My lovely boyfriend was ordering himself some stuff from Blue Banana and because they have body jewellery on three for two he treated me to this lovely twisted barbell for my belly piercing and a nose ring. I L O V E this barbell! I thought it might get caught on stuff more often than a regular belly bar but it doesn't. I just thought that it would be a nice change and I was right. Well chuffed with this! My nose is feeling a bit tender at the minute because I've just started wearing a stud again after months of being bare nosed so I don't have the ring in but I'll update the post when I've tried that out. Anyhooooo, I just thought I do this quick post to let you all know that this twisted barbell is pretty cool and that Blue Banana have some good bargains at the minute. So there.

A few weeks back My mum, sister, brother and I did a Swimathon at our local swimming baths. Between us we swam 1.5miles in around 40 minutes by relaying. We swam 2 laps a time in pairs hence the speedy time. It was a great experience that gave my 9 year old sister a chance to show off he skills and encouraged my 6 year old brother to swim as he usually just faffs about. It seemed to give my little bro a confidence boost too which is nice as he tends to beat himself up a bit about swimming. So not only have we collected for a great charity but we have benefited from it as a family, so if you're looking out for things to do with your family charity events like this are a brilliant way to have fun while helping others.

As I'm sure you know Sport Relief is an excellent charity that funds many project in the UK and internationally. Any donations are accepted with many, many thanks and if you would like to give a little for our sponsor page  click HERE.

The sun seems to have been peering out through the clouds recently and summer is approaching. So I thought it'd be nice to do a review on something a little summery...  WARNING: This post contains appalling amounts of alliteration!

Live at Leeds is the perfect event for those wusses that love live music but are afraid of the dirt that you'd find at a more conventional festival. The event takes place from the 2nd to the 5th of May and tickets are just £25 for the whole weekend and this gets you entry to loads of great venues across Leeds; including the O2 Academy and the Cockpit.
