Clothing Haul: Summer Edition:

Image
Hey everyone, how are you? I hope you're doing well. Today's post is a little clothing haul on all the items that have made their way into my wardrobe! I'm a sucker for a haul and more often than not I see these kind of things more so on Youtube than I do on a physical blog, so we shall see how this goes! The summer holidays are fast approaching and I'm so excited to put my feet up and relax... well apart from doing a fifteen day placement at The Bolton News and working throughout summer hahaha, you know what I mean... it's almost time to jet set away on my holidaysss yay!! This years fashion has been a solid 11/10, I have loved so many items that have been released and I can't help but dip into my purse and get the latest bits and bobs... So here are my recent buys. Sorry for the long intro hahah. First of all... Accessories: I'm a lover of accessories. They make any outfit look that little bit more extra. 1: Straw bag: ...

Year one at uni is... done!

Image
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...

Two years since Amsterdam...

Image
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...

A week in the life of a Uni student!

Image
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...

My favourite adventures:

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...

New Years Resolutions:

Image
Hey you lovely lot! Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I hope you all had the best day on the 25th and got every present you wished for, and even eating all the goods... especially pigs in blankets. I'm currently sat here writing this in my new teddy bedding and throw eating all the chocolate I can consume because I need to eat it before I start my diet on January first, we shall see how long that lasts. I thought I'd make this post all about my new years resolutions, I have a few but not that many. I think every year I never keep to them and really I should. So this time I'm going to try to keep to them. First of all, eat healthy and go to the gym more ... At the start of uni, I joined the gym and went at least twice a week and then came a week off where I went home and I never got back into it and I feel like I've gained so much weight. So in effect when I go back to uni I'm going to eat a lot more healthy and exercise again. It...

Back home for Christmas...

Image
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 ...

Stepping out of your comfort zone:

Image
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... ...
