Kirstwee

Hello again, I am so sorry for not being consistent it is the last thing I want. Me and Dylan started the podcast and things were going so well, until my mental health got in the way. I have been feeling ill in general for quite a while now and I though it was all down to my anxiety however, my doctor is concerned and has asked for further tests to be done. It is just a precaution, they think they know what it is so it is a wait and see game at the moment but consistent uploading might be off for a whole. We are currently working on the last few episodes of the podcast now - I am typing this as Dylan is editing a segment. So that will be up as soon as possible! I am so sorry yet again, I hope you can forgive me and I will explain more when I know more! xo

So - after a brief discussion we have decided to take it to twitter to decide who is funnier, Me or Dylan? Please hope over to twitter and give me your vote :D just to prove him wrong! Thanks :) xo

Hello Again Yet another episode is here! We reveal what the noise was as well as introducing another segment - 'What's that track?' Make sure you tweet us  @DweeKast using the #Whatsthattrack   We also bring another part to #crashtag which we look at currently trending items on twitter and give our two cents! This time it is music related! In Kirsty's Me time I talk about My glossy box for august and we talk a little about the products inside. Then Dylan's Special time he talks about a controversial article he found and we have a little bit of a debate! Finally, we have another part of the general knowledge quiz - it is Dylan's turn this time so see how well he does! Enjoy! xo

Hello, another quick one just to let you know the new episode is up on DweeKast! This one is a little bit different - just trying new things! So we start by doing our 'what's that noise?' any guesses don't forget to leave a comment below, tweet us  @DweeKast   or head to our Facebook page . Last chance to get your guesses in before all is reveal all next episode! I also try to read a article while using a speech jammer - with hilarious consequences! We also have a brand new segment we tried out, so let us know what you think below! Finally, I take part in another round of the general knowledge quiz! Listen to see how well I did! Also check out the score board as well as the questions here! Enjoy!

So it has been a while since I have posted anything about my tsum tsum collection, I wanted to just give you a brief update! The photo above was taken a few days ago but as you can see i have started to collect the squishies Tsum Tsums. They are in a four pack in Tesco for £2.50 and one is hidden. There is potential to get a glittery and a golden tsum tsums.

Here is another episode of Dweekast, this one is a very chatty and a little bit longer than our usual episodes but we have a very special guest! Union Jack Gamer ( Click here for his YouTube ) joins us to talk about himself, Funko Pop Vinyls and his collection! I want to say thank you so much, it was something different to what we have done before and I really enjoyed it! Enjoy! xo

So in the UK I believe this has only just come out but I have had it for a few weeks now. This is L'Oreal's new mascara. I love it!  I did talk about it in one of our Dweekast podcasts but here is a brief post if you haven't listened to that yet!

Here is a new episode from me and Dylan, this one is particularly chatty and definitely a get to know us episode! Don't forget to listen to the previous episodes if you haven't already and take part in the what's that sound?# We have the usually quickfire questions as well as the general knowledge quiz. In Dylan's special time he tries out a speech jammer - which I found particularly hilarious. Also in my little section we discuss food! Always a good topic!! Enjoy! xo

Here it is - episode two. Personally I think this is way better than the first so if you enjoyed that you will love this! We have added a new segment - 'what's that sounds?' have a go it is a bit of fun and tweet us  @Dweekast with your guesses :) Please share or tweet us to help us spread the word and to give us some feedback. It would be appreciated so much!! Enjoy xo

Long awaited - but it is finally here! The first Dweekast post - all about me and Dylan. There are quickfire questions, chatty segments and lots of laughs! I know this is long over due but I am so happy that we have finally done it! it is up on podomatic ( click here ). I have linked it just there so you can go straight to our page and give it a listen or while you are already here just sit back and press play! Don't forget that if you liked it you can subscribe via itunes, follow via podomatic and click the WANT MORE button! Any feedback would be great - so leave any comments below and I hope you enjoy!!

So a little while now I recieved another item as I am part of La Belle Famille - I did a video about this on my youtube channel a while ago. Basically I received a big box of stuff from L'Oreal a while ago (blog post is still up about it HERE) I thought it was a one off but a few months go they asked me to be apart of La Belle Famille. I get to try out certain products for free and in return I have to leave feedback on their website. This isn't PR just as a consumer.

Yet again I have gone quiet and it is really not intentional. Things have got to much for me recently, I have taken quite a bit of time for myself, from work and everything. I don't want to dwell on it as I think I have made positive progress. Lets just say I was offered anti depressants again and I refused. Life has it's hard times and I don't want to be reliant on anything to get me through it, I am a strong person and I can overcome it. I just need to find my own way of coping so I don't melt away. I have a few close people around me to help me, by either letting me rant to them, giving me advise or just supporting me whenever! It hasn't all been doom and gloom, these hard times have brought be and my boyfriend closer together. Of course, there has been bickering and stresses but at the end of the day we stronger because of it. Over the past year, I don't know what I would do without him, he has been a great help and support through everything. Because ...

This is another product I have been asked to test out by L'Oreal. This is their new moisturiser which has aloe water and hyaluronic acid in it. It is meant to lock in moisture for 72hrs to make your skin look fresher and give it a natural glow. This is a very light weight moisturiser which has a light aloe scent - it applies smoothly once it has sunk into the skin there is a slight filmy texture which goes away eventually, it makes my skin really soft and smooth. I use this before I apply my makeup on a morning to leave my skin hydrated and plump. On a night I use slightly more just to make sure it can soak in overnight. I wake up with silky smooth skin ready for the day. The formulation I have is for normal to combination skin - I hope they bring out other variants but watch this space. I have had a quick scour of the internet and can't see a price showing anywhere!

A tale as old as time has had a revamp - this live action version of the classic disney animation has hit hard at the box office. To most girls this film will be close to there hearts, Belle was the first Disney Princess that had a bit more substance - she was clever, a bookworm and didn't swoon as soon as she saw Gaston. Now I am not saying the Princesses that came before weren't clever but them attribute were never dwelled on for too long. If you have never seen beauty and the beast here is a brief synopsis -  A young prince, imprisoned in the form of a beast, can be freed only by true love. What may be his only opportunity arrives when he meets Belle, the only human girl to ever visit the castle since it was enchanted. (From IMDB) In the live action version you get to see more of the back story, there are extra songs and a lot more magic. I was in awe. All the enchanted furniture was beautifully edited and just as sassy as the original. I cried numerous times and l...

With Dylan being obsessed with POP! Vinyls I have had to find a new obsession of my own- and that is Tsum Tsums. They are cute little stackable versions of your favourite disney or star wars characters. Top row (L-R) Maximus, Pascale and Minnie Mouse Bottom row (L-R) Flynn Rider, Rapunzel and The Ugly Duckling So I have started with four Tangled characters, mainly because I seen Pascale - I love him, he has to be one of my favourite characters; possibly ever! Then it just kind of spiraled from there. The ugly duckling is an anomaly - he looked so lonely and has a little tear drop coming from his eye I couldn't resist! Let me know if you have any obsessions? Do you also have Tsum Tsums? Let me know who? xo

So pretty much everyone has heard of AVON but some people think it is just makeup - they have now become so much more. I have been a rep before however I have started it up again, it is for a few reasons, I like the products, it gives me something to work hard on and also it is nice to have extra money! As part of getting all setup I have opened an online store - I will pop the link HERE . Have a browse if you like something why not place a order. So even though I am up in not so sunny Sunderland - we can still get your order to you! There are always deals on delivery or even free delivery! YOu might as well have a browse! If you have any questions leave them in the comments below!

So last month - I have very nearly caught up! How exciting?! In February we received a special box. It is soooooooooo pretty! First thing we received - was the Jeanne Abthes L'eau de rose - this is a full size perfume. It is very elegant but quite strong so you have to be a big fan of rose it enjoy this. In the box is a full size bottle which retails for £20. Being honest it isn't my cup of tea but still a good product to get - if you dig it! How old do I sound though?!  Next is a face scrub for La Theore des Volcans - this is their noir eternae youth potion face scrub. The scrub is enriched with volcanic paste which help to cleanse and purify. It is also blended with anti-ageing ingredients to help plump and smooth skin. This is full size and with a hefty £26 price tag I think it si a bit steep but they feeling of my skin after was amazing. It left it unbelievably soft to the touch. We also received a hair mask from Garnier, it is part of their Honey trea...

All of today's feels.. How true though! I don't want to leave and you can't make me! Happy Sundaze!

There has been a short space of radio silence - due to a few reasons which will all be explained in this post. So the last proper update I spoke about the furniture we were having delivered. That came and it has been assembled but also put into ts rightful place. After that weekend I started getting a terrible pain in my shoulder which pretty much rendered me useless for the next few days. I scheduled a few posts but pulled them down as I couldn't finish them.  Work has been a bit crazy, but is starting to calm down again which is good! I have been battling a terrible cold - I am still loaded but it is subsiding. It has been one ting after another but I am here and working on getting some great posts lined up. I have february's glossy unboxing to upload shortly and I want to write a little piece about some other products I have received. I was thinking about starting to produce some videos again but have no idea where to start or what you would like to see - any comments...

Me time isn't selfish it is good for you and your mental health - Take a break as and when you need it! Happy Sundaze! xo

This is so true - today take some 'me' time and relax! Happy Sundaze xo

This this week I have done a few things.. At work I have been off the phones a lot to help with floor walking, all that means is I answer questions and help if anyone needs anything. At home I have done a lot of ironing, washing, organising, sorting, cleaning, baking, cooking and just usual house-y stuff. One thing I made this week are some chocolate cookies They don't look like much but that was a photo when half were gone! They went down a treat!

So we are now on to January and this one was in partnership with Deliciously Stella - all the products in the box are food related. The first product is a Nip+Fab Kale fix moisturiser. Kale is a superfood of course but it is also great in a moisturiser to help soothe and smooth skin.

Unlucky for some but number 13 is going to be a positive post. As you can see from the title there has been progress - so the cupboard is finally clear so we can put our rails in and the chest of drawers fit as well! BONUS! Is it sad that I am really excited to get into my side of the bed without nearly being swallowed by the clothes rails?! Didn't think so! So aside from that we have been organising and trying to plan where this IKEA furniture is going to go. We now have a good idea and hopefully we will have enough storage for all our bits and bobs. Of course we have thought of more things which we need, which are not as important and can get later. Just goes to show there is always something you need! Apart from the furniture we also need to decorate... now I know it isn't the best idea to build the furniture then decorate but that is how things work out sometimes. We have come up with a good compromise and I am really excited to get it all sorted. I haven't live...

So as it was Christmas we received this beautiful golden box with the phrase 'Mistletoe Kisses' etched on the side. It is so pretty... ANYWAY - In December we got a a few goodies...

First thing I HAVE to mention is ED's album is out and I have it... ON VINYL! I am so happy! Thanks to the boyf for being a legend and getting it for me - what a star!! I have had a good day overall but had a few points where I have felt particularly low or stressed for some reason. Nothing that I can pin point as a reason - so maybe it is just one of those days.

As I haven't been on here is a while I have a few boxes to go through so I am gunna do a post on each one to catch up! First one I am going to start with is November.

As Sunday is a lazy day - here is a short post for you. It is really that simple! You can tackle anything this week brings! xo

If you don't follow me on social media (instagram, twitter.. etc..) then you won't have seen this but yesterday I made a cake. Not just any cake - but a one that looks like a coca cola bottle! It was easier than I thought but takes a bit of patience. I just googled it, watched a youtube video and went for it. Here is the finished result : Excuse the mess on the table - cleaning fairy was busy making cake, ha! ...

So in this post I am going to be talking about what I actually put on my face to make me look beautiful.

Well the day has come where I have betrayed all that I have ever stood for.. and I have passed on to the dark side... I have left the side of the jedi and joined the republic by getting an Iphone..

So I thought I would do a proper blog post talking about some beauty products I have been using a lot recently.  First I am going to talk about preparing my skin.

So another lazy Sunday and all we have done is sat, listened to vinyl, cuddled, blogged and went for a carvery! BLISS! Loving the jazzy colours of these two in particular!!

Another chatty post from me today. Progress is slow but has been made, we have bought some furniture from IKEA and have started the process of organising our new room. We have bedside tables, rails for clothes, a chest of drawers and a desk. next we need storage for actual stuff - like books, dvds, games etc. I think we are going to try and get it all sorted this month try and not hang about too long with the place looking like a bombsite - but we will see. With everything a bit more organised I feel like I can breathe a bit easier, I have done the whole living out of bags and boxes too many times before and it drives me crackers! One thing I am really happy I have set up, even if it not in it's permanent home is my turntable. It is something I got from my parents for my birthday last year and I adore it. Excuse the mess underneath the table. we still have a few bags. 

Nothing better on a Sunday than a roast dinner and a pamper. I have also done a lot of cleaning! It has been well deserved, there has been yet more drama. I am not going to get into as it isn't my story to tell but it directly affects me in ways so it leads to added stress. I haven't had a panic attack for a week or so now, I have had moments when I have felt close to one but nothing major to report on that front. It is that time of the month when self loathing kicks in, as well as bloating, pain and my bitchy side comes out. I am generally a mild mannered person who just keeps myself to myself - however these times I just can't help myself. As always it is the people closest to you - sorry Dylan... Between bitchy comments, crying and pretending everything is fine I am cursing being a woman. Why do I need a reminder that I am not pregnant? I mean I don't need to be in so much pain I can barely move just to know that I am not expecting?! I could just take a test....

I am currently surround by my stuff, pretty much all my worldly possessions, and do you know what; it isn't much. From having a house full of stuff, to taking whatever I can and squeezing into one room, to looking at it in the living room now. The mess is mainly clothes; of which most I don't wear. I have already set aside two IKEA bags worth to get rid of. For just being one room worth it is a lot; there is some kitchen stuff, a hoover, a television, a computer... and clothes. Oh and of course my bed! All I have left. I would have happily got rid of it; started again. It is just stuff, I have lived without it for four months. It isn't important to have and looking at it now I just feel sick. All this stuff I have had for a long time and none of it really means anything to me. It is just greed.  The only thing that is truly important to me is my box of shit - now that is a term of endearment for it, but it is basically a box of memories, from birthday stuff to my fi...

So yet again I have neglected you, I am really sorry and I hope you can forgive me. Normally I brush over all of this and just get stuck in to making new posts and content. However I think it is really important that I explain a few things. So back in May me and my partner at the time split up. It was their decision and as you can imagine I was devastated. To begin with I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel but quite quickly I got over it. Quicker than usual anyway. However, shortly after I started getting these spells of not being able to breathe and a tightness around my chest. It would happen spur of the moment, and for no reason I could pin point at the time. They would only last about 20 minutes or so then I would be fine. I knew what it was, it was a panic attack. I got my first ever one back in March 2016. We were in the process of moving into a new house and I really wasn't coping very well. Everyone has their opinion of how we should have done things ...
