Wreck This! update

So I mentioned my 'Wreck This Journal' a while ago. I have had chance to add a little more to the pages of this super fun book.

take a look:

I havent finished the sewing page yet but I thought I would make a border and think about the contents later (still being too cautious instead of spontaneous with it).
I get loads of stamps because I live away from family my mum and grandma send me notes all the time <3
And I used watercolour pencils for the lines because it makes pretty rainbow smudges :)

Im going to try and get my sister to take pictures of her journal it would be nice to see what she has done with hers.

I love bags, if I had lots of money I would buy hundreds. As it is I don't have lots of money so I tend to get one bag and use it until it falls apart.
River Island is where I usually go becuase they are reliable and fashionable but a little bit quirky but if I could I would have one or ALL of these:

The Mulberry Alexa my queen of bags

Lulu Guiness lips clutch (probably in fuschia snakeskin but if we're dreaming why not one in every colour)
Photobucket

Modalu Pippa again not sure exactly what colour I'd go for there are so many lush shades available
Photobucket

What would your dream bag be?

And while we are on the subject of things I want here is a list of more affordable wishes:

Blusher - benefit/Top - motel rocks/Dress - miss selfridge/Bag - bag that style-ebay

Its my birthday on the 24th maybe I will be lucky ;)

So firstly my Graze box arrived and this is what I got:

http://graze.com/b/xtzd3 this link will show the items in detail.

The korean chilli rice crackers were AMAZING.

Im not a fan of banana or olives but Ben loves them so I thought its only fair I don't cross them off the list and let him have some things he likes as well.

You get a little leaflet with the nutritional info calorie count etc and also some vouchers to give to friends for a free box. I can't wait to send one to my sister she will love it!

The best thing about the graze box...it fit through my letterbox! So if I hadn't been in I would have still recieved my yummy foods and not a pesky red slip to collect from the post office. BONUS!

I also got the top I ordered from RogueRetro on etsy

Its a floral haiwaiin crop top with a cute knot in the front I LOVE IT!

Rogue Retro is a great shop check it out:

VICTORY! ...rolls

I am currently quite pleased with myself after managing my first sucessful victory rolls!

I have often tried in vain with much frustration. They could be a LOT neater but nevermind practise makes perfect!

Cringey photo so just focus on the hair.
Photobucket

If I was actually going somewhere I would probably curl the ends of my hair as well.

I have a lot of whispy 'baby hair' around my fringe area any ideas how to grow? tame? style? it?

If you are interested in vintage hairstyles here was my last attempt I posted

http://domesticblogess.blogspot.com/2011/03/1940s-hairstyle.html

(I don't know whats worse on that post the different cringey face I'm pulling or the fact I have the same cardi on, you may have noticed, I'm not cool)

and if you would like me to try some more hairstyles and post them let me know!

Why I love terrapins :]

I thought I would post some more pictures of my terrapins to show you.


They are a little blurry , the lighting in my bedroom is rubbish and terrapins dont stop moving really to pose for photographs!
PhotobucketPhotobucket
If these pictures weren't enough here are some other reasons:

1. they have personalities.
2. they are histerical (watch them swimming against the filter stream, also they sometimes try to climb out the tank but their arms are just a fraction too small and they plop back into the water hehe).
3.they like to have a little stretch on their rock every now and then.
4. they paddle like mad against the tank when you walk in the room (probably to get food) but I like to think its because they are pleased to see me!
5.When they are scared they pop arms legs and head inside their shell just like in cartoons.

when you look at the tank from the corner it refracts and makes it look like we have 4 sometimes!

Shelby has spots on his belly/undershell Terrance does not. They are about 4years old we think, a friend gave them to us becuase they didnt have room for them anymore.

best decision I ever made!

I saw the advert on tv and thought I should give it a try, lots of people review beauty boxes on their blogs but I much prefer food!
