Nail art fun

Hey kittens,

It is fun to play with nail polishes.


I felt like a kid again with my multi-coloured nails. Stick to pastels for a summery effect.

For this I originally painted my nails a raspberry colour. After a few days and few chips I updated it by adding a pink and orange to pattern and decorate my nails.

Give it a go!

Job ch-ch-ch-changes

Working at the Salamander has been horrible for a while now for a variety of reasons. But I have two interviews coming up for shops, which I'm very excited about. Fingers crossed that someone hires me and I get to talk about the things I like all day instead of beers. Pretty please?

Childish fun

Having returned home to Northampton I just HAD to see Luke, my nephew, a.k.a. the cutest kid alive.


We had a fabulous time. I gave him a flower which he cuddled, we made devil's food cake, pulled faces and played hide and seek. It was wonderfully childish and fun, and he is so infectiously happy that it's hard to be worried about things.



There is no better way to de-stress in this world, than to spend the day with a 3 year old.

If I had to try and explain...

What does depression feel like?

Like there is a hole in my chest. Like a constant ache of loneliness and bitterness. Like you're sat inside on a rainy day whilst everyone is outside playing in the sun. It is emptiness, it is nothingness, it is all-consuming misery.

Home

My suburban four-bedroom house is still as cosy as it ever was. My cats still lounge around lazily, my Dad still splays out on the sofa watching Top Gear and the whole place could use a hoover. But that is what I love about home, it's homeliness. I grew up here, I outgrew here and now I'm back feeling nostalgic here.
