The Scent of Spring.

CATEGORY: Bath and Body Works, gifts, health and beauty, lotion, mom, product, products, scents, spring

I don’t claim to be a health and beauty guru – but I know what I like. Bath & Body Works products, though difficult to get here in the UK, have been my favourite choice for hand and body lotions since I was a teenager. I have favourite scents for Autumn (Spiced Pumpkin – yum!), […]
How we spent our Spring Break.

CATEGORY: Black Vein, burial ground, cemetery, dogs, doxies, Risca, South Wales, walkies

Jay and I spent most of our long weekend watching Babylon 5 but, on Easter Sunday, we bundled up the doggies (I can’t believe it’s SPRING and it’s still so cold!) and went for a long walk. We went to one of my favourite local places: The Old Burial Ground. Not as creepy as it […]

Meme of the Week

CATEGORY: Dr Who, hrc, justice, liberty, marriage, marriage equality, Meme of the Week, memes, supreme court

With marriage equality on the table in the Supreme Court, it was impossible for last week to pass without a million memes bursting into creation. My friends list was dominated by this image last week, a symbol for the support of marriage equality: Personally, I went for something that said the same thing but was […]
A Song for Sunday: Tokio Hotel – Pain of Love

CATEGORY: A Song for Sunday, music, music video, Pain of Love, song, Tokio Hotel, twitter, You Tube

This week I want to share a song that was a total surprise for me: “Pain of Love” by Tokio Hotel. I came across this song almost completely by accident. A friend shared this photo of the band’s lead singer, Bill Kaulitz on twitter and I was, naturally, intrigued. (Come on… Yum!) Even though that […]
The Week We Stayed In.

CATEGORY: marriage, relationships, staying in, vacation

Jay’s best friend took his family on vacation to Minehead this past week. That meant that Jay wouldn’t be going over to his house on Monday and Wednesday nights, like he normally would. We decided to take advantage of this and have a week “in.” I cancelled all my plans as well so we could […]
Red Power.

CATEGORY: beauty, hair colour, hair dye, hair style

I dyed my hair red a few months ago and LOVED it. Well, I say red… it was closer to orange. Like, Jimmy orange. And that was cool.(But an awful lot of work because we had to dye it three or four times to get the desired colour.) Awesome colour but totally high maintenance. Also, […]

The Mortal Instruments, Cassandra Clare

CATEGORY: bibliophile, books, Cassandra Clare, reading, The Mortal Instruments

When I first read The Mortal Instruments trilogy (as it was then) by Cassandra Clare, I thought it was the best Young Adult fiction I’d ever read. Since the movie’s coming out soon(ish), I decided it was time to go back and re-read them. Was it as good as I remembered? Better. This is still […]
Meme of the Week

CATEGORY: LOL, meme, Meme of the Week, word

There were more worthy pope inspired memes this week – like this – but I decided to go for something a little different in choosing this week’s Meme of the Week. For. Real. I wish I’d never listened to my parents when they constantly told me how fat I was as a teenager because – […]
