Hello! Hope you're doing well! For today's post I thought I would mix it up a little. The Chilled Playlist - this is one that I often listen to when I'm in the bath, relaxing with a face-mask on, or feeling like I need a breather! When I need to relax but also feel in the mood for a little sing along! I bloody love it, I hope you do too... Each of these songs have a different meaning to me. I love Shawn Mendes for one, he's literally my future husband... sorry Ben haha. Any song from A Star is Born is a hit for me... I love that playlist so much, could listen to it for hours! Tom Walker and Lewis Capaldi have become some of my favourite artists recently, their voices and songs are amazing. One Direction forever yeah? haha, Louis you were always my favourite. Lukas Graham's new song Love Someone is probs my current favourite song! George Ezra always brings out the best songs... he's my dad's favourite. James Arthur is like Adele, an absolute cla...

Hey you beautiful bunch, I've missed writing frequently but I've had serious writers block and so many exams that I've needed to revise for! No excuse I know!! Anyway, todays post is all about getting out of the house in this glorious weather and exploring places when the sun is shining! 1: The Park: I love going to the park with the family or even friends and having a cute picnic, eating all the good foods and simply enjoying life. including feeding the ducks and getting an ice cream from the cafe, Fredrick's ice cream is the best!! It's a dream when the sun is out and I loveeeee visiting places like this. A little stroll, a chill on the picnic blanket and soaking up all the sun. My fave park at the minute is Avenham Park in Preston, such a pretty place! 2: The Garden: I know this sounds silly, but the best times are ones spent with your family in the garden. We make so many memories during spring and summer just by being in the garden, havi...

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! This is a little different kind of blog post today. More of an update and what I'm up too. Normally I post every Wednesday, but I kind of slipped up this week due to being home and it's been one mega busy week! Let me update you :) First of all, on Wednesday last week my gorgeous new little sweet face was born, the new edition to our family, my nephew Cole. He quickly stole all of our hearts with his little face. I honestly love him so much, its a love like no other... him and my other beautiful nephew and niece. So, for the majority of last weekend I was getting so many cuddles... just look at his toes!! Other than cooing over the little prince, I had my gorgeous niece over for a sleepover and we had the best time, I've not seen her in so long because of being at uni and I miss her so much. She's growing up so much and time is flying by. Then came a massive deadline that will make or break if I get into my second year of my course at uni, so ...

Hi, Hi, I hope you are all doing well.  Recently I purchased an orange denim jacket and honestly it's such a big step out of my comfort zone but I absolutely love it. This post is all about how to combat that voice in the back of your head telling you to stick to the neutral colours and instead to just step out of your comfort zone, not just in the clothes department but also makeup and speaking confidently. Being your own person is a big thing for me because I have often not been the person who steps out of her comfort zone because I find it so hard. I often feel like people are looking at me and judging me or thinking I look weird in a certain outfit.  Well recently I have stepped out of my comfort zone and I feel like I should give you guys some advice on how to get out there and live your life to the fullest. I still lack confidence but in some ways my confidence has flourished since being at uni. So, first of all, the orange denim jacket... ...

Hey you lovely bunch, I'm aware that I have a few new readers that have joined since my last uni blog post. Welcome!! I hope you enjoy my posts and you can get something out of them! On todays blog post, I am going to be talking all about my uni flat and I'll give you a lil tour of my room. Overall living in student accommodation isn't all that bad, even if it was a little difficult when I first came here due to a few situations with the flat as a whole... someone flooded my room *insert angry emoji* I mean it eventually settled down and I'm happy where I'm currently at. Living away from home is tricky due to being away from your family and not just that but you have this immense sense of loneliness because you can't go downstairs and sit with your mum and watch the soaps or have a general chit chat with her... you're in your flat on your own. This to me meant that it was essential to make my room feel just like my room at home. I wa...

Hey all, this post is a more photography inspired post. I love taking images. I take my shots on the Nikon D3400 and I'm obsessed with the quality of the images it produces. After taking a photography course at college, I fell in love with imagery. So for this post, I have decided to share my editing techniques that I use on Photoshop, nothing overly fancy. Just simple editing skills to help make your images look that little bit more contrasted and vibrant. First of all, a little context into this image - it was taken in New York. I love the vibrant colours in this image. Before I edited it the colours were not as bright and the contrast wasn't as developed. I first decided to use camera raw filter to increase the contrast and then I lowered the exposure a little. I then made the clarity of the image higher so the details were more exposed.  Here is a screenshot of the some of the editing:  This next image was taken in Puerto De La Cruz, in Tenerife. Th...
