<br />
<span style="color: black;">
i only feel like i can actually write about this having lost a few pounds recently. whilst i'm a huge supporter of <a href="http://wishwishwish.net/2014/08/lets-talk-body-image/">carrie's wonderful body image post</a>, i can only dream of being this confident about how i look. i'm tired of looking in the mirror and wondering how i'd look if there wasn't as much thigh present or, how much more comfortable i'd be if i wasn't so conscious of how my nose looked. i'm not going to list every imperfection i see because you've probably got something else to do besides read this! however, i will just say i've been taking part in exercising and eating better and i'm starting to see some positive changes that might just start my road to a more positive body image… who knows?! but in the words of the amazing rupaul "if you can't love yourself how the hell are you gonna to love somebody else?".<br />

i'm always making changes throughout my room as i'm desperate for a place of my own to get decorating. however, for now my little sanctuary will simply have to do! finally a <a href="http://www.homesense.com/">home sense</a> has opened in cheltenham and on my first trip i bought the two crates above that i just adore. mooey also loves taking trips to home sense because <a href="http://instagram.com/p/szRZqoN-4i/">he gets to ride in the trolleys</a>!<br />

i've really enjoyed embracing the early grandma in me and have starting cross stitching a lot more. whilst i'm stuck on recreating a pattern for the <a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41igSz%2B2YuL.jpg">submarine soundtrack track list</a>, there is something highly addictive about those little crosses. be careful of cross stitch abuse, it's a thing.<br />

<br />
finally after dropping out of university last year i've begun again! so far it's been considerably more enjoyable than last year and i'm genuinely excited to see what the course has in store. i've begun marketing, advertising and branding which i feel out of my depth in but in a really good way that i have so much to learn and expand on.<br />

<br />
and lastly i've been exploring a lot more clothing wise! whilst i probably shouldn't because i'm in the process of loosing weight and having to but lots on depop (username: lfmason). but hey it's been really fun! this afternoon i'm off to topshop having spotted some gorgeous pieces that will probably end up in a post as soon as possible.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;">
i'm moo a 10 weeks (and 2 days) old baby boy pomeranian! people call me my full name, moomin, when i'm naughty and baby moo when i'm being cute. my mummy tells me i get my name from the tove jansson comics and even though i don't look like a moomin i like it. i moved to my new forever home on sunday 3rd august after squeezing my way through the baby gate to chew on <a href="http://instagram.com/p/qhPhg5t-wG/?modal=true">lily's favourite shoes</a>, it was love at first <strike>sight </strike> nibble. i like long naps in small spaces but, i don't like having to wear a collar with a bell on and i still don't understand why the cats don't like me *hmph*. anyway, i'm looking forward to sharing lots more of my moomin stories on miaou or never, even if mummy won't change it to woof or never.<br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">so yes i've introduced yet after blogging distraction to my life and i cannot believe it's a puppy! my parents spent their holiday sending me photographs of puppies and saying they were considering looking into getting one. with three cats this has always been something they've <i>never </i>taken seriously and they can't understand why they've changed their minds - but i'm not complaining. we found moomin and his five other siblings on <a href="http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/">pets4homes</a> and immediately emailed to arrange a viewing. whilst we had planned to meet our potential pup taking home moo that day was a complete impromptu surprise and we weren't very prepared - it's safe to say on the trip home we visited every pet store! besides the odd set back in his potty training moo is a complete dream. we've already got <i>so</i> much love for him and i certainly can't wait to see how he grows!</span></div>

i'd like to introduce you all to prickle and spike my two new desk friends. i'm a huge succulent lover and i'm dying to get my hands on some terrariums. however, having just killed one of my baby cactus i don't think i can trust myself just yet with too many! prickle and spike are the perfect new additions to my desk side. they keep me company whilst i spend far too much time dedicated to my new found hobby, cross stitching, and perusing amazon and ebay.<br />

<span style="color: black;">after searching high and low to find this record i can finally welcome you to the crème de la crème of my vinyl collection, mr sidney bechet. after seeing midnight in paris and falling in love with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JABOZpoBYQE">the opening scene</a> i've always related sidney's 'si tu vois ma mère' with some awesome memories be it in paris or england, it's always been able to cheer me right up. so there was no wonder when i opened it and set the needle on it for the first time that i welled up a bit... sad but unfortunately very true, we've all got <i>'that' </i>one song well this is certainly mine!<br />

<span style="color: black;">
admittedly i've kind of fallen in love with bumble and bumble, having been introduced to b&b by <a href="http://www.gh0stparties.com/">kate</a>, i'm a little bit addicted. recently i had a little splurge whilst at the b&b counter in boots and i've loved all the products i bought. the only bumble and bumble product i've used and did not like initially was the <a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.co.uk/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT72&PRODUCT_ID=221">surf spray</a> however, after having my hair cut i found it worked a lot better on shorter hair.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.co.uk/product/73/26946/Products/Styling/Sprays/Dryspun-Finish/index.tmpl">bb thickening dry spun finish spray</a><br />
i had my heart set on the <a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/dry-texturizing-spray/MUK200006325.html">oribe texturising spray</a> however, i definitely couldn't justify £39. so after trying to look for a high street alternative and eventually giving up i opted for the bb version and i'm definitely not disappointed. it's awesome for creating <i>'that'</i> undone look quickly. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.co.uk/product/51/9235/Products/Wear-and-Care/Bbquenching/quenching-masque/index.tmpl">bb quenching masque</a><br />
i probably should just have a hair cut (since it's been a while!) rather than using this but it works so well at conditioning the ends. ideally i'd prefer to apply this to dry hair as i hate having to find something to do for ten minutes in the shower to let it work.<br />
<br /><span style="color: black;">

after using the<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/TRESemme-24-Hour-Body-Sky-High-Plump-Powder-10g_1222312/"> tresemmé volume powder</a> and finding it effective but leaving </span>my hair with so much residue i explored the market to find something else that did the job. this powder is so fine you don't have to worry about white roots or any sticky residue and since it's got such a fine constancy i have a feeling it'll last a long time.<br />

<span style="color: black;">so this is another post that will start with something along the lines 'it's been a little while but...' and i know it has been a little while <i>but</i>, i've finally got time to post my trip to <a href="http://news.cathkidston.com/180-piccadilly-our-new-flagship-home/">180 piccadilly</a>. the lovely <a href="http://jazzabellesdiary.blogspot.co.uk/">jazmine</a> invited me to come along to <a href="http://news.cathkidston.com/180piccadilly_safariparty/">cath kidston's safari launch</a> and it was so much fun looking around the flagship store. if you have a little scroll through the photographs you'll eventually bump into one of myself (that <a href="http://amber-rosephotography.blogspot.co.uk/">amber</a> took!) wearing my favourite <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/grove-rose-dress-with-collar/dresses/cath-kidston/fcp-product/1011690">grove roses dress</a> from cath kidston that i just adore!<br /><span style="color: black;">i met up with the gorgeous rhi of <a href="http://vintagestyle.me]">vintage style me</a> after a <i>very</i> long time of not seeing each other due to me moving back home! it was only a brief trip but i'm not complaining, it felt so good to be back in london after months and months and especially in such good company.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">TEA CUP HOMES</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
<br />
whilst at university i wanted some little plants to keep be company in my room. however, it's safe to say that my memory is like a sieve and i forgot to water the first plants i had - oops! so i ended up with these three little cacti from sainsburys when my mum came to visit one day. it wasn't until i was moving out and precariously placed one on top of several over items that it fell off and the pot broke. once home i found an old tea cup and placed the one without a little home into it. after that i spent a little while trying to find tea cup homes for the others and here they are! they've turned out to be the perfect cheap, effortless and cheerful way of completely my dressing table!<br />

<span style="color: black;">I'VE BECOME VERY WARY OF WEARING MY XXL JACK DANIELS T SHIRT</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">i was sent the press release about the<a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/c/women/rosie-for-autograph"> rosie for autograph collaboration</a> a little while ago and since i'm not the biggest fan of endless press releases i barely looked at it. however, having seen carrie wearing a piece in her <a href="http://wishwishwish.net/2014/03/endless-euphoria/">endless euphoria</a> post i decided to delve a little deeper in the marks and spencer website. i have to say i was so surprised to see just how beautiful and romantic everything was they just made me want to spend all day in bed lounging about.<br />
ever since getting into a relationship i've become very wary of wearing my xxl jack daniels t shirt to bed and have started taking a <i>little</i> (emphasis on the little) more caution to wear more socially acceptable pyjamas. a couple of pieces of loungewear like these adorable <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/bunnies-pj-bottoms/fashion/cath-kidston/fcp-product/1008951">bunny pyjama bottoms</a> and <a href="http://images.asos-media.com/inv/media/9/5/4/0/3250459/red/image1xl.jpg">this night shirt</a> have managed to nuzzle there way into my pyjama draw but there is definitely room for silk don't you think?</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">recently my skin has been super sensitive and temperamental so i went into space.nk and had a little look around. i'm not <i>too</i> keen on space.nk because i've never really admired their customer service however, this trip was <i>very</i> different! a really lovely lady approached me and asked if i wanted any help, i replied yes and explained my skin situation. i told her about the topical solutions and creams i was prescribed by the doctors and how i think it's left my skin quite erratic. </span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">she immediately recommended <a href="http://nudeskincare.com/?gclid=CNuRjMvrx70CFZQZtAodgjgAcQ">nude</a> and their <a href="http://www.spacenk.com/perfect-cleansing-oil/MUK200009348.html">cleansing oil</a>. at first i was skeptical because of that fact its an oil and my skin isn't good with oily products. however, i've been using it for almost a week and it's <i>so</i> delicate. previously i was using the oh so blogger cliché that is <a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/cleanse-and-polish-hot-cloth-cleanser.html">liz earle cleanse and polish</a> which i used to get on with so well however, it's just gotten too heavy for my skin and seriously broken me out. anyway, i can't stress how beautiful the cleansing oil is and if you get the chance to try it out then do!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;">is a product that was recommended to me by the lovely alex from cath kidston and ever since i've seen it everywhere. i have to say it's worked really effectively after just a handful of uses and i'm really looking forward to using it more.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">HOWEVER, IT'S SAFE TO SAY IT WAS QUITE THE WASTE OF MONEY</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
<br />
when the gorgeous lucy from <a href="http://www.fineandbambi.com/">fine and bambi</a> posted a picture on <a href="http://instagram.com/lucyjarviss/">her instagram</a> of some <a href="http://www.bootea.com/">bootea</a> i had a little read about it and bought some. however, it's safe to say it was quite the waste of money. i've finished my two week course and i have to say i don't feel any different -if anything i'm eating more because it suppressed my appetite. i thought it would be wrong to think that just simply drinking tea would make you slimmer so i knew i had to make an effort to change my lifestyle. i paired it with healthy low calorie meals and exercised considerably more than normal however, i can't say the tea made me feel particularly detoxed.<br />
<br />
disadvantages:<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="color: black;">
<li>the tea does claim an awful lot (all of which you can read <a href="http://www.bootea.com/pages/about-bootea">here!</a>) however, out of the ten claims i think i experienced one. i also asked lucy how she was finding it and she found it was exactly the same. </li>
<li>i'm beginning to think either it doesn't really work or it's something you have to drink for months and months but, i'm not really in the position to be spending £20 on tea! </li>
<li>i read that the actual tea bags were made to stop the tea leaves passing through however, there was still a lot of sediment at the bottom of the cup.</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="color: black;">
</span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: black;">advantages: </span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span>
<br />
<div>
<ul><span style="color: black;">
<li>unfortunately, there aren't many but i have to say it has made me want to try out different herbal teas. </li>
<li>having had a break on from the tea i do believe that it suppressed my appetite as i feel as though i have been eating a lot these passed couple of days. so i think i'm going to purchase <a href="http://www.drstuarts.com/tea-shop/slim-plus">this dr stuarts tea</a> i hope it'll do the same thing. </li>

<span style="color: black;">KEEP IT SIMPLE OR SOME WHAT SASSY</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">my favourite style tip is <i>always</i> keep it simple or some what sassy, either or. i'm a huge believer in keeping outfits quite minimal and practical. i'm not talking rucksack, climbing boots, raincoat, i'm talking along the lines of <a href="http://www.laredoute.co.uk/frenchstyletips/">these secrets to french style</a>. i'm one of <i>those </i>girls who dreams of hoping on the back of a moped in paris wearing a breton t shirt and classic trench coat. so, even in my dreams, it wouldn't be practical for me to be dripping in jewellery or awkwardly fitting clothing! having subconsciously been following <a href="http://www.laredoute.co.uk/frenchstyletips/">these secrets to french style</a> for quite a while now, la redoute have reassured me that coco chanel, jean paul gaultier and yves saint-laurent agree that simple and classic is acceptable! and i'm allowed to be comfortable and moped hopping ready!<br />

as i have said previously <a href="http://itsmiaouornever.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/025-to-lily-buy-yourself-something.html">(here!)</a> my room required a reshuffle before i bought my imac and whilst watching one of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/etcllymlrs">lily's videos</a> i noticed her ikea shelves and decided i could do with something similar. i went for <a href="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50217653/#/30217654">these ikea hemnes shelves</a> after much deliberation and i'm so over the moon with them. i love all <a href="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/">ikea furniture</a> and there isn't one piece in my bedroom that isn't from the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/search/?query=hemnes">hemnes collection</a> -i'm a dedicated white furniture fan. after spending quite a while on the ikea website i created a new pinterest board for <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/lilyfmason/first-home-inspiration/">all my first home inspiration</a>, which then led to <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/lilyfmason/wedding-inspiration/">my wedding inspiration board</a>… oops?! </span></div>

<span style="color: black;">
everytime i buy a bioderma dupe i always think 'i should have bought bioderma'. so, whilst i was in london (for the <a href="http://news.cathkidston.com/180piccadilly_safariparty/">cath kidston safari launch</a>) i went to the <a href="https://www.garden.co.uk/?utm_source=Affiliate_Window&utm_medium=Affiliate_Marketing&utm_campaign=Affiliate_Window_Sale&awc=258_1395519368_8a1a45f50f50cf750e61ce936711dc5b">garden pharmacy</a> in covent garden and purchased a bottle. unfortunately i could't find a 500ml bottle which was what i was after because for people that don't live close to london tracking bioderma down is still pretty hard.<br />
<br />
i also picked up the <a href="http://www.escentual.com/bioderma/bioderma023/">bioderma sebum pore refiner</a> because one of <i>the</i> biggest flaws in my skin is the size of my pores. in true regina george style 'my pores are huge' and it's started to really knock any confidence i had when it came to my skin. i haven't had the chance to use it yet because my skin is appalling at the moment and i'm just trying to get it back to normal - any recommendations for combination/sensitive skin?<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;">i remember in year 8 going to my friend mollies house and spending hours on photo booth on her imac filming videos and taking hundreds of photographs. finally i managed to get my mitts on my own imac, even if it did mean rearranging my room because its so small! i'm so in love with it and when i was setting it up alex said nothing but 'i want one'. it's fair to say now we just spend evenings both sat on a one man chair looking up lego mini figures on ebay and watching weird things on youtube - money well spent i think. i've had it for a week or so now and i have to say it's definitely been worth the money, besides the fact it doesn't come with a disk drive and i've had to buy an external one it's been incredible! i'm not usually a technology nerd but the speakers are infinitely better than the macbook pros. i've also noticed it goes much brighter (than a pro) which is good because my room can be so bright and it just nice to have a crisp screen.<br /><br /><img alt="_DSC4271" height="426" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3714/13039771225_77a8c14c75_b.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="_DSC4273" height="900" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7442/13039895183_da57cba70f_b.jpg" width="640" /> </span><br />

<span style="color: black;">i'm lucky enough to work for <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/">lush cosmetics</a> and prior to leaving for university i would have been there almost three years! however, i'm back in my hometown working for lush and cath kidston, which is pretty darn cool i think.<br />anyway! when the valentines day collection was launched i fell completely in love with the neon love shop and shortly after the prince charming shower gel. i featured the neon love shop in a <a href="http://miaouornever.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/011-wish-list-number-one.html#.UxoM9tza5z8">wish list</a> and shortly after i bought my first chunk and i've been hoarding it ever since! it's so creamy and smells so lovely, i definitely recommend you have sniff! also, i've found a socially acceptable way of smothering yourself in jaffa cakes and it's prince charming shower gel. somehow a mixture of pomegranate, marshmallow root and vanilla smells like the chocolate orange biscuits and i'm certainly not complaining!<br />unfortunately you cannot buy either online anymore however, you might be able to find it in your local lush store.<br /></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">alex has gotten me into <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Horror_Story">american horror story</a> and whilst i was at uni i spent a week catching up on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Horror_Story#Season_1:_Murder_House_.282011.29">murder house</a> series. but now that i'm home i'm always waiting for a new episode of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Horror_Story#Season_3:_Coven_.282013.E2.80.9314.29">coven</a> and recently finished watching <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Horror_Story#Season_2:_Asylum_.282012.E2.80.9313.29">asylum</a> which was incredible! (really gross at times, but really good too!).</span><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">my second favourite is the wolf of wall street. i really enjoyed this film and it's the first new film i've properly enjoyed in a very long time. whilst it's three hours long it didn't feel like it in the slightest and i can't wait to read the book after alex has finished with it! i would highly recommend this film but, just don't see it with your parents… </span><br /><span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;">there isn't too much to say about these beauty products besides the fact that they work for me and thats why they are my favourites! dot is always just beautiful and perfect! the l'oréal micellar solution is the perfect dupe for bioderma (i'm so sorry b, i love you and everything but you are still too hard to get hold of). and the bb straight works wonderfully on controlling my new do and making it look all sleek and straight.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">after undertaking an unexpected gap year i'm determined to do more with my free time - even if it's something like starting a new hobby like cross stitching (which i have!). this also entails travelling, probably not far but still doing more of it! </span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">whilst i love making lists in my notebooks i hate having to write for long periods of time and this isn't due to the work load. i <i>hate</i> my handwriting. to the point where i would not revise during my gcses and a levels as i hated how untidy my revision looked. weird i know. but when my mum asked if i had gotten alex a valentines day card and my response was no she suggested i purchase a typewriter she'd seen in a charity shop. i didn't need much persuading as i've always wanted to be a girl in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-rWVi2xNxQ">orla kiely's typing pool</a> but i am hoping it'll in encourage me to write more!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;">FAVOURITE THING TO DO</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">so welcome to part two of my sketchbooks from university! i have to say in hindsight i adored this project so much whilst i really didn't enjoy my time at uni. i completely adore <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/?gclid=CLeq9IeAorwCFa-WtAod_1IAzg">cath kidston</a> and having to do an entire project on the brand and herself was such a pleasure and something i found really interesting. i created two final outcomes that i photographed with the lovely <a href="http://www.whatoliviadid.com/">olivia</a> and <a href="http://jazzabellesdiary.blogspot.co.uk/">jazmine</a>, which i might share soon!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">all of the pages from the sketchbook (both photographed and not, just so you get the picture of the work i did!):</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">main focus for the project and the initial response • an introduction to cath kidston • cath kids ton's inspirations • vogue about cath kidston (analysed) • brand introduction • first shop • first print • first collection • print history • past collections • cath kidston fashion • 2004 • the (international and national) expansion of cath kidston • stock lists and store locations • customer profile • celebrities with cath kidston • coming up roses • coming up rose talk at the cheltenham literature festival • comments on the notes taken at the festival • visual merchandising • cath kidston press releases • the cath kidston blog • twitter and pinterest • facebook • autumn/winter 2013 catalog • fashion promotion • collaborations • events • working with bloggers • the future • own fashion promotion imaging work for cath kidston • thumbnails • editing • examples of where the photograph would be used x2</span><br />
