Body positive VLOG

Hey bloggers!

I've just done my first ever vlog, and it's about BODY IMAGE and PLUS SIZE. I think these are really pressing matters that need to be explored, even if from only my view. So, please check it out: share it, love it, and learn from it.

WordPress!

Hi Blogger followers!

I've not been idle:


between daily pages, blogger, promotion for The Snow Killer and well, life; I've started a Word Press blog!

Come say hi and give me a follow!

I'm currently doing a series about a Doctor Who-loving duck who think she is married to the Doctor (Yeah, I'm not sure where that's going either), and I'm posting daily about my life and any golden-writing I might come up with. 




Don't worry, I haven't abandoned you Blogger. I'm just, testing the water.

Black and Red - poem

A new poem for you all. 

Inspired by: doodling red and black hearts in my notebook (as if I am twelve...)When: 27/11/2013 in lecture


Black and Red


Black hearts against the red.
Can you see them?
They are the brightest hearts
(sometimes.)

Those lovers:
their eyes shine.
They are clever and bold and bright
and cruel.
(Like we were.)

We were shining, weren't we?
We were, and still are, 
young
with red-blood pumping.

Through time, we've changed. 

Your heart is matte now,
mine shines in the dark.
You can have the Sun my love, 
and I shall watch the stars
(Our stars.) 
You will learn to love again.
I shall finally learn to live.

My black, black heart
oh, how you made it beat.
You still do, you know
(but do you know your effect on me?)

I think you will love her
she isn't the one, but she is Alive. 
Enough for you, anyway.
(She isn't me, is that good?)

I wasn't enough. (Could I have been?)
OR: I was too much, perhaps?

We have danced together
beneath the stars.
Will I feel the light of the Sun
on my skin again?
There is no heat on my skin.
Not anymore.

You are alive, my darling.
And I shall be forever jealous;
guarding my stars in the black night
that is my heart.

Stuck for where to buy this Christmas?

Hello beautiful bloggers!


It's only a month until Christmas, so it's time to start shopping for presents.


amazon.co.uk have been great for me this winter, and with surprisingly fast delivery, there's no need to worry about that special present not arriving on time. I got my mom some great Disney socks for a really cheap price, check them out: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pairs-Ladies-Winnie-Piglet-Eeyore/dp/B00DW5TPNS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1385300505&sr=8-2&keywords=eeyore+disney+socks

Looking for something a bit more academic? I stop my step-dad this interesting book about wolves, but it would be suitable for any age: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0061626570/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or, a music lover? My friend Alex is obsessed with Evanescence, so I got her this beautiful framed mount of their album: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004DSIEZI/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And, for that little cousin (or my 21 year old friend, Ashleigh) why not something Harry Potter themed? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EQZ72J2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

NiceEShop are great for handmade trinkets, here's the link on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=niceEshop&index=watches&search-type=ss

OR, if you like handmade gifts, but aren't sure what to get them, check out: etsy.com 
They're really cheap and amazing quality: just remember to order soon because some items may be shipped from around the world.

Any more ideas or great websites to use this Christmas? Tweet me @melissaholden94

Let the countdown begin!
