Firefighters

So, I volunteer at Rainbows (which is Girlguiding, for those of you who don't know) and today we had some visitors.

Firefighters!!

 And yes, they are firefighters, not firemen.

We found out a lot of interesting things;
It takes around 8 weeks to train,
We learnt how to use the hose - all the girls got to have a go.
We learnt that the average shift is ten hours
That they attend more car accidents than house fires
And that they are no longer taught, in training, to do the famous fireman's lift!!

It was thoroughly interesting, so I'd like to thank the four guys that visited us; they were really great with the girls and had great senses of humour!

Thankyou London Fire Brigade for everything that you do!





Stay Excellent

I Want To Read More This Year!!

I want to read more this year! I want to write and I want to create! But mainly I want to read; time completely ran away from me at the end of last year and throughout January. And its definitely a goal this year to find the perfect balance between all the areas I want my life to be thriving on. Unfortunately I'm not blessed with the mental pragmatism of having one passion in life, my mind thrives on the thoughts of eight, if not more, ideas all at once and I've yet to create the perfect plan to work on all of them equally. But this is the year! So future Chantal I hope you're reading this back and thinking to yourself - YES! I did it! I worked it out! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Lush Review - Yoga Bath Bomb

Image
I give you the Yoga Bomb!  Step 1: Run a bath  Step 2: Drop bath bomb  Step 3: Watch  Step 3 and a half: Wait for the bomb to dissolve fully  Step 4: Photograph  Step 5: 'Ooohh' at the newly revealed colours  Step 6: Stare at the new glittery colour your bath water has turned  Step 7: 'Oooohh' some more  Step 8: Relax and indulge So this bath bomb wasn't (in my opinion) anything special. Yes the colours were pretty and the glitter was cool, but as for aroma - there was little to none, so I didn't find it anymore relaxing than a normal bath. Well, except the fact that I was bathing in liquid that was a very impressive pigmented orange colour (I did fear I might step out of the bath and have to scrub off the pigment that had attached itself to my skin; luckily this was not the case.).  On first impressions this bath bomb gave the water an immediate sort of slimey feel which thankfully subs...
