Just when you thought all the monthly favourite posts were gone, here I come creeping out of the woodwork keeping you on your toes. January has been a hellish month, with 6 weeks between payday I spend most of it debating whether or not I could afford to buy a cookie at subway, and then buying it anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
My first favourite this month was a candle that I got for my christmas from Benj. I absolutely must have a candle burning at all times and this one is the perfect combination of sweet and warming at the same time - it makes my room smell slightly like a bakery. The candle is the first one I've ever had from New Look and I am more than pleasantly surprised at the burning length and scent give off.<br />

My second favourite is more beauty related and my saviour this past month. Just before Christmas I decided to get acrylic nails for the first time and boy do i regret it. I loved having them on, however when I took them off I had never been in so much pain in my life. My nails are unhealthy thin to the point I could barely use my hands without wanting to yelp in pain. After some research (I googled it) I went out and purchased Sally Hansen's nail strengthener from Boots and it has given me some hope that I will have normal nails again one day. </div>

Following on from that, I also purchased some cuticle & nail oil from L'Occitane to help my poor nails as much as possible. It is the perfect size to just keep in my handbag ready to pop on whenever I am applying hand cream or my nails are aching a bit. </div>

In other news I am off to Sri Lanka in just 3 months and so I have been crazy busy filling out all the forms necessary. I picked up this notebook when I was in Singapore in September from Kikki.k, and never really had a use for it until now, but I have been picking it up whenever a new list or task comes into my mind.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With Valentines Day fast approaching, we enter the time of year where every store is adorned in various shades of pink and every chocolate becomes heart shaped. One of the things I dread the most is trying to buy a present for guys, whether it is birthday, christmas, brother, boyfriend or father. Despite writing this I am still absolutely clueless of what to get Benjy so alas maybe I need a few more gift guides myself.</span><br />

A lot of people (mainly girls) will say that a friendship breakup can be worse than a relationship ending - and it is true, girls can especially be so horrible that a fall out over something mundane can turn into WWIII. I will put my hands up right now and say that I, Eilidh, am a serial indirect tweeter. I love them. I love making the cryptic messages, and more than half the time end up making them so obvious I might as well tag the person in them. Yet as I get older and oh so wiser, I've realised that sometimes, whilst they are shit, friendships can and will end naturally on their own. The jump between high school and university can put strain on any friendship, you go from seeing your friends everyday at lunch, to having to organise nights out and dinners in advance.<br />

This past year I've started to really see the friends that have made the effort and those who haven't. With about 90% of students working as well as studying, there has been occasions where (myself included) hasn't been able to attend organised occasions by our friends, and yet I found myself asking to meet up with people multiple times only to be brushed off with the old work excuse. It gets to a point where you have to ask if it is worth it, if it is worth constantly being put to the bottom on a persons list of priorities.<br />

I dont react well to change, especially if I myself have not initiated it, however I react even worse to being ignored and feeling neglected. During the peak time of puberty I witnessed several friendships end, sometimes they were my fault, and sometimes I did nothing to help solve the issues and instead decided to shit stir (not even going to deny it). It was these friendships that helped me to learn how to navigate my friendships in the near future and whilst I still muck up, I am able to remember that twitter fight I had in 2013 and be like 'Actually maybe I shouldn't tweet that'. Almost 4 years on, I am starting to reconnect with old school friends, and I love seeing how we have grown up and what they have accomplished in the years we have been absent from each others lives. I spent the past couple of months of 2016 feeling like shit. I was spending time I didn't have attempting to stay in contact with friends who had made it obvious they wanted nothing to do with anybody from school, I was left humiliated after being turned away and then seeing posts on social media of them with other friends - and in turn missed opportunities where I could have been seeing real friends who actually make the effort that everybody deserves in a friendship. Even if we are only able to see each other mainly for birthdays, Christmas' and whatever dates we can fit in-between, its my oldest friend Lindsay that I know I can contact about anything and she would make the effort to see me - even for a brief couple of hours. It is that kind of friendship that I crave as I move on and start to tackle different aspects of my life, not the part time friends who can easily lie to your face.<br />

At school whenever there was an argument, everybody found out by lunchtime and offences and defences decided by home time, nowadays there is a strange element of 'is this it?'. No large blow up, minimal indirect tweets and the acceptance that you probably won't speak to them ever again. At the end of the day, it is the people who make the effort, who will show up and not use the same excuse over and over again, who will have friends they can turn to when they have a problem. I know I am incredibly lucky to have some of the friends that I do, and I can't wait to experience our upcoming milestones alongside them.<br />

This past October saw my boyfriends birthday, and to celebrate this we booked a weekend away to Amsterdam - a place that both of us had always wanted to go for slightly different reasons. Whilst the idea of coffeeshops and bars appealed to Benjy, the eccentric nightlife of the red light district and the sex museums appealed to me, particularly in the spirit of where I work being so heavily revolved around lingerie and sexual aids.<br />

Staying a little bit further out from the centre of Amsterdam, we did have to take a 10 minute bus back and forward, however with a 48hr bus pass costing €12.50 and the transport being so frequent we were more than happy to do this. The hotel itself was based around artwork and rather modern compared to some of the smaller, more traditional looking hotels in the city centre. </div>

After spending our first afternoon relaxing and having a general mooch around the city it was a perfect way to finish the night off.<br />

One of my favourite parts of the trip was visiting the Van Gogh museum, and whilst not being a massive art fan, I've developed a deeper respect from Van Gogh and his brother's relationship. Sadly photos weren't allowed inside the museum apart from one giant portrait of the man himself.<br />

With both Benjy and I being massive fans of going out for a drink or two, it would have been stupid of us to head to Amsterdam and not visit the Bols Academy/Museum.<br />
<span style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></span>

Part way through the museum, we were ushered into cubicles and filmed taking the shot, whilst various lights and parts of the room moved in order to demonstrate the effect our various senses can have on taste. With your ticket covering a free cocktail of your choice at the end of the tour, I cannot recommend it enough to anybody looking to kill an hour or two in the city. </span></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl31DqYLp52vYWclU_0Ef6EAXvFVrVxOHXuroUEt_qmM1kw6RQS9tcEIhZQfSDpxpnj5DQF8Ls4yR2gMkBrJ2OSz8IvA81Rf_FWqVbRYUiazwz52ItGKHjb2plD7eKuTtVILFcCymFkwNU/s1600/P1060257.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFB0n4TcLLHFcNXEWhQlOcqCwhrsT92cd8Fs8DR3s6BicvE_aZJ-W5dsX362jnAKHSycbxGHnTATn9YXlt7HSIynH_jivackF4x_QT5FMnE0RIduOoMj4UyhqNXRj9hWdpEhhfonQHj1y1/s1600/P1060276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFB0n4TcLLHFcNXEWhQlOcqCwhrsT92cd8Fs8DR3s6BicvE_aZJ-W5dsX362jnAKHSycbxGHnTATn9YXlt7HSIynH_jivackF4x_QT5FMnE0RIduOoMj4UyhqNXRj9hWdpEhhfonQHj1y1/s640/P1060276.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3bx-la2mBJ7QIaxfgTfyfWa1ZwhZhR9J7A3inT6oyVJD7FajpbJBoBHT2W__PI_f6dSOSl1_B8tamFGdGX72PTAhY9kTgWszfx9izFYrdjANHYj25Ty6BXq1IL-8Tipt7hOIS3knScubw/s1600/P1060313.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3bx-la2mBJ7QIaxfgTfyfWa1ZwhZhR9J7A3inT6oyVJD7FajpbJBoBHT2W__PI_f6dSOSl1_B8tamFGdGX72PTAhY9kTgWszfx9izFYrdjANHYj25Ty6BXq1IL-8Tipt7hOIS3knScubw/s640/P1060313.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhanI-jz7lYA3BAITS7LukSa35B3atMA58vgJS3ziIHIG0NUUl8_2dbXGIg5UGxulSi8Hn2vPvDOujoOewaQMb1lKhnJznK3izYmAy2TTFhkwN_9fzklFI-0rtCm_SxFE1WS5thbJODfDrN/s1600/P1060254.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhanI-jz7lYA3BAITS7LukSa35B3atMA58vgJS3ziIHIG0NUUl8_2dbXGIg5UGxulSi8Hn2vPvDOujoOewaQMb1lKhnJznK3izYmAy2TTFhkwN_9fzklFI-0rtCm_SxFE1WS5thbJODfDrN/s640/P1060254.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl31DqYLp52vYWclU_0Ef6EAXvFVrVxOHXuroUEt_qmM1kw6RQS9tcEIhZQfSDpxpnj5DQF8Ls4yR2gMkBrJ2OSz8IvA81Rf_FWqVbRYUiazwz52ItGKHjb2plD7eKuTtVILFcCymFkwNU/s1600/P1060257.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl31DqYLp52vYWclU_0Ef6EAXvFVrVxOHXuroUEt_qmM1kw6RQS9tcEIhZQfSDpxpnj5DQF8Ls4yR2gMkBrJ2OSz8IvA81Rf_FWqVbRYUiazwz52ItGKHjb2plD7eKuTtVILFcCymFkwNU/s640/P1060257.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo_tTZ3HLN0MXbPJgEiJp_hcJ-oGkhx7byfGf9WaUWhK4sLgOGBrK49pyVAajmwDJRjGGJX1iByphjqTuqfbRPJ3Bs7SEfCXLZ_bPAGLqOhDHoOWAV5le6_utkADeQ05jvVK9vGowVtTTE/s1600/P1060260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo_tTZ3HLN0MXbPJgEiJp_hcJ-oGkhx7byfGf9WaUWhK4sLgOGBrK49pyVAajmwDJRjGGJX1iByphjqTuqfbRPJ3Bs7SEfCXLZ_bPAGLqOhDHoOWAV5le6_utkADeQ05jvVK9vGowVtTTE/s640/P1060260.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

Basically the whole trip was booked on the foundation of myself wanting to visit the sex museum, and it did not disappoint. I finally got my photo with the 6ft penis chair and watched Benjy get slightly more mentally scarred with every room we visited. We did go relatively later on in the night so I could see why the narrow staircases and small rooms could be off putting if you were to visit during peak time, as well as it being quite overwhelming if you are maybe a bit shyer when it comes to sex.<br />

With Benjy starting back at college on Monday we did have to keep the visit short, however I would happily go back for another weekend in the summer (it was bloody freezing and snowed on our last day) to explore the city a bit more as there was still so much to see.<br />

A lot of people talk about the sadness that winter often brings. As we headed into November, into the darker nights, the longer work hours and the uni deadlines, I've found myself really struggling against the autumn to winter blues. Having been in this slump for the past couple of weeks, I have been desperately trying to shake off the feelings that have gotten me in this dip. <br />

Due to working in retail, my job hours have been hectic and add that to exams I felt constantly overwhelmed and exhausted. The week leading up to the start of my exams I was working every day, and that combined with staying up to study meant I was constantly grouchy and temperamental (shout out to my boyfriend for being on hand with revision snacks). This isn't to say I haven't enjoyed the lead up to Christmas, I've loved snacking on churros at the markets and having the excuse to wear sparkly dresses. It just meant that things I enjoy spending time doing (i.e reading, blogging, shopping) went to the back of my list of priorities.<br />

The past month has shown me the benefit that pampering sessions can have on helping you destress. Small things like getting my nails done, booking a massage for the day after my exams or even just lighting candles whilst I revise helped give me the slightest bit of sanity during exam time.<br />
With Amsterdam coming up and having accepted an internship in Sri Lanka, I can't wait to blog all of what 2017 will bring.<br />

When they say the jump from first year to second year of uni is big, they aren't kidding. In the past month I have been writing a new essay every week, going straight from one to another with no breaks. This combined with working after uni pretty much everyday has resulted in everything else falling wayside. Due to this, I haven't really kept track of my most commonly used products or read any books outside course ones this month and so I thought I would do a more general overview this month.<br />
<br />
October was a very food oriented month, with it starting off with my visit to a little baking fair which I spoke about in <a href="https://wordsofquigg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/edinburgh-day-out.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The main event in October was probably my boyfriends birthday on the 15th, and we spent the weekend watching musicals and eating copious amounts of curry and naan bread. His mum kindly bought me a ticket for my birthday to go and see Billy Elliot at Edinburgh Playhouse and bloody hell was it good. Having never seen the film I was dubious about going to see it, but after crying my eyes out I can safely say I very much enjoyed it. The next musical was Miss Saigon which was being shown at the local Odeon, this was probably one of my least favourite musicals I've ever seen. The cast were great, the plot and music just never appealed to me very much.<br />

This was my first year working over Halloween and it was sheer hell - never before have I seen so many women fighting over the last size 8-10 in a slutty devil costume. I also got screamed at by a woman who came into the shop 20 minutes before we closed on Halloween, looking for cat ears which she needed urgently for her party that night. Top tip - don't leave your costume shopping until half an hour before your party. Dressing up for work meant I was your stereotypical basic bitch - a cat, an army girl and a bunny. Inventive.<br />

Another plus this month was getting to see one of my old coworkers who is currently living in France for a year. We went for high tea at a little tea shop called eteaket just off George Street, and spent the afternoon blabbering away over scones and numerous cups of tea.<br />

Aside from uni and work, this month was been full of catching up with friends and eating various forms of cake. How was your October? x <br />

Last week I had a rare weekend off and spent the Sunday having a break from essay writing, and spent the day with my mum who popped over for a visit. I love Edinburgh, there is always something on and on this particular day there was a bake fair where all the cakes were centred around a 'boozy cake' theme.<br />
<br />

<br />
Located down at cowgate in the Three Sister's pub, my mum and I wandered down around lunchtime whilst it was still relatively quiet. As well as some cake stands there was also a dessert pizza stall, gin stand and a fudge stall. One of my favourite things about the fair was how many of the cakes and sweets were vegan friendly / gluten free, which is handy when one of your best friends is a vegan and you're looking for bakeries to eat at.<br />

<br />
Naturally both my mum and I sampled some of the goodies available, with my mum choosing a 'hummingbird' cake whilst I went for the mojito drizzle. This cake - holy crap. The icing was slightly sickly once you started to reach the end of your slice but I would defiently recommend <i>all about patisserie</i> to anybody in Edinburgh who is looking for something different.<br />

Afterwards my mum and I went for a spot of lunch and a wander down the royal mile, before she headed home and I went back to attempting an essay. It was really nice spending the day with my mum and having a weekend where I wasn't surrounded by customers. </div>

If I had to pick a time of the year it would be the last couple of months. October brings autumn rain, Halloween, my boyfriends birthday and 80% of females wearing a berry lip (including myself).<br />
<br />
September was full of uni work, travelling and spending that beautiful student loan on stuff that I don't actually need. Due to this my favourites this month has been a random assortment of things - from books and antihistamines.<br />
<br />
The first thing I've been loving this past month is a clothing item that I purchased off ASOS. I haven't actually really worn a cardigan since school, but this grey woollen one looks so great just finishing off any outfit. I took it with me whilst travelling, which was great for keeping in my bag and throwing on once landing back in Scotland.<br />

I had picked up the book 'Asking for it' by Louise O'Neill without really knowing what to expect and holy hell was it insane. I don't want to say it was good, because there were parts that were upsetting to read and the ending was both realistic and unsatisfying, but it was so eye opening that I would recommend it to anybody in a heart beat.<br />

If you aren't a musical / cheesy tv type of person then this show probably isn't for you. I started watching this on the plane home and you can only imagine my delight when I found out it was on Netflix as well. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is one of those silly shows that can quickly become your guilty pleasure, and I binge watched series 1 as soon as I could.<br />

I did only get this towards the end of September but I think it's too pretty not to put in my favourites. I have so many store cards/bus passes etc that I need a purse with lots of card slots and this one holds all my cards perfectly.<br />

Oh look another Gillian Flynn book! I picked this one up to take to the beach in Vietnam and finished it within half an hour. I don't think I will ever forgive Gillian Flynn for ending the novella on such a cliff hanger and if anybody feels the same, lets start a petition to get a full book from it.<br />

One of my only beauty related favourites this month has been this Barry M nail polish from the Molten Metals Collection. I own both the bronze and copper one, they go on thickly and don't take too long to dry which is a massive bonus. The only down side is that they can chip quite easily, but with a good top coat you can easily get a good couple of days out of it without any top ups.<br />

Upon my trip to Singapore I can confidently conclude that I could never live in a city with a Sephora. In one week I managed to go to 3 different Sephora stores in some sort of expensive, therapeutic bar crawl.<br />

I'm not a big person for face masks but I do suffer quite badly from dark circles under my eyes so thought I would pick these up and give them a try. Aimed at brightening the undereyes, I can tell these will be my saviours particularly as it gets closer to exam/deadlines time.<br />

After my boyfriend smashed my Becca highlighter, I was in two minds over trying a new highlighter or just repurchasing my trusty old Becca. I saw this tarte one and loved how similar it was to my last one. The pigmentation isn't as good as my last one but the price is definitely a lot more purse friendly. </div>

I am officially in love with this foundation. It is long lasting, thick coverage with just one pump and matches my skin tone perfectly. I've been using it everyday since I bought it and will definitely be repurchasing it once it runs out. </div>

I'd debated for so long on buying NAR's cult classic 'orgasm' blush and finally decided to get it as we enter Autumn. Whilst I love using more bronzer during the summer, once we hit the autumn months I tend to love getting that naturally flushed cheek look that this blush perfectly gives me. </div>

The 3 lip products I got were the Sephora lipstick, Kat Von D liquid lipstick and Sephora lip tint. The first lipstick is a rich berry colour which doesn't dry out my lips like my MAC liquid lipstick in the same shade. I was dubious about trying the Kat Von D lipstick as I normally find liquid lipsticks too drying but after swatching it on my hand, I continued loving it throughout the day and picked one up a couple days later. A coworker of mine had bought one of the lip tints whilst on holiday and I knew before going to Singapore that I couldn't leave without getting one myself. They go on slightly glossy but that is easily remedied with some blotting and they leave a lovely natural look if you prefer having a lip product slightly less obvious. </div>

Whilst I was in Singapore, my dad and I decided to go visit Hoi An in Vietnam for the weekend. Having never really considered going to Vietnam before, I was slightly dubious but found myself really enjoying the weekend and would very happily go back again.<br />
<br />
Staying just a couple minutes walk from the Old Town, we spent most of the weekend wandering around the streets, visiting the local food markets and exploring the temples.<br />

I arrived in Singapore yesterday morning and after napping on and off, I decided to get out and walk around a bit today. I hopped on the MRT (Singapore's version of the tube) and after about twenty minutes arrived at the Botanic Gardens station, which was very convenient in that as soon as you got out the exit the gates were right there - unlike the Chinatown station where there are about 6 exits and is essentially hell on earth. Naturally my camera died almost as soon as I arrived but I managed to take some photos on my phone. <br />

The gardens are massive, a lot bigger than I expected and after seeing a lot of people doing yoga or just lying on the grass, I would definitely consider going back with a book next time and just chilling.<br />
<br />
After this very relaxing and chilled morning, I did end up going to Sephora and ruining any chilled out vibes I had by spending all my money so that is that. xAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02397988055633182812noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389530512235819743.post-64298033091966108872016-09-11T12:11:00.000+01:002016-09-11T12:11:21.445+01:00What is in my hand luggage <br />

This time tomorrow I will be on the plane to Singapore, and so I thought I would upload a quick 'what is in my hand luggage' post. I love travelling, and so far this year I have been to both <a href="https://wordsofquigg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/rome-2016_4.html" target="_blank">Rome</a> and <a href="https://wordsofquigg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/torremolinos-2016.html" target="_blank">Spain</a> so getting to go to Singapore as well is extremely lucky of me.<br />

My actual hand luggage is just a plain brown slouchy tote that I picked up from H&M for £13. With two 7 hour flights, I do normally pack a change of clothes for when I travel to Singapore, just to freshen up during the layover at Doha. Obviously the main thing in my hand luggage is my passport - if you forget this you're screwed.<br />

Naturally I am also taking my laptop with me and due to missing some uni lectures I plan on catching up on some of my missed work whilst on the plane and also drafting some blogposts. I have the macbook air so it is nice and light and doesn't take up too much room in my bag thankfully. </div>

I don't normally bother with makeup for a long-haul flight so my toiletries are pretty scarce, with my The Body Shop tea tree night cream, some antihistamines and deodorant wipes being my main necessities. I prefer wipes opposed to spray as I think they feel fresher in the long run as well as I don't like the idea of using the spray on the actual plane itself. I have a lot of problems with my sinus' so always like to have a packet of antihistamines on hand in case.</div>

Over one year ago, my gran started to become ill. It wasn't noticeable at first but as she become worse she lost the ability to look after herself until the stage where she wasn't safe to live on her own. After attempting to have her remain in her home with the use of daily carers, it was decided that the best option would be for her to go into a care home. Diagnosed with vascular dementia, my gran's cognitive function will be impaired more compared to other dementia sufferers, meaning she often struggles more when it comes to talking and verbal tasks.<br />
<br />
Affecting more than 135,000 people in the UK alone, Alzheimer's Scotland is a charity that works to provide families with support - ranging from dementia cafes to day centres. I recently took part in The Great Woman's 10k on the 5th of June to help fundraise for Alzheimer's Scotland - raising an amazing £410 for the charity.<br />

Whilst the run itself was gruelling (it was 25 degrees and I got a very sunburnt nose), at the end I felt over the moon when I remembered what all my money was going towards. Watching a loved one suffer from Alzheimer's can be upsetting, especially when they reach a stage where they aren't able to recognise friends, family or even old photos of themselves. By providing paid carers this, like any carer for any illness, gives the family time to themselves.<br />
<br />
Caused by the deterioration of brain cells through a type of protein, Alzheimer's can affect anybody regardless of their health, however people who suffer from strokes can be more vulnerable to vascular dementia due to the lack of blood flow to their brain. Statistics from 2013 showed that there were an estimated 86,000 people suffering from dementia in Scotland alone, with 67% of the sufferers being female.<br />

Whilst it is somewhat uncommon, there have been studies which has shown dementia to be hereditary in families, and with other family members having suffered from the illness by contributing to the charity through my sponsored run I, in an albeit small way, feel as though I am helping contribute to the every day living of those dealing with Alzheimer's.<br />
<br />
It is because of this that I have decided to complete another run, this one in the bitter Scottish cold in November, around the Kelpies. It is only a 5k compared to my first run, but I'm sure the weather will provide some delightful obstacles. Let the training begin!<br />

Having just come back from my holidays and getting ready to visit Singapore for a couple of weeks, I have been reading a fair amount of books. My favourite by far is Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn - an author I absolutely love and having read all her books, I can confidently say that this one is a piece of her best work. I love a good whodunnit and despite having been pretty on the ball with her other books, the ending of this one completely shocked me. It is twisted, gruesome and pretty dark but what more can you want in a thriller? </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another form of entertainment I love is musicals, and living in Edinburgh during the Fringe means there are new ones popping up everywhere. One of my favourite pieces was Buzz the Musical - a musical all about the history of the vibrator. I was actually lucky enough to receive free tickets through work as they used some of our stock in the production and all of us were in fits the whole way through. Not for the light hearted, the humour was rather dry and the actors weren't scared to hold back which made the overall show even funnier. </span><br />

Due to saving for my holiday, I haven't been trying out a lot of new beauty products however I did treat myself to some new goodies from Body Shop - including their much coveted tea tree range. I am a big fan of the Mango range and so I stocked up on some of their mango shower gel which I'm sure I will be replenishing a lot more soon. </span><br />

With my birthday came presents, and one of my favourites was my speakers from my parents. I enjoy listening to music when studying - Gabriella Aplin, Ed Sheeran & James Bay are key artists in my playlists. Connecting via Bluetooth the sound is nice and clear, however I am too scared to see how loud it is at top volume due to having downstairs neighbours. They arrived in a little wooden box which I loved as I don't have to keep an ugly cardboard box in case of any warranty problems. </span><br />

Another present I recieved was this little elephant tea holder from my best friend, Lindsay. I adore elephants having got the chance to feed them two years ago. It sits nicely on my bedside table, with is not being too bulky or distracting - I am yet to buy an actual tea light for it though. Lindsay always buys me a book on my birthday and this year it was a Gillian Flynn one showing how well our taste in books overlap. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I was recently contacted by Boutique of Molly who asked if I would like to do a review on them for an item of my choosing. I chose the Fleur High Neck Cut Back top in a size 14.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have very recently gotten into tops with a halter neck or any off the shoulder tops so this one immediately caught my eye on the website. Whilst it is just a plain black, this gives it the ability to be dressed up or dressed down, with me choosing to wear it with jeans and heeled boots on most days.<br />

One of my problems with the top is the sizing came up very small, with a lot of the products only going up to a size 12/14 on the website - something which meant I was worried if the top would even fit me once arriving. In my honest opinion this does mean I probably wouldn't shop with the company frequently just because, whilst I wouldn't say I am particularly large, I do tend to buy clothes in a size 14/16 just for the comfort around my chest.<br />

The halter neck does look great with a bold lip and a simple hair updo and I will most definitely keep an eye on the BOM website for one off tops. The material feels nice against the skin and washes well, and the top arrived within two days of me ordering it which was a nice bonus as it meant I had it in time for my holidays. </div>

Overall, I am thankful for the opportunity to work with Boutique of Molly on the review but would recommend being wary on the sizes if you are on the slightly bigger side of size 12/14 like me. </div>

The hotel itself was very quiet, with it mainly being older
couples which suited us fine as we weren't particularly wanting a very exciting
holiday, with the most drama being when Benjy lost at bingo.<o:p></o:p></div>

In true 'Scottish person on holiday abroad' I did manage to get
spectacularly burnt - with my swimsuit leaving a lovely white cross across my
back and my thigh managing to only get burnt in one space about the size of a
side plate. Nailed it.</div>

One of the issues with the hotel was the food, whilst it was
great it did revolve largely around seafood which neither myself nor Benjy are
particularly keen on. Other than that the drink prices were great, the hotel
nice and clean and the staff lovely so no complaints.<o:p></o:p></div>

The nearby beach was lined with the typical tourist shops with
some really good little cafes, and we spent our final day just wandering along
the side streets and buying stereotypical tourist trash. One of my worst habits
is buying trashy, cheap key rings whenever I go anywhere. A Merlion from
Singapore, a Vespa from Rome and now a flip flop from Malaga.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Having booked this before we booked Rome we had been slightly
worried that spending a week just the two of us with minimal phone would result
in Benjy being drowned in the sea, but following the success of Rome we were
chuffed that there was only one threat of death passed between us (never attempt
to beat Benjy at bingo)<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The transition from school/college can be a stressful time without adding the pressure of a relationship to the mix, however the topic is often one discussed well in advance between the majority of couples. I was fortunate enough to end up in the same city as my boyfriend - not through planning but by both of us getting into our chosen places in Edinburgh. Despite this we did still have the "do we or don't we" conversation, and with us both not planning on seeing anybody new, we decided to keep our relationship going throughout university. </span></div>

As far as I am aware, university is for studying a chosen degree, something that will (hopefully) go on to help you get a job in a specific field, not for ending a happy relationship in order to gain 'new experiences' in the bedroom or on nights out. I am still able to go on nights out with my friends, and I am more than happy to hold their drink whilst they get with a guy or take them for a consultation mcdonalds when they don't pull. One thing a lot of people don't tell you is that university can be lonely and that if you do have a partner having them there, whether it is in person or via FaceTime, can make the world of a difference. </div>

There will be times when you get jealous or feel like you aren't getting enough attention, and when your boyfriend studies Musical Theatre there will be (a lot) of times you feel threatened by the size 8 dancers he spends 5 days a week with. Unfortunately that jealously is natural in relationships, and it is just making sure that it doesn't escalate into an uncontrollable state, I also wrote a post <a href="https://wordsofquigg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/staying-organised-at-university.html" target="_blank">here</a> about helping manage your time at university and splitting your time between friends and boyfriends. Long distance can easily intensify any feelings of being ignored or jealousy but you and your partner will know yourselves if it is worth it (and a good majority of the time it is). </div>

At the end of the day, every relationship is different and every couple will know what works for them and what doesn't. Living in the same city as them doesn't even mean you will spend 90% of your time with them - I am a 10 minute walk from Benj and I haven't properly seen him (other than walking to work) in about a week. Being single at university isn't the end of the world, and neither is being in a relationship. Yes, I have missed out on nights out because I've rather gone to see Benj instead but personally to me its all worth it. </div>

Within the next month I'll start my second year of studying Psychology at university, something that frightens the crap out of me. Finishing last year with a 97% in one exam and being 2% of an A in the second, I ended first year feeling really proud of myself for juggling a part time job, a relationship and maintaining a social life whilst still passing all my modules and exams.<br />
<br />
One of the downsides of my course is how much reading is involved - whether its textbooks for an essay or journal articles and studies for seminars. If I am not writing an essay, it is pretty much guaranteed that I will be reading a textbook that I will end up referencing for half a paragraph in the final draft. I will put my hands up and admit that I had skipped out on some (a lot) of the reading I should've done for seminars but for the most part I stay fairly on top of things. Obviously life does get in the way and I have found myself pulling an all nighter to get an essay handed in on time - 6pm till 6am anybody?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Keep a to-do list </u></b><br />

It sounds so blatantly obvious but sometimes just having all of your chores written down in front of you makes a world of difference. I got this little pad from Kiko last summer whilst in Singapore and as well being absolutely gorgeous, I love the different sections including the 'something for you' section which comes in handy when reminding myself of the exciting things planned outside of deadlines and 9:15 lectures. </div>

One of my worst habits is getting home from work, completely ignoring the fresh food in my fridge and making a bowl of supernoodles for my dinner. Not only was I wasting food when it inevitably went off before I could eat it, but also money when I had to repurchase - and chicken is expensive when you're a poor student. I recently started writing out meal plans (with some leniency) and I have already saved so much money as well as restricted the amount of junk food I am binging on. I'm currently loving finding easy recipes on Pintrest, especially ones that require only having to shove something in the oven or use one pan. </div>

With lectures, essays and work rotas, life can get a little hectic without incorporating friends, boyfriends and general relaxation time into the mix. My boyfriend is lucky in the way that his collage schedule is pretty much set each week with only the occasional change around show times - with infrequent written work needing done outside of class (I say this, he probably does get assigned tons and just doesn't do it) meaning that a lot of the time it is up to me to work around my reading in order to spend time with him. Whilst I'm not saying ditch your work for your boyfriend and pals, having the occasional night off can let you tackle that final essay draft with a clear perspective the next day, and stop you from isolating yourself from your friends. </div>

<b><u> Plan ahead </u></b></div>

<div>
Whether its planning around a special occasion or just making an essay plan, having that little bit of preparation can make your life a whole lot easier. If I am travelling to Dundee or know I am going to be working a lot around the deadline, I force myself to make sure I at least have a good 80% of my essay finished before any events happen - not only does this give you time to amend any mistakes but it allows you to go on nights out guilt free. If you are like me and have a course which is 95% essay based then you will either love or hate essay plans. For me, they help me get the ball rolling as I normally struggle with what to write after the introduction/first paragraph, and although I normally veer off track by the end of the essay it is a useful tool to help get rid of any writers block. </div>

I love birthdays, whether they are mine or a friends, and so as soon as we reach mid July I immediately kick into countdown mode. Whilst 19 is a rather boring age in terms of having become a legal adult the year before and not quite being out of your teens yet, a birthday is still a birthday and I was determined to enjoy it nonetheless.<br />
<br />
One thing I hate is surprises and its because of this I can be quite specific when I'm asked what it is I'm wanting from my parents - and I have been known to even make powerpoints to send to my parents. However I did still get some lovely surprises from both my family and friends, including my present from Benjy which he successfully managed to get in the right size this time.<br />
<br />
With it being my first time away from home for my birthday it did feel a bit weird not having the usual present opening with the family, however I did go home a couple days before hand to go for a meal and some birthday cake. The cake was just one bought from Sainsbury's but I thought it looked amazing with the different shades of pink and it tasted pretty good too - if not a little sickly from the icing.<br />

To make up for not being home, I was treated to a lovely breakfast at City Cafe in Edinburgh - it has some seriously amazing food for pretty good prices which is handy when you're a broke student but like eating out.

I did still see my mum on my actual birthday when she took me for lunch at Orocco Pier in South Queensferry - it is located with the most insane views of the Forth Railway Bridge and if you book a table its always worth asking for one by the window. </div>

Despite being determined to last the whole night out, I ended up tucked up in bed with a drunken takeaway by 10 past 1 in the morning - a poor attempt on my behalf. I truly was spoiled by both my family and friends, and I was so grateful for everybody that contributed to helping make my day so special. </div>

God love Missguided - after royally screwing up with a discount code, I managed to purchase almost £200 worth for only £70. With my birthday coming up I was browsing the website anyway for a dress but who could pass up an opportunity for some absolute bargains?<br />

Having recently bought a pair of heeled boots and loving them, I decided to treat myself to another pair. The heel is a nice comfortable height without making me amazonian height, and the black suede goes with a good 95% of my wardrobe. </div>

I did also buy another pair of shoes however I wasn't expecting the heel to be quite so high, which means I will probably have to keep them for nights out over regular day to day wear. Since both pairs of shoes are suede I'm not sure how often I will be able to wear them before they inevitably get marked by the rain but alas I shall try and avoid ruining them for as long as possible. </div>

After months of waiting the time has finally arrived for me to move into my first proper flat. Like a lot of first year university students I stayed in university accommodation last year, meaning I was still under the presence of security, accommodation services and student volunteers. We actually signed the lease for our flat back in January so the whole flat situation had been put to the back of my mind as exams, moving out of accommodation and general life took over. If you are ever looking for a flat in a city with a heavy student population my main tip would be to start look early on in the year, we started pretty much straight after Christmas break and were fortunate to get the 3rd flat we visited however I know of others that struggled finding places particularly later on in the year.<br />

Having moved back home for the summer but still working in Edinburgh, the thought of being able to leave within the hour of my shift has made me so unbelievably happy. One of the most obvious things to do in preparation for moving is to make a list of both things that need done, and things you are planning on taking. However, despite doing this, I still managed to forgot coat hangers and an extension lead for the second year in a row. Go figure. I am also a big fan of using suitcases and asda bags over boxes - mainly for ease when carrying up the three flights of winding stairs to your top floor flat.<br />

If you are moving out for the first time I would recommend making either your room, or at least one room in your flat, as comfortable and/or homey as soon as possible. Whether its putting up photos or putting a particular blanket on your bed, having something familiar around you will often help those first nights away. </div>

How fast is the year going?? We are now officially in August (aka my birthday month) which means lots a presents for me as well as being spoilt. Throughout July I've collected quite the selection of favourite things<br />

I have a lot of difficulty finding a makeup remover/cleanser that actually budges my eye makeup, and so far this is the only one that has stood up to the challenge. Due to it being so lightweight it doesn't leave any weird feeling residue on my skin afterwards, as well as being refreshing to my skin.<br />

As soon as it hits my time of the month (shout out to all the ladies out there currently hating life), I get the lovely treat of getting doses of cystic acne particularly around my chin. With my normal spot treatments not working during these particular spells, I done some research and discovered that manuka honey is a particularly good natural remedy for cystic acne. After learning this I popped off to Holland & Barretts and picked up this spot treatment in the sale for £2.99 and it has worked wonders. It dries clear and works at reducing redness and inflammation within a couple of hours.<br />

Ok who hasn't seen Devil Wears Prada? If you haven't then you need to sit down, have a good chat with yourself and educate yourself on the genius that is this film. I read the book a couple of years ago and I've recently decided to reread it and I'm loving it.<br />

TREAT YO SELF. Worst thing about working in a store is always wanting the stock, hence why as soon as I got paid I had to treat myself to this gorgeous set. The colour does a great job of making me look a little less deathly pale and will also look gorgeous when I finally do manage to get a tan.<br />

This one is a bit of a cheat considering I'm rewatching it for what is probably about the 4th time, but it has remained a special place in my heart. Quick summary, Head of Diagnostic Medicine, Gregory House, works with a team to help solve obscure medical cases whilst battling against the ticking clock that is death. It is loosely based on Sherlock Holmes with both of them having a drug problem and being some of the greatest minds in their field.<br />

Another book I loved this month is Pretty Girls - a crime thriller following a women discovering what truly happened to her sister all those years ago. Quick warning this book is pretty graphic and rather gruesome so if you don't like to even think about blood then this book maybe isn't the best for you. Whilst the plot does start off well, I did find it getting slightly farfetched and dragged out towards the final couple of chapters but nonetheless I did enjoy it over all. I do love a good crime thriller though and if you are looking for a good thriller that doesn't require too much thinking then this is a good option.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">One thing I am yet to understand is the appeal of the beauty blender - the real techniques one to me is perfection. It helps me apply my foundation evenly and is great for helping keep concealer in place. Whilst the majority of my brushes are either Real Techniques or Sephora, if you are just getting into makeup or don't want to spend a lot of money on brushes all at once I would definitely recommend the Beau Belle which you can buy on Amazon, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beau-Belle-Make-Brushes-Professional/dp/B00L63JI94/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1469464605&sr=1-5&keywords=beau+belle">here</a>. With you being able to purchase sets of 24 brushes, it can be handy for figuring out what style of brushes you want to purchase before moving onto a more expensive brand. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Having only just started using Urban Decay foundation, I'm still getting to grips with it as I sometimes find myself having to build it up a bit more than I would like. After blending the foundation on, I use my holy grail Wake Me Up concealer on my blemishes before placing my NYX one underneath my eyes - using my mini blenders from Primark to avoid any creases. As much as I love trying new makeup items, I always find myself going back to my trusted MAC studio fix to help control my combination skin. It does give good enough coverage that if I am feeling confident enough about my skin that I can just use the powder and concealer on my own and I'm good to go. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Upon first trying out this blush I have fallen in love and I would like every single shade of it please, thank you. The pigmentation is amazing, it is long lasting, it blends beautifully and despite initially being disappointed with how little there was in the bottle, a lot goes a long way. As soon as I have the chance whilst in Singapore, I am hitting up a Sephora to grab some more of these beauties. Another Sephora goodie is the bronzer, a deep natural looking bronzer with just enough shimmer to make me look like I live somewhere a lot more exotic than Scotland. Since I do like to make it look as though I am reasonably tanned, I do prefer BECCA'S Opal over Champagne Pop, this might change as the year goes on and I get paler but for now I am loving the more golden peach tone of Opal. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">One of my issues is that I feel bald if I don't wear eyeliner and yet I am absolutely crap at applying it, however Supercat is super easy to use with its felt tip nib. My Stila palette comes with such diverse shades it is perfect for travelling with especially if you're planning on lots of different eye makeup looks. My old holy grail mascara used to be They're Real by Benefit however I found it an absolute nightmare to remove at the end of the day. Seeing as my eyes are particularly sensitive, I needed something a lot easier to remove and thankfully Roller Lash provides the same volume and curl that They're Real did but with non of the stubborness. </span></div>

Due to my dad's job I ever spent a portion of my childhood living in Texas, USA. One of my favorite things to do is to look back on old photos and reminisce about some of my favorite holidays. With one holiday down already this year, I am already counting down until I head off to Spain at the end of August, before heading back to Scotland for a brief 2 weeks and then I'm back off to Singapore. <div><br></div><div><b>1. Bintan, Indonesia </b></div><div>A gorgeous little island located just an hours ferry from Singapore, I've been fortunate enough to visit here twice in the past couple of years. </div><div>The first time we visited we stayed at a little hotel that was located right on the beach front, where we were able to eat our meals whilst being graced with the choice between a beautiful ornate pool or the beach itself. </div><div>Seeing as we all loved Bintan so much, we ended up going back the following year - this time renting a villa complete with butler service and our own golf buggy to drive around the 'village'. The infinity pool at the villa overlooked the beach and it was yet another weekend spent just relaxing in one of my favorite little places. </div><div><br></div><img id="id_441b_48cd_da28_c3af" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMSWd1H82ftDWW2E3idf0FEZ2WKEEgrNVI6AdowolBCOjIHSlITTPh88h_Lhj4SnfRydNvugKGOqd1-IdIaho_BrODOAxNcYu4hzmGMhdMEVL73I702dLqGBJtgXC9xAU4NKBe48dxnnsC/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_7af1_f7e5_3ad9_e67a" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj119b9bHWVkyHEuS19mJofH9JOFeDIL4ytvVCOko8hwRHkKdG1SJHZuScnzs2l-BOigo2i9UIH2tZaRwrcG1Xm88PzhOQVywOF1zyueA_I6oIPwN3_HtuF8pF5ALXKwCFHvHytt3adiNAp/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_783d_7b15_a6f3_fca8" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwwe2ez7tfvqlIMV1OjBRuN2JetmlpMsp-QgTtpT9pJ-gyw9kSSLbJc_l0N3OrNwwn2763r4ZarA_nWivlV2QBapJiUSvq0nUukwOaXnI_iRDl8wPS9GYuOTHIM6TJy7WugduwqzZfJQcV/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <div><b>2. Paris, France </b></div><div>The idea of going to Paris had always thrilled me and so with my standard grade French skills at hand off we went - and I fell in love instantly. Paris has always been somewhere that I would love to back to however Benjy isn't so keen. The culture, art and mainly food quickly caputered my heart and what girl with a penchant for chick flicks doesn't have her mind set on at least one romantic moment occurring by the Eiffel Tower? We also stayed in a hotel right on the Champs-Élysées meaning we were right in the city center and the hustle and bustle of it all. We did go a couple of years back so unfortunately the pictures are rather grainy and don't fully capture the beauty of the city but alas they will have to do. </div><img id="id_6b49_cdde_263d_28e9" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8a5DyWUzeXD8GkzmzgvncWc3i9NaIHWXW9f_NmyJ8eMbx4tWjV7lsoCUKTVFwebdSaXcLGb7ngLHc79jtIetFg3bQBQg44zodSNRA3lIWWDwW5jHhTmGEa-pjCEoYQ9_XmoHV_hBc3hpi/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_eab_3089_757a_7948" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghmXJHXIvroGhtGjRgBUqR4TEfqDjh2eK0JhYdxfjuWwjnfBlTfsuNNlAgLC3jHDJ5Q-QXNG9_nRRGqLlb5FJVGMj_HOgxulp732Ne6kH91yB0hEcm_-NiW7zXrUSj4n2EmLqFri_PVrV8/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_b69a_5194_9692_215d" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM918aDMa5pSHjhJHzhiEWfnNMpTH8VNQoNS_xbjavJfLn3_fvFDs4QL0d45dguCCIlK8sXMe-iCs6V6XnCud1FLdJqrAioB2DUw6oGOkZqN-VDrlPAEHG7MvMn6rAb83cDUgWk749JCYh/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <div><br></div><div><b>3. New York, USA </b></div><div>I have both fond and sad memories of my trip to New York - the sad being we were there when Cory Monteith passed away and so my glee fan girl brain unfortunately always associates this holiday with that moment. However, it was New York where I discovered and fell in love with my favorite musical, Once, which I was lucky enough to catch on Broadway during Arthur Darvill's run. Phenomenal. To say that I am a city girl would be an understatement as yet again I thrived off the constant chaos that seems to encapsulate New York (also the shopping is insane). As I had not yet watched Gossip Girl before going on my trip I feel I'll probably have to go back some day even if I am a 38 year old woman sitting on the MET steps. </div><div><br></div><img id="id_9b36_22ff_496c_70fe" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2uZ0ln4WLc9o264Lg4NEn-hFld7HPxlElQ25hXDPxbBICLFMfpc8adBca0VES-qHZSccavoNItphq3FA4hP1pzGZb9S_1lJNgh2vtTEaT2lyRwobZIANNEgW1Cm-NYph549j-yE1GltVc/" alt="regardless to popular belief my brother did actually enjoy the holiday " title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto; margin: 4px;"> <img id="id_3eaf_f4f9_d6e1_10a2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjosjoW8Q6WJ7kfyqDWkf8V4mJAIEdo5BlU6ZRAF-eSBq2f2TK4COMljuvMse5ft8-D9fg08e41URxsJ5k2CqAVgRXdB_pGWK53jAztjZqOSKC2oaSSuwaA7f8N9gbFmge5B3ixYDdK8dCC/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <div><br></div><div><b>4.

London, United Kingdom </b></div><div>It has been a tradition over the years to go for a weekend in London just after Christmas - a tradition Benj and I stole last year. Whilst I'm not a diehard musical fan, I love going to see shows and over the years I've been lucky enough to see ones such as; Matilda, Phantom of the Opera, Shrek, Book of Mormon and yet again Once. Whilst I love all the other places I have visited, London is the one that has a special place in my heart. Maybe I might even end up living there once I've finished my degree, due to (hopefully) my line of work having more opperutnities im big cities. </div><img id="id_11f9_b79d_8805_8f58" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHKhDUyUp9dZBoFbASgl2Nn7EzdNIioYW2Dogd9r2aDvjJ7Z3YtmpSkz-BVawS9GIb9G0lXI5rHWUDWqD1S9sNKYpKAySuRKJk2SMZ-jzZWTuX5XcX2HWxcH8gAfJZa1-3XAWIkL1a4B6B/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_64b3_d150_882_d9c5" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZXbk1a-K9lHVwZRVvKjVvOl0iE2k3twrjhvlKmYwHfeY1azzWoe_-FifZVNM85XNeI4IRWMN04DuMudR3XoG684Os_UbRnDfnxosXQfcTD0Nk6B8LIQc0oufSiRgVSFij27ZvUk0Hk8L/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_f6cc_c66a_e64d_113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhaC-Be8cQkNDMvbQxROaCGtZ2zOtqa7ITUXBCLuh_tS7L4Wo2Ef_0K8rEkUpIEHJKr7eENuaVOW0e7Ghh5z-cu1UxVQjd0_JEVXDIJ4I4XF5idnch9r_l4LxnfKk2GSKW-IlOof8pSSs/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <img id="id_adf_bc7_9b5_37de" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-exsUN24shMpwd8DBTCerM0MBMNvO_HaZ-PMVSKBZZ4_KMk-IN_UffBWZ2innE6p3Dn82HCxtP5gge2ZqhWYWH0wO3OHvOoxrExYUYw5n2jIvRIkrbBb0aSzdRYFy-JcHzEHkVnVv-3oI/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <div><br></div><div>X </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02397988055633182812noreply@blogger.com0
