Black Friday Madness!

I've heard about Black Friday for many years. I've always said that I want to go to one, but after seeing the madness that's happening over here in the UK with it, I don't like the idea so much any more.
People going crazy for a TV that gets some money knocked off, or games consoles for that £50 cheaper.

Why are people going crazy for it?

Why are us Brits getting sucked into so many Americanised traditions? Admittedly I've always wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving, and do many of the American "holidays" but when it all comes down to it; I like the British versions of our holidays. Although yes, we have Bank Holidays and all, but Black Friday?

Amazon, have been doing week long deals in preparation for Black Friday and I have been one of the suckers that fell for it. But I'm a student. I still have to get Christmas presents too! But I have been shopping around more than I possibly did last year.

I've already gone through the sales at Toys r us, waaay back before all of this.
I bought my Christmas wrapping paper at the 99p store.
I've stocked up on deals from Amazon.
I've even bulk bought stuff from Ebay as well!

I think most "normal" people forget their dignity when they rush into supermarkets like Tesco, and Asda, forgetting that these deals, WILL ALWAYS come back round after Christmas and in the new year as well. They always do deals throughout the year as well to get rid of stock!
But this whole violence to grab a TV or a PS4 is ridiculous. Pushing older ladies or men to grab the item they're holding is pathetic.
You wouldn't do that on a normal shopping day, so why would you do it any other day?

So please England. Pick up your dignity from the floor, and show some respect. It doesn't matter if you don't get that item for £50 cheaper. Shop around and you would anyway!


Freckles Rock!

Most of my life I have hated the fact that I have freckles. But I have now grown to love them.
Yes, during the summer when my face catches a lot of sun, my freckles decide that its time to come out and play.
Admittedly they are a pain, especially if I'm going out and I want to wear foundation, my freckles still come through and I just think to myself why do I bother.

I love my freckles. I love people who have freckles. It's the one thing that some people have, and some people don't. It's the smallest imperfections that make us perfect in our own unique way.

If you have freckles and you hate them; don't. They are what makes your face stand out in the crowd. Even if you want to hide them, you know you can't. They are a part of you, and remember; people will love you for being you. Freckles and all!

What I'm watching

I have been watching far too much on Netflix. I have been trying to work on my dissertation and my final projects for university. 
So any time I haven't been working on university projects or even working at my job, I have been trying to get some down time for myself, as one, you don't want to stress yourself out at a time like this, and two, you need to have breaks every so often from the stresses of everyday life!

My top watches for my netflix are:

American Horror Story,
House
Tangled
Breaking Bad
& Skint

But as I share my Netflix account with my housemates, they watch some random stuff on my profile, and I end up losing track of what I have been watching. Although they all have their own profiles on my account, they still somehow use mine and I then get random suggestions, from stuff they have watched. I do question what they have been watching.

So according to my Netflix recently watched list:
The Office
Gossip Girl
Fresh meat 
The Inbetweeners
Luther
Dexter
You Dont mess with the Zohan
Zoolander.

I approve of 2 on the latest list; Luther and Dexter.

 Cheers guys.
