Désolé...

Drunk?

Bonjour encore!
Evidémment, je n'ai pas écrit récement...pour un mois je pense...

Ouais, je ne devrais pas dire en français maintenant...ce n'est pas utile pour les gens qui ne parlent pas français...J'imagine que je pourrais dire le même chose pour les gens qui ne parlent pas en anglais...

Encore...désolé...je ne crois pas ma grammaire est correct mais ce n'est pas la fin de la monde ou est-ce que?

...I'm sorry I've not been blogging lately (if you care).
I've of course been really busy working and studying...and seeing friends and other such things....

Ohai

Looking drunk and happy with Sammy.

Well, there's not much to tell you really... I guess first of all I've been to Leeds to see Dive Bella Dive.
Few photo's from the night... (from friends' cameras...I forgot mine).














Anyway, in other news...

Yesterday I went to YO! Sushi with friends...


I also ended up buying loads of food from the Chinese supermarket so I can make yummy meals, hurrah!

Something I live on at the moment is Omurice（オムライス）(which I need to stray away from) 。
Basically it's chicken rice inside an omelette with ketchup/tomato sauce...it's really good. Takes a while to cook I suppose (but that's probably because I take more time using a rice cooker).
I might show you how I make my Omurice in another post later on...

I also took a trip to Lush in Leeds and came out with a few new products, reviews are to come guys...





To end this lovely post I'll leave you some photos of my pooch Ozzy...

Little Scruff ¬_¬

It's taken about a week but he's finally walking on the lead and we go for really long walks now...bless him.

Merci beaucoup encore mes amis (Thanks for reading).

Bisous

Autumn.

Well hello mes amis! 
I've been tagged by lovely Rachel to answer some questions about autumn, so here you go, enjoy...

1. It's finally autumn, what are you most looking forward to this season?
Probably the cold weather. I bet you're thinking 'WHAT? WHY?' Well, I don't like the hot weather in the summer (if we get any summertime), I much prefer the cold and getting snuggled under my covers at night. Plus, when autumn-time begins, that means it's closer to winter and therefore Christmas (my favourite time of year).

2. Which autumn item in your closet are you most looking forward to pulling out?
Probably my jumpers that my granddad donated to me last winter, they're really fluffy and warm and best for the very very cold months, I also really like to pull out my boot cuffs and Russian style hat (basically anything fluffy and really warm does the trick).


3. Since Halloween is the first holiday to celebrate, we all get treated with a horror movie marathon all month long. What is your favourite scary movie to watch?
I'm a real horror movie lover and I have quite a large collection. The first scary movie I saw was Nightmare on Elm Street directed by Wes Craven. I bought the box set and was completely hooked, I also have a little obsession with the Saw movies (again I have them all). Others I really like are 'The Hills Have Eyes', 'Child's Play', 'The Grudge' (Japanese version) and 'Orphan'.



4. What is your favourite autumn treat?
Well, I love caramel Macchiatos from Starbucks (like Rachel) and also the white chocolate mochas but I mostly look forward to gingerbread lattes at Christmas.

5. Now that summer is finally over, what will you miss about it?
Probably like Rachel said, daylight hours. It's hard to juggle full time work with a puppy, I've got a lack of hours with him through the week as it is, and the days closing in means I get less time to play with him *sad face*.

6. Which make-up/beauty products do you love for autumn?
I'm not really into tonnes of make-up, just the essentials. I love nail polish but obviously I can't wear it through the week when I'm working but non-the-less I'd go for a nice orange/red colour and paint my nails variations of autumn.

7. What have you recently bought in preparation for the autumn season?
Nothing in particular, as sad as it is, I've bought lots of socks and slippers because my feet get really cold when it starts getting into autumn.

8. Have you ever been trick or treating?
Yes, I used to go practically every year, normally as a witch or more recently a scary doll (I covered myself in lace and fake blood and wore a patterned pink dress). I normally go to my aunt and uncle's for Halloween and meet up with family so it's always good.

9. Name the first five things that come to mind when you think of autumn...
Trees (obviously), Bobble hats, hot water bottles, lay-ins and candles....

10. What is your favourite season and why?
Probably winter because I like cold weather, in particular snow and because in winter we have the best holiday, Christmas! I really love Christmas...

So there you go, hope you enjoyed reading this post, I'm going to tag Jess but anyone that would like to do this tag is welcome to. Hopefully I'll be blogging again soon, probably including a lot of photos of Ozzy...

I'll leave you with a music video...this one was uploaded recently and I'm hooked.

Lucky stars tutorial.

Bonjour mes amis, ça va?
Or in english, Hello my friends how are you?
I've finally gotten round to doing something which I've wanted to do for a while.
A lucky star tutorial!

In case you've not realised I like crafts, particularly origami.
So for this, all you'll need is some strips of paper, which can either be made yourself or found in some craft shops (don't hold me to that) or where I bought mine, a Chinese/Japanese gift shop.
If you want to make your own then I think cutting them of a width between 1cm-2cm and around 30cm in length.

So, let's start.

First, get yourself a strip of paper and put it down with the white side facing up.
Hold one end of the paper while you loop the other end round and through the loop to make a knot.

Pull both ends of paper so there is only a small part of paper sticking out of the knot on the left, squash the knot down so it's flat. Then flip the knot over and tuck the bit of paper into the knot shape.
If you turn the paper over it should look like a pentagon with a long strip of paper coming out of the bottom (see photo). Take the end of the paper and fold it over to the left of the pentagon.

After folding the paper to the left, turn the pentagon over and then fold to the right (which should feel automatic because of the angle of the paper). Continue this until there is a small amount of paper left to be folded (see photo).

Turn the pentagon shape over and tuck the extra bit of paper into the shape (see photo).
Then pinch each side of the pentagon and your lucky star is finished.
Make lots of these little cuties and pop em' in a jar or use them to make presents look fancy.
I hope my tutorial was helpful and thanks for reading. More tutorials to come.

Merci beaucoup, bisous

Beckie
