#2 10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week!

Hey there,

Is it just me or does anyone else feel that this week has been the longest week so far? I'm starting to become impatient for spring to arrive - I'm fed up of struggling to roll out of bed in the morning, fed up of the freezing cold and fed up of waking up for work in the morning in the dark. I must admit the frost is beautiful, but I'm getting tired of having to wear three pairs of socks whenever I decide to brave the cold! Despite the drop in temperature, there were many moments which made it a lovely week.  

1. Catching up with old friends.

2. Coming home to my favourite dinner on the table.

3. Hearing the words 'I Love You'

4. Reading some lovely comments on my blog.

5. Deep thinking whilst gazing up at the stars on my evening walks home.

6. Reminiscing my childhood - breathing into the cold air, pretending to be a dragon.

7. Planning a holiday away with my boyfriend.

8. Embracing my local area, playing with my favourite cat.

9. Receiving an invite to prom.

10. Having that Friday feeling.

What's made you happy this week?

My Top 5: Disney Films

Hey there,

I felt like it was time to introduce a new series to my little slice of the Internet. I've read posts by my favourite bloggers from this series before, so in no way is this an original idea, but I must admit I was definitely inspired! Last month, I shared with you a sneak-peak of my Top 5 Christmas films in my Blogmas series, which you can catch up on here and there's no better way to spark off this series than with my Disney favourites!

No matter what age, they'll always be a place in your heart for some light-hearted Disney magic - especially when it's bitter cold outside! 

1) Frozen



Judge me all you want, but Frozen is definitely in my Top 5 for Disney films. Can you believe it's been an entire year already since this was released? I find myself singing along to the soundtrack almost too much, but can you really blame me? Frozen is perfect for this time of year and I can assure you it will be my go-to film this Christmas! 'Let it go, let it go...!'

2) Tangled

 

Another one of my favourites is the magical rendition of Rapunzel - Tangled. Growing up, I spent endless hours wishing my hair would gracefully tumble down my shoulders. I envied her lovely, long locks and hoped that one day a handsome, young man would swoop me off my feet, just like in the films - how naive!

3) Peter Pan



You can't forget about the good ol' Disney classics! Peter Pan was always a much-loved favourite of mine as a child. As a young girl, I was never a big fan of Disney princesses - a plate of biscuits and a bunch of pirates seemed to sort me out, (strange child, I know!) I loved the idea of never having to grow up, if only it were true!

4) Lady & the Tramp



Yet another classic Disney film - how could I possibly leave this one off the list? I've always had a soft spot for dogs and I love to curl up on the sofa with a romantic movie, dipping into a selection of chocolates. It's not surprising this heart-warming Disney film made it into my top 5. 

5) Wreck It Ralph



From the moment I saw the trailer for Wreck It Ralph, I knew I just had to watch it. I managed to drag my entire family along with me to the cinema. I would honestly recommend to it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet - I was practically glued to the screen!

Let me know in the comments what your favourite Disney films are...

My Year In Photos {2014}

Hey there!

Reflecting back on last year, 2014 really wasn't that bad! For me, it was a year of new beginnings, participating in new experiences and mastering the first step to boosting my self-confidence! It was also the year I fell in love with my camera - sounds vain, I know!

I'd never been a big fan of Instagram - the idea of using hashtags scared me! Seriously though, I can't even remember what i used to do before this app took over my life.I know I definitely can't live without it now! I just love to document my life, taking shots of places and events I wish to remember forever. I love flicking back through my old scrapbooks and photo albums - reliving those moments of my life where I felt blissfully happy, remembering those special memories I've shared with loved ones whom are sadly no longer with me and cringing at all the hideous clothes and hairstyles my parents tortured me with over the years.

I thought I'd share with you some of my happiest moments from 2014!

10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week!

Hey there!

I'll be honest, this year hasn't had the best of starts - things have been a bit rocky where relationships are concerned and everything else has just been one huge rollercoaster of emotions, but I'm getting there! I'm determined that this year will welcome a massive change in my life and bring out the better side of me. Already I've had so much support from a whole range of people and have caught up with my old friends again. However, despite the fact that this week hasn't run as smoothly as I'd hoped, it's taught me an awful lot and made me realise what I often take for granted!

1. Making someone smile by sharing a funny story.

2. Catching up with some of my blogging friends online.

3. Late night chats on the phone with my boyfriend.

4. Receiving useful advice from my supportive friends and family.

5. Lighting my favourite Yankee candle after a long day at work.

6. Finishing my first book of 2015.

7. Feeling motivated to push myself this year to achieve my goals.

8. Relaxing with my most loved films on Netflix.

9. Clearing my mind with some classic tunes and a bubble bath.

#3 Blogmas - Favourite Christmas Films

Hey there!

After a hard day at work, there's nothing better than to run a warm, bubble bath, froth up a hot chocolate and snuggle on the sofa watching festive films with the family - the perfect way to welcome December, especially on a brisk, winter's night!

I've always been a huge fan of Christmas - in-fact, I absolutely love it! It's never too early to get wrapped up in the excitement to Christmas and the build-up to Christmas is always exciting with the Coca Cola and John Lewis adverts appearing on our screens. You know it's Christmas when the festive films are broadcasted everywhere! From Christmas classics that leave you in tears to those romantic love scenes under the mistletoe that make your hearts melt and those ones that have you in stitches - I love them all! 

#3 My Favourite Christmas Films

Here are my Top 5 most-loved Christmas films:

1) Elf



No Christmas film list is complete without Elf! This modern day movie always has me in stitches, no matter how many times I watch it - all hail Will Ferrel, he's absolutely brilliant!

2) The Muppet's Christmas Carol

Christmas isn't the same without a trip down memory lane with a Muppet's Christmas Carol - the most-watched and fantasy-comedy film at Christmas! This jolly, heart-warming classic never fails t to put me in the festive mood. I can't help, but sing along to all the Christmas tunes  

3) Arthur



It's not surprising that this film's appeared in my Top 5 - I love a good animated movie! Answering those all important questions for children at Christmas time and bringing back the magic to those who lost that spark growing up! 

4) Nativity



Who doesn't love a film for all the family at Christmas? I was hooked by the trailers immediately, it wasn't surprising that I headed straight for the cinema. You'll instantly fall in love with the kids - I know I did! This film definitely puts a twist on the famous Bible story and will definitely give you the giggles!

5) The Grinch Who Stole Christmas



As a young girl, I was an avid bookworm and spent my childhood with my head in a book - no matter what time of day! Dr Seuss was a huge favourite of mine and this rendition of the Grinch is a classic film to watch at Christmas! Cyndey Lou reminds me of how innocent and naive I used to be and Jim Carey plays the Grinch to perfection. I can't ever fault this film!

If you liked my first day of Blogmas, I would recommend you challenge yourself to this festive tag - it would be nice to read some of your posts!

#2 Blogmas - What Christmas Means to Me

Hey there!

Christmas is soon approaching us and the festive lights are slowly illuminating the streets, decorating the rooftops with Christmas cheer! People constantly bustling around the shops, armed with bags - the atmosphere buzzing with excitement! As a non-believer, I have very different opinions  about the meaning of Christmas compared to those with religious commitments. However, I respect their views and embrace their celebrations during this joyous occasion!

#2 What Christmas Means To Me

Read on to discover my ideas of what Christmas means to me:

amily

As mentioned in my previous post, I've always surrounded myself with family and close friends at Christmas. I treasure these moments dearly, as everyone gathers round together to share this festive celebration! Being a busy teenager with a heavy-load at work and a huge social life, I rarely have any spare time to share with my parents. Therefore, Christmas is the perfect time to spend quality time with your loved ones, embracing their company! 

Food

No time to worry about food babies or growing a slight tummy over Christmas. How can you resist a steamy roast dinner on a day like this? My mum is the queen of the kitchen - hurrying around, knee deep in saucepans, preparing our delicious roast. Trust me, she cooks to perfection! It's almost impossible to watch a Christmas film without a tub of Roses resting on your lap. No stocking is complete without a candy cane hanging out the top  and you can't forget to decorate the Christmas tree with an endless supply of chocolate treats!  

Giving

I love to spoil my family with an array of presents. There's no better feeling than to watch your loved ones slowly untie the ribbon and tear the wrapping paper open to reveal your gift - it's a warm glow I'll never forget!

If you liked my first day of Blogmas, I would recommend you challenge yourself to this festive tag - it would be nice to read some of your posts!

NOVEMBER ROUNDUP...

Hey there!

It's coming to the end of yet another busy month - starting to think I'm becoming an extreme social butterfly! So many new beginnings have sprung upon me in the space of such a short time and too many people have come and gone, but soon my life will finally start to fall into place. However, my Christmas shopping is yet to begin - bustling crowds and stressy people are definitely not my thing! 

Unfortunately, the weather has not been on my side this month - dull, wet and windy, typically British! Nevertheless, this didn't stop me from having fun - catching up with friends, travelling backwards and forwards to my new job and partying with my boyfriend!

(left to right: 2 Months With Lewis/ Snuggling in Cosy Jumper/ Remembrance Day/ New Job/ Fireworks Night/ Mad Party/ Onesie Evening/ Early Morning Sunshine/ Family Gathering)

Honestly, I couldn't think of a better way to spend this bitter, winter month. Not long now until Christmas - definitely excited for the days leading up the festive holiday!

*Today is a Gift, That's Why they Call it the Present... #AngelAddiction!

Hey there!

After scrolling through my dashboard and catching up with my favourite bloggers posts during my lunch break, I stumbled upon a much loved blogger of mine - Jess. She writes so beautifully about a whole range of topics - fashion, lifestyle, beauty etc and would definitely recommend checking her blog if you're nosy like me! I realised that I haven't responded to many challenge ideas on my blog recently and jumped at the chance to take part in a fun tag after reading Jess's recent post . Angel Perfume by Theirry Mugler challenging bloggers to create their own mood board expressing their most valued addictions from present day and from your past - I was instantly inspired to try it myself!

I've always believed that a picture speaks 1000 words and what better way to show off my most valued addictions, than a collage of all my favourite snaps! Food, friends and family are my most important f's. First of all, who doesn't love food? I love to venture out to new restaurants out with friends, experiencing new flavours and trying new dishes! Date nights are always fun when there's food involved! My friends and family definitely had to make it on my life - they pick me up when I'm feeling low and support me through thick and thin. Looking back on the memories I've shared - I wouldn't change a thing about them. I love how they've never let me down and have been constant throughout my past, present and future! Finally, before I start the cheese, trips are a long lasting addiction of mine. I love long car journeys and flying abroad to hot countries, I've been all over the UK and spent a week away in Wales, but nothing compared to the trip away to Italy with my friends - handsome Italian men, endless amounts of pizza and pasta and gorgeous weather!  

Above all else on this list, my most loved addiction is without a doubt my boyfriend. Before I met him, I'd always been terribly insecure - never wanting to smile without shying away, fearing that everywhere I'd go people would judge me and never wanting to trust anyone with my life. Since I've been with Lewis, I've felt my life being positively impacted and changed for the better. He made me understand that I am beautiful, no matter what anyone says and taught me not to care what others have to say. The most important thing is to realise - 'the people that mind, don't matter and the people that matter, don't mind!' I cherish every single moment I spend with him - whether that be on cosy nights in or cute evenings out because he's who's created the confident person I am today and I never want to lose someone as special as him.

Say No To Smoking!

Hey there!

First of all, apologies for the lack of posts I've been uploading to my little slice of the Internet. Life has just completely taken over and I'm slowly climbing my dream ladder of success. My boyfriend and I are stronger than ever and my new job is absolutely perfect! However, this means that the time I have to draft and upload content is scarce. I miss reading and replying to your lovely comments and pouncing on my blog, just to simply spill my brain out for you. This does not mean I'll neglect my blog forever, but my posts will be far and few, so stay tuned! 

Now the intro's over and done with, I can share my exciting news! Today marks my 2 week smoke-free life! For a while now I've been determined to stop this bad habit of mine, but the process of it seemed harder than I thought. 

Smoking Kills, Smoking Causes Fatal Lung Cancer, Smokers Die Younger were only a few of the messages I saw plastered everywhere. As scary as they may seem, no matter how many times I was threatened with this on the back of a crushed up cigarette packet, I was convinced my habits were here to stay! I was surrounded by smokers on a daily basis and my hunger for cigarettes increased dramatically. I'd never wanted to become a heavy smoker, but my craving was becoming a huge issue for me and that was when I realised I needed to stop. 

I can't believe I've managed to maintain this new lifestyle change and it may not seem like a big deal to non-smokers, but it's a huge adjustment for me. There are so many perks to quit smoking:
No longer will I have to overload myself with  a ridiculous amount of Hollister perfume before entering my house. No longer will I have to worry about walking a mile ahead to avoid my non-smoking friends. No longer will I be faced with death stares as I brush past protective mothers and judgemental elderly folk.

My boyfriend was also a heavy smoker, but decided to support my decision and joined me. I won't lie to you and say my cravings have gone entirely, Lewis and I have occasional times where we could do with a cigarette. It's hard to explain... I blame it on the regular smoking habits and the fact that smoking became a conclusion for all my problems. However, despite this I've definitely seen an improvement in my health and cannot wait to see what the future holds!

Panic No More!

Hey there!

Following up from my last post on mental health, I thought it would be a good idea to write a blog post about one of the less-spoken about issues - panic attacks! Due to the lack of information and advertisements on this subject, many people are oblivious about this aspect of mental health. However, panic attacks affect a large majority of people and fall under one of the most common types of disorders, closely linked with anxiety.  

As an anxiety sufferer myself, this is a difficult subject to talk about and it frustrates me that even after hours of explaining, I'll never truly be able to make someone understand my emotions. Therefore, I feel it's my duty to write and inform others of the effects of anxiety, to help give you a better understanding and display ways in which you can show support. I dedicate this blog post specifically to my boyfriend as I've noticed in previous situations, he's had little idea how to diffuse the situation and sat helplessly, worrying on my behalf. Although recently I have seen an improvement, I still feel this would be a useful post - not only for him, but for many others having to deal with similar cases. 

Anxiety is an awful feeling, which can be extremely difficult to control and is often triggered unexpectedly - whether that be through fear or stress. In brief, anxiety is a sudden feeling of dread, a rush of intense psychological and physical symptoms. The individual often feels alone, trapped and unable to escape - most often, fearing their life. Side effects include feeling nauseous, light-headed, headaches, blurry vision and/or general feelings of disorientation.

Everyone in their lifetime suffer with different levels of this, ranging from a small worry about facing school tomorrow to a major event such as using public transport. However, stress isn't always a bad thing - if you were always calm and collected, homework tasks and mundane chores would never get completed. Only extreme cases of anxiety can lead to panic attacks, which feel scary and life threatening to the individual. 

As mentioned above, it's not always easy to understand how to deal with an anxiety sufferer in their time of need if you've never experienced a panic attack before. Therefore, I have listed some simple steps below to help diffuse a panicky situation: 

Step 1: if someone looks uncomfortable in a situation, offer some support - whether it be a smile or a gentle hug

Step 2: once involved, ensure that the sufferer is in a safe environment and protected from any potential harm

Step 3: try to understand how they're feeling and put yourself in their position

Step 4: remember that you are now in control of the situation, remain calm and maintain a soft tone of voice 

Step 5: remind your friend/relative that they're not alone and that you're going to help them get through this

Step 6: ensure you have good eye contact at all times and encourage the sufferer to slow their breathing by focusing their concentration on your breathing pattern

Step 7: play some gentle music and remain close until they feel at ease again

All Children, Except One, Grow Up!

Hey there!

It's that time of year again - time to get out those warm, fluffy jumpers, woolly socks, burning scented candles, drinking creamy hot chocolates. Time to say goodbye to those dusk evenings and long, summer days and welcome in the cool, moonlit nights and cosy snuggles by the fire, tucked up underneath a bunch of blankets. 

It's safe to say this month for me started as a special one! For so long, I'd spent my whole time longing and dreaming for this moment - the transition from a passionate teen with big dreams to a young adult ready to embrace the real world and finally, last Friday was when all the celebrations began!

This year, I was lucky enough to celebrate this special occasion with all of my family and friends. Early morning snuggles with my boyfriend on this cold, autumnal day was definitely the best way to begin my 18TH, playing some old classics from my childhood CD's. Followed by a chilled evening at my favourite restaurant with my family, drinking my first legal alcoholic drink and munching on birthday cake. The following evening's celebrations, my boyfriend and I took a trip down to the local pub, because you can't celebrate your 18TH properly without a good few cocktails. It's safe to say that night will be a memory, never to be forgotten! So, to wrap up my busy weekend, I couldn't resist, but to spend my final birthday evening with a bunch of my close friends and a Chinese buffet - yummy!

Becoming an adult comes with adult responsibilities, stresses and a heavy workload! I'm now fully legal of age, responsible for my actions, that I can no longer blame on a younger sibling or pass onto another family member! I'll miss my childish sense of humour, the pranks I used to get away with and most of all, being able to borrow some small change from my parents or expecting to find my bedroom spotless! However, I'll no longer do I need to suffer the deep, penetrating fear of being sent away empty handed from shops with no proof of ID. No longer will I have to rely on my parents permission to go out for a good night!

But as the title of this post suggests, I am determined to be that exception - the girl who'll settle comfortably by the fire in her Bambi pyjama's, watching back-to-back Disney films, hoping for her fairytale to come true. Let's see how long this lasts for!

Bye for now! Xxx

30 DAY CHALLENGE

Hey there!

A tag I've seen flying around the Internet a lot recently is the 30 Day Challenge. As a lazy blogger, lacking in inspiration and creativity, this was perfect for me! I was first introduced to this via Alice's blog and was so excited to write mini posts on these topics, updating  and sharing with you personal bits of my life. I thought this would be a real challenge to get stuck into and so decided that this will become a series of posts that I will be uploading to my blog!

(WARNING: prepare yourself for some proper cheese!)

                                    

Day 01 - Your Current Relationship

The transformation between being a young girl and becoming a teenager made me realise that relationships have never been for me - full of responsibilities, commitments and stress! I would find myself in them when I was younger thinking I looked cool with the rest of the group, but it never felt right - I just wasn't interested. I often got caught up with the wrong crowds and never found the right boy for me, just a few 'young love' moments. It all seemed like a bit of fun at the time, nothing too serious, but as time passed and the 'relationship' moved on, that soon changed and it got a bit scary! Luckily, I managed to escape them without it getting too crazy - saving myself from any pressure and fear. However, despite this, I can't say all of my relationships finished perfectly, there were some tough break-ups and harsh endings. It was all of this that knocked my confidence, lost my trust in others and held me back from becoming close with anyone!

However, over the last year I have been talking to a good friend called Lewis. He was nothing more than a friend and we were never really close. Last month, I felt like it was the right time to meet this mystery guy. At first I felt cautious - I hadn't been in a proper relationship in a while and I wasn't completely comfortable with it. However, I decided to take a new approach towards him! We found ourselves in deep conversation for endless hours each evening - messing about, flirting and just getting to know one another. There was never a dull moment, he made me feel so comfortable and always made sure that I slept well. As time moved on, we grew to trust one another and learnt to confide and share our emotions and experiences. It was then that I realised he was like no other guy I had been with before - such a hopeless romantic with a warm heart and a beaming smile, a soppy guy with a fragile ego, but his cheeky personality always shines through.

For anyone that's interested, we've been together a little over a week now. I know it hasn't been all that long, but I feel we've definitely connected well together. This is just the beginning and I feel there are many more months ahead of us!

Bye for now! Xxx

LUSH Cosmetics Bluewater VIP Event - 17/08/14

Hey there!

Apologies for taking so long to write this post, but I've just been super busy with a whole bunch of things for the past few weeks, that I have barely had any time for myself! 

I'm sure you all know, after reading my many blog posts and watching my YouTube channel that I have a huge obsession with the shop LUSH - known for their amazing 'fresh handmade' bath products. As an avid blogger, I jumped at the opportunity when I was informed of an announcement on their social media page. So you can imagine how excited I was to finally be selected to take part in the first ever Bloggers Event in Bluewater at LUSH. Infact, we were all looking forward to it, especially the staff, who were eager to meet us and hold their first event!

WARNING: we were encouraged to take as many pictures as possible during the event, so this may become a picture heavy post!

I was lucky enough to be accompanied by one of my friends, who's post can be found here! We were treated to some refreshing cocktails to welcome us into the event, along with a tray of tropical fruits, which tasted sensational. 

As an icebreaker, the staff encouraged us to mingle together, allowing us to discuss blogging styles, before introducing us to the agenda, sharing with us some secrets about the tasty drinks we'd been given on our arrival. The previous evening, we were sent a sneak peek video hinting at the hands-on activities we were getting involved in, which started the hype! I was thrilled when the ingredients were set in-front of us, ready for bath bomb making - the smells overwhelmed us all, filling the shop with sensational scents. This was what I had been excited for the previous evening, so I couldn't wait to get my hands stuck in! It was a great experience and my bath bomb turned out amazing!

We were introduced to the new range of sunblock products, which smelt incredible! The girls briefly talked about each one, offering us tips and a demonstration on how to use them. We were then given the opportunity to take turns massaging the products into our friend's arm. This was a fun task, which left our arms feeling smooth and protected from the sun. Not only had I walked into the event dazzled by the scents of LUSH, but I left smelling of it too!

We were lucky enough after this fun-filled event, to be handed a free goodie bag on the way out, full of a whole range of products from the LUSH store - my favourite being the Grass shower gel. This product has such a strong, autumnal scent - perfect for these couple of months. I love how it feels on the skin and I would strongly recommend it!

Finally, for all my avid followers, you should know how hard it is for me to walk away from the store without any purchases. So. in addition to all of my other lovely free samples, I also treated myself to 'The Godmother' soap - a sweet, smelling, heavenly LUSH soap! 

If you would like to see what we got up to, you can find a link to my video here:

Over the next couple of months, I will be updating my blog with a bunch of reviews on these products so make sure you keep your eyes pealed. So if you're a blogger and live local then keep looking out for the next one - I would totally recommend it! 

Disclaimer: all pictures and footage for the vlog were taken by myself. However, I am not part of the company and am not helping promote it, just simply showing you clips of the event.

TMI TAG...

Hey there!

I have seen this tag been spread around the blog community recently and have decided to participate in it simply for the fun of it, but also so you can get to know more about me!

The questions listed below were ones I found on Natalie's blog. I have heavily cut them down, picking out the best ones to limit the length of the blog post... 

1. How old are you?

17 years old, 5 months until I'm 18 and very excited 

2. How tall are you? 

5ft 6 - average height and happy with it 

3. How much do you weigh? 

9st 3 last time I braved the scales - losing it slowly, hoping to get a figure I'm happy with for summer 

4. Any piercings?

My ear are pierced, but would love to have a belly button stud! I think they look extremely pretty!

5. Your favourite show?

TOWIE has always been a favourite of mine, but I am slowly starting to join the hype of My Mad Fat Diary

6. Favourite band and song?

Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down

A few years back I probably would have answered with One Direction - oh, how times have changed!

7. Favourite quote?

'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!' - Dr Seuss. Always has been and always will be

8. Your OTP? (one true pairing)

Liam and Rae from My Mad Fat Diary. They understand each other, are great together and share the same habits

9. Have you ever been in love?

I can honestly say that I have been and it feels amazing! I was treated like a princess and I couldn't be happier!

10. Qualities you look for in a partner?

They have to have a good sense of fashion and humour, great eyes, hair just long enough to play about with and smell great!

11. Something you miss?

Someone that I will always miss will be my Grandad. Sadly, he passed away when I was 13 and I loved him dearly. He was always there for me, spoilt me rotten and was fun to be around. He fought his battle for Cancer and sadly was defeated, but he will always be remembered! <3 

12. Reason for starting blogging?

I recently became a YouTube fanatic and started reading the blogs that linked to their channels. Zoe, Tanya and Louise, my favourite of them all, inspired me the most and without them, this blog would still be scribbles and brainstorms for future posts in my notebooks, yet to be published on the Internet

13. Fears? 
Besides the general fears of spiders, I also fear being trapped in cramped conditions, walking through horror mazes and not being able to have children 

14. Last thing that made you cry?
I recently broke down, as the sudden realization that my exams are less than a month away hit me and I am nowhere near prepared 

15. Last book you read?
I am currently reading 'One Day' by David Nicholls - a strongly recommended book to me 

16. Places you want to visit? 
I'd love to go Florida, mainly for Disneyland, but also for the gorgeous scenery and weather! Norway is another dream of mine to gaze up at the Northern Lights!

17. Last sport you played? 
I love to play badminton in my spare time and challenged my family to a game at the park yesterday

18. Last song that you sang? 
I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston. My favourite song to sing in the shower alongside Titanium and Rather Be 

19. Last time you hung out with someone?
Yesterday evening I spent my time walking round town with a good friend of mine. Hello, if you're reading this! ;)

20. Who should answer this tag next? 

I nominate Lewis, my best friend and new blogger and Emma, my favourite blogger, to take part in this tag! 

Bye for now! Xxx
