Freckles And Thoughts: 2014

Pitch Black

Hi Guys

Sorry I’ve not done a post for a while, I’ve been really busy...

Because of that I have rather a special post for you wonderful bunch today… I am a writer, I have always been a writer and at the moment I am working on a longerthanmynormallength story. I am on page 6 (A4 size) and I wanted to share the first two paragraphs with you and see what you think. If you like it I might consider posting more, you never know! Right now it has only been read by a few relatives and some very close friends so putting it on the internet is a big thing for me…

THIS IS 100% MY OWN WORK!! J

I hope you like it, comment your thoughts below. Please don’t just hate – if you have an improvement or something you don’t like post it as CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISICM if not I don’t want to hear it. J

Thanks for reading ly all and I hope you enjoy it! J xx

Pitch black

I woke up to a quiet so loud it was deafening. There were no cars. There were no planes. There was nothing. Just quiet. My toes touched the delicate rug by my bed as my legs took me over to the window. Blankets of crystal snow covered the world. I could hear nothing. Yet I could see noise. Small children yelling as they flew down our road on sledges. Friends laughing and pushing each other into mounds of white. People talking and shouting and yelling and whispering and singing everywhere. Except in my ears. Fear began creeping into my brain. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out. People still came running. My family. Running to answer my scream. Talking. Asking if I was okay. Obviously I was not. I saw both my parents scream ‘Sophie’ but I couldn’t hear them. Nothing made sense. Not the deafening silence where sound should be. Not the anxious faces looking down at me. Not even the fact that as I screamed for help people answered. Especially not that fact that this was only happening to me.

The sound of nothing is worse than even a child's scream. The emptiness of everything, especially when you know you should be hearing sound. When it feels as though a blanket has been wrapped around your head. When you feel like you are underwater. When you're drowning in a deafness so absolute nothing can pierce it. When you realise you might never hear again. When you realise this. You feel like your life is over. Like there is nothing worse. And for a musician like me. There probably isn't.

Lush 'collection'

I titled this collection because I didn't really know what else to call it but it isn't really a very big collection.

I love Lush but i can no longer have the bath bombs *cries* I used a Dragons egg bath bomb last night (my favourite!)and got a slight allergic reaction - basically I had a rash :(

I still have quite a few bath bombs that havn't been used so I decided to post them on my blog. These'll all have to go to my little sister now unfortunately...

This is the Mini Comforter Bubble Bar

'Wraps you in a fluffy pink blanket of blackberry bubbles to keep you safe and warm'

This is the Sakura Bath Bomb

'This is a celebration of spring in a bath bomb, bursting into a floral fragrance. Inspired by the cherry blossom in Japan, this pretty bomb is designed to evoke the burst of optimism the first sign of spring brings. We've used calming mimosa and jasmine oils complemented by lemon oil and orange flower to bring to mind the smell of this colourful season.'

I am gutted I won't get to use this one as I had been saving it for a pamper evening because it looked so nice...

This is the Think Pink Bath Ballistic

'Bathe in sweet, fragrant pinkness with an explosion of confetti hearts'

This is the Creamy Candy Bath Bubble Bar

'Crumble for mountains of sweet vanilla bubbles. With almond oil and cocoa butter to really soften you and keep your bath water creamy.'

This is the Dragons Egg Bath Bomb

'Dragon’s Egg makes bath time exciting as it fizzes and crackles and changes the colour of your water to a gorgeous citrusy gold. Its scent is reminiscent of lemon sherbet, with a hint of jasmine, leaving you feeling great and ready for a good day. Its citrus scents leave you feeling transformed and invigorated.'

As this is the only one here that I have used I can confirm that it does everything it says. The smell is exactly like sherbet lemons which is a really nice pamper evening scent. This is my favourite bath bomb out of all the ones I've tried.

Thanks for reading ily all xx
