Graduation-

Recieving my huge award that i swapped for a cute little one :)

The gorgeous mother.

The proud mother.

The most glamorous principle ever and the lovely Kim.

The gorgeous Laurence & Alison.

Jesssss, my year wouldnt have been the same without her.

My cute little award that im so proud of!

Walking into The Fashion Retail Acedemy in September 2009, i never thought i would walk out on graduation day winning The Outstanding Student Of The Year Award aswell as an overall Distinction grade certificate. As soon as my name was called out after a long speech as to whos won it, i couldnt believe it and just wanted to go cuddle my mum. I felt like i had won an Oscar ha! As i have always said 'Its the effort you put into something yourself to achieve what you want out of life' and working ridiculously hard throughout the year and especially in my FMP definitely payed off. Today at graduation has inspired me to go on to Level 3 and work as hard as i possibly can to achieve the best results as the feeling is amazing. I have had the best first year at FRA and bring on Level 3! xo

& to top one of the best days, my mother bought me the most gorgeous Twenty8Twelve dress as a congratulations present. YAY! xo

Its a mother daughter thing.

Most Gorgeous List -

Every Wednesday on facebook, my mum makes a 'Most Gorgeous List' and puts on everyone thats made her smile, laugh or told her compliments on this list. This week it was dedicated to me so i thought i would post it onto my blog as i think its too cute to not. Mother, you little beaut.

April Salsbury - ok well today is a special 'Most Gorgeous' list cos its dedicated to my Jodie turning 18 this week....These are just a few things that Jodie has said and done that have stuck in my mind....♥

No. 1 ....when she was little she was really naughty for me when we was out so when we got back i put her in her bedroom still wearing her coat and made her sit on her bed...i looked through the crack of the door to see what she would do and she just shrugged her shoulders and said 'im on me own now, im on me own!!!' ....haha...little cow x

No. 2 .....on her birthday when she was about 2 the little lovely would not wear her new party shoes and i mean not wear them....kicking screaming until she had her dirty bashed up little baseball boots on with her party dress...then she twirled round the garden all happy and singing...xx

No. 3 ...when she was about 3 we was round my sisters Vanessa's house and her little boy Callum who was 4 was coming out the kitchen and Jodie just goes to him 'Cal do you wanna dance?'....well he looked at her with utter disgust and went 'no i dont'....xx

No. 4 ....when Jodie had to have her pre-school injection at the doctors she was crying when we came out and this lady said 'oh darling why are you crying' and Jodie goes 'cos the doctor just stuck a nail in my arm'....hahahah....she was very cute you know x.x.

No. 5 ...she couldnt stand if i bought cockles from the seafood stalls she thought they looked like baby birds...and once she walked into the kitchen and said 'ergh i can smell baby birds' but it was vinegar she could smell...=) xx

NO. 6 ....when she found out i was pregnant she clapped her hands and said 'yes a baby sister' ..and then when she found out i was having 2 babies...she got more excited by these little baby sisters she was gonna have....then i told her she was having baby brothers instead and she cried for two whole days!!!........xx

NO. 7 ....when they was little her and Reece were arguing and she goes to Reece 'if you dont stop being horrible to me im not gonna wipe your bum for you anymore'....hahhaah x.x.

NO. 8 ....this was only recent so cant blame being young on this one....but she actually thought if you lived 'up north' it was an actual place like Essex or Manchester!!.....cant have beauty and brains i suppose =) x.x

No. 9 ....last mothers day she made me a really gorgeous personallised album that she stayed up all nite making til she was actually sick with tiredness.....it really is a work of art and i will treasure it always....xx

No. 10....and last but by no means least this is the girl i love so very much she makes me laugh every day....is very funny...very artistic and creative....always looks lovely and is not only beautiful on the outside but the inside too...love you Jode dont ever change ♥ ♥ ♥ x.x.

My reply -

Mum you little cute stuff, I would like to add I'm still rubbish at geography, still wear all bashed up baseball boots and still feel sick if I see a sequin or abit of glitter from your album. But where would I be without you? You mean everything (okay, orange bucket coming my way) but no seriously, thank you for a gorgeous 18th. You'll be spoilt on your 50th ;) love you mother Hubbard you milf x x

Birthday.

Birthday cakes and presents.

Paying for Chanel in cash.

Stylish Thinking - April Salsbury

The C.V - The most stylish mother i know, always laughing and loves Matt Goss a little too much.

The wardrobe i would love to raid the most.. would be Kate Moss, love the blazer and grey jeans look.

I cant live without.. bootsales - for my clothes and homeware. You never know what your going to come home with which is just so exciting. "Someone elses rubbish, is someone elses treasure"

My favourite thing in my wardrobe.. are my 7 for all mankind jeans. They fit perfectly and so flattering.

The 3 most important things to me.. are my kids as they keep me young and laughing. My old car which is very sentimental for me as its taken me to the moon and back. My phone - without it is like ive lost an arm, although i may not get a text for days, its like a comfort blanket.

My home is.. Very me in its feminine but very individual with its own personal style. I do love the word 'Love' and it shows up all around my home.

Im in love with.. The black leather clogs from River Island, i want and im going to get.

Off to bed i go,

Ridiculously looking forward to -

• Pink sprinkly cupcakes in the sun.
• My birthday.
• Blair & Chucks Gossip Girl love.
• Beachy days.
• Love notes.
• Laughing more and more with April Salsbury-Not only a mother, but a best friend.

Night Beauts

Happy Fings
