Pop princess Britney Spears is joining the growing club of celebrities-turned-designers, launching her own fashion collection that targets the schoolgirl crowd.
Spears, 28, has designed her first collection of clothing and accessories for the Iconix Brand Group Inc's Candie's brand for which she has been the face for the past three seasons.
In an interview with InStyle.com, Spears explains how she came up with the ideas for the line. "First, I met with the Candie's designers and told them what my favorite styles are. Then, we sketched the items together," she explained. "I loved it when I saw the samples for the first time."
"I used a lot of studs and lace, because I wanted to make the clothes cool and edgy yet girly. I also love jeans, so I had to make sure there were some great pairs in the collection. And I love jewelry so there are a lot of fun pieces," she continued. "There are great necklaces and big earrings."
"Designing was a really fun, new way for me to express my creativity and I really wanted to create something by me for my fans," Spears said in a statement.
She said the collection, inspired by her favorite music and movies, as a mixture of day and evening looks, ranging from jeans to little black dresses.

Jennifer Hudson Breaks Her Silence About Family Murders "surreal"
Jennifer Hudson broke her silence and spoke publicly about the 2008 murder of her mother, brother and Nephew for the first time.
On last night's episode of VH1's "Behind the Music,"Jennifer Hudson revealed how she handled the emotional pain of the murders. Jennifer said, "I'd pray when I get up in the morning, and pray before I lay down at night," Hudson said of how she's managed to stay strong. "If I didn't, I'd wake up depressed."
The one-time "American Idol" contestant, who went on to win an Academy Award three years ago for a supporting role in her feature debut "Dreamgirls," said the 2008 triple-slaying was "surreal."
The bodies of Hudson's 57-year-old mother Darnell Donerson and 29-year-old brother Jason Hudson were discovered inside the home where Hudson grew up in Chicago. Her 7-year-old nephew Julian King was later found dead in a vehicle.
All three had been shot. William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister Julia, has been charged with the murders.
Not long after the murder, Hudson got engaged to David Otunga which whom she had a son last August. Her debut self-titled album went on to win a Grammy award.

The Movie Twilight Saga: Eclipse...
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse movie clip is courtesy of Summit Entertainment.
The third Twilight flick, "Eclipse," hits theaters on Wednesday. The film is popular enough to be review-proof, but that hasn't stopped the nation's critics from chiming in with their thoughts on whether "Eclipse" is worth squealing over.
Most critics can't help comparing "Eclipse" to the saga's first two flicks, "Twilight" (2008) and "New Moon" (2009). The Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt was impressed with the third film, writing, "the teen vampire series finally hits its stride with an entertaining mix of romance and action fantasy."

Einglish Actress Emma Watson Stars in Music Video Boyfriend,George Craig
Emma Watson has lent her acting talents and star power to her recent constant companion and "friend" : model and musician George Craig.
The "Harry Potter" actress stars in the new video for Craig's band One Night Only. It's for his song "Say You Don't Want It," and -- get this -- in the video, Watson and Craig both star as dogs:
Emma Watson is best known for playing the character of Hermione Granger in the popular Harry Potter film franchise. She has found herself in yet another starring role, but this time it is in a music video for her boyfriend’s One Night Only band. The 20-year-old actress’ boyfriend, rock musician George Craig, asked her to star in his band’s music video for “Say You Don’t Want It,” and she gladly obliged.
In a BBC1 interview with the pair, Watson gamely responded to the question of whether she and Craig would be taking on a couple-nickname like "Brangelina" or "Speidi." She said she wouldn't object to "Wataig," but Craig demurred. "Just call us by our real names," he said. "That'd be fine!"
However, it is eventually revealed that Craig and Watson are dogs, which they learn when they look at their reflection in the mirror. Watson addressed her contribution to One Night Only’s video, saying, “It’s kind of an ode to Lady and the Tramp, George is Tramp and I’m Lady. When I was in the states, George was taking me through a lot of his music as he was recording it.”
The actress complimented her boyfriend’s musical ability during an interview with the U.K.’s Radio 1, saying, “I couldn’t believe [how good the music was]. I’m a big fan. Everything he did was amazing.”

Hiya guys,
My last nail of the day was... god! Yonks ago. So here it is...
My last nail of the day was... god! Yonks ago. So here it is...
This is Barry M's Lemon Ice Cream
In some lights, this looks like the beautiful pale, yellow pastel colour it appears in the bottle - and in others it looks like a bright canary yellow. Either way, I love it... when i first started applying it, I wasn't sure if I would. It does take a good 3-4 coats as it's such a light colour, but I really love the outcome. I'm lovin' it for summer and I don't care if it clashes with my outfit ;)
Do you worry about your nails matching you outfit? Or could you not care less?

Sandra Bullock :Divorced
A court clerk in Austin, Texas, confirmed that the divorce between Sandra Bullock and celebrity biker was finalized Monday. She filed to end the marriage in April after reports surfaced that James had been unfaithful.Details of the settlement were sealed by the court, but Bullock's initial filing cited "discord or conflict of personalities" as grounds for the divorce.
An attorney for Bullock did not immediately return calls to The Associated Press on Tuesday, but her publicist, Cheryl Maisel, confirmed the couple's split was complete.
James' publicist, Monique Huey-Jones, declined to comment Tuesday.
It was the first marriage for Bullock, who became a devoted step mom to James' children: Sunny, 6; Jesse Jr., 12; and Chandler, 15.
Their problems surfaced in March, just days after Bullock won the best-actress Oscar for her role in "The Blind Side." She had been on a career high — her romantic comedy, "The Proposal," was a box-office smash, then she swept Hollywood's awards season for her "Blind Side" performance.
The couple was a fixture at the glittery awards shows this year. She called James "sexy" as she accepted her Screen Actor's Guild award. Backstage, he held her purse as she spoke to reporters.
Bullock told James from the stage, her voice cracking with emotion: "There's no surprise that my work got better when I met you. Because I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back." She did not thank her husband at the Academy Awards, instead dedicating her acceptance speech to mothers and parents everywhere.
Still, the couple walked hand-in-hand down Oscar's red carpet, celebrated together at the parties afterward and were photographed outside a Long Beach burger joint the next day.Ten days later, reports surfaced that James had been unfaithful while Bullock was away making her Oscar-winning film. He apologized to his wife and three children from previous relationships through a statement released by his publicist.
"It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way," he said. "This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension, and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them."
Bullock canceled appearances to promote "The Blind Side" overseas, moved out of the home she shared with James and dropped out of sight. James went to rehab, but did not reveal why he needed treatment.
Bullock in April dropped a bombshell, announcing on the cover of People magazine that she was divorcing James and had adopted a baby boy who she intended to raise as a single mother.

Megan Fox :: married Austin Green

Katie Holmes : acting as wife of JFK
The first snaps of fashionista Katie Holmes starring as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in the History Channel miniseries The Kennedys are out, and we have to admit that the actress, dressed in full costume, does a pretty damn good imitation of the real thing.
In a bouffant 'do, blue shift dress, classic pearls and a faux baby bump, Katie's copied the late first lady and fashion icon's style perfectly!

Wanted: Four Crazy Commando Challengers
To all those who have stuck by me through Part A of Mission Madness - Thank You. To any of you who are new to my mission shenanigans - Welcome. You are joining the party just in time - Phase 2 commences forthwith!
{Though I'm aware that I still have to tie up a few loose ends of the Moonwalk mission including writing long overdue thank you messages, catching up on general correspondence (particularly Maria, Vivi and Sophie - really I'm ashamed I've kept you hanging for so long - but I'm on the case - pinkie swear), clearing three months worth of debris that has accumulated on my desk, getting a gazillion sequins out of the carpet and general bill paying etc PLUS uploading a Moonwalk aftermath post from the HARE - tomorrow peeps - I promise! However, in order to maintain mission momentum AND meet an pesky event deadline; I need to press on with phase 2}
This is where you come in. TAKE NOTE!!
In order to get Phase 2 of Girl on a Mission underway, I am looking for 4 courageous (interpret: slightly crazy) souls to join me in a team event on Sunday 10th October 2010, entitled: Commando Challenge.
I should probably warn you that there is a little bit of mud and water involved as well as crawling through some submerged tunnels. Plus it will be October so perhaps not quite as gorgeous weather-wise. This is probably not for the faint-hearted or anyone who has a pathological fear of tight spaces (Me!) or cold muddy water (Me!) or tight, water-logged muddy spaces (Me, Me, Me!) but then again as I will be attempting this and I am fairly wimpish, how hard can it be? - I know, Famous Last Words!
Again I should emphasise that this is a team event, we ALL have to cross the finish line together as a team, so NO-ONE will be left behind and, I promise, NO-ONE will be slower/ feeling more inadequate than me. Really I would just LOVE to get four individuals who are willing to give it a go and who won't just give up at the first hurdle - now's the time to locate your inner cheerleader people.
For all the gory details check out: Commando Challenge
So if this sounds like something you might want to do OR you have temporarily taken leave of your senses -get in touch asap! Ideally I am hoping to get a team application in next week.
In terms of time commitments - unless you naturally have the physique of a Marine or Olympic Athlete you will probably need to put in a little effort so you feel comfortable undertaking a few press ups, squats etc and running c.10 km without passing out! However there is plenty of time and don't worry, I am a long way off from this feat of athleticism currently.
Additionally, assuming that I can put a team together - I am also hoping to organise 3 team training sessions to practise the army assault course side of things - again this will probably be a bit messy but hopefully lots of FUN (emphasis: hopefully!) but I don't want to give too much away just yet.
But what do you get in return? I appreciate that this is my mission and there is no earthly reason that you should or want to put yourselves through this for my benefit unless you are a born masochist (and then perhaps you have bigger problems?!). In fact when the lovely Emma suggested this I was horrified AND excited in equal measures and then just completely terrified when I saw the photos on the website. However this was also the sign I needed that I'd finally hit on the right challenge to get me to step the fitness and toning up another notch. After all, no-one wants to get wedged in a tunnel cos of their ginormous belly, especially not me!!!
However I can only complete this mission if I get a team together and to gently encourage/ bribe you to help me out, after very serious consideration and to demonstrate a) how much I need your assistance with this and b) to reciprocate everyone's generosity in sponsoring me for my Moonwalk Mission and to effectively put my money where my mouth is - I would like to offer each of the 4 hardy volunteers who complete the Commando Challenge with me:
a) £200 of my money to donate to a charity of their choice (and NO, in this instance, Charity does not begin at home!!)
b) An all expenses paid team night out on the toon as a MASSIVE THANK YOU.
I know that for this sort of money, I could probably ship myself off to a luxury bootcamp for 2 weeks - but sadly its just not my style. (Plus I wish I could justify spending this much on a holiday!) I also want to make it clear that this offer does not make you beholden to me in any way - it is really just a way to make sure that I give 110% to phase 2 and that you equally have a miniscule bit of inspiration to get training.
If, by some miracle, MORE than 4 people volunteer for this mission - by all means you can join in as there is no upper limit to the team and I would love to have you on board - but I sadly cannot afford to pledge more that £800 to the cause - my altruism/emergency chocolate fund only extends so far!! An invitation to a celebratory night out (fingers crossed I and the still-to-be-sourced crew make it!) however is assured to all who participate. x

This could be you!
The event is effectively a 3km run, followed by a 4km assault course and finished off with another little 3km run. EASY PEASY - I know you're all thinking!! So what's the catch?Mud bath anyone?
Apparently these are affectionately known as "the Smartie Tubes"!

'Most Powerful' Celebrity : Oprah Winfrey Named 'Most Powerful' Celeb
OPRAH Winfrey has been named the world’s most powerful celebrity.
This year, Oprah Winfrey is back atop the list for the fourth time.
The TV star — who fronts The Oprah Winfrey Show and is the president of media company Harpo Productions — has topped the annual Most Powerful Celebrity poll conducted by Forbes magazine, knocking Angelina Jolie off the top spot with earnings of $315 million last year.
Winfrey was followed by singer Beyonce Knowles, "Avatar" director James Cameron, newcomer Lady Gaga and disgraced golfer Tiger Woods.
The Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity list looks at wealth, TV/radio popularity, press rank, web rank and social status — with even Twitter followers being taken into consideration.
The 2010 poll placed Twilight star Robert Pattinson on the list for the first time, in 50th position following the success of the vampire movies, and after earning $17 million last year.
Despite a tumultuous year in her personal life, Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock was placed eighth in the poll after pocketing $56 million in the past 12 months. She was just behind golfer Tiger Woods, who was placed fifth, Britney Spears, sixth, and rock band U2 — consisting of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. — who were placed seventh.

Actress Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green get married
Megan Fox's publicist confirmed Tuesday the actress married her longtime beau, actor Brian Austin Green, in Hawaii during the weekend.
The 24-year-old sex symbol wed her longtime boyfriend, Brian Austin Green, 36, in Hawaii June 24, according to their reps. Green's 8-year-old son, Kassius, attended the small, private ceremony held at the Four Seasons hotel on Hawaii's Big Island.
It is the first marriage for both Green and Fox, who recently go re-engaged at the same hotel on June 1. Though some reports said they had called off their first engagement four years ago, Fox told reporters earlier this month that they'd been engaged this whole time. She also, however, swore that she and Green wouldn't get married for "years."
The couple, who have tattoos of each other's names and share custody of a potbellied pig, dogs, two cats, two birds and a squirrel, first met in 2004 on the set of "Hope & Faith" and have dated on and off ever since. Fox has been vocal about her preference for older men. "Boys in their 20s are a waste of time," she explained to Elle. "They have nothing to offer conversationally. They're immature. I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his 30s."

Sandra Bullock : Actress Sandra Bullock's divorce from Jesse James is final
Sandra Bullock and love rat Jesse James have finalised their divorce, marking the end of their five year marriage.
The 45-year-old actress first filed for divorce in April, stating that the couple's nearly five-year marriage had become "insupportable" following reports of infidelity by James.
The reason for the split was citied as a 'discord or conflict of personalities' as the official divorce settlement allows Bullock to complete the adopting of her son Louis as a single parent.
Sandra adopted the child from New Orleans with Jesse before he was outed as a cheat for starting an 11 month affair with heavily tattooed model Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee.
Jesse recently broke his silence on their split claiming: "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way."

Wishlist
Hey beautifuls,
I was thinking the other day, about how I haven't been wanting much recently... and how long ago it was I compiled a 'wishlist'. Which then, of course, resulted in me writing up a whole list of things I wanted (and clearly wasn't even aware of wanting) lol! I thought I'd share with you guys incase one of them were rubbish, or really are a necessity to add to my collection!Body Shop Body Brush
I've always known the 'effects' of body brushing, but I'd never fully believed it. But after reading very glowing reviews about this brush in particular on a number of blogs, including Laura's, I just really want to get into it and see what it can do for that pesky orange peel on the back of my very upper thigh!
Vanilla + Dewberry Perfume Oils
Apparently they last a long time? Somebody let me know :) I'm looking for a new summer fragrance but want to try one of these out.
MAC Blushes in Dollymix and Harmony
I have two spaces to fill in my blush palette, and from looking at swatches I think these two would fit in just perfectly!
MAC Lipsticks in Costa Chic and Creme D'Nude
As the sun becomes a much more frequent thing, the appearance of Costa Chic is making me very jelous! It's the perfect coral. As for Creme D'Nude, the melting tragedies just haven't put me off. Has there ever been a more perfect nude?
Large Vented Rollers
I'm always trying to find ways of getting cute and easy hairstyles without too much heat. I only used rollers once, and they weren't very good... however, I'm willing to give them another try in a bid to get volumous, summer hair minus the heat!

U.S singer Lady Gaga Debuts New Song
Lady GaGa debuted a new song called You And I at Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara ball last week.
"This is a brand-new record that no one's ever heard before ... ever," she said while seated at one of her signature deconstructed pianos and wearing a bedazzled black bra and panties with black boots. "And I've never, ever played it live, ever."
On her Twitter, she described "You and I" as a "new song ... written in NY on the piano I grew up on."
She wasn't kidding about the song having a rock edge, as the tune eschewed most of her dance flavor, right down to a rollicking barrelhouse piano solo, during which she stood up on the piano bench and bashed out some John-worthy runs on the black and whites. She finished the tune crouched on the bench, wailing, "You and I," while pumping her fist, before giving it a big finish that included kicking a heel up on the keyboard and lying across the piano bench with her head on the ground.
Gaga also took the stage in a wheelchair with her chest covered in fake blood and accompanied by an oiled-up male dancer for a run through "Alejandro," and she performed her ballad "Speechless." During the latter, John came out and joined her for a dueling-pianos showdown, trading off verses on the tune dedicated to Gaga's dad and then reprising their Grammys duet with a snippet of his hit "Your Song," during which he improvised the line, "I hope you don't mind that I wrote down in words/ How wonderful life is with Gaga in the world."

BET Awards 2010:BET Awards to honor Prince
June 15 /PRNewswire/ Dearly Beloved on June 27 we will gather at the Shrine Auditorium and mark the 10 year anniversary of the hottest award show in cable television, the BET AWARDS. This year, BET will honor the musical legacy and genius that is Prince as the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, an honor bestowed to the most significant and influential individuals in music history.
The 52-year-old Minneapolis native was feted Sunday night at the BET Awards in the Los Angeles with an all-female musical tribute.
In a purple button-up, black slacks and vest, Trey sang his recent hit "Yo Side of the Bed" atop a stage bathed in purple lights. The track's video, featuring Keri Hilson as a military officer and Trey as her mourning husband after she's killed in the line of duty, played in the background on large screens. During the performance, Trey gave a shout-out to all who've lost a special someone.
Janelle Monae offered an energetic take on "Let's Go Crazy." Jazz musician Esperanza Spalding accompanied herself on standup bass for "If I Was Your Girlfriend." Alicia Keys started behind the piano, then climbed on top of it, when she sang "Adore," and Patti LaBelle kicked off her shoes to give her all to "Purple Rain."
The singer then launched into the first verse of Prince's 1984 classic "Purple Rain" from the film of the same name. As Trey strained to hit falsetto notes almost on his knees, the camera cut to Prince himself seated in the audience looking on.
"We are humbled that Prince will be our lifetime achievement award recipient," said Stephen G. Hill, President of Programming, Music and Specials. "Genre smasher, virtuoso musician, one of the most emotional singers of all time; words are too weak to describe just what he means to our culture. We have a different kind of tribute planned for him as his unique style deserves a unique honor. Prince is dynamic. Prince is genius. Prince is music."
Earlier in the evening, the Virginia native won the award for Best Male R&B Artist and brought his mother onstage with him to accept his trophy. Following the awards show, BET will debut Trey's documentary "My Moment," which follows the singer during Jay-Z's recent Blueprint 3 Tour.
Prince started recording in 1977 and has 10 platinum albums and 30 Top 40 singles to his name.

Actress Kristen Stewart & Rob Pattinson "All Over Each Other"
A source tells E! News that the undercover couple was "all over each other" while attending a rooftop party at the Thompson Hotel.
And we're talking full on PDA here, Twi-hards, not just hand-holding. "They were kissing, nuzzling, holding hands and embracing," the source tells us.
More platonic partygoers included Taylor Lautner and the rest of the cast, who entered the bash through the back entrance. This is the second year in a row they've celebrated at the hotel.

The beaaaaautiful blogger that gave me the award is Dollface. She has a bunch of great reviews and her posts really vary - something that I adore. So thank you sooo much :D Much love to you!

I hope (and I think) it helps to brighten other people's day, and I love that I sometimes have that ability to turn a negative situation into a slightly more positive one that people can laugh about. I have no problem with taking the piss out of myself!

It's taken me a long time to get to this place, but I'm here now ;) And if only everyone could get to that place in theirs lives - the world would be much better!
I'm in love with this picture - my Dad is the absolute entire world to me. He inspires me, he motivates me, he believes in me and he makes me laugh! He is honestly one of my best friends, and if he wasn't in my life - it wouldn't bear thinking about! I love you daddy!! And he also hates having pictures taken so this is extra special to me!

R&B singer Alicia Keys proudly showed off her baby bump Friday while performing on ABC's Good Morning America.
The 29-year-old multiple Grammy winner is currently on tour in Europe, and is scheduled to perform at the football World Cup in South Africa next month. Her baby's due date was not known, and a record-label spokeswoman did not immediately reply to an email seeking more information.
Keys is engaged to 31-year producer/rapper Swiss Beatz, a.k.a. Kasseem Dean, who already has a son from his first marriage. The reports said they would tie the knot during a private ceremony.

Debbie Gibson : will Fight with Tiffany for *Mega Python vs. Gataroid.* movie
Pop-stars Debbie Gibson and Tiffany are set to battle it out in a new Syfy signature Saturday night original movie called Mega Python vs. Gataroid.
Debbie will play a fanatical animal-rights activist who frees illegally imported exotic snakes from pet stores, sending them into the Everglades, where they grow to mega sizes. Tiffany will play an overzealous park ranger who uses dangerous methods to save endangered alligators.
Both singers previously have been cast in Syfy originals but never have appeared together.
The film, which features the pair brawling at a party and then in a swamp, will start filming this month and is slated to air next year.
“They loved the idea of taking this perceived rivalry and having some fun with it,” Executive Vice President Thomas Vitale said. “The catfight on Dynasty was a seminal TV moment and it’s time to re-create that for a new generation.”

Robert Pattinson - Robert Pattinson says Kristen Stewart "A Real Woman"
ROBERT Pattinson says Kristen Stewart became a “real woman” while filming the third Twilight movie, Eclipse.
The 'Twilight Saga' actor - who stars as vampire Edward Cullen opposite his rumoured girlfriend, who plays Bella Swan in the movie franchise - enjoys seeing how much the 20-year-old screen beauty has changed since filming began and claims they are so close, they no longer need to communicate verbally.
“What I especially like about her is that she’s like me, not dizzy from fans and press attention,” he told the Russian edition of Grazia magazine.
"We understand each other without the words. I can tell Kristen about all my problems. But honestly I don't have to. because she's in same position as I am."
For a minute in the interview Rob begins to win us over, talking about Kristen's sincerity as one of the things he loves best about her: "Kristen really cares about me and I'm very grateful for this. She's the most honest and genuine person I've ever met. She always listens and gives good advice regardless of her own interests."
But then he throws us off, saying that he doesn't think love lasts forever: "The idea seems strange to me," Pattinson said. "It's so boring to spend your whole life with the same person." Does Kristen know your feelings about this?! Nothing like learning it from a foreign magazine interview!
Despite his feelings for Kristen, Robert doesn't believe in eternal love.

Fans around the world marks the first anniversary of Michael Jackson's death
A year after Michael Jackson's death caused a worldwide outpouring of shock, tears and tributes, the anniversary of his passing was being marked Friday on a quieter scale, as fans remembered their fallen King of Pop with vigils, prayer and, of course, music.
"Michael has just always been a part of my life," the 40-year-old Thomas, who has a tattoo of Jackson's dancing feet on her left wrist, said Thursday night. "I'm just hoping to embrace the fans from everywhere."Friday, DJ Jon Quick was to spin Jackson tunes at the club Taj in Manhattan for a festive affair.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009, at age 50 as he was preparing for a series of comeback concerts in London. Dr. Conrad Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death for administering the powerful anesthetic propofol to Jackson to help the pop star sleep.
At Jackson's final resting place at Forest Lawn in Glendale. Calif., hundreds of fans, some weeping, filed past barricades to get close to the mausoleum where Jackson is interred Friday morning. Some carried bouquets, others were armed with cameras to document the moment.
"We are really honored to have played a part in launching Michael's musical career and to serve as a gathering place for people to come and celebrate his lifetime of achievement," said Jonelle Procope, Apollo president and CEO.
Yugi Aoki, 33, of Tokyo, came with 13 other Japanese fans of the pop star. They were all wearing sparkling gloves and fedora hats, one of Jackson's signature looks. Aoki smiled as he described how Jackson influenced him: "Michael Jackson changed myself. We love his dancing and songs."
Jackson's family members were expected to arrive at the cemetery later in the day, said his brother, Randy Jackson.

Hubris.
If only!!!!
Goodness. I may have been a tad too happy about my recent accomplishment of achieving post-exercise, pain-free nirvana.
Whilst it seems I can powerwalk a marathon overnight with no unwanted side-effects, my pride at jogging for 30 minutes on Tuesday evening has been followed by a swift and brutal crash-landing back down to the reality of unfit, althetic impersonators.
Somehow in the delight of learning to sustain a discernable jog over a distance of more than 200 yards, it seems I have temporarily lost the ability to walk in a fluid motion across a space of two meters. So, I've basically been out of action exercise-wise for the last three days. Really, trully I’m very sad!
MY LEGS ARE SOOOO STIFF. Going down stairs is a total nightmare - especially when you’ve just been lectured at for nearly 2 hours. Toilet breaks are also requiring a total leap of faith - but so far, thankfully, I haven't ended up on the cubicle floor - YET.
Here I’m getting a strangest feeling of deja vu – I’m sure I said almost exactly this when I was just starting out on this mission initially, many moons ago and yet here I am again in exactly the same conundrum.
It seems that for all the immense progress that I’ve made and I'm the first to admit that I have done brilliantly - I have been dreaming about getting myself out of the 12 stone range for YEARS and I have not only done it, I'm nearly also out of the 11 stone range too *Fireworks*. Unfortunately I am still a bit away from being categorised as a "healthy weight" and personally I still need to achieve a little more to get myself where I want to be physically and aesthetically – I’d be kidding myself if I didn’t want to look just a little more “W.O.W.” than “Has she had a haircut, she looks different?”
However, I also do need this mammoth "get fit and fabulous mission” to come to a definitive end point and move on to just enjoying an active and healthy lifestyle – if only for the sake of my sanity – So, in a moment of amnesia perhaps, I’ve decided to set myself ONE final fitness challenge for later this summer.
Next week, post family holiday jubilation, Girl on a Mission will embark on STAGE 2 – Last (FAT) Chance Saloon.
All details will be revealed next week, but Sergeant Emma may just have struck gold!! (p.s. I promise it won’t involve sponsoring me) x
p.p.s. Never fear - the post marathon jubilation has not deserted me just yet - I plan on basking in my newfound athletic fabulousness (present hobbling aside) and wear my cherished medal all holiday long -guaranteed to drive the family crazy!!!!
17 Freebie
Afternoon honeys,
So yesterday I put up my review on the 17 mirror shine lipsticks - which you can find here. And I also mentioned that which those purchases I got a free gift... Travel Make up kit.It comes in this beautiful little postcard box! Everything inside was also wrapped up in hot pink tissue paper. I love little details like that. Anyway, onto what was inside and my thoughts on them so far.
You get 3 make up items, and a little something else (shown at the end), all of which are really great items, and worth spending the £6 for :)
The first thing up is this waterproof mascara. The wand is pretty standard - nothing special, but nothing terrible. It's not full size though, which I think works to it's advantage. If you're going on holiday this year, this a great little thing to take. On holiday I personally only use waterproof mascara round the pool, and in the evening I'll use my usual mascara. If you dont wanna pay out for some waterproof mascara and don't want anything too big - this is a gem!
Next up is this Fast Finish nail polish, in the beautiful colour 'grapefruit'. It reminds me of a pinker version of Barry M's Pink Flamingo. I tried this out on a nail as soon as I got it, and... I adore it! The application was amazing, very easy, brush is the right size, the consistency is good too. I don't know whether the speed is any different to any others... but ah well. This colour is going to be my favourite for the summer! Suits all skin tones, and will look especially good with a tan. I'll definitely be picking up some more colours.
The last make up item is the 'volumous' lip gloss, that also claims to be 'colour intense'. Colour intense? It really is!! This swatch was just one swipe, and it's totally opaque. It kind of has a bit of irradescent shimmer, but I personally like that... it's not volumous though, it's just like any other lipgloss. This is in the shade Pink Ice.
Lastly, you get this little voucher. It entitles you to 100 points on your Boots advantage card when you spend £5 or more on 17 brand products - perrrrrfect reason to go and get me some more nail polishes!
Have you picked up on this deal yet? I really reccomend it. It's totally opened me up to the brand, which I'd never owned before. Give it a try!!
