As most of you know I am a bit of a tattoo fanatic, and recently I wanted to get a character from a film which is my favourite animation of all time.
The body is actually full black, but the shine of the cream says otherwise. 
Excuse the redness and shine to the picture, but it's hard to get a decent picture of a tattoo when it's covered in cream! This is now my fifth tattoo, and my first film related one - I would eventually love to cover my leg in Ghibli characters as all the films mean so much to me.

I do not think tattoos have to mean anything as none of my others do I just adore the way they look, however this one means so much to me on a personal level and I am happy with the outcome.

Do you have any tattoos?

I have spent the past few days playing the beauty that is Child of Light - now I was one of the only people who did not let themselves look too much into the game before playing. I saw one trailer and instantly knew I'd fall in love with it, so I stopped myself from peaking to give myself more of a surprise when the release came round.

So the three of us have decided to try and get fitter for the summer this year! It's going to be a hard one but we are all joining the gym and are going to try and shed our christmas pounds.

We don't really want to post before and after weights on here but we all have a goal that we want to stick to.

We will all be keeping a track of our progress on our personal twitter accounts so please support us in our new venture.

Amy is currently training to run the 5K Race for Life in June, check out her progress here!

If you have any good diet or workout tips and tricks then please let us know in the comment section below!

So it was my birthday in March and now I want to set myself 25 small goals before I reach the big two five.

  1. Try and read at least 50 books (this should be a piece of cake) : 21/50
  2. Graduate from university
  3. Go on a mini-break or day excursion to somewhere in Europe. 
  4. Get out of my overdraft (this will be the most least likely of them all)
  5. Go to five events:  7/5 booked already (MCM, EGX, Chromeo, Derren Brown, Distant Worlds, British Summer Time, Blink 182, & Harry Potter Tour)
  6. Lose at least 2 stone in weight (6lb down)
  7. Write a screenplay for a short film
  8. Improve my html skills and make our blog sexy
  9. Take more pictures of me and my better half
  10. Move out (unlikely)
  11. Rebuild friendships which have lost their way over the past year   ✓
  12. Upgrade my DSLR/equipment and make a short film
  13. Give blood
  14. Run 5k (signed up for the 5k race for life on June 15th) We raised almost £500 and I ran it in 33 minutes!
  15. Visit euro Disney (possibly in October with the rest of the Glim Glam ladies)
  16. Volunteer (signed up for a careers day at an elderly home on 25th April)   ✓
  17. Stay up all night and watch the sunrise
  18. Watch 365 films (one for each day of the year) 95/365
  19. Go to a midnight screening of a movie
  20. See the northern lights
  21. Visit somewhere in Europe (Amsterdam with my ladies in August) 
  22. Go to various places I haven't been before (Kew Gardens, Hadleigh 'Rare Breeds' Farm, Madame Tussauds, London Ice Bar)
  23. Make sure I tell my parents/siblings I love them as much as I possibly can
  24. Go to the lake district for my 25th birthday
  25. Take pictures of all these events and keep them in a scrap book. (Currently uploading to my 2014 dropbox folder)
So these are a little more of a personal goal list for me, I totally understand I won't be able to do all of these, but I would love to just be able to spend more time away from technology and doing more activities.

I'm forever searching for the perfect mascara. I have fair, short, natural lashes and don't particularly like wearing falsies as I find them extremely uncomfortable. I recently picked this up while in Boots and thought I'd give it a go - I hadn't heard a lot about this mascara but as it's packaging was promising 'x12 volume' I was intrigued.

Was I going to turn down a chance to see The Raid 2 weeks before it's released in the UK, when the director Gareth Evans and lead star Iko Uwais, DUH! Of course not. To put it simply - this is possibly the best action/martial arts film I've ever seen! Thanks to Film4 Fright Fest for organising this event!

Max Factor Facefinity All-Day Primer*

I'm all about primers at the moment. There is nothing worse than applying your foundation to perfection, only for it to have rubbed/melted/fallen off your face by midday. Max Factor Facefinity All-Day Primer is the latest addition to my collection.

So as most of you should be aware by now we all like to spend a lot of money on 'geek' fashion, this ranges from various leggings, t-shirts and even dresses we have. We get asked where we get all of our clothes from - so we thought we would list our top online shops!

Fuelled by cheesy poofs, you’re the new kid in town just looking to make friends. Thrown in at the deep end, you meet Cartman and friends who are on a quest to take back the Stick of Truth from the Elves (Kyle and his friends). You know, because if you have the Stick of Truth you control the Universe….duh!

You are the first ever Ninja, fighting Space Robot Nazi's in under 10 seconds per level! What more could you want from a game?



We managed to get an interview with the creator of the game BAFTA award winner Dan Pearce to ask him a few more questions about the game and how it came to be.

23 February 2014

The past two weeks I have had a bit of a splurge in the gaming department - however the only one I've really played is Fable Anniversary as I've been completely bed-bound ill with the flu. I am really enjoying Fable and will write up a review once I've completed it!

One of my favourite websites is currently running an offer for Dungeon Keeper Gold (the old version).

Check it out!

The game consists of you constructing a dungeon, filling it up with various monsters and killing the 'invaders' or 'heroes' trying to dungeon crawl through it. GOG have made this beauty free until 17th February in a celebration of valentines day and what more could you want out of your day in all honesty? It is available on both Windows and Mac. 
They have also discount Dungeon Keeper 2! 
Go on give it a try and have a wonderful Valentines day, we plan on spending our evening gaming and eating, how about you?
