What's Wrong With Being Single?

This is a topic that has been brought to my attention recently what with the majority of my friends being loved up or in relationships.
This being the case most people seem to think that because you are the single one you must be looking to date or find a relationship.

My answer to this is no!

This added with the ever more frequent "Don't worry you will find someone!" Leads me to think there is a massive stigma especially on females that if you are single you must not be happy!?

I'm going to give you a list of reasons why I am happy being single:
- I can do exactly what I want when I want
- No relationship drama
- More time for hobbies, friends and family
- You can get away with being lazy on the grooming (no need to be perfectly plucked and made up to impress anyone)
- You can be selfish have lots of 'me time' pamper evenings, watch girly films, eat that whole pizza to yourself!
- No heartache - cause isn't that the worst thing about dating?

Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-relationships and am very happy for people who are loved up.
I just feel content with being young and single at the present.
I have more time for myself, hobbies, friends and family and that makes me feel fulfilled.

I've had my fair share of heartache it would seem that dating in this generation either doesn't exist or isn't exclusive and being a person with old fashioned values I find that hard to get behind.

So I'm taking a break not because I am unhappy purely the opposite I am happy with how things currently are. This could all change dependent on the right person but let's get rid of the stigma

Single can mean happy!

Flamingo Candles: The Melt Crowd Christmas Box

It's that time of the month again for the review of the Flamingo Candles melt crowd box. I must admit I am lagging behind with my blogging this month what with Christmas and everything tis the season to be busy!!

Yankee Candle Advent Calendar

Who doesn't love advent calendars? As a child having a chocolate advent calendar in December was the most exciting thing!

This year however I have opted for a non-chocolate advent calendar and when I saw this Yankee candle one I knew I had to have it!

I'm obsessed with candles and scents so an advent calendar filled with christmassy scents sounded like heaven.

White Hot Chocolate on a Spoon

It's that time of year where you just want to sit inside with the fire on drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas films.

I am a massive fan of hot chocolate and always like trying new flavours! 

So when I saw these hot chocolate spoons I had to try one! Especially being the massive fan of white chocolate that I am.

Discontinued Chocolate Bars That Should Be Brought Back

The other week I found the holy grail of chocolate bars while shopping in an American Sweet Store. The white chocolate Twix I remember having one of these when I was younger and then they just disappeared. It got me thinking what other great chocolate bars have disappeared over the years so I've put together a list of the ones that I think should be brought back.

Mars Delight - Mars with wafer yes please.

White Chocolate Maltesers - Maltesers are amazing anyways add white chocolate into the mix and that is heaven.

Drawing For Beginners Weeks 5 + 6

Drawing For Beginners - Week 5 - Dead Pheasants and Animal Skulls

This was not my favourite week of Drawing I have to say dead pheasants, ducks and animal skulls not the prettiest of sites!!

I chose to do the pheasants there were two of them tied together but I only got time to draw the one. Learnt a few techniques one how to create the feather pattern by shading in and rubbing out.

Before this we got to draw animal skulls - for some reason I find it very easy to draw bones as with the skeleton in week 2 (here.)

Drawing For Beginners: Week 4 - The Drapes

Week four of Drawing For Beginners- has been the hardest one yet we had to draw drapes/sheets using chalk and charcoal.

We were taught to draw the outline in chalk and use the charcoal to add shading.

Depending on how dark the shadows were we had to layer white chalk and black charcoal to create the varying shadow colours and to give the sheet the texture with all the bends and folds.
