Lately I have been attending sylvia youngs workshops and I Love it!! it's one of londons top performing arts schools and wow by far does if deserve this title! I am within the part time school so I perform alongside adults! Lights camara action! I act in there studios and during the workshops I have had to do a range of scenes to really broaden my experiences! I only attend once a week but each time I go, I hear pianos playing, feet dancing, children singing, red coats swaying, audition rooms booming, everyone smiling, people walking, tap feet tapping, ballet bars moving, performers gleaming, pencils writing, confidence gleaming and friendly attitudes all around, this is all within the space of an afternoon xoxo

'kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see!'
After browsing the internet with my other half for possible presents and cards for birthday month! we come across a card company called 'color cards' and after a few exchanged messages and tweets I was privileged to be asked to write a review! normally when asked to write a review I usually think over night about it, and find myself asking myself the same question 'does it fit my blog theme'? However with Color Blind Cards I knew it was a YES from the moment I read the message!
