Hope you're doing good and your first days back at school/uni/work weren't as bad as you imagined.
Right, so I know celebrity big brother isn't everyone's cup of tea (I couldn't sound more British if I tried) but there's been a lot of controversy regarding a certain person so if you have no idea what I'm about to talk about then..you're welcome for keeping you up to date with current events;) Basically, this American politician called Winston (I don't care enough to know/to google his second name) set himself up for a lot of hate to come. As in his introductory video before he entered the house he said and I quote "I could cope with a homosexual in the house..I guess I'll just have too and with my back against a brick wall all the time". I mean come on, first of all he may be able to cope with homosexuals but in no way will they come close to even tolerating him. Then, to make matters worse they played a game using quotes from what some celebs had said and they had to guess who said what quote. Winston's came up and he said gay adoption is like child abuse and then the whole house freaked out (to nobody's surprise).
(I totally didn't just split the paragraphs to make it seem like I didn't ramble on..again I'm sorry about my ranting)
It's just unbelievable and the worst (yep it gets worse) thing about it is he claims he isn't homophobic yet he compares gay couples adopting a child to child abuse (definitely not homophobic at all...rolls eyes) He just infuriates me but I was so glad when he was kicked out by all the other contestants when they heard the quote he said and then Emma grilled him in the interview after. She did an amazing job considering he was being a stereotypical political meaning he would avoid answering the actual question at all costs. Then to top it off on celebrity big brother's bit on the side (also known as CBBOTS ofc) he got another grilling from Rylan Clark who presents the show. So Winston said I'm glad to be a black American able to express my own opinions so in response Rylan said I'm happy to be able to be a gay British guy with an amazing job and hoping to have kids in the future with my husband, this made me incredible happy. Even better (yep just wait), so of course he was trying to "justify" himself which went a little something like this; clearing failing miserably. I got on well with Christopher (he was one of the 2 gays in the house) and he borrowed a vest from him and he didn't judge his sexuality (wow big achievement mate, please do keep talking..just the constant thoughts running through my mind) and Rylan's comeback of you're not gonna catch gay from a vest was purely brilliant. So I'm sorry because I did try to keep this short but I find it hard to restrain myself when I'm talking about one of my favourite reality shows!
However I do want to address something which is just that I'm so glad a wider majority of the population don't care about people's sexual identity, just as long as you love each other and are happy then great. It just frustrates me when even in this day and age (wow that makes me sound old) have views that are just so outdated! Like we have evolved massively as before there would be be no Christians that were openly gay but now there is and that's wonderful, like that irrelevant man thinking religion is an excuse for being homophobic was atrocious and utter bull(shit). Why can't you just be happy that people are happy together?! What a great community the LGBTQ+ is, ugh it just fills my heart with joy to see now how widespread acceptance is for gays, trans, bi etc.
I still haven't used my bathbombs I got off friends for Christmas but my mum had a bath the other day and used the luxury lush pud one and the colours were amazing so I had to capture it:
Last week I got some new shoes in the January sales and they are called vintage floral vans. I've always wanted a pair and now I know they're going to be my go to pair of shoes to wear. Size 5 fit me well luckily because often I'm size 5 & 1/2 which is so awkward because nobody does half sizes so if I really want to wear a pair of shoes often I have to wear insoles because I'd rather get too big then getting too small and end up damaging my feet. Since I take a picture of pretty much everything (no wonder why I'm always running out of storage on my phone) then I thought I'd take a picture to show you:
Now I have this pair and a pair of bright pink vans. Yep, I'm definitely a person who loves pattern and bright colour, I just get so bored of bland colours like black and white. Unless they are combined together because I have some black and white skinny floral trousers from Topshop and they are lovely. Recently my new favourite clothing has gotta be patterned trousers, which is great because I'll wear them at home mostly but because they are fairly smart casual it means I can wear them for sixthform which is good as I'm always running out of clothes to wear. I started off sixthform planning cute outfits to wear the night before yet now fast forward to 2 years in where I wake up in the morning and end up throwing any jumper I can find and some black jeans on (that look like trousers so I can get away with them) and rushing constantly so I don't miss the bus. Oh how times change..
Right, so I wanted to take pictures of sparklers yesterday but it was raining when I tried so I couldn't because I didn't want to damage my camera but I swear I'll have done it by next Sunday. Hope you all have a good week!
Talk soon
