A look back at 2013

Hi Beauts.

2012 was a pretty bad year for me, so when 2013 rolled around I knew I had to make it great.And pretty great it was.
I've had so much fun this past year, I don't think I've laughed so much. So today, I wanted to share some of the fun times with you all. Enjoy:

The Christmas TAG

Hi Beauts.

I recently got tagged by the lovely Teresa to do 'The Christmas TAG' I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year (not that I don't usually) but I think this year could be a good one :D

Anyway, on with the post:

1: Do you prefer real Christmas trees or synthetic?

We've never had a real tree, always synthetic. So I'm going to go with synthetic

2: Your in a coffee shop, in December, what do you pick?

I'm addicted to toffee nut lattes from Starbucks, and a salted caramel and cream latte from Costa

3: What's your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?

Probably the traditional red, green and gold. Just because it's so Christmassy

4: Giving or receiving?

As much as I love getting prezzies, I love buying for others so much more

5: To mince or not to mince?

Definitely not to mince. I say that and I've never actually tried a mince pie. Maybe that should be my Christmas day mission.........

6: What's your traditional Sunday lunch?

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, broccoli, turnip and sprouts (Oh yes, sprouts are on there........yack)

7: Christmas day fashion?

I usually wear what ever new clothes I got for Christmas, or a Christmas Tshirt. This year I'm definitely buying a Christmas jumper.Yup, I'm gonna be THAT person....Christmas jumper, funky reindeer hat the lot!

8: What's your favourite Christmas song?

All I want for Christmas is yoooooooooooooooooooou <3 Yes, you! ;)

9: What's your favourite Christmas film?

It has to be The Grinch. I absolutely LOVE that film. 

10: Open presents before or after lunch?

Before. There ain't NO WAY I could wait until after, I'm such a child!

Thanks again Teresa for tagging me, I loved doing this!! :) I TAG you alllllll mwaahahaha

Life's a beach

Sunday 28th July 2013

'Under the sea..........'

Hi Beauts.

Usually the sound of the rain belting down on the windows on a Sunday morning is calming, relaxing.....oh wait! Not in the summer it isn't! Damn you English weather! 

Today we had so many fun plans: Tea and cake in a little tea room, the aquarium in Tynemouth, chips on the beach, building sandcastles (once again, I assure you I'm in my 20's!) and topping it all off with ice cream. Well sod you rain we did it anyway.

First stop was a cool little tearoom not far from Tynemouth metro station called Rene's for a pot of tea and a fruit scone, such ladies we are :P

After we'd fueled up on tea we headed down along the seafront in the direction of the Blue reef aquarium. And I'd like to point out by this time the sun had put his hat on :D

Now one thing I'm going to point out about the aquarium is that I personally think it's overpriced. It's £9.00 for an adult and it literally takes about 15-20 minutes to walk around the whole place. That aside, I do think it's a great day out and I tell ya that's the only time I want to ever get so close to a shark. I think my favourite part was the glass tunnel, even though it's a really short tunnel it's amazing to have sting rays and sharks swim overhead. There's also a huge 'pool' where the seals are and they have big windows around it so you can watch them all swim about. If the weather's nice, they also allow you to go up to the top where the pool is open and stand around watching the seals pop their little heads up. Cuteness right there!

We then decided that because the weather had eventually turned itself around, we'd walk to cullercoats and sit on the beach with a bag of chips. Any trip to the beach (as you may well know now) isn't complete without a) a bucket and spade b) a plodge in the sea c) building sandcastles Obviously all of those things did happen. You're only as old as you feel right?

I didn't realise at the time, but hello scary face in the cave!!!

To finish off what had been a Funday Sunday, we walked along the seafront to Whitley Bay and had ice cream. Once again I was daring and instead of vanilla I had.......liquorice  and Blackcurrent. HEAVEN on a cone it was delicious!! And a little weird.

If you don't do anything stupid when you're young, you won't remember anything funny when you're old
