Hello again lovelies,

The weather has been marvellous the past few weeks and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than with, my favourite of foods, Ice-Cream! The best part of days like this is when, around five o'clock in the evening I hear a cheery little jingle followed by a familiar van filled with chilled sweet treats perfect for summer!

So an unexpected change in circumstances occurred  a few months back, when the sun had decided to show itself after a long cold winter. Spring had finally arrived. Sat in my room after a laborious day of school I hear one of those cheery jingles. But oh no, this isn't the familiar  'oranges and lemons' chime I'm used to but a new tune of 'match of the day'. I was distraught to say the least and refused to buy anything from the new vendor (which was painstakingly hard may I add). However, knowing me, I cracked and made a surprising discovery in the process. Here my lovelies is what I uncovered from my findings; not all 99's are the same. The delicious cone I was familiar with usually incorporated  whipped cream style ice cream with the chocolaty flake poked on top; this new 99' was composed of Cornish style Ice-cream instead. Flabbergasted by the change (though not complaining, ice-cream is ice-cream after all) I began to wonder, does Ice-Cream vary depening on where you live. Comments would be lovely discussing this topic, I'm really interested to find out ≧◡≦

The one and only 99' Flake

 Overall I think I've learnt a valuable lesson from all of this...
Don't be afraid to try new things, a little change may gladly surprise you!

On another note, I leave for Paris at 4am tomorrow and am no doubt going to order all food a la mode ,old habits die hard I suppose ;) I'll try and post some pictures from the weekend adventure soon after I return xxx

❀ Always, Deanna ❀

p.s. Only now do I realise how serious addiction to Ice-cream must be when I get infuriated by tiny little details like this, hahaha ;)

Hiya little lovelies,

So as you may have guessed today is Prom and I'm extremely excited to see everyone again. Everything has gone perfectly as planned apart from the weather. What can you expect though? we do live in Britain after all! Makes not being at Glastonbury an awful lot better, at least I'll be inside and not a sweaty, muddy field :)

Everyone makes such a big deal over Prom night to make it special. The lengths people go to to make themselves look good are ridiculous! Don't get me wrong though I mean, who doesn't like getting all dolled up every once in a while? But I keep getting this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach worrying like a little kid. I guess I'm just nervous, I'm always get anxious when  put in situations where there's a possibility of being judged. It's like we're putting on one big show with costumes, make-up, weeks of preparations to make opening night, a night to remember. Some people have got their head in the clouds over the whole thing, living in some sort of daydream. I've watched a ton of Prom themed films over the past few weeks (High school Musical 3 and Perks of being a Wallflower included) and many of the scenes are pretty similar to plans I've heard people discussing. I hate to break it, but life isn't a movie. Copying other peoples ideas won't make you happy, you've got to live in the moment, take opportunities as a great man once said

'life is a roller coaster, 

you just gotta ride it'

The best thing to do in these times is forget about everything and remember what's important. We're there to have a good time and to be quite honest I shouldn't care what other think because I live to satisfy myself NOT other people! So treat yourself, eat some cake, sing your heart out and shake what your mama gave ya! like so,

❀ Always, Deanna ❀

p.s. I'll post pictures of my dress and the night tomorrow, if i wake up tomorrow that is ;)
