Candy
I know I said I was planning to blog every day other but what can I say I'm a confessed rule breaker(just kidding!) so from the positive reception that my guide on how to maintain a good relationship with your pet recieved, I'm going to guess that some of you guys are obsessed with your animals too! I love that and it's always great to see an owner that still loves and appreciates their pet, I remember before I had candy I used to go around to my friends houses (all with pets) and they'd be so uninterested and even to this day I don't know how people can ever get enough of the little treasures. From the minute I got Candy I knew that I was going to be an obsessive owner, and I'll admit it to this day I still am. I mean just the other week she had to go to the vets(she gets these weird ulsers nothing major) and I made the decision to go with her I usually don't because I get upset, you might think it's silly but she's my baby! So me and my mum take her into the little room and the vet had to take a blood sample, and I swear to you the minute he touched her with it she went into attack mood hissing crying, scratching you name it and what did I do? Well I turned around cried and left the room of course, I remember looking out of the vets window for a good 20 minutes just letting what had just happened sink in. Oh yeah I haven't been back in case you were wondering! Mentally scarred is an understatement. So the low down is that she was given to me as a birthday present for me turning 7, even then my mum tells me that I insisted I wanted a ginger cat (she's ginger and white by the way) I've moved around quite a bit ever since I was young the biggest one being from Kent to London just before the start of year 6 and I think candy being with me through the majority of it just brought me so much closer, so yes she is more than just a cat to me! I love everything about her from the way she tries to get a taste of my cereal to her excitement when she sees a packet of ham being opened, she's one of a kind that's for sure. Oh I just remembered I've made my first YouTube video which is just a few blogging tips/motivation that I wanted to share, I'd love it if you could take a look. You can find it here, Happy Thursday.c

Emily And Jessica
Okay I'm really enjoying feeling like I'm giving you guys a few things and people to look out for, I might even make this a regular thing! So today I thought I'd give you a great duo to subscribe to, both located in Islington Emily and Jessica have made a habit of making the craziest videos (Some jackass inspired) and then uploading them onto youtube for the world to see. Some may say their crazy I say it's genius! This is the great thing about the internet today, weirdness is celebrated (I mean look at Joey Essex and Charlotte Crosby) and Youtube is a fantastic way to spread some awareness of yourself, I mean Hello Justin Beiber.
So their channel consists of mainly video diaries or Vlogs as they are more commonly known today, and It's interesting to gain a small insight into two London Teens. They're also really good friends which is probably why their videos are getting fairly popular, knowing them in real life I can tell you right now yes they are really that mad but we all are a little right? It would mean a lot if you could check them out, you can find their channel "Emily and Jessica" here. Happy Wednesday.x

Sian's nails
Since I can remember I've prided myself on the tidiness of my nails, and I can honestly say i haven't had unpainted nails for about 4 years. This is not to say I don't like them plain and clear, because it's a lot less agg than painting shaping and all that malarkey. It just doesn't work for me now because I've had them painted every day for years in every colour you can imagine so I can't stand looking at them without a colour on. Only recently have I started using a base coat on my nails because when I visited the nail salon, the manicurist recommended that I use a base coat to protect my nails from staining as a result of the varnish. Most brands that you can expect make base coat such as Essie Rimmel ect. However I just use this base coat that came from an Accessorize nail kit (who knew that would come in handy) that I discovered on a recent clear out.
I try to change the colour of my nails as often as I can so this week I've chosen "go Ginza" by Essie which is a light purple and a personal favourite of mins! This was a purchase from fragrance direct so I managed to snag it for just £2.50!! It's lasted me about 4 months so far and it's so easy to apply because it's fairly thick so you don't have to go over it a million times which you can tend to find in the cheaper nail varnishes.
Finally I end with a top coat, this just gives it a finishing shine and it makes the nail varnish a little stronger against chipping (which is always a problem). For this I also use the top coat from the accessorize manicure set (is there anything this set doesn't have?!)
I hope this helped. Happy Tuesday!x

Little Mix New Single "Salute"
We all love a bit of girl power am I right? And even more when its coming from four fierce ladies! Yep these badass's are Perri, Jesy, Jade and Leigh Anne, or as they are more commonly known X-Factor Winners "Little Mix" I am so proud of them for being the first girl group to ever win Xfactor as well as actually carrying on with their music and making some great singles such as "Wings, DNA, How Ya Doin" And now Salute which is already on it's way to being a great hit. It's similar to Beyonce's "Run the world" In the sense that girlpower, rocking dance moves and killer outfits are somehow squished into just one video. This along with the song itself and the fact that it is Little Mix makes this my favourite video out at the minute, I feel like today so many artists are so afraid to be a bit different apart from Katy Perry, And Miley Cyrus of Course (I've got you girls HA) so it's refreshing to see that these once innocent girls and now sexing up their image and making music that is more relatable to the older listeners. (We still want girl bands too!!) The fact that all of the girls are absolutely Gorgeous probably makes it so much easier for them to pull of this more edgy look, (I'm talking Perri with a full head of braids) But I applaud them for their amazing progress and such a catchy song! Now I've seen the amazing style that these girls have expect some edgy Blog Posts from now on"
Happy Monday.x

Similar style smaller price tag.
We all love a bargain that's a given, but today unless you're willing to search through the piles of sale items and tear apart the whole of Primark H&M and forever 21 it can be a pretty hefty task. So over the week I have been searching through every brand you can think of to find you similar products to those from the big guys such as TOPSHOP River Island and Zara, fear no more today cheaper will no longer mean low quality and out of style!
My first find was this beautiful laced kimono from Missguided, this is pretty similar to the RI one below although at more than half the price it's An amazing deal! Missguided £19.99
River Island-£55
Lately after seeing just about everyone in one of these adorable floppy hats (Or similar) Like many others I have been on a mission to get one myself. But oh wow! the prices that i've been seeing which are around the £30 range means that my search is still on as I refuse to pay that kind of money for something I'll probably blog/wear once. So I took to Ebay and I found this fantastic lookalike, although I must worn you it is from Hong Kong so it may take a while to arrive but it's free delivery, Ebay -£5.30
Topshop £28
Remeber the buzz over Jeffrey Scullys? They sold out just about everywhere and to my knowledge they were never brought back into stock (BOOOOO!) But now brands such as My1stWish Or public desire as they are known on Instagram) sell these beauties in multiple colours and for a fraction of the price!
Public desire- £39.99
Jeffrey Campbell- £90
I hope this has helped a little, showing all of us that rash impulse buys are probably what's leaving our bank accounts sufficiently emptier. Oh yeah did I mention that it's Friday!!!x
