Hi guys, I don't know about you but this has got to be one of my favourite times of the year. All of the changes in colours to the leaves, the dark nights and the opportunity to light candles and switch on fairy lights excites me. I'm excited for all the things that autumn brings, the fact that I can now officially wear a jumper outside and not have to worry about being too warm. I'm excited by the fact I can pull out my old scarf, that holds so many memories, and wear it again. I can't wait to have pampered nights in with my fluffy dressing gown on and a face mask with candles lit giving such a cosy atmosphere. I can't wait for Halloween and to see my nieces reaction to everything for her 1st year. There are already places selling all the little bags of sweets and they are literally heaven for me because I can have a small bag or two without feeling guilty. I also can not wait for bonfire night. It has got to be one of my favourite nights of every year. C...

Hi Guys,  I am so lucky!! I am so grateful for everything that's been done for me for my birthday, beyond lucky for everything that has been brought for me. I can't believe I have had such an amazing day. This is what I got for my birthday:  From my mom, I got these three Me to You bears all with 21 on them. I love them all but I'd have to say that the snow globe is my favourite, I have never owned a snow globe and it is the prettiest thing ever.  The Next Present is the most unique present I have ever received. My mom and my Stepdad got together to hand make this beautiful box, it has the date of my 21st on the top, so I will never forget the year it was. It has a wine glass inside that has been hand decorated with glitter. It also has a key with a real rose pearl on it straight from an oyster. It has got to be one of the most special gifts I have ever received.  . The last three include this keyring on the left filled wit...

Hi, guys, it’s official since September 23rd, I am 21!! For this birthday, I had no idea what was happening, my boyfriend and his family met up with my family and spoke in secret around me for over a month trying to make the day special for me. I can say now that it has been the best birthday I have ever had. But before the day I spent some time getting myself ready so I knew I looked photo ready. I did my nails, hair, really took care of my skin, changed my diet, and chose a special outfit.  I did my nails like this because I wanted something different and special. I wanted them to be noticeable against my outfit as well as to match them. I used Rimmel London 60 second shine in 800 black out and Super gel by Kate in 012 Soul Session. For extra detailing, I also used Kiko Milano Smart fast dry nail lacquer in this beautiful copper colour. I prepped my hair the week before with Percy and Reed Wonder Overnight Recovery, this made my hair feel amazing it completel...

I know this is not something that really goes with the theme of my blog but I need some answers if anyone has them. I've been looking for jobs for the past month and applying for about 5 or 6 a day everyday, sometimes more, sometimes less; depending on what's available, who's hiring and what I know I am capable of doing. And I only have one interview. Some of the jobs have not got back to me at all,  sometimes they say to take that as a rejection. And others have emailed me to tell me I'm not suitable. My only question is WHAT DO THEY WANT? I know sometimes they want someone who has experience but how can we gain experience when people won't employ us in the first place.. I know I am probably no good because of my age and companies will have to pay out more because national minimum wage is more for me than for someone that is younger. But if that's the case then that is just wrong. I just want to know some ways of making myself and maybe someone who is...

Hello everyone, Have you ever wanted to just be able to do everything you wanted but you've felt sometimes there could be things holding you back. I know, there's a list of things I want to do and no matter what obstacles are in my way, I am going to try my very hardest to do them. Some of the things on my list are very life driven and are forever things. And some are just objects but things that I want to work for and to get as a little reward for working so hard.  So here it is: Be happy/ Make my partner happy Me and my boyfriend are very happy together and I wouldn't change anything for the world. I wish that we stay together and our relationship is as strong as it is now, in 50 years time. Find a career I want to find a job in my life where I feel like I am doing something to help others, but I want a job where over time and with determination and hard work I can progress and gain more experience and climb the ladder. I want to become a team l...

Living with my boyfriend was an amazing idea and I was so happy I did it. Yes, granted I didn’t have much choice he lived closer to my job than I did so it seemed like a logical thing to do. But it was an amazing experience. The first week after I moved it was the most loved up to put it into context. We couldn’t stop smiling at each other or holding hands or cuddling when watching TV. None of that has changed even now, we are still the same when we see each other on the weekends when I’m home from UNI. Now we don’t argue, not like some couples do, we can’t sit there and shout at each other. I can’t shout at that face of his, it is just too cute. We do the awkward thing of the silent treatment and I don’t know why but it works for us. It allows us time to think and have a little time to ourselves even if we are lying in the bed together. And then one of us will cuddle up to the other and we will talk it out. I don’t know if that will change over the years of us being together or i...

Valentine’s day 2016 Now I know most of you are going to look at eh date and either thing I’m weird or I have gone mad. But I want to write up what happened last valentine’s day so I don’t forget it when it comes to this one.   February 13 th 2016. We got into his dad’s car and started on our journey. I can’t remember where we were going only that it wasn’t the direction we were travelling in. we chatted in the car while his dad drove and then his dad slipped out with ‘It’s definitely Darby isn’t it’. Well that gave away where we were going but not what we were going to be doing there. So, all he said was ‘I’m taking you shopping first’. When we pulled in into Darby and took our bags out the boot I was so confused. I packed a bag to stay overnight somewhere anyway. So, after we said goodbye to his dad we walked towards the town. He then walked into a hotel and went to check in. I was so surprised I has no idea what to do. I just stood there. We weren’t allowed to che...

Trying to find a job? I know this experience all too well and I know it’s hard. I have been searching for a job since the age of 16, as soon as I could I was looking. I have been to several interviews and have had practically no look. I got accepted for one, to be a waitress, and I loved it. I did all the training and attended everything I had to on time, looking my best. I did some experience in an actual restaurant setting and might I say it was the best work that I have ever done. Something about helping make other people’s night enjoyable was amazing for me. But as soon as it came to moving into the restaurant I was supposed to be moving to (it was still being built, how exciting). I got fired. For a silly reason, really. I didn’t receive an e-mail.  I had to pick up a security pass and I didn’t receive the email that had the timings on it. Now for someone who hates talking on the phone, I called my manager up straight away when I found out the timing from a colleague. I a...

Happy 2017 to you!!! (We are only 11 days in but it feels like a month has already past) For the start of a year you always hear people say, 'New Year New Me', and in some aspects, if they stick to it, it can be a good thing. But why does a new year have to result in you changing yourself? If you wanted to do that what was stopping you doing it on December 8th, or another random time in the year? I think a new year can welcome so many new things into this world, for me I welcomed my little Step-niece. She is the most adorable tiny human being ever and I love her so much.  So back to the point, I was making, I’ve done it. Even though I have just made a mockery out of it, I have done it. I’m going to make this year a good year for me. I want to start thinking of myself more. I want to get fit, as I have zero fitness, which is terrible for a dancer and I want to eat more healthily. Even though I am the biggest lover of all things chocolate. I have a diary, and i...
