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. On Tuesday I headed down to St Mary's Church, a beautiful venue in itself to host the fashion event, which on the contrary I found rather bizarre that such a thing would be centred in a traditional place of worship, but that's up for public opinion.

There was interpretive dancing, live music from Blessing Magore also. A genuine effort to put on an entertaining performance was evident. 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
