The past few months have had a few ups and downs so this has had to take a backseat for now. I guess I'm writing this post as I'm not really sure where I want my blog to go. I've had ideas in the past but at the present time they don't feel right to me. I'm going to take September as a month to decide what I want the Silence of The Moon to be and hopefully I'll be back in October :)<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is well, Hannah. xxHannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926489446779961079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436425803766066318.post-47273562736553203632012-04-22T05:28:00.002-07:002012-04-22T05:28:51.888-07:00ApologiesYes I am the worst blogger ever and have seriously been neglecting my blog but this is just a little heads up that I won't be posting again until the summer. My exams start in a few weeks and my health has been all over the place so I haven't had much time for anything else. See you all at the end of June!

Legannany Dolmen is a megalithic dolmen and is around 5,000 years old! It's name in Irish is <i>Liagán Áine </i>meaning "Aine's standing stone" (Aine being an Irish Goddess) and was used as the grave site of a chieftain. I went to find another dolmen close by but apparently the road it is on doesn't exist :S But I shall find it on my next journey to historical places. Northern Ireland has around 150 dolmen's that are known, and could have many more, but Ireland as a whole has some of the best preserved and oldest dolmens, stone circles and standing stones in the world! I'm hoping to see as many as possible :)<br />

I just celebrated by 18th birthday last Sunday (12th) so have been out partying for that as well as many of my close friends and family whose birthdays are in February. I also managed to get tonsillitis in the middle of it (which I've never had before,) I swear I am a magnet to every infectious illness in existence! <br />
<br />
But other than that I am intending to up the posting in the near future. I still intend on putting up a post on angels, guardians and spirit guides as well as the February Amarya Organic Beauty Box, Heathenism and even tattoos! So keep your eyes peeled for those in the coming weeks.

The next night however I took a break from revising and decided to treat myself to watching LOTR The Two Towers (it's my favourite!) In doing so I managed to nearly munch my way through a whole box of pringles and a jar of salsa. (I deserve a slap on the wrist for that!) I know I said I wouldn't deny myself some treats but that was waaaaay too much. So this week I plan to be healthier than usual.<br />
<i> </i><br />
<b><i>Week 2 Challenge</i></b> <i>was about figuring out what other health issues you have and how they effect your fitness and quality of life. These can be physical or mental including stress levels and comment on how you can improve these.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
As someone who's missed a year out of school due to illness, it plays a big role in my life. Although I try to grin and bare it most of the time it can take over and make me unable to do anything. If you haven't read any of my other posts, I had a chronic dry cough for 8 months due to stress (ie coughing like a 40 year old on 60 a day every two minutes, and that is no exaggeration.) I was very good at dealing with stress when I was younger but being a typical Aquarius I can't express my feelings and I'm used to giving others advice rather than asking for help myself. and so ended up very ill. While I was ill many people though there was nothing wrong with me, thinking a cough can't be serious which made me feel even worse. It's true that people don't get a three dimensional view of long term illness until they've experienced it for themselves. It was also around the time when swine flu was gripping everyone so I was started at a lot in hospitals.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What made my cough worse was the fact that two years prior I fell off a horse, landed on my hip and moved all my vertebrae from the top of my neck to the base of my spine out of place, my hip was rolled forward and trapped with a nerve in my leg and the bottom of my spine. I went to the hospital the next day and they said I just had muscle damage so I didn't go to an osteopath until a year or more after when I learned what was really wrong. He wasn't sure how I managed to go on for a year but most of the time I didn't notice the pain as it was constant. It's safe to say I have a high pain threshold but am now prone to getting trapped nerves and tense muscles in my back as well as my hip rolling forward every so often. <br />
<br />
<br />
My cough has impacted all aspects of my life; my voice changed due to the damage of my vocal chords so I can't sing as high which is quite annoying as I'm in the choir and liked doing the soprano 1 pieces. I've been left with hyper sensitive airways similar to an asthmatic's so I have to take an inhaler. I also physically can't breathe when I walk past someone smoking or if deodorant has been sprayed. My immune system got a serious battering and I get awful migraines. Although my chronic cough has been cured for nearly two years I still get a horrible barking cough when I'm ill and take a long time to recover. My health has also made me have to reconsider what job I want to have in the future.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My exercise plan has been improving my core muscle strength so I should be less likely to have problems with my back. I also want to go back to horse riding soon as I have gone for 10 years but have only been three times in the last two years. I will continue to take vitamins and herbal remedies to strengthen my immune system although I try not to let illness get in the way of me enjoying my life. A major thing I need to do more is learn to relax and have more me time. Most of the time I consider things like doing word searches or researching topics of interest relaxing but in truth my brain is still going mad. I'm going to take even five minutes out of each day to do some breathing exercises or meditation. As far as migraines and my airways go there isn't much I can do. I take preventative medication for my migraines which works amazingly but I'm not sure if there are any herbal alternatives? My airways just have a mind of their own so I just try to stay away from triggers but I'm so glad they aren't affected by incense. The main thing I can do again is exercises to help relax my throat and vocal chords.Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926489446779961079noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436425803766066318.post-83272687944343830692012-01-21T14:44:00.000-08:002012-01-21T14:44:10.494-08:00Illamasqua GoodiesAs I've been ill for the past few weeks I thought I'd treat myself to a present to make me smile (also because Illamasqua were giving away a free liquid metal with anything from the Christmas gift shop section, I couldn't resist!) (Just adding to this now, I started writing this soooo long ago that I've bought even more Illamasqua products which I'll include. <br />

</tbody></table>Firstly, how gorgeous is the brush roll! It's an image of Narcissus gazing at her reflection. I had my eye on it for a while but it was only available with a full brush set and I couldn't justify spending £90 then I saw it was in the Christmas shop along with a lip brush. As it was my third purchase with Illamasqua I also got 10% off :)<br />

</tbody></table>Firstly I'm going to warn you about the bombarding of pictures of this product but it's gorgeous! There is a golden version called Pulse (I think) but as I'm as pale as they come I got this one that has amazing blue shimmer in it! Definately very Skadi/Ice Goddess like :) It has quite a delicate coconut scent too. I purchased this from the sale so it was reduced from £32.00 to £7.50 - a complete steal! I really hope the sparkle shows up, and ignore the yellowish one, just the way the sun was coming in.<br />

</tbody></table>Although I think Illamasqua's packaging is gorgeous they really haven't thought it through on the pure pigments; they go everywhere if you don't open them right, which I clearly found out. Other than that Fervent is a reddish brown with blue, green and silver shimmer, (I recommend clicking on the picture to see it better. A very unique shade which I'm unlikely to find anything similar to. I'm looking forward to coming up with a look using this shade. This was also purchased in the sale for £7.50 and was originally £15.50.<br />

This month's products didn't come in the usual Amarya Beauty Box, but instead a regular Amarya delivery box. I wasn't too worried when I found out what was inside.<br />

<i>"With the extract of over 1,075 organic Rose petals in each tube, this rich, beautifully scented and bestselling moisturiser will regenerate the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and calm. A fantastic cream for reducing redness and couperose conditions." </i>As someone who suffers from redness and broken capillaries, I'm highly excited for this cream. I've only been using it for the past two mornings so haven't yet noticed anything drastic so I just have to give it time. It has a similar floral smell to Pai's products which I like but it doesn't linger on the skin. It has been a good moisturiser so far and coming from a person that has to use eczema cream on their face and doesn't actually have eczema that's a big claim to make!<br />

This is my first tag, how exciting :) (I've put this into UK spelling)<br />
<br />
<b> Rules:<br />
1. post these rules.<br />
2. you must post 11 random things about yourself. <br />
3. answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post.<br />
4. create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.<br />
5. go to their blog and tell them that you've tagged them.<br />
6. no stuff in the tagging section about ‘you are tagged if you are reading this.’ blah blah blah, you legitimately have to tag 11 people!</b><br />
<br />
<b>1</b> I can easily spend a whole night's "sleep" reading, I often found myself still engrossed in a book when other people in my house were getting up for work.<br />
<b>2</b> I've gone through a lot in my life for a 17 year old and although I nearly didn't make it I've come out a stronger because of it.<br />
<b>3</b> My friends always come to me for advice but I am unable to ask for help for myself. I bottle my emotions until I snap which can have horrible effects on my health.<br />
<b>4</b> I adapt well to new situations. I had to go back a year in school because of illness and didn't know anyone, now I have the best friends imaginable :)<br />
<b>5</b> I'm a work hard play harder kind of person. Most people in school think I'm quiet and get on with my work and don't think I party as much as the people who brag about it.<br />
<b>6</b> I need my alone time! I go mad if I'm around people ALL the time. I was the only girl out of three children so learned to be by myself. I enjoy being solitary, my sanity depends on it!<br />
<b>7</b> I'm fascinated by pretty much everything, the more knowledge I can have of something the better. Once something interests me I have to find all the information on it I can!<br />
<b>8</b> I am an organ and blood donor, I believe in helping all those I can :)<br />
<b>9</b> I am mildly allergic to pollen, cat hair, dust and house dust mites and have hyper sensitive airways but incense doesn't affect me :D<br />
<b>10</b> I play the guitar, piano and used to play the violin. (I wish I didn't quit!) I would love to play the harp.<br />
<b>11</b> My favourite smells are lavender, petrol and a winter's day when it has been snowing.<br />
<br />
<b>11 Questions I Get To Answer:</b><br />
<b><i>What is your favourite colour? Why?</i></b> Green :) I don't really know why, I like earthy and dark colours so hunter green.<br />
<b><i>What is your favourite band/music?</i></b> I love music from all different genres but I always come back to Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Ludovico Einaudi & Fleetwood Mac time and time again. I love New Age and Soundtrack music and I'm getting more and more into Pagan Metal.<br />
<b><i>What is your favourite movie? Why?</i></b> Oh, it HAS to be The Lord of the Rings Trilogy! I own all three, extended editions of course! The Two Towers is probably my favourite though. I love Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven too. I have a thing for reallllly long movies :) I don't know why, I'm just obsessed, I mean, have you SEEN Viggo & Orli?! who wouldn't want to look at them for 4 hours ;) & have been told I look like Arwen :) ...ahh Liv, she's so lovely.<br />
<i><b>What is your favourite website? Why?</b> </i>Probably Blogger! I love catching up on all the blogs I follow and get new ideas and perspectives on things :) <br />
<b><i>What is your favourite time of year? Why?</i></b> I love Autumn/Winter. I am a Winter baby so it is understandable but I do love the darker part of the year when the air is so cold and crisp, you can really feel Skadi is here :)<br />
<b><i>What do you do for work?</i></b> I'm currently a student in my penultimate year at grammar school studying Chemistry, Biology and Psychology... (spot the science nerd!) I was doing English Lit but dropped it in November, I enjoyed it but it was taking up all my time.<br />
<b><i>Do you have a favourite set of sheets or blanket you love? Why do you love it?</i></b> My mummy made me a little quilt when I was in a cot and I've had it ever since, I love it, it's so cute, with little patchwork elephants, butterflies, ducks and more :) <br />
<b><i>Do you have pets? What are they and their names?</i></b> I have two dogs, three cats, two tropical fish and a kitten (we did have two more but they disappeared :( ). The dogs are a chocolate Labrador/Collie cross called Bailey & a Lhasa Apso called Pippa (she actually has a big long silly name because she's pedigree), then the cats are called Muffin, Buttons & Minnie, and the kitten is called Mog. One of the fish is called Harry the hoover because it's one of those sucker fish that sticks to everything, (they were my mummy's friend's fish).<br />
<b><i>If you could have any superpower what would it be?</i></b> This is a really hard one, but probably to be able to absorb information and keep it all. I'm an Aquarius, I'm interested by everything and like having knowledge :) wouldn't mind being able to time travel either :)<br />
<b><i>What is your favourite food/dish?</i></b> Sushi! Oh I love sushi :)<br />
<b><i>What is your favourite drink (alcohol or otherwise)?</i></b> Earl Grey Tea, nothing but the best :)<br />

I wasn't really good on what I was eating but portion sizes were definitely down and I've been drinking as much water as possible. I've been sticking to my exercise plans making sure I did stretches everyday but I didn't get a chance to jog so I'm off to do my intense yoga session (this will be fun :/)<br />
<br />
Current Measurements (last weeks measurements in brackets)<br />
<br />
<b>Weight</b> 9.12st (10.0st)<br />
<b>Waist</b> 29.5in (30 in)<br />
<b>Hips</b> 35.5in (36 in)<br />
<b>Bust</b> 35.5in (36in)<br />
<b>Widest</b> <b>Part</b> 39in (39in)<br />
<b>Thighs</b> 21.5in (22in)<br />
<br />
I really wasn't expecting this result after only a week but it has encouraged me to continue on my quest to becoming the fittest and healthiest me possible :) <br />
<br />
A short post but I've too much studying to do!Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926489446779961079noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436425803766066318.post-12840613658408093412012-01-05T12:45:00.000-08:002012-01-05T12:45:59.543-08:00The Joys Of JanuaryJanuary is well under way, I've only been back to school for two days and already I'm stressing! My mocks are coming up in the next few weeks and are really important so I won't be back to posting until near the end of the month, except for the Witchy Fitness Challenge check-ins on Sundays. I'm going to be soooo behind on the New Year, New You Challenge but what can you do. Hopefully my work will pay off and I'll be back posting soon. Have a good January! Hannah xxHannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926489446779961079noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436425803766066318.post-28425022404472640772012-01-02T07:01:00.000-08:002012-01-02T07:03:10.620-08:002012 New Year's Witchy Fitness Challenge BeginsSo, it has arrived at last, and as you would guess the first requirement is to take your starting measurements. <br />
<br />
<b>Weight</b> 10.0st (138.8lbs)<br />
<b>Waist</b> 30 in<br />
<b>Hips</b> 36 in<br />
<b>Bust</b> 36in<br />
<b>Widest</b> Part 39in<br />
<b>Thighs</b> 22in<br />
<br />
Another requirement was to take a before photo, I'll take one later but I don't think I'll put it up as I don't own a bikini (yet!)<br />
<br />
Next is goals. As this is a fitness challenge I'm not interested in losing lots of weight (although it would be nice!) My main goal is to improve my strength and posture, and tone up my curves. I don't want rid of them but I do want them to be tighter. I've been to countless physiotherapists, osteopaths and Chinese therapy acupressure sessions about the whole of my back that I know I need to start doing something myself about it. <br />
<br />
Finally is the plan. This is probably the hardest thing to make and stick to but I'm going to give it my best. It's best to put it into two sections; a diet plan and an exercise plan.<br />
<br />
<b>Diet Plan</b><br />
<br />
1 Drink at least 2 litres of water. I can become a little dehydrated when I have my cough but this should be easy enough when I get back to school as I always fill a bottle up in the morning and have it drank before the end of the school day. I'm going to bring an extra one and make sure to fill it back up when I get home.<br />
<br />
2 Stick to the <a href="http://www.meatlessmonday.com/">Meatless Monday</a> Campaign. I'm beginning this today as it is Monday as I've recently purchased the River Cottage Veg Cookbook after watching the programme. This will not only improve my health but the environment too!<br />
<br />
3 Stop grazing when I don't need to. I have a habit of eating whatever is in the house when I'm not even hungry, or even worse I eat while waiting for something else to cook!<br />
<br />
4 Cut down on portion sizes. I don't really eat that unhealthily but I know that my portion sizes are waaaay too big for one person. I can eat quite quickly too so my body doesn't have time to tell me it's full before I've finished my plate.<br />
<br />
5 Stop having <i>I NEED THE MOST UNHEALTHY THING I CAN THINK OF</i> phases. Like I mentioned above my diet isn't that unhealthy but when I crave something sweet or savoury that is loaded with calories and not much else I go mad eating as much as I can. I'm not going to deny myself a treat once in a while, I already do try to limit the amount of buns I bake, but no more nights of milk chocolate that I don't even like! (I do however like dark chocolate and a square of proper dark chocolate is meant to be good for you.)<br />
<br />
6 Make sure I take my vitamins! Pretty self explanatory but I ALWAYS forget to! <br />
<br />
<b>Exercise Plan</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Monday</b></i><br />
<ul><li>Core muscle stretches</li>
<li>Resistance band stretches</li>
<li>Gentle Yoga before bed</li>
</ul><i><b>Tuesday</b></i><br />
<ul><li> Core muscle stretches</li>
<li>Resistance band stretches</li>
</ul><i><b>Wednesday</b></i><br />
<ul><li> Core muscle stretches</li>
<li>Resistance ban stretches</li>
<li>Jog on Wii</li>
</ul><i><b>Thursday</b></i><br />
<ul><li> Core muscle stretches</li>
<li>Resistance band stretches</li>
</ul><i><b>Friday</b></i><br />
<ul><li> Core muscle stretches </li>
<li>Resistance band stretches</li>
</ul><i><b>Saturday & Sunday</b></i><br />
<ul><li>Core muscle stretches </li>
<li>Resistance band stretches</li>
<li>Intense Yoga or Walk & Rest on other day</li>
</ul>It is possible that my mummy and I will join Slimming World or Weight Watchers in the next few weeks too. Good luck on achieving whatever goals you have set!Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926489446779961079noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436425803766066318.post-70336843399528052732012-01-01T16:55:00.000-08:002012-01-01T16:55:14.655-08:00Meatless Monday CampaignI'm really jumping on the challenge bandwagon and this time it's something that I've been contemplating for a while. After talking it over with my mummy earlier today, I've decided to join the <a href="http://www.meatlessmonday.com/">Meatless Monday</a> campaign, to <i>"one day a week, cut out meat"</i> in order to improve health and the environment. Although I wouldn't become a full blown vegetarian (I love bacon and red meat too much) I did choose too study adolescent vegetarianism for my home economics coursework a few years ago and found that there are many benefits to excluding meat from your diet no matter how long it is for. Health benefits include reducing the risk of some cancers, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Not only that, leaving out the meat one day a week reduces your carbon footprint, decreases fossil fuel dependancy and minimises water usuage making it environmentally friendly too.<br />
<br />
If you are thinking of joining in on the Meatless Monday campaign there is a widget in the side bar with recipe ideas and I will post some recipes I've tried out too along the way. Meat often takes centre stage on the dinner plate, but it doesn't have to be there for food to be just as delicious.<br />

As someone who tries to have a "just do it" approach to life, I still need a kick in the ass about doing certain things.<br />

Thankfully some of mine have been made into blog challenges so that should have some motivation. 2011 has been an odd year with many ups and downs but I do not wish to look back with any regrets, only to look forward to the year ahead with an open heart and mind. So, here are my resolutions!<br />
<br />
1 Accept myself for being me. If you read my Yule Magic gift it was to let people know that they deserve to give themselves a chance. I had a habit of letting people get to me with nasty remarks but it's not me that needs to change, it's them.<br />
<br />
2 Be healthy. I don't want to lose loads of weight and be a size zero, I'm happy with my curves. For me health is about feeling good mentally, physically and spiritually. Since my chronic cough, my immune system has been shot to pieces and I pick up everything, but I try not to let that get in my way. After suffering with a back injury for 3 or 4 years I really want to devote myself to strengthening my core muscles which will not only help me tone up, but prevent further injury.<br />
<br />
4 Focus more on school. The last point ties in with this one in that my not so great health has an impact on my school performance. I still try to go to school as much as I can but sometimes it's not possible and I fall behind. This is an important year for school work and can determine whether or not I get to do the course at university that I want to. <br />
<br />
3 Explore my path as a Pagan. Although I've officially been practising for over a year, I often have so much other stuff preoccupying my mind that my spiritual practice gets pushed into the background. Poor health and school work seem to be the main things that diminish my practice, although I say a prayer everyday I want to do more than that and explore other practises and traditions.<br />
<br />
4 Plant a veg patch and herb garden. I love gardening as it gets me closer to nature. We grew lots of food at our old house and I loved it so it's definitely something I want to do again.<br />
<br />
5 Get more involved in the craft. As my knowledge of herblore increases I want to make my own incense, oils, tinctures and beauty products so that they are personal to me.<br />
<br />
6 Exercise more. I guess this is associated to the being more healthy one but again time and injury are the main components as to why I don't exercise enough. As the strength of my back improves I want to go back to horse riding and start yoga again as I love doing it.<br />
<br />
At the moment those are my main goals for the coming year, I may add to those or give myself goals for each month but those are the long term ones for the year. What are your resolutions for 2012? I'd love to know :)Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926489446779961079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436425803766066318.post-82181174486210902062011-12-23T14:33:00.000-08:002011-12-23T14:33:03.558-08:00A Year To ReadOne of my resolution for the coming year is to make more time to read, so in light of this I've joined another reading challenge for 2012.<br />
<br />

I'm opting for the Elf Level of 10 books but hopefully I'll get reading more than that.

All too often we are quick to tell ourselves that we don't deserve something or we aren't good enough.<br />
<br />
Quite often the only person setting us back in life or not letting go off the past is ourselves, so every solstice I like to perform a little ritual to give myself a break. I write down all the things I want to let go of and the things I want to let happen in my life on little bits of paper. The things that I want rid of such as fears, regrets and bad habits, I put in fire and burn them to be cleansed and renewed. Those that I want to prosper such as good health, happiness and personal goals, I bury in the ground so that they can grow within the earth and grow on a energetical level on the physical plain.<br />
<br />
We all deserve to give ourselves another chance, to wipe the slate clean, forgive ourselves for something we've done wrong so that we can grow and live our lives to the fullest. Have a blessed Winter Solstice! xxHannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926489446779961079noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436425803766066318.post-19671026463985245552011-12-13T13:05:00.000-08:002011-12-13T13:05:04.963-08:00Amarya Beauty Box Dec 2011Ahh the heating is broke, a classic sign that winter is well and truly here, (we've even had a little snow!) however this little box arrived in the post and brightened my day :)<br />

(All my tissue was ripped underneath so I won't be able to use it for other people's presents :( )<br />
<br />
Firstly I just have to say how much I love the packaging of the first product. REN have teamed up with de Gournay to create this gorgeous artwork on their 2011 Christmas Gift Sets!<br />

<b>REN Neroli Duo Gift Set - <i>£28.00 full sized sample</i></b><br />
<i>"A zesty, invigorating, uplifting duo of Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash and Body Cream presented in a beautiful box with de Gourney design. Great for a morning pick me up!"</i> Firstly this is almost triple the price of the box so immediately you are getting your moneys worth. I had a little smell and try of the moisturiser and I have to say I'm liking it. I can't wait to get using these to perk me up on these dark mornings.<br />

<i>"This gentle cleansing cream will offer a deep cleanse without upsetting the delicate acid mantle of the skin.

I'm looking forward to trying this one out.<br />

<i>"The World's first certified organic perfumes made with essential oils and natural extracts based on the principles of aromatherapy. Nine Eau de Parfums to choose from."</i> I got the Wheat Almond Eau de Parfum, "revitalizes your senses thanks to the combination of bitter almond essential oil, palmarosa essential oil and essence of orange." I had a little spritz and the fragrance isn't for me. Perfume is a really personal thing so you either like a scent or you don't. It's quite a similar in smell to Marks & Spencer's White Peach and Almond Hand & Nail Cream. Personally, I prefer the cream.<br />

I was going to do a "star of last month" bit at the end of each Amarya Beauty Box but I had a really hard time choosing what I loved the most.

I haven't been very well for the past few weeks so haven't been in the mood to decorate or bake, (I couldn't eat all weekend) however it is my school Winter Ball on Wednesday so I will put some pictures up of it as my post.<br />
<br />
Sorry if you were looking forward to the post, I will try and have the Yuletide Blessings post up on the correct date.

Both start in January and last the whole year through so I will have many updates (hopefully) on both of these.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQsaqjOaaVMoAHXDytwG_mOglN5VR9RZ3v7x8ZS5EAzk8vn8jLiiUNR38uXcfslErUl_zdrDg713HUFuq7OJ2VTFR6UXfIiZbX3ipVDGVV57NDa6Z1XKSJjvGR9ko715bwuS5NICrxONs/s1600/paganreadingchallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQsaqjOaaVMoAHXDytwG_mOglN5VR9RZ3v7x8ZS5EAzk8vn8jLiiUNR38uXcfslErUl_zdrDg713HUFuq7OJ2VTFR6UXfIiZbX3ipVDGVV57NDa6Z1XKSJjvGR9ko715bwuS5NICrxONs/s1600/paganreadingchallenge.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The first I have joined in the 2012 Pagan Reading Challenge. It is designed to get us all motivated to read more about the craft, nature and paganism in general. The challenge includes any fiction books also related to this topic, so anything about witches, magic and the paranormal counts.<br />
<br />
I have decided to opt for the realistic Beginner Read of 11-15 books at present as next year is going to be pretty heavy on school work from January to June but I may advance on or reduce this number as the year goes on. There's so many books on this path that I want to read but don't have the time so I'm hoping this will motivate me to get reading! Hopefully I'll make a start on a Book of Shadows next year too.<br />

</tbody></table>My next motivational challenge is the 2012 Get Off Your Broom Witchy Fitness Challenge. I've wanted to get into shape so bad the past couple of years but illness and other obligations just haven't made it possible. I'm not really worried about losing lots of weight but I do want to tone up, eat better and feel as healthy as I can (despite the random illnesses I get.) When you feel good about yourself it really boosts your confidence and an event like this will hopefully give everyone the determination and focus to achieve their goals. Check ins will be every Sunday so expect some health related posts in the coming year!<br />
<br />
I hope your December is getting off to a magical start!

I've been in a Yuletide mood today, singing carols at choir, snow this morning and of course baking for this cupcakery! I decided to make gingerbread cupcakes, well, because I love gingerbread :) I was initially going to try my hand at eggnog cupcakes but couldn't find the recipe book :( hopefully I'll find it before Saturday's blog party. Anyway, here's the recipe!<br />

<span class="instructions">6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="instructions">7. </span><strong>For the frosting:</strong><span class="instructions"> while the cupcakes are cooking place 50 grams of the butter in a pan with the brown sugar and cook over a low heat until melted. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk and stir to form a thick glossy toffee sauce. Leave to one side to cool to room temperature. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="instructions">8. In a large mixing bowl beat the butter until smooth, then start to sift in the icing sugar, stirring regularly. Add the toffee sauce and stir until thoroughly incorporated. Add a splash more of milk if the mixture seems too thick - the frosting should be light and creamy. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="instructions">9. Put the frosting in a piping bag and pipe onto the cupcakes. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving. </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</tbody></table><i>"Inspired by the cult Asian market Beauty Balm creams, Skin Base Foundation is a brand new, refined formula unlike anything on the UK market. Easily blendable, it effortlessly creates a perfect complexion, and like the entire Illamasqua foundation range, is undetectable in a professional HD environment. Suitable for all skin types, it smoothes, softens and conditions your skin whilst providing natural, buildable coverage."</i><br />
<br />
I've been looking a new liquid foundation for ages, but find it difficult to get one to match my skin tone exactly or one that is moisturising enough. I wanted to try this out because of the great hype and reviews surrounding it and I saw why it has gotten this attention when the lady at the counter put it on me; it's flawless skin in a bottle! The woman also informed me as to why my skin is so dry and it is because I exfoliate too much (any scrub that recommends using it every day don't do it! It takes around 8 days for healthy skin to surface so if you scrub all the top skin off everyday there's no moisture left in the deeper layers that are coming to the surface.) This shade is the lightest for colourings with yellow undertones.<br />

<br />
The lady at the counter also used this on me as both a blush and a contour which had amazing results for such a light and natural colour. Katie is described as a soft candy pink with a matt finish.<br />

</tbody></table><i>"Illuminate your alter ego. Use the Illamasqua Highlighter Brush to apply Illuminator to anywhere you’d like to draw attention. Wonderfully versatile, this brush can also be used to buff Illamasqua Light or Rich Liquid Foundation onto the face, to create a polished look."</i><br />
<br />
Since the cover of my elf stipple brush melted into the bristles I've been on the lookout for a new buffing brush. I prefer using this kind of brush than a regular foundation brush as it provides a more natural and buildable coverage. It is particularly good with both the skin base foundation and for applying blush.<br />
