January - February News

I had a very good January indeed. Meeting with Brighton Fashion Week's editor and director as well as stylist, tv man and a few others went swimmingly - very happy to be a part of such a cute team. First event was the Frexient party where I met an old chum Sam Hiscox, who is our street style photographer. Good OH! To be honest (brutually honest) the party itself wasn't what I was expecting, although seeing Dan dance with alot of hen do esque ladies was a highlight I must say, I suppose it's all just networking no? Was nice to meet the TV girls and bloggers etc.

Since then we've had a very successful competition with Beauty UK Cosmetics which has literally just ended (6pm) sorry, should of written this sooner aye?
Which has gained us over 500 followers which is obviously a massive result so big ups to BUKC and well, me! ;)

In other news got a little cheeky Valentines Day card from Ben Normanton who does some amazing AMAZING artwork and illustration which you can check right here. Also, got a nice 'fuck da police' (lolz) t-shirt from Sam which my parents hate...score! BTW you can get the shirt cheaper here if you want.

I also now work for a street wear company called Street Casuals as Head of their communications (PR and Social Media). I got a little cheeky call from Miss. Sofi Nowell and bam, it's all mine ♥ I'm really grateful for it as I was starting to regret quitting Tescos as the extra money on top of my marketing job was handy, so big cheers goes to Sof. If you're reading this and you'd like to receive our press releases, information, packages or samples then please e-mail press@streetcasuals.com and I'll get back to you ASAP

Marketing job is still good, has it's moments - We hopefully have some really good stuff coming up soon so all in all a good show!

Don't Panic are giving me more little projects too - not sure if I'm allowed to talk about the next one but it should be fun researching and doing work into it.


What else? What else?...OH YEAH! I only bloody bought a macbook didn't I?! Literally the best purchase ever - had to borrow £120 off my rents but it's ALL mine. Gorgeous. How the hell I ever spent about 10 years of my life with a PC I will never know, seriously if you're considering buying a computer a macbook is definatly the one...TRUST me on this.



Well, not much else so I will leave you with my weekly pictures.

This is from a girl call Sarah Cass which I put on Deer Brains earlier today, how super cute is her work? So colourful and vibrant I love it.

Out with the old, in with the new

Happy 2011 everyone.
Shall not drone on too much but my year has started super well, I left Tescos in December and I am about to embark on working for Streetcasual and Brighton Fashion Week as well as continuing to do projects for Don't Panic and Stradd and of course my main job working for a marketing company mainly on the quick growing Models Own!
Pretty bloody happy with how working adventures are going at the moment.

So, this year as I worked super hard in 2010 and barely left the house I will be focusing on myself, my body, my soul, my friends, my family, buying things when I need it not just because I want it and becoming (dare I say it) sociable.


For now as Christmas, phone bill (phone calls to Tristan and Ollie), credit card has killed my money situation I am going to make a list of things I need and things I really bloody love:


I love this, I think it's really cute but a little bit sad too. I'm not too sure where I'd put it as it wouldn't really fit in with my bedroom colour scheme however for £12 I may as well get it and save it for when I move into my own flat/house.




I got an iPod given to me by my lovely sister (oh hai babe if you're reading) and well I want some cool earphones to go with the cool ass iPod. So, I am thinking these...I've had my eye on them for a while but never really needed them for anything but well, now I do. I'm not sure whether to get them in silver or gold. What do you think?


I absolutely love candles, always have always will. For a long as I can remember we've always had them burning away in our lounge these ones look gorgeous and are supposed to be rose scented which is one of my favourite smells. Are you a candle fan? Which brand, websites are your favourites?



Some pictures of my week:

I'M NOT GONNA GIVE A ....

Now that you're out of my life
I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you
But I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without you
Now I'm wiser
Though that I'd be helpless without you
But I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
Thought I couldn't breathe without
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct
But I'm still here
Even in my years to come
I'm still gon be here
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
I'm wishin' you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon blast you on the radio
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon lie on you and your family
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon hate on you in the magazines
('m better than that)
I'm not gon compromise my Christianity
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gon diss you on the internet
Cause my mama taught me better than that
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
[Beyonce]
Oh (oh) oh (oh)...
After of all of the darkness and sadness
Soon comes happiness
If I surround my self with positive things
I'll gain prosperity
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)

Past two weeks have been really weird, I've been deeply dismissive and negative and I'm not too sure why...might be my current pill I'm going to see how I am next month but it really was just awful...ho hum things are better now and that's the main thing.

Got a phone call from Vanessa about doing the Brighton Fashion Week social media stuff and I've got a meeting with her and the rest of the team next week. Which I'm pretty excited about she said I sound like I'm the answer to her prayers! Super...Another thing to get stuck into, I think that's why I've been upset recently, same old people(i love my friends&family but ya know)...people I can't see regularly because of distance (tristan, ollie, james, sofi, anna) and just the general mundane life...even though I enjoy my job...I guess it's just the same old nonesense and wondering where all the EXCITING things have gone...I'm I making much sense here I'm I?!!!

I've been enjoying sitting back and chilling out letting things happen naturally for once...I either FORCE things or PUSH things away so it's pretty good and a massive learning curve for me to let people, things, animals, babes just all flow nicely...like James said to me I can't let myself or anyone else get upset over NOTHING...very positive stance...

I'm pretty excited about Christmas this year, bought some dope gifts and love sharing and giving to my friends and family. Christmas eve is always amazing as we have so much fun (and booze) around Chloe and Ross's house...the midnight strike is always fun singing and being battered...Ahhh <3

Top Bangin' Beats

I spent most of my time at University listening to the most depressing shit, from Oasis - stop crying your heart out to Foo Fighters - Best of me.

As I've got older I just cannot handle a sad song, i'm emo enough as it is without having a song remind me of a past time, friend, fella, babe, mistake...so this blog post is dedicated to the bangin' beats that I listen to when I'm thinking about that past time, fella, mare, friend, mistake...to get me feeling positive again.


tune, i'm sorry but this song is funny and it's one to sway and dance to for a laugh.


amazing.


probably the only man i will ever be in love with except for mr.roar, tristan and my daddy. uh-mazing!


DOPPPPEEEEE I love love love no doubt and this song is a total pick me upper


keeps me chilled, perfect beat.




reminds me of being at uni with tristan proper going for it on his birthday cracking me up a treat, always makes me want to bump my booty butt. lolz


YES amazing

i could go on forever, five, suicide file, garbage, republica, placebo, n-dubz etc etc.

What are your favourite pick me up songs?

NEWS - Halloween, Bonfire night, Jobs, People, Babes, Deer Brains.

I haven't updated this in a while...

So, I've now got my glasses which made me feel like a super geek at first but now it's all good. Just a matter of getting used to them isn't it? My head ons have gone and my mind is focused on work rather then the pain at the back of my brain thinking I have some terrible tumour or something.

All three job prospects that came to me through agencies were not successful, the worthing one was pretty keen but I turned it down as I knew it wouldn't be the right kind of area for me...working on accounts social media isn't really my idea of 'fun' 1000 heads are keeping me on records and I get e-mails from them updating me about various things going on within the job etc. always interesting to read. The other one I can't even remember so can't be that good. Since then I've had a call from an agency for a job in Soho...just turned it down as I am in no financial matter to go zooming off to London.






For Halloween I went to go an see my sister we qued to get into a fancy dress shop what the fuck is that about...we bascially just wore normal clothes and stuck some blood on us...went to Urban Nerds and met Sofi from the Sofidonuts Blog that I contribute too. Sof is the most adorable person I think I've ever met...I felt like a giant next to her cute 5' nothing frame but hey, who really gives a fuck about that. Adorbz




For Bonfire night I met Danny and all his new working pals from his new job. As well as hanging out with Ollie from Black Milk London where I just got quite drunk and from what I remember we didn't see one firework?! It was raining though so that might of been why? I think I'm in love with his cat though it's such a biffa he's amazing!!!



I'm pressing on with my blog Deer Brains which has recruited 5 new babes. Quite excited to see where that's all going to lead to. We've had competitions with Vice and Lazy Oaf recently which has been amazing for us.


Brighton Fashion Week is looking for someone to do some work for them so I've contacted them to see if there is a Social Media/ PR role involved for me...Going through chats with that. Doing some PR for Jelly Pong Pong which Ollie found for me x and hoping to start doing some Social Media for Margin London.

I went to see Deftones Wednesday just gone (17th November) and it was UH-MAZING. I've loved the Deftones ever since school so it was a highlight of my year. I went with my friend Brad who equally loves them but unfortunately had work at 7am the next day we were about to leave when we heard the intro into 'Change' (my fav) so obviously we stayed and then went and got the train after that. Don't mean to be a sap but I can't get over how amazing they were!!! I was so excited. The babes surrounding me was great too hahaha.


Off to see Jimmy Eat World and Minus the Bear with Shahnaz and Dan on Tuesday which should be good. We all went to see The Get Up Kids together a few months ago which was amazing. It's good to have gig buds.





I've been speaking to Tristan alot lately which has been amazing. Although I haven't seen that boy in about 3 years now he will ALWAYS remain my best friend and my favourite person ever. He's super amazing and always kicks me up the ass when I'm being an idiot about myself and about my life. I really love him so much it's ridic. xxxxxx
Think that's it. Will try and update this more regularly but I'm pretty friggin' busy bruv. x

jobs, glasses, party.

This week has been pretty good.
Hanged out and got drunk with some chums on Monday.

Felt pretty dead on Tuesday but got a call back from the Worthing agency. I, again explained my situation and it resulted in us leaving it till I know whether or not my contract is going to be renewed with SCS Marketing at the end of September. He also offered me to partly work from home and partly from the office as I do not live in Worthing...Sounds quite good....And I can finally get out of Tescos's saying that the past two weeks have been quite fun working there. Everoyne is so cute and sweet it's nice...And I guess now I just know 100% that it won't be forever!

I have heard back from the agency that talked to me about working for 1000 heads. He had been on holiday so that is why he didn't get back to me sooner. Unfortunately there are no positions within the company at the moment but they like what they see and have kept me on top records in case a new project crops up in the future.

I'm quite happy with that to be honest, hopefully (mega fingers crossed) I will stay on where I am now and continue to work for make up companies and I believe we are getting a new fashion client! Exciting. I'm also planning on doing a couple of freelance jobs for a fashion line and of course continue with DEERBRAINS so if/when they call again I can show them more of my mad skillz.

Boots told me my glasses would be delivered today...Still not here? I fucking need them now, squinting hard.
