Thunderbolts and lightning…. very very frightning!

So… in my last blog I mentioned that I was being taken away on a surprise trip – turns out I had a surprise when I got there too…. my boyfriend asked me to marry him! We’ve been together for 9 years so, naturally I said YES!

I won’t go in to too much detail as I don’t want to bore anyone but we went to Lake Garda, Italy which was so beautiful and spent the days on boats up and down the lake (which is pretty massive… it looks like the sea up close) and eating tonnes of gorgeous pasta and pizza and drinking prosecco and red wine. It was completely idyllic and getting engaged at the top of this clock tower was one of the best moments of my life J Sorry to gross you out… gush gush!

On our last night, we went to an Opera in Verona which was in an old open-air Amphitheatre and built in the first century AD. It was a stunning setting and we were so looking forward to the opera until a huge black cloud came over the top like a ceiling and whooshed a load of rain all over us, we got soaked… it was like the scene out of a disaster movie, everyone was screaming and running to get out of the torrential rain and lightning – it was the worst storm we’d ever been in. They tried to carry on with the show but each time just a drop of rain came down, the orchestra ran off to protect their instruments – this happened 4 times and in the end, my “fiancé” and I had given up and went to get some pizza! It was a really memorable experience though, totally scary and a bit rubbish that we didn’t actually see much opera but really fun!

We got home to a surprise party at his mum’s house where all of our families were – it was a pretty good weekend! It’s worth mentioning that I tried to be a bit thematic, given my new status, with my plane outfit and wore this fab skirt with hearts on it from River Island…. They have SO much cool stuff in there at the moment and their prices seem to be more reasonable than recent years…. Well done River Island!

I’m about to embark on Challenge 4 which is to visit my nearest Superdrug store and report back on my experience, after spending a very kind £20 pound voucher… so watch this space.

TTFN :)

The four non blondes

It was very interesting receiving this weeks challenge…..brunettes versus blondes (who really does have the most fun) as I recently read a survey on the subject.  The results were very interesting.

1) Blondes may have more fun  -  but it comes at a price. Men don’t trust them.

2) A study found that while fair-haired women are considered to be the most adventurous in bed, brunettes are seen as more reliable in a relationship … and more sexy.

3) In a poll of 1,500 men, more than 60 per cent thought dark-haired girls were the most trustworthy and loyal, compared with just 14 per cent of blondes.

4) The result is men feel brunettes make the best wives.

As a brunette, I can definitely say I’ve had my fair share of fun! I can’t remember any rivalry with Blondes, and never ever wished to be blonde.  I love my hair, it really is my crown and glory. There are so many stereotypical perceptions of blondes, blonde jokes, lack of intelligence etc, so I thought it was only fair I put this to the test myself, and conduct my own research…in Edinburgh!

Me and my girlfriends, Bal, Sang and Narry all brunettes I hasten to add were on our latest SATC jaunt, all armed with this weeks task…to find out whether men think Blondes or Brunettes have more fun!  We also wanted to know their favourite Brunette!

We started off early…and the first chap I cornered was at the security guy at Birmingham Airport.  He said definitely brunettes, and his fave was Kim Kardashian (which he said I resembled…creep!)

In Edinburgh we hung out in the Royal Mile, and the first bunch of lads we spoke to, were on a stag weekend.  No surprise here…but the consensus was blondes, however they kept saying that they would end up with a brunette, there were some other comments (unfortunately its not printable!)

One thing I certainly noticed, this research was a real ice breaker…I couldn’t believe how many men loved being part of the survey.  I wondered, as there was four hot chicks asking the questions…whether that really had any bearings on the end result…?

The results at the end of the night were not surprising…BRUNETTES definitely have MORE fun…well at least the men of Edinburgh seem to think so!

Poll Results:

Brunettes 57%

Blondes 38%

Red Heads 2%

Ginger 1% (erm…)

Bold 1% (why?)

Grey 1% (interesting…gives me hope for 20 years time!)

Top Brunettes in no order were:

Kim Kardashian (someone said I resembled)

Angelina Jolie

Kristin Steward

Cheryl Cole (although someone mentioned they think she looks like a lollipop)

Kelly Brooke

Katy Perry

Lilly Allen

Freido Pinto

Beyonce

Fergie

Megan Fox
