The Fairytale Wedding

It's taken me a while to realise I should have written a blog post about this. The wedding of the century: Prince William weds his sweetheart Catherine Middleton on 29/04/2011.





I don't know about you but when I first heard about the wedding I was happy for Wills. It's so nice to see a young couple in love, the last thing on my mind was my tax money (I'll come back to that later). When I heard we'd be getting a day off work I was even happier. Nothing beats an extra long weekend :-)

On the morning of the wedding I couldn't sleep, I was that excited. Anyone would have thought I was attending the wedding myself. Of course the fact the wedding was broadcast on tv, you really did feel like a part of the day anyway.

I have to say, I did feel rather choked watching the wedding and I think it was because I could feel the love between them. So many celebrities and people in the public eye claim to love one another (Katie Price claims to love everyone) but how many of them really do? How many of them are with their partners for their own personal gain? With Wills and Kate you could really see that they meant every vow they said and they were so aware and attentive to one another. Kate looked gorgeous, her dress was stunning and Wills had no problem telling his girl she looked beautiful.

I know so many people who said they weren't going to get sucked in to watching the wedding but then couldn't keep away and every single one of them were moved by it. Obviously you had the scrooges who moaned about the fact their tax money was being spent on the wedding. Bah humbug. The way I see it is this; once your tax money is gone it's gone. Your tax money is currently being spent on so many things you probably don't agree with but we don't get a say about where the money goes. Why complain? You can't do anything about it. Why not sit down, hush up, watch the wedding or don't that's your choice and enjoy your day off?!

I was surprised to see so many street parties around my area. There was even a Caribbean BBQ, complete with reggae music and British flags. It was lovely to see so many happy faces for a change.





I wish the now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, every happiness and I hope the media leave them alone to enjoy their marriage and life together.

Dining Table Heaven!!

My absolute favourite piece of furniture at the moment is my custom made dining table. I’ve talked about getting a dining table for about three years and last year I finally got this beauty. Massive thank you to Blacker and Oak who custom made this for me. Check them out on Instagram (link below) and Etsy (search Blacker and Oak).  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/blackerandoak

Yes I keep up with the Kardashians and no I’m not ashamed!!

I’m going to make a bold statement! Are you ready...? I love Keeping up with the Kardashians!!!   Honestly I do and I’ve found over the years that many people share my healthy obsession with the family but like me, they kind of keep it under wraps. I’ve also found that people who don’t like the Kardashians, think it’s okay to belittle those of us who do but I’m sorry that’s just not kool (see what I did there 😉).  Why do you love the Kardashians I hear you cry. Well personally I work in a very tense environment and to be honest, before I started my current job 6 years ago, I had never even watched the Kardashians. One of my peers was totally in to Kim K and the rest of the family and because of her, I thought I’d have a little watch and you know what....I’ve never looked back.  If you’re highly stressed about something or work in an intense environment like myself, sometimes you just need a break and that break can take many forms. Reading, meditating, writing, working out, watching t

I looked up on the tube this morning and all of a sudden panic struck.  OMG I forgot to put on my eyeliner!!!  It's so weird I use to be scared to wear the stuff in case I stabbed myself in the eye with it (I have a fear of eyes - don't ask lol) and now I can't live without it!!!  I suppose this has highlighted one of my insecurities. I can't go out without my eyeliner.  It's an extension of me but it shouldn't be.  I should be able to wander the streets of London completely fresh faced.  Maybe one day, when I'm 80 :-) x
