Karen Carpenter

Yesterday I watched a film about the life of the legend that is Karen Carpenter. The Carpenters mean a lot to me because they were one of my very first samples of pop music. As a child I used to go round to my nan's house, sit next to her CD player and play all their records. My nanny Peggy used to love them and in return I loved them too. Karen Carpenter had a voice like velvet and there is simply no-one that can compare to her; she was unique and their songs are timeless.

I knew that during her time in the limelight she developed anorexia but the film provided a proper insight in to the reasons behind her disorder. It was sad to watch but at the same time it did give out a good message. I am currently dieting and trying to loose weight but I know it is important to keep control of your habits and stay healthy, however I don't think I will ever be prone to anorexia simply because I love food too much! But the film does deliver a good example of just how important it is not to slip in to bad eating habits. Karen tragically died at the age of just 32 because of the impact of anorexia but she will always remain a musical inspiration to me, she was beautiful, it's just a shame she could never see it herself .

New hair :)

I got my hair did like last week....thought id post a picture. Highlights and fringe! I always think about what it would be like to go brunette but then I don't think id be me if I weren't blonde. I think you always feel better about yourself with a new doo. I've been going to my hairdresser Jasmin since I were 16 and she never fails to please. So thankyou Jasmin :)

The Beach

Yesterday was a good day, completely random trip to the beach and it was wonderful. Sun, sand, sea, picnic, magazines and my lovely boyfriend. What more could you need?

Homeward Bound

Deary me it has been a while since I last updated this and seeing as im having a quiet night in this is the perfect opportunity! Well I have fully finished my 3 years at Brookes and no longer have to worry about any assignments and it really is the best feeling :) Im settling back in to life back in Telford although I am missing my Uni friends alot, it's gonna take some time to fully adjust but at the moment I am really as happy as can be.

I havn't started my new job yet because the council are being very slow about sorting documents out so im just biding my time really, but at the same time i am enjoying having some time off! Tomorrow im catching up with one of my oldest friends Jacqui, I havn't seen her in months so were going for lunch then in the evening she is having a Shoe party at her house which im very excited about and hopefully I shall be making some very nice purchases.

I've had a nice day today visiting my sister in Wales she's moving back home on Friday so the Poole residence will be in full swing for the summer :) I love going to visit her and having a wonder around her second home. Today we had a chippy lunch, went for a look around all these lovely boutique shops, a walk by the beach, played on the 2p machines in the arcade and had a drink on the Pier!

Im curled up in bed right now getting some hillarious txts off my friends who are out in Wolves right now but I didn't get back till late so I couldn't join them booooo. BUT there is still Thursday night at Varsity :) xxxxx
