Somehow I decided that making my first bloggy video would be a good way to announce the winner of the nameplate necklace competition despite being a terrible actress, having no idea how to edit video, and never having made one before. Once I got started though I was determined to finish.
So here it is, atmospheric feedback and all. Please go easy on me.
Just as I finished recording the courier came with a package for me from Pakistan. It was all wrapped in cloth and I was a bit scared of it till I remembered my glasses were coming from Pakistan!
They are amazing for $26 NZD delivered! The right eye feels slightly blurred My ears are wonky so the right eye doesn’t line up properly all the time and is a teensy bit less clear, but I can still see great in them, they look cool and they even came with a hard case and cloth. Woop, will definitely be buying glasses online again.
Now I’m off to see Harry Potter. :D
O and please don’t name the winner in the comments so it’s a surprise.
I wanted to include this advert in yesterday’s Pick N Mix but couldn’t find it online anywhere. It has shown up on NZ TV recently after big changes made by one of our major chocolate manufacturers. Cadbury has moved production to Australia, reduced the size of their blocks of chocolate, reduced the amount of cocoa solids in the chocolate and added palm oil to their recipe (which not only negatively affects the taste of the chocolate but also contributes to deforestation in Indonesia).
Whittakers’ is taking a well deserved dig at them here. I think without even trying Whittakers’ has just taken a large chunk of Cadbury’s consumer base, Cadbury basically handed it to them on a platter.
This video is beautiful, and thought provoking. If you don’t talk to your child at a young age about being comfortable with the way they look then the magazines, TV shows, movies, books they see and people they talk to are going to influence them first. You may have become accustomed to it like me. But this video by Dove made me take note of all the stupid crap I see everyday that makes me feel like I’m not good enough. The beauty industry is HUGE!
New old music from My Chemical Romance. This is a cover of Bob Dylan’s Desolation Row, done in a punky style for the movie Watchmen coming out in March. I’m just excited to hear them do something new after over 2 years since their last studio release.
