Custom Bras

So, you may remember I posted about the wonderful 'Magpies River' a little while back.
...Well feeling utterly inspired, I decided to give making my own customised bras a go. I started with a classier one. I brought a white bra from Peacocks, and then went to town on it.

 

And below is the finished piece. I love it!

Now I'm working on a cuter sort of bra, Black and pink, with lots of dangles and frills!

Summer Days

Today has been a wonderful sunny day. I've spent pretty much all day outside in the bright sunlight! My shoulders are even a little burnt.
 I donned a maxi, flowing skirt; and settled down for tea outside. I took my pet snake Osiris out for a little bit, to get him some sun rays :) Then I was randomly struck with a glorious idea for a painting. So I took my painting equipment out into our gorgeous little garden, and made a start on the base of it.
 Now that evenings come, I've just done a hard 30 minute belly dance cardio workout. If I have the time,  I want to do this once a day. It was great! Really feel good after it.

I hope you all had wonderful days in the sun aswell!

Tea Tasting Masterclass!

As usual I have neglected this blog...not that it matters, because nobody reads this haha. I really just keep this for myself. I enjoy blogging too much to stop entirely.

So, today I went to my local library and had a Twinings Tea Tasting Masterclass, taught by a Twinings abassador. We braved the turrential downpour...because if theres one thing I'll brave the elements for, it's free tea!
The class was really interesting; starting with a history of tea, the process used to make tea into...well different types of tea, and then we were taught how to properly taste tea. Now I've drunk a lot of tea in my 21 years of life (apparently way above average which is 2.8 cups a day for people in the UK...pfft) but it honest to god, felt like this was the first time I'd really got to taste it. This was expensive brand stuff, but just the method of tasting, even down to your breathing, really did intensify the flavours. I could appreciate the different elements to the tea. We tried Silver Needle white tea, china green tea, oolong and assam. After this we were given actual cups of tea, I had Gingersnap Peach (YUM) and scones with cream and strawberries were handed out to us all.
I wish things like this happened in our local area all the time. It was great to have something to do in the local community. AND we got to take home our very own Twinings Masterclass aprons (which are to protect your clothes from any dribbleing that may occur) which is a great reminder of a wonderful two hours.

 

 

I've also starting filming booktuber vlogs on youtube. Here's a link for any book lovers out there.
