Fail

If I wouldn't fail and could actually do either of these things then...


I would be a professional ballet dancer or...


become a top olympic athlete!

Yeah... a girl can dream right?

On the subject of dreams I am half way to the land of nod right now so just a breif post to keep up with the insight challenge. Hope everyone has had a good start to the week and are looking forward to Autumn as much as me! Scarfs and beautiful coloured leafs :) Eeee!

Memories


Ick! Feeeet! Is it just me or are they just quite a creepy body part? I don't like anyones feet... even my own scare me a little. Anyway! Those are my new pom pom slippers that are insanely comfy and it feels nice to have something other than trainers on for a change.

My point for showing off new slippers you ask! Well that would be for my earliest memory... when I was around four I received my first pair of ballet slippers for Christmas and I adored them so much so I wore them to bed and refused point blank to take them off. I still have those teeny tiny silk shoes in attic and sadly I never became a professional ballerina but I will always have a little place in my heart for ballet ♥

Random update: Yesterday my water bottle leaked all over my bag and soaked everything excluding my swimsuit. Thanks for that life! Tonight I am off to the pictures!

Love

Photographs & Bubbles


I attended my graduation and in true B style I was late and of course went to the wrong place to collect my gown. Oops a daisy. The ceremony was lovely but lets face it a bit of a bore for anyone else that has to go... all that clapping you have to do for people you don't even know! My hands were stinging by the end! Ouchies.






Last week I went home with cupcakes in hand for my Mothers Birthday! We spent a nice evening together and she loved her gifts (cake, bracelet, dvd and miniature compact). I enjoy spending time at home (Lanark) its like a little holiday and has excellent running routes.


The following day I ventured out in the stormy weather which by the way persisted all week! I got utterly drenched and my hair did that frizzy fizzy curly thing which is never a good look. 


On Sunday evening I went to visit my sister Chloe in Stirling. We watched Ps. I love you and chatted till 1 a.m we get on really well and it was good to rest up and spend time together. The next day we ventured out to the sold out screening of Toy Story 3!!!! I am such a child at heart as I was super excited about seeing this movie :) The cinema was jam packed and people nibble really loudly (is it just me that bothers?!). The film itself was fantastic and I shed one, two... okay lots of tears! I'm such a bubble baba. 





In other news well I haven't really got much to say except I am still struggling. My weight went down a little but enough to make swimming painful again. I love swimming but when I'm going a little bloo its not cool. I feel guilty for worrying people, scared for my health and in general just a worry head. I am fully aware about the steps I need to take but taking them seems like the impossible. I can wake up really motivated but once I've eaten guilt, anxiety and upset seeps in and my thoughts are consumed again. I make constant excuses and the idea of gaining the weight back I've lost terrifies me. I have let this illness define me which is not good nor clever and I'm having trouble just letting go. My mood is consistently on the decline and I feel terribly lost. However I have a busy day ahead tomorrow and will just continue trying to push myself and hope things improve.




Oh gosh I don''t want to leave my post all Miss neg so I would like to say Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Button. Judy one of my ballet girls got married & the lucky lady is going to Japan for their honey moon! Jealous much? also a big thank you to Judy for naming one of her adorable plushies after me. If you would like to see more of her crafty handy work be sure to visit her blog.

London Times!








Well I have been in England this past week which has served me well as I got a nice change of scenery and a break from Glasgow. I visited lots of family and spent time with my adorable niece Poppy which was lovely. One afternoon we played dress up and I wore a pretty tiara followed by setting up home for the Barbies dolls. This fun was interrupted by my 4 year old Poppy 'By the way Aunty Amy its not real... its only pretend'... oh! Last time I throw myself into imaginary games! Heh. It was a delight to see everyone again and I enjoyed the time away. On my road back I stopped for an evening in London which was very eventful and exhausting! I did the entire tour on foot with help from my trusty iPhone.


First stop was Victoria followed by a blustery snowy walk toward Buckingham Palace, a trip through the park passing the Ritz on the way then getting a little lost trying to find Oxford Street. I finally made it to the shopping hub and stopped for a cup of tea in a cute waffle place. After a sweet tea I browsed through Selfridges then ventured toward Covent Gardens...




This is where I got my ballet slippers on for some dancing times at...




The Pineapple Dance Studios :D The place was full and buzzing! There are so many classes going on and I was so looking forward to doing some basic barre work. It was also a welcome warm place from the copious amounts of snow that decided to pour from the sky that evening! The class lasted over an hour and was very enjoyable. Afterwards it was time to head back toward Victoria station and journey it home to Glasgow. All in all it was a great few days and I can't wait to go back again soon!

Will post again shortly lovelies!

Post Number One

Welcome to my blog!

I have been a user of livejournal since I was a little one but have decided to enter the world of blogging. I will write about my general interests and expect to see regular appearances from my beautiful cat...



Darcy


I am interested in all sorts from writing to photography, fashion (well experimenting with my own) , film & dance. I love fitness and particularly LOVE swimming! I am unsure what direction I am going in but does anyone really know where they are going?

I shall try my best to keep posting but I tend to be a little forgetful so forgive me if my posts drop off the planet now & again.

Much love

B
