Outfit of the Week
So I have been feeling like crap all week and not in the mood to dress up, but today I decided I had to pull myself together and take Cameron out for a walk. It has been a nice sunny day in Bournemouth today but quite breezy and cold as well so this is what I wore (excuse the face, I felt like rubbish!)...
A Lovely Thank You
A while ago i wrote a review of a gorgeous Original Source shower gel and a few days ago I had an email from the PR guy at Original Source who was pleased I had liked the product so much and wanted to thank me by sending me some products.
I receieved these in the post today and am really pleased as I love the two shower gels and could really do with a nice relaxing bubble bath having been so unwell the past few days! So thank you Original Source!

Feeling Very Poorly
Since I blogged the other day about feeling under the weather, I have started feeling a lot worse!
I have the flu.... which is not fun usually, but when I have Cameron to look after alone all day, it is even less fun! I am so weak that I could not even move for most of yesterday. I am so grateful that my mum allowed me to come and stay over at hers last night and she helped with Cameron so that I could rest.
I am feeling a tiny bit better today, but still really weak, and now my chest is quite tight. I am spending most of the day on the settee sans makeup and feeling very sorry for myself. Cameron has CBeebies on but I will be forcing myself out of the house this afternoon, as I did yesterday as well, so that we both get some fresh air.
Cameron is being so adorable. Yesterday I was so weak and felt so pathetic that I started crying and he came and climbed up on top of me and gave me a huge cuddle. Was so cute!
I have cancelled my exercise class tonight and am focussing on being right better by the weekend so we can do lots of fun stuff to make up for being housebound.

30 Day Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 03 — Your hairstyle
I have had a blonde bob for what seems like ages and although I love having my hair like this, I am attempting to start growing it back again now as I love my hair longer as well. This is how it is currently:

30 Day Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 02 — Your favorite bag that you own
I actually love my current handbag as it suits my autumn/winter wardrobe perfectly. Plus it was reduced in the sale at Dorothy Perkins, and I got student discount on it too, total bonus!
What do you think? Do you have a favourite bag?

Topic Tuesday: What's Your Number?
There is a film out at the cinema at the moment called What's Your Number? It is about a girl who has slept with quite a few people and is worried, after reading a magazine article, that she could have met 'The One' and split up with him. So she goes back through her exes....
What I found interesting is the controversial topic of how high a person's number is and why people think it is ok to judge people based on the number of sexual partners they have had. Around 18 months ago I was involved in a debate on a magazine page which got out of hand, when a girl started calling those of us who had slept with a certain number of people names. Since then, I have made friends with the girl and have no hard feelings, but the subject is clearly a controversial one.
A lot of people seem to think it is ok to judge those of us who have had more than a handful of sexual partners in their time. Women are a lot worse of than men in this case, as men are often congratulated for having a high sexual number and given nicknames such as player and stud, whilst girls are given names such as slut, slapper and whore. I also believe that often men increase their number to sound cool, whilst girls often end up cutting their number to seem less like a 'slut', as this is what a lot of people think.
I am not about to go and tell you all my magic number. I do have some secrets left, and besides, my mum and my nan read this Blog! However, it is safe to say that I am in double figures. Don't be so quick to judge though, as you don't know the ins and outs of each and every relationship I have ever had. In fact, despite this number being considered relatively high for a girl in her early twenties, I have never once had a one night stand, I have always been safe, and reguarly get tested just in case, and I have been in a couple of long term relationships since I was 15. I have also been with barely anyone in the last two years, despite being single for 18 months.
People are so quick to judge and call people names but at the end of the day, life is for living, what does a number mean really? To me it means that I had fun in my teens, acted a bit wild and enjoyed myself. I am not ashamed for having slept with the amount of people I have slept with and I don't judge others who have slept with more people, or those who have only slept with one person, or are yet to sleep with anyone. It is a matter of personal opinion and one that should not be judged.
What is your opinion on having a high magic number? Would you be put off if someone you were dating had a higher number than you? Get involved and let me know your opinions below. (Personal attacks will not be tolerated, however, and comments of this nature will be deleted).

30 Day Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 01 — You with makeup on
Well this shouldn't be hard as I never really go out without makeup on. I was even wearing makeup during labour, and had my best friend and birth partner add a tiny bit more for my after birth photos.....
This photo is one of my most recent from a photoshoot with Carl Lewis (from Carl Lewis Photography). I always do my own makeup for shoots and here I am just wearing my normal everyday makeup.
