I have a new lover...

Hes black, hes thin and oh so slick.

His name..

GHD IV hair straightening iron..

*Swoon*

Ive always envied those girls with their swishy shiny happy hair. My sad old mop has always been stuffed back into a ponytail and hidden away from the world and its prying, critical eyes.

But NO MORE! My hair is now swishy, my hair is now shiny, my hair is now FABULOUS! I can now hold my head high and do the hair flick thing that Ive always envied!

After:


Now, If I can just find somewhere nice to take my hair and an extra hour a day to actually DO it, life will be grand!

Family connections..

While Im on family, there is a great shop on Etsy called Crafty Ladies

A mother and daughter combo with a wide range of talents.
They feature everything in their shop from key chains to jewelery to knitting.
They also have another Etsy shop called A Sentimental Affair which sells a gorgeous array of bombonierre and wedding favours.

I think this is particularly lovely

Life

You should never ever give up hope.

I refused to think that I would lose my Aunty, It just wasn't possible for that little pocket rocket to be gone.

My Stepmum rang last night with news from my Dad.

My Aunty opened her eyes, made contact with my Dad and gave him a huge smile. She also raised one of her arms.

We will not know more until later today but if just proves to me that hope is a powerful tool.

Death

We have been to too many funerals lately, three this year already.
Now my Aunty has slipped into a diabetic coma and not expected to make it.

I cant believe I am about to lose my Aunty Kathy Schaf. My Dad is enroute to Portsmouth as I type. What a horrible reason to have to return home.

Keep your fingers crossed for her/us/everyone.
