slag, slut, whore, slapper, skank, hooker, tramp, tart, hoe and promiscuous.
These are only a few of the many words thrown at women (and of course men, but in this case I'm writing about women) by men, but even sadder is the fact that other women are actually referring to one another in this way. Now I will admit, as everyone has in the past I will have been out and seen a women do something that to me is pretty foul but as I have grown in age and also as a person I have learnt this is no way to act towards anyone! Never judge a book by it's cover and all that malarkey.

Now in the media and in society in general, women are portrayed as needing to be pretty little feminine things that should be "seen and not heard" now LUCKILY, this is changing and it's absolutely fab that everyone is allowed to be the person that they want to be. However, I still think that deep down a large number of people still think women should be women and men should be men. Now don't get me wrong; I wear make up and do my hair and dress in skirts and pretty things, but I also like to wear shirts and jeans and go out looking like poo without being judged and talking openly about sex like men do without being considered disgusting.

I think sex especially is a huge taboo subject still and I know a lot of people feel uncomfortable talking about it, and some of you will probably feel uncomfortable reading this. I understand to a lot of people it is very private and obviously I keep my love life and sex life to myself, but I have been brought up by my parents to be open and honest and this is something I will encourage my children to do if I have them. I know a lot of people have always been confused by how openly I will speak about this area, with friends and family. Of course I have lines and boundaries of what I say and what I don't, but if men can joke about sex with their friends then why can't women? 

What disgusts me the most is that, women should stick up for one another. If a girl likes to have sex and considers her own safety and the safety of others, then in all honesty what is she actually doing wrong? N-O-T-H-I-N-G. If a girl wants to save herself for marriage and is still a virgin at 23 WHO CARES, these are not the qualities we should judge people on. You should never judge someone because of how they dress or how they act as it is their body and their choice and as human beings we should respect this. 

I can handle when a man insults me, yeah it sucks but who cares really? However, when another female decides to tell me or others around me that I am a slag or whore and that I have 'no morals' that is when I start to get peeved. What gives you the right, to go around and judge me because I am not the same as you? Being confident around men and being confident within myself as a person and my sexuality does now mean that I am a slag or a lesbian or anything else. That is another thing that annoys me, if you tell a female she is attractive the automatic thing is "oh she is obviously a lesbian" NO YOU ARE JUST ATTRACTIVE NEXT TIME I WON'T BOTHER TRYING TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS YOU UNGRATEFUL GREMLIN. 

As a teenager; I hated myself. I seriously hated myself, I'd look at myself and just sob because I was so disgusting to myself. I looked like shit, and thus constantly belittled myself and told myself I was ugly. Now I am an adult and have learnt more about myself, I have learnt that actually I am not ugly. I am beautiful on the inside, I don't judge people for who they are, if you need my help and I don't even know you I will be up until 4 in the morning trying to help you, I will make myself look like the biggest moron EVER just to see you crack a smile. So yes; I am no Mila Kunis, but I am beautiful in that I can now look at myself and think "yeah I'm alright" and because I am now comfortable with myself people think this makes me some sort of dirty prostitute? No, it doesn't work like that. 

If you are a man who voices your opinions on how women should dress and act, SHUT UP. You are not a women, nor will you ever experience being a women. I don't care if you don't like my leggins and if you think that all girl's should be 'natural' then ask why a girl stops making an effort if she doesn't do anything with her appearance. If you are a female who voices your opinions on women, KEEP THEM TO YOURSELVES. You wouldn't like if a female came up to you and said "you're speaking confidently to a group of men, you're such a tramp" nonononoNO it doesn't work like that. Also if you EVER use anything a women wears, says or does to justify rape or sexual/domestic abuse; You need to reevaluate your life and stop acting like you are perfect, because trust me sweetheart. You aren't.
I'm sorry that this has been such a rant post, but it is one subject I feel strongly about. I am sick and tired of women feeling that no matter what they do is wrong; if you're shy and hide your body then you're frigid and don't try hard enough and 'no man will want you' and if you actually think 'I am a beautiful queen bee' and feel good about yourself then you are a disgrace. So ladies (and gents) stop making each other feel like shit please.

 I don't have a lot of pictures from my childhood, my mum mainly has them. I have a few and these are some of my favourites that I picked out of my box, how hilarious was I?! Me and a friend have just said by looking at these photos you can actually see I've never been a normal person in my life. I just find that I was a bit of an ugly kid, but cute ugly if that makes any sense; especially the bottom one look at the little smooshy face!















 These are a few bits from my school years that stood out the most; at the top is the card I received when I did my work experience at school. I got to go and help teach kids which is something I've always been VERY passionate about and I can honestly say I've never enjoyed myself more then when I was working with those kids. This one particular class I got very attached to and I came into the classroom and they gave me this card and some chocolate and I honestly stood and cried because I was so touched (they were all very confused). The second photo is from my prom, I can honestly say I hated prom but that was my personal opinion! This was my ticket and corsage from the night. At the bottom when before I went to high school we all got to make these little booklets and it just makes me laugh reading through them because the comments are just such a giggle!
























At the top is a little perfume bottle that my mum brought me back from her honeymoon to Prague and I love it because it's just so beautiful and it's one thing I see myself keeping until I die, maybe I'll even pass it down. It's not financially valuable, but personally it means a hell of a lot! The second is a letter that I received when I was younger from someone who was very important in my life, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever received and one day when I was extremely emotional over something I actually ripped up the whole letter and regretted it immediately. I gathered up all the pieces and put them back in the envelope and they are still in there to this day! (I luckily didn't rip the drawing with it thank GOD) although it's all in the past, I still like to keep the letter as it means a lot to me. In the next photo is one of the first presents my younger sister ever chose for me herself; there doesn't really need to be an explanation as to why that's special. Lastly is a picture I have of my uncle who my family unfortunately lost a few years back, I'd experienced loss and death before this but this hit me especially hard and I honestly still struggle a lot of the time with it now, but that's life for you.

5- I love a good shirt! The satin material of this particularly shirt really appealed to me as I just think it would feel really nice when wearing it and comfort is key in clothing, I also like the simple polka-dot pattern it has. I initially thought they were like little suns, but clearly my eye sight is gradually going.

This is a product I originally bought towards the end of December, but I've actually already repurchased it last week. I really like this product and I didn't expect to as I hadn't heard amazing things about it, so I was prepared to be let down. Last month I was having a lot of problems with my skin, and as my skin is one thing I never have a big problem with it was starting to get me down. So I bought quite a few products for my face and this little gem was one of them.

I did a post like this the other month and really enjoyed sharing some of the music I'm loving at the moment with you guys, so I thought I'd do it again just because I love sharing music with people. I think music is one of the best things in the world and so before I start rambling here is some stuff that I adore right now!
This song is called "stay alive" and it's by Jose Gonzalez, it's actually on the soundtrack for the newly released film 'The secret life of Walter Mitty' which I haven't seen yet (boo!) but this song is just so beautiful and uplifting and if you're having a bit of a down day, check out this song. It's just a really really nice song!

I love Childish Gambino, he is seriously a really awesome rapper and I feel that 2014 is going to be his year! 3005 is such a tune and I just sit in my room and rap/sing it to myself, slightly embarrassing but no shame because it is so good. If you like it you should absolutely check out his other stuff; I recommend 'you see me' and 'the worst guys'.
This song is by hozier and I honestly, I can't even explain the love that I have for this song. I can't get bored of it, I listen to it about 20 times in a day. Andrew's voice makes me feel all fluttery and warm inside (he is also so beautiful that I want to cry) and it's just an amazing song I LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE LOVE.
I'm not even going to explain this one, I just love this song so much. Rick Ross is so cool, no shame. If you have a problem with explicit language PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS, there is a lot of swearing in it so if you listen and you're disgusted then on your own head be it, I have warned you!
  In all honesty, I really don't like Jake Bugg. I'm sorry if you're a huge fan of him, but I just don't like his songs and I think as a person in the media he comes across a very petty little boy (I could be completely wrong, but this is my perception). HOWEVER, this song I actually really really love and I think if he did more stuff like this I would probably like him a lot more. His more 'over-played' songs I just really don't like, if you're a Jake Bugg fan and you know other songs of his like this then please let me know!

I hope you lovely people enjoy this music as much as I do! If you have any songs that you think I might like then PLEASE send them to me, I love all music so don't worry about what genre it is!

Fair warning, this is going to be a ramble type post and I apologize in advance but some of you may enjoy reading it who knows!
