But first, let me take a selfie! Selfie Stick!

The nation has gone crazy... Now everyone (including me) is obsessed with taking selfies wherever they are or go! A while a go I saw the trend break out like a rash all over Instagram. 'Selfie pod', 'selfie stick' ... whatever you want to call it, I think the invention is amazing and I really really wanted one. Ive seen so many people trying to cram onto a photo and peoples heads either get cropped off or it just looks blurred from someone moving and knocking the camera... Well this time has come and gone... behold the super stick!

iTech Selfees Telescopic Arm Kit (Selfie Stick) : The Range - £4.99 

I could not believe it, our local The Range were stocking selfie sticks! 

"This handheld, lightweight, stainless steel iTech Selfees Telescopic Arm Kit is perfect for taking selfies with ease. There's no need to ask a stranger to take a picture of you anymore, as this versatile self portrait camera arm is lightweight, and easily portable, so you can take them yourself!" This just sells it to me, I hate asking anyone to take photos because its just so awkward and then half of the time I never end up liking the photo they have actually taken anyway!

When I picked up a box they stated that there was three colours, black white & red. I didn't really fancy any of those as I had seen pink ones online from other places, but when I picked up a red one and opened it up to see how red it actually was I was so impressed as it was PINK! This sold it to me there and then! Also for £4.99? Bargain and a lot cheaper than ones I've seen elsewhere!

Heres the three main specs of this amazing creation:

"It is constructed mainly of stainless steel so it won't rust, for lasting quality, plus it includes a wrist strap for support and security when in use and carrying."

"This telescopic arm not only extends from 20cm-97cm, but it also rotates 360degrees, and it's easy to adjust to any angle."

"This kit contains a telescopic arm, a universal phone holder and a tripod."

So many people are quick to judge this piece of technology saying they're silly etc, but I personally think they're such a good invention! It will also help with any quick/ last minute blog photos, and will also decrease the number of 'mirror selfies' when coming to take an outfit photo!

 Bye bye arms length photos!

Have you given in to your deadly sins and brought a selfie stick? Come on, its fun! Bring on the christmas family selfies!

9 Instagram highlights.

So like most of you i am a lover of Instagram. I love taking photo's and publishing them on there. You can find me at http://instagram.com/natsaltx. Heres a little sneak peek at my Instagram week.

From left to right…
1. Fluffy cosy star jumper (Ark Clothing) & leggings. This is todays OOTD. Its pretty crap weather outside, day one of my holiday & I'm having a lazy day sorting out a few finances from home. This jumper is a recent buy and i love it! Its so cosy and is keeping me nice and warm :)
2. Dark living room with lit pumpkins. This was very late last night after getting back from a roast & wine party! Clearly a bad idea lighting candles before you go to bed when your intoxicated, don't try this at home! I had a lovely evening with great company.
3. Pink flower tea-light holder. I brought this from Tesco a few months back from the clearance isle for like £1.00, what a bargin! I love having this lit as its just so pretty and makes me feel happy.
4. Big orange pumpkins. So here i have done what most of you will of/will be doing- carving pumpkins. I didn't really know how to carve mine and i felt that looking on google for pictures of pumpkins was cheating, therefore i just got on with it and went with two simple designs. This was a fun day :)
5.Clothes from Ark! So on Saturday as a surprise i was taken to good old Manchester! I spent most of the day window shopping dreaming of things that id like to buy. I did however get treated to the 3 items on this picture which i am in love with! I will probably do a haul post of these items so stay tuned! I love Ark as its such a trendy shop and everything is at an affordable price. I don't have one close by so Manchester is my closet store! You can find Ark online, on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & more!
6. "Expectation is the root of all heartache" (William Shakespeare). This is just a little picture i came across whilst i was on the internet.. pretty self explanatory!
7. Candles, candles & more candles. If you didn't know by now i love candles. I think theres nothing nicer and more relaxing than a candlelit room! This was a very chilled out evening!
8. A beautiful and yummy cupcake! I came into work and found this waiting for me on my desk. It was baked by a lovely friend of mine. Yummy Yummy Yummy.
9. Selfie- just the usual selfie here!

So there we have it, my 9 Instagram highlights!
Enjoy :)
