cold weather

is horrible.
I have a horrible headache, feel like I'm going to vomit, and my nose keeps bleeding. Ugh...

You said "it's just like a full moon"

I haven't painted my nails in so long. It was such a long-awaited treat after exams that I'd completely lost interest, *gasp*!

Not my favourite ever, not going to lie!

Interview at Kings today! Eeh!

* Balms are my favourites!

I desperately need to order a new EOS balm at some point in the near future, as I love it so much but it's almost flat! I also currently own Burt's Bees Mango and Softlips French Vanilla but didn't have them to hand when I was photographing!

What are your favourite balms?

Even if you won't say so, it's change.

My brother says I exploit my cat? I say I she's very photogenic and too cute not to post photos of. 

This really is turning into a cat blog, whoops. 

I'm not entirely sure what to post on this blog anymore, aside from photos of my cats, so any suggestions would be much appreciated. Exams have drained my brain, and it's not fun!

On a better note, I have my interview for German and Flim Studies at Kings College London on 1st February; fingers crossed I don't screw it up!

My cat drinks soup.

My cat drinks Heinz Tomato Soup; I have evidence after ten years!

Making my way through the crowd.

Social Anxiety is a bitch. 

If I walk into a large crowd of people, I feel as though everyone's eyes are boring into me and I have to turn away or else I feel like I'm going to suffocate. It's horrible, as I know that no-one is staring at me or judging me, I know that it's all in my head, but I can't help it.

Even walking around school at times, a place where I've been nearly everyday for the past 6 years of my life, I feel my eyes glaze over as a defence mechanism. Pretty sure that it makes me look either creepy or mildly stoned, uh oh.

Aside from my eyes glazing awkwardly, I find that on days where I'm more anxious than not, that I seem to wear brighter clothes, which is bizarre. I have a collection of colourful tights, and in the mornings if I feel like I want to hide, I resort to wearing a pair in an attempt to boost my confidence. That and wearing make-up most days now. 

Does anyone else suffer from a similar sort of anxious response to social 'gatherings' in day-to-day life?

Es ist ganz leicht

Ever since I was little I've collected cat figurines, made from china, glass and porcelain, and I thought I'd share some of my collection with the blog today!

Okay, this one isn't part of the collection:

Look at that tongue!


Just another quick little filler post as I'm in Birmingham today looking around the university, yay!
