Soundtrack To My Life
It is time for Bex to share her Soundtrack To My Life choices today. Amongst her likes are the colour red, rock music (highlighted below), drumstick lollies and things that sparkle.  Her music choices vary greatly which is what I love most about this series.  For now, it's over to Bex...

The Spice Girls - Wannabe 

My parents were never that interested in music when I was young and although they played some, there is nothing that stands out to me as a memory sparking song. The first music I really got into though was the Spice girls and I dove head first into this obsession. I remember singing this song with my friends at birthday sleepovers, and day dreaming about platform boots.



ACDC - Back in Black 

The bloke and I met at Download festival in 2010. We had a lot of friends in common and so were camping in the same area but had never met. The weekend involved copious amounts of alcohol, very little sleep and some amazing bands. Little did I know that I had met the man I would want to spend my life with, the man who would give me two beautiful boys. We stood in a field together, a pint in each hand and sang (well probably shouted) along to this song together.



Muse - Time is Running Out 

As a teen my music taste somewhat improved, and my love of 'real' music developed. Muse were the band I was desperate to see, the one I could play quietly on my portable CD player or blast from my Hi-Fi. They summarised my teenage years and I still play this album several times a week. I love their voices, their music and their lyrics and I can't help but sing along every single time.



The Killers - Mr Brightside 

I bought this album the week before starting university and it will always bring me back to life in halls, freshers week, turning up still drunk to 11am lectures and making friendships that will last a lifetime. Moving away from home was a big thing and the familiarity of music and songs that I knew every single word too helped me settle into the amazing new life I was making for myself



Leona Lewis - Happy 

I got this song stuck in my head when I was pregnant the first time and certain lines really stuck with me. My pregnancy was not planned and was at the very beginning of a new relationship. I was young, unprepared and confused, but I knew that I would do anything for this little person growing inside of me. I wasn't willing to give up my future and I wasn't going to give up my baby. I took the words and used them to feel strong about my decisions. I sung it so much during my pregnancy, that I found singing it to my newborn instantly calmed him, and even now at two years old, it is a song he loves to hear me sing.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
