to cope with it. As harsh as it sounds, I get quite cross with people who pin all their troubles on having bipolar and yes I do completely understand that it effects people differently and in different ways, but the constant thing with bipolar is that it is never constant! So you can never be stuck in a rut because the next day/week/month you will feel completely different.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Surround yourself with people that are willing to help and love you regardless (your family is a good place to start... they don't have a choice), don't get upset that some people wont understand and will leave your life.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I am very grateful for people in my life now, and for those of you who have left (mainly school friends) I apologise for how I was but no one is perfect <b>yo!</b></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Any way that's all sorry for it being long and rambley and probably doesn't make much sense, I just thought I should get it out there and hopefully it will clear things up for some people.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I am not angry or upset that I'm stuck with this illness ( as really that's all it is an illness, something that can be treated), and really normal is <b>BORING</b>.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="color: #666666;">This post is really a desperate plea to any people still reading this blog to vote for me in the <b>Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2011</b>, it might just help me get my mojo back.</span></i></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hello there,</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>As you can see there has been a distinct lack of pictures added for my foxy locks hair extensions and the reason for this is really that I'm lazy! I have nothing of interest to report and sadly for me no new beauty discoveries to write about. The month of July has been thoroughly dull and full of Dr's appointments and horrible things. I have spent the majority of this month watching Disney films and cuddling my beloved Lolly (who is beginning to look slightly more streamlined) and wishing I was feeling better. Morbid! Speaking of Disney films I love them all and could sit here and write about Disney until the end of time but I fear that only I would read it.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Any way the hope for this week is that the weather will pick up and I will be able to do fun things like see friends and walk Lolly and wear summer clothes, if any pictures are taken I shall upload them.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>The purpose of this post is non existent I just wanted to prove I hadn't forgotten you and that as soon as I have something even slightly interesting to post about I will.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hello there,</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>This post isn't really a proper blog post it's sort of a pre blog post... sort of. It will eventually be a proper blog post with pictures and possibly a video but as of this moment I am sat in my pj's with my hair greasy and up in a bun so can't do these<b> beautiful</b> hair extensions justice by attaching them to my awful hair. As you may know I spend most of my time in the dark, trawling through youtube videos and pretending I have friends, well I stumbled across the "foxylocks" channel and was amazed! Imogen of "Foxy Locks Hair Extensions" has made a beautiful channel dedicated to her gorgeous clip in hair extensions that are <b>100% </b>remy grade human hair (for those who don't know, what remy means is that the root and the end of the hair are all in the same direction so it should prevent snagging and tangles). I have been willing my hair to grown for about<b> 4</b> years now and so far it's just past my shoulders (stupid hair!), so hair extensions are a must for me. I considered for some time getting the bonded hair extensions, but they are crazy expensive and I've had a pretty bad experience with them before so these clip ins are clearly they only logical choice (I mean I could just wait for my hair to grow, but that's just boring).</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><b>SO</b> I hopped on the internet and bought 160g of beautiful "caramel blonde", they arrived so quickly and are just gorgeous!!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>The clips are such good quality and just don't budge when in your hair, they have a silicon strip so they don't hurt your natural hair. The hair itself is thicker than my natural hair and is so soft, that I really want to wear it at all times.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I would say it's worth getting the 160g even if you have fine hair because it really isn't that much more money and you get so much hair.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Anyway there will be some pictures and possibly a video to follow.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>All in all I am over the moon about these extensions and I think every one should by them.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hello there,</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I have suffered with bad skin for years now, it's never been full blown acne everywhere, but I had a lot of spots and black heads and just <b>yucky</b> skin. For quite some time it's been something I've been incredibly self conscious about and as a result have covered myself in thick makeup to try and cover my imperfections, which in turn just made it <b>worse</b>. Along with having quite bad skin, I'm also pretty lazy when it comes to skin care and carrying out about a thousand different steps every day to combat my skin was just out of the question. Saying that though I have tried and spent lots of money on hundreds of products to try and help my skin, but really I've never stuck them out long enough to see any real benefits.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Well a couple of months ago now I decided to visit one of The Sanctuary Spa counters in Debenhams and asked for help. I was fortunate enough that they gave me a mini facial so they could have a look at my skin more closely and decide what products would be best, after a gorgeous facial where they demonstrated some of their products I bought a range from them. (For those of you who watched my 'April Favourites' youtube video you can see the range there).</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I got these products:</i></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Now I realise this seems like a lot of things for someone who can't really be bothered to wash her face, well I kind of <b>got carried away</b>, but I'm so glad I did. One thing I really find annoying is the whole motion of washing my face, mainly because I end up soaking myself and the floor and then my bathroom because a slidey death trap for the rest of the day, but that purifying wash (which I'm proud to say I have used twice a day every day since I bought it) basically doesn't require that much water. You squeeze a little out onto your hands then splash some warm water onto the gel, and then obviously rub it all over your face (it even takes off your mascara without hurting your precious peepers). I use the gel wash, the toner (which I just spray onto my face) and the lotion daily, the exfoliator twice or three times a week and the mask once a week (usually in the bath, I promise I do bathe slightly more regularly than once a week).</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>One thing I really liked is how quickly it began to make a difference to my skin, in just over a week my skin was noticeably better!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I would highly recommend this range, especially the lotion as it also works as a perfect base for makeup.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hope you found this helpful and to any of you with bad skin out there, just keep trying new things and don't always get stuck using products "designed for acne prone skin" you can use other types too.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>lots of love </i></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #666666;">Hello there,</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">This week in England it's hard to believe that it is June, the weather has been end of the worldish and everyone has taken to dreaming of sunny days and lounging by the pool. I've even caught Lolly relaxing in the rare spots of sunshine on her back, eye's closed in complete bliss (really all she needed was sunglasses and a colourful drink with an umbrella). This time of year the main topic on every woman's mind is how to get that perfect summer body and to look hot in a bikini, well not me. On these days on rare sunshine and Lolly's lounging I have started to notice a pudding belly appearing on my beloved pooch, so my summer weight loss project is to streamline my baby dog. Mission: Lolly's Bikini Body is now in action.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">Now as the weather is beginning to pick up I will be walking away the doggie gut and will let you know if there are any exciting products (yes I know not many of you will be excited in dog products but this is my blog so... there) I've found to aid her loss and hopefully we'll have a supermodel dog in no time.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">I'm so sorry I haven't been making videos on youtube or posting very much at the moment, I have a number of personal reason's for this which I'm sure I'll go into at a later date. I will be trying very hard to get back into the swing of things, I have lots of things I want to write about and film (Chris and I are going to be doing a few vlogs on my channel which is exciting). </span></i></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hello there,</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I'm sorry it's been so long since a blog post, it's even longer that I've made a youtube video. I've unfortunately had lots of bad things happen at once which have occupied my time, and I've had to leave my new job. (boo! :'( ) So, because of this I now have much more time on my hands and so will be posting a lot more. I received a comment on one of my previous blog posts asking me about a fake tan I had referenced previously, and once I'd got passed the excitement that someone actually commented I thought I best complete the request.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Right I love fake tan, you all know this by now, but I am extremely picky when it comes one that I use regularly and repurchase. I'm going to admit something to you all now, don't judge me, I buy about 2 or 3 different fake tans a month (I think I need a tan intervention) so I know my stuff when it comes to tanning. My skin is naturally insanely pale, I mean almost blue and translucent, because of this I am always looking for a dark tan. Through many months of orange tan, tan that promises to be dark and then makes you look like a shade of gone off white (like white knickers that have been through the wash too many times) and streaky legs I have finally found my fake tan soul mate.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Famous Dave's tanners are only just beginning to get a lot of hype around them although die hard tan fans (like myself) have been aware of them for some time. They have a huge range of products from lotions and gradual tanners, to mousse and spray tans, along with everything you need to prep your skin with and application mits. One of the excellent things about this brand is that their tanners have a reddish undertone, now that might sound as if it's going to leave you orange and unnatural. In fact it's quite the opposite it makes the tan so natural and the hint of red makes you seem as if you have a slight sun burn. My favourite of their products is the Famous Dave's Tanning mousse (the normal one not the gold edition). The reason I like this is because it's super easy to apply as it as a really dark guide colour (which washes off), unlike some other fake tans you can go over the same spot over and over again and it will not effect the end result so all you need to worry about it covering all the white bits. Mousse tans dry much quicker than lotions anyway so you don't have to wait an age to get dressed. I usually apply at night time as the guide colour is so dark and then shower off in the morning.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>This tan will last you about 4 days without you doing a thing, but if you moisturise daily you can extend the life of your tan to about a week, I tend to top up with Xen Tan transform after about 2 or 3 days.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>The price of these products ranges from about £20-£30 pounds, you can buy from the website (just search for Famous Dave in google and be sure not to click on the BBQ'ing website) or buy from Debenhams. I'm not sure if other department stores carry them I'm sure most of the high end ones will.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Goodness me! Two posts in the space of 5 minutes I'm spoiling you.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I have just remembered I started doing quick tips, well I have a cracker of one for you today. DIY all natural exfoliating facial!! </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>All you need is a lemon/ bottle of lemon juice, some sea salt, olive oil and cotton pads. First off take your lemon and juice it, you are now caught up to those who have bought lemon juice. Secondly take a bowl and mix together the juice, about a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of olive oil. Right what you should have is quite a thick solution with the salt grains still intact. Wet your face with warm water to open your pores and now you're ready to exfoliate. Take a cotton pad and spoon on a bit of your mixture next rub this over your entire face, be careful around eye area. Obviously don't scrub too hard as salt is a lot more abrasive than other facial exfoliates.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Once you've scrubbed away all of your mixture rinse off your face with lukewarm water and pat dry.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>This scrub should leave your face feeling soft and smooth as well as radiant. The lemon almost acts as a peel and along with the salt helps to reveal the new, brighter layers of skin. This might sound harsh, but the olive oil helps to moisturise and replenish your skin.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Beautiful!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="color: #666666;">Hello there,</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">As some of you may know I love all things animal print so imagine my excitement when I learned how easy it was to do this to my nails! </span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">It really is easy... honestly. All you need is three paint colours and a liquid eyeliner (top coat if wanted). So choose your base colour and apply a couple of coats to your nail, wait for that to dry and now you're on to the fun stuff. You don't need any nail art tools, all you really need are two hands (apologies to my readers with hooves). So next you take one of your remaining two colours and apply a few dots randomly over your nails, repeat with your last colour.

<i><span style="color: #666666;">Ok so now I've finished with my beauty related item I thought I just put a quick note about general stuff. I think I should probably start by saying we unfortunately no longer have Gloria the goldfish, she tragically died early last week :( I think the fame of being a blog super star was just too much for her. Don't panic Esteban is still going strong and is loving having a bit of extra space in his bachelor tank. </span></i></div>

I know rubbish first impression. Anyway I hope it will continue to be great and obviously any big new I will let you know. </span></i></div>

</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I thought I'd start something new with this blog and once a fortnight I'll post one of my personal <i>beauty/hair tips</i>. Today's is hair tip! Around this time of year we are bombarded with images of girls with perfect <i>beachy waves</i>, that just look effortless. Well, I have a cheats way to do this if you have straight to wavy hair and it requires no heat.. just sleep. I have been doing this a lot lately and I think it really looks good, all you need is two hair bands, clean hair (wet hair is better) and you need to know how to french braid. The term french braid used to fill me with dread as I had no idea how to do it and it looked really difficult. If you can plait your hair you can french braid. Step 1: take a small section of hair close to your parting in the middle of your head. Step 2: separate this section into three and begin to plait as normal. Step 3: with the left strand take a small section from your remaining hair and incorporate into the plait. Step 4: repeat with the remaining three strands of the original plait until all your hair is incorporated.</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Ok, so that description probably is the most confusing and worst written ever but hopefully you'll get the idea. To get beachy hair, just split you hair into two big sections down the back (like you would if you were doing pigtails). French braid both sides of your hair and secure with hair bands, leave your fringe/bangs free. Now all you have to do is go to sleep, I probably should have mentioned before that you do this at night time... </div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">When you wake up, take out the bands and unravel the plaits and you will have beautifully beached up hair. Spraying the final product with a salt spray gives good definition and hold and authentic beachy texture. There's also a way to accomplish this with straighteners but that's for another quick tip.</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">For those of you with curly hair, you don't really have to do anything to achieve this look, reading this.. I hate you! Only joking.. sort of... </div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

<i><span style="color: #666666;">Hello there,</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">I, like most people, strive to have white teeth! Teeth have always been a talking point (get it.. talking point) with my family as well we have a lot of rather big teeth. In fact you could call it our most prominent family trait, horse teeth, so seeing as they're big they might as well be white. I am really quite self-conscious when it comes to my teeth, I had a brace for about 2 years when I was in year 8/9 (so aged 13/14, I also had a huge nose and horrible hair at that time... good look) and I still don't smile with my teeth in photos. There are the odd one of two photos where I've been caught laughing and it looks as if my teeth are trying to accomplish world domination, or at least eat the camera/photographer. It's particularly frightening when laughing in pictures where I'm holding babies as it looks like I'm about to swallow their head... whole! Because of my teeth situation I've always been on the look out for a easy home whitening treatment. I'll be honest I'd tried hundreds, whitening toothpastes, whitening pens, UV lights that you put in your mouth.. basically everything you could try. Each different treatment has been very time consuming and really yields little results, also they taste VILE. </span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">I was watching a video on youtube be Kandee J and she was talking about how she gets her teeth so white (and they are really white). She used something called Plus White 5 Minute teeth Whitening Gel, I searched for it in google and annoyingly it only came up with American sites where I could buy it. So, I trundled over to Amazon.co.uk and typed it in there and it was being sold for about £5! I bought it straight away and also bought so really cheap mouth guards (for about £1.99).</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">When the big package finally arrived I was beyond excited. It comes in a small blue box with all the instructions you need on the side, but to be honest the name itself is pretty self explanatory. Now, as I mentioned before I bought mouth trays to use mine, but you can also just brush your teeth with the gel like you would with a normal toothpaste.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">The product is called "5 minute" but you can leave the gel on for up to 20 minutes without running the risk of have luminous teeth. I could really tell the difference after just a couple of applications and it doesn't feel like it's damaging my teeth at all. It doesn't taste that bad either, I mean it's not so yummy that I'd want to put it in my sandwiches but it's not as offensive as other whitening products.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">It does however have one downside, this downside might just be because of the way I apply the gel, it make me dribble... Now I'm not talking about just a tiny bit of spit, I mean full on drooling. The last time I used this gel I had to plug up any gaps in my mouth that weren't filled with the mouth trays with toilet paper to try and stem the flow. That's really disgusting isn't it.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">Really what I've been trying to say is this is a wonder product, and I will definitely be buying it again and possibly a bib.</span></i></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hello there,</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>If you've been in England this week then I'm sure you can appreciate this post. The weather over the last few days has been glorious, I spent yesterday have a BBQ in the park with a group of friends which was gert lush! I didn't burn which was an added bonus and I got to spend the day with one of the most beautiful babies in the world. But unfortunately I do have one small niggle, the BBQ itself, now this was nothing to do with the people cooking it or the food its just whole concept of a British BBQ. For those of you who don't know a British BBQ involves a disposable BBQ which leave the grass on which it's sat on permanently burnt leaving the park a dot to dot of the summer. Next it's the food, the stereotypical meal will consist of burnt sausages that are raw in the middle and probably have about 2% pork, a mystery meat burger, raw chicken legs in some form of sauce and if the chef is particularly radical a small side salad.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Rant over! In this lovely weather I'm really enjoying experimenting with different make up looks, one of my favourites is the nude eye bright lip trend. Another is just a golden/brown eye with shimmery cheeks and a nudeish lip. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>This month I am really loving peachy colours and luckily for me every cosmetics company seems to have the same idea. Sleek cosmetics have in fact brought a new range where near enough all of the products are a peach colour! Unfortunately I haven't been able to try any products from Sleek cosmetics but I have only heard good things. I have had a quick look around their website and from what I can see the cater for almost everyone with products that are really inexpensive. When I get the chance I will be buying the "Pout Polish" in either "sugar may" or "electro peach", one item I am really excited about is their "True Colour" lipstick in "Peaches and Cream" (yes I know peach again). I stumbled across this lipstick through a day trawling youtube, "BlushBlendBeauty" did a haul video in which she bought a selection of the new lipsticks from Sleek and she was wearing "Peaches and Cream" and it really is a gorgeous colour.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>In terms of blush, I have found one that I love from E.L.F (who I've mentioned in a previous post). It's in E.L.F's studio collection and the colour is "peachy keen" but "candid coral" is also gorgeous. At £3.50 each you can't really go wrong, however I would say that they probably wouldn't suit darker skin tones as they are quite light.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I'm really excited about trying some things from Sleek as I have only heard good things and the eye shadow palettes are really good value and I'm always looking to expand my kit.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Spending a little extra on a palette is, I feel, always worth it as with most companies they have put together a selection of colours that they feel go well together so it almost takes out any guess work needed in creating a beautiful eye.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="color: #666666;">Hello there,</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">So this post is a bit different from my others admittedly but I hope you will find it equally as entertaining. We have a brand new baby in the family, now before you get over excited or my parents read this and have a heart attack, I should probably say the new baby is a... fish. </span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">Yes we now have a little boy fish to add to our brood. I would like to introduce you all to Esteban! Esteban is now living in perfect harmony with his sister Gloria, yes that's right Gloria and Esteban. I wasn't allowed to call him Estefan :( We acquired Gloria a few months ago, we won her by throwing a dart at a card! I say we, my dad won her for me, and I have to admit we have had some what of a turbulent relationship. Now I know you might be thinking Frank you've gone insane its a goldfish and granted this is slightly on the odd side but I've always hated Gloria for no apparent reason. She's smells bad, she doesn't move, she looks at me with such a blank expression... ok there are some reason and yes I have remembered that she is fish. However, with the arrival of Esteban my hatred is appeasing slightly and I'm beginning to love the tiny orange thing. One point that I think is pretty cool is that Esteban is red and white and not your average gold fish, firstly he's diddy (seriously tiny for those who don't know what diddy means) and secondly he moves like no fish I've ever seen. Lolly (our puppy dog) seems completely oblivious to the arrival of her new brother and continues to be the most adorable thing since sliced bread.. so just bread. Along with my admission of hatred for Gloria I have another awful thing to admit, I didn't think she would live that long (horrendous parenting I know, I feel sorry for any children I might have) and because of this I bought the worst items for her tank.

<i><span style="color: #666666;">I fear this may be turning into an incredibly middle aged post, first talking about the arrival of babies, then references to early 90's Latino singers and I am now about to talk about garden centres (to any regular readers I promise the next post will be more beauty and less mundane life). Along with getting Esteban today was another turning point in my adult life, I went to a garden centre and bought plants! I spent far too much money on the sodding things and decided I was green fingered enough to grow vegetables! (anyone who knows me well will understand this is utterly ridiculous) I have now spent the entire evening planting and replanting flowers and sowing seeds, I must say my little garden is looking beautiful but my nails are ruined.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">(Speaking of nails my next post is going to be about Nails Inc. who I'm pretty much obsessed with)</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">Anyway I will now leave you with a picture from today and a little song to remember my beautiful fish babies by.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #666666;">Hello there,</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">Right, first off I'm just going to say how much it has pained me to write "color" instead of "colour" in the title of this post. IT IS COLOUR NOT COLOR! However, the products themselves are called color endure and so I thought I better stay true to the name.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">My hair is pretty much a war zone! I've coloured my hair for years now, mainly bleaching it with the occasional moment of madness when I decide to unleash my inner vamp and become a deep brunette, because of this I am always on the hunt for products to make it luscious and not like straw...</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">My hairdresser recommended K-Pak shampoo and conditioner for my hair and I promptly ignored her, I actually then moved house so had to change hairdressers (I hope she doesn't think I'm rude). Since her recommendation I have tried a number of salon hair care products, much to the detriment of my bank balance and I must say they've all been good but nothing to write home about (or write a blog about). </span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">After trialing a number of different salon brands I eventually bought some Joico. I bought the shampoo and conditioner designed for coloured hair as it promises to prolong colour. I don't know if other bleachers find this, but after a while my hair colour will either fade to a horrible brassy colour or so ash that it looks dull (let me know if you have any miracle product to stop this). </span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">I've got to be honest it didn't give the best first impression, the conditioner pump didn't work which SUCKED! I also think the packaging is kinda ugly, it's like a mauve, brownish colour. All that rubbish aside I think it's a pretty decent purchase, it's still not my HG hair product I'm still on the search for that. I have found that the conditioner is a little bit runny so it's a bit difficult to spread it evenly through my hair. The shampoo however is lovely, it lathers up beautifully and smells so clean and gorgeous.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">To be honest I can't really justify spending as much money on these products at all, a higher end drug store shampoo and conditioner would probably have the same effect.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">But fear not Joico it isn't all bad, I also bought the K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor which I have been using as a weekly hair mask and I LOVE it. It's a really nice rich consistency and feels really indulgent when I use it. I have started to notice a real difference in the quality of my hair, it's a lot less tangled and really shiny. I would recommend this product to everyone, even if your hair is in perfect condition and you just want an extra treat. I will most definitely be buying this product again, and will probably buy the whole K-Pak range.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">Basically the moral of this story is that I should've listened to my hairdresser :( </span></i></div>

</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Over the past few months there has been a lot of buzz about a new cosmetics brand "<i>E.L.F</i>" or "eyes, lips, face", now as a bit of sheep I thought I best check this out. If you search for E.L.F on youtube you get hundreds of results for "hauls" and "reviews" (one excellent one in particular.. mine), now there are people on youtube that seem to have a surplus amount of money and have huge MAC hauls, so when I saw the amount people were getting from E.L.F my first reaction was to think that it was yet another expensive brand that the youtube community had some how managed to fiance. I am please to say that it is the complete opposite! Most products retail at about £1.50 with the studio range being something more like £3. When I first saw the prices I've got to admit I was pretty dubious as to the quality of the items and no they aren't the same sort of quality as MAC or Makeup Forever but for the price they are pretty <i>amazing</i>.</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">The blushes are incredibly pigmented and the brushes good quality. One criticism would be the lipsticks are a bit pathetic, you have to layer it up hugely to get any sort of good colour, however they feel lovely and aren't at all greasy or sticky. </div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">The range of products is quite large, there is something for everyone including a mineral range. If you was to request one product for them to create it would be a version of "Sleek Makeup" contour kit, I think that is the only thing that is missing. </div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Overall I think it's excellent value for money and the "<i>luscious liquid lipstick</i>" in "<i>cherry tart</i>" is a personal favourite along with the studio range blush in "<i>peachy keen</i>".</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
It is available in the UK and USA, not sure what the shipping is like to other countries. </div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i>Peace, love and lipgloss</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Frank x</span></i></div>Frankiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01625176407087226599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505823122927968589.post-55776195003871053032011-04-09T05:59:00.000-07:002013-02-01T09:04:25.354-08:00Bare Minerals<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Hello there,</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>This is going to be a super short post about something new that I've just bought. Today I had an interview with Bare Escentuals, and tried a few of their products. For those of you who don't know Bare Escentuals are a make up brand that created the first mineral make up, I've heard loads of good things about this make up and as its the best selling foundation brand in the US I thought I better try it. So, after my interview I nipped back to the counter and the love Claire gave me a make under with Bare Minerals. I've always been a bit sceptical of mineral foundations or just using loose powders in general because I think they can age younger skin and can sit in pores and other areas of your face that you really don't want people to see (like a mustache... joke I don't have a mustache...or do I).</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>However, I was pleasantly surprised with Bare Minerals, it actually does what is says and the mineral powder does go on like a cream, and it smooths out any imperfections, it almost makes your skin look like it's in soft focus!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Ok, so I'll probably have more to say about it the more I use it, I can tell you will be waiting on the edge of your seat.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>For those who are interested my shade is "medium beige", which might sound quite dark but I bathed in fake tan the night before my interview.</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Oooh, one final thing, I have posted my first ever youtube video, go and check it out and apologies in advance as to how grumpy I was it was filmed in between me having to run and throw up :(. </i></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">Hello there,</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">This is just going to be a super quick blog post about my new obsession. Now I realise that this is not going to be for everybody, mainly because you do run the risk of looking like a fortune teller wannabe, but I am <i>IN LOVE</i> with feather hair extensions. Don't be alarmed I haven't gone completely mad and I'm not now chasing birds around and gluing their feathers to my head, I recently bought from ebay a kit and two feathers to attach to my hair. The feathers themselves are thin and brightly coloured and can be washed, blow dried, straightened, curled, whatever you want to do with your hair they can take it.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">The kit comes with everything you need to attach these feathers safely and with minimal or no damage to your own hair. The feathers are attached with micro beads that are squashed with pliers to keep them in place, to remove them you simply squash the beads in the opposite direction and slide out the feather. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">I won't include in this post how to attach them, but if you would like to know this comment below and I will either do a step by step instructions or upload a video.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">Below is a picture of me with my first set of black and white feathers in, I now have a pink set next to the black and white ones and am still as much in love with them as I was when I put them in.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">They can last for quite a decent amount of time, a couple of weeks maybe more.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">Like I said I got my first set and application kit from ebay, but you can also get them from www.aheadofhair.biz. (I'm pretty sure this is only for UK residents).</span></span></div>
