New Heels :D

 My student loan finally came in and i thought i would treat myself to a couple of new heels!
What's even better is that both these shoes cost under £30! Isn't that amazing?? I got em both from Matalan (good old matalan, 2nd fave next to primark) and I believe they are just two totally sexual objects. I was reading Stef's Blog a while back and she was talking about how the right pair of killer stilletos can make you feel soooo sexy and confident...and I totally agree!!! I LOVE heels but i don't wear them a lot because i'm flat footed so after a while (like 30 mins-1 hour) my feet really start to hurt =( So i kinda just buy them to walk around the house with. True stories. When I need a confidence boost (or to tone my legs!) then i just wear them when doing housework etc lol!

Disclaimer: Apologies for the crappy quality of the pics. Was using my phone camera and no my legs aren't dry, it's just the grainy picture quality/too much noise in the photo, Lol.



Been aching for a pair of ankle boots! I wasn't sure at first because my legs are quite...not small lmao but I have long legs so I think i can carry them off.
  
Damn thick ankles!!!! Ah well, can't change em lol.


And these lovelies are the 2nd pair of heels. They have been dubbed, the Wedding Stripper Heels. Lmao because they are pretty enough to wear to a formal event such as a wedding, but then also, if you're in a...naughty mood, they are versatile enough to be put to use as well lmao.
 




Baaack to life, baaaack to reality..

Hiyaaaaaaaaa!

Sooo sorry for the delay in posts recently! My 4 month summer vacation has officially ENDED and I am now back to educational civilisation! (Groans).
This week has just been so hectic. I swear, my law school has the WORST administrative faculty i've ever experienced! I had to keep running around and trying to sort out what subjects I am to take this year.
For my final year, i've chosen to study Medical Law, Evidence, Family Law & Jurisprudence(<--this is similar to Criminlogy/Sociology etc) and because it's my final year, i'm going to be working triple hard so that I can aim for at LEAST a 2:2 honours classification. Sooo yeah...fun times i suppose :| lol.
Ooooh also i'm really really reaaaaally happy for my other half who has an interview with Teen Vogue in New York to be an assistant fashion consultant! Ok i won't lie, i'm slighty (very) jealous because he is living MY dream damnit! =( But yeah, i'm praying so hard that he gets it because it's an AMAZING oppurtunity and he LOVES fashion like me and it would be soo cool! It'd be like Sex and the City (without the sex bit ¬_¬ ¬_¬ ¬______¬) Lol!!


Ummm what else can I say? Oh yeah, i've fallen off the diet wagon. =(
Ever since i moved into my new house and my 'break up' (we have since reconciled lol..) I just let myself completely GO. I don't know how much i've put on because i didn't bring my scales with me, but i can tell its a lot. It's not easy since i have the following food stores LITERALLY 100 yards or less away from my house: Subway, KFC, Pizza Hut & McDonalds. What's even worse is that i actually have free student discount cards to all those stores, given to me at the freshers fair so everything is dirt cheap. =(. Today I actually ate a whole cake. o_0. By myself. Yep. Ok ok so it was one of those small £1 Battenburg cakes but still! I ate it WHOLE! Funny thing is, i don't really feel guilty lol :D
So yeah...! That's about all I can think of on the updates front. I must start posting on my other blog ( www.splendiferousbeauty.blogspot.com ) but i can't be assed to upload photos grrrr! I'll do it anyway, as soon as i finish eating (again) lmao i'm such a Yoda*.




 *Yoda wtf? Lmao soz it was the first thing i thought of. let me go before i start chatting more nonsense lmao.

Freshers Fair Haul BONANZA - Fail! & Randoms.

Hi Guys!
So today was our University 'Freshers Fair' where the University holds a fair for all the new first year undergraduate students to get free stuff from various companies and to sign up to different sporting clubs and societies. Normally, this event is held for new students only, so naturally, being a 3rd year student, I obviously went for the free stuff lol.
I went to the fair and picked up some stuff...but in general there was HARDLY any good stuff! FAIL. All they were doing were handing out leaflets and other irrelevant things =( But i shall post pics of the stuff I got 'worth mentioning' lol. 

A discount card for the local entertainment centre :S

 

A wristband to get free food at the local eaterie. Free food is always a positive. :D



A Discount book!!! It has discounts for McDonalds, Dominoes Pizza and Subway..DAMN the fact that i'm on a diet at the moment!! =(   =(



A free T-shirt I got for signing up with a nightclub called 'McClusky's'.

 

NO they aren't condoms (although I was given 13 condoms today as well, no point as they have no use now...*HEAVY SIGH* LMAO) Sachets of Tea!! I don't even have a teacup haha.

And those items were the highlight of the whole thing really lmao. After that, I went food shopping..and as I was looking for pasta sauces, I came across this:


Now, If anyone out there has ever read 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' by Lemony Snicket (turned into a movie a few years ago starring Jim Carey) you would Instantly recognize the name of the sauce. I saw it on the shelf and I literally was like "OMG OMG!!! They cooked this sauce in the book!(A series...was one of my favourite childhood books you see so I got uber excited lol, lame I know!)


Aaaaand, I also went into my favourite store, Lush, to top up on some new mystery goodies that I shall be reviewing on my NEW blog, www.splendiferousbeauty.blogspot.com  Please if you haven't already seen it, please follow!!! It's a work in progress at the moment but I would be grateful if you followed!

 



Thanks for reading!

A Series Of Unfortunate Events. :( (Long Read)

Hey people.
So, I have a bit of a tale to tell yall this evening.
Today has been...one heck of a day. At the moment, it's 7:00pm and i've just returned home after being at the hospital all day. To be honest, i'm surprised I remember so much. I shouldn't..but hey, i'm a weirdo lol. Today was....a HELL of a day o_0


It began this morning. I was supposed to be at work today by 8:30am and because I live around 12 miles from my workplace I told myself I was going to wake up at 5am to get ready etc etc. Now, because i've had a lot on my mind for the past few days, i finally drifted off to sleep at around 1am.
A couple of hours later, I wake up and I start crying...at this point, it's been the norm for me, considering the week i've had, to me so I don't think anything of it. A few minutes later, i realise i'm hyperventilating. Thinking that I was experiencing an asthma attack, I used my asthma pump, which was nearby. After a few minutes later, my breathing returned to normal and I lay in bed, thinking about recent events. I've been extremely stressed out this week, from University screw ups to problems at work but most of all, relationship problems and the fact that i've been keeping all of this in and not telling anyone has taken a toll on my mind i suppose.
So i'm lying in bed thinking about something I did earlier this week...and I just started to cry again uncontrollably.


This is the last thing i remember.
The next thing I know, I wake up and i'm in a hospital bed surrounded by a couple of Doctors and my mum, who's in the corner. I'm looking around and immediately i'm sitting there like 'WHAT THE HELL?!" The last thing I remember was sitting in my room crying...and so the doctor started talking some medical nonsence to me but I wasn't really listening because I wanted my mum. 
My mum came over to me and told me everything that happened. It literally sounded like something out of  a movie! She said that I started screaming and that woke her up so she came to my room to see what was going on. Apparently she tried talking to me but I wasn't being coherent. She said that I started shaking really violently and then i apparently passed out.
Now I don't remember this happening at all! This really shocked me, and i'm here looking at my mum like "Whatchu talkin bout Willis ¬_¬" because shit like that just sounded..so bizarre.
So come 2pm in still in the bed and this lovely Dr comes to check me over and replace the drip in my arm (this drip was crazy...i felt so high lmao I don't know what it contained) and so I asked him what the hell happened to me, he tells me that I suffered a severe panic/anxiety attack which he presumes was brought on by extreme stress, this apparently caused my brain to shut down temporarily, causing a lack of oxygen, thus causing me to black out and if my mum hadn't reacted quicker, it would have definately been fatal. I was a bit confused because I thought if the brain stopped functioning, I would automatially die..but alas. Doc knows best i suppose.



So i was sitting here, taking in all this information like o_0. I hugged my mum for sooooo long and then I started crying again because I realised how serious this situation was. The Doctor then gave me some steriods (It was so cute! A hot pink tablet they dissolve in water lol) and then some other medicine and then I fell asleep for a bit, then I woke up again and the Dr came to tell me that they have a councilling depratment which they suggested I should sign up to. This lady from the councilling department was there too and she was telling me all the usual psychiatric mumbo jumbo i've heard before.


Anyway to cut a long story short...I'm back home, I'm doing well, just in bed resting...thinking that this coulda been the big one. I could have died. To be honest, with the way i'm feeling now, I would have welcomed it. I have never been in a situation like the one i've been in today and I know exactly what caused it. I'm scared to sleep because i'm scared that it will happen again, so i'm sitting here watching episodes of Family Guy and the Simpsons to make me laugh.


At the moment, i'm very depressed. I really don't want to sound pathetic and everything, but i know that it was a matter of the heart which caused this. I've just been crying every day, literally every half an hour or so and it's really getting me down...I just don't know what to do. You know that feeling when..when you really love someone and you know they don't feel the same way about you anymore..you want to try and make it right because you love them more than anything in the world,  but they just don't want to listen...as if they don't love you anymore. the rejection..it hurts so much, it hurt enough to actually physically shut my body down...that's major shit right there. I never in all my life felt this way about another person and for them to have such an effect on me physically...Damn. When I told him I couldn't live without him, I guess i meant it literally lol.
I know that this pain is gonna last for a hell of a long time...and I don't know what to do. I literally have no one to talk to about this , the person I COULD talk to about this, doesn't want me anymore so i'm..i just don't know what to do anymore. To be honest if I had died this morning it would have been better. I don't mean to sound like an Emo...I just want to make the pain go away by any means necessary.
Love is so..arrrrgh.


Anyway, I'm sorry about my blabbering on..I just needed to write. I doubt he would read this, but If he does I just hope he knows that I am really in love with him and I  don't want anybody else..i'm never going to be with anybody else even if he doesn't want me...just need to know that he's ok and I know he hates me but I still feel exactly the same about him and that I take back everything I initially said to him and that we really NEED TO TALK. =(




I don't think i've ever been this..serious about anything in my life. Lol the Stephanie 2 years ago would never publically declare her love for someone in as much detail as this...but, love makes people do strange things.


Anyway, I'ma get back to resting and watching TV.


Thanks for reading.

Mini Update & New Blog?? _ _

Hiya girlies!

Just a little update, not that anybody is interested but i feel like writing haha. This has been THE most stressful week of my life..i can't even begin to explain...ups and downs..mostly downs..but anyhoo:


1. I'm moving this Sunday! Last week I went to IKEA and tore that place up!!! my room is so huuuuge..it's a converted living room and it's an empty pallete, so i'm gonna have so much fun decorating it! I bought candles and flowers and cushions and throws..ooooh so excited! Only thing is, the walls are kinda beige/dark yellow, which i'm not really feeling, so i'm gonna go onto this cool poster website and buy some cheap vintage and ethnic posters to jazz it up a bit...photos next week!!!

2. Looks like i WON'T be going into my final year at University :(. I didn't pass one of my exams, 'Equity and Trusts' Law (Just ONE exam worth only 30 credits:|) and because of that, they aren't letting me go into my 3rd year! Can you imagine?! Needless to say, I was devastated because this means I won't be graduating with my friends next year =( Instead i'll be graduating in 2011- I have to retake the year i've just completed... and i've been crying all day about it because i'm one of those annoying people who have planned my life by age, eg. 'when I am 16 i will go to College, then I will be in University by 18 and graduate by 21 and then I will have a good job by the time I'm 23." The fact that i'm now having to graduate at 22 is really PISSING ME OFF because i was supposed to be 21 and i'ma feel like such an old person by the time that happens. I'm just real picky like that lmao.

3. Ummm what else...? Yeah that's about it really.

Now...I'm going to create a new blog!!!!
No i'm not deleting this one, i'll still be very active on this blog, but i'm going to create a blog dedicated to cosmetics-not so much makeup as there are pleeeeeeeeenty of those blogs in the blogosphere atm,however i will drop a random makeup post once in a while, it shall be more toileteries...face masks, exfoliators, body scrubs, facial washes, even mouthwashes haha! (I have a "thing" about mouthwashes lmao)
I love girly things like that and i love writing so i thought i'd just combine the two together and do a nice little girly review blog of my favourite products!
I'll probably launch the site ("launch" LMAO look at me sounding like some sort of popular celebrity website)
in mid-October when I get my student loan lol. After, I shall post the blog site up on here and you can take a look-see and HOPEFULLY follow me!
At the moment, i'm thinking of a name for the blog..something eye-catching and spunky(lmao)!

Ideas greatly appreciated!

Gaga.

I watched the VMA Awards a couple of days ago, and I have to say, HANDS DOWN...Lady Gaga's performance of 'Paparazzi' was the BEST VMA performance i've seen in 5 years! I tried to look for the video on Youtube but MTV are snatching them up quick! So i found this:

(content deleted because youtube deleted it! But i'm sure you've seen it!)




It was a very macabre, gory, DISTURBING performance, but I couldn't take my eyes off her. And the blood! I thought it was brilliant.

I always love it when she performes Paparazzi, espcially when she does it with only the piano to accompany. A truely steller performance by the talented New-Yorker.

This is my favourite live performance of Paparazzi:



Amazing!



A beauty and Make Up Blog?

So i'm thinking of creating a beauty and make up blog in the next couple of months.
But i'm not sure yet.
I know that there are thousands of beauty blogs out there...so what would be the point making one? I'd have to make my one stand out somehow. Lmao.
When it comes to pampering products, i'm a real girly girl and i love trying and testing the latest scrubs, cleansers and exfoliators, especially anything by Lush because that is my favourite store ever (and i used to work there so i'm biased lmao)
But would it be worth making a blog about it?
Would anybody even read it?
Not a lot of people read this blog anyway so would it be worth putting in an effort to make another one?

Hmm maybe.

Any thoughts?

Tagged: Post the 10th pic from your first album & 10 Random Facts!



Well, this is my 10th photo from my first album! Lmao I was getting ready to go out and I had my St Ives scrub on and my hair in curlers...I felt really girly that night! :D

Ok, 10 random facts about me...i've done this before but i'll try and think of some more lol!

1. I'm left handed

2. When I was younger, My life ambition was to be a checkout girl at the supermarket because I love scanning products and hearing the machine go "beep!" it's so cool! Note i said "Love"..i still love this lol

3. I'm clinically an insomniac

4. I have a birthmark on my eyeball. See if you can spot it!

5. I have a hypersensitive smell and taste. If i smell too much of one thing, say, fried chicken, i immediately throw up.

6. I play piano, violin, African drums, Steel drums, recorder and i sing

7. My favourite shops are PRIMARK and Dorothy Perkins aaaand ASOS.com

8. I used to have a Jherri Curl when i was younger =(

9. I lived and went to school in Ghana for 2 years

10. I can Yodel

One of those days = Everyday

Eurgh. I'm sorry about this rant

I feel really low at the moment.
I decided to take some photos of myself with my cameraphone and digital camera earlier on and when I was done, i uploaded them all onto my laptop and sifted through them. To my utter disappointment none of them came out at least halfway decent at all.
Now i'm just sitting here in floods of tears because I really do wish i was pretty. I wish that I could take a random photo without worrying about the lighting and worrying about which angles to face to make me look more 'appealing' to the camera.
I'm the person who takes at least 300 pictures so I can get at the most, 4 good pictures which can be publically viewable.
I always thought that If i lost a bit of weight, maybe my pictures would come out better, but it's still the same. It's still the same ugliness I see in the mirror everyday and I hate it. There's not one part of me physically that I can honestly say I like. There were times when I would pray for God to just kill me and re-make me all over again with different features and body parts because I don't think I can 'love myself'-not in this body. Or if i do, it's gonna take a hell of a long time and countless cosmetic surgery procedures.
But who has the money for that?
I've thought about it many times and I swear on my life if i had the funds to get something done i would make my first consultation like THAT.

I don't know why i'm ranting...i feel like this everyday so I don't know why i'm choosing to spill it all today.
I just wished i looked like a completely different person.
There's so much more I want to say but..i don't want to get too personal on here..yet I don't feel i have anyone to talk to atm.
I think i'ma leave it here.

It's all gone so fast!

I can't believe the past 2 years have gone so fast!

I can't believe i'm going into my 3rd and final year as a student...and then after...I shall be a proper adult.

NOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm institutionalised!!!
It is quite scary when you think about it. It seems like only yesterday I started University, a fresh faced, eager student, and now i'll be graduating next Summer, when i'll be 21.

21 already.

Where have the years gone?!
I STILL don't know what I want to do with my life...however I am strongly considering a career in Criminal Law. I love Criminal Law

I'm moving out to my new house next sunday and I am soooo excited! My room is huuuuuuuuge and the house is near my Uni so that's all good...and I should be driving properly by Xmas which is great. I wanna thank God for putting everything into place for me this year!


Hmm, this was going to be a longer post, but I'm in an internet cafe and I have likr 2 mins left before it cuts out so I shall probably edit this later.

Toodles! xxxx

Life without food - Day 5

so, as i've stated earlier, i was going on this diet where i essentially live on 500 calories a day for 100 days via these special 'milk' shakes- no food is allowed, no fluid except for water, no gum, no mints, no nothing :( sounds hard right?

IT IS!!

On top of that, I'm developing a chest infection so i'm really really ill at the moment and yesterday I think was my weakest point...I felt really emotional and hungry and so I ate one grilled salad tomato. Lmao i felt so guilty afterwards!
We aren't allowed to eat food on this diet because our bodies have to go into something called 'Ketosis' where the body feeds off the fat stores instead of the glycogen in our Pancreas and if you eat, you take your body out of ketosis, thus no fat eating.

It's really stressful, especially when my mum keeps on making all this food and eating it infront of my FACE in order to tempt me. Talk about support. lol.
Ahh well...i've lost 3 pounds in 3 days so i suppose that's a silver lining..

I'm in love! <3

New Buys & New Makeup Experimentation

Hiya Guys!

So today I went to the MAC stand at the House of Fraser to buy some new foundation, because the foundation I am currently using...well it's pretty shit and gives me crappy coverage:


So I wanted a change of scenery lol. Now i used to be opposed to using any sort of liquid foundation because I always assumed it would be heavy on my face and just be really sloppy etc etc but after talking to the MAC makeup artist and him showing me different techniques of applying the 'dation, I am officially a convert!


In addition to this, I thought I would buy a proper brush to apply with as well as I hate using the little sponges they came with. The MAC artist was telling me about this Porcupine looking brush called an 'airbrush' brush or whatever it was. It's so BLOODY EXPENSIVE! I shall not, in this lifetime, be paying £30 for a damn paintbrush! So I bought the blusher brush instead:


Simplez.

I also bought an eyeshadow palette by BeautyUK, which is available from Superdrug. There's a certain colour in the palette which I adore, which yall will see in the photos below:




I decided to experiment again on some eye makeup and see how it turned out. It's harder for me to do eye makeup as I have weird eyes... What I like to call "Embryo syndrome" which means that I have huge bug eyes/no proper eye crease/saggy eyelids (LMAO) which is why I'm new to this whole makeup thing. ANYHOO, I was browsing through one of my old Vogue's and I saw a D&G makeup test shoot where the artist used gold and black on the eyes..so i tried to recreate it and tried to blend it all in etc etc etc
. Here are the final results:





(Excuse that pink think in the corner. Something went wrong on PShop lol)






Comments? Concerns? Tips especially?!?!

Thankies!

Vigilance Or Paranoia?

Ok so something really weird happened a couple of days ago as I boarded the bus into town to go shopping, and i thought I would blog about it because this is the 3rd time this has happened to me and i'm curious to know whether this has happened to anyone else as well.

Ok so i'll give you the full rundown of what happened...

So i'm outside the bus stop on my road, quietly waiting for the bus, as you do, and the bus comes along and it's really really packed up.
So I get on the bus and walk to the back and stand near the rear sliding doors, where I normally stand and i start to read my book. Now, standing beside me is a Muslim woman who was wearing a Burqa (the long dress which only shows the eyes) and she is reading the Quran- pretty normal right? I think nothing of it and continue to read my book. (Now please please please bear in mind that I am by NO MEANS stereotypical towards Muslims at all and I do treat everyone the same :D )
Ok so i continue reading my book, oblivious to the world, and I look up and see that this woman has moved opposite me. Normal. So i continue to read. Six minutes later, I look around, finally looking at her and she is looking DIRECTLY in my face, with a really weird possessed face on..I stared at her back with a 'Umm..can I help you?' face and continue reading my book. I then start to hear her loudly reciting verses from the Quran and flipping the pages every 2 seconds. At this point, i'm so engrossed with my book, I hardly pay attention to it. I look up again and she is still staring at me! At this point I begin to feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable and move to a vacant seat at the back of the bus.

She follows me to the back of the bus whilst staring at me.

Now i'm not one to make a scene so i just keep my mouth shut and continue to look for something to distract my attention. I catch the attention of another passenger on the bus and she gives me the 'Girrrrl! Why is this woman staring at you? She's a bit weird isn't she' sympathy look and I smile as a reply.
Anyhoo I look up again and she is staring and me, her eyes as wide as saucers, as if in a trance and again she begins to recite words from the Quran and pray aloud.
Now, after the sucicide bombings that happened on the buses and trains in London a while ago, I would say that i've become a bit more....vigilant when on public transport and in all those incidents, It was said that the bombers would recite phrases from the Quran and then say a certain phrase (which i've forgotten) before they set the bomb off, so the way in which this woman was praying aloud kinda made a me a TAD uncomfortable..and it didn't help that she was behaving weirdly and STARING AT ME in the FACE.
I tried to keep calm but something inside me told me to 'GET THE HELL OFF THE BUS' so I got off at the next stop and walked to the shopping centre.

Guys has this ever happened to you?!
I kinda felt really guilty for doing that because i'm not judgemental or stereotypical at ALL but something about the way she was behaving just really irked me deep down. :(
This happened to me last year when I was on the Northern Line and there was a man sweating and fidgeting on the train carriage I was on, he started speaking aloud in Arabic and EVERYONE on the carriage was scared shitless.

Was I being paranoid? Or Vigilant?
Was I in the Wrong?
