Revamp Update

Hi All

Thought I'd write a review on my life revamp

• Weekly Blogging: Grade - C. As it is not far off 3 weeks since my last post, I can't call it a success but an improvement ... Rome wasn't built in a day people.
• Better Budgeting: Grade - F. Complete and utter fail. It was all going so well until my marketing mentor from the summer Carrie (http://www.carrieme.co.uk/) invited me to the Britain's and Ireland's Next Top Model trade show ...
• Better Time Management: Grade - B. I would say this has been a massive success, by student standards anyway. I was not only able to go out the night before an essay deadline (grime veteran D Double E was in Southampton) but I still uploaded said essay a whole 3 hours before the 10pm deadline. This is a first for me.
• Joining A Gym: Grade - A. Success! I joined! And I go! I don't look like Rihanna yet, but as cheesy as it sounds I actually feel better in myself. Don't get me wrong, I still resent paying money to be bored and sweaty but I have to admit I do feel a little better after a workout.
• Making the Most of Third Year: Grade - C. I haven't been out, not nearly enough. While I'm on the subject I want to urge the students of Southampton to have more house parties because this would help with my budgeting resolution. Plus we can go clubbing any time guys, but the fun will all stop when we move back to mum and dad's next summer.

Fashiony Things I'm Loving

Can't believe the the popularity of the 'Frankie' skater dresses, going strong into the winter months

When Frankie Sandford from the Saturdays first stepped out in a skater dress, she looked stunning and everyone followed suit. Problem is Frankie looks stunning in everything but fortunately for us, the skater dress is accessible for us mere mortals. They are flattering on just about everyone: they make waists look tiny and skim over any potential wobbly bits - perfection in a dress.

Events I've Loved

Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model Live: The Ultimate Girls Day Out.

When I was asked to work at CarrieMe's stand on the show, I couldn't say yes quick enough. There were shoes, clothes, bags, perfume, hair extensions and makeup galore. Aptly named The Ultimate Girls Day Out, it was basically everything a girlie girl could ever want all crammed under one roof with chart hits, cocktails and catwalks as extras. While the Top Model catwalk was exclusively for VIPs and press, there was the KISS open catwalk allowing guest to have a go at modelling; strutting their stuff to the sound of live DJs.

Quotes I've Loved

From my housemate on the way to the library: "Sian, we haven't been out in so long. I don't think I know how to dance anymore."

So dramatic!

Pretty much everything Calvin Harris has ever said. I have recently discovered him on twitter - @CalvinHarris. Here are some of my favs from last Saturday night ...

"I hate sandwiches do you know that? If there's one thing I want you to know about me, it's that i hate sandwiches."

"I've blocked a couple of fucking sandwiches on here tonight."

"p.s regarding the shitting 5 times a day; doesn't count if you are SHITTING YOURSELF this is not healthy and u should see a doctor."

"@brandonroque dolphins + tequila !"

"Rolf Harris is not my dad."
