Forever Friends...

Recently I’ve been thinking so much about my wonderful buddies back at home, that I thought I would dedicate my next post to them, they all know who they are – too many girlies to name!

We’ve always been pretty close me and my friends and have known each other since day dot. We know everything about each other and most of all we were and still are always there for each other.

I’ll never forget the day when we all started going our separate ways…you girls know what I mean: when boys start coming into the picture, everyone starts having their own independent social life with the ‘current’ boyfriend and work (jobs and school) starts taking over, you don’t have time to meet up as often anymore. At first I was upset when you arrange to meet up with one of your other half’s to find that they have ditched you for the latest squeeze. It did take me some time to get over this, but hey, it’s all part of growing up and all that jazz..

..The thing I love about being so independent these days is that no matter how long it’s been before you see your best bud you always click straight away. There’s no awkwardness. Just pure friendship!

It makes me giggly when we’re together in our own little world, we really don’t care! It’s as if we’re talking a different language that the people around us just don’t understand! That, I love.

I’d love to go back in time and see the what we got up to, all the ‘bitchy drama’s’ we had going on in our lives at that time. It would be awesome (minus the dodgy hair cuts and school uniform..)

What I basically want to say is that, who are we if we don’t have our friends in our life? It makes me think that if they weren’t in my life I wouldn’t be half the person that I am today and it’s all thanks to them. My friends are fantastic people and couldn’t have met a nicer (sometimes crazier) bunch if I tried!

Much Love Franky,

Scientiam Dulce Hauriens...

Sweetly Absorbing Knowledge...

Some of my friends back home decided not to go to University and have got a decent full time job. I hate this. Every time I go back home (which is most weekends!) I envy their steady income and private banter with other non-university friends.

A lot of people that know me will be aware that I am true home bird – and this had very much increased over the past 6 months. I don’t know what it is, but I love going home!

Don’t get me wrong I love being at University, It’s changed me so much as a person and the people here are fantastic. I guess I have the home-sickness bug. I can’t wait for the day I graduate – starting employment, earning a steady income like my fellow friends and having an incredible career I’ll be passionate about.

I know my degree is well worth it, it’s definitely the sector I’ll be working in when I graduate. As many people have told me in the past, it’s not just the degree that matters it’s the whole university experience. If anyone reading this is contemplating going to university I highly recommend it, it’s changed my life on so many different levels.

But for now, I just wanted to say to anyone out there that no matter how tough things are at times keep going, do yourself proud and you will feel so much better after it’s all over – I know I will.

Thanks,

Franky.

Herbal Essences isn't so "Fruity" after all...

I have been a fan of the Herbal Essences products for many years now and I was infuriated to recently find out that the company does in fact practise animal testing on their products.

This (and I'm sure it would with you) shocked me. I was inclined and felt that I should find out more, (being a caring owner of many pet Rabbits and other small fluffy creatures as a child.)

I was shocked to discover that many creatures such as; Rabbits, Rats, Gerbils, Guinea Pigs etc are being used as, well, Guinea Pigs to cover the company’s backs.

It really does go to show that the slightest negative media attention can affect a massive company such as Proctor and Gamble. My 'discovery' has completely changed the way I look at Herbal Essences. I do hope that this negative media attention affects their company and a member from the Herbal Essences Communications department will take the time to look over this.

In the future it will make me think twice about purchasing the “Fruit Fusions" shampoo off the shelf.

When I take a whiff of the “Fruit Fusions” I don’t smell the as – advertised Banana and Eucalyptus; I smell poor Bug’s Bunny’s fear.

As this is my first blog please feel free to leave any comments and tips!

Thanks,

Franky.
