Back to Blogging!

Hey there!

I feel like I have a huge amount of explaining to do...recently, I've been spending a large amount of time away from the deep, dark depths of the Internet. I realised my constant blogging updates and brainstorm sessions beforehand were taking up precious family time and those around me drifted away. The majority of this year, as a result of this, has been catching up with old chums and embracing the positive energy around me!  

This year has already brought new challenges, even bigger achievements, new people, lasting memories and a playlist full of  motivational tunes to get me back on track! A special event that I celebrated with my partner this month included our 1 year anniversary- not a massive deal to some, but nonetheless a very special moment for the both of us! I simply can't wait to share with you everything I've been getting up to in the past 6 months of 2016 - so many blog posts lined up and plenty of new content!

Let's not forget my YouTube channel that I neglected for a whole entire month - I deserve a right telling off! Follow the link below to check out a HUGE throwback to my summer last year - I had so much fun making this video and cannot wait to update my channel with yet another trip to sunny Spain! 


Look out for yet another video soon for my upcoming holiday to Barcelona with my other half - I'm excited to film it and can't to share it all with you! 

See you soon! Xxx

Current Playlist #1

Hey there,

What a morning - words can't even begin to describe the emotions that took over today! Music has definitely been essential, especially when revising my socks off in the heat of the summer sun for those crucial exams! I'll admit I have a playlist for absolutely everything from 'singing in the shower' to settling myself off to sleep. Honestly, I'm raving mad about music and all the latest bands, but Glastonbury and Reading are just a dream away...




Luckily, I have no shame when rocking out to my favourite tunes and am not afraid to show off my moves or hit those high notes, wherever I may be! Festival season is fast approaching, so I thought I'd share with you some of my current favourites...

1) Cheerleader - Omi

Hands down this song proudly holds first place in my Summer playlist! Can't say I'm all that fussed about the music video, but it's just so darn catchy!

2) Bills - Lunchmoney Lewis

Love it or lump it - I'm sure everyone is talking about this tune right now! I'm not surprised this tune has slowly grown on me. Infact, I'm almost certain it's a strong family favourite, heavily blasting from our speakers down the motorway!

3) Bad Blood - Taylor Swift

Taylor never fails to impress me - such a talented woman with a powerful voice! If you haven't already seen the music video, (seriously where have you been?!) I highly recommend it - she looks incredible! *pauses for breath* 


4) See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth

For personal reasons, this song holds a lot of meaning and one that is unbelievably close to my heart. I can't help but get emotional every time it plays, but it certainly brings up some beautiful memories!

5) Where Are U Now - Skrillex & Duplo ft Justin Bieber

Who would have thought Justin Bieber and Skrillex would sound so good?! Never been a big fan of either artists, but I couldn't help falling in love with these beats. Definitely a feel good tune for this summer!


I hope you like my choice in music and I can't wait to update you with some new chart-toppers next month!

Bye for now! Xxx

JUNE ROUNDUP...

Hey there!

It's that time again - yet another month has come and gone. June welcomed in the warmer weather - perfect for a nice tan and cute, floral clothing. You may be aware if you're an avid reader of mine, that I have been lacking in posts. It's fair to say I've been extremely busy, as mentioned in my last post - enjoying life to the fullest, meeting new people and embracing the sunshine!

This month was certainly a busy one, such a great welcoming to the start of Summer! The weather was absolutely beautiful and some great memories were made.

Day Trip to Groombridge

Hey there!



This half term, we were lucky enough to be treated with some sunshine. I had a bad feeling that the week would drag - judging by the rainy start, but it soon brightened up by Thursday and so my family tried to cram in as much as we could! 

As the weather was warming up, we couldn't waste away the gorgeous sunshine, so took a day trip down to Groombridge at the weekend. It was a beautiful day, filled with woodland walks, flower gardens, birds of prey performances and a short boat ride. Here you can see what we got up to:

MAY ROUNDUP...

Hey there!

It's the end of another busy month and the start of a fresh one! So much has happened in the past few weeks and it's all been so exciting. I can't believe how quick this has come and gone, but the weather is getting warmer and everyone seems much happier! Summer always gets me going, motivating me to get out of bed and embrace the sun, meaning more things to blog about. May was an eventful month - full of exams, revision, relief, relaxation and celebration!

Last month has definitely been the busiest yet and I have a few treats lined up for the next one. Let's hope the weather only gets better!

Bye for now! Xxx

New Purchases!

Hey there!

I know I said I wouldn't be making another post on this blog until all my exams are over, but I just couldn't help myself! I heard there were some bargains in Boots and couldn't resist popping in and spending a little, treating myself to a few purchases I've been wanting for a while! 



Garnier - Summer Body Moisturizing Lotion
Living in England, it's not often the sun comes out, so when it does you have to embrace it! However, I am extremely pale and it takes me forever to get a good tan, (before burning first!) After reading many reviews on this product and seeing it being rated so highly, I knew I just had to try this out! Enriched with natural extract of apricot, perfect for lighter skin tones, leaving it feeling soft and supple - you can't get much better than that.  It smells absolutely amazing and I'm so excited to use this product over spring to get the perfect summer tan! Currently priced at £2.55 instead of £5.20 - what a bargain! 


Garnier Ultimate Blends - Shampoo and Conditioner
Ever since I was a young girl, my hair has always been thick, curly and frizzy! I do love my hair and am extremely thankful for my straighteners, but sometimes it can get out of hand and often very tangled. These products I found were another hype among bloggers and so naturally, I was intrigued! Made with coconut oil and coconut butter, this blend was tailor-made especially for dry, frizzy hair. I have always been a big fan of coconut smelling products, so this seemed like the perfect combination of products for me. I was extremely happy with the price of these too with shampoo priced at £1.95 instead of £3.89 and conditioner £1.95 instead of £3.89 - great bargains!


Overall, I managed to save myself £6.45, so I'm extremely happy with my purchases and am excited to try them all out!

Get yours now whilst the sale is still on! Xxx
