A whole new chapter...


Hey,

It's Chloe here. Recently I had a crazy idea to start my own blog, so here I am writing an intro about myself haha, I'm praying I don't mess this up :) I love writing; whether it being about my travels in Amsterdam or my travels to NYC, or even times where I get an artsy shot on my Nikon camera. Every little moment and memory, I love to write about it. So seeing as I love it, I might as well share it with you... 
Amsterdam 2017 - adventure of a lifetime!


In September I started my degree in Journalism at UCLan, which is an obvious reason to start my own blog and get some of my writing out there. I love my course, it's ace and so much better than I expected it to be. If you are uncertain on whether you want to go to university or not, I'd say just give it a go... you never know how amazing it could be. I made friends pretty much straight away which to be honest was the most scary part for me moving to university... I wanted to fit in.

When I'm not at uni, I'm either going into vintage shops which are my new fave place to venture (especially Hollywood Exports in Preston), I find that you can literally pick up an item for a decent price and it's unique seeing as this shop in particular hand picks them from California! 
Or I am at the gym which is weird, as all my close friends and family will know, you wouldn't normally find me at a gym but hey hoe, new surroundings new hobbies and all that haha.

The CEO of Xplode, an Xplode volunteer, Ainsley Harriot
and myself...


I also volunteer at a magazine called Xplode, where I write for their magazine, I love it and it has given me so much experience in the Journalism industry such as interviewing celebrities and what not. 

In general though, I love to spend time with my family as much as I can. Being away at uni can be hard and emotional and just being able to be surrounded by family again is amazing and after two weeks at a time of not being with them makes the memories so much nicer and special. 

I love a good book. I'm such a bookworm. Sad thing is I've not got tonnes of time to read but now that I am settled into my course, the gaps get longer for my breaks so I should be able to squeeze in an hour or two a day to get back into reading some classics. Well, I hope so. 

So I'm guessing you want some basic info about me, instead of me going off on a tangent and waffling haha. I'm 18 almost 19 in December - literally two days before Christmas! I have one love in my life which is my Fiat 500 called Penny... yes I did name my car, have you not? 

Me and Penny :))

I am a lover of Netflix... literally Gossip Girl, Riverdale, Pretty Little Liars are my faves but I also love a good movie; let's just say, my fave films are Maid in Manhattan, The Fault in Our Stars and of course... The Greatest Showman.

I've travelled quite a bit in my 18 years and in the future I would love to share my experiences and photos of the beautiful adventures I've embarked on.

For now though, hey.

I'm Chloe and I hope you enjoy my blog. I'll be posting weekly or whenever possible but I promise I'll upload frequent. If you love makeup, lifestyle, beauty, fashion, travel and much more... I'm your gal.

Stay tuned and watch this space,

Chloe x

My Travel Playlist:

I love travelling and as many of you will know I’ve recently come back from my holiday to Tenerife and I’m gutted! It was such a wonderful holiday and I loved spending time with my family. For this blog post, I thought I would piece together my favourite songs at the minute that I loved whilst travelling on flight, whilst getting ready on holiday and the ones I loved whilst chilling around the pool. The playlist has way over 100 songs so I'm going to add a list for you to browse. So there is a mixture. I am obsessed with Lewis Capaldi at the minute, he is amazing! I can't get enough of his recent album, obsessed. I'm also loving all the old summer classics that will always get me in the mood like Summer by Calvin Harris, Whistle by Flo Rida and lastly, Despacito. Not only the old classics I'm loving the new ones like High Hopes and I Don't Care. These songs are great. All in all, I think this playlist is just a big pile of all the songs I like an

Taking life at your own speed limit...

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year! For my first post of 2021 I wanted to share a part of my life that I think people will also be experiencing at some point. Last week, I kind of hit a breaking point where I felt like I was behind, like I wasn't at the stage in life that I should be. I see people my age that are beyond successful on social media, buying their dream homes, having a deposit for a dream home, getting engaged or having children and I sit and think, why isn't that me? I genuinely sat and cried to my sister because I didn't know what would happen next in my life. Throughout my life I have always had stages to go through. I started off in primary school and then high school, I then had to work hard to get into college and then smash my A-levels to get into University and I think it just dawned on me that this is my last ever semester on my undergraduate course, so what happens next?  After a small breakdown, I had a deep chat about a

How I keep myself motivated with Online Uni

Hey everyone, happy Saturday! I hope you have all had a lovely January, this month has massively dragged for me. I feel like it's been six weeks instead of four but I'm so pleased with all the things I have achieved this month. However, finding motivation has been hard! Imagine this... you have classes everyday, a mountain of work to get through or assignments to complete. But not only do you have all of those, you are also coping with a global pandemic too, meaning everything has moved to online learning and you're now surrounded by the same four walls. Which in terms of coping with motivation is pretty damn hard! I know so many of my friends on Instagram are struggling to find motivation or to even cope with online learning because they're stuck in the same place, getting symptoms of cabin fever and they just want out. I feel the same but I've managed to keep a schedule and structure and it's massively helped! As you can see by the title, I thought today would
