Still pissed off over the quality of my photos lately..

So, today was an amazing day it was like a Summers day! I was in the city with my mom and Rian and picked up a few things in Penneys:

2 tshirts, bows and a glow in the dark iphone case.. Cause I am always loosing my phone in my bed at night! haha! The disney tshirt with the mickey mouse hands making a love heart symbol, I love!! Its an image I have in my tattoo idea file.. :P 

Speaking of which!!!... I booked my next tattoo today, for early next week.. I think I'm addicted? Oohh well! :)

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST YOUNG MOTHER!

43 houses out of 800approx on daft accept rent allowance. 

That's 5%. 

95% of houses up for rent will not accept rent allowance. 

Rent allowance is a payment from the government given to, and only to, people means tested. 

People with basically no income or enough savings. 

Not everyone on the dole will get rent allowance.. Far from it. 

Hmph. I'm so pissed off right now..
So lately I have been thinking more about moving out of home.. For many reasons.. Like my mother driving me mad.. And the fact I just need to get on with my life in general! But it's not that easy!! Obviously I cant afford rent by myself.. No way could I.. I would be left with about 200euro a month to live on.. with a baby.. Dont think so!! So, because of this, I would be on rent allowance.. An allowance I'm intitled to from the government to help out with my rent costs! I think they pay about 2/3 of the cost! depends on your situation, how many children you have etc... BUT.. Nearly every house up for rent has ''no rent allowance'' just casually thrown in at the end.. All except for the nearly inhabitable few.. Yock..
I mean, I'm not a slob? I'm a tidy person. I'm polite and quiet and respectful of where I live.. It's how I was brought up. You would still get your money at the end of each month? What's the big problem?
Just because I dont have much money? People with money can be awful too.. People with money arnt any better at living in your house than I am?
I dont get it. It's discrimination and it shouldnt matter how you get your rent money, you should just take it.
I'm a single mother with a very quiet, pleasant baby in a small town.. I'm not a single mother with 5 unruley, disrespectful children and 5 different varieties of animals..
SO ANNOYING. I shouldnt have to live in a run-down shack just because I need financial help.
I hope you sleep well, Landlord's.. With your big bank accounts.. Discriminating against us less well off.

OOTD BABY!

Uh I can't get over the cuteness of Ríans outfit today. It's converse brand. I got it in tkmaxx for about 18euro!!!

I love converse stuff for babies! He has a basketball outfit by Converse too. Both are super cute! 

I love the colours in this! All the different coloured well known Converse high top runners going around in a circle! I love colourful clothes on Rían! You would find a lot of baby clothes for boys too be blue! And while I LOVE blue on him, a change is nice too! 

There's a track pants to the outfit as well with the Converse label on it! 

I just love Tkmaxx for baby/little boy clothes! You can get brand names for so cheap and very cute things like velvet sleepsuits for the little babies and full outfits for older babies like Rían :-) I highly recommend a trip there! You will not leave empty handed! Well.. Unless you don't have a baby or don't know a baby you can buy anything for. 

Here's what I wore today.. Nothing nice really just super easy cause I'm STILL sick! :-( even my hair is tied up! That's a real sign of me being very lazy!!

Self harm

I'm aware this blog isn't popular or anything close. I'm still too shy to share it properly on my social media sites.. Don't know why.. Maybe because I know some people will think it's a joke. I know they are just bitter out of jealous ness at the end of the day but I don't think I'm in a good enough place with myself to withstand too many jeers and criticism I suppose. 

I have done loads in the past that have made people look at me and think "wow what a psycho". I can't blame them, I would have thought the same of myself too. 

I have had to pick myself up from a few tough scenarios and carry on as if nothing ever happened and I have been ashamed of myself for a lot of the last 6 years of my life. 

I still have to see and hear of a lot of the people who never did and never will give me a second chance, who I know are in the background looking on this finding any small thing to laugh about. That's just what people do. 

I don't want this to sound like I'm pitying myself. I'm not. I know I have done wrong I will be the first to admit it. 

I have struggled with self worth for about half of my short life, if not longer! I'm only now dragging myself out of it's tight clutches! It's such a hard habit to break. 

One thing that really pisses me off is the taboo of mental illnesses. It really angers me when someone jokes about saying someone should kill themselves, or that someone is crazy for self harming or for going off the rails or acting different to this "norm". 

One thing the place I've grown up in isn't short on, is small minded people, scared to see life for what it really is for some people, a struggle!! 

Yet every one of my friends families are touched with mental illness. 

I plan on blogging more about mental illness in particular self harm because that is what I've experienced myself first hand. 

There is a huge stereotype attached to self harm and it's with good reason I suppose, it became glamourous almost to self harm.. But I, and lots others who didn't even know of this glamour, who really had a hard time are genuine sufferers not looking for attention. 

Anyway.. More on this topic and it's stupid small town stereotyping later.. Cause I gotta get some sleep!!! Haha! 

Goodnight x 

Questionable Fashion

Link to Schuh website

I think it says it all in the name..''scary super doughnuts trainer''... I mean these are just very frightening... We really have to start stepping back and asking ourselves.. Is this really okay? 

Now I know fashion/style is all about personal loves and hates of individuals but I think its got to the point now, where people will just pretend to like something to stand out from the crowd.. for attention! 

It is such a struggle to stand out of the crowd in such a massive industry with every second woman thinking themselves as fashionistas! 

I mean, I LOVE DONUTS.. but I would never wear these.. I would never spend money on them and I wouldnt even wear them if I got them for free... 

What would these even go with? You would have to be naked maybe?? I dunno.

I think these just show how things have changed. People just want to stand out no matter what the cost.. (the cost is embarrassment really)

I'm all for individuality but.. Who really can look at these and say to themselves truthfully that they are the nicest shoes they have ever set eyes on.... No way!! 

Anyway this is what I came across earlier looking for a pair of toms.. 

They are about 165 euro.. I kid you not. 

Absolute horror to pay that much for THAT mess! They have actually made me angry haha!

And if that pair of shoes wasnt horrifying enough for you..Priced aswell at 165euro.. You can have these, a more summery option:

YACK!

rant over :)

Jacket - bershka

Cardigan - primark

Top - primark 

Shorts - diy. 

Here is a better look without the jacket... which I LOVE! It's got a K on it! I couldn't leave it behind! You always see those baseball style jackets with A's and B's on them. I have never seen them with K so of course I had to get it! It's very comfy and casual too! Great for this weird spring weather! 

The marvel tshirt draws the boys in haha! I just liked it! I'm not a big marvel fan but why not shur! 

The shorts are years old.. All my pants were in the wash! (Typical) and I wouldn't normally wear this on such a wet cold day but I had no choice really haha! 

I didn't do much with my day.. Just visited my cousins who are over visiting from England. Rían loves watching other young children! :) 

He is now gone off with his dad for the night so I'm off duty for the night.. Even though mothers are NEVER off duty really! I'm always there for Rían! 

I'm still feeling sick!! My throat is pretty sore now and starting to look like strep throat or tonsillitis, which I used to suffer from a lot before getting pregnant... Great it's made a comeback... Not!!! 

Have a nice weekend! :)
