Sunday Update #1

I know what you're all thinking whilst reading this; who are you and where have you been?! Well I've been buried under books, InDesign and photo shoots and haven't had much time for myself.  I have about two week left of my second year at uni (excluding the upcoming Easter break and work experience) and it goes without saying that these past few weeks have been hectic.  We are in the process of putting a whole magazine together plus we also have an essay due Thursday (which I'm nearly half way through - thank God).  Once this all blows over, which should be after this week (fingers crossed) I can resume my normal position of talking about make up and clothes on the blog!

In other news, I went to see The Hunger Games on Friday with a couple of my good friends and it was brilliant.  Obviously, it would never surpass the book but they did a ruddy good job of it.  To celebrate it's release, a few of my favourite YouTubers got together and made an original song and music video called 'Arena' (see below) which was also a good interpretation of the Games scene.  Have you been to see the film yet?

I've finally received my full size Make Up Forever Smoky Lash mascara and I intend to do a full review soon.  Other than that, I have been either at uni, at Tesco or working on university projects.

Follow me on Twitter for general chit chat (and a few moans about this essay...) and I promise to be back on blogging form soon!

Until we meet again...

An update, of sorts.

I wanted to update you all, so you didn't think I was neglecting this blog entirely.  For the past 12 or so weeks, as well as working at Push PR, I've also been planning away in my little head a completely new looking blog and have started to put it into motion (although you can't see much of a change right now).

As part of a new look blog, the layout will be completely different, including the header which is being designed by a fantastic illustrator who is set for big things.  The new look Non Optional is set to launch in September which will also be our 1st Birthday!  All exciting things are coming and I hope you'll enjoy the new site when it's launched.  

To keep up to date with what's happening with the new look blog, like Non Optional on Facebook by clicking here.  I will be updating with sneak peaks of everything from the new blog header, to the layout.  

Normal blogging resumes as of now!
