My Name Is Beki & I Am A Photographer


Buenos Dias Beautiful.

As i spend much of my time on here rambling and raving about god knows what, i thought it was about time that i told you some things about me (without boring you to death).

I am first and foremost a photographer - picking up a camera and capturing the world has always been a passion of mine - for over 10 whole years. September 2013 was the year i decided (after a 5 year gap yarrrrh') to plunge into the deep depths that i higher education. I study at Bolton university, not as prestigious as some but it allows me to live with my boyfriend at home and be able to see his mush every single day. 


These idiots mean the world to me:
Clockwise from me- Jon (my other half), Reece (main man), Beany (boyfriend's Wife), Ant (sisters boyfriend) & Kayne (my bestest bro)

Sam (worlds most beautiful unicorn)

Nat (best milf friend)

Lora, Emma & Amy (long term college friends)

Bedy (slovakian lunatic), Gav & Mike (brum friends)

Jordan, Fender & Bethy (best brum bro's)


Here are some other fun facts:
- I am scared of the dark, sharks & marionettes/puppets (this is excludes Muppets)
- I am OBSESSED with the Muppets :P
- I am a Capricorn (for those, who like me enjoy star sign and horoscope related faff)
- Kelly Osbourne is my heroine
- I like pens, and stationary in general.
- I do NOT look good in gym clothing. It's wrong.
- I scrapbook almost everything, it's the one thing i'd save in a fire.
- My favorite dessert is Banoffee Pie.
- I suffer from several mental health issues.
- I'm obsessed with the idea of a wedding...

Radical Lifestyle Chance - Happier, Healthier Me


As of last week i decided that i needed to sort my life out. I'm not happy at the size i am (which is a UK20 by the way) - not to say that ladies of this size are "gross" or "disgusting" at any point, i am a firm believer in self happiness, and if ladies who are my current size - or even bigger - are happy and feel luscious and gorgeous, then my god i admire you for your amazing bodies and your self confidence, i however have none, i feel disgusting, i wont let my partner see me naked, i wont prance round in my underwear & i often cry in the shower looking at my body.
I joined a gym - £16 a month as a student, which i consider to be a good price as i get use of 6 swimming pools in my borough, 6 different gyms and any/all workouts classes that i fancy. I couldn't grumble at that sort of deal.
For those in the Wigan/Leigh/Hindley borough - it's the WLCT lifestyles gym (Link) and with that you get a full induction and a 1-2-1 with a very competent instructor who will ask you your needs and wants and set you up a personalized workout - so you're not going in all doe eyed and freaking about what does what and what scary looking machine is going to get you next. I got set up with 88 minutes of cardio, leg exercises, tummy crunches and some cool running type machine (no, not a treadmill) which takes the impact from your legs since i have a dodgy ankle - i ran a whole 10 minutes on this thing, i could've gone longer - this i find an achievement because i can't usually run for the bus without having a mild asthma attack.
Yesterday i had my first attempt at not dying in the gym and i felt great after, i was spurred on to eat a healthy lunch & i slept like a log - i was so damn refreshed when i woke up this morning.

My workout album:


Alongside this i've been eating ALOT more veggies, i've cut down chocolate and crisps and all that type of junk food to maybe one or two nibbles a week - and my god i feel proud of myself.

My biggest step however (yes, bigger than putting my gigantic body into Lycra and exercising in-front of strangers) is becoming vegetarian.
I'm not going to get all political and over the top about my views, but animal cruelty is something i feel VERY strongly about, i saw this Facebook page & saw a few videos and articles and that was that - end of my meat eating reign. Hopefully i can keep this up.

What're your exercise routines?


P.S//
Also, completely non-related to this post, i found this on the internet and i couldn't not share it, i thought it was so wonderful :) it made my tummy go all funny and happy.
Take a look, you wont regret it.

March Wishlist.

Being a poor student, having no money & a ton of credit card debt means that i have to window shop online and hope to god i can sweet talk some poor sucker into buying me pretty things (this never ever works by the way..)
These are the beauties I've found today that i desperately need, a life or death situation if you will..



1;;2;;3;;4;;5;;6;;7;;8

All of these goodies are fabulously created & a few of them I've had my eye on for a while.
The Captain Morgan's would go down a treat.

What're your current *wants*?
