My Instagram Life 2#

So hi...

Another Instagram post here today!
The idea of these posts is to show what I've been posting and doing on instagram in terms of portraying how well life is going but at the same time get real with you and say the things that weren't so picture perfect that have happened. Super real, Super honest, that's these posts.

My instagram has kept the theme of food selfies and drawings like last month but with a few more selfies!
I've been feeling selfie strong the last few weeks, well it terms of my face anyway. Body wise I've been a bit down and have started changes to get a little healthier and lose weight, as currently I just can't say I'm happy.
My drawings have been progressing really well, the copic markers I've bought are amazing and I've starting to draw sketches and drawings the way I want first time without having to erase and re draw a 10000 times, it's been a great motivator and confidence booster.
The lack of drawings however has been due to assignment period, the last 3 weeks has been a big stress to hand in and complete three different assignments all within a very short amount of time from each other, the university didn't really plan it out very well and It's cause a load of stress for a number of students.
My sleep schedule has also been awful still, I'm either not sleeping or sleeping for an hour or so at random points in the day, it's to the stage where I'm planning to see a doctor about it as it's past the stage of normal, I was awake for nearly 40 hours without feeling too sleepy this week and it was very weird. (I'm also writing this at 5am, yay).
and that's my instagram life recently.

How has the last few weeks been for you?

March Goals: 2016

So hi...

Damn man, we're already onto the third month of the year, feels like the year has only just started! With university especially it's felt like our assignments have come around just a little too quick!
But anyway, lets try and be positive and set myself some goals for march.

March goals. ft random doodle...

-Start listening to an educational or interesting podcast.
  -I've been looking around at a few podcasts I could try and get into and I want to get into the habit of listening to them in the mornings and on the walks to and from uni, just as a way to stimulate my mind while doing other things and keeping myself informed about the world.
Podcasts I'm looking into:
-TED Talks
-BBC: The Inquiry
-More or Less: Behind the stats.
-It's a Crime: with Margaret Mclean
-Spark London
-Answer me this

-Continue walking to University.
  - I've been pretty good with this to be honest I at least walk to university 3 out of the 4 times I'm in, which I think is pretty good, I'd like to try walk everyday however, at least to uni, walking back however will be a slow process, we'll get there.

-Stay Engaged and up to date with University work.
 -I've been pretty damn good this term with keeping on top of my work, I made a promise to myself to do the extra reading and make sure I do my notes because I'm not doing this course because I was forced, I do enjoy it. It's just like I have the high school mentality of education sucks because that was how everyone acts, when honestly, I love my course, although there are definitely boring parts, on a whole it's enjoyable. I want to keep enjoying & actually put in all I have to my work, because honestly, I don't remember the last time I gave my all.

-Complete 5-10 digital drawings and continue to improve.
  - I'm absolutely loving drawing digitally, with each piece I start or even complete I'm finding new ways to do things and experimenting with my art and how to improve it, it's so enjoyable and I am so inspired to keep creating.

-Find some sort of working sleeping pattern.
  - I've never been great when it comes to sleeping, I'm definitely a night owl by nature (Currently writing this at 5.23am, have yet to sleep) well maybe more an 'AM' Owl. I have always struggled to sleep, but recently it's becoming a whole new board game.
Although previously I wouldn't get to sleep easily, I would still get about 7 hours sleep at least, the last few months, well the whole of 2016 so far I'm lucky to get 4 hours sleep. Now I am someone who doesn't need much sleep, if I sleep too long I tend to feel super groggy and get headaches, but 2/3 hours is a bit too little. So I need to work out the best times and methods to get me into some form of sleeping routine.

-Read (Before bed). 
 - I think this is forever on my goals as I am never quite satisfied with how little I read in my young adult years when I was such an eager reader as a kid who could easily read a decent sized book in a matter of days. I also don't want to read online either, as nice and convenient as laptops and the internet is, I like my pen and paper, I like written up notes and hard copies of books, it's just more appealing to me. So I want to return to the habit of my child hood of reading 5/6 book chapters a night.

Those are all my goals for march, they are all very personal development based and aren't really strictly for the month of march as much as they are goals to achieve and keep achieving at but that's all I'd like for this month.

What are your goals or aims for the month of March?

Monthly Round up: February 2016

So hi...

This year so far has been a bit of a whirlwind. It felt like it was a little slow the first week of January but so got going. February has definitely continued that trend, I think it's a mixture of the increased amount of work at uni in 2nd year as well as kinda waiting around for the holiday at the end of march and the foals gig at the end of feb.

It'a been a pretty decent month, I had a really hectic last week due to my bank cards being swallowed by an ATM for no reason and then a passport loss scare ( which I was able to find thank god!) but those issues were resolved and I'm feeling pretty positive! I got a few art pieces done, all fanart of the Game Undertale, which wasn't planned but oh well. I got my first qwertee haul ( here) and got some awesome clothes and the end of feb I went to a gig which is always fun.
Now we are onwards and upwards to March, I already have paintballing planned as well as the weekend trip to Dublin as well which I am literally so excited for!

How was your February? and what plans do you have for March?

It's a struggle.

So hi....

This isn't going to be a very well done post, it's very impromptu and I'm literally writing it and posting it, bam done.

I just wanted to say sorry to those who do read my blog, as I've been lacking time energy and serious motivation to get my posts written and done. It's not even a matter of a lack of post ideas and inspiration, I have the ideas and plans, I really wanted to post daily september and well that was a fail. I seriously under estimated how much time it would take me to settle at uni, we're nearly a month in and I still haven't gotten into a proper routine, although this week is definitely my calmest since Ive moved back.
But I'm apart of 3/4 Different societies whch I'm trying to stay active and committed in, as well as 3 assignments already set and still recovering from my injury which leaves me quite tired quite quickly. All this just leaves me lacking in everything really, and I'm struggling to make time for my blog.

SO I just want to say here that for this week, I will be having a break, Writing up posts slowly and preparing them, With the hopes that starting next week, or maybe even the weekend I can start rolling out my posts again. I still have the #WestmidlandsBloggerMeet to tell you guys about and a super Exciting NEXT lingerie Event I was lucky enough to attend, But that is for next week.

I hope you guys can understand, and I'm thankful to every person that takes the time to read this little space of the internet of mine. I really do love my blog and the blogging community and I want to enjoy it again soon.

Thanks for reading!

2nd Year Uni aims

So hi...

With one week of uni done with, now starts the real business where the subject content starts and we get right into working on assessments and preparing for exams in January. Now that I'm starting my second year as well I have a much better Idea of what to expect and have a few goals and aims I want to achieve, built off mistakes and things I wish I did better with last year.

-Experiment more with cooking. Although I can cook a pretty good amount of things I always get lazy at uni and rarely cook anything super interesting, I'd like to try and cook something new or just more interesting than pasta/stir fry weekly.

-Learn to properly use SPSS. Last year we learn about SPSS for a lab report, and to be honest I didn't really learn how to use it properly, instead I just did what got the report done, but I want to try and seriously.

-Be more Active. This is to basically not be a completely lazy shit all year, to get out and enjoy Birmingham, even just to not put off going shop, or simply walking to uni rather than always taking the bus.

-Stay involved in chosen Societies. Similar to my October aims, but obviously intended for the whole year is my commitments to societies. I really want to stay highly involved in the Women's football, the Burlesque Society and the Rock Soc Society. I'm also apart of a few more but those one's don't tend to meet up or have socials often.

-Keep my notes updated and Separate. So last year I had all the notes for all my modules in one notebook & it was an awful idea, some people did this then organised the ripped out pages but I can't really do this myself, I end up thinking the separate pages aren't important and it feels very messy to me. So this year I have a note book for each of my different modules, organised.

-Lose weight. This would have been a pretty appropriate aims for October as well to be honest. As I was pretty immobile from July to the beginning of September due to my broken foot this meant I put on weight, Not a lot as I couldn't really eat much anyway but still more than I wanted considering I'm already not happy with my own weight. But on the plus I have already started to go back down for the last 2/3 weeks so yay.

Those are my major objectives for the next academic year, all really doable, I just have to keep motivated and not sit on my butt all the time.

Are you returning to uni? Or just starting?

October Aims.

So hi...

Only 3 more months till we've finished 2015 and I'm barely used to writing 2015 on the date, but autumn is upon us and I have another set of aims for the month of October, As I'm heading into the full swing of University, a few of them are quite uni/Birmingham related.

-Keep in contact with Friends. Both in and outside of Birmingham, Since my uni friends aren't as easily accessible like last year I need to make more effort, and I just generally miss talking to my home friends more when I never see them

-Learn my way around Birmingham Better. Because I lived and had my campus in Perry bar last year I hardly ever went to the centre, and as such I hardly know my way around, now I'm dead centre and looking forward to exploring.

-Visit more Cafes and little food places around the City. I'm a sucker for cafes and little food joints, and the idea of going into cafes, grabbing a coffee and just doing some work on your laptop seems adorable and oh so chic, so I'd love to try it.

-Stay ahead of Uni work. Pretty understandable one here. Although I passed last year and got all my work done, I definitely could have done it better and I definitely could have made more of an effort to keep my notes up to date, So this year, as it really counts, I aim to.

-Do Extra reading every weekend. Adding on to the last point, I really want to read more into my subject and the topics that I'm interested in, I choice to do this at university so I should make a real effort to learn the field.
-Increase Daily Productivity. There are 24 hours in a day, and because I have such a bad sleeping schedule I probably only sleep for 6/7 of that, that's 17/18 Hours in the day that I could be spending doing useful things to be productive and improve my life. I spend way to much time lazing around doing nothing.

-Keep Working The Confidence. One of last month's aims was about being more confident, and I even note a post about it. And I've achieved that amazingly well, I'm not 100% sure how I made myself do it but the same body I thought was monsterous and fat I now look at thinking, I'm not ideal, but damn do I look good in that dress/top etc. I'm still working towards small fitness and health goals, but confidence is growing in me and boy do I feel sassy.

-Read and listen to news more. As shameful as it is, I hardly ever read the news, I see and hear a lot of things through the odd facebook post and tweet but that's a minor amount to what i should be reading, especially as a criminology student. and I do enjoy reading the news, but I think I like to have a newspaper to read the news, online there is just a little too much going on everywhere for me to read and know everything. But I'll start slow and find a way.

-Attend and get involved with my Societies. I joined up to 3/4 Extra societies this year on top of the 2 I was already apart of last year, and two of them are rather active, That's at least 3 societies and meetings to keep up with weekly, as well as the other which meet every month or so. But I'm super excited to be apart of the different communities and I know I'll love it.

And those are my aims for the month of October, very doable and most of them are just a case of setting a new habit for myself.

What are the aims you've set yourself this month?

September Aims,

So hi...

September is gonna be a bit of an odd one, it's the ending of summer for me and when I go back to uni, It's gonna be a quiet start with a super hectic end as I visit Southampton, Bedford and Sheffield and go back to Birmingham to my own flat. It's gonna be a strange one, it's also the start of my second year of uni, but I'll have a post on that close to the time! So my aims for the month of September.

1. Walk regularly & Exercise. This has been something stupidly hard to do the last 2 months, a broken bone is highly limiting, but with the healing process nearly done I'll definitely be easing myself into regular walks and exercise.

2. Get out Often. Kinda linking in with the last aim but on more of a do something other than sit inside angle, just because I've really done enough of that the last 2 months,

3.Get involved in blogger chats on twitter. I got involved in a few a while back but it's so much dedication to remember when all the chats are and keep up with the topics and stuff but I'm going to try and keep up with at least one chat.

4. Enjoy myself. This is a super personal one in that I have missed so many opportunities in life from laziness or just being too worried to do it. And I really regret that I did that to myself. So my twenties I hope will be the year of opportunities and testing my boundaries, a quote that relates to this feeling is 'Adventure starts where your comfort zone ends'

5. Don't sweat the little things. Despite the name of my blog, I really consider the little negative things way too much, I let myself overthink and ruin my happiness. I end up trying too hard to 'have fun' and end up thinking about it too much. So aiming to stop that, don't worry about people's opinions, especially if it would mean you holding back from things that make you happy.

6. Eat Clean and well. I think I'm quite a good eater generally, especially at uni, although I can't help the odd takeaway, but I'm quite well behaved, but at home, I have little control and tend to eat pretty badly, But Before I head back to uni I want to kick start my clean eating again.

7. Explore more often. This is more for the end of the month when I head to Brum but I really want to make a point of exploring my surroundings more, with Birmingham being the second biggest city in Luton I'm sure there's a load of hidden gems and things to explore, and I want to do that.

8. Fake it till you make it. This is a confidence one, I've always been super conscience of my size and body image, when I was younger I was taller and much bigger than the other kids, Although I've grown into my height and size a bit (I'm quite the shorty now) I'm still quite big I feel, But a comment made about some other people made me realize that I'm really not as big as I think I am and A new part of it is my huge lack of confidence in myself, I also really don't know how to properly dress to make the most of my body, but I'm getting there recently, and It's exciting. I'm still on that weight loss grind but not as recklessly as before.

And those are my aims for the month of September! What are your aims for this month?

Turning 20. Exit Teenage years.

So hi...

Slight link up with the Bath Photo diary but since it was my birthday over that period I can't help it. SO I turned the big 2 0 on Saturday 15th August, officially no longer considered a Teenage of any sorts, and in all honesty I'm not sure how I feel about it.

It was the first Birthday which I spent away from home, although not because I wanted to, It really drove the adult thing home. I've always been used to being at home with my family, sitting on the floor opening presents and having takeaway or dinner of my choice, before going out with friends in the evening But this year I was in Bath celebrating a friends Birthday and getting back in time for my Birthday just wasn't an option. Saying that I definitely had an interesting week, the people I was with although they didn't all know me well, made a real effort to make me feel welcome and happy on my birthday, so I hardly felt like I was missing out, and I was able to shop and adventure the beautiful city that is Bath.

I Also got to meet Megan McMinn From Briar Rose and she was 10x as pretty s she looks in photos! even if she had just finished work. So that was an amazing little surprise. I may have gotten a little bit excited. Excuse my own looks!

My birthday was spent Shopping and happily wandering around before a reserved dinner and house party. I won't put many photos here as you can see most of them in my Bath Photo Diary. (Here)

When I returned home on the Sunday I also had a mini celebration with my family and got my usual takeaway of Chinese (obviously).

And even still this was not the end of my celebrations for turning 20... Thought things didn't go as planned. I was supposed to be going up to my new flat in Birmingham and having a house party but a series of event meant I couldn't, But even still I had a little 'get together' at my mums instead, it wasn't as WOW as I really wanted but it was nice and cute and ended things nicely.

So I'm officially an adult... whatever that means, and heading straight into my second year at Uni with my own flat and bills to do and lots more responsibilities, Wish me luck okay.

When is your birthday? has it already passed?

My Dorm/Uni Room Essentials

So Hi...

It's not long now till I'm back off to uni for my second year, it feels like only a few weeks ago that I was panicking about moving into Accommodation for my first year! Although I'll have my own flat ( with 2 friends) I still have a few must have items to make it feel homely. I think this is super important for your first year! It can feel pretty bare and lonely when you first move in. New place, New room, it can be pretty scary!
So I thought I would write about my essentials to make my room feel homely and comforting!
This Idea was given to me by a brand called Parachute Home! They have a load of Quality bedding and cosy things to spruce up your room. May seem expensive but I definitely think it would last and feel super soft!
Check them out here: http://www.parachutehome.com

So My Dorm Essentials?

Bedding: The Bed is the easiest and probably most effective way to immediately make your bare room feel more you. putting on some pretty sheets and adding some pretty pillows give the room a little personality and shows off your tastes!

I have a number of different bed sets and like to swap them out, My favourites are this gorgeous skyline which I got from Asda And this super summery pineapple cover. So pretty.
Throws: Are another way to decorate a bed, Mine is a simple black flurry one from primark but I'd love to get a brighter patterned one!
Pillows: I only owe 3 pillows to decorate my bed with currently but I'm desperate to build up my collection by about 10x. The pillows I currently have as you can see are three cream ones, with one in the shape of a heart which, once again was from Primark. Sorry but Primark does pretty home stuff for super cheap.

Photos: Pretty obvious but sticking up photos is a great way to personalize your uni room. I decided to put mine up in a little heart pattern above my bed which was super simple but looked really nice.

Notice board: Most uni Accommodation rooms have some form of notice board, Usually with all the safety stuff pinned to it at the beginning, since you're not really allowed to have things up on the walls in most places it's great to use this to stick up any posters, I used mine for my planner poster I got at the uni Fair (Go to these it's freebie galore) and little tickets and a t-shirt from nights out, which I put photos on top of.

Little ornaments: This won't be for every one but having little cute nik naks on my shelves other than uni books and notes definitely made my room look better.

And those are my Dorm Essential for comfort. I may do a few more posts like these, Such as Essentials for the kitchen or bath room! I know a lot of people worry over what things to take to uni.
Did or do you have thing to bring that homely feel to a new room?

My New Home: Flat Tour.

So Hi..

On Saturday, Despite my cast I went up to Birmingham to collect the keys to my new flat and move in a few on my bits in to lessen the load when I move in properly. I was so excited, there's a completely different feel to seeing a place as apart of a viewing and then seeing the place as your own, you completely start to think what it will be like to live there and how everyday life will be like. I even started thinking about what I'd put where and how I'd decorate my room.  also got to get the okay sign from my dad who had yet to see the place. It's been so stressful house hunting we had a house then lost it and everything seemed to go wrong, so to now have a place where the contract is signed and in effect. It's a great feeling, The bills have also been a great stress but to have that also nearly done, I'm so happy.  Thought I would share my happiness with you all and show off the flat as it is. It's a little empty right now but once me and my friends move in I'm sure it will be full of life.

 This is my room, which actually already looks pretty homely with the few things I brought in. There was 1 double and 2 singles in the flat, the friends I'm staying with are a couple so I decided it was nice to let them have the double bed, Aren't I a doll? I Really like this room though and the previous tenants left a desk and chair behind, bonus.

 The one downside to my room is that it Doesn't have a long mirror which I'll definitely have to get, for personal use and how else will I get any outfit photos?

 This is the bath room, to the left of the photo is a cool shower bit which is super nice looking, IT's a pretty clean and nice layout. there's a decent bit of storage ability as well so we can all have bath things in the bathroom without it looking cluttered.

 Pretty standard here but the hallway from the front door which goes straight into the kitchen.

 The front room is huge, and super fresh looking but as you can tell, it's empty! the Sofa was left and it's pretty nice, but I'm pretty sure we're be buying a dining set to put in here as well. I think we'll also be putting my wii and maybe xbox360 here so we can all relax and play games in here.

And finally the kitchen, it's a pretty big open space as well and beautifully designed, the dark wood on the white looks gorgeous, though I know we'll have to make a real effort to keep the white floors and surfaces clean, There's tons of space though, to the point I think there'll be too much for three people to use. Not that I'm complaining ,it's tons better than the small amount we had in the accommodation. There's also a washing machine and tumble dryer, woohooooo.

And that's my new flat! I'll be visiting it in a few weeks to celebrate my 20th birthday which I'm really looking forward to!

Mid Year thoughts

So hi...

So we're now midway through 2015, it's the middle of June and I can't believe how quickly this year has been going by, I've finished my first year of uni, made lovely friends, been abroad twice and it's been crazy. I also Blogged every day in may which was a super interesting experience which I was really proud of myself for doing, you may have noticed I when took a little break from posting. Though I wanted to keep a regular stream of blogging going I decided to have a little break to sort things out at home with jobs and life plans etc etc.
But I'm back on it now, and ready to power forward!
This year for me has been the best of my life so far. With the start of uni at the end of last year I really started to get into my sense of self and knowing what I want to do with the next few years of my life. My Confidence is one thing that has definitely gone up, I've stopped caring so much about other people's opinions and acted on my own wants and idea. This is everything from  my attitude to my fashion sense. I've had a complete mental re-haul. If I want to buy a dress i buy it, whereas before i'd worry about peoples opinions.
It's an amazing feeling to feel happy with yourself and feel secure with where you're heading. I know that Uni was the best decision I've made for my own progress and development and I still really hope to go into criminal therapy once I finish Uni.

As you guys know if you've been keeping up with my posts I've been abroad twice this year, I went to Paris in February with my Uni fashion Society and then to Spain, Salou a month later with my Uni Football team. It was amazing to go away and experience a different country, It light a flame for travel in me. I've also recently been catching up with Funforlouis' videos, which has inspired me even more. The travels and sights he experiences are simply outstanding. I hope to one day visit so many fantastic places.
But that'll have to be around uni for now.

So we're halfway through the year and at the beginning of Summer and I can't wait to see what the rest of this year holds for me. I'm working to earn as much as I can over Summer and Hoping to go Amsterdam for a few days towards the end of August with friends which will be incredible.

So 2015. Thanks for being so good to me! please keep it up.
How has your year gone so far?

My Perfect Shoe.

So hi...

So It's pretty obvious if you follow me on any social media that I am a major boot lover, I have happily gained a small collection of gorgeous boots that I'm content with, but they other week I've found the perfect heeled shoe for my collection. They aren't really boots so I'd say they are my perfect style of shoe, and they are a great mix between smart looking and edgy looking, just change the outfit and accessories and bam!

Aren't they so pretty????? I love lace up shoes/boots. They are just so nice. They are also easy to just slip on and off once done up and they are really comfortable, but I still get a little height to make people forget how short I actually am, which is always a bonus.  The best thing about these shoes as well Is that I got them from New look in the sale for £12 down from £24, What an absolute bargain right. Couldn't leave them in the store at that price, t would just be rude.

What are you idea of a perfect shoe? let me know in the comments section down below!

Instagram Healthy Food Diary.

So hi...

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed that I have been posting all my meals lately. This is because I've started to use my instagram page as a way to track what I eat and keep a food diary. Along with this I've also been following weekly meal plans that I found from Weight watchers. I decided to do all this as I've struggled with my weight most my life, or as long as I can remember. When I was born, I was actually 2 months early and so was tiny when I came out. Doctors didn't actually think I would survive and I was kept in the hospital for a while. Because of this panic my parents told me they used to give me a lot of food and things so I would grow normally and okay. Well that worked a little too well, From junior school I was bigger and a little taller than most of the other children. And although everyone shot up in their height and I didn't I still have always been what I consider pretty big. I've tried a number of things before but I never seem to shift.

This has always cause a lot of insecurities for me and although now I don't consider myself to be obese or anything ( I'm size 14 comfortably in 90% of clothing) I'm still, like most people rather unhappy with my body. So I decided to revamp. I've changed a lot of my eating habits already in the past year. I rarely drink anything but water ( and usually have about 5 bottles of water a day) and I don't tend to have processed food as I've gotten into the habit of eating fresher at uni.(minus the odd takeaway)

These still haven't been able to shift the weight I want and so here I am. after that long super personal ramble, Telling the blogging world my plans. This way I feel I'll be much more motivated to keep up to the meal plans I'm following and more motivated to generally improve my fitness and health.
Feel free to follow me on my instagram page. I may start to post my weight loss or gain after another month or so.
I'm hoping to lose around 3 stone of weight. And I think this can be done healthily in around 4-5 months, Let me know your thoughts on that?

I've also lost 8/9lbs within the last 2 weeks already purely due to the fact I got a tongue piercing, making eating solid foods quite difficult, so I didn't eat at all for about 5 days apart from the odd yogurt and soup. As I was still keeping myself busy and active I'm guessing that's the reason for the weight loss but it's a head start I guess?

With any luck I'll be writing an update post to this one with happy news and much slender fingers!

Bit over personal today but is there anything you've struggled with that you want to or have changed?
