1) Hurrah. This is the last Sunday Tittle Tattle that will ever be affected by essays, MA research, anything involving copious amounts of reading or editing… The dissertation and 15,000 words of polished-up fiction is nearly complete. D-Day is Wednesday. Everything is backed up on my little USB stick (above) and guarded by a plastic…
1) With just ten days to go until dissertation “D-Day” I have found that my brain is increasingly unresponsive to anything that isn’t cute and frivolous. It’s as though my mind has had enough of serious matters (narrative devices, literary theory and so on) and simply wants to go to sleep in a hammock. Or…
1) Um. Not much to report, here, at all. Still “researching” my dissertation. I have barely left the house and am starting to feel like one of those Arctic explorers who write diary entries that get increasingly bizarre and nonsensical as the weeks go by. At the moment, I’m living in the world of Thomas…
Bit thin on the ground, again, I’m afraid, as I am now properly buried in my MA work with no light at the end of the tunnel! I haven’t even properly planned out my dissertation yet – I’m still finishing my coursework! Eeek. I want to find some cheeky, chirpy things to say to you…
1) Love this press release that I got sent through from Beauty Mart; it’s for a fake tan remover. It’s basically a rough sponge, I think, that buffs away the colour – it’s called the Beauty Bronze Buffer. Has any one used it? Does it work? I shall have to get hold of one and give…
1) I am pleased to announce that this week I have actually managed to get some work done! I KNOW! I owe it all to a certain computer application called the Freedom App. Recommended to me by my booker at Models1, Josy, and also by a few of my Twitter friends, it has totally changed…
I know that my monthly favourite videos tend to be a bit sporadic, but I’ve managed to pull myself together and so here’s my pick of latest beauty discoveries in full technicolor. Rather unusually, I’m wearing bright red lipstick – like or no like? I quite enjoyed it for a little change… In terms of…
I’m sorry that these Sunday Tittle Tattles are a little “thin” – I’d love to regale you with tales of wild parties and trips to far-flung places, but I’d be lying. I’m currently a slave to the Microsoft Word document, unfortunately, plod-plodding away on my keyboard, writing about historical fiction and something else that as…
This is how I look and feel. Drained. You?
1) This week, I am proud to announce that I have made NO PURCHASES. Try not to die of shock. I’m actually about to return a few things from the week before – just little jersey tops from H&M, but they’re not great quality and every penny counts! Pretty soon you’ll see the start of…
1) Our very own British Beauty Blogger (BBB) has created a beauty box (the BBB-BB?!) and it’s on sale from today. There are only 500 available and each contains a selection of British Beauty Blogger‘s top makeup and skincare product finds – some of them full size. You can see a full list of products on…
1) Dissertation Update: 2) No, that wasn’t a mistake. There is literally nothing to report. See picture of the cat – it pretty much sums up the amount of activity my dissertation notes have seen. I have done nothing. What I have done, however, is managed to buy a few more things on ASOS. I think I…
1) Sorry this Sunday Tittle Tattle is late (a day late if you’re reading on the Daily Fix!) but I was out at IMATS yesterday for much longer than I thought I’d be. IMATS, for those who may not know, is a makeup artistry trade show held in Kensington Olympia. I hosted a social media…
1) Dissertation update: let’s not even go there. See the keys in the picture above? I need them to magically start pressing themselves. And not just to enter my credit card number into checkout pages! (See Friday’s post.) I have no idea why I put it upon myself to do an MA in what has turned out…
Sunday Tittle Tattle (noun?): everything from the week that I have forgotten to post about, in easy brunch-sized chunks… 1) Dissertation Update: words written, zero. Words of research read? Twelve. Books ordered on Amazon that are completely unrelated and only ordered as a distraction? ELEVEN. 2) What’s in the Maje bag, you’re wondering? And I…
1) Dissertation update: words of essay notes written, zero. Words of research read? Zero. Number of hours spent moaning to people about having to write my dissertation? 8. 2) Short and rather pointless Tittle Tattle this week because I’m off to Cambridge to have dinner with my cousin. He’s a Fellow and apparently all of the…
1) From Tuesday next week (28th May) jeans designer Donna Ida is starting the Denim Drive. You can take in an old pair of jeans and you’ll get a £20 voucher towards a new pair! (My pick would be Paige Verdugo – I now have three pairs and they last forever. They are really comfy but…
Sunday Tittle Tattle (noun?): everything from the week that I have forgotten to post about, in easy brunch-sized chunks… What’s been going on this week, I wonder? 1) I have decided to write my dissertation for my Masters Degree on Wolf Hall. (Above,) If you haven’t read this book yet, and you love historical novels, then…
