How I Ended Up Owning My Own Business

This is something I get asked about alot. People I meet or haven't seen in years are sometimes shocked when they ask what I do for work and to be honest ... so am I!

Owning a business, I don't think, was ever on my life agenda. Being self-employed possibly was but I just never saw myself as a 'boss'. An 'owner'. Or even an adult!

Why I Got A Second Job | Being Self-Employed and Employed

 

Yasssss #girlboss life! 

T-Shirt : Pretty Little Thing // Jacket : New Look // Lipstick : Stila, Beso

Two jobs? You must be crazy! That's what I've been getting told, but I know making this decision has been the best thing I've done for myself in a long while.

Things I've Learnt From Working At Home

I have worked at home full-time since December last year. This is something I never even imagined would be possible for me 
The girl that never knew what she wanted to do, didn't go to uni, floated along in different jobs had opened her own company out of the blue .... bit scary huh?

5 Ways To Make Your Blog & Social Channels Easier For PR Companies

As most of you will already know I work in PR and social media (and LOVE it),  and I also, obviously, run this blog! It's so fun being both sides of the e-mails and I really enjoy interacting with fellow bloggers as well as fellow PR companies!
In my time within this industry I have talked to many fellow bloggers (and yes they are all total babes)!
When it comes to contacting and organising bloggers, I have noticed there can be a few things that hinder a company or brand getting the information they need so I thought why not write out a few TOP things for you guys to ensure you are including all the information that's needed!
Check out these 5 EASY bits and bobs below.....

Tell Us Your Name
Yes, you would think this would be a total given, but yet there are still blogs out there where there is actually no indication at all of what the writers name is.
 I hate having to write "Hi there" in my e-mails and one of my personal pet hates is getting e-mailed "Dear ayellowbrickblog".
I mean fair enough if you want to keep anonymous or not use your real name, but make sure there is something that we can call you by! I have been on Blogs, Twitters, Instagrams and more of the same person and still have no clue what their name is or what to call them!

Social Media - the kings of the internet
It is always fabulous to have your social media channels in plain sight on your blog and even better if your followings for each are showing! Being able to find all your platforms in one place is a life saver.... believe me!
(Oh and for the love of God... get them to open in a new tab :)

UK? North, South, East, West?
Now this one is handy for event invites!
If PR companies are looking for bloggers in a certain area it's great for them to be able to see if you are close enough or not!  I'm not saying give up your street name, postcode or even town but just the area you live in makes it so much easier for PR companies to send you relevant e-mails that may be of interest to you - Manchester, London, North West, South East, Isle Of Wight....  it's always good to know - even if it's just on your Twitter or Instagram!

Contacting YOU
It's all well and good finding your blog and loving your content - but if you want to be involved in PR opportunities, having your e-mail address prominent on your blog/social is essential.
Having a 'Contact Me' section is always perfect.... one where you have a contactable e-mail address too not a form to fill out ;)
Including it in your social media bios is also perfect - it makes life ALOT easier and saves so much time.

Searching...
Having a search option within your blog is also a fantastic addition and useful tool for people looking to work with you. It gives them access to be able to find any relevant content you may have created previously.

These may all seem SO super obvious but you may be surprised to know I sit there weekly looking at blogs unable to find names, e-mail address or even if they have a Twitter or not!
Do let me know if you'd like any other PR themed posts, or maybe if you have any questions at all!

Life Update

Why hello my favourite internet people!

It's time for me to finally sit down and type away my feelings.... it's been a while and I've missed blogging regularly SO much and I thought i was about time I did a mini life update for you all..... in case you've been wondering where I am! 

What's new with me? What's gong down? 

Well.....

I've been working... alot! I LOVE my new job so much but working online all day I struggle to then sit down and open my laptop once I'm home enjoying my free time - which makes me sad as I LOVE blogging so much but I do need time to switch off from it all. But I'm determined over the next couple of months to get A Yellow Brick Blog up and running like it used to be! 

I've booked a holiday......... to DISNEYWORLD! Yes I'm so, so, so, sooooo happy - I finally cracked my boyfriend and he agreed to go back next year :)

So, lots of saving and counting down for me until March - I still can't believe I'm going to get to go back, a dream come true once more!

Summer is coming and I have lots of exciting plans! From the Isle Of Wight Festival next week to one of my best friends hen do's (in a totally secret location.... I'd better not say because she could read this, we've kept this a secret for 6 months and I'm just spoiling it now!) later this month to V Festival in August ... I'm looking forward to some amazing weekends with good friends :)

INSTAGRAM - I have a brand new Instagram - @AlohaKirstie - and I would seriously appreciate it if you'd hit follow, I can't believe it's already hit over 400 followers in less than 4 days!

Alot of people have been asking why I have made a new account.... well, my old one, for me, was just messy - which sounds SO stupid but I'd had it since 2009 or 2010 I had over 4000 uploads. I just needed a fresh fun start!

Will my blog change names? Who knows?! Not anytime soon :) 'A Yellow Brick Blog' seems to have a lot of love from what I've seen and been told so maybe it should stay :)

I'm still on that health kick - I'm obsessed with the gym classes I'm going to and I am trying seriously hard with my diet (although I have slipped a few times recently)! I did just complete #ChocolateFreeMay though - wahoooo! I'm excited to keep on challenging myself, setting new goals monthly and seeing improvements!

What have you all been upto? What's new? Let me know in the comments below!

Glasses Direct : London Retro Highgate Frames

Why hello there - yes, that's me wearing glasses, this is my daily look now you know!

Working on a laptop Monday-Friday for my new job it is now essential that I wear glasses.  I'm not actually sure how I'd cope without them which is crazy as I've only been wearing this prescription for a few months - it definitely helps with my constant screen staring.

These frames are from London Retro - you may remember me talking about them before in previous posts - I'm such a fan of their style.
These are 'Highgate' frames which are a deeper and squarer version of the Metropolitan frames - which I have already (see here) - but I have to see I definitely think I prefer these.
I picked the black shade as I thought it was probably a little better for work but I seriously love the look of tortoise shell and purple version too, a bit funkier than plain old black!

Glasses Direct London Retro Highgate Frames*

I am obsessed with these - by far my favourite glasses so far, I love the thinner arms and the larger frames, they are great for my face shape.
A little tip for you all aswell...... if you're not sure which frames are going to suit you best (it can be sooo tricky ordering online!) you can actually have a FREE home trial with Glasses Direct. Pick 4 styles, get them sent to you, choose your favourite and bobs your uncle - you've found your perfect frame without all the backwards and forwards! So, so easy!

Hands up if you're glasses wearer?! What's your favourite frame style?

My Desk Essentials

As you may have seen over on Twitter, Facebook or even on here - this month saw me start a totally new career!
Finally out of my unfulfilling and repetitive days in retail and into the world of PR and social media - yes, my dream!
I am LOVING my role so far and am getting so excited to work everyday - I feel so lucky!
Anyway today I thought I would give you a little sneak peek onto my desk. How exciting eh?
I never thought I'd have my own desk and the novelty of it all definitely hasn't worn off yet (it's only been a week!) - so ... here, have a look!

First of all.... my glasses. Over the last couple of years my eyesight has got ALOT worse and as I'm on my computer nearly all day they are a MUST for me! 
I'm really hoping to get some new frames soon too - I need more than one pair of glasses with my new prescription in for sure!

Notebooks are a MUST! Throughout the day I write down soooo much - to-dos, comments, things to remember - I can't imagine how many I'm going to go through!
I got the cute white and gold one from TK Maxx recently - I'm in love and it was only £4.99!
Highlighters are also a god send, how cute is my little bear set? They were from ASOS - adorable!

Hand cream is the easiest way to have a little pamper session whilst at your desk - I'm in love with the Soap & Glory minis (the Sugar Crush one HAS to be my favourite) - with all that typing I'm doing, keeping my hands in good condition is a must.... obviously. #anyexcuse

Another product I find myself applying 500 times a day is lip balm - another beauty treat throughout my working days. This BeeGood Raspberry & White Chocolate* tube is amazing, I'm a huge chocolate fan so this is right up my street.. The scent is so yummy and the product itself leaves the lips feeling so smooth and hydrated without any hint of stickiness! I've been using this daily for nearly a month now and it is still going strong!

I can't even tell you how many cups of tea I go through a day..... mainly green tea (my fav) but there's so many teas where I work that I feel like everyday is going to be a 'trying something new' day! There is always a mug within 1 foot of me.

Last but not least.....snacks! I've been so good to keep on the health train during my workdays and my favourite things for a decent snack are Eat Natural bars! I always have one of the Brazil but, sultana and almond bars from them for my afternoon break, they are so good and you can really make them last.

What are you desk essentials?

2016 Goals, Aims & Plans

Hello hello girls and boys, it's that time again - the year is coming to a close and we are all looking forward to that refreshing feeling of January!

Over the last month or two I have really felt like things have started to come together for me, I've totally overhauled my diet which has made me feel so much better and have finally been able to hand in my notice at my job ready to start my new career in January #yay!
2015 has been alright... I mean nothing major seems to have happened, I've had fun times and great experiences but nothing too life-changing - however that's not always a bad thing.

Looking back at my 'Goals & Resolutions' post from the beginning of 2015 it's clear that I did slightly fail on a few of those things I set myself and.. in fact... some of them are things that I still want to work on in 2016 - but oh well... the only way is up!

Running & Fitness

You may have read my post about my diet recently, so of course next thing on my list is fitness. Growing up I was always so active and a few years ago I was running every morning. I'm hoping that with this new job I can finally get myself into a good routine and include an exercise plan into this! I want to be fit and healthy and am looking forward to challenging myself a bit - bring on the abs, planks and squats!

New Job Confidence

Yay! It's only a couple of weeks until I fully start my new role as a PR & Social Media Executive and I cannot wait.

 Yes, I won't lie, it is a little daunting jumping into a job that I have no previous experience in apart from everything that I've done for myself but I'm so ready to take it on and put my all into it - I hope this is the start of something great as I've been stuck in a job for so long that I just haven't been happy with, aiming for the stars here people, lets do this!

Fashion Blogging

I feel like I've said this alot but I really, really want to start blogging more fashion bits. I always get lovely comments from you guys when I do and I really enjoy it! Fingers crossed I'll be able to afford some new clothes to chat about soon haha!

Grow Grow Grow

Well.... this has been my aim for the last (nearly) 3 years! I love blogging, social media, creating and I just want to grow my channels as much as I can. 

I mean..... that might sound vain or self-centered? Does it? I feel like if you're a blogger then you will understand how I feel. I love engaging with people and blogging has become something that has well and truly taken over my life - I love it, bring on another fun-filled year of learning and improving.

YouTube Take Two

I'm going to try. I'm really going to try - it just takes up sooo much time. The videos I put up this year I had so much fun doing, but I'm so hard on myself so just never feel like they are good enough. Vlogging has been a goal of mine since I started watching YT videos regularly back in 2009, so watch this space.... filming will commence shortly.

STOP WORRYING

I'm such a bad worrier. I'm always panicking about something, have a horrible feeling of dread or weight on my shoulders for no reason - so next year I want to try and let myself feel more relaxed. Take things as they come and don't let little things worry me, 99% of the time whatever I'm worrying about doesn't happen!

Get a Tattoo?!

Haha! How many times have I said this? My friends are fed up of me even mentioning it! I'm just so damn indecisive. 

Adventure Out

Weekends away, nights out, days with friends, seeing new places, experiencing new things - with a holiday to Florida on pause for now I want to spend as much time making memories as I can.

Weekly Round Up #2

1. NEW JOB! | 2. Sailing The Seas | 3. My Favourite Lady | 4. The Good Dinosaur | 5. Instagram Addicted | 6. The Gold Dust Product | 7. Feeling Festive | 8. Coat Of Dreams | 9. Bargain Boots

1.  Well.... if you didn't know about this yet.... where have you been?! Yes! I have finally been able to hand in my notice at my current retail job and will be starting a new career in PR, social media and marketing in the new year. I am overjoyed and so so excited to get started! I finally feel like my life is starting to get on track!

2. What a lovely day it was, heading over to Portsmouth with my Mum for a spot of shopping. I love Primark but living on the IOW it's not often that I get to go so it's always an exciting experience. How is shopping so tiring though? Seriously such a workout!

3. It's been so lovely to spend a bit more time with my Mum over the past weekend, it needs to happen more often!

4. I went to see The Good Dinosaur last week with a couple of friends and absolutely loved it.... it nearly got me shedding a tear I tell ya! Such a cute story, lots of Lion King similarities though... did anyone you of notice this aswell!?

5. I am totally obsessed with Instagram at the moment - LOVE LOVE LOVE! I find creating images for it so fun, yes I am THAT sad! (My account)

6. Waaaaaaaaaaaa I didn't get one :( Although.... did anyone? I swear it was there and gone in like 3 seconds! Fingers crossed they'll be back in stock soon and we can all rock the perfect nude lip.

7. I LOVE December. Like... LOVE it. Even just the sight of an advent calendar gives me that warm festive feeling (and this year I have 2!), I'm so excited for Christmas. Next stop - get my tree up and watch Love Actually!

8. Finally! I own a winter coat. After browsing the internet for what seemed an eternity my eyes fell upon this River Island beauty and I have to say it's probably my best buy of the last 12 months! I have had so many compliments on it so far and the qulaity is amazing! IT looks great and keeps me so warm. (Find it at River island - here and Littlewoods - here.)

9. Last but not least....... I have to share my bargain of the week! Black Friday offers were my downfall ... opps - I mean I tried to avoid them but it was pretty darn impossible! I managed to get these gorgeous knee high boots for just £10! I know amazing right? I think I'll be wearing these on NYE.... once I've found a dress or playsuit to rock them with. (Find them - here.)

This Week I'm Loving... #18

Stalker

Yes, once again I have binged watched a TV show and become completely obsessed with it. This is awesome, I'm upto date already and cannot wait for more episodes. I love crime shows and trying to work out who the stalker is each week is awesome.

My Time Off Work

This past week I have had off work. Yes, 10 whole days of no early alarms and having to rush and get up to get ready! I can easily say that I am NOT looking forward to going back on Wednesday.

Paul Mitchell Smoothing Collection*

I recently got sent this collection to try out on my newly chopped and newly coloured locks. I have the shampoo, the daily, treatment and the serum and I have been loving them. KEep your eyes peeled for a full review coming soon.

Jumble Bee Banana Chips

Before I hit Tesco in the week I tweeted and asked for suggestions of what to buy while I was there. I just wanted a little inspiration! Someone mentioned banana chips and I was intrigued, so when I saw these were on offer I decided to give them a go. They are super yummy, I think this bag is going to last weeks, plus you don't feel as bad snacking on the. ... It's fruit! 

Bakewell Tarts

You all probably know now but I am on a chocolate ban. A 6 week chocolate ban! Call me crazy but I need a bit of a challenge in my life! I'm 2 weeks in now and still alive so that's a start! Although I'm not having chocolate I'm still kind of giving in to my sweet tooth and have been picking up different sorts of things to treat myself with! Bakewell Tarts are so underrated! 

Bourjois Rouge Aqua Laque - Getting Reddy

You may have spotted this in my April Favourites! It's my newest baby and I'm in love! Super shiny and amazingly bright this is perfect for summer..... I'm so tempted to invest in some of the other shades too! 

My iPad Mini

I've had my iPad for a while now, I bought it to take to Florida with me, as I'd wanted one for sooo long and thought it would be great for travelling with! This has been coming everywhere with me lately - I'm loving having it from front of me whilst doing the washing up and things.... I realise now home super sad I sound, oh well! 

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Fragrance Mist

Yes, last week I talked about the body spray version of this stuff and now I'm drooling over this beauty! Not only do I own the body spray but I now have a proper fragrance mist to go alongside it. This stuff lasts alot longer and you need alot less, perfect for an everyday morning burst of sweet lime goodness!

Bleach London Rose Hair Colour

I dyed my hair pink!!! Although it's gone now... it only lasted like 2 washes but I loved it while it was there. This stuff was so, so easy to use and I will 100% be doing it again, I may even go for lilac next time!

Tesco Cotton Fresh Candle

Last but not least is a candle and a bargain candle at that. I spotted this on my trip to tesco and seeing as it was only £2.50 I decided to give it a go. This smells so lovely, I love a fresh cotton/linen scent and for the price I'm impressed by how long it is lasting.

My 'Me' Project

Writers block has hit me hard lately, so I'd like to apologise first and foremost for the reduced amount of posts on here.
  I have so many products I want to talk about and so many post ideas lined up in my brain but I can't seem to muster up the words to type - it's very frustrating but I'm hoping to shake it off asap.
In the meantime I've decided to write a post from the heart... you know one of those personal ones with all the feels, not like me but maybe it will help with my writers block?

Recently I've been thinking alot about my life. Work life, my health, my future and I've come to the overwhelming conclusion that I may be having a quarter life crisis!
I've been a bit down in the dumps to be quite honest and the amount of thoughts and negativity buzzing round my mind just isn't on!

So, I thought it's time I took matters into my own hands to turn this feeling around.
It's time to start a ME project. I want to do everything I can to make me, myself & I the happiest and most confident I can be, because like they say "The best project you'll ever work on is YOU."
Those aspects of my life that I'm not happy with are all in my hands and my hands only! Only I can change them and what better a time to start than right now.

First up.... that thing I do 5 times a week. 
My job isn't my dream job, I think the world and his wife probably know that. My whole life I've had one problem and that's that I've never known what I've wanted to do when it comes to work and a job. 
I envy anyone who has a career plan from a young age - I feel like I never really achieved what I probably could have due to the fact I wasn't working towards a goal.
Turning 25 has given me a kick up the butt to strive to achieve. Obviously my dream job and career nowadays would be blogging (or something along those lines) - I have such a passion for it and get so much joy from running this little site - but I know the reality of this is very, very, very slim.
I hope I can find a job I love to go to daily over the next few years, it's just a pain in the butt living on an teeny tiny island with little opportunity, but I'm hoping that I can work towards something closer to my heart than retail.

I've also decided that I really do want to write a book. Laugh all you want but why not eh?
I've said it for a long time now and I've said it in a jokey way to both friends and family but really - whats stopping me?
 I have an idea and want to get started on it soon and even if I'm the only person that ever gets to lay eyes on it, I would have done it and enjoyed the journey. Something ticked off the bucket list at least and something to put my heart and soul into.

Next thing on my 'Me' list is my health. Now this is not only internally but externally too. A few years ago I took my health very seriously and managed to loose a tonne of weight (well not literally a tonne I wasn't an actually elephant) but I feel like recently I've slipped back into some bad and seriously unhealthy old ways and slowly but surely I have started to gain back weight. Something I have been trying to avoid for so long now and my confidence is hitting rock bottom once again.
I need to think more about what I'm putting into my body, I definitely have a sugar addiction and my late night snacking is something which I am loosing control over! I always feel tired and want to feel healthy again, so a new diet and a few big changes need to occur pronto!
I'm only young and really these years should be the best I ever look not the ones where I just want to wear baggy jumpers and the same pair of jeans all the time.
My diet needs an extreme overhaul and I want to make sure I'm exercising alot more. Now the weather is nicer it's going to be easier for me to get out and run which is great, I'm hoping by the time summer hits I will feel comfortable and confident in rocking cute trends in the sunshine.

I'm hoping with starting this Me project I can feel happier, healthier and more positive with where I'm at! The world is my oyster right?

Maybe you want to start a 'Me' Project too? Take control over certain aspects in your life that you aren't happy with? 

Join me - anything is possible, we can be whoever we want to be...... apart from Taylor Swift.... unfortunately we can't be Taylor Swift.

Check out and follow my very own 'Me Project' board on Pinterest - here , I'm hoping it will keep me motivated!

10 Annoying Retail Customers

I've worked in retail/ customer service for a long time - and I have seen and experienced the good, the ugly and the god damn awful over the years! Today I thought I'd do a light-hearted post about those types of customers who really grind my gears!

1. The customer that... carries 3 different "bag for life" bags with them but STILL insists they need a plastic carrier bag for their 1 item. 

2. The customer that... tells "what a beautiful day it is" outside. Thanks for that.

3. The customer that... stands way to close to the customer being served. Back off and wait your turn!

4. The customer that... refuses offers. E.g.

 "You have 2 items and they are on 3 for 2, do you want to go and grab another one as it's free?"

 "No."

 "But it's free."

 "No thank you."

5. The customer that... pays for their transaction and THEN questions you about the price.

6. The customer that... comes in 1 minute before closing time.

7. The customer that... reads your name badge and tries to catch you off guard by calling you your name. 

8. The customer that... points out the god damn obvious.

"Ooooo you're really short staffed today."

9. The customer that...  tells you that you are wrong.

10. The customer that... comes to the till with headphones in.

5 Things I'd Like To Send To Room 101

EXTREME WARNING : Moany and opinionated Kirstie ahead....

Thin Leggings (Especially as trousers)

Don't get me wrong, I love a good pair of leggings - I own leggings, I wear leggings. BUT seeing people wearing leggings that are seriously way too thin just puts me on edge. Why on earth would you think it is okay to wear these as a pair of trousers? We can all see what pattern your Primark pants have all over them and it's just NOT good. 
Remember kids - always check your outfit in natural lighting before you leave the house, I'm not one to judge - but you wouldn't wear a pair of tights on their own would you?

Hankies

Right, this is a serious pet peeve of mine. My hate for these wretched little things started years ago when I worked in a cafe and an older gentleman decided to pay for his order with change.... change that lived in the depths of his pocket with a used hanky -  you can imagine my face right?
I just don't understand the want or need to carry around a little rag full of your snot?! Just use a tissue - bin it and be done with it! Yes that sounds more waseful but surely you're going to keep that cold longer if you keep snot and bogeys up you sleeve or in your pockets #puke.

Rude Customers

I work in retail. It can pretty much suck and one thing I would bloomin' well love to get rid of is RUDE people. I just don't understand on what planet these people think it is okay to walk into a store and be a total asshole? From the delights of the ladies and gents who chuck things on the counter and don't say please or thank you to the angry peeps who can't understand how they are wrong! (Newsflash.... the customer is not always right!)
What annoys me even more is when someone needs something from you, but are so so rude to you - do you really think I'm going to give you a refund if you're screaming at me? #girlbye

THIS message on Netflix

"Are you still watching 'insert TV show/movie here'?"  

YES Netflix of course I'm still watching, the only way I wouldn't be watching would be if I had switched my TV off. Like why suddenly ask me this after I've watched 4 episodes of Friends - clearly that is not the end of my marathon! God - I really thought we would know each other by now we've been in such a close relationship for so long!

Internet Trolls

Last but not least is probably one that you are all going to agree with. Weather it's facebook, youtube, twitter, instagram or even god damn Bebo - there are trolls. Little meany's who sit behind their keyboards or phones and write horrible, nasty and damn right unnecessary things to people they don't know or have never met.
Judgemental, argumentative - I just don't understand it. Like the whole GG thing.... which I never really said alot about - I was so gutted to find out some bloggers who I thought were lovely were behind some of that bitchiness... why? why? why?! 
Be supportive, be nice - if you don't like something? click off! Easy peasy! We're all in the same boat - treat everyone how you would like to be treated! I love other bloggers like real life friends and feel real pride for them on a daily basis!
In the great words of Taylor - "All your ever gonna be is mean."

Bit of a different post today.... let me know what you think!

Vlogumentary

YouTube is something I have watched daily for years.
 Whether it being Blair Fowler OMGHHKPing, Jenna Marbles doing a turtle backpack turtle spin or watching Shaycarl's daily life - I am obsessed! 
I'm sure no matter who you are or where you are from, if you have the internet I can guarantee that you have watched a video on Youtube.
 The Shaytards are a family I have been watching probably for the last 4 years or so and Shaycarl is someone I honestly see as an idol. All the hard work and creativity he has put into every single project he has done truly proves that you CAN live the dream. 
I believe if you put enough work and positive energy into something it will happen and turn into something amazing and if you love your job you will never "work" a day in your life. This is something I really hope for myself and I do hope one day I will be able to say I LOVE my job.
Shay and a few others have made a movie about YouTubers and how it really has changed entertainment and people lives! 
Check it out HERE - if it gets enough "likes" hopefully it will be shown in cinemas! So make sure you give it a thumbs up and share it wherever you can!
For me this is some really inspirational stuff - long live YouTube!
Who are your favourite youtubers? I have sooooo many!!

Wise Words On a Wednesday #2

Time for week 2 of me sharing, what I like to think are, some wise words. This quote I noticed last week on twitter and immediately fell in love ( which also meant I had to RT, favourite and write on my facebook... yeah I like it.)

"Having a dream you don't pursue is like buying an ice-cream cone and watching it melt all over your hand." - Frank Papasso

I really like this as to me it means if you have a dream the opportunity is always there for you to pursue it and therefore have a chance at being successful with it (minus my dream of being a popstar as apparently I'm not that vocally gifted). Otherwise it's going to be there anyway and just slowly slip away because you didn't try.

I like to think that I've taken this on board and any dreams and aspirations I may have I now think I might aswell have a go in pursuing them, whats the worst that could happen?

EAT THE ICE CREAM!
