Ten things rocking my world

Thats right, just a  quick update to tell you about ten things rocking my world right now! I'm trying to be more positive as a person and open myself up to new experiences so!!!
1) I spent far too much money yet now own burgundy Converse, an oversized orange jumper and a little blue skirt.. I COULD LOOK LIKE AMELIA POND IN 5 MINS. (Also, wait for my next haul post.... it's mega!)
2) I Have wonderful friends right now. After a good life clear out it's always nice to revaluate friendships, and realise just how many you have!
3) The Boyf/Bae/SillyMan/Cuddlemonster... and i'm sure he will appreciate reading that. You rock baby!
4) SWEET POTATO... PUMPKIN.....AUTUMNAL FOODS! I love autumn, especially the foods that become available.
5) Possibility of working for Wild Packs next summer... (again... wait for the blog post!)
6) Biting of Nails has decreased! Although weak as hell, my nails are slowly getting there, my biting has almost stop... unless I get a cheeky grabby bit...
7) Christmas! It's getting closer... I'm excited... let me get my tinsel out and sparkle up all of your lives!
8) Uni Work! Despite a slight panic attack the middle of last week, I have a renewed love fr my subject and I am going to smash it this year! I can just feel it!
9) Cooking! I swear I should write down some of my recipes because they are so freaking good I love cooking, I love tasting and quite frankly its such a massive stress reliever for me!
10) The Office US. Because I still love it.... And yet I have watched series 1-7 a billion times (love you netflix....)
MORE UPDATES SOON!

Why the Internet is potentially a dangerous thing

I like the internet, its expressive, weirdly wonderful and can sustain boredom no matter where you are around the globe. But it is useless thinking this could relate to a better kind of human being. I try to remain reserved in my opinions of news articles (specifically on the web), however some artless go a bit too far. 

Return of Kings, 2014


THIS came up on my news feed this morning on Facebook after one of my friends shared it in outrage that it even exists. And I agree. 

An eating disorder is not something to laugh at, it is not something to use against another human being, it most definitely is not a defining factor of a relationship and if you agree with anything that article says then you most definitely deserve to rot. 

I have had friends with eating disorders, luckily enough I have never suffered from the illness myself.  However this article makes my skin crawl. One of the '5 reasons' is suggesting that when a woman is feeling vulnerable THAT IS A GOOD THING. 

I can't even outline how pissed this article made me. With all of the positive response after Emma Watsons #HeforShe campaign, I'd have thought the waves of feminism was defining a new chapter for the human race. However this article has only proved to me how wrong I am. 

Finally, the last defining part of this article is the other publications this author has covered...
Many of those publications are all for the gender equality, so why they have supported this mysogynistic arse is beyond me... and possible something that needs to be addressed? 

Not only this article, but Return of King's seems to be an amalgamation of high and mighty men who still believe women are beneath them? I can only hope this website is made of satirical (yet still badly written) content however some of these articles have me second guessing myself... 

And my personal favourite and an article I have already mentioned...

What scares me is the heaps of comments of people who agree with this, men from around the world seem to be using these misleading and bollock's filled articles to support casual sexism. 

Spread this blog post, around the internet and make these people realise that what they are publicising is wrong! This needs attention as quite frankly these articles are no different to a hate crime in my eyes!

Happy Health!

Hello everyone! Sorry about the lack of writing on this blog at the moment, however I have been quite busy but in the best possible way!

I've lost albs which to me is a mega achievement because i very very very rarely lose weight whenever I try any change of lifestyle... however I have found one.

Juice plus has been superbly helpful to me, it helped me start up my new lifestyle into healthy eating, and genuinely made me more energetic & feel better! I work a 9-5 5 days a week job so finding a suitable lifestyle changer like this which i can fit around my working life is a life saver!

Its all very simple, I wake up in the morning, have a bowl of my own made clean granola, a chocolate  shake mixed with strawberries & a pint of water! At lunch, Another shake with some fruit with (full fat) greek yoghurt then at dinner whatever meal i like, They call them 'clean meals' but some of the meals I have made have been superb even though they are considered clean!

People are sceptical about 'diets' but i really haven't used this as a diet, i've used it to make my life easier, because i don't always have time to prepare myself a huge lunch! and i prepare all my dinners for the week on a sunday!

I have seen so many amazing changes now I am not only part of the distributor team but also a user of the product, people loosing albs a week by merely detoxing and then moving forward with a healthier and better lifestyle!

if you want to know about the payment for Juice Plus then I am a distributor!  please get in contact by email! georgiamae@me.com to find out more everyone!!!!

Change

Hello Hello Hello!

It's been a while since I last updated, and hopefully this post will do it's best to explain why i've been quite so'tardy to the party' (cheers RHOBH!!!!).

Since I last blogged, I let you all know that I was staying at the OH's which is still true, going lovely and all that jazz. He puts up with my grumps & I put up with his distinctive piggish behaviour on occasion.

However there have been a few changes! My cousin Samantha Birch (T: @sambirchwriter) has released a book! The High Street Bridge's Guide is an absolute little cracker. Although I'm not planning on getting married any time soon being at the ripe old age of nineteen, non-biased family relative aside this is a really good read, It 'flows' as such and isn't completely overwhelming unlike other wedding guide literature often is.

I've also become a member or the JuicePlus+ gang! That's right, I've sold out & put myself on a surprisingly alright diet! For those of you who are unaware, The Juiceplus craze is sweeping the country with people signing up with a desperate bid to lose weight! It can be taken in several different formats (chewable tablets or shakes as the most common) and I chose the Shakes!
Before you start the actual shakes, you need to take a ten day detox, which is something I really struggled with, however once the shakes arrived it wasn't too bad. You drink two shakes a day and then one 'clean' meal in the evening.

I have quite a busy schedule, and unsociable eating hours at my workplace, however the shakes are filling and do make me feel full for a few hours before my nice healthy dinner. In terms of effect, I haven't noticed a considerable weight loss yet, hover I have noticed a few inches coming off my waist and my stomach isn't as bloated any more!

It's a bit dear, at £32.50 a month for 4 months or a one of payment but I can't complain, it's helping me make some better choices and I feel better in myself!.

I have entered a competition! Wateraid are looking for a blogger at Glastonbury this year! It's a long shot, where all I had to make was a quick 15 second instagram vid, however I'd love it if you guys would check it out, 5 people will be shortlisted with the fifth being voted in by the amount of views it receives on the internet! thats you lovely people!

Fourth and final change is that I am looking for a new job! The sad moment has finally happened where I am sick and tired of my life at the pub and all the  hassle that comes with it.  So I'm trying to find a small summer job to last me until August, a few hours a week and nice and easy.

SO.

That is the change occurring in my life at the moment! I'll try and get back to regular blogging :)

HAIR; a 2014 revolution.

It's mad when I think about how much my hair reflects my personality. If i'm feeling blue and quit frankly a bit shit, I keep it scraped up in a hideous top knot which i then hide under a hat. This is then shortly followed by the next stage which is crazy lion hair mode, my OH says it's adorable, but quite frankly i know i look like a total fruit loop!
Then there is my work hair, tied up, neat, often put in a certain way (fringe out of my way biaaaatch!) so that I can work hard without getting flustered by hair.
Finally, my sculpted curly hair, due to my own hair thickness, I fidn it extremely difficult to fully curl my hair, half the time non heat methods work better than narrow curlers, however it does hold it's volume well & matched with smokey eyes and red lips I can pull myself off as a bit of a knockout.

However, my hair colour changes haven't been as vast or wild as all of my friends. My natural colour is a very very dark chestnut brown. Honestly, I miss it so much sometimes. However as I got older, I began craving the blonde attitude so after 3 hefty expenditures on highlight, SHAZAM. I was a blonde goddess (pfft.).

This lasted until I disappeared off to University, I got bored on a weekend alone and dyed my hair bright red, sorry it was two years after the rhianna red craze, and I loved my red hair, just not the upkeep that comes with it. No matter what trick of the trade or highstreet shampoo and enhancing conditioner I bought, nothing is nice about being a faded organutan orange.

Which leads me onto now.
I am in a happy place (finally) in my life, and this has been reflected in my hair. I've tortured it with bleach and toner for the last two months and finally, one nice and easy kit later (honey ash blonde if you must know) I am back to being a golden goddess. At least... thats what I tell myself.

I've been through hell and back emotionally and physically in the last few years, but now I'm happy. I have a lovely man, a lovely group of friends, a lovely bank balance and FINALLY lovely hair.

This has been utterly pointless, I PROMISE I WILL CREATE SOMETHING OF VALUE SOON. :)

My boycott of Pizza Hut.

hello hello hello everyone!

I'm sorry, I've been gone quite a while but I've had possibly the busiest two weeks of my life! Being back at University is one of those things, suddenly everything is happening at once and I've been left a bit flustered!
However, I'll try and narrow it down a little bit!

My flat mate broke her arm, the poor thing! another drunken night where she was picked up, dropped and fractured her radius in the process, daft woman! I forgot how much A & E freaks me out! However moving forwards I was lucky enough to get a chance to see Les Miserables in the West End on Wednesday!
It was superb i have never felt so alive after leaving a theatre, the musical was amazing and I must admit, despite my concerns Carrie Fletcher was utterly magnificent as Eponine, she was beautiful and perfect and I couldn't flaw one single thing about her!

After leaving the theatre, my two flatmates and myself decided on going to pizza hut as a treat after being so good in healthy eating habits for 2 weeks! We arrived, were left waiting for 15 minutes before finally being seated. Once we were seated we had a table of 5 put on a table of four next to us, meaning one of the gentlemen was practically sat on my lap! My mood began to sink fairly quickly.
After 20 minutes waiting, my friend finally asked if we could have our food and drink order taken
(time is currently at 45 minutes, not even received a drink) the girl then preceded to tell me that she can't take order.

-pause-

I understand what it is like on a busy shift in a restaurant, my job is as a waitress, what i don't understand is how someone can be so rude and disregarding of your feelings as a paying guest within the establishment. It made me angrier.

-play-

finally 10 minutes after she said she had gone to get someone to take our order, the grumpiest man on the planet took our order and left, hopefully putting it through. May I add that at this stage, the table next to us ordered their meal ten minutes after us, therefore; why on earth did they receive their starter before us?
We waited another 10 minutes before finally having enough and walking out. I was raging by this point and wanted to kill someone!

I intend to pay good money when i go into any food establishment, what i don't expect is to be treated like i'm invisible, even if it is busy!

Rant over guys!
