Snow.

YAY. Although school's still been on, and the temperature has been around -10, it actually snowed; you know how everyone's all happy when it snows?
Anyway, it's stopped now and I'm ill, again, with a work experience interview at the end of the week. It's with local photographers, and they want to see some of my work and have an 'informal chat' (?). I'm going to show them the following eleven, what do you reckon? (click to enlarge)












♫ Alexis Jordan - Happiness.

Skyline.

Haaiiii.

So, today me and Mum spent some well needed "quality time" together... got the bus to the shops, had a mooch round, then went to the cinema to see Skyline. Whoa. I actually quite liked it... was like Independence Day and Cloverfield mixed together. I advise you to watch it.

Sat in the rain for ages waiting for the bus back, then got fish and chips and had a fatty half hour. Yay.

Failed completely at the Million Pound Drop, Jimmy Carr and Johnny Vaughan pissing me rightttt off. Haha.

Andd here's a random little webcam shot, not that great. Just don't ask.



♫ One Night Only - Say You Don't Want It.

TOO WINDY.

It's pretty obvious that winter's on it's way now: white fingers, a pink face and billowing hair. Also, it's 46 days until Christmas. Yay. XD

So, despite having the worst stomach ache humanly possible, today weren't all that bad. Although, it was extremely windy; the 'crew' had migrated down to a little corner section of the outside school wall at lunch, for a little shelter from the wind, but the wind turbine above created a whirlpool of leaves and litter. Would've preferred the wind to be honest, if everyone else was brave enough.

So, yeah... I 'walked' home facing the wind and in fact didn't really get very far at all. It was that windy.

Well that's all I have to say really, haha. Will blog at some point this week with new pictures: i promise.

♫ McFly ft. Taio Cruz - Shine A Light.

Nelly. :')

Cannot explain how much I'm in love with this song at the moment. ♥



Charlottee. x

♫ THIS!

Long time, no update. ;O

Hey hey hey. X3
I realise that I haven't actually posted in nearly four weeks, haha. Actually I've been off school for twelve days with tonsilitis, fever, asthma and infections. Yay me. All better now, though; people thought I'd died. Came into school on thursday to be greeted with: "OMG! She's alive!" bahaha. ;D

Yeaahhh, I'm hyper. ;P

So, spent the last month (agh!?) on the xbox, wii, stuffing my face with cheese and stuff. :) Went to London for the last weekend of half term after recovering from a painful week with cousins and babies and kids. Primark. Officially. Stinks. (Oooh, here comes the hate mail) :3

Think my dog has a cyst, or something, on her boob. :\ Not great. Oh, and I'm totally in love with Orlando Bloom. Ahhh. ♥



If that isn't mind-blowingly hot, then I don't know what is.

Charlottee. x

♫ Far East Movement ft. The Cataracs, Dev - Like A G6.

;3

Yeah uhm, I got bored so went beach with Mum, the dog and Dad (like, whoa... he never comes anywhere). Mum took her camera for some reason so here are some half decent photos of me and Missy, takin' a stroll in the sunshine. :)

♫ B.o.B ft. Rivers Cuomo - Magic.

Via mobile upload.

Boredom. That is a word commonly over-used nowadays, but right now no other adjective (?) seems appropriate, as I'm currently snuggled up in bed with a headache, stomach ache, sore throat etc. I've been at school for nearly four hours, suffering in silence, but I got sent home. Fun...

Obviously, there's no-one on facebook or msn so I'm stuck at home with Dad and the dog; oh the joy.

Anywho, I'm gunna go sleep. Byes :)

It's a working progress...

Well, I've just moved from my cold, awkwardly situated downstairs bedroom into one of the spare rooms upstairs, with a sea view and en-suite. As you can see, my stuff's kinda just been dumped anywhere really. My bookcase is crammed full of DVD's and books, my wardrobe so full of clothes that there's practically no air in there, and we've had to keep the old bunk bed in there for now which is just acting as a shelving place for all my many teddy's: Sigh... Hopefully it's getting decorated with all new furniture and stuff after Christmas (was thinking of a modular gloss wardrobe, beech wood furniture and a purple/white colour scheme). I think I can live with the tacky wallpaper, red floor and uncoordinated duvet for now.

Apologies; I was going to do a photo-shoot this weekend but with all the moving of belongings and stuff, and nowhere decent to shoot the photos, it'll have to wait until my room's sorted.

Toodles :)

♫ Alex Gaudino - I'm In Love.

HYPERRRRRRRR. ;3

Like, HELL YEAH am I ready for Winter! Bonfires, snow, Rockmime, Christmas, New Year. What's not to likee?

Hmm. I'm a "little" bit eccentric at the moment. X3 Spent all of biology having poke wars with my moobie mates (yes, moobies. moobs) and having giggle fits. No work done whatsoever. Soo worth it.

So, was planning on getting some good photos of myself this weekend: haven't got many since the haircut. Was thinking of maybe a professional looking mini photo-shoot involving me in my retrooo clothing, a plain white wall of some description; and a mirror. Yeah, I plan on shooting them myself.

On a totally unrelated note, I just got the highest ever Distinction grade for my Unit 1 Business Coursework. Sweeeeet.

Much Love, 'homiees'.

Charlottee. x

♫ Pendulum - Witchcraft.

But if looks could kill, then we all would be doomed...

I cannot tell you how much I am in love with this song. I bum this song. Like, anything with a good beat floats my boat. ;3

Charlottee. x

PS. This song is ten times better with decent headphones. ;D

A picture perfect sunset.

Random photo I took last night, of my local beach at sunset. ;3

Charlottee. x

As per usual...

My school is an actual crap bag. First, I get told off for make-up when I'm barely even wearing any, then get a detention because I explained that. Wtf.

Our ICT teacher keeps setting loads of coursework that we can't access, and we've been given two different work experience spreadsheets so I don't have a damn clue what it is I'm meant to be looking at. Pretty shit day overall to be honest, school, people, life in general.

Anyways, I'm working on a new website which I will mention another time, when it's finished; at the moment my editor isn't working properly.

Well, hope you's had a good day. :}

Charlottee. x

Whoo. Fuu-

Yeah; things are kinda getting out of hand. More problems. More bitching. Me thinks this is life from now on.

Anyhow, Summercourt Fair was amazing: went with my niece and met our mates there. I honestly forget how much fun people are. :)

Again, I have no particular subject to blog about so I shall leave you with these, some recent photos of myself with my newly cut & dyed hair, which I just found floating around my desktop. What you's think? :}

Summercourt Fair! ;)

Friday night was actually amazing! My niece, Shanon, invited me to go Summercourt Fair with her so after I decided what to wear, we went out (this was about 7.30). The whole site was just filled with "win a goldfish" stalls, donut vans, bright rides and dodgems. To be honest, I didn't even want to go: stuff like that isn't really my thing. But, I found out that one of my best mates was going with his mates, some of which just happened to friends with my niece. So we met them there, and went on this awesome ride which spun you up in the air and went upside-down etc; not once, but twice. I honestly thought I was going to throw up, but I didn't, so it's all good. The fair shut at 11pm, and us and the guys sat on a wall near the main road waiting for their bus. We got picked up and I practically collapsed on my bed.

On Saturday, my niece decided to go again, but this time with her mates, who are staying in my house for some reason. My house is stuffed full of students. Lawl.

Toy Story 3 today, then got coursework to do, then have to finish a mini projet I'm doing for Mum's work place. Busy few days me thinks.

Oops.

Ah. I seem to have failed at blogging everyday, like I aimed to. Oh well, haven't missed much; school's a drag. I'll update tomorrow, when I actually have something to blog about. :)

A fresh start.

So, yesterday I met up with the person with the problem which I wasn't meant to let them know that I know they had, if that makes any sense whatsoever. I just couldn't hold it back any longer, I was going to explode. So I told him and we spoke about it, and all isn't sorted but at least I'm not keeping secrets from him anymore. The crap weather matched my mood, but I'm happy no matter what we do, as long as I'm with him. Apparently he had a good day too so that's okay.
First day back at school today, lots of hugs and hello's. Not so keen on the one hundred minute lessons as I lose concentration after about ten minutes. Rained, but it's supposedly about to rain all week, so I better get used to that. Hairspray at the ready.

I'm broken.

Right now, I'm just so confused and nervous. The only thing stopping me from falling to pieces is my friends: they're my glue. I'm not sure how long this is going to last though, it's only temporary. Not everything can be fixed with glue.

♥

Ultimate sad song.

Oh, hello comfort food.

Wow, I don't think I've cried like this since primary. So, I have a situation. Well, It's not actually my problem; a mate has a pretty extreme problem, which isn't entirely their fault, and he failed to tell me, when we're apparently 'close'. Someone they know briefly told me a while ago, but I thought they were just pissin' about with me. Well, I just got told the full story from their mate, it all makes sense. I can't even let them know that I know. I'm furious; but I can't "give them any hassle", because they need "support from their friends". The whole thing shouldn't bother me, and it's true, I should just be nice. But it's so hard when, their problems affect you too.
I guess, you didn't need to know that but, I write my emotions rather then let them out physically... stuff gets damaged that way.
I don't know what to do.

You just kill me, could you at least do that?

You probably won't get this, but it's part of my favourite song at the moment; Swedish House Mafia ft. Pharrell-One (Your Name).
"You just kill me, could you at least do that? I wanna know your name. Or better yet, stand there, just do that."
Yeah, I really do have nothing better to do.

I love Briony! ♥

Briony is the greatest girl i know; I've had such a fun day. It pretty much consisted of sunbathing, stuffing our faces with chips and ice cream, and taking photos. I love her to bits. Best mate; forever. ♥
Highlight of the day had to be when one of two guys (who had been staring at us for the past couple of hours) followed us across the beach, whipped his phone out and said: "Hi, my friend's shy so can he have your number?". Okay so, this guy had nice abs, but all his ribs were poking out and then he smiled to reveal a mouthful of huge wonky yellows. My reply was "Uh, no it's okay".
Good times.

I love being childish.

Yesterday, Mum took me and Nathan to some "adveture park" about 12 miles away, in the middle of nowhere. Surprisingly, it was very fun; Nathan found some friends and we all played tig in the play area (ahaha), we all got drenched on the log flume, i couldn't master the art of swinging like Tarzan on a rope, and bashed my knees on a drop slide coming down head first. Ah well, we had fun.
Going down the beach with my best mate Briony today, haven't seen her all summer and desperately need a tan. Lol.

Sudden Realisation: Why it's good to get up and do something for once.

Finally, got to see my two BFAM's (Brother From Another Mother) for the first time in a few months, and discovered how much better the day is with them. I met BFAM #1- who is actually an ex boyfriend- first, and we chilled on the beach. He's so sweet and cuddly. :)
Anyways, when BFAM #1 went to a football session, I met BFAM #2 (who I've known for the longest) and his lanky friend on the beach. We'll call his lanky friend "Skin'ead", as he shaved all his hair off..? :)
Again, we all just chilled on the beach and BFAM #2 gave me a piggyback across the river so I didn't get my feet wet; aw shucks. At 8pm when it got kinda dark and cold, we sat in a hole dug out in the sand like hobos, snuggling up to Andy because he's surprisingly warm.
So, BFAM #2 and Skin'ead left and I went home and had a hot chocolate. Just when it seemed like nothing could ruin this perfect day, I get on the laptop and two of my mates have had a fall out and blah blah blah. I try to sort things out and I just get a load of shit so yeah, a pretty crap ending to the best day of my summer. So far.
Much love. x

Yet another nothingness day.

You guessed it. It's 20°C out there but I barely stepped outside the door, although to be honest I just don't feel like going out recently. It's a week 'til school, I'm not looking forward to it at all and I've spent the last three weeks doing absolutely nothing. I better make the most of this week, before I decompose on the sofa.

Routines.

Well, I've noticed a lot of people doing this lately, so here's details of what products I use etc.
Hair;
As my style is meant to be big and "poofy", it takes a lot of time and effort to keep it looking like that, but it's worth it.
#1. I start with TRESemmé Heat Defence Styling Spray before straightening and blow drying. It makes a really big difference to your hair; reducing frizz and keeping it smooth and shiny.
#2. After spending at least thirty minutes turning my wavy hair straight, I flip my head upside down, brush and spray with Boot's Firm Hold Hairspray. Any hairspray will do and I don't see a difference between top brand sprays and shop own make so I go for a cheap option that does the job. Flip your head up again and you can already see that your hair has that added oomph already. Sometimes I need to flatten my fringe and spray that in place as well.
#3. Rub a little VO5 Soft Moulding Wax into your palms and fingertips, and begin clutching at the roots of your hair to bring it up and keep it there. As VO5 specialise in waxes and gels, this particular hair wax is one you can trust. Spray your hair again to keep the volume.
Make Up;
I do all my make up in a particular order, as I'm quite messy with my mascara etc. You don't have to follow the instructions in this order if preferred.
#1. I start with the eyes, and because I always end up with mascara all over my eyelids, I begin with that. Maybelline New York Colossal Volum' is probably the best mascara I've ever bought; with enough coats, you can look like you're wearing false lashes.
#2. A thin line of liquid eyeliner along your upper lash line will add emphasis, and my favourite is Rimmel London Glam'Eyes Liquid Liner. The product isn't too thick and the brush is smooth (some are brissly and itch when applying). If you want to add a flick, then you can.
#3. I cannot live without pencil eyeliner, and the one I use is Rimmel London Eye Liner Pencil in Soft Kohl. It never ever smudges and is so prominent that you only need to use a few coats. Also, it's not dry and flakey and lasts a hell of a long time. I put this along my bottom lashes.
#4. Eyeshadow. I don't bother to buy branded eyeshadows as I use too many colours and they're too expensive, so I just pick a colour that matches my outfit from my cheap eyeshadow palette, and apply all over my eyelid, smudging it up to just under my eyebrows.
#5. Before making my face look flawless, I find that a decent moisturiser stops foundation and concealer going dry, so I apply Olay Beauty Fluid all over my face. This may sound like a Granny moisturiser, and maybe it is, but it just works so well and feels really refreshing when put on that it doesn't matter. Apparently, a bottle is sold every three seconds. Can't be that bad.
#6. After the moisturiser has 'soaked in', I find it best to apply the concealer before the foundation. The one I use is 17 Hide Away Concealer Cream which comes in a lipgloss tube with a wand for easier application and precision. I dab this in my problem areas where my skin is slightly pink instead of beige, those areas being my chin, under eyes, upper cheeks and nose. Once rubbed in, it blends in to your natural skin tone really well.
#7. My favourite ever product is my foundation: Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse. It's a cream instead of a powder, so is applied easier. This covers up everything- spots, blemishes, uneven skin, freckles...
#8. I don't pay much attention to my lips, but when I do it's just some cheapy lipgloss. At the moment I use ColourWorks Lipgloss in Peach.

Back to school shopping.

There is no word to describe how much I hate school shopping. No-one has what you want, and if they do then it's only the fat sizes left. Anyhow I'm left with my stuff from last year for now.
Got some more skinny jeans and some hair wax though, so all is good. :)
I'm in love with Smallville, probably just because of Superman but hey.

A child at heart.

After seven hours at a kiddie's theme park I discovered that maybe water slides, drop slides and roundabouts aren't that bad after all. ;D
Aside from annoying, stumbling little children all over the place, me and my nephew had a good time messing around, being stupid. I've eaten way to much fudge, but was worth it I suppose; except I'm meeting someone tomorrow and am probably going to look like Mr Blobby. Ah well.
I would go into all the boring details of my day, but I got up really early (I never even knew that an 8 o' clock in the morning existed) and have a mega headache from the screaming kids.
Toodles. ♥

Scenee.

Finally, a haircut! I'm actually really pleased with it, the hairdresser done exactly what I wanted and although it's a bummer to straighten, I knew it would be like that. I was influenced by Brookelle Bones to get scene hair; a sweepy side fringe and layers. As my hair isn't as long as Brookelle's, I got to keep the length, and now I just have to see what happens when I tease it. Below is a photo I took yesterday. I'm not keen on the picture but others seem to like it and it's the only one I've got so, brace yourselves. x

Behold, Dumbo Dog.

Those of you who followed my previous blog will know about my basset hound puppy that I've had for about three months now. I finally got round to getting some pictures of her so here they are. :)

Welcome to "Purple Custard Mark Deux".
The original Purple Custard got old, and tacky, so I'm back to bring you a second blog which will hopefully be more of a success. Fyi, blogging is not my speciality and I try not blabber on too much but that's just my personality. I hope you enjoy what you read, though it's not that exciting to be honest.
Much love. :) x
