We had our photo taken with him and he even gave us a cheeky </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">nod from the stage. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="text-decoration: none;">I don't know about you, but once I find a perfume I love I tend to be pretty loyal and wear nothing else so you can imagine how upset I was to discover that my absolute favourite perfume, the one I have worn since I was fifteen had been discontinued. I have been wearing Anna Sui – Sui Dreams (the handbag shaped bottle) for so long, I cannot remember wearing anything other and I absolutely cannot find anything that smells even a tiny bit similar - if anyone knows of anything please let me know! I am watching several bottles on Ebay but unfortunately for me they're going for insane prices which I really cannot justify spending right now. </span></i><br />

<i><span style="text-decoration: none;">Despite feeling pretty let down by Anna Sui for her decision to get rid of this beautiful vanilla based scent, I decided that perhaps this could be seen as a positive change. Almost nine whole years have passed since I started wearing that perfume, so perhaps it is time for a change. Over the past three weeks I bought three new scents to test out and see which one is my best fit.</span></i><br />

<i><span style="text-decoration: none;">I have always admired this sweet perfume ever since I first met one of my best friends Nicola who always wears it. It's quite pricey but I managed to blag a bottle at a very reasonable price via Ebay. My favourite flower is the daisy and so I suppose that this is only apt. I adore it's spring daisy scent and the bottle is just so pretty. I think this is probably my favourite of the three so perhaps this will be my new signature scent. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="text-decoration: none;">I love Orla Kiely! Her work is just so sweet and her fragrance is no different. This is a lovely everyday perfume and is again quite a florally scent with a hint of chocolate. It's a little less subtle than the Daisy perfume and I have had several compliments already. I do love this perfume, but I just don't know if it's quite me, though I'd definitely use it every so often for something a little different. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="text-decoration: none;">I picked this out because I'd been given it for Christmas when I was younger but couldn't remember it's smell. I think perhaps I naively thought (hoped) perhaps it would smell similar to it's sister scent. Unfortunately it smells nothing alike, despite this it is a very pretty scent with a spicy edge because it has notes of cinnamon. I don't think I'll be buying this scent again, but I am in love with the unusual bottle.</span></i></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Joseph Kony is the vile guerilla leader behind the bloodthirsty and murderous Ugandan rebel group, the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army). Kony is the head of a violent campaign which worryingly, is not fighting for a single cause. For the past twenty six years, he has abducted thousands of Ugandan children often killing their family members and neighbours, multilating peoples faces and forcing the girls into sex slavery and the boys into his army where they are forced into being cold blooded killers, many being forced to murder their parents, siblings and other members of their families. Shockingly we are not talking small numbers here, Kony has reportedly abducted over 30,000 children for his army. The thing is, that despite this appaulling situation Joseph Kony still remains uncaptured and unpunished for his crimes and so Ugandan children live in fear of being captured like many before them and many of them are constantly on the run from their homes in order to retain their freedom, witnessing many horrors in the process. </i></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>The viral features many heartwrenching facts that are unbeknown to the majority of peopleoutside of Uganda. The documentaries creator, Joseph Russell shares with us the many crimes of Joseph Kony. We are introduced to Russells' son Gavin (possibly the cutest child I've ever seen), one of the main reasons Russell has created this film and charity in the hope of it leading to the capture of Joesph Kony by the end of 2012, is to be one step closer in creating a better future world for his son and other children around the world. Russell also introduces us to a friend Jacob, whom he met ten years ago in Uganda where Jacob was running for his life, and rebelling from Konys' army with hundreds of other terrified children. At such a young age, Jacob had already witnessed many horrific things we could not even begin to comprehend, such as the brutal murder of his brother. As a young Jacob shared more and more of his story with Russell, he utters words far beyond anything a young child should even begin to understand, that he would rather be dead than live in the way that he was. This was when a promise was made by Russell and his team, to do whatever they could to end the stop Kony and his guerilla army, which is what he has spent nine years campaigning for and the reason this video has been created. They have already helped to rebuild schools, raise money and awareness, create jobs, and change the lives of so many, even building an early warning radio transmitter to alert as many people as possible of Konys' approaching army. Once they had raised initial awareness and gained the support of so many people from around the world, President Obama has now made a huge step in the fight against Kony and has committed a hundred US troops into aiding the fight and arresting Kony. Kony has since changed tactics, and is proving harder and harder to locate. </i></span></div>

There are many conflicting opinions on the cause, some in full support, some who are completely against the charity due to claims of unfair distribution of the money they raise and others who strangely, seem to be angry at those who are "jumping on the band wagon" as it were. To those people I say, yes perhaps some people did not know a thing about this disgusting man or the charities who are working to capture him before this viral, and perhaps yes many people will click 'share' without understanding fully about Joseph Kony, but surely regardless of how much prior knowledge you had or did not have, the video is serving it's purpose, and suceeding greatly in spreading a hugely touching message. Since Tuesday (06/03/2012) when the Invisible Childrens online pledge went live online a massive 105,000 signatures have already been collected, and it has already gained 250,000 likes on Facebook. Whether you knew about Joseph Kony before the launch of Kony 2012, or whether you have been touched enough by the cause potrayed in the viral to spread the word, PLEASE keep clicking share and together we can help to fulfil the wishes of Joseph Russell in making Joesph Kony famous.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br />
</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>1. Make sure you take lots of change - most thrift stores do not accept card payments.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>2. Be patient and make sure you have plenty of time to rummage.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>3. Don't waste your money on things you lust after on a whim - I used to do this so often, and now I am much more careful over what I buy, I just don't have the storage space. </i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>4. Don't be disheartened if one week you find nothing, but the week before you've found an absolute peach. This happens often, but there's always amazing new things appearing in these stores on a daily to weekly basis.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>5. Give yourself a spending limit - this will help you be much more careful over what you purchase and will often help filter out the things you want on a whim but will regret later. </i></span><br />
