Hey guys, so i've been wondering whether or not to publish this post for a little while now, and i've come to the conclusion that it's important that we all know the threats of these internet copyright acts going around at the moment. If you're not interested in these current changes, i hope you enjoyed the pretty pictures while you still can! Some of you may be aware that SOPA and PIPA was recently withdrawn, (here fore more info), However ACTA which is 10x worse is now in motion.
These video's are really good at explaining the act itself:
However, if this act passes, what i literally just did by sharing links with you guys would mark me as a criminal.
For example, i've recently been liking images on tumblr which i think are too adorable not to share (above), but if ACTA passes, tumblr itself wouldn't be able to function as a social networking site, let alone twitter, youtube, facebook and even OUR BLOGS!
Although this act has already been signed, the deal is not yet done. First it needs to be ratified by the European parliament and this decision will be made in June this year so we need to say NO to ACTA before the internet as we know it becomes a censored mess. If you want to do your part, spread the word about ACTA, call you local MP's, write letters, posters, make songs or videos! Just do whatever you can to protect our freedom as we know it.
I believe in a FREE internet!
Sorry for the seriousness of this post, a lighthearted glossybox review should be on it's way to you guys in the next couple of days!
First off, i hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I've really enjoyed seeing some of your gift posts, everyone sounds as though they got some wonderful pressies! I also got spoilt by my wonderful boyfriend and family and had a lovely day as well. In fact, my Christmas day is sort of split into three, because in the morning i'm at mums house and we open stockings, eat an early Christmas lunch followed by tree presents. Next I dash of to Mike's house to have yet another lunch with his family and open presents, then finally we head down to see my Dad for yet more food and presents! If you follow me on twitter then you'll know that this year was slightly different for me because we bought dad a beautiful kitten for Christmas and had to go and pick up the little sweetheart. Anyway, i've decided to do a two part post beginning with some of the stocking fillers i received this year!
Very lucky stocking! I also got a scratch card and 20p! But won nothing :(
First off, you can really go wrong with LUSH goodies can you? I received the bath bomb in rose jam, and i'm serious - It smells amazing! The little heart decoration is a really pretty air freshener and i also got a really sweet vintage storage tin which i think i'll use for odd bits of jewellery.
In my stocking this year, i also received the OPI Texas Lil Shooters. The colours you get inside are L-R "I Want To Be A Lone-Star" "Austin-Tatious Turquoise" "Do you think i'm Tex-y" and a top coat. Today i tried the first one and it's a lovely baby blue/grey. I really loved this little gift!
My stocking also contained these pretty flip-flops, which i believe came from Accessorize, and a cute sleeping mask for when I get optic migraines.
To go with the flip-flops, santa also brought me some sunglasses also from Accessorize. The cute birdie ornament is a small photo frame which I'll display in my window sill and for a bit of fun, I got some popping candy!
This cute tea light holder will be also be displayed in my window sill and I think it was such a cute little gift!
Finally, I was given a pair of cute tights and some lip balm inside a sweet flower case.
Stockings are my absolute favourite part of the day, and i love sitting with my family in our PJ's on Christmas morning. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. Much love, xoxo
Right guys, it's 1.20am and i'm heading out to the airport in about an hour so this is a quick, excitable goodbye as i head out to the (hopefully sunny) city of Barcelona. I'm back next Tues/Weds so it's supposedly like a long weekend away with the arty 6th form students of the school. Anyway i'm not abandoning my blog, i just won't be able to post for a few days! Feel free to stay in touch through twitter, all messages are welcome :) I'll try and find an internet cafe at some point, but no promises!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend and i'll let you all know about Barca when i get home.
So if you follow me on Twitter, you will know about my pretty new bag! I bought it in the charity shop where i volunteer, Tenovus, for a nifty fiver. It's good as new as well, clearly has been very well kept.
It's a really good size too actually, unfortunately not quite big enough for 6th form with all the books this year :/ Anyway, i've decided to do one of the famous, "What's in your bag?" posts. I know, original right? Enjoy!
1.Typical lipsticks/lip glosses in my compact make up bag.
2. Car keys with my super cute owl keyring that mum bought for me when i passed my test back in May :) 3. My iPhone.
1. Cream Puff matte lip gloss in Powder Puff - £2.99 from Collection 2000 2. Bobbi Brown creamy lip colour in Crystal Pink - £18 from Bobbi Brown 3. Sexy Mother Pucker in Candy Gloss - £4-5 from Boots, Soap and Glory
1. The latest Glamour magazine. 2. My Purse - This was a gift bought from a little local gift shop.
1. My umbrella - Also a birthday gift from River Island.
2. My old iPod - I've literally only just transferred music onto my iPhone finally so this is still lingering around in my bag!
3. Post-It's and a pen - You never know when they'll come in handy!
1. Tenovus cancer badge - A friend and I are arranging a sponsored event for the charity to go ahead in July 2012 so we've had lots of meeting with reps etc hence why I have one of their badges.
2. My New Look gift cards - Need to spend these!
3. My car tax forms.. It's that time again :/
4. William Blake - Songs of Innocence and Experience. I'm studying it in English at the moment, his poems are very inspiring! Have a read if you get the chance.
So that's what's in my bag! Hope you're all having a good weekend!
