Memories

Hi Everyone!

So it's been a while since I've been online, (since last July), and I'm back!
A lot has happened since my last post. Life has been a rollercoaster. When I last posted I was pregnant with my second child, and since then I have given birth to my beautiful Son Phoenix Luke Lupin. I have also welcomed a gorgeous Goddaughter into my life called Isla-Grace, and I am no less obsessed with Harry Potter than I was before. In fact, I have added more collectibles to my shrine!

Anyways, I have created a video collage with some images of my life from the past 12 months, just click on the link "memories" below. Enjoy and I'll be back soon.

Harry Potter Book Launch

As you know I went to the launch of the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script book last night, and it was an amazing evening! We had quizzes, cakes, and there were so many fans dressed in amazing costumes.
I just wanted to share some pictures of my night. Enjoy.

HarryPotter and the Cursed Child Book Launch

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!! I have been waiting for this since I pre-ordered in February. Tonight, at bookstores all across the country, the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script book is being released. I am wearing a few of my Harry Potter clothing items, Hermione's Time-Turner necklace, my Snitch bracelet, my Gryffindor scarf and my sons Harry Potter costume glasses! I've painted a few things on my face; the golden snitch, the deathly hallows symbol, and of course, Harry Potters scar. I've also painted my nails the colours of Gryffindor... red and gold!

I am literally so ecstatic and can barely contain my excitement. The store opens in just over 4 hours and I will be getting there early so I can get first dibs on the Harry Potter items they will also be selling!

Next thing after this is waiting for tickets to the actual play, which will be released on August 4th. This is the year for Potterheads all over!

Now please excuse me, I have just had a lightbulb moment and am also going to go paint my lips red and gold...

Enjoy your night everyone!

The Panty Challenge

So, I'm sure many of you heard of the #pantychallenge that appeared on social media last month. Personally, I was very disturbed by it. It all started with a woman from Atlanta, Georgia posting a photo of her squeaky clean underwear, claiming that other women were "jealous of my clean knickers". Now, let me just reassure you all that labelling vaginal discharge as "gross", "unhealthy" or "disgusting" is nothing but highly misleading. It is body-shaming at a whole new level. The fact that other women joined in on the wanna-be trend by 'boasting' about their so called 'clean vaginas' makes me rather disappointed and ashamed. Why do some of us women feel the need to put down others? Why do we feel the need to shame someone because they are different? What example are we setting for the young women who will follow us into adulthood?

But besides the body-shaming aspect, what concerns me is the misleading information being handed out about the female genitalia. The #pantychallenge gives the impression that vaginal discharge is something to be embarrassed about. It is suggesting that it is unhealthy, and that if you happen to experience it, then you are unclean. This couldn't be further from the truth! Vaginal discharge typically begins when a female reaches puberty. It is the vaginas way of cleaning itself, protecting against bacteria and infections such as thrush. It is perfectly natural and is in no way anything to be ashamed of. Every woman's body is different, and therefore every woman's discharge is different. The only time you should be worried is if it is discoloured, an extremely different texture to usual, and/or has a strong smell.

I'd like to include an article written on Pink Parcel's blog on the matter, and have included some images below of some tweets by people who have stood up against the #pantychallenge. I would like to encourage you all to be proud of your body. Never let anyone shame you into thinking that you are not normal! You are beautiful, and we women must stand strong against body-shamers and all those who look to tear us down!

Make Up Tutorial

Hi Everyone! So today I'm going to post a new make-up tutorial, but not my own. This is one I found on YouTube by Kathleen Lights. I loved the look and decided to give it a go. I don't pull it off as well as she does though. But I'm still very happy with the result. It includes the cats-eye eyeliner look which I don't usually go for. Anyway, check out Kathleen's video using the link below.

New Nail Polish

So I recently bought two new nail polishes from Barry M, exclusive to Boots, and I love them! I have sometimes found that other Barry M polishes are too thick but these ones are perfect. So I wanted to introduce you all to them so you can enjoy them yourself.

New Addition to the Family

So today was very exciting. We have a new addition to the family, something my Son has wanted for a rather long time. We now have a gorgeous little kitten, and we have named him Harry (obviously). It took him a while to get settled into his new home, he spent about an hour in the kitchen crying out. But then he has spent the rest of the afternoon snuggled up with me and my Son, purring away, and has also taken a fancy to my lovely Greek rug! We are so happy to have him as part of our family. Say hello to Harry...
