Text box- destiny is

Destiny is for losers. It's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen. - Miss Blair Waldorf

Had a day off work today so I went to the Sandringham Flower show with my mum and sister (well she went off with her friends for a bit).

Everyone waiting to see Camilla and Prince Charles, we never got to see them cause being short meant I couldn't see so we gave up in the end.

But it was a very nice day out, apart from the weather that everyone thought would be hot, was actually dark and kinda nippy! But we were English and ignored it, probably cause we're used to it. There were lots of things there, like a fudge stool :D and a frozen yoghurt stool (: and clothing ones with hats, and scarves and things like that, and far too many plant ones, and bags, like rafata ones, i brought one last year, it's hot pink with a black sort of fringing around the top and the handles are black and hot pink. Not that i'm ever going to take it anywhere but it just looks kinda pretty!

This was a stall with lots of really good smelling handmade soap! I was gonna get some cause they all looked so pretty. There's lots of hair things and stuff like that, all arts and crafts.
They also had this stall! which was so cool! I'm not sure how they did it but they had lots of other animals and they were all made out of moss and things like that, I imagine they just had a wired frame and sort of weaved it in and out but either way it was nice to see and a bit different.
They also had displays too! such as aeroplanes and horses, and show dogs and such things, oh and motorcross? not sure how that worked it's way into the whole country flowery scene, but I wasn't complaining. And they had a garden award, where you get a little sort of plot, and you make a garden in it and they judge it and then you get awards etc. the one below was a picture of a garden that was themed on the beach and was done really well! made me want to go to the beach. (:




This one was inspired by colors etc, and I just thought it was really cool and interesting, and was a bit different than the normal gardens do. A very fun twist!


The 2 photo's above were done by the army and was inspired I think if I remember correctly about an urban jungle, so obviously there's the phone box's etc. and I thought it was good how the plantation was done.



This one was inspired by the secret garden, and I thought the idea was a really cute idea.

This one was inspired by culture etc, and I thought it was really effective how the statue was reflected in the mirror.

they also have lots of bands play such as the military ones i.e. army, and they have some of the local school ones play too, so I took some video's for you all but they won't upload at the moment so I'll try a bit later.

So I've had a very good day today! (: Hope everyone else did and I'll be putting pictures up later (now is the later)(:

My involuntary internet detox! (With my family… help?!)



Just saw this post – http://courtneygillette.wordpress.com/2010/07/26/get-off-the-internet-my-one-week-detox/

and realised, I’m doing that… but un willingly. I agreed to go on holiday with my family to a cottage in Devon for a week…. and can’t take my falling apart laptop as there will be no internet access…Sugar…..

Now she poses some good questions…

What if someone important does e-mail you?

what about the internet banking?

What if Lady gaga does release a new video? I am a very big fan of her video’s and hate being out of the loop!

And I’m a bit of a facebook addict too!

and how will I check the weather so I know what to wear?!

I just wasn’t cut out for that! I’m one of the most technology savy people you could meet! But I can’t get internet on my phone, I pay through the ROOF for it! and since I will probably have to text/ring abroad already…. I’m dead! I don’t know how I’m going to survive! I have to come up with a plan! I’m just not sure what! I might cry! 7 days, stuck in a cottage, somewhere I don’t know… with my family… NIGHTMARE! And we’re driving up… so HOURS spent in the car! and how am I going to charge my HelloKitty mp3 ): Ohhhh this is getting worse!

Okay… Plan time:

-Find way to charge hellokitty mp3

- find way to have some access to internet

-find some way to not go on the holiday and stay home where you can charge your mp3 and have internet access 24/7?

HELPPPPP!

The Pretty Reckless!!!



So I Loveeeeeee! The Pretty Reckless! the one with Taylor Momsen in, from gossip girl, she plays jenny humphrey (which I am also in love with) and I’ve tried using Limewire to download the songs for free only to get the live ones, well most of them anyway. So I’ve decided to wait till the album comes out, but don’t you hate that when you have to wait ><
So I just checked HMV again, after going into the official forum for TPR and now they have it under “coming soon” which is brilliant! since before they didn’t have it on there at all!
I also yesterday found the official Vevo chanel for them, and they had a song on their that I didn’t know! so I downloaded it, and it’s really good. But I’m going to put the music video below cause I think it’s a really good one, reminded me of one Evanescence did ages ago. It’s pretty good so I recommend it indefinetly!


She always has really nice hair, has anyone figured out how to get their hair wavy like that? It’d be really cool if someone could tell me, and I’d make a Youtube Video and put it up here for those who are more visual learners. She always has nice shoes too! I definitely this autumn want some shoes like hers, definitely.

They always dress her really well in Gossip Girl, it’s a nice change to see her dressed up a little more clothes wise. And I Loved the shoes they put on her in this picture and the coat, she looks really snug and warm but still has her edgy style mixed in with what they’ve given her, which is nice too, that they would keep her edginess. I can’t wait for Gossip Girl to come back on,I’m afraid when it does there will be lots of posts about it!

What to do...

Boyfriend is playing poker… so what to do?
I could do some advertising for my online shop – http://www.etsy.com/shop/thefaithboutique
orrr I could do some coursework….
Or I could read the books I got
Or I could watch a film
Or I could find some recipes and stuff so that I can start making a list of the things I’m going to need in order to do the new corner in Etsy
But I simply can’t be bothered, I want a lazy day, I’m just not sure doing what. But the list thing does seem to be the best idea I think, but it’s still bugging me not knowing what to do, and it’s half 9 at night to, which means I shouldn’t start anything noisy or that could take hours to do. So I guess I’ll start the stuff that I listed, but I really can’t be bothered.

10 Things to do this Summer!

Went swimming with Miss Christina Owens today and had a REALLY good time! So We’re going again tomorrow! I’ve also gotten lots done today including some work for some pre-paid stuff! I also just thought I would make a list of the top 10 things I want to do this summer!

1) go camping

2) spend the day at the beach

3) Bike to sandringham

4) have a BBQ

5) go shopping

6) go somewhere outside of Kings Lynn and have a day out.. without shopping!

7) grow out my layers!

8)get a manicure

9) earn lots of money aside from work and pocket money. min. £50.

10) Make my Autumn collection for Etsy over the 6 weeks and find some vintage pieces to sell too!

That’s gonna be hard for me to achieve all of those things but hopefully it will go well! And I’ll keep you updated about them all!

xoxo


I’m having quite a productive day at the moment, just thought I’d let everyone know. I’ve done some work that I was pre-paid to do for someone, and I’ve relisted there items on Etsy too. and I’m going to upload they’re video soon, so I’ll show you that once I do (:

And I’m also going to try to learn some of my driving theory tonight in time for my driving lesson tomorrow! I REALLY need to get around to passing all my tests and that, since it would probably help.

Also I forgot to tell you earlier, I’ve let my sister plait all my hair after I washed it cause of the chlorine, and I have to sleep like it all night, which is really annoying since it’s making me hot. But I really wanted wavy hair (: If it turns out nice I think I might take a picture to show you all, but I’m doubting that it will but never mind! (UPDATE:...Crimped was in in the 80's wasn't it?)
