“Gnome Make-Up Selfie”… #kickcancer #hahahaheeheehee

All day yesterday I saw nothing but “No Make-Up Selfies” in my Facebook stream. Some offered a link to Cancer charities, some declared it is “for Cancer awareness”, others just posted them for the sheer fun of it.  When I was nominated to post one myself, I thought I’d have a bit of a giggle with it so here is my “Gnome Make-Up Selfie”..

If I made you smirk/giggle or clutch your sides like the Laughing Gnome in the Bowie hide it under a rock and pretend it never happened classic, then please text “BEAT” to 70099 to donate £3 or click here to donate online

 

Many thanks, I’ll leave you with the joy that is “The Laughing Gnome” by Sir David Bowie.. (cute animation by Olivia Broome) 

 

Boobie Wednesday.. for Heather x

This is not the post I was going to write today, I intended to (and started) a very silly one about Michael Gove being “Martini Man”.. (anytime, any place, anywhere..)   Twitter interrupted.  I slowly started to become aware of boobie avatars appearing.. male and female so I had a look at their hashtag #boobiewednesday..

Boobie Wednesday was started by “two crazy twitter chicks” in America just over a year ago. The idea of the hashtag is not to perve at women’s knockers but to create awareness about breast cancer and encourage women to perform a weekly examination. I lost my best friend to breast cancer, dont let the same thing happen to you. Spread the word..

Here are the 8 main things to look out for.. (men, I’m talking to you too – men also die of breast cancer, I kid you not)

A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm that persists through the menstrual cycle.
A mass or lump, which may feel as small as a pea.
A change in the size, shape, or contour of the breast.
A blood-stained or clear fluid discharge from the nipple.
A change in the feel or appearance of the skin on the breast or nipple (dimpled, puckered, scaly, or inflamed).
Redness of the skin on the breast or nipple.
An area that is distinctly different from any other area on either breast.
A marble-like hardened area under the skin.

If you have a partner, why not make it a regular event you share together?  You never know where it may lead ; )
