Last week, I was doing a major haul of beauty products. As someone working in retail, I think it is necessary for the sales assistants to look fresh and well groomed. Here I have selected a few of my favourite products... I bought these in Boots because I didn't want to spend £40 for acrylics amidst toxic fumes of a major salon on Thurland Street. I just feel a tad responsible for the environment, furthermore the independent nail technicians around the City Centre lose a lot of business to the bigger beauty bars in Nottingham. I required a quick fix and these proved appropriate for a gig at the pub a couple of weeks ago. Later I painted them black, so they are very versatile. Notably I like the shape and the faded colour effect.  They were around £7; moderately priced since they lasted a good while. I've replaced this set by 'Elegant Touch' to these that are on my hands now; I don't think that glittery pink lacquer can get any more typical girlie -...

It's been a busy week on the high street in Nottingham, but I stumbled upon an advert for the Independent Fashion Week, featuring new talent from designers and artists sponsored by the Creative Quarter in Nottingham.

In hindsight, I'm glad I went along, there was lots of photographs being taken, an air of anticipation, and little left to be desired. The evening fulfilled it's goal of raising money for Emmanuel H...

As for the upcoming interviews I've had to prepare for over the last couple of weeks, have meant that I've had to furiously scout out the best conservative modes I could possibly collaborate in order to impress my potential employers. With my music enhancing my ego through my head, via the Cash Generator headphones, I purchased for a mere £5 (with a forest green punch) and a pace ready to take on Usain Bolt, I braced myself for the agonising task of finding suitable work wear. In terms of Law Of Attraction, if I conscientiously determine that I will inevitably be awarded with the job I want, and affirm that as a fact despite having not yet arrived at that reality, I must pray positively to 'Spirit' that it has already been granted for me... then the law says it must be true! Anyway, I can develop on that theory at another time, and probably another dimension come then; they say don't run before you can walk! Let's get back to business... It is true a few year...
