BRAND NEW MUSIC! MKS - FLATLINE!

Today is finally the day when we can all rejoice and holler that the perfect melodies from the ex-Sugababes are back together on a brand new track - Flatline.
 
The song is an emotive balance of pop perfection and easy listening and basically does the job of reminding us why we loved them so much in the first place.
 
The music reminds me slightly of something Jessie Ware would release, then Siobhan's vocal starts up and you're immediately aware of how catchy this pop tune is going to be. All three ladies' voices complement each other so well and, as you can tell, I'm so happy they are back!
 
The Sugababes just grew up.

Holiday Bloggin'! - Motivation Monday

Good evening! This week I am bloggin' all the way from Christchurch, Dorset, where I am currently sleeping off a terrible case of 'burnout' that occured in the last two weeks!
 
Other than spending my days doing some of my FAVE Dorset-y things to do - like visiting the New Forest and boat-watching in Poole - I am also using this time as some sort of detox vacay.
 
Staying with the grandparents is always a little bit like rehab - it's quiet, technology is at it's very basic and having a signal is a no-go, let alone the lack of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - but this time I'm taking it ridiculously seriously. For those of you that know me, going out sans make-up is near enough IMPOSSIBLE for me, however, today I went shopping and pottering with Grandad totes bare-faced! PROUD! Not only am I letting my skin breathe this week, I'm also investing in the Vitamin D spray you can get from Holland & Barratt - if the sun ain't guna shine on me then I'll spray it's goodness straight into my gob instead! £7 for 100 sprays and you only need one spray a day! Bargain skincare and healthiness in a tiny bottle.
 

 
What else have I discovered here?! Oh...squats feel harder to do when you're supposed to be holiday! Dragging myself from the unbelievably comfy recliner every evening takes dedication - I hope Ibiza appreciates the effort in which I am making. Anyway, I re-tweeted this on Twitter and love it so much - KEEP GOING:
 
 
I always have such random playlist fancies when I'm away - I've been obsessed with the mainstream ones like Blurred Lines (Robin Thicke, Pharrell & T.I), Antenna (Fuse ODG) & Beautiful (Mariah & Miguel) BUT thanks to over-listening to the new Kisstory radio station I've been re-visiting some old tunes that are total CLASSICS: Skinny (Lo Rider), No More [Baby I'ma Do Right] (3LW), Dumb (The 411), Is It You & Me And You (Cassie), Freak Like Me (Sugababes) and Break It Off (Rihanna & Sean Paul):
 
 


 
You can't deny they are some TUNES! On the agenda this week of chilled detox is a trip to Poole to check out the sexy Sunseekers (even though the firm is set to be bought out by China!) and a spot of Lunch, tomorrow I'll be spending a morning at the salon and Wednesday is shopping day - I'll keep you posted!
 
Don't forget...KEEP GOING!

The ULTIMATE Playlist!!

YAY! After a few days of the most miserable May weather ever, tomorrow is finally going to be hot and sunny and delicious! Well it would be because I'm due in the office between 8am and 6pm...TUT!
 
Who else is going to be bustin' a decent dress tomorrow? I have a Forever 21 beaut in my closet that I haven't been able to wear yet, so I'm definitely going to be posting an 'OOTD' post tomorrow...make sure you pop in to see it and give me some styling advice.
 
Today was my first day off from work since last Thursday, and I've spent it blazin' some old-school tunes, cleaning my room and prancing about the house like I was 12 years old again! From the deep depths of my CD collection (yes, I was even playing CDs on an actual stereo! Who needs MP3 and technology?!) I re-discovered 5 songs that literally brought me back to life:
 
1) Example - Watch The Sun Come Up
 
 
Did this song really come out over 4 years ago?! What a massive, happy tune! As soon as this came on I was all over the dance moves and cutting shapes all over the place!
 
2) Booty Luv - Some Kinda Rush
 
 
The burst of energy this catchy dance tune gave me was unreal! You know when you were little you'd pick who you wanted to be and perform those parts for your teddies?! Well I chose to be Cherise (on the right) and put on an exclusive show for Princess, my highly unimpressed Bichon Frise...
 
3) Akon ft. Colby O'Donis & Kardinall Offishall - Beautiful
 
 
Do not even try and tell me you didn't enjoy this song when it came out in 2008! Furthermore, stop pretending you weren't obsessed with Colby O'Donis around the same time, too!
 
4) The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
 
 
Probably one of the greatest songs ever recorded. The strings, his voice, the lyrics: It's all utter perfection.
 
5) N-Dubz - Strong Again
 
 
I don't even care! Put down your judging books and hear me out: I LOVED N-DUBZ!
Their songs were so relatable and catchy and were just pop genius. I even went to their concert. So there... *sticks tongue out*
 
Although this could be one of the world's most random playlist it was perfect for my day off! My room is spotless and I'm as chilled out as can be...
What are some of your fave songs that always get you going?!
