Hello friday! how truly do i love you.

True reasons why im happy!!

♥ My contest entry featured on makeupbag and a lovely comment from Erika! Check it out here and her fab blog!check out my contest entry and her fab blog also you can see my fave products there too.

♥ The weekend is here!

♥ Tumblr is my new addiction, i love posting all those saved up pictures - here is mine! Inspired Kickingcouture!

♥ The insane ammount of products im being sent to review for you guys! Something from revlon :) and a huge box of CandySpa goodies ( i have huge news regards this, just have to wait until it comes!)

♥ Last but not least, True Blood!!!! is on tonight. Can you say addict, im loving anything vampireish.


Ok enough of that.

I wish we had a holt renfrew in the UK, sadly its a canda only store like aritzia! But how stunning do the olsen twins look at opening of their line.
Ashley has always been my favourite twin. A fun fact for you guys, i used to obsessed with them when i was younger, and even now i can always tell them apart. Ashley on the right, Marykate on left! Im so copying that outfit ashley is wearing, just need some cute shorts, wouldn't it look cute with minnetonka's.

So we have alot of catching up to do, some haulage. I've been incredibly busy, back to school shopping and a certain animal in my life. Ive been looking after a horse at the yard where my mother's friend has a horse. Woah that was a mouthful!, anyway his name is blake and hes the most divine well mannered horse ever, im having a lesson tomorrow after 4 years not having riden!! So freaking excited, its lovely to be around horses again.

Haulage!

Shampooey and conditioner, from tigi, my hair has been a nightmare lately due to dryness from all the dying. Im trying to get to peak condition, using protein treatment, no heat and an good haircare! I'd like to add its been three weeks since i've used my CHI's!


Clinique's even better foundation - i've been needing something more than my tinted moisturiser and this seemed the perfect solution as its a medium coverage and it evens out your skin tone over time!!

Mac 239 brush- OMG you have to get this! £17's is a lot for a brush and ive always chickened out when buying! But it struck me the other day, whats the point of spending lots on makeup if the tools you use dont show them to their advantage!! It makes eyeshadow application better, smoother and it looks stunning!!

Essie- Finally arrived!! From left to right, funny face, lovie dovie and wicked! Better than opi!

Not a detailed and great post but i promise i have some exciting things to review soon!

xoxo

Usain Bolt - 200m - World Record - 19.19 Secs

Usain Bolt is on a world record breaking spree!!

After running the 100m dash at the Berlin World Championship in 9.58 seconds, Usain was on track to win the 200m race too.

He did it in style - cross the finishing line in only 19.19 seconds - a cool 0.11 seconds off his last world mark.

Catch the race below

Only God and Usain Bolt know where the world record for 100m and 200m are heading!!

Exciting news, once i get to 100 followers, im having a giveaway!! International too!

Travel Tales

By God's grace, I have traveled to some really wonderful places - across India and the World!!

Here is a glimpse of some pictures (some of which i may not have taken) - but are here because they depict the beauty and magic of the place in the best possible way.

Starting with Shanghai, China. - Here's a view of Shanghai and its magnificent Pearl Tower situated on the bank of the Huangpu River.

Then to Mauritius, a great country with amazing beaches and superb blue water!!

A voyage to Russia - to the eastern city of Moscow. Got a glimpse of the famous Red Square, The Kremlin and The St. Basil's Cathedral.

And to the Indian cities of Nainital and Agra.



And here's a quote which summarizes it all

"Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quiestest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey." - Pat Conroy

Usain Bolt - 100m in 9.58 Seconds

Usain Bolt - of Jamaica - created a World Record yesterday by running the 100m dash in the Berlin World Championship in 9.58 seconds.

With this, he became the first man on earth to run sub 9.6 seconds. This is no extraordinary feat considering that a decade back the World Rcord was the 9.85 seconds mark!!

Needless to say, he had great competiton in the final from Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell - and great competitors propel athletes to great heights.

Catch the Videos here

A short and sweet 100 m dash


And a slightly detailed version


Usain bolt however thinks that he can cross the ultimate barrier for humans - running sub 9.5 seconds!!

A Moment S'il vous plaît!

Well, that's how my blog name would like in French.

And in some more languages as below!!

In German, it would be Einen Moment bitte!

In Hindi, it would be एक पल कृपया!!

In Italian, it would be Un momento per favore!

In Russian, it would look like A Момент Пожалуйста!!

And finally in Spanish, it would be Un momento por favor!

Interesting isn't it - one word, one thought and so many different ways to express it!!

Usain Bolt - Beijing 2008 Olympics

Here are the video recordings of Usain Bolt's historic runs at the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

He set the world record in the 100m dash, the 200m sprint and the 4 by 100m relay - an exceptional performance to say the least.

Catch the videos from the Olympics here

100m dash

200m sprint


And the 4 by 100m relay


A time will come soon when someone will run the 100m dash in less than 9 1/2 seconds...

Sunday's Loves and Hates

LOVES

Vitamin water, I've been chugging this like crazy! However i only like the dragonfruit one !

Revlon Plum Seduction, Im addicted to this raspberry magenta colour which is impossible to show the true colour on camera. Bella Pallete from the twilight makeup range, i saw this beautiful thing on http://spoiledpretty.blogspot.com/2009/08/twilight-beauty-product-photos.html and im simply going to have to have it! November please come soon.

NYC Prep, gossip girl come to life! I love the bitchiness and the obvious trying to be just like gossipgirl but hey, i cant stop watching it. PC, wouldnt he be a great shopping pal! and Kelli, somehow she reminds me of blair.

Hates

- Postman, my postman is the lazy, arsey man you will ever meet, we dont get post until 11:30am, and often dont get post everyday! Did i mention he drives up our 20 feet drive!

- Benefit 10 powder, for some reason my much loved bronzer looks wierd on me!

- Milk, Gives me a stomach ache if i have to much! Bye bye beloved ice caramel latte and hot chocolate.

Obsession - nail polish

Some women love a spritz of perfume, or gorgeous underwear to make them feel pretty, moi i love nail polish. Looking down at my hands, and seeing perfectly manicured nails adding a pop of colour.

Im so much of an addict that i went into Boots for some shampoo and conditioner to tame those locks of mine and accidently a nail polish popped into my basket. Usually im a nail polish snob, i only tend to buy from Essie or OPI but this Revlon sucker was pure seduction, hence the name " Plum Seduction". Somehow it manages to be a purpley, pinky raspberry colour, which when applied, pure and simply looks darling.

See..

I've ordered some nail polishes for winter,
a simple bubblegum pink- Essie Lovie Dovie
A bright pale creme raspberry- Essie Funny Face
Deep blackened berry red - Essie Wicked

Gorgeous no?

Check out my to read list!


Oh and im now the proud owner of,

~~Ahhhh!! The Iphone 3GS, in white!! I would have had to waited a week for it to arrive online and my carphonewarehouse was a week's wait too. But a spur of the moment shopping trip caused the iphone to be mine! my O2 shop had it in stock, i really couldnt contain my excitement, like opening a present at christmas. All i have to say is that, once you get an iphone you will never go back!

Pressing Play

I've made a vow not to use the word " So" as much, because really i use it too much.

Wondering what this post is about?

Outfits, using my hauls, more about myself.


Topic Uno

On the 3rd of Septemeber, im finally pressing play on my life, after being 3 years stuck on pause. Those three years of being homeschooled, not sure if you guys knew that, are finally coming an end. My life is changing, im starting sixth form, making new friends, enjoying life to it fullest. Ditching those old sweats and tee, to waking up everyday wearing what i want!
There is so many things i wonder,
" Will i be liked?"
" Will i do good in school?"
" Will i fit in?"

Its a daunting and exciting thing all rolled into one, with so so many things to do!
Seriously, its going to be something so new for me, im going to be working my butt off to get the grades and catch up, partying with new friends, guys and keeping up with blog.

I hope i wont neglect you, blog and readers but this is such an important part of my life, you cant even understand, this 2 years define what i do for my future, who i am. There's things that people would not need to do, like buying a keychain, a new phone ( mine died last year and i didnt really need it), Lots of new shoes as im more of a flipflop or uggs kind of girl. Stationary!clothes also i desperatley need to find a job!

This is really the first part of alot of hauls!
I Bought these from delias, the minnetonka's were on sale for... $50!!! thats half price. I also bought some Essie polishes in Wicked, lovie dovie and funny face.




I feel like bella, from twilight.

Let loose, be yourself always

Concealer- mac studio finish ( my favourite too)
Bronzer - Nars pressed powder in heat
Mascara - Ysl faux cils
