A Holiday Essential!

Okay, so summer holidays is coming up and maybe birthdays? Oh and don't forget results day!

I know an amazing yet perfect place to get something unique and most importantly PERSONALIZED!

Who loves personalised accessories?! I certainly do.

This is why I introduce you to VANITY SPARKLE bags (they do much other things too) they are simply sparklicious! I can't explain how amazing they are without showing you pictures but I will definitely try: I am currently saving up for a one big jupe bag to add to my quirky style, they are a very good price for amazing quality! It's just I always spend too much too soon, and with London and the V Festival coming up I'm running out of money.

But, that is why I am so desperate to show you these custom made bags either for holiday, when you go back to school, for a birthday present or mither your family to buy one for you for good results (whether they're good or not ;-) They are made with so much dedication and love+care. And they sparkle and most importantly they have YOU on the front! Not like a transferred photo but they create a cartoon of you to stick on the front!

  I can't emphasise how perfect these are so I'm just going to have to show you!

It is a serious must have for any season and put it this way - nobody can show up with a bag the same as yours! (That's the best part)

And for more check out:

You're never fully dressed without a Vanity Bag of Sparkle!

My absolute favourite!

CAL LIGHTMAN, PATRICK JANE & DR. SPENCER REID!

Lie to Me, The Mentalist and Criminal Minds

Just a small post to introduce my favourite crime shows with my favourite crime show men!

LIE TO ME

"Dr. Cal Lightman teaches a course in body language and makes an honest fortune exploiting it. He's employed by various public authorities in various investigations, doing more when the police etc. fail to go the extra mile. So he can afford to constitute a team of his own, which like clients and others has to put up with his mind-games." - IMBD, KGF VISSERS

Dr. Cal Lightman, a genius psychologist with an expertise in body language, predominantly microexpressions, and a founder of The Lightman Group, a private company that operates as an independent contractor to assist investigations of local and federal law enforcement through applied psychology. Though often confronted by people's skepticism, Lightman uses any psychological technique he deems necessary to reach the truth, however elaborate or confronting. He is divorced, and has shared custody of his teenage daughter.

THE MENTALIST

"A team of the Californian Bureau of Investigation (CBI) may officially be lead by haughty agent Lisbon. However, her mediocre intelligence and methods by the book are no match for 'mentalist' Patrick Jane. Formally, the ex-medium-hustler is just a police consultant. In fact the detectives soon learn to look to him for ever brilliant and surprising observations, deductions, ploys and traps. No criminal ever outsmarts Jane - except perhaps Red John, who unwillingly motivated Patrick to start fighting crime." - IMBD, KGF VISSERS 

Patrick Jane is a fictional character and the protagonist of the CBS crime drama The Mentalist, portrayed by Simon Baker. Jane is an independent consultant for a fictionalized version of the California Bureau of Investigation, and helps by giving advice and insight from his many years as a fake psychic medium. He uses his keen powers of observation, deduction, and knowledge of social engineering coupled with his genius to help lead the investigations.

CRIMINAL MINDS

"In this crime series, a crack team of FBI profilers fly from Quantico to the focal point of the criminal activity of various serial killers. There they investigate the evidence from the crime scenes, compose a profile and try to prevent the next fatal strike. Top brain was academic Jason Gideon who left the bureau after some difficult decisions. His more by-the-book operational right hand man Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner then took over the team. After Gideon leaves, David Rossi, previously retired, rejoins the bureau in an effort to make a difference in people's lives again and follow up on a case he worked years ago. The still juvenile Dr. Spencer Reid is an erudite on everything except real life, Penelope Garcia a brilliant computer whiz who gets access to any database etc. As they are mobile, cooperation with local police and FBI agents is important but often poses jurisdictional and other problems, as do some witnesses and suspects."  - IMBD, KGF VISSERS

Dr. Spencer Reid is a fictional character from the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds, portrayed by Matthew Gray Gubler. Reid is a genius with an IQ of 187 and can read 20,000 words per minute with an eidetic memory. He is the youngest member of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit who has 2 BAs and 3 PhDs, and specializes in statistics and geographic profiling.

Don't Be Afraid Of A New Start

It's the end of study leave and now I have returned to College - the only difference is I'm single and scared of talking to everybody and anybody.

Throughout my first year of college, I have spent a majority of my dinners, breaks and frees with my now ex boyfriend. Due to this, and previous High School events, I have struggled very much to make friends and become comfortable at college. Now at the moment, I am feeling even more uncomfortable as I don't have the boyfriend to keep me company.

My problem is I am afraid of any sort of rejection, I'm afraid of being told people don't like me, I'm afraid of being left out and most importantly I'm afraid of being hurt.

I promised my Mum that when I returned to college, I would message people to meet with them and it's my first day and I still opted to go to the Library instead of messaging genuine people who have already offered a lot of times. I'm spending dinner with my Nan because I'm afraid of spending dinner with people who may dislike me or not approve of me.

The aim of this post is to learn from my mistakes. You need more than one person to depend on in your life, you need your friends! If I started college about 3 years ago, I'd be smiling and happily making friends and just being myself. College is supposed to be a new start - don't let anything ruin your new start for you.

Remember, stay strong & keep smiling!

Dedication to Grandad Winder!

JUNE 15TH - FATHERS DAY

I always get nervous about Father's Day, I think part of it is because I haven't seen my dad since about maybe 2 or 3 years old ... I am now 17 almost 18- I feel like I'm hurting  his other family when I talk to him... But who I'm scared of hurting the most is my Grandad.

My Grandad has been there for me since I was born, he even claimed he wouldn't watch me being born but he ended up doing! He's been the one that I've needed, there to glare at potential boyfriends, there to help me with my hardest homework and most importantly there to tell you how it is. I have so much love for my Grandad, he is my world as are my Mum and my Nan. I know he's a man in my life that won't purposely hurt me or let me down. I don't think I've been closer to him than what I am like now.

Just want to thank my Grandad for the efforts and love he has put into bringing me up!
