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...

Long flights or flights in general can get boring if you don't have anything to do. I often, however, take way too much stuff in my carry on bag that it becomes impossible to get bored on a flight. There are many things you can do to keep yourself entertained whilst on the plane. I find it so uncomfortable to nap on a plane, my neck feels awkward on the seat and even rested on the side of the plane if I'm in a window seat. So I rarely nap on a flight. So what do I do instead... READ: I love reading a good book, this is the main thing I do when I'm away on holiday. I always take two books and I always finish them both. I think this is such a handy tip. I know a lot of my friends are not into reading much but even if you pick up a couple of magazines before you head away, I think it's so worth it.  It's also nice to escape into another reality whilst being on the flight, if you're surrounded by annoying things, you can just get lost ...

It's almost time for me to jet set away to Tenerife with my family and I am so EXCITED! I love travelling, so much so I've already been looking for next summer! It's always been a goal of mine to travel write, being able to travel the world and write about it... yesss please. So anyway, I thought I would share with you all what I take in my hand luggage/carry-on bag for plane rides. I find going to the airport and being on the plane one of the most exciting parts about going away, I'm such a travel nerd! I often take a backpack with me as my travel bag because it's easy carry as it has two straps and its so convenient for space and fits underneath the seat in front of you. Sometimes I take a bag but it often hurts my shoulder so much due to the weight... I'm most probably taking too many books and magazines haha. These are quite small pockets at the side and I probably would put a bottle of water in the pocket but seeing as you cant take liquids thro...

Hey! I've not been on here for about a week and I think a well needed update post about my life at the minute is needed... So year one at university is finally over and of course I have absolutely loved it but it's been one hell of a long and busy year, both emotionally and academically.  I've had so many assignments, exams, essays, open exams, more assignments and even going out and learning skills I've never attempted before all in one year and let me tell you it's been tiring.  At the start of the uni year I found it hard to be away from home and away from my family, every now and then I'd stay away from home for a couple of weeks and after a while I realised that I'm not the type of person who can stay away from home, being able to go home on Friday and go back to uni on a Monday night was exactly what I needed.  I'm a very home kind of girl and being able to head home on the train and spend my time with my parents and get a hug fr...

(Image created by Al_HikesAZ, from Flickr) I went to see Dumbo in the cinema on Tuesday and I have to say that it is now possibly my new favourite Disney film. It takes you on such a journey from start to end! Before writing my review I wanted to see what others thought of the movie and I was shocked to see that many in fact didn't like Burton's remake of the 1941 original Disney classic. Well my opinion is entirely different. When I first heard that Tim Burton was creating Dumbo I was a little shocked as on screen his film making is normally much more spooky. With creations like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, I didn't know whether his take on dumbo would be effective. However, his style of production is just right for Dumbo. Dumbo is a story of a loving baby oddity elephant, who like other of Burton's characters, is welcomed, humiliated and oppressed by the society around him. Reach new heights with these #Dumbo inspired posters by artists @j...

Do you ever get such holiday blues from a previous trip? I went to Amsterdam two years ago yesterday and I'm having such nostalgic feels. Amsterdam is definitely a place I need to go back to, whether it is staying in the same hotel or eating at the same restaurants. There are so many more things and places I want to explore! So this is a little nostalgic post about Amsterdam; all the places I visited, where I stayed, what food I ate and all the beautiful houses... The Hotel: When we decided on the place we wanted to stay at, we wanted something cheap and cheerful. Hotel Espresso was so close to Dam Square which was great because all the touristy locations and shops were in the centre so it made it so convenient. The hotel itself was so nice! The family room was such a great size, really comfortable beds and a mirror on the wall. Also the bathroom had a really nice shower. Also as an added extra, in the lobby area they offered free coffee and tea and if you wanted th...

Heyy, how are you? I've not posted in a while, as I said in my previous post I've been going through a tough time, which isn't any excuse but I've been keeping busy and getting on with uni. However, I'm back! This week's blog post is all about the last week of my life, all the things I have been up too, all the exciting adventures I've been on. just a general chat and catch up. So, first of all most of the last week has been consumed by uni and lectures and lots of work to complete. In three weeks time I sit my media law exam and in just over two weeks I complete my shorthand exam, scary times and this year has flown by! But yes, lots of revision and homework and so so many assignments that are happening all at the same time.  I've also spent every weekend at home to be with my family. Which I wouldn't do often because normally I would spend every other weekend at my flat to get work done, but its almost the end of the year. I wa...

Helloooo again you lovely bunch, It's been one of those weeks where life is just crap. Someone dear to me passed away on Friday and it's been a struggle. However, yesterday I got all my glow gear on and celebrated with my godmother and mum for Dementia at Media City, what an amazing night.  First of all we started the night off with a cheeky trip to Nando's and on the tram two lovely people sponsored us for our walk. Of course I had my usual lemon and herb wrap with fries and garlic bread with some amazing perinaise sauce. We sat and glowed ourselves up in the middle of Nando's - cracking all the glow sticks and I'm not going to lie we got some really funny looks.  I wore a bright pink tutu and leg warmers with glitter all over my face, such a funny yet outgoing outfit, it was great.  We then made our way to the Piazza where we met up with lots of other inspirational walkers, we wrote a little note and attached it to the memory tree.  ...
