The Time of My Life

-

Thursday 20th October, I had the amazing privilege of going all VIP and attending a fabulous event, hosted by Glamour magazine to celebrate the launch of Cecelia Ahern's brand new novel 'The Time of Your Life'.

Following a warm welcome, into the beautiful Customer Services Lounge of Selfridges, Oxford Street, people quickly began to line up for one of the two fabulous, complimentary beauty treats on offer - a manicure courtesy of NARS or beautiful eyebrow threading, courtesy of Blink Brow Bar.

I couldn't believe my eyes when the lovely Cecelia entered the room. Looking very elegant in a polka dot A Line dress (bang on trend!!) and court shoes, she was even more elegant in the flesh.

Glamour's interview (including a question written by myself) was an amazing insight into the mind of a writer whom I admire above most. Young, fresh, imaginative and a total darling! I feel more inspired than ever to pursue my goals.

And to top it all off, I had a quick chat with the lady herself, while she signed my copy of her brand new novel. After telling me that I looked fab (!!!!), we had a photo taken together. All whilst I desperately tried not to act hysterically happy at meeting my favourite living author.

A fabulous VIP time was had. Here's hoping that one day, I'll have my very own book launch.

Morning. I hadn't planned to write this post - it wasn't scheduled or anything like that but I decided that something needed to be said. Over the past few days, I've had a couple of rather unpleasant comments on here. I won't dwell on them but the first one was a little cheeky. The second was downright mean and nasty. Now, I'm all for constructive criticism and I work constantly to improve the quality of what's on the blog, with regular features etc. And even invested in (read: was gifted with) a new camera. So, you have to understand that the blog is a work in progress. Also, might I add, a hobby. I work full time. One comment asked me my 'credentials'. My job is in Marketing, within the internet development team of a top UK jeweller. I don't need credentials to write a blog. Being a blogger is about having an interest in something. It's also about being brave enough to put yourself out there and I will always expect comments from people.
