YouTube

Hey Guys, I thought I would do a quick little post before I went away to Brighton for a few days, so here goes. For those of you who have seen my 2016 Goals post (which I would link here, but I really can't be arsed), then you will know that one of the things on that list is to start to properly make YouTube videos. However terrifying this may now be, I feel like I should allow you blogging buddies to see some of those videos...and I can only apologies for the content and my crappy face... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKH30oYcTBY Again, I'm sorry :')

Current Life State

Wow! Once again, I’m awake at midnight and get a sudden stroke of guilt in regard to not posting on here again. If I’m being completely honest though…I’m struggling. My life has flipped upside down, and everything just seems a bit too much. Normally, I would avoid writing things like this, but fuck it! I’m human, you’re human, and if you too are going through a rough patch in life, you’re not alone. It tough to remember that everyone struggles, but I felt as though I should explain myself a bit with a short post. If I’m honest, I don’t want to go into too much detail just yet, I’m not brave enough, but hopefully, I’ll be back to my normal self soon. Thanks for sticking with me, it means the world!

Oopsy Daisy...

Again, I find myself remembering this blog at 02:15am, and instantly feel as though I need to do a little update. To be honest, the main reason I haven't blogged much is because I have been reading and writing like a maniac. A bad excuse, I know, but I feel that my fellow book worms will understand! Linking on to that idea, I HAVE A GOODREADS ACCOUNT! I update it regularly, and am constantly looking for new books to read. If you have an account, feel free follow me and I'll follow back (provided you have a good taste in book!) https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/46209605-heather-eggelton

How Many Goals Have I Broken?!

Hey Guys, It's safe to say, I've been a lousy blogger so far this year, but in my defence, I have had a tricky couple of weeks. On top of that, I've sort of ignored my 2016 goals, but I thought that to get back into blogging tonight by going through my list, and seeing how many I'm currently on track to achieve. 2016 Blog More - A clear fail!

What I Ate Wednesday 13.01.2016

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Today, I felt like I should actually try really hard to watch what I eat for this post. Although I didn’t have millions of plans, I have still needed to go to the doctors, and to a gig to do some photography, so a lot of my time was consumed. Breakfast was my usual affair of Weetabix with banana and pecans, accompanied with green tea. Although this is my usual breakfast, I still often find that I get really peckish mid-morning time. As a result, I thought I would have a homemade detox beetroot juice accompanied by a gluten-free and sugar-free carrot and ginger muffin, the muffin seems to magically turn into a very un-paleo Cherry Bakewell…oops? For lunch, I made up a tomato, spinach, basil, feta, lettuce and pepper salad, which was delicious! I had found a recipe for a salad dressing somewhere which I did use with this, but can longer find the recipes. I then had an early tea of prawns with ginger and spring onion, accompanied with fried ri...

All-American Rejects - Kids in the Streets Review

Image
Following the flop that was When The World Comes Down, it’s safe to say that The All-American Rejects definitely had some making up to do when it comes to realising their next album, Kids in the Street. I know that my opinion will now become even more unpopular with all the “music reviewing professionals”, but, to me, this album was amazing, and actually seemed to recapture the energy and emotional lyricism which I felt that their previous album lacked. Track List      1.        Someday’s Gone      2.        Beekeeper’s Daughter      3.        Fast and Slow      4.        Heartbeat Slowing Down      5.        Walk Over Me      6.        Out the Door      7.     ...

Eeny Meeny Review

Image
From looking at my previous reviews, I feel as though I have made it very clear that I enjoy books of the thriller genre. Understandably, when I then became aware of the enormous hype that surrounded M. J. Arlidge’s Eeny Meeny, I was quick to buy and engulf the novel. Unfortunately, I was nothing but disappointed. The book surrounds the concept of couples being abducted, and then being given the choice to kill or be killed. Detective Inspector Helen Grace finds herself against the clock, desperately trying to catch the killer before another life is lost. Enigmatic and mysterious, two key features that I expected to find within this novel, and unfortunately, two elements that refused to make an appearance. I understand that writing a thriller is bound to be difficult work; however, I found that the pacing, wording and even character development was just all poor. The book seems to be moving so fast, that I found myself not caring about people’s deaths. There’s no build up or ch...
