Just An Update =)
First I would like to say a MASSIVE thank you, to all the readers for my last post, a majority of which were from America so thank you soo much! Secondly, it's not snowing *wipes away tears*, I am just ...*sniffles* I mean I even looked through Pinterest for ideas this Christmas. But yay! My Christmas Tree is FINALLY UP, but the rest of the decorations are still not finished. Anyway here's  a little sneak peek.Sorry for the crap quality.



However, I am extremely REALLY sorry as I won't upload in the next 2-3 weeks as the Christmas season is here and it is really hard to do so. I've been very busy lately and I hope you understand.

Thanks again. Bye bye xx

Special One.

I thought to spice stuff up this festive period, I would do some special posts just for another treat, instead of my normal blogs.
A short story. The thought is original and it took me ages to- no stop! I can't bear it anymore. The guilt is withering me.  Okay! I used http://shortstoryideas.herb.me.uk/scenarios.htm for an idea. But oh well I used my brain and genius cells to write it right? RIGHT? No please tell me!
The idea I got was: A bus stop is the location, love is the theme. A radio is an object that plays a part in the story.
Here we go!

I yanked out my earphones. I was listening to Heart fm on my phone's radio until Call Me Maybe came on. At first I thought I could handle it but apparently I couldn't. I rubbed my ears that I suspected had broken, and  winced as I accidently grazed the fresh cut near my ear lobe. See? That's what I get, thinking doing art homework on my bed was smart. turned out I fell asleep and then woke up with scissors under my head. I quickly glanced at my watch, and groaned as I realised that I was 2 minutes late.

I sprinted to the bus stop as fast as I could, just in time to see that my bus had already left. I hastily span around in order to read the timings posted on the wall inside the shelter, just to slam into a blur of white and red. I was caught off guard and had almost toppled over, if it weren't for the tight grip on my elbow. I steadied myself and brushed my jeans, in order to hide the  blush burning across my cheeks. Cautiously, I looked up to meet the most enchanting green eyes I had ever seen. Surely they must've been contacts- no one's eyes were so gorgeous. I was so captivated, that I hadn't realised I had been staring until a cough interrupted my track of thoughts.  Simultaneously, my eyes snapped to the beautiful face in front of me. A strong jaw line, dusted with light stubble. A slender nose that was slightly crooked to the left but still had a delicateness to it, and oh those glorious plump lips. His hair was chocolately brown and lusciously thick, peeping out from under his back-wards  snap-back ,occasionally falling into his eyes.  He had a manly, but still boyish charm to him and I instantly felt a pull of attraction towards him.

"Are you okay?" his velvety voice interceded my thoughts as I was caught yet again drooling over him. It seemed my mind had stopped functioning and I had to take a minute to shake it off until I could finally talk.
"Er, yeah Fine." I inwardly cringed, as my voice came out as a croak, and cleared my throat twice to get rid of it. How attractive! He's probably going to run away now!

It was now I realised he hadn't let go of my arm, and it seemed he too realised that as he suddenly took his hand away, leaving a trail of fire in its path. Those green eyes were so familiar to me yet  I just couldn't put my finger on it. He probably could see the puzzled look in my brown eyes as a grin started spreading across his face. That was when it hit me.

"Charlie?!" I exclaimed, a goofy smile across my face. The last time I saw him was when we were both 14 and next door neighbours. He was also the guy I had a crush on for years.
"Jeez, Chanelle, I don't look that different, do I?" he asked, scratching behind his ear in a familiar gesture that now showed off his toned triceps.
I crossed the few feet distance within several steps in order to get a closer look, at him- I mean am I daydreaming?
"No! Well yes! But- you're so hot- and well your face....I guess -" I replied aspirated. Still surprised about the reunion.
"Wait- did you just call me hot?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and chuckled. I gasped, feeling my neck and face burn with embarrassment. I smacked his arm playfully , and tried to hide my nervousness but regretted it as I felt his hard muscles under my touch. My fingers lingered there for a few purposeful moments, as I looked up into his eyes. I don't know f it was just me or if his eyes had really darkened. His laughter had stopped, now a passionate look crossed his elegant features.

"You had no idea did you?" his voice had dropped low, and I had to bite my lip to prevent the ear-to-ear smile that threatened to surface. I swallowed hard.
"You knew- didn't you?" I asked sheepishly. The dazzling smile he then gave me was so breathtaking- I was literally breathless for a few seconds. He stepped forward so we were now nose to nose.
"Yeah." he whispered, and I could feel his hot breath on my cheek. I could feel my heart slamming into  my ribs at this point, it didn't help either when he tilted his head slightly to the right. My eyes started hurting from going cross eyed so I closed them and lent in. Charlie's hand held my hip and -

"I'm on the floor, floor. I love to dance. So give me....."  I jumped backwards  and whacked my head on the back of the bus shelter. Seemed my radio had to turn on now! My bad luck! I was still caressing my head with a scowl on my face when Charlie started heaving with laughter. He doubled over in attempts to stop, and soon had me joining in with him. After we caught our breath, we both held hands, my mind was still in a daze about what was about to happen just minutes ago.

"Chanelle?" a screech intervened out lovely moment, and I turned around to holler at them. Then I stood rooted at the spot, eyes like saucers. My throat suddenly felt like sandpaper.
"Mum." my eyes connected with hers, and I could see the anger flaring in them. "Oh crap!" I cursed under my breath. It was going to be a long , long day.

 Patch
So here it is! My first post about the  first character I fell in love with (within seconds). Therefore I can say that PATCH IS MINE! Possessive and obsessive much?  Duh yeah, I know. You could ask my friends whether I am making this up or what, and I'm not alright? Also don't worry  as this post will not contain any spoilers of the story for those who haven't read the Hush Hush saga by Becca Fitzpatrick, it is a series of books aimed for young adults- as it does refer to kissing, sex and mild violence.{in order: Hush Hush, Crescendo, Silence, Finale } I absolutely-dutely recommend you do read as they are amazing. Personally, I think that the first book is the best, although all the rest are pretty awesome. Plus - you can't see it but my background is this pic:
Anyway! Off we go..

Who is Patch?
Patch Cipriano- Real name, Jev  Cipriano, but come on Patch is much more adorable. He is a fallen angel, so the age is unknown but as it says he is a high school senior in the book, I'm guessing it would be 18 physically. A sexy mysterious, dark and handsome guy, with secrets. His body is said to be toned and he is tall. Patch has charcoal eyes, black hair and is tanned. He is described as the dark  low hung Levi's (a jeans brand), boots, and smelling of spice kinda guy.(HOT)

Fallen Angel?
Patch is a fallen angel. An angel who let heaven in search of a mortal who he can kill so he can be human himself. He has had his wings ripped out by the angels after returning without a sacrifice, so he can still fly but not physically feel.

Why Do I Love Him?
First, love is an understatement. I totally adore him and would die if he were to be a real life, living, breathing person. I also like his personality as he is very mysterious, not what he seems on the outside. But anyway, his personality is awesome; funny, loving and protective and much much more. Most importantly, he is much what I would like to see in a guy. me being me wouldn't base anyone on looks- as they can deceive -   but on their personality and what they are like. Guys that I know and that may be reading this.... tips ya know... just do... *wink*

Fanfiction?
Guilty as charged.... I admit to it, okay! I have read Patch/Nora ( Nora is the heroine) fanfiction, and I can say it's quite addictive. There isn't  a lot of fanfiction compared to The Hunger Games fanfiction (yep THG as well) , and some get really icky , hot and too intense for me but they are really addictive and interesting. In a way, it's promoting your English skills(you know reading)and even more if you write some itself, because let's just say some of the writers are budding authors. Sites for reading fanfiction: archiveofourown.org and www.fanfiction.net. I have read some on Wattpad but they just don't appeal to me. If you are a 8 yr old with your Hello Kitty/ Ben 10  school bag- sit your but right down and do some colouring instead of reading some explicit contented stuff kay? Though I can bet it's all them kids who actually write the intense-est (is that even a word? PPah too bad it is now) fiction .To be honest if fanfiction could be withdrawn and made into a pill or injection, I swear to God it would be the most addictive drug ever...

Fave Quotes?
Apparently saying "I love everything that comes out of his mouth" doesn't  cut it ,so here. Btw, referring to "I", the person/narrator is Nora and  these are only some of my faves.

            “You smell good, too,” said Patch
"It’s called a shower.” I was staring straight ahead. When he didn’t answer, I turned sideways. “Soap. Shampoo. Hot water.”

"Naked. I know the drill.” 
           
            “I don't go out with strangers," I said.
"Good thing I do. I'll pick you up at five.” 

            "I'm your guardian angel," he said.
"I get my very own guardian angel? What, exactly, is your job description?"

"Guard your body." His smile tipped higher. "I take my job seriously, which means I'm going to need to get acquainted with the subject matter on a personal level.” 

            “If you can't feel, why did you kiss me?"
Patch traced a finger along my collarbone, then headed south stopping at my heart. I felt it pounding through my skin. "Because I feel it here, in my heart," he said quietly.
           
            “All this time I've hated myself for it. I thought I'd given it up for nothing. But if I hadn't fallen, I wouldn't have met you.” 

That's it I suppose.
Song update

Can I just say that I like Rihanna and stuff ,but in this video, to me it looks like she's undergoing an exorcism. The Exorcism Of RiRi. If you don't know what that means then don't find out like i did; watching "The Exorcism Of Emily Rose". Man.... I had nightmares of those snakes for a week and still can see the images flashing in my mind. So just Google it!


I hope you liked this post and I'll admit it is JUST ONE of the many fandoms I have. I might even think about writing a short story or even a fanfiction about some of them... Gale ...*cough*.. Haw..*cough*...thorne...

Shout out to Anna! I still have patch written on my hand in your rubbish pen! =) Thank you for reading! Next post on Saturday. Bye Bye xx

Review Of... Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash =)
I love the brand simple as I have sensitive skin and I like the idea of using a product that doesn't use fake colouring or perfume but at the same time enchanting it with vitamins. Simple is a renowned brand and I have used several products such as the ' Kind to Skin Exfoliating Body Wash', 'Pure Soap Bar', 'Kind To Skin Moisturising Face Wash', the soap and 'Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Day Cream with Sunscreens'.

I came over this in Boots where I was looking for a new face wash that was supposedly for preventing and clearing spots as I am a growing teenager and still going through puberty. However, you may wipe away that image of a suffering teen with zillions of spots because I have only several spots from time to time. My idea is that if I prepare my skin for such events before it happens with prevent huge outbreaks of pimples. I have sensitive, soft and quite already moisturised skin which can be dry from time to time. Usually I experience several spots popping up a couple times a week, that then fade in 4-5 days.

The face wash has a very light scent and is clear with gentle exfoliating beads. I like the addition of the beads as it gently removes dirt and dead cells from pores. It is not oily at all and washes off easily without any vigorous scrubbing. I use the amount of about two peas(I don't know...) and lather with a little water then apply to the face.

This product  has been in use for the past month- I think that's enough time for things to kick in if they do- and it has had a very noticeable effect. My spots are less persistent  and  just minimized to one or two a week but as I am not that prone to spots, it doesn't actually feel like much but it is.
As well as minimizing spots, it really softens the skin and refreshes it, allowing it to breathe. 

I would really recommend this  product as it has a good effect as well as topping up your skin with vital vitamins- much like all Simple products. Plus, if you are devoted to the little devils, then please please please try this face wash or any more of the Simple Spotless range as it is really worth it and it is very inexpensive( I got the current face wash for £3.99 in Boots) and comment any observations below.

 For more info about Simple products or this face wash in particular click here.

Updates
I made a carrot cake yesterday and I must say that I absolutely adore the cream cheese frosting, I could have a bowl of it but I'm not sure whether it'll be good for my health.
In addition to that, I really like this song.

How To Draw .........An Eye
Eyes are very captivating features and very expressive. They can be the soul and body of many portraits, photographs or paintings, and is one of my favourite things to draw. The eye I am going to draw is quite realistic as well as really easy. It is based mostly on shading and detail for the realistic effect, and as I have said before I have the skill of art naturally and have not taken classes or earned any grades - though I am up for GCSE Art . Also you could try using colours instead of just pencil but that's wholly up to you.

What you will need:
A pencil - any will do, not necessarily a sketching one. Here I am using a normal Hb pencil.
Paper or the surface you would like the sketch to be on.
Optional:
rubber/eraser 
a picture to copy


One. Poise pencil to paper, and draw the shape of the eye. Draw the outline of the pupil, waterline and eyeball. Also draw the lid of the eye.



Two. Draw in the eyelashes on the water line.

Three. Shade the centre of the pupil dark and in a shade  slightly darker, start making strokes with your pencil going outward, all around the dark centre.



Four. Colour in the rest a lighter shade and keep on doing so until they blend.

Five. Fill in the eye-lashes and shade the lid of the eye.

Simples!

Just a photo, sketch and song update.
I took this photo two years ago but I still must say it's one of my best nature photographs till date. It was taken in the butterfly section in Bristol Zoo! Btw it's a butterfly on a piece of pineapple.

This is literally what I do to pass time.

I hope you like this post and I'm thinking of making the eye I drew for this tutorial into a sketch... hmmm..... Thanks for reading!

Living In A Brown Family vs Living In a White Family
A little thing to know about me- I'm brown or more specifically Indian, and I've picked up on a couple things that are different between the ways of my family and a white family and things we as browns have to go through which a British (or any other white) family won't have to.Plus, one of my friends told me that this also applies to African families.So, I am going to write scenarios and what would happen during different occasions or compare the reactions. Also, I do not mean to offend anyone as this post is just for fun, is mostly stereotypical, and if you do get offended I'm Sowry.

School Reports-Brown Family
Okay so you received your school report today (or got a grade for an assessment), and you're on your way home. You have got a B by the way. Happily you walk into your house and your dad is on the sofa sipping his chai. Then you drop all your bags and everything getting ready to show off the B you got.
"Papa, I got a B today in science!" you say. Your dad stops drinking his tea and  places the cup down on the table.
"What you say?" he asks.
"B. I got B." the smile gradually slips off your face.
"Show me the paper. Give it here." he tells you and you pass the booklet to him. "What re! Last time you also got B, where is the A?"
"But-"
"No shut up! Last time you got B, this time you also get B, huh? You know why? All the time laptop or TV. tut tut I simply got you that phone, what it is- ah ya fashebook, everyday! Now go study! See if I don't get A next time... You watch out..."

School Reports- White Family
Okay so you received your school report today (or got a grade for an assessment), and you're on your way home. You have got a B by the way. Happily you walk into your house and your dad is on the sofa sipping his coffee. Then you drop all your bags and everything getting ready to show off the B you got.
"Dad! I got a B in science!" you say. Your dad stops drinking his coffee and  places the cup down on the coaster.
"Oh well done child! I am so proud of you!"he replies. " See now I'm definitely getting you that new phone, I can't tell you how proud I am! Come here- gimme a hug!"

Desi Aunties
This one is so frustrating! White people do not have them and let me tell you, you are SO lucky. As all brown people are somehow related to each other, ,whether it be your aunty, uncle, chacha, chachi, maami, maasi, so the chances of them seeing you are huge. These aunties may not even be related to you directly but may somehow be through your grandma's fifth family's cousins( I don't know don't ask me). Most importantly, they don't need food. Nope. Their daily bread is gossip, gossip half of which is not even true. Each aunty will add a little bit of their own Garam Masala to the news. Imagine this scenario. You are in Tesco's buying, let's say tomatoes- don't laugh, you have no idea of the importance of tomatoes in a brown family- and a boy/girl(obviously of the opposite sex) comes up to you to say hi. You're there having a lovely chat about school or whatever whilst gathering tomatoes, no touching - nothing. No problem. Or so  you think. What you didn't see is the Desi Aunty observing you from behind the Flip-Flops that are on sale. Now when this Aunty, whoever she is, gets home and puts all her rotis (tortilla wraps) in the fridge along with all her other groceries, she will pick up that phone and dial another Desi Aunty to tell her about you and that boy in Tesco. However, as I said, she will add her own spice mix to it, so you just talking to that boy will turn into: "Ha, mehne dekha! Sapna's daughter. Ya it was her only! She was with that ghora ladka, and holding hands and all!". Now the Desi aunty at the receiving end will call another Aunty with her own masala a bit like: "Yeh zamana ko kya hua! That Sapna's daughter yeah! Lucy just told me, she was in Tesco na. She was kissing that boy! Such!". This will go on and on until it comes to the part when you are apparently going to marry that boy. See- this is scary.

 The Awkward Kissing Scene
This one occurred just last week to me when me and my family were sat down enjoying 'Titanic' , I mean what a classic film. I also agree that this does occur in both Brown and White families but Brown families are so much more awkward.

Brown Fam
You are sat down with your parents and the rest of your family enjoying the movie, when suddenly the main actor starts to lean in and kiss the main actress. You start squirming in your seat and adverting your eyes. Whilst doing so, you lock eyes with your Dad - who now has a look of disgust on his face. You awkwardly get up and say you're going to get more popcorn. Your mum stares at you and looks down at your full bowl of popcorn. By this time, the couple on T.V are furiously making out. You are standing there racking your brains for another excuse to get out of the room and just when you're about to state that you are going to the toilet, your dad starts talking...
"You must also be doing this na? Kissing bissing. I know everything. You also want na boyfriend? shee shee shee You know when I was your age, if my parents saw this I would get a slap and hot caylato. Oh yeah, I remembered - when you want to marry then? When you are 22?"
" My days, Dad! I'm just a teenager!" You reply, face palming at the same time.
" Okay, I know everything! You want that Tom Cruiser like boy now? What happened to Rajesh Khanna? Ghora Ladka chahiye?" your dad asks.

White Fam
You are sat down with your parents and the rest of your family enjoying the movie, when suddenly the main actor starts to lean in and kiss the main actress. You start squirming in your seat and adverting your eyes. Your mum is smiling and says, "Aw that's so cute!"  By this time, the couple on T.V are furiously making out.
" Well they're getting into it aren't they" Your dad says. You cover your face and lean back as far as you can into the sofa.

Talking on The Phone To Parents In front Of Your Friends
This is when most of your friends , white and brown, will take the piss.
Bring-Bring! Bring-Bring! Oh crap! You are in town and your phone starts ringing, it's your Mum. *If you're not already shaking with fear- you must be really brave.* Now you try to part yourself from the group of wild monkey like friends, some of who follow you. You answer the call and put your Indian accent on.
"Hallo mummy?" you say.
"Ha beti. You ate food?" mum replies.
"Yeah mummy just now."
"Acha. When you coming home?" she asks. This is the time -as usual- you friends start shouting crude sexual things out or ask you for weed or something. You turn around and glare at them.
"Haaalllo? Hai kya? Beti what they saying? Wait- you got boys there? Just see now what I'll do. You just come home, the slipper will be waiting for you!"
"But mummy-" your mum disconnects the phone. As if the shouting on the phone wasn't enough, your friends start mimicking your conversation in the worst accent ever. You now wish the ground would swallow you up.

I hope you enjoyed that, and I apologize for all the "you"s in this post, but it was quite hard writing in the present tense and adding time-connectives and stuff. And I LOVE YOU MUM AND DAD! This actually took ages to think of as my mind was blank, and my next post will probably be sooner.

Siberian Huskies and My Artwork
Siberian huskies? Yes. This topic was a request from my friend Wendy, who also noted some editing errors in my previous post. Thanks Wendy! The artwork part was also a request from my other friend who wanted to see my random artworks. So here it is!



Siberian huskies are strong , working sled dogs. The colour of the noses depends on the shade of its fur. The oval-shaped eyes come in blues, browns, ambers or any of those combinations.

Huskies were used for decades upon decades by the Chukchi Tribe in Siberia to pull sleds, as a watch dog and to pull sleds. They are adapted for the hard conditions of Siberia, and happy to work for long hours, and are good at racing, carting and sledding.


They are loving, playful and gentle dogs and are usually also happy go lucky dogs that love their families. When they are young, huskies are full of energy and rather casual. For some they may look intimidating but they aren't watchdogs and bark little. these amazing and beautiful dogs live up to 15 years, and their coats shed twice a year.
Their eyes!!!! Magnificent!




My Artwork

I am a really random artist and don't think these pieces are outstanding but who cares - it's fun for me! Oh, and no I'm not an expert blah blah blah and just FYI I did all these by hand and no tracing. Also these pieces aren't ALL my works but just my faves. 
A Beautiful Darkness ( the only one I actually named) 

 I love drawing eyes because they are so captivating and beautiful. Sorry the paper was a bit crinkled!

Mother Mary 


I had a time this year when I had a HUGE crush/obsession with Dan Howell aka Danisnotonfire on Youtube . Here's his Youtube. I was a really big fangirl during that span of time. 

This one was just really random- my brother was painting using his Kids watercolours, so I used them and created this. And Moustaches are EPIC!

Just a little something to talk about. In the area that I live in the U.K, there was a forecasted storm for last night. At all my friends houses , trees were knocked down and people even died for goodness sakes!But where I live, all we got was rain. I mean BBC News said it would be like a mini hurricane and everything, so I got really excited that I would be able to experience something like that , but NOOO it just raised my hopes up for nothing =( I expected more from you British Weather! Wait should I be worried that I was excited about a hurricane? Pfftt I don't care-  I'm disappointed as well as thankful though; that no one got hurt in the area I live in.
Oh and song update:

2 Simple Halloween Ideas
Halloween is the festival of all saints day, when we celebrate the death of saints/people, as well as the harvest, and was originally a pagan feast for their Gods and spirits. The modern celebrations started from the middle ages and are still being carried forward today. So if you're a bit like me and not going trick or treating, you don't have to miss out. Decorating your house can keep you in this spooky seasonal spirit without much effort! So here are two easy things you can create from within the comfort of your home.

One.  We all know that to really get into the feel of Halloween you need to look the part. Is it just me or when you're in your costume , let's assume as a vampire, you get this overwhelming feeling of really being that character and think you're really powerful. While to others you look like like a kid in a costume acting like a complete and utter freak. Anyway.... here's a quick scar tutorial.
©   You will need: 
hand/ face cream - I use Johnson's Face Lotion
A red Lipstick/liner/pen preferably dark - Used a shade called Valentine
a black eyeliner/pen- i used Rimmel eyeliner in Jet Black 
a paintbrush or if you have one a fine makeup brush.
A cotton bud (Qtip)
 *remember if you do use pens, make sure they don't affect your skin.

© Start off by applying a generous amount of cream to the area where you want the scar.This acts as a nice base.
© Using the black liner draw the shape of your scar.Add stiche lines through it.Shade using the liner and blend it using a slightly damp cotton bud.


© Get your red lipstick and dab the brush on it to collect some of the colour. Fill in the middle using the red and apply some on the outline of the scar as well.


© Swap between black liner and red colour to deepen the blood effect- it would be even better if you had fake blood, but i didn't and this worked just as well. Redefine the stiche lines as well.
SORRY! BUT IT WAS A MUST! LOL! BACK TO THE TUTUORIAL! 




© When you're happy with the result, you could try it on your face: a scar from the corner of your lip to the base of your jaw or a scar starting from the bottom lid of your eye to the mid of your nose bridge. 


These scars add a nice effect on costumes of dolls, zombies or even devils.

 Two.Mini Jack-o-Lanterns or how we say in Britain, just pumpkins. This one is really too easy but all precautions about fire hazards and candles apply. It's also really cheap and quick!

 REMEMBER IF YOU DO LIGHT CANDLES, DON'T LEAVE THEM UNATTENDED OR NEAR SMALL CHILDREN AS IT CAN LEAD TO YOUR HOUSE BURNING DOWN OR ACCIDENTS YOU DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN OCCURRING!
©   Collect a few oranges, you can use a selection of oranges, clementines, mandarins, satsumas or tangerines for a full on effect. I used satsumas.



©   Cut them in half using a knife - DO NOT peel them or it will ruin the finished product. 
©   Scoop out the flesh- this can be used for drinks, fruit punches or just a nutritious snack *Did you know Oranges or any similar citrus family member are high in Vitamin C which prevent the body from diseases and helps wounds heal quickly!*


©   Using scissors or a small knife cut out the details: eyes, teeth and noses. on one half of the orange.

©   Place the other half down on a flat place/ place mat/ non-easy-flammable surface. 



©   Pop a lit tea light inside the middle and put the other half -in which you cut out the details- on top. Simples! It's really pretty as well.
I made several but the one above came out not so good so here's one I found. 

The tops of the oranges tend to burn so do remember to make a little hole right at the top, and do not leave them alone.Well this post was my longest one so far. I won't be uploading until Monday=)
Bye bye xx
