Questionable Ethics

I'll be 100% honest and say that I've ALWAYS been against animal testing for Cosmetic purposes. I can remember writing endless essays about it at school, checking labels for cruelty free logos and actively choosing to to shop in places like the Body Shop and Lush because they were cruelty free. Over the Winter, I carefully checked all labels for any trace of Angora, I didn't want bunnies to have suffered for me to be warm and cosy. I went through a Vegetarian phase and Vegan Phase and I still carefully select my eggs (you can't un-see those tragic images of the factory farmed chickens). I still rarely eat meat but that has more to do with the fact that my tummy seems to have issues with it, not my brain. 

I consider myself a person with ethics. I have values and things I believe in, I give to charity and I try to do my bit. Recently, I decided to start sending out letters for a Charity event which will raise a substantial amount of money for Cancer Charities. The reason I was sending letters was because I wanted to supply goody bags with a few samples and bits and bobs in as a thank you for peoples kind donations.

This Week I'm Reading...

2 Stories about Monsters, a bereaved Tortoise and 1 Bottled Heart...

This Weeks Reading!

I know what you're thinking, 'that sounds cheerful!'. But actually I've really enjoyed get stuck in to these books this week. It started out with me asking my 12 year old brother what he's studying in English at the moment and I was so delighted when he replied 'Frankenstein'. I think Adam got more information than he bargained for as I started rambling on about how much I loved reading it and how thrilled I was with my A-level result for the associated paper (102/104 - oh yeah!). Turn's out that so far, Adam isn't a huge fan of the Gothic horror classic, but it did lead us into a conversation about Monsters. Men and Ethics that was very profound for a 12 year old so I'll let him off! It did however, prompt me to show off my beautiful edition of this book and then I wanted to read it again!

My Favourite Disney Characters

I was sat listening to the hail this morning thinking it was going to be a gloomy day when I noticed that the lovely Charlene over at tartanmouth and written a post about her Favourite Disney Characters! Having read it through and been reminded of all the wonderful Disney Characters I LOVE I noticed that Charlene hnd seen the Disney Post on Danielle's Blog - here are her Favourite Disney Characters. I thought it would be nice to keep it going, it seem's like a fun post to Write, so here are mine:

A Spring Summer Trend I'm in Love With!

Hello Lovelies!

I am not a 'Trendy' person, I buy what I like and that's about it. Normally, I loathe Spring Summer Collections. Why? Because I'm not normally a wearer of Pastel Colours or Neon Colours. I don't really suit Florals and Patterns have a W I D E N I N G effect on my frame. I am however, a big fan of Oasis. Oh I could always spend a small fortune in there and everything I've ever owned has always worn/washed so well and kept it shape so, while it may cost more than H&M or New Look, if I have the money I'm happy to spend it there.

1. V Neck Tee £12  2. Tropical Forest Shorts £35 3. Tropical Forest Shopper £40

4. Layla Leather Toepost £22, All Oasis

5. 'For the Birds' Earrings $48, Kate Spade, Matching Items Available

6. Cerise Nail Lacquer £11, Soigne at Birchbox

Johnny Loves June Vintage...and a little trip to the Farmers Market!

I've had the 10th of May in my Calendar for MONTHS! Mostly because it was World Lupus Day but also because it was the Johnny Loves June Vintage and Handmade Fair in Shoreham. Yey! I went to the Christmas one and found so so many goodies but I'd made a mistake - I'd seen something in the handmade section of someone's stall, decided to think about it, gone back and it was sold! Noooooo! Not this time haha.

Now, I'm always honest in my reviews and this is NOT a negative comment about the fair at all, it's more a comment on my personal difficulties with noise! The thing I love about this fair is the stage, they always have entertainment - last time I was there it was 3 lovely ladies singing like they were singing to the troops in the 50's, FABULOUS. And a lovely young lad singing Sinatra like a pro, Lovely. This time, My ultimate favourite, Jive! Jive dancing to some great music and I loved it, I did. But it was a lot louder than I remembered last time and sadly, with the Lupus brain fog and the music I couldn't really process anything. I got a bit panicked and that really did impact on my enjoyment. But looking around, people were loving it and the dancing was fantastic! I made the decision to whiz round, find what I was looking for and sadly, make a quick exit.

Liebster Award - Blogger Community Award!

A proud moment for my Little Blog today as the lovely Rebecca Simplement nominated me for the Liebster Award. The first thing I did was Google it! haha. A little research tells me it's an award given to Bloggers with fewer than 200 followers by other Bloggers to recognise up and coming lovely Blogs. So naturally I did a little happy dance and I'm proudly displaying my little Award Badge (there are several to pick from, I like this one, the Colour suits my Blog!) and as I have accepted the award I must now follow the rules:

Did you Enjoy the Bank Holiday Weekend?

Hugo and Dave

             

After all the excitement last weekend going to see Sarah Millican (read it here), the Mr and I decided on a nice relaxed weekend at home. Friday night was #PizzaFriday - what little fatties we are! But seriously, you can't watch Gogglebox without some sort of delicious (fatty) food! 

Saturday, a lovely day to sleep in  wake up at 08:20 for no apparent reason. Matt has been at his placement all week and I think his brain has decided to sync his body clock already. Not that I minded, I'm normally up at this time and catching up with Corrie or something on the Tablet! 

Response to 'It's a Family Trait'

I recently wrote a post about my experience living with Lupus which you can read here: It's a Family Trait.

I had a lot of very Positive Feedback, as it stands the post has been viewed over 800 times, this is what some people had to say:

Review: Robinsons 'Squash'd'

I appreciate that people might think this is an odd item to review on a Blog but: I love squash, I love Peach flavoured things and I love thing's in miniature so this is a great buy from my point of view.

So, in a nutshell, the lovely people at Robinsons have created a small squeezable bottle of squash, ideal to have in your handbag or lunch box and the like. I was sceptical at first, after all, who really needs this? and then I thought about it: camping, festivals, people in hospital or away from home and day to day hydration spring to mind. My best friend hates drinking water on it's own and always has to have a bottle of squash with her. With this she can just carry this and get a bottle of water or just ask for a glass of tap water and add this! Great for toddlers (just dilute with more water) and kids. 

Ruby Ruth Dolls

I feel I should probably explain why I added a direct link to the Ruby Ruth Dolls website from my Blog. They're not my creation (Sadly!), but the creation of Brighton based Artist, Jenny Mustill. Jenny studied her degree in London and went on to work as one of Damien Hirst's studio assistants. She created the dolls to sell at a market stall in London's Brick Lane and also sold them at festivals. At this time the dolls looked very different, they were a lot smaller and filled with little beads (not dissimilar to Beanie Babies, just a lot more quirky and handmade!). During her time in Cornwall, Jenny came across the Lovely buttons which are now used as the Doll's eye's and the size of the doll's evolved to fit in with the button's! 

They're now made from a mixture of new and recycled fabrics, the little hats are made from jumpers found in charity shops and jumble sales! They're stuffed with a bead/polyester toy mix and finished with buttons and colourful threads. They each have their own little story so you might pick a 'Ruby' (who is building a spaceship in her garden and plans to take all her friends to the moon when it's finished!) or a 'Jack' (he's a Fisherman and a Poet) or perhaps even a 'Peggy' (she was quite a looker in her day and is never seen without her make-up and floral headscarf).

Noddy! And The Museum of Childhood

How excited was I when I stumbled across this little gem in Oxfam Books, Brighton? Errrrrm, Extremely! It's in absolutely outstanding condition, a Noddy annual style book from the 1970's. This is the kind of thing I dream of finding at Vintage Fairs and they normally have a price tag that makes me think twice (and then buy it anyway) but this beauty set me back a mere 49p. Thank you Oxfam, this one is pride of place in my Noddy Collection!

This week....

My week began with a lovely night out with my Mummy! hahaha. We got all dressed up pretty and went into Brighton to see Dreamboats and Petticoats. We also went to Pinnochios, I forgot how much I love it there..and I also forgot how big the portions were - not that I let it stop me eating cheesy garlic bread, pizza and profiteroles! 

Tummy's extremely full we went of to the show and I have to say, it was a real feel good kinda show. A lovely sing-a-long too, even though the songs are 50's and 60's I still grew up listening to most of them! We had great seats and the cast were absolutely fabulous. It was so nice to have a night out with my Mum too :-)

I picked up a little Badge to add to my Collection! 

It's a Family Trait.

Before you read this please be aware that this is MY life, my story. It may be a long blog post but I wasn't going to cut it down in the hopes that more people would read it. You may find the content upsetting/disturbing. I won't apologise for this because it actually happened to me and I wanted to share the story. If you're going to comment, that's great! If you have something negative to say, please say it elsewhere. So, grab yourself a nice cuppa and settle down,  it's reading time!  

*Thank you*

I was 12 when I lost my Granny. It's really odd to think it was 16 years ago because it really doesn't feel like it. I still dream about it, about the last time I saw her and heard her voice. She was in the hospital and everything about her seemed to have changed. Her strong, Scottish voice sounded weak but happy, in a forced way. I can remember her saying she was fine as I played with my yo-yo (playground trends repeat themselves huh?!). I'm already welling up and looking at the screen through glazed eyes but I really feel I need to do this. She'd lost her sight, her stomach was swollen like she was pregnant - such a shock to me because I don't think I ever thought of my Granny as fat or big so to suddenly have this stomach really surprised me. 

My Granny

The fact that she was in hospital wasn't a huge shock, I mean to say, it wasn't my first experience of her being ill. She'd had a heart attack 2 years before. To give you an idea of the kind of woman she was, she called an ambulance and then went downstairs to open the door to her flat. Whilst having a heart attack. She was one tough cookie, My Mum tell's me the greatest stories of when she was a kid, all the things that went on that my Granny pulled through. She was strong. According to my Mum it's a family trait...

When Granny passed away I was devastated but I'm not sure how much it showed. I don't remember crying but I must have, I've certainly cried a million times since. We didn't know, until afterwards, that my Granny had Lupus. We didn't even know what Lupus was which I think is understandable, I meet a great many people now who have never heard of it and there's so much information available now. It was Kidney failure, I believe, that they said she officially 'died' from. Obviously, Lupus played it's part.

This Week I'm Reading...

Scary Fairy Tales, A Superhero and A Goldfish!

I really love to read, I have a beautiful collection and they are my pride and joy! My bookcase is filled with Short Stories, Fairy Tales, Classics, Children's books, Novella's, Poetry and just about everything else in between!

I've decided that I'll start sharing my lovely books with you all so today I'm going to tell you what I've been reading this week. I read really quickly, once I've snuggled down with a book my coffee I tend to be there all night!

I started my week with a collection of 'Scary Fairy Tales', There Once Lived a Women Who Tried to Kill her Neighbours Baby by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya.

Referred to as ''one of the finest living Russian writers'' by Publishers Weekly, Petrushevskaya is a very talented story teller. Her writing was banned in USSR Russia and her life has been a battle for publication.

Topshop Mini Splurge!

Only a Mini Splurge!

After my post last week about my favourite Lipstick, Lolly, I've been desperate to get to Topshop for a new sheer lipstick! I went in with every intention of buying Applause or possibly Alibi as I'd heard good things and I came out with Hunkydory and Matte nails in 'Candy Fox', I could resist! I decided not to take advantage of their current offer of free lip cream when you spend over £15 because I wasn't too keep on the shades and they had 20% off for students so my lovely Mr stepped in and I got both items for £11! 

Candy Fox and Hunky Dory

Sarah Millican @ Brighton Dome

Home Bird (and dinner at Giraffe!)

Last night I was lucky enough to go and see the wonderful Sarah Millican at the Brighton Dome. I received the tickets as a Christmas present from my amazing Mum and it was lovely to have something to look forward to mid-year. Christmas in April! 

The other reason it was so nice is because it was a date day/night for myself and Mr Matt and we always really enjoy the quality time we spend together. We went into town a little early, had a little mooch in some shops (new topshop items, to be blogged later!) and then made our way to Giraffe which is about a minute away from the venue. 

10 Sorry Tales - Mick Jackson

One of my favourites...

I've had this book for about 3 year's,  it's a firm favourite amongst my collection.  The collection of stories appealed to me initially for a number of reasons.  I love short stories, I have a rather dark sense of humour at times and, as much as I hate to admit this, I loved the cover art! I always hate admitting when I'm drawn to a book because of a cover but honestly this book is worth reading  whether the cover appeals to you or not! 

I don't really want to give too much away because with short stories you often need to interpret them in your own way. Among the characters you'll find 2 sister's who enjoy the quiet life,  a boy who fell asleep,  a hermit (wanted) and a retired man with a rowboat whose story actually moved me to tears. 

Glitter! Nails inc. Battersea

nails inc. 'Battersea' & O.P.I 'The Living Daylights'

A Little Overview!

Ok, I confess,  I do  love nails inc. I'm not a nail polish snob or anything,  I own Barry M and Rimmel and various other brands but when it comes to colour nails inc wins,  hands down.  Today's colour is Battersea, I love the deep Emerald, it's very Wizard of Oz! This is not a watery glitter polish,  it's a highly concentrated full colour glitter, I used a clear base coat (Rimmel) and applied 2 coats. I will say this, its pretty thick so apply the coats as thinly as you possibly can or you'll be waiting hours for it to dry.

Battersea

a new friend ♥

I am not a dog person.  Seriously.  They smell, they need loads of attention,  they make noise.  I prefer my animals smaller, more independent - like a cat. I do love cats ♥ 

But... out for a walk one day my Mr Matt spotted this gorgeous guy, a tiny little pug on his first ever day out for a walk and I have to admit,  he's pretty cute! He was very interested in Matt's beard and the camera but so good natured.  I've always thought pugs were kinda ... well, ugly (sorry pug lovers). However,  this one may convert me! 

My Mr Matt and Puppy Pug

Also, if this pug didn't convert me, this one might! Lola, the Pug who can't run! Oh bless her heart!  

So yeah, I don't like dogs.  Except Pugs. Maybe! 

Are you a cat or dog person? 

Collections of Curious Things

As I'm sure you can tell from my posts about Vintage fairs and rummaging through charity shops in Hove, I do love Curious things! I love to stumble across something beautiful and re- home it! Not that I'm a hoarder, quite the contrary, I clear out and organise things regularly and I hate mess and clutter. I just love little oddities and providing they have a place, a shelf or a treasure box for example, then I'm happy to take things home! I do have a few curious collections and I love them! I have a box of 'treasures' the happy little things I found at Department and Lou Lou's vintage fair (see my older posts in April for the pictures) and the newest and cutest addition to this box is Mousey:

Mousey (Normal, Sunshine filter, Retro filter)

I saw Mousey at the bottom of box of random bits, he was covered in dust and he was absolutely filthy but those big, blue, Disney like eyes called to me! a quick look at the bottom tells me he's from the 1950's and that he's a cake topper! He reminds me a bit of Jerry (like Tom and Jerry) and at 20p he's a steal! I gave him a wash in some hot soapy water using a soft old toothbrush and he looks gorgeous!

Sass & Belle Pinterest Competition

Sass & Belle

I do love Pinterest and I'm very new to the idea of competitions using this app. I follow Sass & Belle on Facebook (I love the Covent Garden shop and now I'm lucky we have one in Brighton too!) and they had written a post about their Mothers Day competition. All I had to do was follow them on Pinterest and create an inspiring Mothers Day mood board by pinning anything I like and a few bits from their website. Easy!

Well, actually, it's kinda difficult to pin about Mothers day. Christmas, Summer, Festivals and so on would be much easier but I did struggle to think of imaginative things to pin! I finally did it though and it was pretty fun to pin with purpose! You can view my board here: Mothers Day

Rose & Co Sugared Violet

Hello Lovelies!

I recently wrote a post about my little mooch in Hove and mentioned that I'd been into the gorgeous Bert's Homestore! Ooooh I do love all the gorgeous things in there but I had already told myself that I couldn't buy any more home items so when I spotted these cute item's on the shelves I was thrilled! I'd get to buy something in Bert's after all. 

They had a selection from Rose & Co. Apothecary. These products are from their Patisserie de Bain collection and Bert's stock the Strawberry Cupcake, Lemon Bon-Bon and Sugared Violet to chose from. There's no contest for me, I love Violets, the scent, the taste the colours so I was sold. 

The packaging is so gorgeous, very Vintage like and good quality. I opted for the little hand soap and the hand cream, it's the perfect size for me to take away on holiday (even though I'm not going until August!). 

They smell just like Parma Violets, the retro sweeties. The hand cream is a 36g glass jar and it's so cute! It cost £5. Texture wise, it is rich and silky. It isn't sticky at all and it 'dries' quickly, so it doesn't leave you with that slippery 'scared to pick things up' feeling! The yummy scent stayed on my hands for a while which was lovely. 

The soap is a little 85g bar, perfect for a little bathroom (or a holiday bathroom!) and, although I haven't tried it yet, it smells lovely. It cost £4 which might seem a little much for soap but I couldn't resist. 

Rose & Co. Sugared Violet

So there you have it, a happy trip to Bert's and some gorgeous little products stashed away to make my holiday a little bit more luxurious, can't wait! 

Did you used to love or hate Parma Violets?

TopShop Sheer Lipstick - Lolly

I don't really wear a lot of make-up and I tend to play it safe a lot of the time but I thought I'd share with you lovely people a few details about my favourite lipstick! It's from Topshop, retails at £8 and its a sheer lipstick, almost like a gloss but a lot less sticky. It looks great on it's own but you can also use it as a lippy topcoat. Personally I wear it on it's own, I like the way it works a bit like a lip stain and lip balm in one! It has a yummy vanilla smell and I actually love the packaging, Topshop do so well with their branding. A little goes a long way so I've had Lolly a little while now but I'm thinking of trying Applause next, it looks like the perfect summer pink!

Lolly!

Applause, Next Purchase!

Do you have a favourite Lipstick?

A Day in Hove

Becki over at The Explorer wrote a post recently about Nothing Days. A day in which to mooch. I had a little mooch down to Hove recently and thought I would share my findings. I'm normally the sort of person who heads through Hove en route to Brighton but there are always a few places that catch my eye. Namely Department Flea Market so I thought I'd stop by and check it out. 

Department:Hove (picture from Facebook)

Lou Lou's - Brighton Vintage Fair

So, I like a good rummage and I do love Vintage items. Normally I go to the Vintage Jumble sale up at Loxwood, West Sussex but it's only twice a year so I decided to check out a couple of other local fairs. Lou Lou's vintage fair is the winner of the best Vintage fair in the UK (who knew!?) and they travel around the country. They set up shop for the day in the Corn Exchange at Brighton Dome and charge £2 on the door, very reasonable considering the venue. 

In theory, according to the flyers, they should have a mix of homewares, fashion and a retro beauty salon with a pop up tea room thrown in for good measure. Personally I think the cakes are there for people like me who fall in love with a 20's flapper dress that could just about fit one of my thighs... whaaaaaa, oooooh cake! But anyway, I managed to avoid the cake on this occasion, I got there right as the doors opened - I know what Vintage shopping in Brighton can be like - and I was ready to rummage. I love that you can haggle at these events too but a word of warning, know your products. You still need to be reasonable. And you can't think you'll pay less elsewhere, this is Vintage so you might be right but you might also never see your favourite item ever again. I didn't take any of my own photo's inside, some of the sellers can be a bit funny about cameras but this is from their Facebook page and it's pretty close to the kind of thing you can expect:

Brighton Dome Corn Exchange

So as you can see, it's pretty tight and it get's very busy, very quickly! My advice, flat shoes, light layers and the smallest handbag you own with a couple of carrier bags folded up inside for all the goodies!

New to Blogging

Hello!

Well, it's here, my first blog post, how very exciting! I've had a little encouragement to start my own from a new blogger friend called Frankie. You can find her over at Curiouser and Curiouser and I suggest that you check out her lovely blog! (after reading mine first, obviously!)

'home before midnight...' is my own little place which I named after my favourite fairy tale, Cinderella. I always loved it as a child, the Disney version was obviously the first time I recall hearing the story but I also had a beautiful ladybird book which I treasured. As an adult I now collect beautiful books, I have quite a selection now! Imagine my absolute JOY when, on my book hunt last week, I see Cinderella in Waterstones window. The same edition I used to have, it has been re-issued to mark it's 50th anniversary and I couldn't be happier! (I should point out, I'm 28, not 50!) Anyway, I rushed in to buy a copy and I cannot recommend it enough. Just look at the beautiful pictures:

 They just don't illustrate book's like this any more!

So anyway, love of Cinderella aside, the other reason I picked 'home before midnight...' is because I ALWAYS am. Heck, I'm usually home by 8 haha, I'm sure anyone else out there with Lupus can relate. So that's the inspiration for the blog name explained and I can't wait to start blogging all kinds of fun things! Watch this space!

What's your favourite childhood fairy tale?
