Is technology too much?

As technology continues to take over our world, I'm beginning to think; is it all really worth it? I don't feel technology is built for people like me. I came to this realisation the other week, when I had a slight accident with my iPhone 5s - by accident, I mean phone sliding out of my pocket and into the loo accident. As soon as I heard that sickening 'clunk' and 'splash' into the depths of the toilet, I knew it could only be one thing - my beautiful golden iPhone 5s. I wasn't insured. I tried leaving it in rice. I tried getting it fixed. It was no use. I was so disappointed - not because I'd lost all of my contacts, but because in my eyes, it's the best phone you can get, and I'd only had it 8 months! The only way of getting my precious iPhone back was to pay another £630 for a new one...

But then I thought 'At the end of the day, it's just a phone.' - people managed to survive in the sixties without mobiles, and the sixties looked like a pretty amazing time to live (yes I'm thinking of Hairspray right now), so why can't we?! Now we all seem to think we need all these materialistic things to live a better life, when we don't realise how lucky we really are to just have a roof over our heads!

For now, I guess I'll have to stick with my old HTC Wildfire S (could be a lot worse I suppose)...

Another thing which has been bothering me about technology recently, is the fact my brother is now able to use an iPad in school for school work. Call me old-fashioned, but what is wrong with pen and paper? He is in year 7! I loved having handwriting sessions in primary school and trying to write as neat as possible in all my exercise books. Do you ever 'type' a birthday card (regardless of moonpig)? I know I wouldn't. If this is what our world is like now, what is it going to be like in 50 years time? I dread to think...

Anyway I hope this got you thinking...

Speak soon!

Cute Christmas Cocktail Outfit

Hey everyone! We're half way through December and guess what? It's Christmas soon!! Am I the only one who feels this year has just flown? Anyway, since turning the big 18, I've been out a fair bit getting myself into the Christmas spirit! So I guess I thought I'd share with you one of my 'going out for cocktails' outfits... Faux Fur Boxy Gilet - Topshop  £65 Long Sleeved Turtle Neck - New Look £15 Leather Shorts - Zara  £20  Stone Contrast Faux Fur Bar Top Bag - New Look  £19.99 Necklace - A Mystery... This beautiful fur gilet is perfect for keeping me cosy and toasty in this freezing December weather! I bought it last year in petites as I preferred the more cropped fit. I couldn't resist buying this adorable little fur bag to match the cream fur; it's surprisingly spacious too! Teamed with black leather shorts and a pastel turtle neck, I feel it's a good cute yet edgy combo (ahah!). I thought this pretty pearly necklace...

How to cure that HANGOVER

Hello Everyone! So we've all said 'oh I'm not gonna get that drunk tonight'... then a bottle of wine, 2 trebs and a whole array of bev you can't remember you've drank later, you're on the floor puking your guts out in the smoking area of the club, with your best mate laughing and taking videos of you. Yeah we've all been there, and it only ends up one way; with a throbbing headache the next day, regretting your life decisions, and a corker of a hangover that feels like the END. Do not panic! In this post, I'm gonna share with you my five ways to get you feeling your usual perky self again! Step 1: Have a drink There's nothing better than a cold pint of water when you wake up dehydrated after a night of drinking. When I'm hungover, Lucozade always seems to sort me out (forget the bottles, the cans are wayyy better!). A cup of tea is never a bad shout either hehe. Step 2: Go to the loo for a number 2 Think this goes without saying. ...

Tacky Teddies?

Hey everyone! Is it just me, or has Valentine's Day become some sort of massive hype this year? It's so much more of a bigger thing than it used to be (okay I sound like an old woman right now), but why do we all make such a big deal out of it? I think when you're single, you realise how much lovey dovey shizzle there is everywhere, but it just makes me think; why on earth would you spend so much money on some cheap tacky teddy bear when you could buy a beautiful bag... or dress... or even just a tasty box of chocolates for your girlfriend?! By the way guys, I am not against Valentine's Day whatsoever. I'm all for sending cards and sharing the love... however I will never be a lover of the tacky teddies. Speak soon! Alex x
