My sweet little best friend has broken her arm. It’s her right arm too so I’m sure she is sat up in bed with a very sweaty mop of hair and no make-up on. Just kidding Charlotte, I’m sure you look beautiful. I need to pop over to her place armed with some treats, magazines and Malteaster Bunnies. Get Well Soon <3

I love listening to music I haven’t heard before and being like, oh I love this more than cheese. I really like Poliça and their use of reverb, delay, auto-tune and all that jazz. The band first debuted its music online in August last year and are made up of members from other bands and people with their musical fingers in other musical pies. You can grab their CD/LP ‘Give You The Ghost’ next month. Check out their website, Facebook and Twitter. Let’s hope they visit the UK soon.
Happy New Year to everyone celebrating this week! It is the year of the dragon and if you were born in 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 you are a Dragon. Dragons are Magnanimous, stately, vigorous, strong, self-assured, proud, noble, direct, dignified, eccentric, intellectual, fiery, passionate, decisive, pioneering, artistic, generous, loyal. Can be tactless, arrogant, imperious, tyrannical, demanding, intolerant, dogmatic, violent, impetuous, brash.
Gung hay fat choi! ♥

Even the meanest person with the coldest heart couldn’t say ‘awh’ at these little cats on Cat Need. I can’t work out if they are happy or really sad.

Christmas and New Year are long gone and Summer isn’t coming up anytime soon. Your fake tan in a can is empty and your bikini is right at the back of the wardrobe. I’ve put together twenty-two songs that make me feel like it is May. Like my hair is getting all tangled up by the wind coming through the window of my car going down a country road. Like I’m sat on the beach dodging seagulls and keeping my eye out for dogs wandering around. Like I just asked my Mum to go and grab me a Calippo, or a Twister, or a some Solero Shots. I don’t care, I’m not fussy.

Get your sunglasses on your head, throw on a sarong, grab a Sol with a lemon and lie on your towel next to the bath. It kind of looks like a pool! You can listen to the Winter Pick Up playlist on Spotify here.

This one is for the girls.
SHOUT OUT TO MY LADIES THAT BUY PACKS OF 150 HAIR GRIPS AND A WEEK LATER THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SUCKED INTO HAIR GRIP HELL, OR HEAVEN DEPENDING ON THEIR BEHAVIOUR.
I came across this website via StumbleUpon and think this is the best idea I have ever seen. Why didn’t we think of it first!?
Grab yourself a magnetic strip of, er, magnetism* and stick it to a surface. Boom shake shake the room! There you have it, your very own pesky hair grip holder. Thanks Brittany of the Superwoman website for the brilliant idea.
*What!? I’m not a DIY or magnet expert.

I think I have found my new favourite hardcore kid. In ‘My First Hardcore Song’ an 8 year old girl called Juliet sings and screams about her pet dog, her fish and then politely asks you to ‘open this pit up’ as she jumps on a trampoline with her stuffed toys. Thanks to the Download Festival Facebook page for the heads up!

You have probably most definitely seen an advert for Zoeey Deschanel’s not so new, new show ‘New Girl.’ I have just finished watching the first series and I am a little bit in love with it. All the characters are likable, which I never seem to find in American television shows. In ‘The Big Bang Theory’ I dislike Leonard and Penny, in ‘Scrubs’ I can’t stand JD and I think Ted and Robyn need to removed from ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ If you like all those people, then you will still love New Girl because it’s great. I have heard that there are new episodes being showed in the US this year. I want them! I want them in my eyes! You UK folk can watch it on Channel 4 on Friday at 8:30pm, or catch up on 4OD.

Who doesn’t like editing photos of themselves on their iPhone? I like it, I do. Some of my favourite apps in the ‘photography’ section of the App Store are;
• Picibooth
• Pic Stitch
• Pixlromaric
• KittyCamera
• Mr Chizu
Just simply search for those in the App Store and edit away!

Charlotte: I just don’t know what I’m supposed to be.
Bob: You’ll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.

Wu & Wu was created by Andy Tainton and illustrator Fiona Hewitt. They stock some really original and beautifully illustrated goods that come in equally fetching packaging.
Knowing that the couple have spent time carefully looking through markets and getting inspired in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong makes the items much more interesting. Fiona says “Our products are a labour of love. Sought-out from lesser-known parts of Asia, we strive to personalize and re-create the sweet sentiment and attention to detail found in vintage Asian packaging design.”
From pillows, baking sets, sewing kits and tines, you will find something Wu & Wu that you love in their store on the website.
On a rainy and cold Manchester evening, nothing will make you smile more than heart shaped pancakes teamed with warm maple syrup and blueberries. It’s super easy! Well, it’s not easy for me. I have an experienced pancake man to make them for me ;) Grab a silicone heart shaped egg ring and make your own!
