    <title>natwood's Journals on Buzznet</title>
    <description><![CDATA[hii i'm natalie wood, or nat as you probably know me, and i'm the co-owner of livid thorn! i'm the graphic designer/illustrator/web designer. i'm 22 and i love my life. i graduated with a degree in graphic design in 2008. i was never in uni though because i was running my company! i decided to set up livid thorn because i was accelerating at graphic design and illustration far faster than the course i was studying could handle. so yes i'm basically self-taught.

my average day is spent drawing, designing, listening to louddd music in the livid thorn office, whilst drinking an insane amount of cups of tea. i don't drink alcohol too often and i never take drugs. those are my life choices and i intend to stick by them. my company is my life, passion and everything in between. i never get time to relax anymore, but i don't really care, i love what i do...and it's even more awesome that i get to do it with my bfforevvverr.. cez!]]></description>

	      <link>http://natwood.buzznet.com/user/journal/3826501/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/7/2/6/2/5/8/1/orig-7262581.jpg" border="0"><br><div style="text-align: left;"><br>Yeahh they came!! Other than Macbeth shoes (and the occasional pair of Vans slip-ons)..Nike's are the only brand of shoe I wear and I &lt;3 them. I've ordered custom Nike's before but these are my favourite by far. I designed them to match the new <a href="http://www.lividthorn.com/smoothiesweatshirt.html">Smoothies Are Rawrsome</a> sweatshirt which is my favourite Livid Thorn product this winter and they have <span style="font-weight: bold;">Livid Thorn</span> all up the side of them (of course). I always get Dunks and Cez gets Air Force 1's. These are my favourite ever now though, my favourite color is purple and blue is a close second...so win's all around.<br><br>What shoes do you love to wear the most?! Comment me!<br><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/lividthorn/natsigns.jpg"></div></div>]]></description>

	      <title><![CDATA[Watching Friends!]]></title>
	      <link>http://natwood.buzznet.com/user/journal/3665041/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/6/8/5/5/4/6/1/orig-6855461.jpg" border="0"><br></div><br>So I've been working my way through all the Friends Seasons recently. I'm up to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Season 5</span> now (as you can see).. I took that picture about 2 mins ago! I always felt like I'd never watched that many episodes of Friends, yet whenever I catch it on TV..I've always already seen it. Haha. So I figured I'd have a Friends marathon whilst in the office and at home. I've been working on a lot of design lately, and I always love to have a good TV show on, or a good movie (if I'm not listening to music). I guess stuff like that is kind of like inspiration! It helps me work anyway. But it's also about the only chance I get to watch stuff. I wish I did have time to actually stop once in a while and sit down to watch something, but then I love what I do and I still get to watch awesome TV..so winwin!!<br><br>My favourite character in Friends has to be <span style="font-weight: bold;">Monica</span>. She's just too much like me, Cez finds it funny how much we're alike! I'm probably as neurotic as she is with tidiness though to be fair. Chandler's pretty funny though.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">So, who is your favourite character in Friends?</span> Drop me a note, or comment this blog!<br><br><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/lividthorn/natsigns.jpg" border="0"><br><br>]]></description>

	      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Look what came in the mail for me the other day! New Moon! I took this picture about 5 mins ago. So as you can see I'm at home right now in my room.<br><br></div><img src="http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/6/7/8/8/2/5/1/orig-6788251.jpg" border="0"><br><br><div style="text-align: left;">I'd had this book on order for so long I'd almost forgotten.. and then it came through my door. That book is actually meaning I hardly get any sleep ever! <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I already stay up until 2am most nights</span> running my company. But on top of that..I'm now reading until 4am and then up at 8am! I don't usually get time to fit in reading (and if fact I probably don't have time right now either) but I loveloveloved that movie and now I wanna read all of the books.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 415px; height: 299px;" src="http://filmonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/twilight1.jpg" border="0"><br></div><br><br>I know you guys have probably already read it a million times over. But don't spoil it for me! I'm only about a quarter of the way through! Lol.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Did you see Twilight at the movies yet?</span> If you did..comment me and tell me what you thought!<br><br><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/lividthorn/natsigns.jpg" border="0"><br></div></div>]]></description>

	      <title><![CDATA[Eating Things!]]></title>
	      <link>http://natwood.buzznet.com/user/journal/3628121/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[I decided to dedicate this whole entry to cute food I like! My latest picture actually shows me eating my first ever bowl of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lucky Charms</span>!<br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 254px; height: 346px;" src="http://www.wackypackages.org/realproductsscans/2005/luckycharms.jpg" border="0"><br></div>I know you guys in the US can't believe I've never had them before..but they're really rare here in the UK, and they cost loads more too because they're imported all the way here! I'm a sucker for awesome packaging though. I love bright colors and cute graphics. <br><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/6/7/6/8/7/5/1/orig-6768751.jpg" border="0"><br></div><br><br>I'm currently obsessed with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Smarties Bars</span>. They seem to have re-appeared on the shelves in the shops. When I was in college they were in a machine and I pretty much bought one every day. I don't know why I never put on weight from eating so much crap..Cez is always saying that! I really do live on junk food though. It's probably gonna catch up with me when I'm about 40! <br><br>I love typically American packaging. It's always so shiny and happy. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ben &amp; Jerrys</span> is the epitome of American-goodness.<br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 293px; height: 329px;" src="http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/07/0706_brandsurvey/image/8-bohemianraspberry.jpg" border="0"><br></div><br><br>I also managed to find some <span style="font-weight: bold;">Willy Wonka's Nerds</span> aswell! They sell them in Selfridges...along with the Lucky Charms. I used to have these when I was a kid. I remember they used to have them at School Disco's in a little tuck-shop. I probably only went to the disco to grab these tasty treats..<br><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRoADbB-BFA/RsTQ_yqR75I/AAAAAAAAADY/nvFeekCrqRY/s320/nerdsvariety.jpg" border="0"><br></div>Cez bought me a tonnnnnn of Nerds for Christmas. They're awesome. You should definitely try them if you can get hold of them somewhere. I love vintage old-style packaging too. I always keep tins of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lyle's Golden Syrup</span>. They just look too classy to be recycled and made into a crummy soda can!<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.bestofbritish.com.au/Uploads/Images/golden-syrup.jpg" border="0"><br></div><br><br>I've got a whole book about old food packaging. Most of the stuff in it is from 1950s America. There's some more modern candy in there. I know that if I visited the US..I'd end up spending all my money on cute candy! <br><br>I think my love for cute food and packaging inspires a lot of my design work as well. Especially this shirt I designed for Livid Thorn:<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/6/7/6/8/9/4/1/orig-6768941.jpg" border="0"><br></div><br><br>Anyway..to finish off..here's a load of other nice candy I love.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><br><img style="width: 307px; height: 222px;" src="http://express.howstuffworks.com/gif/candy-rocks.jpg" border="0"><img style="width: 245px; height: 245px;" src="http://content2.myyearbook.com/zenhex/images/quiz77/380593/380593_res4_pez.jpg" border="0"><br><img style="width: 312px; height: 234px;" src="http://www.treasureislandsweets.co.uk/acatalog/melody_pops.jpg" border="0"><img style="width: 219px; height: 269px;" src="http://crownstarfoods.com/images/jumpinpp24.gif" border="0"><br><br><br><br><div style="text-align: left;">Love you guys!<br><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/lividthorn/natsigns.jpg" border="0"><br>xx<br></div></div>]]></description>

	      <link>http://natwood.buzznet.com/user/journal/3618681/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[So I actually picked up Buzznet pretty quick! Made myself a cute layout and I've uploaded my first Buzznet exclusive picture, which is this one..<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 343px; height: 456px;" src="http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/natwood/default/Lollipoppp--large-msg-123170489131.jpg" border="0"><br><br></div>This picture is actually a sneak preview of the new pics that we're gonna be putting on the new Livid Thorn site. The new site is in progress and we're hoping to launch it within the next 1-2 months. It's gonna be bigger, better and overall more fun! We do love fun here at Livid Thorn. We had so much fun doing the photoshoot for the picture above. I ended up eating that lollipop afterwards too, haha. It was actually a lollipop that Cez had bought me agees ago as a gift.<br><br>Speaking of gifts..here's some of the awesome vinyl toys Cez bought me for Christmas this year. My little Mozzarella is adorable (he's the cow-like one). Lol at the fact that I set up a mini-photoshoot for them. I love taking pictures.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_33JprTbieSw/SVfBdgrpMhI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/ksMdwYJxRKY/s400/102_4920.JPG" border="0"><br></div><br>Anyway, we've just had a MASSIVE delivery here at the Livid Thorn office, and we've got about a days worth of garments to check over and fold up. We're also dispatching hundreds of pre-orders that we received in the last day. Exciting times in the world of Livid Thorn..so stay tunedd!<br><br>lovelove!<br><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/lividthorn/natsigns.jpg" border="0"><br>xx<br>]]></description>
