100 Little Things Part 2!

Lets start where we finished off last time on part 1 to this post (Make sure you read it before you read the first 50 facts about me!)

51. My butt and boobs are probably the hardest things to buy for ever.
52. Even though I model my self confidence is still only 5% - but its always growing!
53. My body confidence post was the first time I wore a swimsuit in 3 years.
54. I have pasta about 5 times a week, whether I do it for my lunch or dinner.
55. I always leave my washing in a huge pile in my room and just do it all in one big blitz.
56. I still read the texts which my ex sent me saying how much he admired me - and still to this day I feel my heart just hurt a little.
57. My camera's seem to magically just break or lose battery extremely fast before my eyes.
58. I'm probably the worst person in the world at editing YouTube videos.
59. I still need to do my Rockabilly look book that I promised my friend I'd do 5 months ago (I will do it, I know I will!)
60. I've only just figured out how to do scheduled posts on here (technology fail).
61. I still get nervous when I go on an aeroplane.
62. I really want to go to Lapland.
63. I want to meet a Reindeer!
64. My mum keeps telling me I should take up doing make-up but I'm really not that good.
65. I have watched the Gavin and Stacey box set around 100 times - that is no word of a lie.
66. My favourite film to watch at Christmas has to be Robbie the Reindeer - I'm pretty damn obsessed with that DVD.
67. My most embarrassing moment has to be when mum and me were shopping in Lidl and we got told we cant pay by credit card - neither of us had our debit cards on us (in our defence on their website it says all stores take Mastercard and Visa credit cards so it isn't really our fault as we did check).
68. I get really nervous when posting a YouTube video - I don't really know why.
69. I haven't done a driving lesson since the last week of June.
70. I have already bought all my Christmas presents for 2013 and already starting to wrap them!
71. I go on a strict detox 2 days before a gig and on the gig day to make sure my voice and body are in perfect condition when I go on stage.
72. The biggest crowd I have ever sang in front of is 300 people - and I was really scared.
73. My ex was the one who encouraged me to start singing some of my own songs - even though he never actually read any of them.
74. Only 3 people have ever looked at my song/poem book.
75. I am finally getting back into waist training with a corset after an 8 month break.
76.  I'm really scared about doing my driving test.
77. My favourite drink I buy in the shops is the Drench Cranberry and Raspberry drink.
78. I like my coffee really strong with 2 sugars and a small dash of milk.
79. I always get my Christmas stuff down on 1st November and do my Christmas tree. I have a fake tree for my bedroom but we get a real tree for downstairs in the living in December.
80. I have a bad obsession with penguins.
81. I really don't like having to study video games in Media - they bore me to complete death.
82. I wish I never gave up photography A2 - but I really wanted to focus more on English as I'm really passionate about English.
83. I'm specialised in working with children with severe disabilities and I specialise in children with Cerebral Palsy and quadriplegia.
84. I can never work when I know my brother is in hospital - don't even try to cheer me up as it won't work.
85. I never thought I would get to 40 followers on my blog - let alone 5!
86. I'm really struggling to think of more facts about me....
87. I really love Blackcurrant and Raspberry Jelly.
88. I really love rugby - I support England, Leicester Tigers and my birth team Harlequins.
89. I really want to move to Brighton when I'm older/can afford to. I really love it there.
90. I'm really loving the plum and berry colours for winter this year.
91. I want to buy a new camera.
92. I have a bad habit of constantly changing my mind on my hairstyle.
93. I want wavy hair - my hair is so boring and stubborn when it comes to styling.
94. I can't stand the majority of the people in my village. They are all them 'eco' freak sort of people.
95. I currently have 15 candles lit in my bedroom which all smell of Strawberry & Pomegranate.
96. I change my bedlinen every week.
97. I built all the furniture in my room apart from my bed.
98. I really need to re-new my gym membership.
99. I'm going to stay up to watch the Ashes in Australia on tele - because I love Stuart Broad.
100. Even though I'm still battling with my health and depression I've become a much happier person in the last year after leaving the 2 boys who said they admired me to the end of the world and back. I'm finally back on my feet, slowly and steadily, but even with my trust issues still in place I'm meeting some nice lads who are proving to me there are still some nice lads around!

Well that's it! If you have any blog suggestions then make sure you comment! Don't forget to join my blog via GFC on the right hand side - at 50 followers I'll be holding a giveaway!

Pumpkin Carving Part 2!



So here are the pumpkins I have decided to carve this year with my mum, brother and his carer! We started doing three pumpkins as it always looks so cute down the path to our front door! In my area where I live, Halloween is absolutely huge - we have to get over 300 sweets in, and guarantee they will all go. For people to know its okay to knock on your door, you have to have a pumpkin outside, so for those who don't want Trick or Treaters they wont knock! This year we chose to do; Creepy Jack Skellington, Headless Horsemen and 3 ghosts. (Stencils below!)
(P.S Sorry for the really bad quality images my main camera lens is busted and my camera is beginning to play me up now, so I've had to use iPhone images!).


Gutting the Pumpkins!
I decide to carve Jack Skellington by myself this year...


Hard at work carving the pumpkin!
All Finished!


Well tomorrow I have my final Halloween OOTW up - its a dead Barbie Doll Outfit!

Lots of Love

Emma

I'm Back! - Weekly Overview; 25th August!

Good Evening my Lovelies! I am back from a weeks break of blogging (which I well and truly needed!). I'm amazingly watching the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashains' on E!... I don't really enjoy reality TV, but this is slightly comical and relaxing! I know my post is a little late tonight (sorry!) I've had a hectic, busy day! 


Yes - I met Daniel Radcliffe
while in London!!

Today I spent doing lots of bits and bobs around the house and out, I've also completed the adoption forms, yes adoption forms (not what you are thinking... Reel that thought in!!!) because, I am hopefully adopting another Labrador to be a brother/sister to my lovely yellow Lab Freddie! 

Monday I am attending a private wedding fair, which was meant to happen on Saturday but was postponed to Monday instead. And again, reel the thought that you currently have in, I am most certainly not getting married (I haven't found a man even the slightest bit interested in little old me yet!). But I am, however, modelling wedding dresses! I am so super excited at doing this, its like a dream to wear a wedding dress but not actually get married! (At least if I never get married I would've tried on a wedding dress!) 


Tuesday I am not doing much at all (thankfully) I need a little rest, plus I need to sort out my best friends birthday present (hopefully all the bits arrive in time!!) its just a day of relaxing doing paperwork (my OOTW!) and sorting out all my dresses in my wardrobe!! 


Wednesday My dad is still off from work as he took an extra 2 days off after the bank holiday, so it may be a day of going out on a family trip (I really enjoy car trips, driving around Sussex and Kent, just because its so super fun and beautiful out in the Country where I live!) 


Thursday My best friend and me are going to the Cinema for a little birthday treat and we also have to organise a night out for a meal at some point, but first we need to decide what film to go and see!


Friday I have all sorts planned, I have lots of things to organise for going back to college, research work, and also tonnes of modelling things to sort out!! (I have also uploaded some pictures to the Photo Shop, so for those interested in modelling photos, drop me an email and I can get them printed and signed!) 


Saturday I like being spontaneous so I haven't got anything planned what-so-ever! Just have to wait and see what comes!


UPDATES This week I met Daniel Radcliffe while in London, and I also was a runner up in the Beauxoxo Giveaway! I will be getting a goody bag from Beauxoxo, which I will post up on here for my Wednesday or Friday post! So also look out for that!!


Much Love


Emma Victoria

Weekly Update; 14th July

In my new Lindy Bop 'Elmira'
wiggle dress
Good sunny and hot day to you! I just looked at my thermometer and its 34.3'c outside right now! Wow! Well as you know, it was my 18th birthday on Friday  and I have a picture post I have yet to upload to you, but I am also planning on doing a birthday haul video... Yes I am finally getting round to doing a video! I also had a suggestion from my lovely friend Stephanie from Stephanie Maverick to do a look book on all my rockabilly dresses! Which I thought was a fab idea, so I will also be doing that this week too at some point!

Today just consists of sitting around and relaxing, I am still slightly recovering from last night (it was good, but also very horrendous at the same time). I have also ended up buying a new Lindy Bop Dress (see below) - this dress was actually released on my birthday, it was meant to be! I also had to throw out my old petticoat yesterday because it has gone all flat and horrible and the material is ripped, so I've had to buy a new petticoat and also bought a load of hair flowers too!



The 'Carola' Lindy Bop
Halter Dress
Monday I've no idea what I have planned today, its probably nothing much apart from doing lots of paperwork and tidying the house. I'm also going to take down my birthday decorations and just sort my room out! I also need to put some money in my bank to buy a CD (Top Cats -Smashing to the Ground to be precise). 

Tuesday I have boring old work and band practice. Work is from 9am-2pm and I have band practice from 4-6.30 then I have to come home and cook my dinner and go for a run with my dog!


Wednesday I'm at work as I have a meeting with my boss and I need to help start decorating the school for celebration day. My boss who is the headteacher of the school I work at, also does photography, just like me, so I'm going to help him set up the studio for photos on Friday!



Thursday I'm at... wait for it... Work. Whenever it gets near the end of term my hours at work tend to be spent more at work then at home, and I seem to get less sleep. I also have a spinal clinic appointment which tends to take around an hour and also a 6 month review... Oh yay! I then have to come home and go back to work to do scouts with my brother as they are short staffed this week, and need help sorting out lots of things for the jamboree in August!


Friday I have celebration day all day at my work, which means all the parents and carers come into the school and we have certificates and awards to give out in all the different departments, afterwards we have a fun afternoon with the photographic studio, music, games, ice cream van, picnic, farm animals, all sorts! My mum will more then likely want my brother and me to have pictures taken together, and its the one time I can really dress up at work instead of wearing no make-up and plain boring clothes! 

Saturday I've no idea what I'm doing, but I might go out if I can find someone to go with me! Oh the joys of being a year older!


Well its a pretty busy week at work, but hey, not long till the Summer and I'm off for 5 weeks before going back to college and work!!


Don't forget to keep an eye out on my Youtube and for my first lookbook post!

Much Love


Emma Victoria

Weekly Update; 30th June!

Oh gosh, I can't believe its nearly July! We are already half way through 2013!! With it being the last day of June today, the count down to my birthday begins... which means I'M NEARLY CLASSED AS AN ADULT! :( 
I'm not wearing any make-up!
Today Just consists of relaxing now... and drinking. I've already cut the lawn today (in the heat) so now I'm just relaxing in the sun, with a lovely cool fresh orange juice. Tonight I'll just have a shower and then relax in bed and watch a film again!

Monday Today, my mum and me are going to Eastbourne, to go to this shop called 'Dunelm Mill' which we've never been to before... We are going to get some bits and bobs for my birthday so if there is anything I like we will get! Afterwards we will come home, and again probably just do nothing...


Tuesday Depending if my mum feels up to go to Dunelm Mill on Monday  we will go today (we are so indecisive), if we go on Monday I will do the cleaning today, or vice versa! I will also be taking picture of my outfit of the week so keep an eye out for that! First OOTW for July!


Wednesday I have work *sigh* however, we are just doing multi sensory and swimming so its quite and easy and relaxed day again! Afterwards, I have to do some paperwork... The joys of sorting bank accounts and receipts...


Thursday I haven't yet decided whether I will be either playing or watching the staff football match at work, but knowing my luck cause I used to coach wheelchair football, I will be roped in to play! Afterwards I am going for a picnic with my lovely friend and colleague Esther, who is going away for the whole summer once work is finished! 6 weeks without my girl, what on earth will I do?!


Friday Just another day relaxing, I don't have many hours this week as I've managed to fill my allocation of hours up until the 16th July, with all the annual review meetings I've been going into work for, so that means more time off! If the weather is nice I will probably end up going for a walk with my partner, and then just relaxing; or if the weather is crappy we will stay indoors and watch a film together!


Saturday Will probably just be another relaxing day, I have to go into work to meet some of the new staff members! I also have someone doubling up with my position, meaning my hours get halved, just in time for when I go back to college in September! (Fewer night shifts for me at least!) In the evening, I will be going to my local speedway (Eastbourne Eagles) and seeing my best friend Charlie! I only tend to go when she goes, cause for some reason, most people seem to hate me there nowadays or they all have their little group of friends. Meaning, I can have a fun night with my best friend before she moves down nearer to me!


Well, its a pretty relaxed week I think! Which is nice, cause I can enjoy this beautiful sunny weather! On Wednesday, I will be posting a '18th Birthday Wishlist' post, just so you guys have an idea what I want for my birthday!


Much Love

Weekly Overview (June 2nd)!

Since I fell ill this week, I had to cut my hours down at work as I have to be super careful with the children I work with. So instead I ended up doing a photoshoot with my lovely friend Eddie for his recent project. Since it was half term though, I got paid extra to work so I am still okay financially (for now!). So, whats for the week to come? 

Today: With having some serious throat strain earlier this week, my band and myself have arranged a day of just rehearsing our new songs and just a little jam. However, we are also going for a 'band outing' to the garden centre to have a little nosy! After I'll probably just come home and relax and look at updating my Sky TV Subscription in my room *sigh*.


Monday: Today I am at work again, I have lots of appointments in the clinic department of my work so I will be drinking a lot of coffee and seeing a lot of students with their parents and carers! I have 3 annual reviews today, and I also have to help with my own brothers botox injections in his legs (oh fun). I finish work at 2 and get to come home and cook my dinner and relax in my room again, and maybe do some browsing on some blogs! (Don't forget to leave your links below in the comments so I can have a look at yours!)


Tuesday: Another morning spent at work working in the clinic again (its that time of year!) However I finish at 11.30! This is my last week before going back to college where my hours will drop again and I will be working weekends and nights a lot more! After I get home I will do some blogging, before going to my singing lesson to try and sort my voice/throat out again! 


Wednesday: I am working in the multi-sensory room again today, until 12.30 but then I will be meeting some royalty who are paying a visit to my work! I will be meeting alongside with the colleagues and students at my work, the Duchess of Gloucester (Patron of the school) and the Duchess of Cornwall! (How exciting!!!). After, I will probably come home, and cut the lawn and ring Sky up before doing some singing practice at home and then going to band practice! 


Thursday: I get a lay in!! ... Well until 9.30 and then I have to go to work for 3 o'clock till 7 and then I will go out for a meal with my colleague Esther and then come home and watch Psychobitches on Sky Arts!


Friday: Day off to get things ready for college again! Today I will be spending my day in my room songwriting, bag sorting and sorting out lots of blog posts and stuff for you all! Ah gosh! 


Saturday: Thankfully I am only on-call this weekend but there is still a good chance I can get some rest! Hopefully, this Saturday I will be helping my family with things to do round the house and hopefully I will be going to speedway with my good friend Charlie! Lets hope I don't get called off to work!


See you next week for my next weekly update! I doubt it will be as interesting as I go back to college however I will try and get some fun things to do in!!


Love


Emma Victoria

Weekly Overview!

Seeing as its the bank holiday, I thought I'd do another blog post for you all! I also thought that now I've started doing my weekly OOTW (every Tuesday!) I thought that I'd add another little personal segment so you can keep up with my personal life a bit as well! I will probably post my 'Weekly Overview on a Sunday  looking forward to the week I have ahead of me!

Today: First of all, I am up super early to go and cut the lawn, seeing as I have hay fever  and no one else in my house will cut the lawn, I cut the lawn early as the pollen count is lower *sigh* the happy life of a hay fever sufferer aye? After that, I have to get all my gear together as I'm performing with my lovely friend at a small vintage fair in the next village to were I live! I am super excited for this little afternoon set as my friend is so talented on the guitar and piano and her voice is magical compared to mine! Pimms anyone?


Tuesday: I get a lay in! Yes! First of all need to pick up everyone's prescription from the pharmacy and then I have to get ready for work! I am working from 11am - 2pm! Once finished, I will probably come home, quickly do my OOTW and then rush off to rehearsal's with my lovely boys in my band, and do some more song writing! 


Wednesday: Again I am working, full day today so not much exciting going on from 8am - 4pm, however seeing me through the day is knowing that I get to go home to watch TV in bed, and have my movie night! 


Thursday: Today I am off to go and do the food shopping, and do the cleaning in the house! The amount of chores I end up doing in my house I sometimes wonder how I end up having any spare time at all! I work in the afternoon in the multi-sensory department so I only work from 1pm - 4pm, which is nice but also makes me sleepy! Recently I have been going for a meal with my colleague Esther after work, and then coming home to snuggle in bed!


Friday: Relaxing day! Today is the day I tend to do, well, nothing. I have managed to get everything in the week that I can finally relax... But wait. I have to do song writing, and I also have my singing lesson's on a Friday afternoon... Oh jeez. Once everything is done, I can finally relax, and watch a movie in bed, snuggle up and go to sleep!


Saturday: Saturday's tend to be spontaneous, often depending on weather and what's going on... However this is the weekend I work... I work every other weekend, and this weekend is my rota week. On Saturdays at work we tend to take the children out on a trip, which is always really nice, to get out and have fun while working!


So, that's this week rounded up... See you next Sunday for my Weekly Overview!!


Much Love


Emma Victoria
