Why don’t you sit right down and stay a while

Hello! This was my bright and rosy face early this weekend. I found out very last minute that I didn’t need to work on saturday so I managed to get a whole load of uni stuff done that was playing on my mind.

I need more dresses like this ♥

In the first picture I’m wearing the gorgeous lipstick that Danielle sent me from America. Its a make called CQ and I think the colour is Sandy Rose. I’ve been wearing my mac liberty of london ‘ever hip’ lipstick to death, so this was a nice change. After coming to work at The Tron and the BBC I’ve actually been able to paint my nails all nice and not worry about them getting chipped and ruined! So I took it upon me to play around with one of my alice opi’s, a hello kitty glitter from Danielle and a clear topcoat from Asda.

These cute little nail art stickers came with the HK varnish, along with the sweetest little necklace! haha. Im pretty rubbish at my nails to be honest, too impatient but I took my time with these ones and this is what I ended up with…

Note that this picture was before the scalpel slicing incident, my pointy finger on my left hand is totally mauled at the top! 🙁 It’s beginning to heal now but I can say it looks far from pretty.

So yeah, I mentioned at the start of this post that I’ve been a super organised lady this weekend. Over saturday and today I managed to finally buy a whole load of new stuff for my kit! New brushes, tools, a staple gun, heat gun, glue gun, stanley knife and blades, measuring tapes, a swiss army style multi tool and lots of new bits for my sewing box. This has to be the geekiest haul ever, but it will be really useful when I get onto the new few jobs I’m doing, as most of this stuff I’ve had my eye on for a while and knew I needed it.

I’ve also organised my website design and build from a designer who just happens to be the boyfriend of a very lovely lady blogger that most of us read and adore! But I’ll chat more about that another time! 🙂 New website details means new business cards orders from moo.com. The first pack I got a while back served me well as a trial, but now I’ve revised the design and info I’ve put on them. So a fresh new pack should be making its way to me in time for my degree show. Talking about that, I have until the end of may to organise the rest of the event along with everyone in my year. I need to get my portfolio completed, lots of cv’s printed and stealing back these paintings from my mums salon Girls Night, and the pub and restaurant Trader Joes in Glasgow. These will be going on display in my booth! Add a little splash of colour (they are both rather big)

Something seems to be carrying me in the right direction, bit by bit things are falling into place which has been helping my worrying and anxiety alot. I’ve been having more strange, upsetting dreams and I think I might invest in a book because it would be interesting to see how my subconcious brain activity relates to what I’m feeling/thinking during the way.

The medium Margaret Solis told me in between christmas and new year, when I went for a reading some really interesting things and some of which have came true already and her predictions were 100% accurate. I know some people can be wary of mediums but Margaret is a very well established and respected woman, she gave me some reassurance on the brink of this new year when I knew a big transition was going to be happening in my life and I knew I would be needing some guidance. One of the things she said, was that close to the middle of the year a man was going to make me a job offer that I couldn’t refuse. Out of completely no-where, in a round about way this happened to me at the BBC last week. I don’t want to talk about it properly until anything is set in stone, just incase it falls through. But I’m beginning to see a whole new meaning to the saying ‘what’s meant for you wont go by you’ ♥

    Wow, when I get my salon I am so getting you to do a painting for it! Talented lady.
    Great umbrella dress, perfect for this weather. 🙂
    Glad things are working out, offer you can't refuse sounds interesting. I had my cards read a few weeks back and some of things she read are spot on so far, total believer in these things.

    you have a restuarant named Trader Joe's? That's funny because where I live, it's a grocery store. I wonder if they are owned by the same people.. anyway love those paintings, they very good! And the fun nail decor 🙂
