Vixen luncheon!

Well today me and Sara and the babies met the wonderful and let's face it stone cold fox, that is Linz! (And of course miss Layla Rae! 


We all met up in our tiny town and had lunch! In the Yard (which is quite frankly fab!) 
It was delicious, and fun!



Sarah caught me selfieing! 

See guilty! 

 Then we mooched! 



Did someone say brooches? 
Here's my haul! The skirts handmade from the fantastic Lj's attic,  the 60s shades came from there too! 

Whoops how did that fab duck brooch get there *looks super shifty*

The ear plugs are from Linz she had a great company called Wyled Embers Pyroghraphy https://www.facebook.com/WyldeEmbers
The rattan bangle from a charity shop! Score x
 Great day!!!

The day I realised selfies were ok!

Take a look at this 
That's my face. We haven't always been friends if I'm honest, but today I realised something... that's my face and I quite like it! 
I was having a think as you do about the "selfie culture" and if at 30 I was too old and too much of a mum to enjoy taking pictures of my face, it's vain as fuck for a start! Then I realised...hey! my face, I like that shit! Here's another 
I realised in a society where we are conditioned to hate ourself as woman or let's face it "objects" it's not cool to admit you like taking photos of yourself 
           BUT I DO! I DO SO HARD! 
(disclaimer ) I also very much enjoy taking photos of my tea, my children and brooches. 

It's ok, it's ok to like my face and photograph it. I've realised I don't need to apologise or feel bad. And that's actually bloody liberating! A woman who likes her face! What next ? She may even like her imperfect body! The very thought. Well ya got me I've also decided my body's not on the bad side either (here it is in a totally inappropriate dress) 
That's right I'm a chubby 30 year old mum who gets drunk and takes photos of her self squeezed into stripywiggle dresses! And if you like that you should see what I get up to on a weekend 
 ðŸ˜‰ 
So in conclusion selfies are great! We should all take and share them and love them. Because at the end of the day that's what Instagram  was made for! That, and the occasional meme 😉
