Welcome to my Blog. I set this up after realising I spend far too much time updating my Facebook status and living in hope that one day a celeb will reply to one of my Tweets. So if you like reality TV, makeup, short story ideas, magazines, chocolate and the occasional gym class, then this is the blog for you. Now get that tea brewing, grab a couple of digestives and let yourself escape into my world...you never know, you might like it here!

Thought of the day...

"The best time for new beginnings is now..."

Thursday 20 March 2014

Girl power continued...

I have taken my female empowerment to the next level today by getting involved with the Cancer Research campaign which is encouraging girls to take no make-up selfies, post onto Facebook and text a £3 donation to raise awareness for breast cancer.

In just under 24 hours, girls all over the country have united and already raised a staggering 1 million pounds...and the donations haven't stopped yet. Posting photos and nominating friends to do the same has swept across social media and is taking cancer awareness to a new level.

The only downside to this phenomenon is the backlash of rude and derogatory comments being made by some of the boys. Criticising our looks and accusing us of being self indulgent, it appears that there are a few people out there who need to open their eyes and look at the positive impact our actions are having...after all we show our support for Movember! Thankfully, for every one of those boys, there is another proving they're not all bad by donating and even posting various selfies of their own! 

I think it's great what us girls are doing, and who cares if we don't have any makeup on. When it comes to cancer, everything else is irrelevant. 

If you want to support the cause text BEAT to 70099. In the meantime, here's my photo!
