Beautiful, Sexy Lip Stains, Get Kissing!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope your day was more exciting than mine. I indulged in some delicious red velvet cake, bought myself some perfume ''Noa'' because giving yourself is better than not receiving anything on this hyped up day on the calendar. If you didn't know the origins of Valentine's day I'd love to share the story behind it. During the times of the Romans, Emperor Claudius didn't want couples marrying during the war. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and secretly married couples. Valentine was tried and found guilty before his execution. He sent a note to his jailors daughter and signed it from your Valentine. So charming! People now send messages and cards to each other and Valentine's Day came about. Today whether you received wishes or not, someone will always be thinking sweetly of you. It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to profess love.

Here are some very pretty lip stains which I think are beautiful and last much longer than lipstick on your lips!

A Very Berry Healthy Smoothie!

Happy Sunday!

Today brings the BAFTA'S & The Grammy's for our viewing pleasure! Was it just five years ago that Whitney Houston died before the Grammy Awards show? I want to dedicate my blog to everyone who has woken up today and in all the previous years ,who have lost a loved one to suicide! It brings tremendous turmoil to the family and definitely not calm and peace to the person who took their own life! Yes the body dies but the soul lives on and can regret hasty decisions. Please show love, compassion, and understanding to anyone going through a hard time. Depression does not show itself like a big ugly cloud. People hide their feelings but suffer in silence. Spare a thought for everyone out there going through a struggle. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Don't do things on impulse.

Healthy drinks! They are good for you. It can lower the risk of heart disease, it can improve your mood, and also give you a good portion of your five-a-day. Hope you enjoy my favorite drink, a berry smoothie! Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
• 1 ripe banana
• 140g of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
• Apple juice or mineral water
• Honey, to serve

Instructions:
1. Slice the banana into your blender or food processor and add the berries of your choice. Whizz until smooth. With the blades whirring, pour in juice or water to make the consistency you like. Toss a few extra fruits on top (suggestion), drizzle with honey and serve.

Have an awesome day and keep smiling!

Love & Peace.

Fashionable Sneakers!

Happy Friday!

If there's anything exciting, it's definitely the weekend looming that makes things extra special. Like get yourself some amazing sneakers. Show off your slender, fit limbs and go for a long jog. No there is no sunny beaches but nothing breaks the monotony off the beautiful Yorkshire Dales which I love! To put the jewel in the crown a trip to the movies after a couple of weeks of boring stuff is going to be my highlight. If you guessed which movie I might be taking in ''no prizes''. It's after all the most anticipated sex-sizzling movie to hit the screens. Yes, Fifty Shades Darker. And even Jamie Dornan oozes sex on screen . Although today seated next to Keanu Reeves on the sofa of The Graham Norton Show. I wondered if he is actually attractive? Don't get me wrong, I have a thing for Irish men they are incredibly sexy I just need to find myself one!
With this second part after Ana runs off in the first, Grey wants her back and promises that he's happy with her vanilla, instead of tutti frutti, so she agrees to give it a go. The dialogue is funny and the sex scenes are a good,  bit sleazier than part one! If you're the blushing sort, save it for date nine or just go with your girlfriends. But leave Mum at home!
As I sip a nice glass of rose, I shall leave my dreams of Christian Grey, Irish men, jockeys, trainers , everything I love for bed time!

Gorgeous Sweaters!

Happy Monday,

Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday and I hope you all had enormous fun with parties, family time ,and of course the hugely exciting game. I went to bed after half time seriously thinking the Atlanta Falcons were going to run away with it but of course Tom Brady and The Patriots fought back and I was so pleased to wake up to The Patriots winning! Shame I didn't put a bet on that! Lady Gaga didn't disappoint. The half time show was full of glitz and glamour and Gaga provided us with all her popular hits. I loved the bit of one nation under one God. But if she was trying to make a statement, I fully expected her to use the alternative name for God in other religions seeing as the Democrats are so opposing the President! but no, she loves to be correct and superb it was too. We all need to take steps in our lives and work towards goals and no matter how small the first step is huge for our personal self. F.E.A.R has two meanings: Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise.

Here are some lovely sweaters to keep you warm during these cold Winter days!

Saturday Poetry: The Tricky Circle

Happy Saturday!

A short poem for the weekend. Enjoy!

The Tricky Circle.

The art of listening, forced ! Wanes and tingles creep up the spine, tremors!
Subtle references, hollow voices, echoes loud.
Piercing shouts, screams, madness. Run away from it all, lost in blissful dreams.
Wishing awareness, suddenly could drown out the dripping tap. The water so loud in the stillness.
My beating heart still beats but rises, the rush, the tempo
Fulfill those dreams. You have a mission, don't let circumstance stop the motion of the train.
Those raised voices of life, drown out the rivers ever washing away my will to seek the future.
With two hands and change, the destiny of past.
Stars overhead make those wishes all mine. Fall so fast upon the head and brighten the horizon I look into.
I missed the whole decade gone by, losses, love, country, home, possessions but left is clothes utensils and three great smiles.
It's all I need to walk forward. Flowers bloom, the lotus my lifted heart.
The nightingale has left its cage.

Have an awesome day and keep smiling!

Love & Peace.

Thursday's Outfit Recommendation!

Happy Groundhog day!

And no, when he came out of his hole he was not detained by border patrol lol! This historic festival celebrated in the U.S. lets us know how long we have left for Spring to come. The legend goes if it's cloudy and dull Spring will be quick to come and if it's sunny, it's six long, cold weeks! So wherever you are, hope it was cloudy and dull.
Prince Harry was visiting the ambulance & fire service on behalf of the mental health charity and he spoke about how important it is to talk about how you're feeling and discuss it. A therapist suggested walking in a park among nature where it would be easier to open up. It was therapeutic. In all fairness, talking is a great help but not many people really want to hear anything or don't know how to react or behave and feel different towards you. People should learn to listen and most important is to be sympathetic. When you are feeling down and depressed, those people need a shoulder to lean on and a friendly ear. Always listen because people who are depressed, unhappy, anxious, they always want to talk and express their inner fears. It's the other people who need to be educated in how to reciprocate!

Today's outfit inspiration is for a winter's day. A stylish look, and staying warm.
