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...

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...

Hey guys and gals, I hope you're all doing well. Todays blog post is a little topic all about exam stress. Exam season is approaching rather quickly and I thought I'd share some tips on how to stay chilled out and relaxed whilst still being prepared to smash your exams. I often struggle in exam situations, I always get very nervous and my heart feels like its poking out my chest, but I've had a think about it and really my nerves are only there because I want to do well and not because I don't know the answers. Before you head to your exams always make sure you drink plenty of water and you eat breakfast if it is a morning exam or lunch if it in the afternoon. This is honestly such an important factor as to why many people feel sick when they go into their exam, not only will it stop the sicky feeling but also, food makes the brain work! Next I would say, don't stress yourself out by revising the night before an exam. This is one that has been pas...

Hey all,  Welcome back to the blog! I hope your Sunday is chilled and not gloomy because work, school, college and uni start again tomorrow!  To make us all feel a little better about Monday I thought I'd share with you some of my most favourite places to go! Just some little recommendations on where you can travel next... First of all, Manchester.  This is like a second home to me seeing as I live in Bolton, so I visit quite frequently. Some of my family lives there and it's such an amazing city. Filled with so many close net people who celebrate events and come together as a community. Manchester is home to the most amazing Christmas markets which if you ever get the chance you must go too and it's also home to the worker bee, our cities symbol. Manchester is known for it's shopping, its community and strength. I highly recommend you visit the Trafford centre, Manchester city centre, Salford keys and many other places within the city... I mean just lo...

Hey you lovely lot, Sorry for the inconsistency on the blog recently. Due to me being at home, I've really relaxed and got on with work and not had time to write, which really is a crappy excuse.... I'm sorry. Anyhow, I'm introducing a new series on here for you guys. In 2018 I didn't read many books because I didn't have the time; I was at the end of my a levels and stress levels were high and then I started uni. So it was a blur. But gosh I loveeeee reading! So one of my ambitions for 2019 is to read more and set myself some goals when it comes to sitting down and reading a good book. Once a month I'll sit down and write a blog post on all the books I want to read and the ones I actually read I will give a lil review, so then if you have no idea what you want to read next... you can get some inspo from this. I hope you love the series and you can gain something from it... here goes! First of all... The books I want to read: 1...
