I know I said that I probably wouldn't blog much, but I'm on a mission. I have a Fat Girl Shopping List, and I am determined to fulfil it!!Okay, so I should probably explain, but basically my boots have a hole in the bottom which is pretty rubbish for a pair that I've had barely a year, and only wear during the colder months. So, not wanting to spend the entire winter wearing my walking boots, I decided to invest in a pair of wellies, which look cute and keep the water away from my feet - hopefully - so I popped into Millets whilst in Chester recently,...

Thoughtful Thursday: 22.11.2012 (just!)
Posted on 15:45 by tripal h
Hi, my name's Kat and I used to blog here pretty frequently....yeah, so it's been a bit quiet over here recently, and I'm not going to beat about the bush - I have seriously lost my beauty blogging mojo. You know how when you do something for so long, you just get sick of it, especially when it is also your job? Don't get me wrong, I love writing and blogging about beauty, but when I'm doing it for my job, it sort of feels like I'm bringing my job...

When Two Worlds Collide
Posted on 03:58 by tripal h
It's no secret that I run three blogs - I know, I'm a blogaholic!! There's this one that I use for beauty, fashion, lifestyle etc (albeit a little think on the ground at the minute), I also have an Entertainment one that I run with my other half and I also have a writing-based one. Whilst makeup and entertainment very easily collide, I generally don't talk so much about my (fiction) writing over on this blog anymore. So, when I do manage...

20 Things I Miss About Being a Kid!
Posted on 08:41 by tripal h

This is actually a list that I started putting together a long time ago, for a very different blog. But, I came across it earlier, and decided to reserrect it and finish it.One. Not having to decide what to wear every day, because my school uniform came in two colours, blue and black, and they were actually worn together!! Don't get me wrong, I love having the freedom to dress how I like everyday, without the restrictions of a school uniform, but...

October Lust Haves
Posted on 07:52 by tripal h

How are we half way through October already? It's getting depressing how fast this year is whizzing past, but I have to admit that I'm really looking forward to November this year, with NaNoWriMo, a trip to Edinburgh and a weekend away for my birthday too, so I won't be too sad to see the back of this month to be perfectly honest.So, what am I lusting after this cool month?Spotty Black SkirtOne thing that I am not appreciating about Autumn this year,...

Dictionary: Bitrex
Posted on 00:00 by tripal h

Soooo, it came to my attention that I haven't done a Dictionary post since February, wow, that really is not good is it? I love doing these posts, because I always find that I learn something from writing them.Anyway, this is one that I've been meaning to do for quite some time and I thought I'd started a post about it, but apparently, I haven't! Basically, this week I'm looking at....*drumroll please*...BitrexIf you've ever bought a Nail Varnish...

Uni Style: Create Your Own
Posted on 03:13 by tripal h

The aspect of Uni that I definitely loved the most was how creative I could get when it came to my overall style. I might not have been the most fashion concious when I was 18 to 21, but I certainly enjoyed my new found freedom.I think that for a lot of students, going to Uni is the first time in their lives when they have had a 100% say in how they dress, what they do with their hair etc. For me, my mum always gave me a certain level of freedom...

Tips: Applying Liquid Eyeliner
Posted on 01:34 by tripal h

Regular readers will know how up until recently I have not been able to apply Liquid Eyeliner to save my life. Then, one day, I somehow managed it, and I was convinced that it was a fluke because I didn't manage it again very quickly. So, as a result, I decided to seriously try out a couple of tips from you lovely people out there who were kind enough to comment on my posts, in the past.Tip One. Apply with the Skin stretched outThis was something...

Beautiful World: Beautiful Music
Posted on 03:34 by tripal h

For anyone who might have missed it, I am a huge film and video game buff (shameless plug: you can check out my entertainment blog here!), and that love for film and gaming also stems into soundtracks.In a way, I think that soundtracks have slightly made classical music "cool". It's generally not considered cool to say that you like Pavane, or Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Yet, it's not quite as bad to say that you're loving the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack,...

September Lust Haves

I've never done a Lust Have post before, but I've seen a few things recently, on various websites, that I have really fallen in love with, that I decided to put together this blog post in replacement of my Hottie and the Nottie post, which I've gotten (yet again) out of sync with writing anyway!Poppy Fur Lined BootFrom Pixie Footwear, the Poppy Fur Lined Boot is so adorable and perfect for winter as they look so warm, and with thick soles which should...

Top 10 Tips for Making Uni Life Easier
Posted on 03:06 by tripal h
When I was younger, going to Uni was supposed to be this big and wild adventure, but in reality, that isn't always the case. Things go wrong, and they don't always go to plan. You discover that not everyone is nice, or even worth knowing. At times, Uni can seem like one huge pain in the behind, but I wanted to share a few tips for making your time at Uni that little bit easier, because these are the things that most Universities don't always tell you about:1. Back Everything Up - Regularly.In my final year at Uni, my PC decided to do an almost...

Top 10 Things to take to Uni
Posted on 03:43 by tripal h
This time ten years ago, I was preparing to start my journey into the world of University. Ten years is a long time, but weirdly it still feels like yesterday because time seems to whizz by so quickly. I know that quite a few of you will be heading off to Uni over the next few weeks so I thought that I would do a little series of posts to help you to settle in no matter which Uni you're headed towards.Of course, these tips are pulled from my own experience of University, and everyone else will probably have had completely different experiences,...

Curbi Studio Bags
Posted on 02:21 by tripal h

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that most (although of course not all) women have a passion for either shoes or bags. For me, shoes don't really do it that much for me. However, I love bags and the quirkier, the better. In fact, I recently had a conversation with my family about how many bags is too many. The answer of course being that you can never have too many bags!Keeping things in the family, I wanted to share a couple of pieces beautifully...
