I finally found the time and money to hop on the nose piercing bandwagon, horray!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love it, from the minute I saw it I was so pleased I did it - it didn't look different, it looked like i'd always had it pierced, which is kind of surreal but also great news for me as I didn't think it would suit me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a lovely sunny Thursday when me and Lauren popped to the Corn Exchange to get it done. I also purchased these shades from Blue Rinse the same day, Lauren then purchased them about an hour later - great buy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was umm'ing and ahh'ing about getting this done for a while as I knew none of my family would approve - not as much as they disapproved my tongue bar anyway!! My mother actually liked it as it's tiny and can barely see it however I received a disappointing reply from my dad and the rest of my family just didn't bring it up. I decided to get it pierced as even though they may dislike the idea that I have a 'hole in my face', it's <u>not</u> their body and besides I barely see them when i'm living away at uni anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't wait till I can change it, I want to buy a cute etsy stud or just a plain ring, maybe even both. The only bad thing is that I keep fiddling with it which sometime looks like i'm picking my nose (opppps)</div>

I have fallen in love with so many backpack recently, I only actually own one - this need to change. Backpack are so easy to wear, stuff everything in them and just throw them over your shoulder and thats that, perfect on a spring/summers day (whenever the sun arrives) to pack your camera and picnic in for a bike ride. I say it's that easy but I always get paranoid when wearing one, incase someone pickpockets without me realising.<br />
There is a small pale pink frilled backpack I fell in love with in Topshop the other day, which sadly isn't on this post as it isn't actually on the website. Other backpacks I really like at the moment are, <a href="http://flowersinthewateringcan.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/want-list-1.html">The New Look Backpack in Want List #1</a>, <a href="http://www.asos.com/PullBear/PullBear-Patchwork-Backpack-in-Tan/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3942974&cid=8730&Rf946=2297&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=Tan">Pull & Bear Patchwork Tan Back Pack</a> and <a href="http://gypsywarrior.com/accessories/bags/bowery-mini-backpack.html">Bowery Mini Backpack from Gypsy Warrior</a> (which I just forgot to put on this mood board, opppsie)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On either side of the mood board are two beautiful backpacks from <a href="http://www.freepeople.co.uk/">Free People</a>, who sell luxury and fabulous gypsy/boho hippy chic style clothes and accessories. I love both of these backpacks, I really wish I had the money to buy the leather one, however at £398.00 - I'll probably give it a miss. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I put the Hershel bag on the mood board for a bit of a joke. David actually has <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/uk/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=5771415242001&parentid=WOMENS-BAGS-PURSES-EU">the bigger version</a> of this style and when we saw it in Urban Outfitters yesterday we hilariously both stood next to each other with them on, twinnies! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't think I can pick a favourite out of all of these bags because they are all so different, however when loan day comes along (only a couple more weeks away now). I definitely think that the <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=33057&langId=-1&categoryId=209977&productId=14462860&storeId=12556&intcmpid=W_SUPERCAT_ACCESSORIES_UK_WK30_MUST_HAVE">Pale Pink backpack</a> will make an appearance in my Topshop basket or at least one of these.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #b4a7d6;">Which one is your favourite?</span></i><br />

My mother's day was spent playing scrabble and baking with my beautiful momma. For my mums birthday I bought her the Lorraine Pascale's 'A Lighter Way To Bake' which is packed with a load of lovely recipes which aren't too naughty for you - the brownies are like 50 Kcals less than the average recipe. Personally I didn't like the sound of these muffins and was very dubious about trying them however I actually really enjoyed them and they are only 155 Kcals!<br>

<b><br></b>
<b>Method:</b><br>
- Pre heat the oven to 200'C, Fan 180'C, Gas Mark 6. Line the muffin tin with 12 paper cases<br>
- Steam the sweet potato and butternut squash for 5 minutes until tender<br>
- In large bowl, mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder<br>
- Beat the egg and egg whites in a large jug<br>
- Beat the milk, yoghurt, oil and maple syrup until smooth and well combined and add the egg mix<br>
- Mix the wet mixture into the dry mixture with as few stirs as possible<br>
- Add the butternut squash and sweet potato along with the sage and salt and fold in<br>
- Spread the mixture between the 12 cases<br>
- Scatter the grated apple over the cases<br>
<br>
Pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The centre may be damp from the moisture of the vegetables but the cakey part shouldn't look raw.<br>

This was trending on facebook yesterday, as the BBC posted the incredible video of this woman hearing for the first time in her life. So overwhelming, I got goosebumps. It's so incredible that we have the technology today to help people with horrible diseases, like this woman!<br />

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released this official photograph of them with Prince George and their dog yesterday. They have released this ahead of their tour around Australia and New Zealand.<br />
I love the composition and pale hues of this photograph, Prince George looks adorable and handsome already and I love how he is staring at Lupo. I do love the Royal Family.<br />

Oh, I do love Tom Fletcher and his adorable videos, I hope you all saw the time lapse video of their 9 month pregnancy - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ7-v7xVm3I&list=UULsgDgYTlIDN3cCLSMpooNQ">from Bump to Buzz</a>. My friend posted the link for this video on my wall yesterday and I can't believe I haven't seen it sooner. It's just sooo good, and I love how fluffy his ginger cat is too.<br />

Last night, well, this morning, we went out at the fine hour of 1am to shoot some photographs for our <a href="http://sunandmoonboutique.bigcartel.com/">Sun & Moon Boutique website</a>. Which, will hopefully be launching next week! 2 hours later, after lots of outfit changes and mid shoot squatting, Hayley had turned into an ice cube. Today the plan is to fit in editing and uploading more garments on the the website around uni work and Hayley is planning an editorial/advertisement shoot to be shot in the next couple of days. In the mean time check out our new <a href="https://twitter.com/sunandmoonb">twitter page</a><br />

Risky, you say? Yes, I hate jeans and tops that are waist length... I'm a freak, I know. Confidence issues suck, but I love this outfit!<br />
I'm loving River Island recently, I haven't been shopping in a couple weeks and I fell in love with everything in sight. There was so many different patterns, colours, styles, and this top caught my eye, it's so colourful! Paired with some simple black jeans, the ones I have picked are from Topshop, something of which has never been on my legs before. I just hate jeans, how tight they are (I say that, but I wear leggings all the time, which doesn't make sense) and uncomfortable and I don't like how they look on my legs - I'm yet to try how amazing Topshop jeans are. I want these shoes, I actually love ALL the shoes at Urban Outfitters right now, I just hate the price tag. I think they have similar shoes in Primark at the moment (I can hear them calling me) which most definitely won't be £80.<br />
I'm also finally on the Michael Kors watch bandwagon, I want this watch so bad! I'm not a fan of the massive rose gold jewelled style but when David kindly sent me the link to the Amazon deals on Michael Kors watches and I actually saw a couple which I really liked. I can't believe the prices either, most of the watches are 'more affordable' than I thought they were. Dammit now I need to find a spare £140...<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Holi!</span></b></div>
Today is the day spring festival of colour in the Hindu calendar. Holi is celebrated by throwing, playing and chasing each other with dry powder to resemble love and belonging with lots of dancing, music and singing involved. I would love to be in India right now!! Hopefully in August we are going to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1404830106431479/?fref=ts">Holi One Festival in Leeds</a>, which is inspired by the Hindu festival.<br />
Ever since I met Sonia at university I have fallen in love with the Indian culture; the festivals, the colours, the jewellery, their family ethics, the dancing, well just everything else. She showed me the video below of an amazing, magical wedding the other day and I can't get over how incredible it would have been to be there. Obviously, the family must be utterly minted, especially to jet their wedding guests off to Vegas! I'm just waiting for Sonia to get married now... She is actually bringing some henna back to Leeds with her, so if you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/charlierendall">Instagram</a>, I will put some pictures up but in the mean time you must watch the whole video!!<br />

My 2014 goal has been broken, I haven't done this post each week - sorry! But I've had a busy couple of weeks. If you've not seen my <a href="http://flowersinthewateringcan.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/a-little-update.html">previous post</a>, I've managed to get myself a placement, signed a house for next year and worked a hell of a lot. Uni work is also piling up too, second year is getting harder, ahhhh. Hayls and I have also been brainstorming ideas for our plan to open a vintage re-working business - 'Sun & Moon'. Still early days but it's very promising. </div>

These little fellas are Orchid Flowers, they all look like something else!<br />
From top to bottom, left to right we have: Dracula simia (the monkey orchid), Orchis Italica (the naked man orchid), Habenaria radiata (the white egret orchid) and Caleana major (the flying duck orchid).<br />

Very sciency, but so cool. What will happen when you wring out a cloth in space? I totally didn't expect it to turn out the way it did. Incredible, I love how he is just floating with the microphone! You really don't think about the implications that life would be like without gravity! <br />

I really enjoyed this article in <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/26/4-year-old-paper-dresses-fashion-by-mayhem_n_4855545.html">Huffington Post.</a> Meet 'Mayhem', a 4 year old girl who loves to make dresses with her mum out of paper and cello-tape. The whole article is adorable, Angie (her mother) talks about how they sometime look up current trends and copy their dress, or just get creative and create whatever spring into mind. There is sooo many different dresses, apparently it's a 50/50 effort too, Angie wasn't home one day and made one without her! I assume we will be seeing her in the FROW in a couple (maybe more) years time! <br />

We have a presentation in a month about 2 companies that we are reviewing the shares and news of, I know nothing on reading up about share prices, so if you know of any good advice/hep sites then please comment! <br />
<br />
Anyway, here's a little update of my life: <br />
I have finally got a placement sorted! HOORAAY. I start 2nd June as a Trainee Accountant, I'm so scared yet so excited. Luckily I managed to get the placement in Leeds so we have also just signed for a new house for July with the girls. Me and David are also planning on booking flights for Spain in the next week or so as we're going to <a href="http://www.bilbaobbklive.com/2014/en/">Bilbao BBK Festival</a> in July and then travelling around Spain after. <br />

I saw this <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/bags-and-purses/green-formal-zip-front-backpack-_298722030">backpack in New Look</a> yesterday, oh my. Me and Lucy had to leave the shop quickly before we bought it (I'm so poor right now - I just paid a deposit for a house for next year which has skinted me and I've totally over spent this month) Anyway, the bag. It's just beautiful. I really don't think that this picture does it justice, the colour doesn't look the same as it does in the flesh. At a reasonable price of £19.99, I'm trying not to give into temptation but it would fit all my uni books in perfect, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've wanted these <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/leggings-1100/stripe-gingham-leggings-2575021?bi=1&ps=20">treggings from Topshop</a> for ages, I'm a huge fan of patterned leggings and these need to make it in my wardrobe. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I picked this <a href="http://shopdixi.com/product/ganesha-amulet-necklace">Ganesha Amulet from Dixi</a>, an on-line boutique for vintage and modern jewellery. I bought a couple of necklaces from their sample sale last month which are beautiful, I'm going to do a blog post soon as my second one arrives (unfortunately it broke in the post) but I can't stop wearing them! I really like this Ganesha Amulet as it comes on a rope cord which would look great as a long necklace or tightened as a choker for a more grungy look. </div>

I love photography, I got an A* at GCSE and A at A Level, in the back of my mind I kinda wish I went into it instead of accounting. This incredible work is by <a href="http://www.nicolasbrunophotography.com/">Nicolas Bruno</a>, who is actually the same age as me - bit depressing. He uses his sleep paralysis dreams for his inspiration and creates fantastic surreal photographs. I'm definitely going to try and get some more film photography done in Feb, might even use my dreams as inspiration... I think they might be a bit too crazy to photography though. I actually dreamt of kittens the other night and actually squealed out loud, I terrified David and I was woken up by him shaking me, hil-arrrrr-ious.<br />

Bit strange? Yes, but totally cool. Pregnancy/birth is such a magical experience and this is such a rare occasion, I think its incredible that the baby didn't even know it had been born! Amazing. Definitely reading the source!</div>

Oh god, this is hilarious. Have you seen any performances from the Grammys yet? Well I watched Taylor's performance before I saw this version and I was like she wasn't attacked!?! Then I watched the video hahahah, it really does look like is she is having some sort of stroke or something. Beyonce and Jay-Z's performance was so raunchy too.<br />

It's taken me like 2 weeks to finally finish this post, I've just not wanted to finish it and I don't know why... I submitted my essay the other week and I thought I'd finally see what all the fuss is about with Breaking Bad, and so far I am loving it, I will rport back once I've watexperience or tre. I'v lost my Ted Baker purse SOMEHOW in the house. If you don't follow me on Twitter, then you won't know, but I'm going out my mind. I think I've actually accidentally binned it and I'm so angry with myself. </div>

I should probably tell you why we went to Manchester, well Lucy got 4 tickets to go and see The Jeremy Kyle Show, so we decided to make it a full trip! The drive to Manchester from our home is just over a 2 hours journey, but instead we thought we'd make it an extra hour longer and take a detour to the Peak District. A lovely pit stop to see the views, rocks and to have walk around. The Peak District is beautiful and is located in northern Derbyshire, it's full of hills, wildlife and the views are breathtaking. I'm so jealous of Lucy and her boyfriend who are going in the next month or so for a couple days, definitely want to go again, and this time bring my camera!<br />

Lucy managed to find a great deal for an apartment in Manchester city centre, at <a href="http://www.bluerainbowapartments.com/manchester-apartments.html">Blue Rainbow Apartments</a> for the night. In a two bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room, altogether it cost us about £50 for the night. Perfect location right near Deansgate Lock which is a 10 minute walk to the town centre. The only down side is they never told us that on arrival you had to place a £100 deposit for the room incase you drank any of the alcohol they conveniently left in the fridge. Luckily for us the card machine wasn't working so we didn't have to pay the deposit, which meant more spending money ehehehe.<br />

We got to Manchester about 3pm, checked in, dropped off our bags and got our bearings around the city. I tasted my first ever Taco Bell, wandered around Manchester and the Arndale for a couple of hours and then spent the rest of the night in the flat. Ordered a chinese later on and watched We're the Millers! Which was such a good film, very heartwarming and hilarious, definitely buying it for my DVD collection.<br />
We woke up nice and early on the Thursday, after an amazing nights sleep, to do some retail therapy before we saw Jeremy. We went a little mad, David bought a telescope, I got a cute pale green phone bumper from HMV, 59p reduced from £14.99 (crazy savings, I know) and I finally bought a <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/en/msuk/product/clothing-299047/coats-jackets-299068/pink-wool-boyfriend-coat-2582636?bi=1&ps=40">pink boyfriend coat from Miss Selfridge</a> - it is gorgeous, my <a href="http://flowersinthewateringcan.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/miss-selfridge-boyfriend-coat.html">OOTD</a> is here!<br />
We then got some pub grub and rushed back to the hotel to grab the car and drive to <a href="http://www.mediacityuk.co.uk/">Mediacityuk</a>. We literally had no time to have a look around, we were told to get there for 14:15 and arrived bang on time so we had a couple of minutes to relax until we were called in. We didn't even get chance to get a picture with the daleks *sobs*.<br />
When we were called in, we waited in the reception for an hour, so boring, then the team explained what was going to happen and ran through some likely reactions - lots of BOOOOOO, awwwwh and cheering! Obviously the better we were the more exciting the show is.<br />
We then went through to the studio, walked behind the back of the scenes (where you see everyone storming off), the four of us were placed smack bang in the middle, third row up, which is where they place the family members, so we were switched about in each story. Unfortunately we were totally forbidden to take any pictures of the studio, it basically looks exactly the same as it does on the telly, however it seems so much more smaller in 3D!<br />
The floor manager was absolutely hilarious, telling us everything that was going to happen with his cheeky jokes. We had a test run, while we were waiting for Jeremy to finish getting ready with some of the audience members.<br />
We had three stories, all went really quick, we were in there for about 2 hours! They literally were one after another, and when Jeremy introduced the break it was silent for about a minute and then the show started again, so bizarre.<br />
The stories where actually really tame, I won't go into detail but it should be shown on the telly in about 4 weeks! I'll give you a heads up when its going to be on! I definitely recommend you get <a href="http://www.itv.com/jeremykyle/be-in-the-audience-show">applying for some tickets to see the show</a>, I can just describe it as hilarious and an experience - hopefully you'll have more crazy story lines. If you cant get tickets (took us a couple months) you can always go to media city when they are recording and queue as they let a couple people in to fill up the spare no show priroty seats.<br />

Huge apologies these pictures are terrible, David refused to take the OOTD with my DSLR because he couldn't be bothered to faff about with the settings and demanded he used my phone instead.<br />
How amazing is this coat? I fell in love with it in Manchester - post to follow - and I just needed it. I've been after a boyfriend/cocoon coat for ages now, I even made a <a href="https://www.shopcade.com/charlotterendall/lists/52b05e6b4587197055ecf073/boyfriendcocoon-coats">shopcade list of my favourites</a>, but when I saw this, I knew I had found the one I wanted.<br />
On Friday night (delayed post I know) me and David went for some food before I went back to Leeds. We just popped around the corner from my house to a pub called The Farmhouse, I'd not been in for years but recently they have had a change of chef and we'd both heard good things. We ordered a sharing starter which turned out to be huge, I was so full after eating it all, I literally barely touched my main. Luckily we both went for a light flat bread and a panini so it wasn't too bad, I did manage to eat a lot of delicious sweet potato fries, yummm!<br />
Tigs rocking David's vest...<br />

The blog is one today! I can't believe it's been a whole year since I wrote my <a href="http://flowersinthewateringcan.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/a-new-year.html">first blog post</a>. Looking back at my three simple resolutions and I only achieved a mere 1.5 out of 3 of them and this year I have 40! However I'm more determined to stick to them this year, I've decided to design a poster with them all on, print it out and stick it on my uni wall!<br />
<br />
I just want to say a <b><span style="color: #b4a7d6;">big thank you</span></b> to everyone that reads, comments and contributes to my blog. I can't wait to blog more content this year, it was very sporadic this first year and I refuse to let it be like that this year! I'm planning on getting a new look for the blog in a couple of weeks if I get my design head on and attempt it.<br />
I've thoroughly enjoyed my first year of blogging, I've worked with some great companies this year such as <a href="http://shopcade.com/">Shopcade</a>, <a href="http://www.bakingmad.com/">Baking Mad</a> and <a href="http://www.sugarandstyle.co.uk/">Sugar + Style</a> and hopefully a lot more in this year to come.<br />

Pentatonix is a 5 man acapella group, who are just incredible. If you have no idea what acapella is, then just wow, it is when music is made without instruments and it's just amazing what these guys can do with just their mouths and voice boxes! </div>

David actually sent me this video and after I watched it, I said 'I hope I can dance like that at that age'. He then laughed at me a lot and said they aren't "elderly" ....... Easy mistake, right? Either way their dancing is awesome!</div>

I've taken up knitting and thought that this idea was so cute. Look at the little penguins ehehhehehe. I would love to knit a jumper for a penguin however I don't I'll be at that skill level anytime soon. To be honest, the first comment on this article is actually kind of true at the fact the wool might not help them at all and could make matter worse...</div>

Me and David have booked our tickets for <a href="http://www.bilbaobbklive.com/2014/en/">Bilbao BBK Live 2014</a> in July which is so exciting, the plan is to travel around Spain after so we were looking for cultural festivals and events that we could attend while are there. This is what we found, crazy Spaniards. This is a picture from their Human Tower Competition Tradition they hold every 2 years, these pictures of the event are incredible, check out the source to see them in more detail!<br />

Of course another Beyonce related video. With the release of her surprise Visual Album - which is so fucking amazing - she has release a part 5 documentary of behind the scenes making the album and the videos. I've watched each part a couple times now and I'm just so much more in love with her. Definitely worth watching all parts, as they all reveal details of the song meanings and how she wrote/sung them. She is just so cool.<br />

I introduce to you, <a href="http://iherb.com/">iHerb.</a> I would like to thank <a href="http://www.llymlrs.com/">Lily Melrose</a> for introducing me to the site, unfortunately I can not find her post to show you! I had been meaning to get my hands on some Real Techniques for months now, and just hadn't got round to ordering them. <a href="http://www.iherb.com/">iHerb</a> is an American website which sells nutritional supplements and lots of other healthy products.<br />
Hayley and I chipped in together for the shipping as we both treat ourselves to some new brushes. I ordered the <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Real-Techniques-by-Samantha-Chapman-Your-Base-Flawless-Core-Collection-4-Brushes-Case/41367#p=1&oos=1&disc=0&lc=en-US&w=real%20techniques&rc=24&sr=null&ic=8">Core Collection</a> set and the <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Real-Techniques-by-Samantha-Chapman-Your-Finish-Perfected-Stippling-Brush/41373#p=1&oos=1&disc=0&lc=en-US&w=real%20techniques&rc=24&sr=null&ic=5">Stippling Brush</a>, whereas Hayley ordered the <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Real-Techniques-by-Samantha-Chapman-Your-Finish-Perfected-Blush-Brush/41372#p=1&oos=1&disc=0&lc=en-US&w=real%20techniques&rc=24&sr=null&ic=1">Blush Brush</a> and the <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Real-Techniques-by-Samantha-Chapman-Your-Finish-Perfected-Setting-Brush/42483#p=1&oos=1&disc=0&lc=en-US&w=real%20techniques&rc=24&sr=null&ic=6">Setting Brush</a>. This came to a total of $39.96 including $4.00 shipping costs.<br />
A friend told us to be weary of shipping from America as they do spot checks on parcels which charges about £30 a pop, an inconvenience but a price me and Hayley were prepared to pay if it got checked. Mainly because we were getting the brushes so cheap anyway!<br />
<br />
$39.96 works out about £24.33, and for 7 Real Techniques brushes, that is just crazy cheap.<br />
The shipping was only £2.44 and between the two of us it was pittance. We ordered end of November and received our parcel on 19th December, so it took about 20 days for our order to arrive. You can pay more, I think its $8.00 to get it delivered to you earlier, but we saw no point.<br />
We'd rather wait 20 days and pay £24.33 for the brushes rather than walking in to Boots, freely and paying £52.96 for the same thing!<br />
The brushes are just the same quality and fortunately they didn't arrive damaged, which is always a risk. <a href="http://www.iherb.com/">iHerb</a> also emailed me a couple days before arrival asking if our parcel had arrived yet and if not to let them to know when and if there is any problems. Which reassured me that they were there to help if there was a delivery problem.<br />
<br />
I actually haven't looked properly on the site for anything else other than the Real Techniques, however I do plan to see what their skincare and makeup section is like, see if I can any more bargains!<br />
<br />
Have you ever used <a href="http://www.iherb.com/">iHerb</a> before?<br />

<br />
I hate the term 'resolutions', it's almost like we make them to break them. I've come up with a couple of things that I would love to have achieved by the end of the year. Kind of like <a href="http://www.beckybedbug.com/p/101-in-1001.html">Becky Bedbug's 101 in 1001</a>, however I don't think I could possibly think of 1001 things!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-size: large;"><b><u>Blogging Goals:</u></b></span><br />
1. A blog post a week with my 'cool things' feature<br />
2. Blog more about baking<br />
3. Go to a blogger event<br />

9. Pass second year - would be most ideal<br />
10. Get a placement - ideally in Leeds, ideally with a good company. However I am NOT being picky, i'm just applying everywhere and anywhere. (If you have any/know of any Accounting internships, hit me up - I'm the best)<br />
11. Be more confident in myself, I always doubt if i'm right or not, and I think especially with my work this is a big weakness of mine<br />
12. Move in a nice flat or somewhere nice for my placement<br />
13. Get supervisory role at O2<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-size: large;"><b><u>Personal Goals:</u></b></span><br />

15. Watch a shit load of Disney films<br />
16. Go to see Charl, Tori and Alice in Spain at least once every 2 months... Hopefully if I can afford it, they are all leaving me for a semester in the sun, boo!<br />
17. Go on holiday with David for the first time<br />
18. Find the perfect skin care routine for me<br />
19. Read the book David got me for Christmas 2012<br />

21. See the fireworks on New Year in London<br />
22. Explore Leeds more - I've lived here over a year now, why haven't I yet?<br />
24. Go for a bike ride in Leeds<br />
25. Go to an outdoor cinema<br />
26. Visit friend's from uni in their home town<br />
27. See Beyoncé live again - without paying more than £100 for a ticket<br />
28. Be more like Beyoncé!!?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-size: large;"><b><u>Creative Goals:</u></b></span><br />

31. Make some clothes with the patterns I bought<br />

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. Mine has been hectic, travelling to and from Leeds, home and Sheffield. I spent Christmas with my dad in Sheffield, which was lovely, although I had to go back to Leeds for work on Boxing day. Which to be honest wasn't such a bad shift 9.30pm - 5.30am, I got £15 in tips (yess), I took top take of the night and won a flatpack aeroplane which I conveniently left in Leeds. I had 2 glasses of Baileys at 5.30am, which was a perfect way to end the shift.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking of some 2014 goals which I will share with you once I have thought of a reasonable amount! One of them is to do a weekly post of pictures/things/quotes or whatever that have made me think 'wow, thats pretty dam cool'. David and I raided reddit last night (which is why the sources aren't great) but here's the outcome.<br />

This is from a blogger I found, Annika who writes <a href="http://www.pineneedlecollective.com/">The Pineneedle Collective</a> which is a Fashion, DIY and Science blog. Which I think is super cool. I actually tweeted her saying how much I enjoyed her blog and that me and David were going to try and make some DNA ourselves! She replied with 'If you manage to *MAKE* DNA you could probably get a Nobel prize - you can extract it, though ;)' ... I felt so silly! However I am going to attempt to extract some!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
'SkyCycle' this is just a proposal, I'm assuming, but I think this is a really cool idea. Following the train routes around London with an above cycle track. This would lower the carbon footprint of the UK by not using cars, trains and tubes getting in, out and around London. How futuristic does it look! However I honestly don't think this would happen, it would cost a hell of a lot and would 12,000 people per hour actually use it?</div>

Which means you can shop all your favourite brands in one place on the go now! The app has been available for about a couple of months, I downloaded it as soon as I fell in love with the website and since then I've seen drastic updates and changes to it, ready for the launch on Thursday.<br />
<br />
I love this app. It really is so simple to use and is basically the same as the website, just in an app form. The only big changes that differ from the website is the colour scheme, the app is pink based colours whereas the website is blue. Honestly, I prefer the app colours, I really like the pink colour scheme as it feels a lot warmer and cheerful, I'm not sure if that's just because its from a girls perspective. I wonder if the app changes colour scheme depending on your sex, I highly doubt it but it is an idea. To be honest, I like the idea of having the app different colours scheme to the website, it adds variety and it's nice to have a change every now and then - however I was taken back when I saw the update.<br />
<br />

<br />
Within my 'social media' folder on my phone, I definitely think the colour change is for the better as the majority of social media apps are the generic blue. I did get confused between the Shopcade and Skype app a good couple of times... they are VERY similar.<br />
Like most apps, the logo is very simple. The bold pink background with the Shopcade S stand out very well and it does look intriguing to click on.<br />
<br />

The opening page of the app is the trending page, this is where you get to see all the most popular products that thousands of shopcaders are wanting.<br />
The trending page also features specific Shopcade lists which are trending.<br />
My list was featured on the trending page a couple of weeks ago for my <a href="https://www.shopcade.com/charlotterendall/lists/52860cc24587195c210f5bc2/sssh-secret-santa-under-15">Shh! Secret Santa Under £15</a>, check it out for some great christmas gift ideas under £15!<br />

Your deal page is one to keep an eye on. Here you find all the deals and offers on the products you have wanted.<br />
You might see that pair of shoes you've wanted for ages in the sale!<br />
<br />
On the left, shows your profile. The header with your name and bio is locked. I can't decide if I like this concept or if it's just takes up too much of the page with the header, your username and the options to see your wants, lists and followers. Your profile page is the only page where the bottom taskbar is locked too which also limits what you can see on this page, you can only really see two rows at a time when viewing your lists and wants. That is really the only problem I have found with the app.<br />
<br />

When you click on a product, a screen like this will appear. The top states where the product is from and the top right icon makes it easy for you to share and tell the world what you want either via text, email and any other social media you have on your phone.<br />
By clicking on the photo of the product you can zoom in on the product and check it out close up, if you really like it, you can press want or add it to a list of your choice.<br />
Underneath the want buttons is a full description of the products and an option to comment and hashtag the product (which I've never done before). I really like the black taskbar at the bottom of the page as it tells you the price, where it's from and the buy button, this taskbar is locked to the screen so when you are scrolling on the product you can always see the price!<br />

A big congratulations to the winners, even Harry Styles won a cheeky award.<br />
For this weeks Shopcade List, I thought I would incorporate one of the biggest fashion event of the year and find affordable alternatives - for everyone who wants to look fabulous but can't afford the whopping price tag.<br />
The worst dress award definitely goes to Pixie Geldof. She wore a Topshop Slip Dress which would have looked fine if it was a size bigger. I'm more on the chubby side and I know what looks good on and what doesn't, it didn't help that she wore a fluorescent green soft toy bag. <br />

I just love all of these outfits. As a big lover of shirts, I obviously loved Poppy Delevingne's outfit, her Emilia Wickstead S/S14 shirtdress paired with her simple beige pointed heels, looks fab.<br />
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked incredible. I really like the wet look hair however I only think it would look acceptable at a red carpet event, which I haven't had the pleasure of attending as of yet... Her pale skin, red lips and red suit is so striking. Alexa Chung, as always looked simply stunning.<br />
<br />
I've raided the high street and found similar products which will look just as fabulous on us, especially with my student budget!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
For last nights meal we had<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b> Meatball Spaghetti Bolognese</b> </span>and it was absolutely delicious. We took a trip to the market on Tuesday and I bought a student £10 pack of meat, which included: mince, steak, burgers, sausages, chicken and bacon. If you have a market near you, or a butchers, I would highly recommend you to buy your meat from them, as you always get good value for your money and the meat always tastes fantastic.<br />

This semester has been hard to see each other with David being in his third year and i'm at uni and working). We decided instead of our usual wining and dining, we would save our money and cook instead. I really don't know why we don't always do this, we are both fairly good at cooking - we just love eating out, especially if you can get unlimited drinks...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Monday we went to <a href="http://handmadeburger.co.uk/">Handmade Burger Co.</a> as on Mondays they have 30% student discount and as a loyal customer I had a free burger to claim! We had a massive mare in there but it just shows that being a loyal customer gives you benefits (I will tell you about this over the weekend when I do my Gig Post). Monday night ended by going to see <a href="http://www.crystalfighters.com/">Crystal Fighters</a> at Leeds Uni union and it was absolutely fabby. If you've never heard of them, <a href="http://www.crystalfighters.com/">check them out</a> because they are such a happy, crazy and sparkly band and seeing them live just made me love them more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yesterday we had our <b><span style="color: #b4a7d6;">Chinese meal: Chicken Balls and Chow Mein Noodles. </span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
What you will need (serves two):<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2 chicken fillets</li>
<li>Half a packet of batter </li>
<li>An egg</li>
<li>Water</li>
<li>A pan full of oil</li>
<li>Onion(s) as many as you wish - we used 2 small onions</li>
<li>Spring onion(s) as many as you wish - we used 3 sticks of spring onion</li>
<li>A clove of garlic</li>
<li>Egg noodles (I used Sharwoods)</li>
<li>Chow Mein stir fry sauce (I used Blue Dragon)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>1.</b> Get the oil boiling in the pan </div>
<div>
<b>2.</b> Chop up the chicken fillets into pieces</div>
<div>
<b>3.</b> Make the batter mix. Add water and 1 egg - the batter mix pack has the instructions on the back. If you want to make your batter from scratch you can use <a href="https://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/recipes/low_fat/basic-pancake-batter.htm">this recipe</a> steps 1-5. We cheated a wee bit.</div>

<div>
<b>4. </b>Soak the chicken in the batter mix. Start to place a couple pieces of chicken at a time into the oil - once brown take out and place in a bowl with some kitchen roll to soak the fat up.</div>
<div>
<b>5.</b> Chop the onions, garlic and spring onions and fry in a wok.</div>
<div>
<b>6.</b> Boil the noodles in a pan for 3 minutes.</div>
<div>
<b>7.</b> Add the Chow Mein sauce to the onions.</div>
<div>
<b>8.</b> Once the noodles have boiled, add them to the wok with the onions and the sauce in and mix. </div>

This means that I have to send 2 lists each week to the Shopcade team with relevant themes or trends up and coming and all the best deals I can find!<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<a href="http://www.shopcade.com/">Shopcade</a> is an amazing app, I have <span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><i>fallen truly in love </i></span>with it. You can shop all your favourite brands in one place, create different lists (kind of like pinterest) and then shopcade will even let you know when a product you have 'wanted' has a deal on! Thats not all you can do, you can follow brands, your favourite Shopcaders, lists and even make your own shopcade page personal. Shopcade also have a points system, each time you 'want' a product you get a couple of points, each day you log in, if someone else 'wants' a product you have wanted, if someone follows you and if you invite someone to join. With all these points it boosts your trend score, which allows you to use your points to redeem free gifts and offers on selected items/brands. </div>
</div>
<div>
A genius idea.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought I should probably start sharing my lists with you each week, and see what you think! This week is <span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b>Pastel Blue</b></span>, I know we're not even in winter yet but this colour is going to be massive next year and here is a couple of items that I have selected.</div>
