Oh yeah, I make videos!

Here is a video about my first pair of circle lenses and also a little bit about how to wear them and how to look after them!

Thrifting

Made these shorts today out of denim skirt I got from a charity shop.

The denim is the perfect colour and I searched for ages for the right amount of wear. The studs I used came from the belt I'm wearing which I also got at a charity shop.

The leatherette that I used to make these patches was £2.50 from a fabric shop! I got so much and all together these shorts cost me £8.48 :D Cheaper than ones that I found online for £48!!

I haven't posted for a while!

But now I have sort of an idea about what this blog actually means. For me anyway. It's a place where I can plant my ideas and inspirations.
I saw this video and it made me think about where my life on this course and in my future will head and what I can do to get where I want.

This made me think about where I want to take my brand and how I want to start my business

It is DONE!

I have finished all the work that needs to be done and I am thoroughly impressed with myself at how I have managed to pull this all off!
I am so pleased with how everything has turned out and I am so excited to give my presentation on Wednesday!

Getting there

Again I'm sorry for the radio silence but I tend to get so wrapped up in essay writing that I can't focus on uch else. I'm finding  this last leg the hardest but I'm gradually working through it.
Sam's final tutorial was amazing and really helped we sort out all of my referencing muck ups.
All I need to do now, as I have been for the last few days, is work through the notes again and again to make sure everything is perfect and also finish my presentation.

It's been a difficult few weeks and this essay has been probably the hardest I've had to do. Writing and research is definitely not my strong suit but I have confidence that I will be able to pass. I just have to focus now, replenish my cup of tea and soldier on!!

So much excitment!

So we had a one to one  tutorial last week and it really did help build my confidence on the subject I'm doing. Sam said that I had research enough on the subject for me to be able to start writing.... so I have! It's not easy to start an essay like this but I have managed to write my opening statement but I still haven't gotten enough information or organised what I have to be able to start the rest of it so I have just been compiling my notes and trying to organise them into paragraphs.
The paragraphs themselves are going to have topics and I have been busy organising the topics that I want to have.
So, watch this space for developments! I have to get back to writing now!

Its been a long day!

I think I have finally decided what the title of my essay for CHI is going to be! It's been a long day researching and I have found a couple interesting points I want to elaborate on. I made sure to focus only on that today and put all my other subjects aside so that I could really get into this.
So I've been reading 'Feminist Television Criticism', 'Media, Gender and Identity' and 'Gender and the Media' today to try and get a hold of what it is I want to talk about.
I went for a walk this morning to clear my head before settling down to this research and the whole time I walked I was thinking about how I was going to go about this topic, because I am easily intimidated by large amounts of text and information. I figure I want my question to be something along the lines of "How is Feminism represented in the media?" and then I want to refer back to ways it was shown in the past and also refer to examples from the present. That way it won't be too much to digest for me but also the people who will have to read this.
I want to look at some journals too but for now I'm going to continue my research from these books and highlight some things I want to read up on more.

Until the next time!
