I know...it's been a while...

I've been busy (well, busiER) Started a Nail Technician course with Essential Nails ! I love it, the nail art courses are great! Fun and the fab part about it is at the end of the course after submitting your nails, you get assessed and if you did a great job you get a certificate (fully recognized by BGT)! It's not one of those silly online schools where all you do is answer multiple question sheets and submit paperwork, with EN it's all practical! Practice, practice, practice!!!! The designs aren't easy but not impossible either... they make you sweat! But it's really rewarding when you get it perfect! :) Here are some of my first attempts!!! I'm doing the Acrylic Art Master course (Kirsty Meakin) I bought the course about a week ago and got a 50£ voucher along with it, to spend on the website, so I'm making a list of extra materials I want, or maybe even save it towards my next course, I will see. :) Ok, so that's what I'm on at the moment, I will

Nail It!

Aaahhhh.... yes. Went crazy the other day at the drugstore... Couldn't help myself. So just a few lines of what I bought, what I think and lots of pictures!

FOR SALE!!!!

YAY! I've been finally spring cleaning my house and found loads of stuff I didn't even know I HAD! Things I've bought but haven't even used... yes... I am such a compulsive hoarder... but hey, it's time to move on and SELL SELL SELL!!!! A couple of months ago I bought these neon pink converse low-tops and stupidly got the wrong size! I'm still not used to UK shoe sizes, I'm an 8, and 8 is a UK size 5, but got all confused and bought a UK size 6, which is a 9... :'( So they are too big for me... So!!!! they could be yours, Im selling them for £15 only because I threw the box away... I hate empty boxes... I've NEVER worn them, they are brand new... I've only tried them on once... (Neon Pink All Star Converse UK size 6 - New without box - £15) NEXT... (Ann Summers Tickle My Fancy Cami SET - UK Size 14) (New unused, in origi nal packaging - £12 ) The only reason I'm selling this is because I already have a set, the same one... Why the hell do I h

the miraculous PLAYPEN

Buying a playpen has always been an option to me but has also been a topic for debate between me and hubby. At first he was quite against the idea of "putting our beloved daughter in a cage" (yes, he used the word "cage") but after reasoning with him for a couple of days, the idea kind of grew on him finally making him more eager to getting one that I was! I'm really not sure why people are so against playpens for their young ones, they are built for protecting your kids and giving you some time to actually DO stuff around the house without worrying that your lil' princess/prince would face any sort of danger, because, come on, seriously, no matter how much you BABY PROOF your house they ALWAYS manage to find something hazardous that you never even imagined could be harmful or even found! Hell! maybe you didn't even know it was there! So... as you can see here, it's pretty spacious, bright-happy colored, comes with a soft padded mat, toys sold separ
