Please enjoy these photos of me and my friends out. We had matching boots on and were living our best lives. I thought these photos were really cute and wanted to share them.

OOTN: LBD and Knee High Boots
I went on a night out with my friends and it was decided that the dress code was knee-high boots. We were channeling Ariana Grande and living our best lives. I really loved my outfit so I thought I would share.
I also don’t own a full-length mirror so these are taken in a Wetherspoons’ toilets lol.
I’ve never owned a pair of boots before but I’ve always wanted a pair and this seemed like a good excuse as any to finally get them. I really love how they look and it was also my first time wearing fishnets out so I was feeling my full gothic fantasy.
On top of that, I also decided to put on a bold lip. I have never been one to wear weird colours of lipsticks but for Christmas my boyfriend got me a mini set of Jeffree Star liquid lipsticks and so I had to use them. I chose the blue one in the colour, blue velvet.
The place we went to that night were also doing face paint so naturally, we had to get some and I really loved how the girl matched mine to my lipstick. So also enjoy a few glam makeup pics.
I don’t wear makeup that often but I always enjoy when I get to wear it out, so expect to see some more makeup looks in the future (hopefully). 🙂

My First Erin Condren Planner!
After debating it for a while I decided to treat myself and get an Erin Condren planner!
I have wanted one of these ever since I first found the planning community on YouTube. But the price of them has always put me off. It’s expensive, and was I really going to use it once I got it?
That’s why for my first planner I decided to go a bit smaller and cheaper – a Kikki K planner. I found inserts that had the same size boxes as the Erin Condren so I could still buy stickers and used it as a trial run.
In the end, I actually really enjoyed using my Kikki K planner, it was super cute and it was great to keep track of things. And once I found that the inserts were running out, I did think about just buying more – but before I looked for new inserts I visited the Erin Condren site.
The fact that they were having a sale and I got my planner for half the price sealed the deal. It made up for the fact I did have to pay shipping costs (which is gross, because who likes to pay for shipping?). But aside from that, I was super excited to get my planner!
I have been using the planner for about a week now and it’s been fabulous before in my Kikki K I feel like I didn’t have enough space to always write things down but with the Erin Condren I have more than enough space. It also came with a ziplock bag and an inner pouch which is great for storing my stickers.
Of course, I would love to get stuck in making full sticker spreads and things like that now that I have the right planner for it but I still can’t justify the price of sticker kits. Sure it’s one thing to splash out money on a fancy planner that will last a year, but to spend £10 a week on a sheet of stickers that will be used in minutes? Eh…not so sure.
So I will stick with mostly writing things done but adding a sticker or two to make it slightly more decorative. But that being said I could very easily go sticker crazy lol I guess we see what happens over time.
But I’m really glad that I made the choice to get one so I could experience having one otherwise, I guess I would have wondered what it would be like. So now I have the experience I can decide if I want to continue with this planner or use another one in the future.
The price is definitely one of those things that is throwing me off ever buying another one. But they are so pretty and I think that the layout and quality are great, but the shipping costs are just too much. Like you have to pay $55 for the planner to begin with, so adding on the other costs it’s definitely way too much…but you can get them on Amazon, which I don’t know if you still have to pay customs but at least it would shave off the shipping price. Though they definitely don’t have the same range as the original website. So…yeah I guess I will have to decide if this is the planner I want to continue to use. But I have most of a year to think about it in the meantime, I think I will enjoy the planner as it is.
If you want to see my full unboxing and comparing it to my previous planner, a Kikki K filofax planner then check out the video below:

My Pole Family!
After trying to organise the night out for weeks, we finally got a night when we were all free!
This is my pole family, aka the people I have been taking pole dancing with for the past year. We have never hung out outside the pole studio together before so it was really exciting to see everyone fully clothed lol.
It took me the longest time to learn everyone’s name in pole class. It’s partly because when you first go to a class you don’t really talk to anyone but then as the weeks go on, you start giving each other looks when the teacher wants you to do crazy tricks that you know you can’t do. You also start showing off your bruises and complaining to one another when a trick you’ve done burns lol.
But after a year together, we’ve learned the names and we’ve spent a good amount of time together. So when it came to the night out it was really comfortable and conversation flowed nicely.
It turned out to be a really fun night with lots of laughs so I definitely hope that we get to do it again! At least we always get to spend time together in class 😛

Life Update and Jeffree Star Mystery Box Unboxing!
It’s been a while since I made a vlog so here’s a little life update and also an unboxing of my Jeffree Star mystery box! 🙂
Meeting Miz Cracker! | 25th January 2019
My first drag show of 2019! Miz Cracker!
I was excited about this show because after seeing Miz Cracker on Drag Race I felt like she had so much more to offer the world. And girl, she did.
In her show It’s Time, she shares a story of going through many rough stages in her life and sharing that she doesn’t really know when it’s time to STOP. Stop with the alcohol, stop with the drugs and stop with the boys.
An inspirational story really.
It was a great show, and I think what really impressed me the most, was how amazing a lipsync she could do with such a small space. The venue does not have a big stage, but Miz Cracker was still able to kick, flip and give us those utmost important death drops.
I loved it so much and if you have the chance to see her I would highly recommend.
I also treated myself to VIP which means I got to have a meet and greet with Miz Cracker which you can see below. I always feel awkward in meet and greets because I never know what to say to the person, but sometimes it goes so fast that you don’t really get to say much.
In this case, it did seem to go quite quickly but I’m not too worried about that. The photo still looked great and she complimented the handbag I had with me so I will take that as a successful meet and greet 😛
My next show is coming up soon in February – I am finally going to see All Stars 2 winner Alaska! And I can’t wait! I didn’t get meet and greet unfortunately but I already know it’ll still be a great show ^_^
Looking forward to sharing more of my drag queen adventures with you soon,

Rejoining Neopets
I’ve had Neopets accounts on and off since 2009 – and I always consider going back every few years, it’s just a simple online thing that can be a way to have fun, and it also brings back memories of my first experiences on the Internet.
So I’m back again. This time, I hope I stay longer than a few days though.
I don’t know what this will accomplish in my life to be honest, but I guess I just miss having a virtual pet. You know, I grew up with more Tamagotchis than I can count, and you bet I loved my Nintendogs the mostest.
I guess I just want to get part of my childhood back lol.
So if you want to add me on Neopets my username is coco_cutie1997 – an homage to my OG username which was coco_cutie2009 (I can’t get the account back because I deactivated it in 2010).
This is my neopet – her name is IceQueen_xo – I feel like they must be running out of usernames and stuff at this rate no? Either way, I hope me and IceQueen_xo will have some great adventures together.
And we will see if I enjoy the nostalgia and keep playing or if I will get bored and give it up once more lol.

My Pole Anniversary!
This day last year was the day that I went to a pole dancing class for the first time. I was with my friend and we were both nervous, but it was something we had always wanted to do so we decided to take the chance and go for a taster class.
After that one class, I was hooked, it was super fun and everyone was really supportive and so I kept going back.
Flash forward to now and I am more than ready to start another year of pole. I think it’s crazy the amount of progress I have been able to make in just a year. When I started, I felt like I would never be able to do any of those crazy spins/moves I had seen my teacher do countless times between classes. But slowly I have been making progress and getting stronger and I think today it really shows.
The video above was taken today, and honestly, if you had told me last year that I would be able to do something like that? I probably would have laughed you out of the room. So I’m really proud of all the progress that I’ve made and I can’t wait to see how far along I get this year!
I’ve been sharing weekly progress updates on my Twitter for the past year, and I think I might start taking to my blog to post more in-depth updates depending on the week, so definitely look out for more pole posts in the future!
