Happy Birthday to Me!!

Look what I got!! Yes I've been told that it's not right as a Graphic Designer to have a Kindle but I still said I'd like one. My wonderful husband and a a few other family members clubbed together to get me this for my present. I'm so excited and can't wait to use it. No more heavy bags from massive Harry Potter books! Wooooo!! Yes I'll miss turning the pages but I'm prepared to compromise here.
I wonder what book should be honoured and put on first? NIV study Bible I think! The Lord goes first :) Then probably HP6? Let's see...
Thank you to all who contributed to this I really didn't expect to get it! Thank you thank you thank you!! x x x x x x

The Genius that is Graze.com

I can't pretend that this is an original post but I'm still excited to do it. After a couple of people I know posted about their deliveries I thought now that I've finally been introduced to Graze.com (about a year later) that I'd show you mine! I love it just for the packaging and presentation! How exciting.
It's also making me try new things. Interested? Why don't you take a look for yourself!

This coffee is personal..!

Starbucks, Leeds Train Station, Vanilla Latte

... But not quite personal enough! :)
I missed out on my FREE Starbucks Latte the other day when they launched their new personal service which entails the staff writing your name on the take-away cup. Now I thought this was just for the promotional day. But today I decided to treat myself to a Vanilla Latte from Starbucks (normally I go to Costa). I was pretty happy to have a personalised cup however, the lady who served me - even after spelling out my name - spelt my name incorrectly. A bit gutted but I didn't kick up a fuss! I'm just glad she didn't put "F" for Female instead of the "G" (which I'm guessing is for "Girl"?? I've finally shaken off a nickname that I don't want to come back thank you! Ha!
I've also been fascinated by handwriting and how everyone's is expressing something different. I noticed that this has been spelt all uppercase except for the second "e". I'd like to do a personal project on handwriting one day. I have a good favorites list already! You know who you are my lovelies! ;)

Christmas Chocolate!

Well it's not exactly "Christmas Chocolate" but it is special chocolate and it was a Christmas present from my boss at Cherrygorgeous. I just couldn't eat them before I at least photographed them all together. They are very adventurous (and award winning) flavours. The brand is Lauden Chocolate. I've seen them around and admired the delicately designed and printed patterns that identify each flavour. I wish you could have smelt what I could when I finally opened the box! Wow!

It's been a while since I did any photography. However over the past few weeks at my placement I've been photographing products all over the place. So I figured now was a good time to do a little bit at home. Although I have no professional lighting back home, I just try to use the natural light from the kitchen window. I think it looks nicer than the yellow kitchen light.

I think it'll take me a while to eat all of these ha!

Wokon Packaging

Yesterday I was introduced to a brilliant healthy fast food restaurant in Leeds. I was cheeky and asked if I could have a clean box to bring home. This is the second time I've seen this type of packaging used within the space of 2 or 3 weeks. It reminded me of the "Puur" packaging from an earlier post.
Thanks Sian for introducing me to Wokon! You are a star! :)
