Lucky Cupcake ★

Have I told you how much I love Lucky Cupcake? Yes? Good!
Because it is A LOT! I am a hair bow addict now thanks to this lady ♥
Here are my 2 latest bows...

Bake and Destroy Hardcore logo and Chicago flag
Link

Natalie of Bake and Destroy is the bad ass tattooed girl
I'm sure everyone presumed I'd turn out to be yet wimped out on becoming
Between her tweets of cakes and classic wrestling I've grown super fond of the woman
And maybe some day I'll achieve some skill of baking
and stop pussyig out on tattoos and finally be as cool as her

The second bow is the Chicago bow!
Which is also where natalie is from and It wasn't until a few minutes after ordering
my brain sort of went "oh I see what I did there" when it came to their connection haha
Chicago is also home to some pretty awesome looking hot dogs as well as Ian's pizza.
It's not often I'm driven to a place by food alone but Chicago is an exception


I also got a little DIY... which is odd for me
I have a creative mind, but no creative talent. At all. Haha
Though this was simple!

Using a ribbon from my Lush hat box of bath bombs
I tied myself a large bow and attached a safety pin to the back like so...


and now, I have a long bow to store all my little bows on to!
I'm looking for a better place to hang it, but I love displaying them this way
It also helps to stop losing them too, I was finding them all over the house haha

As for Lucky Cupcake, you should be sure to follow her elsewhere

She also has limited coupon codes! So keep your eyes peeled for them ♥
and be sure to let her know Sami Spoon sent you *wink*

Snapshot Sunday ♪

Snapshot Sunday! ♪
A new theme for my blog, of jumping on the bandwagon
that is posting weekly images from my phone hehe
I always have my phone on hand so I snap a fair few random things
and I sometimes screencap silly things as well

These blog entries won't necessarily be fulfilling content wise
But just something easy to browse through on a chilling Sunday evening

Expect lots of pets, food and proof of how boring I actually am IRL haha ♥
Of course, it's picture heavy so I added a "cut" to not infringe on my blog page!

Circle lense review ★

The lenses in this post were provided to me by MukuCHU♥ circle lense store
Though required to review for their website all opinions stated are my own

Lense;
Lotus Flower in Violet
This series is available in plano only
Shelf life is 3 years with a usage length of up to 1 year
They are 15mm diameter


With such a pale, almost lilac purple and a light pattern
at first glance I wasn't sure what to expect from these leneses at all


You can see the pattern to these lenses is rather interesting
It isn't a full block of colour and have clear parts allowing your natural colour to blend
These lenses will look different on all eyes as they don't fully change the colour
They blend within it and offer a highlight instead, but are still strong enough to show a difference


Having a clear area in the lense you can see it shows the white of your eyes
Still the black outer ring helps with the enlargement of these 15mm lenses



Style; ★★★☆☆
The lenses are pretty and interesting but I think there are too many clear zones
I wasn't keen on how they showed the whites of my eyes through these areas

Comfort; ★★★★★
They were perfectly comfortable!

Enlarging effect; ★★★★☆
Slightly hindered by the clear areas but still have a larger appearance



Want a pair?
ORDER HERE

If you do order, it's always nice to mention you heard them from my blog ♥

Tardy for the party; A shoe collection

So for Christmas I received my first pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes!

They look a bit odd with their laces tucked in like this lol

They are the Tardy in white leather and I got them in the Cyber Monday sale
on Sole Struck for 70% off! Great deal huh?
Though they were actually purchased by my parents for Xmas of course
So happy to finally have some as beyond Litas these are my favourite JC shoes
I've yet to give them a full road test as I'm having issues with my self image right now
But I won't lie and I totally keep just putting them on... lame hahaha

I felt inspired to take pictures of all my shoes
It's in no way a great collection, and in to way as cool as Asami's ♥
But I hope you don't mind the spam and enjoy!

Lazy Oaf ★

Hurray, the Postman brought me goodies from Lazy Oaf!
I took advantage of their sale buying a T-shirt and a necklace
it was super hard to choose as I had a £30 budget
My cart contents changed numerous times before settling haha
Here are my goods!




Yes way/No way T-shirt
I settled on this deciding, it was like having 2 tops in one (derp)
The top is now officially sold out too! Good thing I snagged one

I need to make some gif whilst wearing this, I can feel it! Haha

Skull and cross necklace
This really reflects on my current taste in jewelry
It was something I'd had my eye on for a little while
and since it was on sale I thought "Why not?"


Lazy Oaf are such a cool brand, I've loved them for a long time
and I can't believe they are 10 years old! Time flies for sure
I feel rather guilty though as they are a brand I have liked for so long
yet I haven't invested in them much and it's not only stupid but a darn shame!
Especially since many of their items/designs are limited
If you don't buy things you like asap chances are they could be gone forever
I have 2 examples of this from experience; I love Money T-shirt and Creepers

I remember the T-shirt well, it was around during my time at Uni
I had... or even have, a reputation of being a materialistic shopaholic
and I always wanted it as a pun but ironically I was too poor at the time rofl

As for the creepers, it will be a miracle if I find any as they were limited
But Lazy Oaf told me they had some awesome shoes news in the future
I couldn't even imagine what that could have meant until I spotted these...
Can someone say Litas?!
Are these a Lazy Oaf exclusive or do they already exsist?

In case it's not obvious, I'm on a little Lazy Oaf hype hehe
If they release luck bags again I know I will get one for sure!

You won't regret it!

Hello 2012


Being ill lately it was hard for me to look back on the year
All I kept remembering was all the crap thats happened, the weight I've gained
So my mind was heavily shrouded in negativity, though thats common anyway

But regardless, 2011 was a good year with it's highlights!

I went to London to visit my friend Rhi, who I miss so much and love forever
I found the amazing world of bath salts, bath bombs and Lush products
I went to see WWE in Newcastle for Edge's fairwell retirement tour
In Newcastle I saw my hero Beth Phoenix wrestle
My boyfriend bought his pet Degus aka/ The Boys!
I spent a holiday in Blackpool with my boyfriend and had great fun
We reached our 2 year anniversary!
I returned to Preston without having a melt down about my past there

In Preston I met Indie Wrestling LEGEND Colt Cabana
Wrestler Greg Burridge sat on my knee during a dance off
I finally got the elusive Maneki Neko charm for my Vivienne Westwood bracelet
I met up with Bloomzy and had a fab day with her!
I met up with Tori my best friend through school
I saw A Day to Remember live for the first time
I got my first pair of Jeffrey
Campbell shoes!

and even with these selected highlights, there was plenty more inbetween


I also discovered some amazing people, blogs and talents this year
Special shout outs and thank yous to the following...
Bake and Destroy, Di Depux, Lucky Cupcake, luxy♥loli, Oborocharms and Sassy n Punk
You all opened my eyes to supporting the little guys ♥


I'm going into 2012 beaten, but I hope to come out of it fighting
That idea is my resolution, I just want to better myself
I want to be off my medications and be who I once was again ♥
