Whilst representing in
Ayia Napa (for example, remember the ?), earlier this year I soon realised that one of my roles here at 1Xtra was not to simply present a Breakfast show, but also to morph into some kind of 1X mascot, wherever I was sent in the world I would end up doing tasks & challenges of the most ridiculous nature.. Much to the amusement of fellow 1X DJs and hopefully you too? Don't get me wrong, I get a strange competitive satisfaction out of rising to the challenge and it means that I find myself in the most bizarre situations. So this time round I was sent northwards to be set three challenges by the Deputy Mayor himself in return for the key to the city!
If you weren't listening to the breakfast show on Friday morning then you're gonna have to wait to see what those challenges were I'm afraid... Video still to come...
Plus watch this space for outfit changes and some special personal moments from 1Xtra Live.
There's loads to tell you, but if honest...... I'M CREAM CRACKERED and must go home & snooze.

After arriving in a teddy bear T-shirt, which I wasn't completely opposed to, we had some fun with some .... But eventually....
Taddaaa! The reinvention of Jam! I felt like I wanted to connect Mistajam to the street, where the biggest look on road is a which I decided to take to the next level with matching (inspired by the lovely Tinchy Stryder), add a pair of (to be worn at all times!) and if you look close enough you'll see his trainers are called . Amazing!
? Verdicts please????

As I'm learning more and more, even as a radio presenter it's important too maintain a half decent look - not only do we have a ridiculous amount of gorgeously turned out guests coming by to visit us all the time butÌýwe currently have - 1Xtra Live to think about! We delved into my fahion resources and fixed up Trevor Nelson in preparation.
What do you think of Trev's new looks? Orginally I tried to go for a ,and though I adored him in a developments led too a more coutesy of the vintage . I would love it it Trev announced to Dizzee to 12,000 people in this outfit of Sat!
To find out what I did to Mistajam then watch this space...

My latest obsession officially consists of N-Dubz, you might think I'm a little late? BUT, awareness and obsession are quite different things..
Three things you should maybe do today:
1. Listen again to N-Dubz talking about the charts being dominated by X Factor and manufactured pop and how Dappy spent New Years Eve stuck in Serbia. Click on the above link and fast forward too: 1:38.25.
2. Enjoy 'Switch Live' cause it was brilliant!
3. Get Bully proof and feel strong with the help of our new campaign.
Enjoy.

Ah, I like going in to see to Jo Whiley on a Saturday afternoon to indulge in a girly chat about nice clothes and things...
We just talked about our
Top Of The Shops - with an online twist...Basically, the top 3 websites that are currently blowing my fashion mind...
1.
- If you fancied wiggling your bum at a party in top notch designer dress that Jessica Alba once wore on the red carpet then get involved (nobody needs to know!) Girl Meets Dress gives you the opportunity to hire one for an eve or two.
2. - Susie Bubble offloads her every fashion musing, thought and discovery from the underground of the fashion world and beyond, it's great for inspiration and regular fashion news - FOR FREE!
3. - If you are a magpie like me, this site will excite you intensely. You can get pretty much whatever you fancy completly encrusted with trinkets and sparkles galore... Prices start at around £25 for some sparkly shades...
Have a good weekend.

What happend when two of the non-orginal members of the Sugababes line up come by the 1Xtra Breakfast studio? We grill them, that's what...
To find out if Jade feels guilty about the much publicised quick 'Keisha' replacement...
I couldn't resist auditioning to be a Sugarbabe myself for next time maybe? Radio 1's Fearne Cotton also gave it a go, and our very own Max.... If you're brave enough to listen to our audition feel free to have a listen.

Though I'm not a massive sports head, I knew the sheer importance of this morning's guest by how twitchy and excited Trevor was getting from the moment I saw him first thing, too her arrival. By the time she did arrive, the studio was rammed with people (strangely all men) that were milling around pretending to do things but wanted to catch a glimpse of the Tennis beauty.Ìý She also played tennisÌýagainst Trevor on the Wii during the news... Guess what... TREVOR BEAT HER!
I especially liked finding out about her life away from the racket.. Serena fans, have a listen below!

Check out their joint performance in this vid....
Hope y'all enjoy it! Sarah xx (breakfast show production crew)
