Poor old neglected blog!

I've just realised the last 6 months have been so hectic I completely forgot about my blog :( I'm such a bad person when it comes to starting things and just giving up a couple of months later! So much has happened the last couple of months! I finally turned 21, I am now an adult I suppose! I got some gorgeous presents including my ever so beautiful Vivienne Westwood watch given to me by my boyfriend of 6 months :D guess he kind of explains why I've neglected by blog for so long! Aaahh it's all so amazing when its new and you just live in that Honeymoon phase and you live in your own little bubble just the two of you for so long! Anyway enough of the soppiness it doesn't suit me! That is not all I've had going on recently, I've been working my little butt off since April having odd days off here and there to fund my summer holiday! I'm off to New York in just 8 short days for a 5 day shopping spree!! YIKES I cannot wait! I've never been before but I have always always adored the place and been so very jealous of anybody who has had the chance to experience my dream of visiting the big Apple :D I'm going with my best friends and I just know we are going to have an amazing 5 days shopping and site seeing! Anyway just a short blog to inform you all why I have been absent for the last 6 months and I promise to blog much more in future :)

I've found the greatest love of all, inside of me

Wow, where do I even start? Firstly by saying Rest In Peace to one of the most inspirational beautiful creative women in my life. Whitney Houston has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from dancing around the front room with my mum at the age of 5 poorly singing I Wanna Dance with Somebody, to sobbing at I will always love you the very first time I had my heartbroken at the age of 17. Nobody will ever come close to making the amazing music this Lady made, there will never ever be anybody like her. The world has been left shocked and heartbroken by the saddening news, but most of all her poor 18 year old Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, what a tender age to loose a parent, a mother especially. My thoughts go out to her and the rest of her Family. The voice of an Angel I believe everybody would agree, and through her music I'm sure Whitney will continue to inspire girls and women everywhere for a very long time just as she did me, my grandma and my mum. I have nothing but good words to say about this Lady because despite her problems and her troubles, she was only human, and her addiction was cast into the public eye only because she was so famous, we must not forget that everybody has problems and nobody is perfect, far from it. Not only did she create beautiful music, "The Bodyguard" is one of the greatest chick flicks of all times, never fails to make me cry its again such an inspirational film. She is definitely somebody who will be greatly missed and its a shame she had to leave the world so young. Rest In Peace Whitney Houston - True inspiration to many and a wonderful amazing artist.

Nothing lasts forever......

I am absolutely heartbroken, my favourite couple in the whole of the country are on a break! Lydia Rose Bright and James Argent have been having time apart since Christmas and the nation only found out last night in the first episode of series four of The Only Way Is Essex. I am absolutely stunned that they managed to keep this quiet considering they are both in the public eye so much. It just goes to show though that any celebrity can keep their private lives private if they try hard enough. I really feel for both of them in this 

situation because from last nights episode you can clearly see how much they still truly love each other especially with James tweeting that he had flew back from Dubai early in order to give Lydia her 21st birthday present. Awww I really hope they work it out I think I'll give up all hope of finding the love of my life if this couple split up. They've been through so much together and have been together such a long time it will be devastating to see them go their separate ways. I hope this series brings them both back together and shows viewers that sometimes love does last forever 

Selfish, or just tired of putting everybody first.

I am such a maternal person, all I've ever wanted to do is look after people and put them first. The last couple of weeks though I've been a bit selfish, I've been told that I put too much effort into looking after others and in return I don't look after myself enough and then I end up poorly and run down. So I didn't stop caring about other peoples problems, I just started caring more about my own and I've seen such a difference in myself since. I've been happier in so many different ways and so much has happened the last couple of weeks. I think this year really could be mine after the rubbish year I had last year. I still feel bad though because I feel selfish for putting myself first so much, but if I'm not happy how can I help anyone else to be happy? I'm glad that I have such beautiful and understanding friends who see this change as only a positive thing and like the new happy me :) I like not having to rely on anybody else for my happiness. For the first time in a while I am completely happy with myself and I hope it stays this way for a very long time :)

Karma if I've ever seen Karma before

Well well well Simon Cowell didn't expect Cheryl Cole to be voted best Judge for the Xfactor USA did he. After uprooting her from her family and friends and promising her a life in the USA Cowell dumped and replaced Cheryl as a judge on the Xfactor USA stating that her accent was unclear and hard for the Americans to understand. What an absolute knock back for poor Cheryl after everything she's been through recently. However she bounced back as she always does and only went and got voted the best Judge for her time on the Xfactor USA. Eat your words Simon Cowell. What a beautiful woman Cheryl is. Definitely one of my favourite celebrities!

First week back at school....

Wow what a week, first week back at University for me this week. I am shattered! Ok so I am only in two days a week but its still tiring, reading, writing assignments, finding inspiration for my dissertation. So I'm really sorry that my blog has been neglected this week. I am currently sat in bed writing this because I'm refusing to get out of bed today until I have too. Nothing new or exciting has really happened in my life this week. I've spent the week having my childhood ruined by lecturers who love telling me how Disney structures your childhood in a negative way - single parent families, learning to deal with death before they need to. All subliminal messages of course! I'll never look at a disney film the same again. I have a few things to blog about today, this is just a general rant of why my blog has been left so neglected

Goodbye to the extra :(

I don't know how many of you watch itv2's The Only Way Is Essex, but I absolutely love it. I was devastated by the departure of lovable scoundrel Mark Wright at the end of season 3 but absolutely shocked when I saw on twitter that Maria Fowler would not be returning for series 4. Maria became famous for being the extra in Lauren Popes' and Kirk Norcross' argument over his date with Lucy Meck by hurling abuse at the pair across a restaurant in defence of her best friend. Since then she's become a part of the team, appearing in almost every episode of series 3. She was recently dating Mick Norcross (Kirks Father) and disappeared from the show for a while when horrible rumours were started that she was an escort. Proven false of course. Personally I loved her on the show with her big teeth and false boobs, she was honest and made absolute hilarious television. I will miss her and I'm sure a lot of other TOWIE followers will too. I hope she comes back in the future to show the new extra's how its done.
