Things I'm Loving: Numero Uno.

Apologies for lack of updates,but sixth form has just taken over my life at the minute, and even when I do where an outfit that I that I'd like to put up on here, by the time I get home I'm such a mess, all my make up's worn off and my hairs fallen out of whatever style it's in and I normally get straight stuck into coursework, so sorry! I know I must improve. But, to keep my blog going here's a little things I'm loving at the moment post, which I would actually like to make a regular feature, so here's the first one for you all!

1. The Mighty Boosh

I am a MASSIVE fan of the Boosh boys, and while I've been slaving away over my art coursework, they've been on the computer in the background, keeping me going until the early hours of the morning. I find it a lot easier to repititive work (i.e cutting out photos, sticking them down, annotating, blah blah blah) if I've got something to take my mind off it, so I'm doing it without realising it (does that make sense haha?) and there's nothing better to take your mind off reality than the Mighty Boosh.

2. Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend

My favourite song at the minute, and any song that refers Get Low by Lil John is a winner in my book.

3. Hugging

Hugging makes everyone feel happier. A couple of my boy mates have been having problems with the ladies at the minute so lots of hugs have been in order. One of them said to me that I made them feel loved after I'd given him lots of cuddles, I nearly bloody cried :') It would so much easier if all our problems could be sold with cuddles.

4. Bournville

I've been munching my way through these lately, I'm putting it down to stress rather than me just being greedy.

5. Never Mind The Buzzcocks

Yes, there may be a slight theme to the programmes I watch. Another programme I've been watching during my late nights of last minute coursework, there's just something about Noel Fielding that makes me smile, and Phil Jupitus is very funny too, a very good comedy combination. These little red button NMTB extras I soooo funny (well they are to me anyway!)in one of them, Phil even says Noel's the reason he's still doing Buzzcocks, how lovely is that!

That's it for now, hope you're all well!

Alas, earwax.


Feast your eyes on these my muggle chums, Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans! When my best friend Lauren presented me with these as a gift from Florida, I very nearly weed myself in excitement. I am both a Harry Potter, and a jelly bean enthusist, so this was the perfect present for me. Here's a photo of me trying to convey my excitement:

You can really sense my psychotic excitement can't you? :') As I was saying, my bestie chum Lauren has just returned from Florida, I can't even explain how much I missed her, it literally felt like half of me was missing, that's how important she is to me. After not seeing each other for two weeks, (and barely seeing each other for about 4 weeks before that!) it was rather an emotional affair, me, my boyfriend and our other friend Jonathan surprised her by coming over to her family party (it was her 18th yesterday, she flew back from Florida that night!), and as soon as she saw me she cried, which made me cry, which made everyone laugh at us! For her birthday, I bought her a teacup Pandora charm (which made her cry, then pnce she got over that, my card made me cry!)which fitted in very nicely with her other present off her sister, a gorgeous Alice in Wonderland tea set.

Anyway, back to the beans! I've only just cracked them open, and had 4 so far, I want to save them as much as possible! I've had what I can assume to be Cinnamon Pie, Lemon Drop, Chocolate Pudding and Bubblegum flavoured beans so far, no vomit or earwax flavoured ones so far! There are no flavours on the back like Jelly Belly beans, so you really have got no clue what you're getting and have to rely on your taste buds to tell you, I'm dreading getting a pepper or sardine flavoured ones like Harry and Ron did once!

Speaking of Harry Potter, have you all seen the new trailer? I'M SOO EXCITED! I can already tell they've made some mistakes and done scenes differently, but I'm still excited. I can't wait to see how they bring Sirius, Lily and James back to accompany Harry on his way to be killed by Voldemort (in case you haven't read it, he doesn't die for realz), I hope it's as beautiful as the way it's written in the book, but I doubt it will be, I'm also interested to see how the Battle of Hogwarts and breaking into Gringotts will be done.

Yes, that was an entire post about jelly beans. Thanks for reading till the end if you do haha!
Lots of love, Lottie xxx
P.S just had what I believe to be a custard flavoured bean!
