April Goals

So Hi...

Thought I would do another little goals type post. I tend to do this every now and again to show everyone where I'm sort of heading or what I'm hoping to achieve this month/season. It's not a super big list but ya know.



1: Keep up the Healthy Meal Plans! Recently I've started to keep up healthy eating through specific meal plans I've found on the weight watchers site, These were free and I have just finished a week, I could talk forever about healthy eating and my personal struggles but lets leave that for anther day! anyway I hope to upkeep this throughout the month!

2. Get outside. A little bit of an obvious one but I wanna make the most of the spring and summer season and get out and about, both at uni with the flatmates and once I'm home, this one is more whole of summer goal then only april but ya know.

3. Get More Creative!! Lately I've been feeling super uncreative, i don't draw or create as much as I used to and it sucks, I feel so drained of inspiration and creative flow, so I'm aiming to revive that.

4. Do more Fashion related posts! Don't get scared, be confident. Fashion posts are some of my favourites, how to style and personal style blogs cover maybe 40-50% of the blogs I read, I envy their fashion sense and confidence and really want to post a little more fashion along with the odd make-up and lifestyle posts.

5. Make more commitments and keep them. This is for both personal and social commitments, I feel like if i make commitments with friends, i'm more inclined to keep them I really want to give myself more commitments and things to do.

6. Stay in more frequent contact with friends and catch up more! To be honest I think I'm quite decent at this already as i tend to catch up with most friends when home but I want to keep up with it and text and talk to friends more, I really appreciate my close friends since uni.

What goals have you set for yourself this month if any? let me know in the comments below!

50 things every woman should do before dying?

So hi...

This article was on the cosmopolitan a while back and I saved it into my bookmarks as I've become a fan of checklists with ambitions and such, like the 101 things in 1001 days post, I wanted to document this little list. Obviously this will be over a much longer time period (E.g my life) but I just really liked this.

1. Swim in the Ocean Naked and just let your lady parts float about. it feels really good. 
2. Put a streak in your hair, or dye all of it. Even if you hate it, It doesn't matter, it's the thrill of it. -Done but would like to do something a bit crazier with it.
3. If you have long hair, cut it short. It's just hair- shit grows back
4. Forgive someone. Remember forgiveness isn't for the other person, it's for you. So even if they're a dick to you after you dig deep and forgive them, You know you're not wasting energy holding a grudge.
5.Travel alone. Wake up early and see things that will blow your mind. Sleep in late and give zero fucks about wasting the day away
6. Eat dessert for breakfast. Ice-cream is AMAZING when you wake up in the morning and are burning up from your comforter/ heater/ boyfriend.
7. Offer to pay for a date and actually do it. It's remarkably empowering.
8. Book a massage after you've had an incredibly stressful day. When you're there, stare at the floor and think of nothing.
9. Eat a huge bit of cake ( Or whatever your favourite dessert is) and feel wonderful about it. Not bad, Not fat, not guilty. Wooonderful.
10. Go out for a meal by yourself. Order a glass of wine and read a book. Write in that journal that you keep meaning to update. Be glad you're not on an awkward first date like those people next to you.
11. Complete some sort of physical challenge. Run a marathon or 5K. Or just learn to do a push up.
12. Take a kick-boxing class. No matter what's going on in your life, you can probably always envision something you want to punch or kick the shit out of.
13. Quit that job you hate. Job quitters are the happiest people. Life is too short to spend it in misery counting down the hours before you can go home and complain about your day to your cat.
14. Live alone. Be naked in your kitchen for no reason. Make a huge mess. Have your own glorious closet. Come home at 5am. Go to bed at 8pm without interruption 
15. Go on one or more Spontaneous adventures with your best friends. A road trip to the beach. A weekend in Miami in the dead of winter. Or just ditch work and go for coffee. 
16. Don't work out for a week. Who Cares? Definitely done this, waaay too much.
17. Splurge on something you really really want. Once in a while. It's okay.
18. Make a whole cake for no reason other than to sit there and attack it with a forks alone/ With friends/ with boyfriend.
19. Have a Pet. Pets love you unconditionally. And they can't say the wrong thing when you're upset. 
20. Go to a Beyonce Concert. Bask in her talent and feminist message. Enjoy the hardcore fans closing their eyes and lifting their arms in the air while she sings 'Resentment' as though they are having a religious experience.
21. Run away from something that's driving you nuts. Sometimes you just need to spend a weekend sleeping and drinking  wine in front of the Tv at your parent's rather than face whatever nasty music awaits you back at home.
22. Buy lunch for someone who is just starting out and needs to save the £10 more than you do. When they're wildly successful, they'll remember how you bought lunch for them and do the same for another young upstart.
23. Take the time to get a few special  photos or prints professionally framed and matted, even though it's pricey. You'll use them in ever apartment you ever live in and you'll feel happy ever time you look at them.
24. Learn to like some stuff you're pretty sure you didn't . This could apply to anything from whiskey to a boss.
25. Find a quote or phrase that will be a personal mantra and live by it.
26. Do something that scare you at least once a year. go sky-diving or zip-lining. Or quit that job you hate. or go travelling for 3 months. You won't regret it.
27. Have sex with someone who is totally all wrong for you but it just hot as hell.
28. Cut out friends you don't really like. Don't spend time wondering whether or not you made the right decision. Just be done with the arseholes  who bring you down and don't look back.
29. Speak in public.  Toast your friend at her wedding  or take on the big presentation at work. Once you're done with it you'll feel very accomplished.
30. Spend more money than you think you should on vacation. You can spurge on a few poolside cocktails when you're on a tropical beach in the middle of February and still save for a house.
31. Try new foods. Especially one's you thought you'd hate. ( A lot of it really tastes like chicken anyway)
32. Spend an entire day eating nothing but crap. You never craave kale. admit it.
33.Just completely lose it at customer service when they're being dicks.
34. Do karaoke. Do it drunk, do it sober, do it at least once to find out if you love it or hate it.
35. Be a 'Regular' somewhere. A bar, restaurant, a bookstore. I's one of those things that everyone is envious of in sitcoms. Just incorporate it into your life and enjoy feeling like your on the cast of friends.
36. Go through a 'slutty' stage. A great time to do this is after you dump someone that's treated you like garbage.
37. Go through a totally Monastic stage. A great time to do this is after you've boned a lot of guys and are over dudes.
38. Test out you weirdest fantasies. Just shamelessly go for it.
39. See a therapist- Even if it's just once . It's amazing to have someone just listen to your problems. even if you have no major issues, it's still nice to get unbiased advice on whatever you're thinking.
40. Throw yourself into a hobby. Like horse-riding  or tennis lessons or trivia night. If people ever ask you what you're into at a job interview or something, you'll feel pleased to have an automatic reply
41. Wallow in a heartbreak. Allow yourself to do all those generic break up things like eating ice-cream while watching rom-coms. and going to some trashy club to dance wildly.
42. Apply for a bunch of dream jobs that you might not be totally qualified for. You never know what could happen.
43. Shamelessly go to a concert everyone will make fun at you for. Dance like a crazy person while you're there.
44. Date someone who is totally wrong for you. Because most people you date won't be right for you. May as well get some fun stories and unique experiences from it.
45. Write a love letter telling your significant other how much they mean to you. An actual letter. Use pen and paper and pour your heart out.
46. Try a really really good bottle of wine. Treat yourself. you might discover you enjoy the difference between a £50 bottle and the boxed stuff you and your flatmates drink.
47. Go absolutely apeshit on an ex who did you wrong. just throw a drink in his face and run away.
48. Learn to make one full meal. Even if it's just a simple homemade dish. You should know how to feed yourself if you're ever in a position where you can't obtain  a take out or frozen pizza.
49. Take a risk at work, even if you're worried  it might make you seem insane. Think of the most successful people you admire. They all regularly take risks that make them seem insane until everyone agrees their insanity is genius.
50. Go somewhere with no cell phone reception for at least a week. Experience the tranquility of life with the anxiety of  constant messages and status updates.

The Year Round up: 2014

So hi...

And that's the year over.. 2014 over and done with and I'm not sure whether I thought it was quick or not. Honestly a lot of the year feels quite blurry to me as Uni beginning has been such a huge change it's blurred the few months previous, BUT here it is a few photos of my year.


Janaury: This was a pretty good month, I went yolo mood and chopped off over half my hair to my shoulders and did lots of cooking as well as catching up with friends.


Febuary: As far as I remember this was another pretty good month, I went to see ADTR with my friend Darcie and  had another London trip for Casual Shopping with Ross, Was eventful and lots of fun.


March: not as good of a month, I finally went into hospital to get my Tonsils removed which had been playing up for nearly 6 months, but I was glad to have them out, And still got to enjoy Paddy' day with the Family, Result.


April: This was an interesting month, the highlight being the fancy dress party my friend had, which I went as a maid If you couldn't tell, I think it looks pretty good, I also got a bit of summer prep shopping done and treated myself to games, I love the Bioshock game series.



May: I had a really good may, had a lot of fun, Went out for a 'quiet' drink with my friend Amber which ended up with a struggled walk home at 6.30am, I also had work at 8 the next day where I didn't finish till 8pm, It was hard, I feel like I lost my sanity at some point, but I still really enjoyed the work and night out aha! I also had a great chilled 'party' at my Friends which is the second picture. And the last is a catch up with Friend Darcie where we were classy and sat with a whole pizza each and a Costa, Perfect.


June: Apparently june was the month of selfies for me. In honesty this was the month my memory card messed up and decided to wipe my photos before I got a chance to back the latest files up, And so poor june here doesn't have much to show for it, but I remember it was a lovely start to my summer, I wore dresses and everything, I also had a really good work shift at the club for Specs comedy, it was really good.


July: Getting into the full swing of summer I made sure to make the most of it trying to soak up the rays without burning and we had plenty of nights out with lots of ridiculous photos as you can tell.


August: So I slightly messed up my neat 3 photo thing i had going on here but August is summer and my birth month so gimme some leeway here. And can i just say, that middle photo, I now look at and wish I looked like that now, I was working out then as well, what the hell?? As I said before I turned 19 in august and had lots of days in the sun, nights out and a little BBQ at a friends, I also got a full fringe which I'm already missing...


September: Again ruining the theme but the last few months have been very eventful and I've tried to take more photos for it. I moved to Uni and had a heart breaking 'Last Supper' with my friends at home. But Freshers was super eventful and fun, very student typical in the large amount of partying.


October: Still in the moving to uni swing, I still spent lots of time partying with my new friends. I also went to a toga party as apart of a social with the Football society I joined, they are a fab bunch. I also had a lovely week back home as we partied on halloween (My friend has his birthday on halloween) And I got to see my cat, always a highlight.



November: The partying calmed down slightly in November but not too much, It was also the start of the Festivities of Christmas settling in, I got to experience the German Christmas market in Birmingham, It was absolutely amazing. Everything was so pretty and it put me right into the Christmas spirit


December: And so here we are the last month, I could chat ages about December since It's fresh in my mind but you would have already seen my December round up so I won't go on. It was a nice mix between being at uni and at home and was an absolutely amazing finish to the year!

And that was my year, I'd say it was a pretty good year apart from the hospital early on and stuff, but I pasted my A levels and Uni is going well, I also already signed for a house next year with the amazing group of friends I've made at uni and I can't wait to live in a house next year. I've also really grown as a person since uni, and have grown very close with a few people from home, I suppose realizing those I can always rely on.

So it's been a really great year I think, Well as the end of it I'm feeling positive so it had to be!
 How was your year? Did you get up to much?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

The German Christmas Market.

So Hi.

My Christmasy mood is at an all time high the last week or so, and I think I can mostly thank that to the German Christmas market down at the bullring. It's a yearly thing in Birmingham but I've personally never really been to one or any sort of Christmas fair actually so I was really excited to go.
Me and a few flat friends went by train last Wednesday and words can not describe how gorgeous everything was, I felt like it was Santa's workshop with the pretty wooden sheds surrounded in pretty light fairy lights, and a number of ornaments, toys and other little trinkets.  Basically everything was beautifully decorated and Christmasy and made me very happy.















 After looking around and eating a crepe ( how could I not they are literally my favourite sweet treat.) We ended up having dinner at McDonalds, purely because the stalls were already closing. We then decided to go for a little drink at whether-spoons, just to relax for the evening which was nice, it was also beautifully decorated and full of happy people from the markets. After realizing we were about to miss the last train it was a crazy run to the train station. And that was that, I returned home happy content and very tired. I can't believe I had never experienced a Christmas market before! No wonder I wasn't obsessed with Christmas.

Have any of you been to a Christmas fair or market this year?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

The Big Move

So Hi...

I can now say I live in Birmingham! I moved in on Saturday and after a little crazy running around I'm settled in. I have lovely flatmates and have already adopted 3 other girls from different flat, so we have a happy family of 9, with 7 girls and 2 lads, poor guys.

I also started Vlogging, but decided that while easing into vlogging and without freaking out everyone as well as my flatmates that I would group days together while I get used to it, but daily ones will be up eventually, Finding time to even Edit is hard at the moment, this is the first free time I'm had to sit and write and catch up on the world outside my new little home!

The move was stressful! I had 6 suitcases as well and random bits that completely filled up the car and once my dad left did start feeling a little homesick, but my bed was surprisingly comfy and my first night was spent out with some lovely flatmates, now just over a week later I'm surprised at how much I'm already comfortable here.
I started my first day of uni with two lectures and they were interesting, I'm looking forward to the rest of the year, I just know I'll be sending a good few nights reading up on journals and books though... It's a tough road ahead.

So that's me comfortable, I have a lot of catchng up to do with my blog and editing and getting up my Vlogs, I have about 5 vlogs with two days each to edit and get up! I don't want to be too far behind with the vlogs in terms of dates, otherwise I feel it loses it's touch!

I have a load of blog ideas from uni as well and I really can't wait to get back into the swing of things.

Have some photos of my uni life so far.





Have you recently moved to uni? Or moved out in general?

September Goals.

So hi...


I feel like this is going to sound very 'typical blogger' but now that I'm well out of high school, I quite like September, after august being my favourite month due to it being my birthday and most often the beginning of cooler weather at the end of august. But September is a nice and cosy month, I love the crisp air that can feel so refreshing and how everyone wears a bolder berry lip with pride!
September this year is a huge and slightly stressful month for me. On the 20th I make the final move to Birmingham, where I'll (hopefully) spend the next three years of my life and I just hope I click with people. Anyway enough rambles, I thought I'd make a little list of things I hope to achieve in September, they are personal and all very uni/ living situation related but enjoy.

1. Successfully move out with minimal forgetfullness- Basically be organised and not leave half my things at home to find out weeks later I reeeaally need them.

2.Eat healthily at Uni - Too many people have warn me of Uni weight gain and I can't afford any of that! I see uni and independent living as a way to completely control my eating habits and really work towards better living and weight loss.

3. Linked with 2 NO TAKEAWAYS - Not only can I really not afford it but I really want to avoid that junk food, I've not decided to completely cut takeaways because I feel like it'll be a common thing for the flat to collectively order but one takeaway for every two weeks is the maximum if not one a month!

4. Make friends - Quite a general one here but I'd really like to make a few good friends within the first few weeks, already chatted to a few people through facebook and found fellow course members, so It's looking like a good start :)

5. Cook my flatmates a meal - Kinda cheesy but I think as well as get along with all my flat mates I'd quite like to cook a group meal, There's 6 of us in one flat, but I think that's a good amount.

6.Learn my way around Birmingham - I hate not knowing where I am, and I think the quicker I can learn the bus routes and my way around the city ( or at least the city centre and around my uni/halls) I'll feel a lot more safe and at home.

That's Really the main ones, there's loads of other little things but these 6 are my top priorities! I really am getting quite excited for uni now but at the same time the realization that I'll also be leaving so many people behind makes me feel kinda sad.




What are you're goals for the month of September? You moving to uni or a new place?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

The A-Level Results. And going Uni.

So Hi.

I'm about a week late in writing this post but due to my birthday, which was the day after results day I have been super busy and today is the first break I've had to really sit down and collect my thoughts.
So results day was good. Wednesday night was a little girls night at mine with films and pizza and a late night drive which was nice but despite how late we went to bed... I was up and filled with nervous at 7am. I had originally planned to wait till I went into college but with the results put up online at 6.30am  I couldn't wait, while my friends were asleep I checked my results and quietly squealed with happiness at the fact I passed. I didn't do as well as hoped, I got BBD, which was exactly what I needed to get into uni, But I had hoped to do better, especially with that D grade, But with taking 9 exams in a short period of time I'm just glad I haven't failed anything.

And so in under a month I am off to uni, my chosen University being Birmingham City Uni, Studying Psychology and Criminology, I've been given my accommodation and have been trying to find my flatmates through different Birmingham city groups on facebook and such, I have found my neighbors and a few individuals on my course but I have yet to find my flatmates, boo.
Along with the passing of my A-levels and acceptance of my first uni choice, begins a different project I want to do, Once I begin uni I plan to vlog it, all of it the good, potentially bad, and down right funny. This is an idea I've had for a good couple of months now and I'm looking forward to starting it. I hope some of you may enjoy my awkward vlogs and be interested in the uni happenings of a normal young adult.

So that's that, I didn't fail and I have not much to do but wait until freshers week, my uni bits are already bought and I definitely have a place to live, It's the start of a completely new chapter of my life and I hope you enjoy reading it as I write it.

have an updated selfie of my silly face pulling.

The 5 Year Plan: Where do I go now?

So Hi,

I seen my friend Kit, Who is an amazing fashion photographer ( check him out at his blog here) make a post of this title and it got me thinking about doing it as well, though my thoughts are no where near as neatly laid out and organised as Kit's plans. I'll give it a go anyhow!


1-3 Years: University (Hopefully at Birmingham City)
There's not much variation for this. In September, if my grades permit... I'll be heading off to Birmingham city uni to study Psychology and Criminology, and for 3 years of my life that's where I'm hoping to stay. I'm really looking forward to the idea of living in a city and I've already looked up a load of little events and such that I want to go to that are held in Birmingham, it's all so exciting and I really look forward to making the most of my time there.


4 Years: Visit to America and Finding my way.
Honestly, I don't have any super set in stone plans for once I finish Uni. I haven't gotten to the point where I'm decided on if I will fuller pursue the years training required to become a full fledged Psychologist or Criminologist, if I did, that could be a total of 7 years in training, and I don't know whether I want to give away my life and youth that quickly after finishing uni. 1 Thing that is planned however is a trip to America, Or more on point to Texas to attend RTX.  I'm a big fan of Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter and Although I could have attended RTX already, I want to be 21 to meet America's drinking laws and so I can attend the after parties involved, just a way to get the most out of my visit.


5 Years: Saving Saving Saving
In 5 years time I could still be going through training, and that's a scary thought. But it does supply much more stability than where I'd think I'd be doing... I'd like to think I'd be on my way to saving for a house, And I'd like to have be driving by then and saving also for a car, I know it's super over ambitious with all this but I plan to start saved now, like I'm going to risk living a little poorer at uni so I can put a few quid away whenever I can. Hopefully I can save something up even if that's only a few hundred in the 3-4 years.


And that's it, my very messy unstable unplanned plans for the next few years of my life now that my time at college is finally finished, Seems so strange to me saying that.

What's your plans for the next 5 years of your life, Whether your finished college, heading to high school or already out of uni... where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

We'll talk soon lovelies!
