I work at a shop that sells beads and it's just perfect for me :) I'm so pleased that I was successful with the interview! I've been there for about 3 weeks now, almost 4, and I've learnt so much already! I have already started to make earrings and such and it's all very exciting for me!<br />
<br />
I have added this blog, and The Corner of Craft's blog to BlogLovin <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/6594019/?claim=pt9rcj365qj">Follow HananatheBanana with Bloglovin here</a> and <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11402133/?claim=tpfkkgrctaw">Follow The Corner of Craft's Blog with Bloglovin here</a><br />
<br />
I post on The Corner of Craft's blog a lot more frequently than I do here, but that's because I think that I don't have anything to share with you here! I post the things that I make on TCOC and I've been making a lot of things lately, like these amazing penguin mittens/fingerless gloves!!<br />

I'm so proud of them as they took me such a long time to make! I'm now frantically making Christmas presents for people for Christmas! So many gifts, so little time.<br />
<br />
See you again soon!<br />

I promise to try harder at keeping this blog up to speed with what's happening with me :)<br />
<br />
So I've set up a shop on Etsy! Selling items I've made with crochet and what-not. It's called The Corner Of Craft ("Craft Corner" was already taken :( ) and it's actually been going quite well. I've only sold a few things to friends at the moment, but I'm optimistic about it.<br />

I've had an interview at another job in a shop. A shop called The Bead Shop in Nottingham city centre. It went well and I have another interview tomorrow. I'd put myself off about the job due to homesickness, but now I think I'm going to go for it! I could be feeling homesick just because I'm in a job I don't fully enjoy so maybe I'll feel better with this other job!</div>

I can't really think about what's happened over the past two months! I've turned 23. I suppose that's quite a big thing. I had a great birthday and a few friends from home came up to visit me and we had a great time! </div>

I dyed my hair too... Always dying my hair! I got bored of it again... You can see the faded remains in the photos above.</div>

This is the colour it originally was, and then it faded to purple!! I used the dyed I used to dye my hair bright colours so it wouldn't be damaging. Then I got a load chopped off... and that's my hair story from the past two months! Not very exciting, I know :)</div>

It's in a café in a shopping centre in Nottingham and that's why I've not posted in over a month (!) as I've been a busy bee. It's nice to finally have a job and to know that I don't have to rely on Mario so much for money.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Mario, we've started a new blog! We love eating out so decided to do something with that. We review restaurants in Nottingham and the meals we've eaten there. it's a lot of fun so far and it's been well received by our friends :) <a href="http://atasteofnottingham.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Check it out here!</a><br />

Matt, Mario and I spent one Saturday night playing Risk! I'd never played it before, and the game never officially finished as tiredness got the best of us... I was definitely in the lead though! Matt and I tweeted throughout the game what was happening and it was really funny at times!!</div>

Lately, I have become obsessed with Cupcake Wars. I dunno why I have, but I just have. It's American so everyone is so dramatic, although $10,000 is the prize so I guess it's a lot to get dramatic about! I love to bake cupcakes myself and my last post highlighted some of my creations. </div>

I don't know if it's because I've watched too much Cupcake Wars, but I'm starting to change my mind on the tearoom idea to having a cupcake shop instead. I would still have tea and coffee but it would predominantly be a cupcake shop instead. It's still a while until anything like that is going to happen, but it's nice to have an idea about my future!!</div>

In other news, I have updated my bracelet shop :) It took me about 3 hours to do it though! I think that's why I update my shop so rarely. It takes so long, I keep putting it off :P Here is a selection of some of the bracelets I have added to the shop!</div>

I had a great time at home and it was so lovely to spend time with my family again. I have finally taken the plunge and I've moved out of my childhood home. I say "moved out" but I still have a lot of my belongings there so I suppose I've not properly moved out yet... I'm now living with my boyfriend, Mario, in Nottingham and so far it's going really well! I was naturally a little nervous about it all but that's expected.<br />
<br />
I suppose the next big thing I need to share is this:<br />

I graduated! I now have a BA Joint Hons in German with French from Nottingham Trent University! It was stupidly hot that day and I had a proper sweat on for most of the day! Delightful... It was lovely to have the support of my family there and they all seemed so proud! My sister even stayed with us for a few days after graduation which was so wonderful!</div>

Sorry I've been such a fail. Not a lot has happened to be honest because I've come home for three weeks before moving up to Nottingham for good! I'm back in Notts on Wednesday though.<br />
<br />
So on the 11th of June it was my university's graduation ball. As I am graduating in 2.5 weeks' time (how specific am I??), I naturally went along. Example and Rudimental performed there so that was fun. I sadly didn't go to the after party for a few reasons and I really wish I had!<br />
<br />
Here's a few photos for your enjoyment :)<br />

As you can see, I went for the 1950's, pin up look and it was very well received! I bought my dress when it was in the sale too, which was a bonus! I filmed a "Get Ready With Me" video for the makeup, if anyone is interested.<br />

The day after grad ball, I came home for a bit. I've been looking for a job in Nottingham but I've not had any calls back yet so home was a lovely opportunity to get away from all that stress. Charlotte, my sister, and I went to Brighton when I got home and had a lot of fun! The weather was wonderful, although a little too windy to make the most of the beach.<br />

The final part for now: I tried to dye my hair brown so I could be taken more seriously when I'm looking for a job :P Unfortunately, the coloured part of my hair was too stubborn and didn't want to be covered up, so now my hair is mainly brown with some purple and pink parts! I'll have to do it again at some point but it won't be for a while. I can't afford to damage my hair too much!!</div>

I got back yesterday after a wonderful week to find my house here in disarray so I'm writing this blog post to put off facing the mess the boys were kind enough to create while I was gone!<br />
<br />
Anyway, you didn't come to this blog post to read my complaints, so let's get on with the week in pictures! Naturally I didn't take photos every day because I fail, but I got a lot of photos on one day so hopefully that'll do.<br />
<br />
On Sunday we went to Dartington Food and Drink festival, which was a lot of fun. Had a delicious steak pasty for lunch (while in Devon...) and looked around all the different types of food Dartington had to offer. There were also animals there, which was just too cute! (Some of these photos are stolen from one of my friend's Facebook page.)<br />

Tuesday and Wednesday were quiet days. We went into town for a spot on Shopping on Tuesday and then went to a place called Trago Mills on Wednesday. Trago Mills is like a giant warehouse with literally everything in it and most of it is quite reduced in price! Mario was in his element.</div>

Thursday was a very busy day. Mario originally wanted to go camping, but changed his mind halfway through the day. We did explore a lot of Cornwall though! First stop was Land's End. It was on Mario's list of things to do before he dies, so it was nice to tick one of them off! It's such a beautiful place and I may be spamming with pictures, but it is worth it; I think it is anyway!</div>

We then drove on a little way to the Minack Theatre. We did want to look round but after paying £5 to park at Land's End (!!!), we didn't really want to spend too much more money! We did walk down a little way and found a gorgeous cove that I have usefully forgotten the name of. Sorry :/ The sea was such a beautiful colour and the beach looked so sandy!</div>

We then had lunch in Penzance. Delicious fish and chips on the seafront. It felt like I was truly on holiday! After a bit more driving around, we went to Hayle, which was another pretty town. In case you hadn't guessed it, there are many pretty towns in Cornwall. Definitely worth a visit if you have the opportunity!</div>

We then went home after an exhausting day. Mario was worn out after driving all day so the next two days were lazy days. We stayed around Exeter and it was wonderful. Mario made biscotti and I attempted to make honeycomb, but I'm pretty sure the boyfriend ruined it :P We also made icecream, orange flavoured, but I left before I had a chance to try it. Hopefully it's tasty though!!</div>

I am finished with university now! No more studying or education for the next few years, which is weird because I have been in education non-stop since I was 5-years-old!! I feel a bit at a loose end now. I don't know what to do with myself!<br />
<br />
First of all, dissertation hand-in! That was due the 3rd of May and I was actually finished with it way before then so I didn't have a last minute stress, which I definitely predicted for myself.<br />

It was a very interesting topic to research and I absolutely loved writing it. I liked that it was one of my only modules that I was interested in and enjoyed as much as I did because I wasn't so engaged with the other modules I was forced to study. If people are interested in finding out what a typical German is, or "typisch Deutsch" as they say, let me know and I may do a blog post about it :)<br />

Bank holiday Monday, or May Day, followed this celebratory time. In England, May Day is renowned for being rainy and miserable, but this year it was actually incredibly sunny! Who'd have thought? I went to the local park with one of my friends and a group of her friends. We had a picnic and icecream and we played a new card game that I want to say is called Mafia, but I'm not entirely sure. It was a while ago!</div>

That afternoon, my housemates and I had a lovely BBQ! You'd never have guessed that a few days later the weather turned and was cold, wet and unpleasant! The same friend whom I went to the picnic with bought me some daffodils! I won the pot at the choir Christmas party, but I only just got my prize from my friend! She decided to make it more interesting with some gorgeous daffodils, which aren't quite so gorgeous any more!</div>

And finally, I have changed my hair colour once again. I was trying to go for a more acceptable-to-society colour, but my hair is brighter than I thought it would be! Directions Rubine (diluted with conditioner) on top and then Directions Plum (mixed with some violet and diluted with conditioner) on the bottom of my hair.</div>

I have had people telling me frequently that this is their favourite colour-combination, but I always get different people telling me different things about the colour of my hair! I guess it's all about personal preference at the end of the day!</div>

<br />
I have been going great guns with making new YouTube videos, so be sure to check them out if you feel so inclined: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/hananathebanana">http://www.youtube.com/user/hananathebanana</a><br />
<br />
I went to The Vintage Fair in Nottingham (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/nottinghamvintage?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/nottinghamvintage</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VintageFair">https://www.facebook.com/VintageFair</a>) on Sunday and it was SO cool! It was in The Albert Hall in Nottingham, which is just up Derby Road. I've performed there with my university choir in first year of uni so I have fond memories of that place!<br />
<br />
There were so many people and stalls there. The popularity for these fairs has definitely picked up as they continue! There were also many stalls selling a variety of gorgeous vintage wares. I wanted them all but I limited myself to only spending £20. Entry was £1 for students and £2 for adults. Bargain!<br />
<br />
I am naturally obsessed with tea and teasets at the moment. This place was like a haven to me. SO many different stalls selling teacups and saucers and all sorts of cute things! I resisted the urge to buy any though as I will be moving out soon and the new flat doesn't have a lot of space for excess storage. I thought I was very controlled.<br />

I cannot wait to go back there when I have a job and spare money to spend so I can start investing for my tea room! It's going to be perfect :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There were also a lot of clothes stalls. I have a problem with vintage clothing. Not the actual wearing of it itself, but more because the sizing is very different to what it is now. This means it can be very difficult for me to find something that's affordable (I think spending more than £20 on a dress that someone else has previously owned is a bit of a rip off, unless it's a posh designer) and that will fit me. I tend to stick to the accessories stalls because they're not that expensive and they can be "one size fits all", to a certain extent.</div>

So I bought two things when I was at the vintage fair and they're just jewellery. I bought a cute necklace for £3.50 and some lovely earrings for only £2.50! Unfortunately I forgot the name of the shop I bought the necklace from, but the company selling the earrings included a business card in the baggy, so win!</div>

<br />
I was fortunate enough to be sent some Matcha Green Tea from teapigs earlier this week. Because I have been busy with presentations and tonsillitis, I have only just got round to writing my review on this tea! As you may know, I do record tea reviews on YouTube and I will attach it at the end of this blog entry! I also have a discount code for all my readers to get 15% off when buying from <a href="http://www.teapigs.co.uk/">http://www.teapigs.co.uk</a>! So exciting!<br />
<br />

<br />
Matcha tea, according to the lovely little leaflet that was included in my package of tea, is 100% ground green tea leaves that has many health benefits. One cup of matcha is the equivalent to 15 cups of regular green tea in terms of nutritional benefits and vitamins. teapigs claims that matcha tea can boost metabolism and reports is to be the winner of the best slimming and fitness product of 2011 (voted by "Your Healthy Living" readers), so it's perfect for those of you who are desperate to get your beach body!<br />
<br />
The leaflet also boasts of Matcha's "antioxidant power", stating that this tea contains more antioxidants than some of nature's healthiest superfoods, including spinach, blueberries and gojiberries! Matcha tea is also claimed to give you more energy throughout the day and to also relieve you of stress, which would be perfect for me at the moment, while I'm revising for exams!<br />
<br />
I could tell you what other people reported when teapigs asked them to sample Matcha everyday for two weeks, but teapigs does it a lot better.<br />

So when I tried the tea, I made a cup of it and followed the instructions that were sent to me. I put half a teaspoon of the fluorescent green powder into my awesome cup. I then added a little hot water to it and whisked it until it was smooth and proceeded to top up with more hot water at 80 degrees.<br />
<br />
The initial smell of the tea put me off a little bit and I was apprehensive to try it. It smelt like a mixture between seaweed and boiled spinach, but I had no reason to be worried as the tea itself didn't taste like this at all! I have a sweet tooth so I think I would prefer the tea if I added it to a smoothie or to juice, like teapigs also suggests, but the taste of the tea itself isn't too bad at all. It's not sweet enough for my taste, but because it has so many claimed health benefits, I could cope with the lack of sweetness! On the teapigs website, it is also suggested to make the matcha into a shot and to knock it back in one every morning for the health benefits. I would much rather do this too and had I known to do that before doing my video, I would have probably tried it like that in the first place!!<br />

<br />

Just kidding :D ), you will see that I have been on a role with posting videos on there at the moment! For those of you who know me, I hate doing university work, so any chance I can, I will find an excuse to procrastinate big time!!<br />
<br />
But yeah... This week at uni I have had two assessed presentations. One was for German about low-skilled immigrant workers and the other, which was today, was about whether xenophobia (fear of people from another country) was becoming the norm in France or not. Yeah... compelling, I assure you. Anyway! I've had to do these two bloomin' presentations with tonsillitis! I went to the doctors on Wednesday for some antibiotics or something and the doctor (who was very attractive!) said that because it was viral tonsillitis (yeah my tonsils weren't attractive at all...), he couldn't give me any antibiotics for it! I struggled on through... I wasn't really that ill to be fair but seeing Christine recoil from me after seeing my tonsils made me realise that they can't have looked healthy!<br />
<br />
I have recorded two new tea reviews, if you're interested. Both for Twinings tea and I put a sneak-peak at what is to come in the tea review world with my teapigs matcha May post in my last tea review so go and check them out if you'd like!<br />
<br />
So at the end of my last entry, I said that I was going to go and colour my hair! And here is my new hair :D<br />

It's a lot of blue, a bit of purple and even less pink. It's just quite fun and very different to what I did with my hair before. I like it!<br />

I've been back at uni, as I said, and it's the final push before I'm fully graduated and can finally focus fully on my dream of owning a tea room! I keep finding teapots and buying them, ready to decorate my tea room with! I just recently got a new one through and it's gorgeous! I won it off of eBay :) £8 bargain, including P+P!</div>

Speaking of tea (and let's be honest, when do I not??) I've filmed another tea review for you to see! It's not the longest tea review and I recorded it just before I went to bed.<br />

I also contacted <a href="http://www.teapigs.co.uk/" target="_blank">teapigs</a> as they asked for UK-based blogs to email them to ask about Matcha May. So, I will be getting a sample of Matcha tea (details to come in the related post) to review etc. How exciting is that??<br />
<br />
Right, I'm off to colour my hair :D<br />

My sister, Charlotte, and I decided to make chocolate Easter nests on Tuesday! We were in the mood for baking and these delicious nests require the minimal amount of "baking" ever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8MS0wHnEJyfF841bOw3VihldRiQva1ofyT_DXg2yz0kjdcO-Ct0mBKG7YVWOL37P7kW3kMdy9xBHCAAhdNTw3_Rau_Um0ReqxcJgHrsN2qSdfdRAdC0Ye_6m2_P33IXRAfqSyP6HxqXVY/s1600/IMG_2539.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8MS0wHnEJyfF841bOw3VihldRiQva1ofyT_DXg2yz0kjdcO-Ct0mBKG7YVWOL37P7kW3kMdy9xBHCAAhdNTw3_Rau_Um0ReqxcJgHrsN2qSdfdRAdC0Ye_6m2_P33IXRAfqSyP6HxqXVY/s320/IMG_2539.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm clearly a professional food photographer...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know there are many recipes out there to show you how to make these appetising little nests, but I thought I'd share how we made them! None of the measurements are exact as we just did it by eye a lot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Makes 24 Nests</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
200g Milk Chocolate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 g Plain Chocolate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A packet of Rice Krispies (You won't need them all!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 packets of Mini Eggs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, we broke up 200g of milk chocolate and 100g of plain chocolate into a glass, heat-proof bowl. Just use the supermarket's cheapest brand of chocolate as it melts a lot better than the posh, expensive stuff! Put some boiling water in a saucepan, but don't fill it completely. Then place the bowl of tasty chocolate on top of the saucepan, making sure that the chocolate doesn't actually touch the water!</div>

Yuuuuum!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stir the chocolate until it has all melted into a delicious smooth mixture! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I know the following photo still has lumps of chocolate, but we did keep stirring it! It took a lot longer than I thought it would...)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We then bought the supermarket's own brand of Rice Krispies (students on a budget!) and added them into the bowl. There was no exact measuring going on here... I just kept telling Charlotte to add more if I felt it necessary. It's quite easy to tell; if there is a lot of chocolate just existing in the bowl without a job, you need to add more! Stir in the rice krispies until they're all nicely coated with the chocolatey goodness!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After this fun is done, line a cupcake tray with cupcake cases. We made 24 Easter nests out of this batch. Using a couple of teaspoons, spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases and make a little well in the middle of them, to make a nest shape.</div>

We then spoilt ourselves by buying Cadbury's Mini Eggs. Obviously, if you're on a budget, you can buy the cheaper equivalent, but these were on offer! We put two Mini Eggs in each nest, apart from some that had three. I was a bit obsessive about not having matching egg-colours in the nests!</div>

After doing this, just leave them on the side to set, or in the fridge if you're in a rush, then tuck in! The plain chocolate makes them a little more bitter than just milk chocolate, which is a delicious addition!</div>

<br />
So it's been over a month since I last wrote a blog post here but I didn't think anything interesting had happened so I have nothing to report! Uni's been very stressful and my time management is horrible so I've been working my bum off on various assignments!<br />
<br />
I did have time to record a teapigs tea review video! It's not got many views and no one's left me feedback yet so I don't know whether to keep recording them or just leave it at one video and admit defeat...<br />
<br />

I also coloured my hair again. It's purple and pink now, which is pretty aces! The above picture is me dressed up as a Russian aristocrat for a murder mystery party I went to! I actually won by guessing the murderers correctly! The horrendous French accent on the CD was hilarious, especially as some of the people at the party were French too!!<br />

My housemate Christine and I also celebrated the handing in of her 4th assignment in 3 weeks! We couldn't be bothered to mix the amaretto with the coke for each glassful, so the teapot got a different use! And you can't use a teapot without the teacups! We're so classy...</div>

I also sang in a concert! It was called "Last Night of the Spring Proms" and the NTU choir sang with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. We were frequently told that it was a "once in a lifetime opportunity" and we performed a world première of Paul Carr's Ave Maria! He dedicated it to us and was apparently very moved by the performance we gave. </div>

I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful place and I didn't want to leave! I decided for definite that I want to open tea rooms when I'm older and my parents actually support my decision, which is amazing.<br />
<br />
So, onto the photos! We were blessed with gorgeous weather when we went to Bakewell, so that may have influenced, or at least encouraged, my love for the place. It is situated on the River Wye in the Derbyshire Dales and, according to Wikipedia, it is the only town included in the Peak District National Park. Every photo included in this post are my own :)<br />

And, of course, what with Bakewell being famous for its puddings and tarts, I had to have a cup of tea and a slice of Bakewell tart! It would have been criminal otherwise! I have included a link to a recipe for a Bakewell tart for those of you who don't know what one is! <a href="http://britishfood.about.com/od/cakesandbaking/r/Bakewelltart.htm" target="_blank">Just click here to go to the recipe :)</a><br />

This was in the window of the tea rooms we went to for our tea and tart. You're able to post a tart to anywhere in the country, which I just thought was awesome! The café was called <a href="http://bakewelltartshop.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Bakewell Tart Shop</a>.</div>

This tea cosy and stacked teacups were in a window of a cute shop, and I decided that I had to take a photo, along with the photo underneath, which was also in the window of the shop!</div>

There was a craft fair on in the scout hut on the day that we went there so Mum and I made a beeline for it, as I get my love of crafts from her! On one stall, a company called <a href="http://www.diamondlils.co.uk/" target="_blank">Diamond Lil's</a> was selling adorable hairclips and brooches. I wanted to buy them all but in the end I settled for this gorgeous little gingerbread man hairclip!<br />
<br />
But yes, that was my summary of my day in Bakewell. It's such a beautiful place. If you have the opportunity to go, make sure you let me know so I can come with you :P I'm just joking! But seriously, you should go if you can. It's gorgeous!<br />

I know, I have no excuse for not having posted yet in the month of February and I judge myself highly for it so don't you worry! I do have some excuses though and you'll see in this picture-filled blog just what I've been up to during my absence.<br />

I went to Exeter two weeks ago to visit the boyfriend as I had a week off of uni! It was so lovely to see him again and we had a lovely time together. We went to the Quay in Exeter and I had a cream tea! When in Devon...<br />

That is a cream tea for one... Look at the size of that teapot! It's absolutely massive. Perfect for a tea lover although I did think I was competing in a tea-drinking contest. The weather was gorgeous though which made the quay look so beautiful.</div>

I also rediscovered my love for crochet when I was in Exeter! The boyfriend was on teaching practice all day so I had to entertain myself somehow and who would choose to do uni work? I've made myself a hat and 3 headbands at the moment.<br />

Oh I also changed my hair colour. I bleached my roots as they seriously needed doing, which is why I'm blonde in a picture. It didn't stick around for long though although I did love the blonde! The green I had in my hair before didn't completely come out so I'll have to wait a month until I can rebleach it and hopefully get it completely blonde :)</div>

I'm so sorry it's been 10 days since I last wrote but it's been manic at the moment! It's deadline time at uni so I've been working my bum off to get work done (or trying to at least...) which hasn't left me much time for blogging I'm afraid! Last deadline for this semester is Wednesday so I'll be back to posting regularly after that.<br />
<br />
I went to Cheltenham Racecourse on Saturday and it was so much fun! I got to meet members of the boyfriend's family whom I'd not met before and don't worry, I apparently made a good impression. The ticket that we had included two £5 betting vouchers, so although I only won £6.50, I didn't lose any money, which is something I really can't complain about.This is the horse that won my boyfriend £12. Only a couple of the jockeys fell off their horses, but luckily no one, including the horses, were seriously hurt. It was a lovely weekend break away from the stresses of university and I got to see the boyfriend again, which was wonderful!<br />

I bought a new dress for the occasion, although I didn't wear this to the races, I wore it when I went out for a meal that evening. It's not something I'd usually go for, so I was really pleased when I found it and discovered it fitted me! Sorry for the awful changing-room-picture! It's the only one I have; I'm terrible at taking photos at the moment!<br />

It's a lovely mint-green colour! I love it. I'll be able to wear it in the evenings and in the days when the weather picks up in the summer!<br />
<br />
As you may know, I am a little obsessed with drinking tea. Imagine my delight when I came home to a massive box with "Teapigs" written on the side! I quickly opened it up to discover an amazing gift from my sister:<br />

<br />
11 different sorts of tea (one of the flavours has been doubled up because it's chocolate :P ) and each tiny packet has two teabags in! I think I may have to start doing weekly tea reviews, both on here and on <a href="http://youtube.com/hananathebanana" target="_blank">my YouTube channel</a> (that I have been abandoning lately... I really need to get back on that!)<br />
<br />
I'm off to see the boyfriend in Exeter on Friday and I'm really excited to get almost a full week with him :D I'll be working on my dissertation too so I won't be relaxing, but I'll try to keep you updated on what's going on in the week with more photo-fun!<br />

I didn't even have to look outside to know what was going on... That's how rare snow is here. We (as a general rule) get far too excited about it, although I am sick of it and I wish I wasn't scared to walk somewhere without falling over! Anyway, we've had more snow here than we did on Monday. It was worse at home ("home" being near Portsmouth) which is ironic as I always thought the "north" had more snow!<br />

My week hasn't been an exciting one. I was ill on Tuesday so had to skip my class, which was annoying. I must have had a stomach bug or something... Definitely not a hangover! Wednesday was also uneventful but I did have choir. I have missed singing a lot. I sang at church over Christmas a fair amount so I feel like I've been deprived a bit!<br />
<br />
I have been obsessively watching Daria again on Netflix after my boyfriend told me it was there! I know that it's not going to get my essay written, but I can't help it. It's so addictive. I'm already over halfway through the second series and I only started watching them on Wednesday!<br />

I re-coloured my hair yesterday. I used Directions Atlantic Blue over the colours I already had, which has left the front more purple and the back a greeny-blue. I have included an obligatory tea-drinking photo which shows my hair in terrible light...</div>

Saw the most awesome packaging ever today. French bread pizza. As a concept, not too exciting. Stick a moustache on the packaging and I just had to waste £1.29 on one! It's yet to be eaten... I think I'll treat myself to it tomorrow.</div>

<br />
It all kicked off in the house after I wrote my blog post on Friday night. SO MUCH NOISE but hey, they were drunk and I'm sure I've been like that before so I don't have a problem with it. It does mean that I was knackered (very tired) on Saturday and needed cheering up. I went into the town and did a bit of shopping!<br />
<br />

I saw this tshirt and cardigan in H&M and knew that I had to have it! Especially as it really wasn't expensive... I decided that I don't have enough icecream or cupcake-based clothing in my life and that really needs to change! This cardigan looks like mint choc-chip icecream! Yuuuum!<br />
<br />
After a lazy day yesterday, it started to snow! Woke up this morning and it was still snowing. All through my German class this morning it was STILL snowing! I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to get home, but I should have had faith in the English weather as it was sunny by the time I needed to leave uni.<br />

We don't get that much snow in England so whenever we do, it's a definite novelty! Everything stops though too... If it kept snowing, buses and trains would stop therefore classes would have to be cancelled etc etc... We can't seem to function normally if the rain decides to freeze! One of my housemates took some good pictures of the snow so I'll have to share them with you at some point :)<br />
<br />
I hope that you all have had a lovely day so far and that the weather hasn't affected you too much! I'm now going to have a lovely cup of tea to warm myself up :)<br />

And my evening.Well it's time for me to introduce myself to you. If you've been reading my blog since I started it last week, which I suspect no one has been following it religiously, then I'm sure you're wondering who Hanana the Banana really is, and whether she is actually a banana!<br />
<br />
Sorry to disappoint you. I am not some magical banana who has hands.<br />

This is me. The aim of this picture was to show off my hair, hence the two images next to each other... But yes.<br />
<br />
Hi. My name is Hannah. I am 22 years old and I am a student currently studying German with French in Nottingham, England. I am like any typical student, as in I'm far too stressed some of the time, far too laid back some of the time, or far too drunk to care the rest of the time! I have many interests which include hair, makeup, crafting and singing. I make friendship bracelets and run a (very) small business called <a href="http://bananabracelets.storenvy.com/" target="_blank">Banana Bracelets</a>.<br />
<br />
I dye my hair frequently and I'm sure you will see a hair timeline at some point as I have had many colours and colour-combinations! The above colour was for Christmas, but I will be re-colouring it soon as I'm getting really bored of it. I am also interested in piercings and other body modifications. I've not done any of my piercings myself, don't you worry, and I'm still deciding what I should have as my first tattoo!<br />
<br />
If you have any questions to ask me, please feel free to leave me a comment asking me!<br />
<br />
So it was my housemate, Matt's, birthday today (11th Jan) and he reached the age of 22. He is naturally very drunk at the moment as he had some mates up to celebrate tonight. I'm off alcohol at the moment so I decided to save my money and call it a night after the first bar we went to!<br />
<br />
Christine and I made Matt a birthday brownie yesterday! It's SO delicious. I almost can't believe I made something that delicious myself! (With Christine's help, of course...) Maybe I'll post the recipe I used here soon :)<br />

I really need to stop biting my nails...<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am now tucked up in bed, in my pyjamas, with a cup of camomile with spiced apple tea, watching Love Never Dies, which my best friend (also called Hannah!) bought me for Christmas. It's SO delicious and I'll write about the Love Never Dies DVD in tomorrow's entry :D<br />

January turns out to be the month of deadlines. It is also the month I decide to get my first cold in 2 years... Good timing body!<br />
<br />
I went out on Saturday night with some of my housemates. I say this now as a piece of news because I looked through the photos from the night this evening, and some of them are hilarious!! I literally don't understand how we function sometimes! I think it's safe to come to the conclusion that we all need to drink a lot less... Good thing I've given up alcohol now!<br />

This is me. My hair is actually more pink, but that's fine... Note the attractive colour of my tongue from too many double vodka and diet cokes!</div>

Uni started back on Monday. That was a delight... I had a French presentation where I expressed my views on gay marriage for about 20 minutes. It went surprisingly well actually! Today I've just been working on German work that I have due in tomorrow but that's nothing interesting.</div>

I've actually had a productive day today. Not as productive as I would have liked but you know, beggars can't be choosers and all that jazz. The first productive thing I did was tidying some of my room. Note the some... My room still looks like a bomb's hit it but it's still a vast improvement on what it was.<br />
<br />
I then did my makeup all nicely because I was fed up of looking at my room and fancied a change of scenery. I only went into the town centre but it was still nice as it cleared my head.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Seee, it's all nice and greeny. I find it fun to play with makeup and I had a colour similar to this in my Meat Loaf tshirt that I was wearing. *Stop talking about makeup!*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another thing I did was find Monkey's non-Christmas jumper. Monkey is my toy monkey that can't be naked. I used to make him tshirts out of socks and my mum started to knit him jumpers! He only has two at the moment, but when I improve (or find a pattern as mum just makes them up!) then Monkey can have a larger wardrobe :P</div>

Thought I'd include a picture of Monkey's two jumpers. They're so adorable. Yeah... he kinda looks old and "well-loved" but he is! I can't get over how talented my mum is :D</div>

The final and probably most productive thing I did today was write a 1000-word German essay about location factors that businesses have to consider when setting up a factory... *snooooore*! Yeah. SO boring. We'll see how I did though... Probably not that well to be honest but I'm alright with that.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been watching My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding, the American series. I can't get over how young these girls get married. One episode, a 17-year-old girl marries a boy of 18 years whom she'd only met twice prior to the wedding!! INSANE! I'll tell you what else is insane too, the size of these dresses!!</div>

They're AWESOME! Those dresses must weigh a tonne though. I feel sorry for them when they talk about the bruises they get on their hips! The girl in pink is only 14 and the party she went to was so she could look for her husband... I'm 22! I'm not ready to think about marriage yet!</div>

I have 6 pieces of work that I need to do for the next couple of weeks, as well as my dissertation. As you'll soon discover, I am one for leaving things until the last minute! I guess I just work best under pressure... Or that's what I tell myself anyway!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst procrastinating, I have been browsing blogs, and particularly crafting blogs. I am quite into craft myself and love to see what wonderful things other people have made!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One blog that I have spent most of today going through every page, is <a href="http://blog.twinkiechan.com/" target="_blank">Twinkie Chan</a>. Her motto is "Eat your cake & wear it, too!" That basically sums up her work! This talented crochet-queen makes gorgeous food-based accessories, such as ice cream hair clips and cupcake scarves! I ordered her book today so hopefully that will be coming through in the next couple of days.</span><br />
