Allergies, Christmas and the whole shibang

So at the moment I'm under an excessive amount of stress because many many factors and if you're reading this and you know me then you already know what I'm on about and I don't really need to go into it.

But as the main cause of my stress gets closer and closer I've realised that my body is displaying this stress in a really bizarre way. I am now allergic to my clothes... well not my clothes per se but whenever I put clean clothes on my skin gets really irritated. I'm currently doped up on antihistamines and have about 4 layers of cocoa butter lotion and E45 cream to sooth the irritation. I smell like a freshly bathed baby and I look like I've got sunburn from this lovely cold and rainy weather we were having which is you know, ridiculous.

On a more cheery note - CHRISTMAS. I'm starting to get into the holiday spirit. I've been looking for gifts and I've pretty much got everyone's sorted including a little gift to myself (in the form of a beautiful Benefit make up kit ;) ).

PLUS :-

We're planning our university Christmas meal and I can't wait to do the shop its such good fun and ahhh the day shall be a drunk filled with gifts, cheesy music and ridiculous board games.

And then its home for the real deal and then New Year with the best people in the world!

Ciao!

When Is It OK to Lie?

This is a thought that crossed my mind while watching my new favourite show 'Lie to Me' (which by the way, if you haven't already, go watch) and I think its a pretty good opener for this. There are lots of situations where the simple black and white answer of 'never' isn't good enough.

It's fine when you're five and your parents are trying to teach you that relationships are built on honesty and that honesty is built from trust etc etc all that moral of the story stuff.

But once you're old enough to be in one of these relationships that they go on about so much be it of a friendly, romantic, professional or otherwise type there are always situations, reasons, people and time that make that 'never' answer fade into the grey, that really make you question this principle in a way you were brought up never to believe could happen.

1. What would you do if you know something about your bests friend's partner that would make them see their partner in a different light? - Do you tell them or do you leave them to find out on their own? - Will they be ok that you didn't tell them if they find out you knew?

2. What would you do if someone asks if an outfit suits them and it really doesn't? Do you change your answer if you can tell they really like it and will be hurt if you say it doesn't? Does it matter who the person that asked you is? - partner, parent, friend etc.

3. What about in more grave situations? Is there still a grey line in matters of crime and protection? What if reporting a crime protects someone else but puts you in danger?

Welcome!

This is my new blog! I've had many in the past but this one I shall be sticking with.

Most of the time it'll just be about my day but then again:

Sometimes I shall be asking you for advice for myself and at others my theme may be more with imparting advice over to you, sometimes it will be a discussion of a serious issue and at others it will be funny or bizarre but at all times it shall engaging and thought provoking (hopefully!)

So sit back, relax and join me!

Don't forget to follow me on twitter for an even more in depth look at my life!
