^^ Me three. Our wedding celebrations are usually banquets held in enclosed restaurants and I'm usually very bored. Especially when lots of guests are invited, like more than 50, we are pretty much neglected. This Royal wedding will have lots of pretty things to watch and I'll be tuning to the tv!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you got to enjoy a nice long weekend! 
I'm totally with you, Debi.... forget Spring, give me Summer!! I'm sick and tired of this winter weather! Today's a running around to do errands day, with lots of little stuff to get done I also managed to sell quite a bit of makeup today, so I'm happy! I miss you ladies - I feel like I never get to come on Specktra anymore! Hopefully now that my online course has started, I'll be spending some more time on the computer for the next few months and I'll be able to multi-task with Specktra
Oh yes, Lou, I forgot to tell you that I loved the blog video! I was surprised at how low your voice was - I've always pictured it higher, for some reason! Maybe it's just because I have such a high voice - a soprano through and through! It is lovely and rich though, and I thought you spoke very well and you look good on video! Can't wait to see and hear more from you!

I hope you got to enjoy a nice long weekend!

yay for selling make up! i need something to sell! but because i tend to get rid of things quickly if i don't need them, i never get the chance to actually sell anything! the only thing i have been tempted to sell are my jimmy choo shoes - but i bought them for my wedding day and i know i'll never wear them again - but equally i don't think i can bring myself to get rid of them!
Jen~So funny you said that, because I thought the same thing. I expected you to have a really high pitch voice, like me, Lou! Except mine is more mouse-like and goes higher and higher as I get excited until I am up in the rafters somewhere! Squeak!
I managed to pull myself together after a full 3 1/2 hours of sleep...I can't wait for bed tonight! Got to the store and bought some cute costume jewelry. While I love (adore) expensive stuff, sometimes I just like loading up on the inexpensive goodies! Sporting the cute choker I bought that goes nicely with my white gold/aquamarine necklace. Smokey grey eyes by Bobbi Brown.

^^ Enjoy your meal out! Yeah Kate's hair is always so gorgeous. And I read that she is going to do her own makeup on the day! She took some makeup lessons from a makeup artist just for that. She did her own makeup for the engagement photo and all. Her friend said she always feel weird about people doing her face and hair, and I'm like this too. I feel uncomfortable for people to do my face and I don't like to go for haircuts, but I have to because I don't want to look like I have unkempt hair lol. I also imagined your voice to be higher, but really I love your voice, it's beautiful. Yeah we all get high pitched when we are excited or angry lol.
debi - you look gorgeous! love the makeup and the choker! The bb grey e/s is beautiful. And what do you have on your lips?
sally - congrats on the new car! The royal wedding starts showing at 3.30pm my time and I think it stretches until the late evening. Not sure, but very excited!
jenn - great! hope to see you more here! miss you!

thanks! we had a lovely meal out. we were going to go to an italian place but waited a few minutes at the reception desk but when a bloke finally came along he said they weren't open for another 30 minutes (it was after 12 noon!) so i thought sod it! so we went to nandos for chicken instead! i have a chicken breast in a pitta bread with spicy rice
yummy! then me and nick were naughty and split some cake for dessert!oh wow! that is awesome that she is doing her own make up! she should come on specktra for tips! hee hee!
and like you guys i am not a fan of having people touching my face. i'm ok when getting my brows waxed but that is it really. i now hate it if people try and do my make up because i always think inside how differently i would do it! lol! the problem is that in the uk some of the counter girls are not actually trained so they don't actually do make up that well. that's not being bitchy at all - my make up is far from perfect! but in some cases i do wonder how they make sales! i do love getting my hair done though! but that is because i love my hairdresser and could talk to her all day long and we'd not get bored! she is a nice friend oh and thanks for the compliments on my voice guys! i guess it is funny how we imagine people to sound! then when you hear them they are totally different! i did a voice-over on my next video so you can hear me for another five minutes! lol!
oh and Debi i am filming a video with you in mind tomorrow! all the things you can do with pigments!!

Your lunch sounds great! i haven't try nandos but I have located where the restaurant is. What cake did you have? Dessert is the highlight of a meal out for me. It's great that you found a hairdresser you like. I still have no luck and a different hairdresser cuts my hair each time.
Do you know if Susanne is back on Specktra? I have seen her updates on fb but I don't see her here anymore.

Oh you need to take a trip there! If you like chicken you will love it! and the cakes was called a choc-o-lot cake and it was crazy rich! hence why we shared! it was two layers of chocolate sponge with creamy chocolate filling either side. it was like an incredibly thick choc moose! and then they give you a little scoop of mascapone with it which is perfect! i hate to think how many calories were in my half though! and like you i love desserts!!!Your lunch sounds great! i haven't try nandos but I have located where the restaurant is.

that is a shame about you not finding a good hairdresser yet. i went through so many before (and bad haircuts and highlights too!) until i found Jodi! she the salon owner and is such a nice and funny person. everything is really personal there and you can talk you you are actually friends! she goes to florida loads just like me and nick and we have the same tastes and opinions on many things. so team the personality with the fact she does a great job cutting and highlighting my hair - she is the perfect hairdresser for me!
Sally~I am excited about the Royal Wedding, too. Over here William has been much watched and beloved by the average person. No one really likes Charles and we all were so sad when Diana died. For us this is a new stage in Royalty in England. We think he learned a lot from his mother's life and death to be an amazing King someday. I remember when Charles and Diana were married and how I and everyone else was glued to the tv watching it. That night I had to work (one of those pesty people who call up and try to sell newspaper subscription trials!) and I used a British accent all night. People loved it and bought way more. Everyone was British that day!
Lou~Thank you! I am glad I remembered that I mostly wore three colour schemes back in my teenage days. Purples, browns w/pink and greys. Grey really works on me so I am also excited over my grey MAC palette I did up a while back. Glad you had a fun day today! I am dying to see your costume jewelry. For the longest while no one wore it around here, and it when completely out of fashion. Now it is super popular again and I love being able to go to any gift shop and just pick up a bunch of inexpensive cute things for a cute look! I bought more today and a jewelry holder so will fill it up (I need another I think!) and take a photo of it tomorrow. I love having it hanging, glittering and just waiting for me to pluck something off of it and go! The choker holds together with magnets, strong ones, too, so it is super easy to put on and off. I bought matching bracelets today! Hehehe... I got inspired by yet another YouTube video!
Miss QQ~Thank you! The lipstick is Temptress by Revlon! I love Revlon...they have some awesome shades and very long lasting lippies!
Tonight I will finally try to rewatch the Borgias. Last night I was still wired over the fire. I watched the news, I saw pictures in the paper and online and was wowed by it all. I felt the heat of those flames, I saw the damage and heard it roaring. I could not sleep because even though the house is now boarded up and no one is there I kept feeling like I needed to keep vigil, to keep watching, because I was afraid something would spark up again, like it did the night before, only then the fire engines stayed all night, just in case. Now it is quiet and relaxing again, but all you have to do is look out the window and see their house all boarded up, the singed windows, the twisted siding, the holes and burn marks from the fire. Sigh.... Here is a picture of one of the bursts that took place long after the actual fire was out. The first fire was in that bedroom and the flames were pouring out of the double window, filling it up completely. That was the room she was in and the pets. That is where it all started and then spread. I won't forget the heat of it either.

that picture is aweful it is scary just how quickly the fire can spread. that is why i am always so careful when we have candles lit at home - even if i leave the room for a minute i blow the candle out and re-light it when i come back in! i am a little crazy perhaps?! and i shall take some pictures of my costume jewelery later for you debi! as well as these bangles i have a super cute teal and green necklace that i wear quite a bit. oh in fact i have just found a picture of me wearing it -
i love the pretty crystals that hang down! nick bought it for me on my 22nd birthday i think

Yes, we just found out the whole upstairs was torched, too, and one of the girls lost all her things. The other one lived down in the cellar and was mainly worried about her jeep, which of course is fine. They plan to rebuild and come back. I hope the mom has learned something from this, but I feel like it is doubtful. So, all we can do is hope and pray she got a wake up call. I feel the worst for the youngest daughter who lost everything too, was the one who dragged her mother out of a bed with flames all around her and to safety in the front yard and now feels guilty because she heard her mother call a few times before responding but thought she was calling "Hayley" rather than "Help me". So I hope I might run into her today to have a chat with her about how none of this is her fault. The mother is now out of intensive care with superficial burns on her face and burns on her arm and torso, but not bad enough for skin grafts. She will have a few scars to remind her of all this, but she will be fine. I think most of the danger was her being drugged out and smoke inhalation. God knows what else was in her system at the time, too, so nothing helps.that picture is aweful

Lou~My first cat never bothered flames or jumped up on the furniture, but I never left a candle unattended. Taper candles get put out before we leave the room and my scented one (I only burn one at a time) is on an open kitchen table (I take everything away from it!) and only is left unattended for a second (answering the door or zipping upstairs to grab something). If I had a cat I would not do that. If I had children I would have no candles or lighters in the house at all. Not until they were older teens. Fire kills. It just isn't worth it. And I love candles and was taught how to light a match and fire instruction at 8 years old. Being extra careful is wise, not foolish!
LOVE that necklace! Gimme. Hehehe. It looks perfect on you and is soooo your colour! I love all the pretty dangling things! I love that costume jewelery is back. Actually, I think they are calling it "Fashion" jewelry now. Love it anyhow. Pretty, fun, quirky and unique looks for such a low cost and so worth the fun we have wearing it! I can see this will be a new obsession for me!! I can't wait to see pictures and what a fun blog entry this would make, too! As well as creative ideas on how to store it, which is my main focus now! My bedroom looks so girlie!

^^ The Revlon l/s is gorgeous. Revlon is my fav drugstore brand and I always buy their things when I was a student. The fire was awful and scary. Everyone must be shaken by it.
The chocolate cake sounds delicious! I'm sure you have been keeping up with your exercise regime so no worries about the calories. It's great that you have a hairdresser who is a friend. Maybe you can plan a trip to florida together some day. Thanks for the update on Susanne. I hope she joins us here when she can.
I love your makeup and the necklace! The charms are exquisite. I have been thinking of getting a charm necklace from swarovski crystals and what you are wearing is inspiring. I don't wear bracelets so even though a charm bracelet is cuter, I think I won't enjoy wearing it.

hee hee! Debi i think i shall turn this who 'fashion' jewelery thing into a blog post! once again you have inspired me!
Oooh, yippee! I love blog posts and videos so much! I should be dusting, but I don't care. lol And it is super warm out so loving the heat! It is 76 and actually humid out! And my Sephora order just arrived! Whoop! And now I want to buy tons of fashion jewelry, which I actually have been picking at for the past year, so having fun with that. We always see a lot more now, during the summer holidays, in gifts shops for tourists, and later for fall and Christmas, so a good time to get started on it all! It is so much fun to pick out unique things!
