Falling in love

Beanie: C&A Peso $150 Dollar $11
Mac Russian Red
So as you may know, the leaves are beginning to fall, and the cold is beginning to creep in. As i only have a few days left to enjoy this season before i am thrown into the baking temperatures of Aussie spring, i wanted to share with you a few accessories i wish i could wear longer! The mustache trend has been taking over, with necklaces, earrings, rings, tops and shorts featuring the "hipster flag". I find they are incredibly cute in small doses of course!
Shasa: Peso $29 Dollar $2!
Shasa: Peso- $89 Dollar- $6.60
The other thing i have been loving is the beanie is perfect to keep your head warm and looks very cute, i have been addicted to these hats since i found out the name! and i am pleased to add this gray one into my growing collection. As for the lips, the classic Mac shade Russian Red is perfect for the start of autumn and winter. Bringing a bright and bold aspect to a basic outfit.




As its coming to the end of my six months here, i have found i have changed ever so much, i am scared the people who used to know me will not be able to except the new me. I guess i will find out when i return home. However the song featured above en-captures how i am feeling in this moment. Heart break, the pain i have experienced in these short six months and the "sweet memories".

10 things that make me smile

Hello, sorry i have been ever so distracted with life. Working from my ipad is no good. I thought to finish my blogs on guadalajara however, i didnt feel inlove with the idea anymore. I think im going to stop blogging the things i think i should be blogging and start blogging about what i feel like. 


I wanted to make a list of all the weird things i secretely love to do. Things that until i sat down and really thought about it make me happy in weird and unexplainable ways. 

1. Walking very quickly in a crowded place weaving in out of people to get to where im going faster than everyone else. 
2. Getting into a warm car on a hot day and letting it pull me into drowsyness. 
3. Being so intimidated by someone i cant talk.
4. The crust on apple pie
5. Coming up with the perfect answer to a question 
6. Watching people, most of all the elderly lady named Lupita who works for my grandmother. Shes been with put family for over 30 years i believe and she is exceptionally fascinating. 
7. Taking a hot shower after swimming in cold water or being in the rain.
8. Never being able to remember what i look like and always being surprised when i look in the mirrior 
9. How the bus vibrates your head if you lean it on the window
10.  Sitting alone in public places and the awkwardness i feel. 

Thats my list, its very odd i know but i didn't ever notice how these things made me felt until now and i wanted to share. Let me know your top 10 things that make you happy with out you noticing. :) i hope you enjoyed this. Check out my channel on youtube : BeanQueen17 thanks for reading! Xxxx

Road trip day 2 part 2


Hello there so i have had a fun filled day! First of all we went back to Parque Agua Azul where we explored the butterfly observatory and the bird house which was cool and then we had a look at some more birds that were kept separate, such as parotes and weird looking breeds including a tucan! So cool! I havent felt that tranquil in a long time and i would recommend going there if you have kids or are a bit of a kid yourself! once we had explored everything we, went and checked out a small market near by. it was filled with bits and bobs, little trinkets and what nots, claiming to be vintage with hefty price tags for such little objects. It was cool though, they even had people selling old shot guns ha, only in mexico! While walking around we were stopped by a man selling tijuino, Eme bought one and encouraged me to try it, i was slightly put off by his aggressive method of combining the ingrediance, but i looked past it and tried this salty sweet drink and was delicious! Made up of lime sorbet, salt, lime juice and a mix of corn dough, sugar and boiling water which is then left to ferment slightly. Its ever so refreshing! And that day it was extremely hot so it was a welcomed treat. We then went back to the apartment for a rest as we are lazy people who were a little hung over from the night before. We then went out and met up with nacho again where we had a few beers and an early night! While we chatting though the idea to go to sayulita came up, i jumped at the chance to travel more so eme agreed we would leave his car behind and head off to sayulita the day after tomorrow! 

Road trip day 2!




Goood Morning! Boy did i have fun yesterday evening/night! 
Sooo after i shut off from you guys i popped my comfy shoes on and we headed of to the temple, after getting so lost we finally found it, we realized we must of had our head in then clouds because it was hard to miss hahah, it was extremely stunning, big archways and beautiful stain glass windows.  

Eme in front of said temple
We followed the temple with a sneak peek at Parque Agua Azul however it was closing and so most of the interesting stuff was locked up! However i would like to say a big thanks to the security gard who snuck us in after closing so we could get the jist! It looked very cool so we agreed to return today. After our little adventure around the the city we got ready to go on out! I met up with Natcho at the black sheep, very cool bar by the way, its in this cute little square with fairie lights on the outside and a campy feel to the tables that sit under shelter, their pizzas are made in a log oven so i enjoyed the smokey scent of the wood burning while i gulped down fairly priced beer. It was good to see Nacho again, he hadnt changed a bit except instead of his hair being the fuzzy afro i remembered it had been slicked and styled so the curles sat neatly on his head. We talked alot about the last two and a half years and he enthusiastically gave me the download on how his band is going. They are doing pretty well,  at the moment and are on the verge of a record deal with a mexican label. Though most of their songs are in spanish a few are in english so if your interested go check them out their name is Barston, their genre is pop/rock and i think they are pretty grovayyyy.
Barston, Nacho is the one in black haha!


 Any way after a couple of beers we bounced and headed to an underground bar/club that Eme's friend took us to called UV, if your in the area and you like electro and minimal music you will love it. Filled with hipster types and cool wall art the place is pretty chilled and has a good vibe. I thought the boys how to dance and had a jolly old time giggling at Nachos lack of rhythm.  


Us at UV arent i cool? left to right: Me, Eme, Pacco, Nacho


At around  one thirty we decided it was time to move on so Pacco, Emes friend led us to another club, the lines were long but it wasnt too hard for us to get in, i can't remember the name unfortunately but the interior was pretty cool, fashioned like an old english pub but had hardly any where to sit meaning it had a massive dance floor that was packed with fancy arty types and guys wearing paisley shirts. It was cool, but it was getting late and i wasnt feeling the atmosphere so after an hour or so i decided it was home time as i was nackered. Stumbling in at three thirty i crashed hard and got a rough sleep. After i have got some food in me and had a chance to explore i will check in with my thoughts on the day so far.

Road Trip!

Hey guys, i know i have been absent for a long time , but im going to do my best to keep you updated. Its been crazy here, alot of adventures and meeting new people. I am currently riding the high way to Guadalajara Mexico from Aguascalientes with my friend Eme. I made a spontaneous decision to go somewhere and asked if he would accompany me. I am extremely excited as i have never visited Guadalajara before. My friends say its one of the coolest places to visit and i cant wait to explore the unknown! Eme has only been for skating and filming so he is equally as clueless as me on the best places to go party, eat and see. I will be sure to document my trip and supply lots of photos of my cute friend and i! Its been beautiful weather and so the trip isnt too uncomfortable plus we over loaded the car with snacks and drinks to keep our tummies occupied! Unfortunately Mexican radio is sooo not upto scratch so i keep finding myself jumping from station trying to find some sort of channel that can supply me with some groovy beats but unfortunately all i can currently find is jumpy mexican tunes that unfortunately i dislike alot! So i am forced to listen to Emes cds filled with trans music and bad rap hahahaha its got me feeling gangsta though hehehe. We should be arriving soon! Update you then!   

Oh i am ever so excitable at the moment! So we have arrived to Eme's cousins apartment that she has kindly lent us while she is away and we are organizing our evening/night im a little sleepy as the trip is roughly 3 hours from Aguascalientes to Guadalajara plus unfortunately neither Eme and i have a sense of direction so it took us about an hour to find the apartment! Regardless im still keen to put my party shoes on as its a saturday and i hear the partay scene here is amazing! I am also very keen to meet up with an old friend of mine. I met him in Porta Vallara Mexico almost two and a half years ago, we had alot of fun! (not in that way though ooohhh errr) and i haven't seen him since! We have arranged to meet a pub called the black sheep close to Chapu which is kind of the center of the bars and what not! So im looking forward to that. But before i distroy my brain cells with alcohol we plan to go check out a very gothic looking temple called El Templo Expiatorio and then this big park called Parque Agua Azul! Apparently its beautiful, but its going to be interesting trying to find them hahaha, plus the temperature is rising here and im sure my face might melt off at any minute! I plan to do a tutorial on my everyday look while traveling as realistically i cant be slapping on a full face in this heat unless i want to look like a sad clown at the end of the day ha. Let me know if that is something you would like to see as i know its not everyones cup of tea! Ha that ryhmed... Im awesome :) catch up with you later!

Spoilt for Choices






Nail Polish Review And Haul!!!!!




From left to right, top to bottom:Top: Spontaneous, VII. Fith Avenue, Make An Entrance. Middle: Life Preserver, Desert Sun, Hey Sailor.  Bottom: Swing Baby (one of my favs), Black Diamond,  For Audrey ( love it tiffanys blue!),  White On White 


Hey So i wanted to make a blog post on these babies as i have been loving them! I have mad a video recently on all the nail polishes i have picked up and i thought i would write about my favorite new brands! So as you can see China Glaze and Sally Hansen are the two brands im going to be talking about. I was so impressed by the quality and the range of colours features in both collections! I will start by giving you a little information on each brand. China Glaze has been on the market for thirteen years, what makes it so unique is that the formulas contain china clay, china clay is the same matirial used in porcelain to make it all shiny and lovely! The brand is truley unique and the colours are too. They have a very diverse range of colours from neons to glitters and shimmers to the perfect red! i am truley enchanted by this brand and the results it gives me!

From left to right: Double Duty Strengthening Top And Base Coat, Green With Envy, White On, Lacy Lilac,  Rockstar Pink 

Sally Hansen on the other hand has been around alot longer, sprouting in the 50's Mrs Hansen and husband formulated a nail protection formula, 'Hard as Nails', people started calling it 'the nail clinic in a bottle'. All though i have only tried the hard as nails range, there are alot of others available from crackle overcoats, french manicure sets, nail growth miracle polish, to magnetic nail designs and nail polish strips! so there is something there for everyone. Both of these company's are equally unique in the benifits they offer and the result. I have fallen in love with China Glaze's Desert Sun and Sally Hansens Lacy lilac, both are going to be great for summer and spring! 

same as before
Now i found the Sally Hansen polishes alot easier to apply as they have a square brush which disributes the polish evenly over the nails, i found they were chip proof up to week if i applied the double duty polish as a bass and top coat. The colours are true and you need to coats at the most. I was very pleased with the products and for $48 paso which is $3.40 in the us and australia. However i know they are more expensive in Australia and for that reason i will be stocking up! Though i was thuraly impressed i would recomend never to shake the bottles before you are about to use them as then there will be bubbles that will come to the surface when the polish is drying and that is the same for all nail polishes including China Glaze. All though the brush is not as monkey proof as the Sally Hansen's, the formula was smooth and highly user friendly, the colours are truly amazing in this range and i doubt i will ever stray from these lady friendly products! At the affordable price of $54 paso, $3.80 for US and AUS i am very disapointed as i know they are very uncommon in Australia so i will also be stocking up as my falangies love the stuff and stay chip proof for a week also! I am so pleased with both these products! 
i hope you enjoyed reading my thoughs, please comment down below with any questions! 
also check out my youtube video on these brands an more!

Oh, como me encanta Auguas!

So as you know i did a small update on my movement to Aguascalientes Mexico and i failed to document my time there, however i do have a few snaps to show you! And some news! so today i will be leaving once again to go back to Aguascalientes as often when i'm in mexico i tend to travel to and from San luis Potosi and Aguas. This time i will deffinatly be keeping my blog and youtube in the loop as i will be doing a week of vlogging. Day one will be uploaded today so see above! and there should be my little adventures popping up every day! I had a wonderful time last time with my cousin Katia and Paulina and i ended up staying an extra week! that was why there was no posts for so long until now. The first weekend i was there it was the Faria De San Marcos, the biggest bar in Mexico they say as people pile into the centre and fill the main streets, with music dancing and ALOT of alcohol! Its the only three weeks in the year where you are allowed to drink on the streets and people go crazy! clubs open their doors and music is everywhere you go! it was amazing! See the photo bellow that i stole from the website.
So as you can see its quite busy and i did struggle a little, everyone holds hands and pulls each other through! it was so much fun. Bellow is a photo of me with a few buddys in out. WARNING! in some of these photos i look shocking as the camera washed me out!
our friend, my cousin paulina and me looking shocking!
me and the girls and a boy hahahaha kidding hes my friends boyfriend and Shine!

As it was party week we went out alot! i only have a few snaps, however we went to parties too! The first day i got there Katia was doing a dance performance, it was very very funny as she hates dancing and so she spent the whole time looking at what the other girls were doing and trying to copy them. Here we are, before it started, her costume is so cute!  
Me, Katia, Paulina and our friend Katia haha common name!
One of the things i found us frequently doing was going for coffee. My mother had bought us all matching dresses! i know very embarrassing and the worst thing is they are those terrible bintang ones! When i showed the girls their presents they loved it, so i agreed to wear the dress as a top so went out yes i left the house in it! but it was fun, hahaha. 
Katia, me and Paulina. Rocking the bingtang!
In the last couple of days before i left we went out for lunch and had an awesome time chilling by our friends pool! it was a nice end to my stay so, thats stayed in my mind and i will be going back today!!!!!!  


So that is it for all my holiday snaps so far! look above and you should see a blog post very very soon! i hope you enjoyed! and dont forget to check out my Youtube channel! have an awesome day guys and i will talk to you all very soon!

organicasm

Hello all, so i am very much one of those people that will watch a movie, read something or hear someone talking about an interesting topic and automaticly be persauded by what they say. i will be incredibly inspired at first to do all i can for that one particular cause and then after a couple of weeks something clicks and the passion i once had fades and the meaning is lost to me. However, i have littrally just this second finished watching a documentary called food inc, if you havent watched it i advise you too as it gives a great insight into the way the food is produced in America. All though the documentary only focuses on the united states,

Traveling in style

Hey everyone! So im going to be very busy during the next couple of days and so though i will still be blogging i wont have time to film unless i vlog, though i currently dont have a camera which is extremely annoying!  And as im in mexico everything takes a long time to happen! You say we will leave at 3.30 an hour later your getting ready to leave! Which brings me to my initial topic of being busy, i am currently sipping a beer in the back of a rather nice car on ma way with my cousin paulina to party with our rather beautiful and extremely fun mutual cousin katia! I recieved a message before i left saying to be dressed and ready to go to a party as soon as we get there. The whole situation is extremely exciting, however last time i was with this blue eyed beauty i drank so excessively  i woke up in the night and vomited all over my clothes, once we had all awoke in the morning we all sat on our bed having a chat when i realized what that faint sick smell was in the room. I leaned over and caught a glimps of the massacred clothes, shoes and floor. it was enough to set me off for  the rest of the day. Anyway, we always manage to have fun together and get into trouble some way or another. Its going to be interesting to see how the three of us work together! I will keep you updated along the way! With thoughts and love beanqueen xx

Here are some photos from last time i went!

New years eve!!!!

Katia and i at a cantina

Isnt she lovely?

Dont worry its shisha!

New camera, a thank you and a bean sprout!

Yo yo, what's happening ladays? I hope your all chillin nice and in the freezzerrrr if ya know what I'm saying? Good because I don't. Ha. Moving on bean sprout, so something amazing happened to me yesterday!!! And anyone who is reading this may think I'm a complete loser for makeing a post about this however I do what I want! So yesterday I received and email from YouTube, and it said someone had posted a comment on my video! It was a request for more hair tutorials and I could not be more chuffed! It is my first and only comment i have had and right now it was little nudge and wink I needed to carry on! As something terrible happened yesterday. My very trusty, and supposedly beanie proof Olympus water proof camera chose after 4 years by my side to be not so water proof anymore... And thus as my friend attempted to take a fun underwater shot it died... My father and I are trying to salvage what is left, however my gut feeling is, that its gone due to the fact I can see water in the lens and screen. The upside to saying goodbye to an old friend is that I am getting a new one. New camera = super good quality footage and photos. So to the sweet ushnair82 who brightened my day trumendasly for you the first film I will make on my new flashy camera with all the bells and whistles will be a hair tutorial :)

Mexico update!

Hello there! I hope you are all happy and sparkly this fine day! I honestly couldnt tell you why I am so chipped, I haven't slept all night and I am now coming on to the I terwebs at 9 am to scare you all with zombie talk! I'm not actually talking about zombies, I meant me not sleeping so there for I am a zombie... See what I mean? Truely not my self and rather a bit of scrambled egg instead! Anyway moving along now bean! I have been having a lovely ole time In Mexico! I appoligize for the lack photographic footage however I am hoping to get that all sorted out quick smart! So if I haven't explained the reaso. I am here will do so now. My father or chuy (that's his name! Well Jesus is his name but that's a whole different story!)is Mexican so there for I am half Mexican half Brit! And as my lovely father resides in Mexico I have come to see him in his natural habitat if you will and to see my family. I have been having a good laugh and half and it's only been a week and a half! However that is not to say there hasn't been a few tears! I'm going to messing around over here for around 2 months, maybe longer depending if my boyfriend can get his tour to stop off here on his way to god knows where! So yes, so far the high lights have been: -Getting to hold a tarantula in a bet store! (they were selling it for $20!!!) not going to lie I did want to take it home with me! -eating tacos whenever I want! Dad and I had a sneaky 3 am snack at a locale place they are open until 6am!!! So I can have a delicious snack when ever I feel like. Oohhhh errrrr almost wrote snake instead of snack! -I have had the amazing experience of shopping here, clothes are cheaper and so amazing!!! -bubble tea for $2.50 as well as general stuff like snacks and bear costing nothing over 20 bucks for the whole lot! - one of the best parts however was Getting to go and eat at my uncles restaurant! Argentillia is in Leon Mexico, if your ever in the area check it out, the food is amazing and for westerners the pricing is cheap compared to back home and this is for a 4 and a half star restaurant :) I ate so much I thought I was going to pop so we took a break and came back again the next day for lunch! For disert I got the coco nut terimisue. One for you.... AMAZING! I could it all day and still want more, no words can describe this little cloud heaven that flouted from the sky's and landed on my plate drizzled with a bitter sweet raspberry sauce.... - I also had a great time at the party I went to last time, except I ended up getting soaking wet, some of the boys had arranged water boms to be dropped from the 2nd floor windows on the heads of the unsuspecting party guessed that lingered in the garden. Unfortunately I was one of those unsuspecting guests and the end result was my toms (shoes) getting apsalutly dripping! So that pretty sums up my trip so far! It's been a blast and I can't wait for more. I love writing about all these little things and I hope at least one person appreciates what I have to say... I guess I do so thats all that counts!

Hair tutorial for spring

Hey guys, so ever since I was a little one, I have been coping crap for my ears. Yes they stick out and at one point looked ridiculously massive compared to the size of my head! Now through out the whole very long span of 17 years I have worked out ways to hide them. Now I know it's quite common for people to hav surgery to get them fixed as you will, however that idea has never appealed to me, I have this thought that if did once I woke up from surgery I wouldn't be able see myself anymore and I don't think I would like to give that up. Sometimes you have to except the way you are and work around it! And that's what i've done! I know that when I was a little bean sprout it would have been nice for someone somewhere to say hey you little bean don't worry your fine, and when you grow up you will be happy the way you are! But alas I didn't and so I spent many years sleeping with head bands on thinking that my ears would eventually go flat but it didn't work and gave me a very big head ache! I used color coordinate my head bands to my clothes as I was terrified the wind would blow if my hair was down and the terrible truth would reveal itself and everyone would know I was secretly dumbo! I will never forget the day I took it off at school. I was in the girls bathrooms and I had done my hair super marvy well I thought it was super marvy for a 15 year old however my head band ruined it all and made it look weird. My best friend at the time turned around took it off my head and shoved me outside, I instantly thought i was going to die of embarestment but she grabbed my hand and pulled me along and said that it was fine and to get over it. We went and sat down with our other chums and to my surprise there was none of that terrible slomo laughter they do in films, snide comments or even an eye lid batted at my two friends that sit on either side of my head. As time went on I became more confident, my friend the same one that freed me from my insecure shackles mentioned that if I was still nervy about them sticking out when my hair was straight then I should back come my hair a bit and around the front so that it would all stay in place and there would be no freak out if the wind so happened to blow... The whole back coming thing did lead me into a terrible scene fad however I won't get into that now! Let me just say I was 15! As I got older I wanted to do more styles, and as I live in good old down under and the sun can be scorching at the best of times! I needed to figure out a way of putting my hair up but still having a little coverage for comforts sake. So I came up with this little fun doooo, now I do realize I am wearing a for of head band in this however you can wear it with out and still be covered. I thought the flower reef headband would be so cute for this look and couldnt resist popping it in! I might do another video on this as this is something that I really struggled with for a long time and I would hate to think of other people feeling the same way without getting to talk to anyone or not having a tough best friend to sort you out when you need it! I hope you enjoy the video! And if you have any questions or comments please leave them bellow it would be really lovely to hear from someone! With thoughts and love BeanQueen! Xx

It's time to partido

Holla senioritas! I am now in Mexico, I arrived at my final destination around 1 and after scoffing down a few tacos I'm trying to get some shut eye however it's 3.36 in the morning and even though I have been to hell and back I can't seem to sleep! So I thought it would be a good idea to check in with you all. Now I think you are all going to gasp I'm horror when I tell you I didn't get anything in duty free however, I didn't have time the first 2 times and then by the third airport layover I was wayyyyy to tired and stressed to be able to think about it! However I promise I will be doing some amazing hauls as the shopping here is great and a little birdie told me there is a high chance of me getting to go to America! Which is extremely exciting for me! The down side about all this is Toms not here. As you may or may not know Tom is my lovely lovely boyfriend who sadly couldn't join me for this great adventure though I have my fingers crossed that he might be able to russle up the dosh to come see me for a bit. It hasn't been 2 days and I already miss him! I'm afraid you are all going to have to put up with the odd mone about this as I'm finding it very hard however, I will do my best to restrain from boring your brains with all my mushy nonsense! Anyway I better get some shut eye for tomorrows adventures! Thoughts and love BeanQueen

I'm on Cloud Nine


Ello Ello Ello, so for a while now i have been debating which straightener i wanted to invest in as, i had a a limited pink kiss ghd which lasted roughly three years. At first it was great! my hair was shiny and i was a happy little bean. However after about a year and a half, my hair looked more fried than fantastic and it seemed to me that the temperature varied from very hot to barely hot enough to straighten my curly whirlys. So once it got to the point where the thing hardly turned on, i binned it and went on the hunt to find a new magic wand to tame my curls. I had heard of Cloud Nine before however i was not sure if it was really for me. Anyways, as im prone to impulse buys, one dreary day at work i almost bought a GHD again, i thought it would be an exciting little buy to chear me up but my boyfriends words echoed in my head about thinking a little harder before jumping into something. so i continued to search and then a i heard zoella280390  a youtube beauty guru talking about her Cloud Nine, i did a little more research and after reading about them i was convinced it was the straightener of my dreams. I have had it for a week now and i am so chuffed! I't cost me $270 for the  iron, heat guard and a carry pouch. You get a 2 year warranty and the swivel cord helps protect the cord from breaking. The best part of this nifty little iron is the temperature control panel, it allows you to change the heat, so that your not frying your hair and you can work it to make different styles with different levels of heat. Also apparently it has a magical and mystical ingredient in the ceramic plates to make your hair fanciful and shiny. Im pretty sure like GHD, Cloud Nine is an international company and you will be able to get it all over the place. They have 3 sizes of iron, The Cloud Nine Iron the one i have recently purchased, The Cloud Nine Wide Iron which is perfect for thick, long or very tight curled hair and The Cloud Nine Mirco Iron which is good for fringes, mens hair or short hair. I found out something very interesting about this classy little company, they are the founders of GHD that ditched the company in 2006, who have reunited with the people who invented the original GHD. After years of working on these flat irons they are finally satisfied and so am i! Cheers Cloud Nine for making me feel like i have hair worthy of flouting on the clouds :) Let me know if anyone else have tried these wands and what you think of them!!!!

Hello there!

Hello and welcome to my world...!
I shall start by introducing my self, my name is Beanie also known as Bean Queen. Im 17 years old and i live with my boy friend and 2 other boys! I know, it is a struggle to find my own space and so i thought why not have a virtual one instead! In many ways i am a girly girl but i think people seem to only see the rather eccentric side of me. I have a certificate II in make up and make up services that i finished in December last year. Right now im at a very strange point in my life which most people face when there a little bit older. However i have never played by the rules and i have found myself a little lost! so naturally the first thing i do as any other sane human would, i have booked a flight to mexico to live with my father for 6 months! Im leaving my boyfriend behind in Australia while i go sort my self out! the challenging part is, i have never lived with my father and i found he was quite absent while i was growing up so this is going to be very interesting! I have decided im going to take you every step of the way! blogging and vlogging about my adventures and ups and downs!
It is Easter and I'm spending it lounging around and playing with my very own Easter bunny Sweet Dee! i have less than 20 days before i leave and I;m terrified. I just keep reminding myself of the shopping i will get to do when i get there! however the prospect of saying good bye to my friends, family and more importantly my boyfriend Tom is terrifying. Cross ya fingers for me! I'm going to need all the luck i can get!
with thought and love Bean Queen x

this is my little bunny Sweet Dee!
