Yes, hello, I have become that kind of cliché blogger, but I have no shame.

Oh hey, you pretty people, how are you all doing? Today's post is a chatty one so get yourself a beverage of whatever form you choose and tuck in!

I've missed blogging, so I figured any excuse was a good one to get typing again. I mean, technically I still want to write stuff, I still want to talk about the things I've been wearing, the make-up I've been loving, and sharing all the things I've been sharing for 4 years now. But it's just not working. I don't know if it's because my brain isn't at it's best at the moment or if it's because I've just run out of ideas, but I sit down to write a blog post and every week I find myself staring at a blank page.

How do you intro? Let's get on with it, that sounds like fun.

I'm finding a fair few shows on Netflix at the moment, and it's safe to say that it's being very damaging to my productivity and general work ethic. But who needs a degree when you've got TV right?.. I mean.. right? *sips tea nervously*

It's quite a miracle I've managed to find shows that I like, because for a show to grab my attention is rare as fuck. I'm not sure why, but I just can't get addicted to a show to the point where I'm binging it at every given opportunity. Sigh.

Before you say, yes, I'm aware I'm a *bit* late. Back to school has been rather hectic and I haven't had the chance to take the photos until now.

August has been a jam packed week for me. It really has. It's been busy, I've been all over the place, but the good part is that I've seen all my favourites, and along the way I've accumulated a couple of things I've been enjoying, too.

I've got more make-up favourites for once which is a nice change.

BareMinerals 'Complexion Rescue' Tinted Hydrating Gel

I had already tried this a while ago and it really wasn't for me. However, I found it at the back of my cupboard and decided to give it another go. Turns out, over the summer my skin has finally caught the sun, so it actually now suits my skin tone. So yeah, at first I honestly didn't get the hype at all, but now I really do. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while now and I'm kind of annoyed that I didn't realise I had what I was looking for under my nose.

Mac 'Lightful C' Spray

I don't understand what this is used for, but I just like using it as a little pick me up, my skin can feel quite 'meh' in the morning and this kind of just wakes my skin up and helps me feel a bit fresher.

Game Of Thrones

Season 7 has honestly been one of the best seasons yet. Just the show in itself, just to look at is beautiful, incredibly well shot, the acting was on point, just, uh! I haven't got enough words to express my love for this show.

Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On

I heard about this from Hannah Witton, because Erica Lust was interviewed in the first episode, so I decided to have a look. There's a film on Netflix called Hot Girls Wanted which is kind of the same thing.


Essie Nail Varnish in 'Midnight Cami'

I've been searching desperately a new dark nail varnish because dear lord there are none in sight, then Mama bought this Essie nail varnish. Even though I've never tried an Essie nail varnish, I know them by reputation, and I really wanted to try them out. This one is in the colour 'midnight cami' and it's a really pretty dark blue.

dodie 'You' EP

dodie is very quickly becoming one of my favourite singers. Her songs are all beautifully written and produced and they're just amazing. 'You' is her second EP and I'm obsessed, my favourite song being 'in the middle' which is actually about a threesome.

'The Café Of Lost Youth' by Patrick Mondiano

I like to say that this book is similar to 'Little Women', in the sense that you enjoy reading it but you have no fucking clue what's going on most of the time because of the lack of context to everything. Despite that, I've been oddly enjoying it and can't bloody wait to find out more about the mysterious 'Condé' (which is a café in the book).

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've kind of lost the habit when it comes to blogging, which is an odd sensation given that it's something I've done regularly for the past 4 years. It feels good though, I'd missed blogging. As you've probably seen, I've also done some major redecorating over the past couple of months, what do you think? I'm actually pretty happy with it, which is a refreshing change. I'm between two minds for my blog design, whether I should make it very clean and minimalist or whether I should do a very random and original design, though I am really enjoying this current layout so I think I'm going to stick this one for a bit.

I'd really like to say that things have been super hectic at the moment and that "I've simply got no time to blog!" but I'd be lying through my teeth if I did. Honestly, this has been one of the most unproductive summers I've ever had. I kind of feel terrible for it but it felt so good!

I passed my exams in June and left my college and got my qualifications and began looking for a job. I had a couple of trial periods but they didn't amount to anything, and after a really awful experience with a salon, I started really questioning whether or not I wanted to stay in hairdressing. It was kind of a terrifying thought, given that for about 3 years I've been convinced and insisting to everyone that hairdressing is what I want to do. I look like a *bit* of a tit. I've been thinking about what I want to do, and long story short, I'm going to be (hopefully) doing my a-levels in commerce.

As I said, this summer has consisted of varying between my girlfriend's house and my Mum's house. I feel like I haven't done all that much else, other than my job at the pizzeria next my my Mum's and babysitting my girlfriend's nieces and nephew.

I guess you may be wondering why I went fairly AWOL recently, and to be honest it's just been a total lack of inspiration and motivation. I seemed to have, overnight, lost any capability to write something sassy and original and interesting that would captivate people. And more importantly, I'd lost the motivation and the willingness to do so, for the first time in about 3 years. Everything I wrote seemed bland and a little lifeless. I felt like I was writing the same content thing over and over and I just didn't want to tell you guys yet again 'what I've been loving this month!' with a fake smile and pretty photos that took me an age and a half to take. It started to feel exactly that - plastic. Fake. Unoriginal and more importantly unauthentic. It was me, just not quite. I write in the same voice that I speak in, but sometimes I struggle to get across the nuances and the tonalities, especially when I'm being sarcastic. But that's beside the point. The point is that I needed some time off. Some genuine time off, and not a note at the end of a post saying that I'm taking a week off, only to continue posting. I needed some time where I could close the tab in my browser that has been open constantly on every computer I've had for 4 years - the Blogger tab. I needed some time where I could let myself not wonder how my latest blog post is doing. I needed to let myself be a person before I was a blogger.

Anyway, I'm off on my holibobs (does anyone say that or is it just me?) on Saturday and I'm thinking about writing a post with some photos because it's meant to be a really nice place. What do you guys think?

Matti x

Hey all, how's you?

I've got to say, I'm not doing too well with this blog malarky, am I? I'm trying, guys, I really am, but life has become very hectic all of a sudden so I'm doing my best to balance everything out, but something had to suffer and sadly it turns out that something was my blog content. I figured to get myself back into things I'd give you guys a little run down of some things I've been enjoying using of late. There's no particular month or anything to this, just things I've been liking recently.

Hey all, how's you?

It was my birthday in May, so instead of doing a May favourites, I asked you guys what you preferred and you guys said that you wanted to see a birthday haul, so that is what I am giving to you.



KILLSTAR 'Witch' Beanie

I was peroosing the Killstar website (which is basically all I ever do, not going to lie), and I found this little gem. I've needed a beanie forever and a day and I just thought this was perfect. To be totally honest it may be a tad small, and doesn't really look right with my hair this short, but I just need to wait for a bit for my hair to grow a bit more.

'Reality Boy' by A.S King

Mama gave me one of A.S King's books for Christmas and I'd reaaally enjoyed it, and in the back of that book was a part of this book. It's about a guy who has anger management problems so I think I'm really going to connect with this book.

'The Meaning Of Liff' by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd

If you've been reading my blog for a while this may ring some bells. I've wanted to get this book for ages, but for one reason or another I hadn't, so I figured it was the time to get it!



Silicone Rainbow Plug 

In case it wasn't yet obvious I'm a raging lesbian. I did a crazy factory order - of course I did.

Bullet Plug

I already had this plug in 8mm, but seeing as I think I'm going to stick to 12mm for a bit, I figured I'd let myself buy it again.

White Stretching Expender

I still currently need to stretch from 10mm to 12mm, so that's what that's for.

Black Hoop Earrings

I need a simple earring for my non-stretched ear! I'd stolen an odd one off Mama but it kind of started a weird infection so I decided to take it out and replace it with one that Marion lent to me, but given that I'm going to need to give it back at one point or another, I figured I needed to get my own. These are just really simple black hoops.

Fake Eyelashes

I've been curious about fake lashes for a while, and when I was trying to thaw out my Crazy Factory order, I saw that there were some fake lashes that were on offer, so I figured why not and picked some up; I don't know about the quality, but I'm hoping it'll be okay enough for me to see if I like them or not.



In The Café Of Lost Youth by Patrick Mondiano

I read a passage of this book for my literature mocks, and it actually seemed like a really good read so I decided to pick it up since I'm long due some reading material.

JustFab 'Mitchie' Boots

Look, I'm aware that these aren't exactly 'summer' shoes, but I'm not really a person for showing my toes, so I tend to go for closed-toe shoes, and I've had my eye on these for aaages and I decided to finally

I'm not going to lie, there's probably going to be more, but so far this is what I have! I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know in the comments what the best birthday present you've ever gotten.

Hey all, how's you?


I'm pissed. You know why? Because recently, I feel like my eyes are being opened by women have to put up with daily. First, I learn that many of my female friends were raped or sexually agressed when they were younger. Then, I watched a short film by the amazing Sammy Paul called 'One Another' that, yet again, shoved the inequalities faced by women. Next, a mere couple of hours after I watch that short film, my best friend calls me in a panic because a guy cat called her in the street and, when she didn't answer, proceeded to follow her for about 5 minutes, shouting things at her!

You understand? Still not? Then allow me to elaborate. The more I grow up, the more I realise just how shitty it is that I have a vagina. I am going to be less likely to get a job, because I have a vagina. I'm going to be shouted at in the road and I'm expected to be okay with it, because I have a vagina. I can't dress a certain way, because I have a vagina. In some countries, I'm considered less of a human because I have a vagina. My sexuality isn't just my sexuality, but it's also considered 'sexy' and 'a turn on' to people with penises, because my partner and I have vaginas. I'm going to get paid less, because I have a vagina. I have to ask my friends to come with me somewhere because I'm afraid of someone jumping at me, because I have a vagina. The slightest thing I say can be construed as flirtatious, and almost immediately means I want sex with the person on the receiving end of this 'flirting', because I have a vagina. If I get raped, it'll be my fault, because I was asking for it. Because I have a vagina. 

I'm expected to fit some perfect mould various people with penises have created; I'm expected to agree with everything, to nod and wave, to not have any body modifications and god forbid I have any body hair, or anything that could put off someone with a penis because then how would they get off to their totally deformed idea of what a woman looks like? I'm not meant to be anything other than a size zero, I'm not meant to have any excess fat or body rolls, I'm meant to have a flat stomach and double D tits and a arse like Nicki Minaj or Jennifer Lopez.

If I sleep with no one I'm a prude who doesn't know how to let loose, but if I sleep with too many people I'm a slut. If I wear jeans and a roll neck jumper I'm not making the most of my assets, but if I wear shorts and a crop top I'm asking for it. If I get raped, it's my fault. If I get mildly annoyed, I'm hysterical. If I show said annoyance, I'm an angry bitch who's probably on her period and needs to take a chill pill because who in hell thinks that maybe, just maybe, I could just be pissed off at a world that will automatically think that everything is my fucking fault and if I'm not born photoshopped and if I'm not what is considered at the time 'beautifully' then I'm not worth it and I'm considered 'less than' other people and not because my menstrual cycle has affected my mood! I’ve become cynical after a while. I sneer at the prospect of being treated like an object because I’m a woman. I roll my eyes at the concept that I’m never really going to be listened to because I’m a woman. In any case, we're just dumb bitches who need everything to be explained to them slowly.

Like I said in the title of this post - what about the women? We so often get forgotten, because people just expect us to follow willingly. 

Hey all, how's you?

I've been a bit out of sorts on my blog recently. I'm not really sure where I want my blog content to go, because let's face it, there's only so many times you can talk about lipsticks, so sorry about the odd posts and strange posting dates.



I'm going through a lot of changes in myself recently. My interests are changing, my style of thinking has done a 180, and I'm finding myself interested in things that I would have found weird once upon a time. Actually my life is doing a 180 at the moment. Given the fact that I'm finished college, exams are upon us, and everything feels very final. I'm currently stuck with what to do next year, given the fact that I can't get an apprenticeship until I get my qualifications, but I need to do stuff with the school involved with the apprenticeship but I can't given the fact that I can't get an apprenticeship. Also, I need to inscribe myself to my backup course. GAHHHHH. It's a massive vicious cycle and it's scaring me because everything is just teetering on 'nearly happening' but then life is moving too fast for everything and it's a very strange sensation and it's basically just making me want to hide in bed and watch Friends all day.

Long story short, everything is going to shit, but it's okay because it was my birthday so I'm going to have a shit ton of money to buy pretty shit. To be honest, being able to find discount codes everywhere is starting to become an art, I swear, it's wonderous.
Speaking of pretty shit, I've realised more and more that I'm a massive snob when it comes to make-up. I swear I turn my nose up at anything that doesn't have a certain price tag or a certain name, and I KNOW HOW BAD THAT IS but I just can't help myself! I just can't trust it!

I'm trying to write and create and develop my skills in music but it's just not happening. I'm trying to get better at song writing and playing guitar but I'm totally unmotivated. I don't think right now is quite the right time for me to learn anything like that, given that I need to make my exams my main priority (says the girl writing her blog while she's supposed to be revising).

SO YEAH FUN TIMES. On the mental health front, I had a bad pass a week or so ago when I was constantly having panic attacks for seemingly no reason, but they seemed to have calmed down. My anxiety and my paranoia is on a normal level and I haven't had a really low day for a while now (touch wood!). I'm making the most of this time where my brain is fairly level to try and understand my mental illnesses better. Trying to understand what triggers me, what I should and shouldn't do; my logic behind it is that the better I understand it, the easier it'll be to conquer it.

I'm not sure if there will be a May favourites, I have got a load of clothes from a friend and I'll have a fair few purchases what with my birthday money so I may just do a mega-haul, I'm not sure yet. To be fair, I'll probably put a poll up on Twitter and let you lot vote.

Hey all, how's you?

I feel like March and April have been the longest and shortest months ever; it's so strange! I have, however been loving loads of different things over these couple of months and as usual I'm going to be sharing them with you guys!



Urban Decay 'Vice' lipstick in Blackmail
This is the lipstick of my dreams. I've been waiting for a lipstick like thiis before I knew I wanted one. It looks black, has red and purple undertones, and it just makes me look badass and everything good in the world.

A Place Of Secrets by Rachel Hore

I've already discussed my love for this book, but it's going back in here because fucking hell I have been glued to this book for the whole of March! It got juicy (yes it's a bit of a slow starter) and now I'm dreading the end!

'That's The Spirit' by Bring Me The Horizon

I'm aware that a lot of my music favourites are a bit late (far too long after the release!) but I realised that I'd never listened to the full album, and when I did, my love for BMTH was rekindled. The lyrics, the music, the meaning, everything is just utter perfection. I couldn't pick a favourite because I love them all!

Killstar 'Bella Morte' dress




I came across this dress because Harmony Nice featured it in her March favourites and as soon as I saw it I knew I needed it in my life. The lace detailing and the whole witch vibe it gives off is right up my street and ohhh it makes my heart happy. I'm really trying to get some new dressed at the moment for the this summer because I honestly have none so if anyone has any good sites for clothes that aren't too expensive hook a girl up.

'Divide' by Ed Sheeran

Needless to say that this is a work of art. It's so well written and everything about it is amazing. My favourites are Galway Girl, Shape Of You, and Castle On The Hill:

'Ask The Passangers' by A.S King

THIS BOOK. THIS FUCKING BOOK LORDY LORD. It's possibly one of my favourite books ever. It's about a 17 year old girl from a small town, who is also kind of in love with a girl. As you do. It's all about questionning your sexuality and the solidity of friendships when it comes down to it, but it also has loads of references to great minds like Socrates and Plato and I just think it's such a good LGBT book. I honestly read it in about 2 days. The only criticism I have is that the end didn't have much of a ´wow' factor and I still had questions that went unanswered.



Bourjois 'Velvet Edition Rouge' in 'It's Reddin' Men'

I'm now obsessed with this liquid lipstick. I've always had an appreciation for liquid lipsticks, but a lot of them dried my lips out, so I gave up on them and stuck with my trusted matte lips (that also dried my lips but fuck it). Then, when I tried this, my life changed. The formula is really nice and smooth on my lips, it applies really well and lasts for ages.

Caroll 'Samantha Ruby' dress


Every year my school put on a fashion show, and this year I was singing with a friend of mine and for this fashion show, there are shops based in the town where my college is who lend us clothes and the shop who was lending me my outfit was a shop called Caroll. This was the first thing I tried on and even though at first I felt really uncomfortable and weird, it very quickly grew on me. The clincher is that it costs 130€ (I can confirm I choked when I heard that). It's so pretty though! It's beautifully comfortable and can be dressed up and down. All the heart eyed emojis.

Hey all, how's you?

I've made a fair few purchases of late, and seeing as I haven't posted for a while I decided I'd go ahead and do a little haul to make up for it!



Urban Decay 'Vice' lipstick in 'Blackmail' - 18,50€

I've been looking for a nice, dark lipstick for ages now, and whilst in Bordeaux (our version of Manchester, to give you an idea of the size), I popped into the Sephora there and decided to pick up Blackmail, simply because I'd fallen in love with it as soon as I'd set my eyes on it! It looks like a black lipstick but it's got red and purple tones in it, too which makes it less harsh.


Bourjois 'Rouge Edition Velvet' liquid lipstick in 'It's Reddin' Men' - 14,50€

I've been tempted to pick this up for soo long now, and every time I see it in a shop I'm just hesitating, before dragging myself out because I was going to end up very late if I didn't. Then, at one point, I forget when, I gave myself a serious talking to and bought it because life's too bloody short!

Bourjois 'Volume Clubbing' Mascara - 14,95€

I'm not going to lie, I'd never heard about this mascara, but I need a new everyday mascara and saw this when I bought the Rouge Edition Velvet. The wand is a brush wand and it doesn't look too complicated to use, and that's all that matters to me when it comes to mascara, really.

Sephora 'MicroSmooth' compact powder in chair clair - 16,95€

I got this simply because Mama was doing a Sephora order and I badly needed some powder. Turns out it's actually pretty good and keeps me looking matte for a lot longer than I would expect. I got it in the lightest one (I'll give you 3 guesses as to why!) and I'm really happy with it so far!

Bourjois Eyeliner in Ultra Black - 12,99€

I had money, I wanted to treat myself and I had no eyeliner left. I let the salesgirl win me over because she was hot. JUDGE ME. I'm actually fairly happy with this. I've tried it a few times now and the only negative I'd give it is that if you shake without the cap on (because you do tend to need to shake it a bit to get the product out after one eye) it goes EVERYWHERE. So just beware of having black hands if you do. Other than that, it looks really nice, has quite an impressive staying power and the line is nice and crisp.

And Other Stories 'Drawstring Sweatpants' - 39€


Okay so technically I didn't buy this, Mama did, but she gave it to me because it ended up just not fitting her. They're beautifully comfortable and really well made. I'm honestly obsessed with it and I can tell I'm going to be wearing them until they're in shreds!

Jennyfer 'Never Mind' t-shirt - 7,99€ was 12,99€




I went on a bit of a shopping spree with Mama and treated myself to a few new tops because I had literally nothing to wear otherwise! This is the first thing I picked up because I like the metal/rock group style t-shirt thing.

KILLSTAR 'Bella Morte Lost Babydoll' dress - 44,99£




I first heard about this dress from Harmony Nice. As soon as I saw it I was immediately like "YES. YOU. COME TO ME. NOW". I'm aware that it's a bit pricey (for me at least) but it's really good quality and it's got all lace everywhere and there's a cut-out at the back and it just makes my heart really happy. It's actually a lighter material than I'd expected it to be so it'll be perfect for summer, too!

Jennyfer cropped shirt - 11,99€ was 19,99€



Again, I just found this adorable and it keeps up my lesbian stereotypness with the plaid. What's not to love?

Jennyfer grey and red t-shirt - 9,99€




I really like how simple this is. It's pretty easy to style with just about anything, and the red on the collar and sleeves add a pop of colour. (lol, I'm terrible at talking about clothes I'm so sorry)

Sorry I've been away so long, but I'm back for good now!

I'm all emosh. Don't ask me why, I have no bloody idea, but I am. I feel like everything's crushing me alive and I don't think I can deal with everything alone anymore. But this blog post isn't just a pity party for myself, I'm writing this because I had an epiphany tonight and I felt the need to talk about it - you shouldn't feel ashamed about letting your mental illness win from time to time. Before you start sharpening your pitchforks and loading your guns, let me explain, yeah?

If you have any mental illness, you'll get me when I say that fighting your mental illness is hard and fucking tiring and draining. And that means that it gets worse, and it's really just a vicious circle that goes around and around until you have nothing left. That's not a way to live. Sometimes you just have to, in the words of Ash Hardell 'ride the wave'. So from now on, I'm not going to beat myself up when I spend a day in bed because my anxiety just isn't happening, or when I just stop trying to be strong for a bit. It's not toxic as long as you can get back up and keep fighting after that. Even the strongest soldier needs a break.

It's unrealistic for anyone to think they can continuously battle their mental illness alone. It's just not possible. Of course you're going to have days where that's all you can think about but that's not something you should be ashamed of. And one thing that annoys me about certain mental health blogs and blog posts that I read is that they almost bully people into thinking that it's a terrible thing to feel bad and let yourself feel your mental illness now and again (no shade to anyone, there are some amazing mental health bloggers out there, but some less good).

You feel like shit? Okay, take that day off. Let yo'self stay in bed and binge-watch a show you're not really even watching. But the hell you better get yo pretty ass out of bed the next morning and show your mental illness that's you're nobody's bitch!

It's all about balance. You need to let yourself find that balance. Beating yourself up and saying you're weak because you're not pushing down feelings that need to be felt is not healthy and will end up hindering you more than helping you.

You are not weak because of a down day.

Hey all, how's you?

This is the first favourites post of 2017! It's kind of crazy to think that this blog turned 3 years old two weeks ago. It's fucking insane. Anyway, I decided to miss out on December favourites simply because it was mostly just a run up to Christmas and I was just re-using products I had already told you guys about. This post was meant to be chock-a-block with beauty products, I promise you it was, and then my entire make-up bag was stolen at college... again; hopefully this time I'll learn to be more careful! A good 90% of my make-up is gone and I'm going to have to restart my make-up collection all over again, so please excuse the lack of anything make-up related.


TooFaced 'The Chocolatier' palette

I got this palette in the Chocolatier set that I got for Christmas, and I've been using it all the time. It's a really good on-the-go palette. It's a little less pigmented and buttery than I had expected, but honestly given the colours and shades of the eyeshadows and the blush/bronzer/highlighter honestly just makes up for it. However, the blush is so fucking pigmented it's insane. 

Arctic Monkeys - AM

I'm aware that I'm very much late to this party, but I'd always been aware of Arctic Monkeys, but it's only really recently that I'd started listening to them. I'd always had a couple of their songs on my phone, and I'd always meant to listen to the full album, and I finally did, and I'm now obsessed. Something about the cool vibes, mixed with Alex Turner's accent and his blazé slur when he sings, it just makes it such a pleasure to listen to.

Hair tattoo



More specifically, my hair tattoo. I've become a bit jaded of my hair of late, I'm growing my roots out to bleach it but I'm finding it difficult to find a cut or anything that I'm really obsessed with. Then, the other day Marion and I were in the salon with nothing to do, so she sat me down and handed me a google images page and told me that she wanted to try hair tattooing and that I was going to be her crash test dummy. I flicked through and found something she could base herself off. Marion is a really good artist and generally I just let her do whatever the hell she wants with my hair, so I just let her play around and I'm obsessed with what she's done.

Extraordinellie

MY FAVOURITE HAS GOT HER BLOGGING GAME UP! Ellie is one of my closest friends and if you're an O.G reader, her name may ring a bell. She launched her blog on the first of January and it's really fucking good! I may be a bit biased because I'd read Ellie's shopping list, but still, she's funny, she's fancy and she's sassy. What's not to like?

'A Place Of Secrets' by Rachel Hore

I first started reading this book when I was about 10 or 12, and then my copy evaporated. I had no idea where I'd put it and I, for some reason, was incapable of remembering the title or the author. Over Christmas, I went for a hunt for it and after looking near and far, I finally found it again and my Dad bought it for me for Christmas. As usual, you'll have to find out what it's about yourself because the plot is quite thick and there's a lot of different storylines, but it's written in a way that they all correspond and it's not at all confusing.


TooFaced 'Better Than Sex' mascara

I got a sample of this mascara in the chocolatier palette, and at first I was really disappointed and figured it just wasn't for me. I continued to use my Urban Decay 'Perversion' as usual, but then once that was stolen, I decided to give it another go and turns out I'd judged it far too soon. It's really nice, holds a curl really well, and is actually pretty long lasting.

Rings

I got these rings from Crazy Factory and ohhh they make me so happy. They're pretty as hell, even though the one with the stone in the middle is heavy as fuck! But still, they make my heart happy so who cares. You can find them here and here.

Skins

Funnily enough, this show is seriously popular in France, and after hearing about it from everyone and their dog, and the countless edits on Facebook, I finally decided to give it a try and I'm now addicted. I've ploughed through the first season every weekend and I bloody love it.
