These wickedly wonderful nail decals are from ClawedbyGrace. I thought I better share these quickly so that you can order them yourself before Halloween, although I’ll be using these all year round.
These are basically just transfers that you cut out, place on your nails, dab water onto the back of them and then slide the back off, just like the old fake tattoos. It’s always a good idea to glide a top coat over to make them last.
Right, I’m off to have a look at which colours of polish I have…
One of my fave series as a teen as they were short enough to hold my shockingly short attention span.
‘Delia can’t stop reading the old diary which mysteriously appears in her locker one day. Little by little, she starts to become more like the girl whose words she reads – even having her memories and seeing the world through her eyes. A dead girl’s eyes. Soon Delia is convinced that she was the girl who wrote the diary – in a past life.’ – Goodreads
But the terror is about to come alive once more. For the girl who wrote the diary was murdered.
The Diary by Sinclair Smith has a mild fantasy-horror vibe. It’s fairly predictable but in an enjoyable way and has a few good twists near the end, which I didn’t see coming.
I love sushi but was finding it hard to get interesting, vegetarian sushi etc. delivered to East-Central Manchester, until I found Honi Sushi on Deliveroo. They are a London sushi restaurant who have now branched out, up North.
My Order
Sea Salted Edamame (they come in the pods so you bite the ends off and squeeze out the beans, a nice thing to occupy yourself with when watching trashy TV), with Spicy Sauce (one little taste made my whole head feel like a volcano!)
Avocado Roll x6
Vegetable Special Roll x 5
Strawberry Cheesecake Mochi (little, squishy balls of heaven)
This is the freshest and most creative veggie sushi I’ve eaten for a long time!
Honi Sushi has had 15% off its entire menu for a while now, which I’m glad about as I hate paying restaurant prices for takeaway (when there is also a minimum order price and delivery charge).

I also recommend Sake, 4 Ashton Rd, Droylesden, Mcr
I would love to say that I have the skill, and let’s face it, patience to create something as rad a these two but they were bought from Evrika Apparelover on Etsy.
You can choose what pattern and colour combo you want but as they are hand tyedyed to order, they will come out slightly different, making each one totally unique!
The tees themselves are fairly soft and great quality, so I think I’ll still be wearing these when I’m a grungy granny, zooming around on my mobility scooter lol
Not sure why my iPad camera has made the one on the left appear more green, when it’s really blue 😆
I’d love to know if you have tried tyedye yourself and the results?
Even if you have a vegetarian, gluten-free and/or dairy-free diet (mine is for ethical and food intolerance reasons), there are still so many things you can eat! So I thought I’d share my tiny fridge and stupidly large cupboard with you.
Top (left to right) Nairn’s Whole Grain (gf) Crackers, Momasa Lemon and Peppercorn tortilla chips, Biona Fruit Bears, Kind Dark Choc, Nuts & Sea Salt, Pulsin Brownie Peanut & Choc Chip.
Middle Asda Sesame Oil, Felippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Wicked Kitchen Garlic and Herb Nooch (nutritional yeast which gives things a cheesy taste like mild Parmesan), Nice and Easy Cheese Flavour Sauce Mix, Amy’s Kitchen Tomato Soup, Amy’s Kitchen Lentil Soup, Amoy Rice Noodles.
Bottom Kikkoman Gluten Free Soy Sauce, Le Conserve Detla Nonna Green (vegan) Pesto, Nice and Easy Chickpea and Vegetable Curry, Garlic cloves (I prefer garlic purée in a tube lol), Tilda Microwave Mushroom Rice, Morrison’s Hot Paprika, Ground Black Pepper.
Middle shelf Olives, bananas (no idea ?!), more beer, guacamole, humus, halloumi (the blokes), Vivera kebab strips.
Bottom shelf Always some kind of energy drink, cranberry and apple sauce, jars of antipasti, spring onions, bell (sweet) pepper.
In the door Fresh orange and mango juice, eye gel (so cooling!), Mayo, sriracha, chilli oil.
Nearly every item here was bought from either Asda, Morrison’s or Tesco but the dairy free guacamole was from Ocado (as I don’t have the time and energy to make it myself).
I hope this post helps to make any transitions in your diet and/or lifestyle a little easier!
Every now and then I fancy a change from soft grunge/goth and crave some colour so I bought this gorgeous maxi from Shiva Moon on Etsy. They sell handmade, individual dresses and are lovely, helpful people.
As the weather gets cooler I’m going to style this with my trusty mini black cape/shrug and black cage-toe sandals with black socks or tights.
I’m 5’8 and the hem is just below ankle length so they are perfect for us tall girls that are used to dealing with odd/unflattering skirt lengths.
Jewellery is a mish-mash of festival and charity shop finds and presents.
