So yesterday I went in to Leeds town centre with my friend B. I'm making a jewelry holder and I wanted some lace trim to put around the edge. I'll put a post up when I'm finished to show you what it's like. So anyway the lace was something cheap-tacular like 39pence or something like that from a stall in Leeds market. But then I thought I could do with some nice new jewelry, and seeing as though i'm a cheap skate we headed to Primark.
So here's what I got.
A feather necklace, I'm loving feathers at the moment and I thought this was too cute :) Thought it would look nice with a little black dress. This was £4.
Then I got this bracelet, at first I thought the necklace and bracelet were like a set but then realized that the feathers are different colours, but ohwell no one will tell :) this was a bargain price of £2.50!!
I thought this was gorgeous!! It's way more sparkly in real life, stupid lighting in my room made it impossible to make it look good. I only just realized when i got home that I bought it in large :/ but I'll just have to wear it on my index (peter pointer ;) ) finger.As you can see this was £2
The next thing i got was in the sale, down to just £1!!! Bargain :P I love this snake ring, I did mean to get this in a large as I think it looks super cute worn on the thumb. This is possibly my favorite buy of the day.
Actually scratch that!! The snake ring is my 2nd favorite purchase, this beauty is my favorite. This gorgeous pocket watch necklace, the chain is pretty long and I know that the clock is going to stop working within like 3 days, but i couldn't help myself. How pretty is it!? And all for £4, win.
And finally these gorgeous dip-dye effect earrings that fade from black to grey, sort of like obre hair! :) Love them. These were £1.50 :) lovely
I hope you have a fabulous day, and I hope the weather is a lot better than it is here in Leeds, it's piggin awful!!

Worst 2 days of my life, ever.
I'm feeling so drained right now. The past two days have been absolutely miserable. I was out yesterday with my papa and step-mama when i got the worse text ever. My Daniel had been in a car crash. My heart was literally in my mouth. I seriously came close to having a panic attack. I text him and rang him like 5 million times and got no answer, by this time i was completely hysterical. Was he okay?? Was he hurt?
It took him like 2 hours to finally get back to me, the LONGEST 2 hours of my life. Thankfully he was okay, and so was everyone else involved! What a relief.
He was very shaken up as you could imagine. He was upset about his car being written off, but I said to him you have walked away from a terrible pile up with your life, just be thankful for that. A car is a piece of metal, it can be replaced, you cannot. So that was pretty crappy.
And I wont go in to the details of today as it's a bit more personal but it was horrible, upsetting, furious and exhausting.
Right now i'm just trying to relax, take a step back and realize that things could of been so much worse.
And after that horribly miserable post, here is something to make you smile and hopefully bring a bit of laughter to your day . .
Smile!!!!
This made me giggle!

Empty Cup
Blugh. Do you know that feeling, where you go to reach for your drink, only to find out it's empty? Well this just happened to me. So I know what you're thinking. So what? Just go get another? Well I can't. I am bed ridden.
I recently dislocated me knee cap. . . for the THIRD time.
![]() |
My lovely splint |
How did I do it?
1st time: Rock climbing- a hobby that I used to love, but I guess I'm a bit afraid to do because of my 'manky' knee. I have my boyfriend to thank for that lovely term
2nd time: Dodge ball. Ha! I love how these two things make me sound sporty. Trust me I'm not, I was forced into playing by my lovely P.E teacher, Thank you Mrs Russel! As embarrassing as it is i technically wasn't even playing, I was 'out' and round the sides I went to pick up a ball and err, dislocated me knee cap
3rd time: Kicking my bad out the way "hangs head in shame". Yes, really. This is how stupidly 'manky' my knee is. Even something stupid like that makes it jump out of place.
Did it hurt? Yes.
I digress. The fact my cup was empty pretty much reflects how I'm feeling today, stuck in my house, with nothing much to do. I feel like an empty cup.I. Feel. Bleugh.
On a lighter note something stupidly amusing happened last night, I fell asleep on the sofa with Daniel. When he woke me up to tell me to go to bed -so romantic- I replied by saying, "you need to put the book in the freezer." . . . WHAT!? Daniel thought it was highly amusing but as I just woke up and was extremely grouchy the fact he was laughing and suggesting I was talking a load of poppy-cock made me really mad, leading to me shouting at my boyfriend that he has to put the book in the freezer.Yes it's one of those times where you wake up and have no idea what your doing. http://momtionary.blogspot.com calls it 'Night confusion' (check out her blog, it's hilarious!) Anyway I read that and i realise it's a 'you had to be there moment' and sounds completely bland, Sorry guys!
Well that's about all I have left to say. How about you? Are you a full or empty cup today? Let me know!
Hayley.

PS. I have just had a bout of hiccups, I hate them with a passion. Especially as they make me sound like one of those squeaky rubber chickens you give to a dog.

Introducing, Me!
Seeing as though I'm new to blogging I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Hayley Finella Newham (yes, it's an unusual middle name, don't blame me I didn't pick it!) I'm from West Yorkshire in England. As with many bloggers my main focus will be on reviewing beauty products. I think it's hard to find honest reviews on products and I'm one of those people who read reviews before I buy anything!
I'm not sure what the actual aim of having this blog is? It could be just like an online diary. I tried to start a real diary once. To say it didn't go well is an understatement. Besides nothing really interesting happens in my life!
Boy, do I know how to sell myself or what? One thing I do love to do is scrap booking, so this could be my online scrap book.
Anyway I'm always talking about new products I buy, (and I confess that I probably buy way too much) so I decided to put my thoughts up on here. My new blog. Ahh :)
I've read a few online blogs before but one that I loved is http://schoee.blogspot.com/. Her posts are so interesting to read if you haven't already done so, you should definitely check her blog out. And she kind of inspired me to do one myself. Cheese or what?
