The Weight of the World

I should be really excited this week about spending the upcoming weekend with my family as it is my sisters birthday and we are having a slumber party - grown up stylee', however my excitement is dampened by the four little numbers that flash on my scales.

Instead of looking forward to catching up on gossip and shinanigans back home, I am obsessing about what to wear to hide the flab and how to handle any conversations about weight - mine/others/loss/gain.

I wish I wasn't thinking about it and could just look forward to being around those who care about me instead of worrying what they may think/say about my waistline.

Fingers crossed it will all be ok.

Don't volumise (or) 'millionise' . .

I have never thought of myself as particularly naive, so when I so whaen I first saw Eva Longoria flash her millionised lashes I thought I'll get myself some of those!

Imagine my disappointment when I raced home with my new L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara to discover I only got the wrong ruddy colour, brown instead of black - doh! This said I would not have thought that this colour mix up would have made such a lack of an impact on my lashes, I can barely see my lashes even with coats of this mascara on, not to mention there is no 'pop' when I remove the brush. The excess wiper only sends all of the excess product on to the end of the mascara wand in a big blob - nice!

Now this could be due to me being used to lovely black mascara and that this one is brown or simply that the product is just not up to much, I don't know and I don't intend on spending another £10.99 to find out.

Never the bridesmaid. Never the bride.

Last week was my best friends wedding, so I thought I'd show you what I wore. . .

For the hen do I got this black number from USC for £35.00.

As you can see, ala Nicola Roberts I embraced my paleness. I wore Girls Aloud (Kimberly Walsh) lashes, which are amazing and stuck in some clip on extensions, we had a fantastic night!

I was not so happy with the dress I wore for the wedding, I happened to be working nightshifts on A&E the week before so had to shop online and settled for this lacy dress, once again, from USC.

However, as I am a curvy girl and it was freezing on the big day I had to team it with a black belt and a black cardigan.

I wasn't particularly happy with the way I looked but the day wasn't about me so I had to grin and bear it. It was after all, a great day to remember!
