A Fabulous Adventure

Us girls of ‘Fifty Shades of Fabulous’ had a thrilling day today so we thought we’d treat you all with a lovely post about what today’s adventures entailed, and this is the outcome:

We met up in our usual rendezvous place around 11 after, being the clever girl she is, Scarlett forgot to lock her door and had to run all the way home to lock it (Whoopsy). After that dilemma had been resolved, we took our final stroll around school and said goodbye to the teachers that are leaving and for Laura to faff, give thank you cards and to get our yearbooks signed- as always, Scarlett got rather overwhelmed with emotions after saying goodbye to her favorite teacher and started blubbering like a baby. I’m just an emotional person okay!? Two hours down the line, and we thought it’d be best if we vacated the school premises for the very last time – Good Bye School! You will be missed.

After that emotional trip, we met up with our fabulous friends: Isaac and Gyllene who greeted us with moaning about our lengthy trip around school. We then took a trip to various shops to buy enough liquids to keep us hydrated for the whole day – Water, Orange Juice, Irn-Bru, 7UP, J2O, Grape Soda and Energy Drinks so it’s safe to say we had enough. We also had to get ‘Fab’ ice lollies, because we thought we’d celebrate the opening of this fabulous new blog with a relevant item of food.

The trip then took us to a beautiful little spot we like to call ‘V-Shape’ because, to your amazement, it’s in the shape of a V – i know, baffling stuff. V-Shape is a little stream type area with sun and shade, so a perfect spot for us to go on such a beautiful day. We sat there from around 2-5:30 taking many photos which you can view here.

As V-Shape comes with it’s own built in pool, we though we’d go for a little paddle and being the cleverer of the two, Scarlett brought a spare Hawaiian shirt to wear in the water and Laura brought nothing. Therefore Scarlett came to the rescue and agreed to let Laura wear her dress sacrificing her dryness while walking home just to save Laura’s – I know, a great friend.

We ended the day by walking, or in Scarlett’s case; limping home (Because her shoes were giving her blisters *Cry*) but of course we had to stop off at Laura’s house for Scarlett to retrieve her dress – as usual while at Laura, Scarlett was given a drink and fed ham. Then Laura’s fabulous mother; Carolyn, gave Scarlett a lift home because of her poorly feet – Thanks Carolyn!

The highlight of the day was most definitely when a random dog ran up to us, pondered around for a second and then went and urinated all over Gyllene’s bag – priceless.

Many thanks to Isaac and Gyllene for making this day a fabulous one for us.

Until the next time,

Stay Safe, Stay Warm, Stay Hydrated and Stay Fabulous!

A Fabulous Welcome

Welcome to Fifty Shades of Fabulous, Folks!

Being our first post, we thought it’d be wise to tell you a little bit about ourselves – but then we thought: “Isn’t there an ‘About Us’ page for that?…” so we won’t go into a lengthy detailed post about every single nook and cranny of our lives. Instead we came up with the idea of just explaining a bit about who we are as a duo – not individual people. So here is the outcome:

We met in 2008 when we first started the dreaded high school – It wasn’t until 2012; year 11 however that we actually started to become really good friends. Even before we started to become great friends, we were friends because of the one simple thing we had in common: Our Birthday! Yes, we have the same birthday. There used to be an extremely big group of people who all got along and there was no fuss – but then certain circumstances meant that the group slowly drifted apart and Scarlett had a choice to make: Did she hang around with the people who were turning to drugs or did she hang around with the people who were clever enough not to, whom Laura was one of? Well like a fool, being Scarlett she hung around with the first group – but don’t be alarmed, she didn’t touch any drugs. However, Scarlett soon realised who silly that choice was and being the loving people they are our current group of friends accepted her in their little group – the group that the fabulous Laura was in. From that very day, we grew closer and closer and even made presents for teachers together: like the famous meat hamper for our RE teacher and now we spend most of our time together because we’re great.

Being the only two girls in our close group of friends it’s perfect, because there is no bitching, no falling out, we’re just a brilliant group of people who have a brilliant time doing brilliant things – and that’s the way we all like it.

Laura’s version of this story would go along the lines of: “Scarlett nuzzled her way into our group, so we became friends.”

So this is the fabulous adventure of how we know each other – nothing magical or special to the everyday person, but to us it is our story and no one Else’s – ew, soppy.

Until the next time,

Stay safe, Stay warm, Stay hydrated and Stay Fabulous!
