Spring has officially come. Bin your clothes.
Well maybe not bin... but there's a lot of rubbish you can get rid of....
Having lots of clothes you don't wear folded up in your drawer isn't going to make you feel fabulous... have a wardrobe full of clothes that your'll actually wear, that are current, in good condition and that SUIT YOUR BODY SHAPE (revelation) now that's where it's at!
BIN THE RUBBISH
Sell, swap and customise the rest!
I did just that last night! Got rid of two bin bags worth of clothes... and found some older pieces that deserves a revival...
This is part of my wardrobe now.... there's never a reason to look busted.
Every day is a catwalk....!
This is FUN:
You can find your body shape and clothes to suit your body shape as well.. If this doesn't do it for you... just google please...!

BARUCH WEBSITE!!!!
BARUCH!!!!!
I'm so excited about this!
I love this brand so much I actually asked to model some of Angela's goods once upon a time....
Hmmmm anyway.... back to the website!!
It's one to keep an eye out for and definitely try to cop something from the sample, I've already made my requests!
What I love about this brand is that it's roots are in West African culture but in a high fashion, somewhat couture way.... I always say if you're gonna do it DO IT!!
Statement clothing!
This is the designer who created my 21st birthday dress.... I said what I liked and left her too it.... AMAZING!!
Some of her earlier work which attracted great PRESS including Vogue, Look and Pride Magazines!
Now it's your turn! Get involved!!

WICKED BRIEF REVIEW
I had the pleasure of being taken to see Wicked the other day, (a nice little surprise, I thought we were going to see Oz in the cinema!).
WOW
WOW
WOW
WOW
Absolutely incredible... Absolutely faultless.. and as a mystery lover I loved the fact that it was a prequel to the original OZ films... Nothing like a good FEW twists in the story.
These women could sing...
One of the highlights of the night was when the German guy next to me was taking pictures and the usher came almost immediately and made him delete them off his phone there and then.... Military force in that theatre.. you've been warned...
As I've been hiding from performing I've been hiding from the theatre.... but it has re awoken my love.. and as you may have seen in my 'The blogger' page.. This is the year I balance my MA, my business and revive my performing career.
We must never regret we when we could have just gone for it.
See Wicked.
Pursue your dreams.
No regrets... Lots of lessons!!
Women should be able to cook?
Have I just been left in the dark ages or is it still OK for me to be passionate about women being able to cook?
Nothing makes me happier than to cook for my family and friends... Yesterday I threw down some ribs, prawn fritters salad and hand made chips... Yum!!
Oreo CupCakes
Updating the website.... behind the scenes picture lol...
Something very exciting is on the horizon... DONT WASTE TIME!!

Standing Tall!
Day Heels, Night Heels and Heels!!
Get them out ladies it's not just for the shorties, there for EVERYONE!!
I wear them most days, turning most heads as I'm already 5"8 but it makes me feel just that little bit more special!
Here are some certified examples:
(Inspired by watching the Matrix on TV last week, I now go by the name INFINITY)
(Red EVERYTHING is in, work that hot dress or two pieces suit, it's needed!)
(Managed to cop the last size 6 in the shop lol in BLUE. I had to... my trainers need some heels too!!)

Post lent blogging!
After a refreshing 6-8weeks of no social networking, reflecting, meditating, praying and planning; I'm back with a new energy!
It's so important to give yourself breaks, recollect, refocus and then continue because as great as social networking might be, it's so much more fruitful to do the work than write about doing the work #word
This was me.. only I'm not sure she's talking to Jesus. I was lol.

Ireland day 3: My home, cakes, beach and family
Had some carrot cake for dinner (that's lunch over here)..... I didn't finish it... Unfortunately a 2/10 :-(
Soooooo! (To make up for someone else's baking tragedy) I made some wee cupcakes for my family, namely my wee cousin.. Pirates and princesses! Lemon flavoured, tangy, sweet and delicious... Granny is a dedicated fan lol!
We went for a walk in Newcastle... So peaceful by the sea. I really believe that no matter how much we try to elevate ourselves, build our own empires and prove our superiority, the earth will always be able to prove God's superiority over us...

Ireland: day 2 Politics, History, Cake and Custard
My Protestant family living in a Catholic area... My British family living in an area with unsettled republicans...
My grandad said the McCombs (family name) started with a man who came over, built his house on a hill which was attacked by Catholics. He went down to the priest and told him, if they come back he'll shoot them all. So I did some research.. Turns out that the first McComb came over in 1607 from Scotland for the Ulster Plantation. Another record says a Mr McComb led a mob attack against a Chapel and then later went mad. Perhaps part two to my grandaddy's tale....?
Amazing chapel in my town...
My second cousin started a business with a chip van then opened a chip shop! After 15years of business he opened AJ's Diner, a successful diner is Crossgar which us in it's 10th year of successful business. I've never been there and it's had less than 60% of the tables full... An inspiration and a lesson for the future journey of my business and other endeavours. My 70-something yr old great aunt still works there (at her insistence) though she is well looked after and wants for nothing... Hard work, perseverance and family commitment seem to be the lesson for today.
If you ate with me you'd realise that it runs the family to serve more food than is necessary... You may also notice the Cake and Custard... My grandma taught my mum to bake and my mum taught me...
The food was incredible, generous and there are some clear reflections of this service in CakeGirl. It runs in the blood, seemingly...
