So, today I am 24. I feel pretty good for it as I feel like I've progressed with my life in the past year. I'm more happier than I've ever been and I'm stronger and more positive which is always an amazing thing. Birthday's make me laugh because I get Facebook messages, texts and calls from people who haven't spoken to me in so long - nice though I guess :) must admit there's some people who've written on my wall and I've kinda forgot about them - you know old school chums and alike.
I am off to London on Saturday with 25 chums to Proud2 - It's going to be pretty hectic rounding up the troupes I can feel it but should be good. Managed to bag VIP and free entry from lovely Yanina over at Big eyes, little soles xx I can't wait will be a good break from work! Also, hope to meet Matt and Tom.
Been doing the usual, nothing out of the ordinary - looking after Rory, he's a nightmare. He barks at all the animals on the TV, apparently the cure is to spray lemon juice in his face but surely that's not right? Does anyone know how to prevent such a naughty dog so I can watch Animal Park and Lion World?!
I bought some super duper items from a Charity store on Tuesday - went out to get my prescription pills and came back with a coat and a really nice cardie and some other bits.
I keep getting text messages from a Recruitment agency and I'm pretty sure that's not the best way to go about it? He sends me through e-mails as well. I am super grateful to have people wanting me to work for them but I've already said I don't want to work in Worthing/Brighton and that I've got 3 paid jobs already...Yet the texts and e-mails still come through.
Had a busy week last week as Street Casuals was launching the new Hundreds tees so was making full use of my e-mail account as well as grouping up advertisements and sorting out competitions with some cool magazines and blogs. Keep an eye out for all that here.
We (Deer Brains) were very kindly given tickets by Jess from Wearesocial on behalf of Vitamin Water to a show at London Fashion Week which will be up on the blog soon. Gorgeous clothes, excited to see how it went. Richard was in the press section of Marios Schwab show so it should be full of great pictures and gossip. We also had an invitation to Alex Noble who has design Ga Ga garments! No one could cover that though which is a shame but it's all good.
We also had an invite from PUSH PR to Jasper Gavida who's designs I love. Read about what went on here. Also, Hannah from PUSH PR invited us to Love Art Wear Art which is Nicole Le Grange's footwear range. Read more here.
Quite enjoyed reading this, as someone who has 6 important e-mail addresses this was a helpful way to making the most out of my replies. To be honest I do most of them anyways but it's a good read and the 99% website is good on the whole so have a peep. Courtesy of 99%
Hey Chums, me again. Just a quickie to tell you about a few things.
My lovely little work mate and friend since we were about 8...Lindsay made some cute cupcakes the other day and brought one into work for me. Please excuse my tired, worked out face in these pictures, also whoopsie for them being a little bashed up - was in my tote bag all day!
They were so nice, I hope Lindsay makes some more so she can bring them to me - serious.
New drops over on Street Casuals - Currently being The Hundreds Spring T-shirt collection which I am really bloody lovin' I'm such a fella when it comes to t-shirts love them!
I am also currently fighting a cold, sneezing and coughing galore but still I gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this...
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.
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?
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
