KASSIDY are King



I was losing faith in music. I was ready to hang up my headphones, and turn and walk away defeated. This is probably the most over used phrase but sadly Kings of Leon killed it for me they killed rock and my faith in it. They were so original and so so unique and special bringing something that I had not hear since the early 90's with Kurt Cobain. I was saddened when they sold their soul to the masses but I suppose money always talks. So just as I was about to give up forever, put my faith and efforts back into the classics who have never failed to dissapoint, turn to the Blues I stumbled across these musical prodigies. 


I mean can you think of 4 lovely, long haired, Scotts on guitars. Consisting of four members Lewis Andrew, Barrie-James O'Neill, Hamish Fingland and Chris Potter, originally from Glasgow they draw inspiration from bands such as Crosby, Stills and Nash but bring in their own specialness that make them, well, Kassidy. Harmonies and breathtaking voices, I get Cobain, Jim Morrison and Crash Test Dummies come through yet you can not pin point them to one which gives them a unique and very special sound, Kassidy are really hitting the G Spot for me. They have restored my faith in music of this era and I can not express how relieved I was to hear this breathe of fresh air. They are a brilliant band with some really great songs and an amazing sound. I am loving The Traveller, The Betrayal, Oh My God and Stray Cats. Keep close eyes on this band. You will not be disappointed. For any information or images or music samples from these beasts you can check them out at either http://www.kassidymusic.com/home or http://www.myspace.com/kassidyuk. Thank you Kassidy!

Picture Pretty Products in Pink




Every lady on this planet have their own beauty tips and secrets that work for them and products that go with them, and I am sure I am not speaking about myself when I say they range from cheap House hold names to more expensive splurges. However, personally I have found a great brand. A brilliant brand to pamper and treat yourself leaving you feeling buffed, cleansed, scrubbed and smelling like a million pounds. It is no secret that packaging is one way to catch the eye of the shopper and what other way to do this than with great girl pink, vintage photographs of women, eye catching graphics and hilarious puns on products. It is fun, young, looks great on the shelves and hey, they even do amazing cosmetics bag with funky prints. Now I have my few key items that I will, bless their little components, never ever get rid of. But, who says you can have too many indulgent products it is like shoes if they make you feel like a million bucks, why the hell stop. So thank you Soap & Glory (from all Boots stores). 


There sexiness runs from outside right to the last drop inside their products. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE can I say LOVE one more time, the Super-Colour Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Gloss it is AMAZING and you can feel your lips tingle and they swell in size and leave you with the perfect kissable and dare-I-say 'blowjob' lips. It is amazing and honestly the greatest last addition to any great make up kit. I also LOVE Scrub Your Nose In It which is a facial exfoliator and teams up to be a great facial mask too. These products are all amazing and every single one I have tried has never let me down. The more I try the more in love I fall. And the greatest thing about this brand is they are affordable, look very attractive and sexy in your bathroom cabinet, and they leave you feeling very 1920 Hollywood. Dive in and enjoy! You can find all you need to know on their website below. (And a little secret, get to Boots now they have great 3 for 2 offers and gift sets on sale) Shop. Shop. Shop ladies!

Autumn Awesomeness





There is something about this Autumn season that knots my tummy and sends butterflies fluttering everywhere, maybe its the last glow of the summer that leaves the golden, orangy-red leaves thinking they are our last vision of summer so beautiful that you don't mind the cold creeping in slowly. The suns rays have lost its intensity yet still leaves a soft light lingering in our hearts and our skin cries out for more. Autumn is so crisp and fresh and its the best season to be in love. You don't  need to rely on the comfort and warmth of someone during the winter or the hot passionate sweaty summer flings when you only want it sometimes but you chose it you want it because it warms you inside and keeps your value of love alive everything around you is so beautiful and whats more beautiful that loving some one loving someone over yourself where you can spend every minute of the day eyes closed, listening to the soothing sound of their voice or feeling the intensity of their touch leaving pins and needles when they remove it? What is more mind blowing than day dreaming about that some one all day whenever your head wanders, to look at your phone every 5 seconds just because he may have text you since the last time you checked, that silly, giddy love affair that blows your mind and leaves you panting and breathless you're body crying out for more. When no one else matters other than you and him breathing in and out at the same time. There is something about this season that gets my blood boiling and my head racing my heart pumping so fast that i cant keep count of my pulse. So until winter I will embrace my every craving border lining obsessive emotional state and enjoy it. My Autumn song choice. Listen, love and feel.
