Inside Melly's Mind

There's a lot of battling the January blues going around the blogosphere, so I'm throwing my thoughts out there. Here are my top 10 reasons that January does not suck.

The birthday edition of the Wednesday Wish List. 

As the year comes to an end, I'm taking a moment to reflect on the years that's gone by. 2012 has been a beautiful one.

Tagged by Becky, over at TwentyNothing , today I'm writing all about why I wear makeup.

The camera was on the wrong setting but this is my fave pic now  As promised in my previous post , I have blogged the outfit that I wore to the store opening.

Firstly, this post has been a long time coming (over two weeks, to be precise), due to circumstances beyond my control - losing my photos and then getting them all back etc. So, a huge apology. However, it's all still completely relevant (yay). So, read on, readers. Mr Birds Emporium awaits you.

I haven't done a Wednesday Wish List for a while but I thought this one should acknowledge a colour trend that is refusing to budge. This week, I'm going wild for all things berry.

Hey guys! This post was inspired by a great post that I read over on Elizabeth East's blog Dainty Ballerina . She wrote a letter to her fresher self, from 2009. It was such a fab idea that I felt inspired to write my own.

It sucks when friends have to cancel plans. But I decided to take full advantage of the fact that I was already fully dressed, wearing a full face of make up and had a bit of a play with my camera. I have a tripod now. Well, my dad's tripod - same difference.

Today's nail of the day is all about bright colours and leopard print.

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.
