Currently Listening To...

I wasn't going to do one of these this week, purely because I always do these posts! And because I missed Monday and I always like them to go up on a Monday. However. I have come across a song that I just can't wait until next week to talk about, so I've had no other choice but to post a currently listening to... Despacito - Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee, this is the song. Bieber or no Bieber both are just as great, but I like the authenticity of the culture in the original. This song is just so so perfect, I have a secret little obsession with dance, especially salsa and this song has me going all salsa-queen around my house. It's so happy and upbeat and in Spanish. It's the perfect example of music doing what music does best, you don't need to know the words of a song for it to be great, and man this is a great song. And it's even more great when played very loud, I can't wait to be driving round in summer with the windows down and this song bl

Operation Change My Life: Being New Is Scary

So, I've been feeling the need to get things off my chest at the minute, I've got a lot on, and it's all very, very exciting stuff. My blog seems to be mostly centred around my droning, panicky moaning about "OMG I don't know what to do with my life!!" but things are starting to come together now, I somehow seem to coming across opportunities and things that are pointing me in a direction I like, a direction I can see a career coming from. I started "operation change my life" back in 2015 I think, in an attempt to full on improve everything about me, I was uncomfortable with everything in my life, I didn't like myself, I'd just come out of school after years of bullying and had a lot of hatred in me, I didn't like the way I looked, had no direction in life, and didn't take care of myself like I should. I wanted to become confident enough to be the person I wanted to be. And now, I can say that I'm well on my way there. I'

I'm trying to get back into blogging so bad, I don't know why I physically can't do it, I've had  busy start to the year, constantly doing things, working, not working, being at home and not doing anything but still somehow being busy... But today I've had a really good day, it's been fairly warm, very sunny and I've got lots done. I went down to the park I'm always posting about for the first time since last summer and it was so nice to be back. Then I got some housework done and listened to summer-happy songs, and it's a Monday so I can talk excitedly on my blog about these songs. Because Mondays are -or are supposed to be, Currently Listening To's. Love - Lana Del Rey , I've never been able to get into Lana Del Rey, I've tried and tried but just cannot connect with her music. However I'm always going back just in case something changes. And this time something did, I adore this song! It makes me feel like a cool 80s teen (all

Monthly Round Up: February 2017

Image
This year has had the most amazing start, I've done so many exciting things, including things outside of my comfort zone, things I'm proud of myself for doing. I've embarked on a fitness adventure, made trains my second home, gone a little crazy in an effort to bring some freshness and positivity in my life, hell, I even left my job. I feel like I'm really loving my life and it's great. At the end of January I came across an advert, which was advertising not a diet -a lifestyle change. A fitness community full of badass supportive girls who are girly af but so so hardcore. It's mostly an Instagram community, no fads, real hard work with the assistance of a beautiful community. So I became completely engrossed in that this month, eating really well, drinking lots of water, and working my body strong. I can't recommend it enough to people, it's amazing I'm obsessed with it. I've been on lots of adventures, to Nottingham for a drunken weekend wi

First Time Clubbing? My Tips And Tricks

Image
This past weekend me and my friends decided on a spontaneous drunken adventure in Nottingham city, we needed to forget about work and adult life, let our hair down, and dance the night away in a mind blurred, feet aching rage. And it was one of the best weekends of my life. I need to write about how great my weekend was, but I also remembered that the first ever time I went clubbing I was on the internet mass researching about what clubbing was like, how I should prepare, etc etc. I needed to know everything. So while I post about my great weekend I'm also going to share my personal wisdom to the world on how to have the greatest night ever. Preparing I take the entire day to get ready. I have to sleep in because you'll be out late, I have to have a bath and scrub, and face mask, and moisturise every. Single. part. of. my. body. I have to make my hair pretty, my makeup pretty... I love the process of getting ready for nights out. I have an addiction to buying dress

My Goals For 2017

I've been trying to get a post up since Christmas Eve! I've barely worked over Christmas because my brother has been off school and I've had to babysit while my mum works. So I've had a really nice relaxing week, although I can feel myself rotting away everyday I spend inside without fresh air. As it's the very first day of January today I've decided to finally write up a post, about my resolutions for the year and a quick summery of 2016 itself. 2016 was without a doubt a tragic year, filled with ridiculous people that don't need the name mentioning, and countless losses of celebrity childhood heroes, and personal ones too. And Brexit... it was all very eventful and caused a lot of division across the world. But also taught many the importance of being united. Hopefully 2017 will be much better, and here's to hoping we don't get a word war three. However personally, 2016 has been my happiest and favourite year to date. I overcame a lot of fears
