Ten things to do during Corona Virus lockdown

Image
Hi everyone, How are you all? I've not been on here for a while but now I am stuck looking at the same four walls every single day for the foreseeable I thought I would share with you what I am doing during this stressful and boring period! Since the last time I wrote on here so much has gone on, not just in my life but everywhere. Corona Virus couldn't have come at a worser time in my life really but I am so thankful that I am healthy and so are my family. I hope you're all keeping safe and keeping indoors so we can try to combat this dreadful disease! Anyway, I have been doing so many little things to try and keep myself sane, my mental health has really taken a hit since we had to start self isolating so to keep distracted, here are ten things to do during lockdown. ONE: READ A NEW BOOK: I know some of you probably don't like reading but for those of you like me who love to read, this is the perfect opportunity to finally read the books t...

The Little Princess Trust: My haircut:

Image
As many of you know, I recently had my hair cut short. I wouldn't say it is a bob but for what I'm used to, it is quite short for me haha. I went for the chop a few weeks back and decided to donate my hair to the Little Princess Trust as I had about 12 inches cut. Rather than wasting it and throwing it away I thought it would be a great idea to pass it on to the charity so that a wig can be made from my hair. The Little Princess Trust is a charity who create wigs from donated real hair to give to children and young people with hair loss and they also raise money to fund vital research into childhood cancer.  They offer wigs to anyone up to the age of 24 who has lost their hair due to cancer or other conditions that cause hair loss. I personally think this charity is amazing for what they do and how they help children feel confident again when they have lost their hair.  This is one of the main reasons why I decided to help out the charity by giving them ...

Back to Uni - Stationary Haul:

Image
Hey you lovely bunch, how are you all? I've not been on here in a while and I must admit I had one hectic summer this year. I had so many days working which I'm not complaining about because money but I've also been busy with my family and reading all the summer books.  Now that I'm back at uni and a week in to my second year, I'm really loving having the routine back and getting back to my studies.  I promised you many weeks ago a stationary haul and I let my blog drift away for a while but I'm back! So here is the stationary haul... I am a sucker for a stationary haul and anything to do with pens and notepads. Honestly, I will have a cupboard full of notepads that are empty and I will still buy another one thinking I have none left, silly really but a girl can never have enough stationary. Anyhow, first of all I picked up this gorgeous planner from TkMaxx, they have the most amazing mid year planners so I would 100% recommend.  I ...

What I do whilst on a plane:

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 ...

TV series I've been loving...

Am I the only one who is obsessed with tv series? Nope probably not, but omg I absolutely love series. Honestly, if I could lounge in my living room or in my bed and watch the TV I would, I'm the queen of being lazy! There has been so many good series out at the minute, but also old classics that I reckon I will love forever. So on this blog post I thought I'd share my current favourites! Jane the Virgin will forever now be one of my favourite TV shows. I didn't give it a chance when it first came out because I didn't think it was anything I would be interested in. But let me tell you. When I started university in September and I'd already re-watched Gossip Girl twice, I needed something new to watch and this is perfect! I fell in love with this show as soon as I watched episode one. Try this out, if you're uncertain go for it because now I'm absolutely gutted that this is the last season. Dead to me is another new favourite of min...
