WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS/MY 21ST

By -
Hey guys, long time no speak! I can't believe it's been over two weeks since I wrote a blog post and whilst it has felt strange not posting every single day, I can tell you I have not missed it. It's not because I don't love blogging, because I do, but I think I just really needed- and deserved!- the break!

Now I'm back and am really excited for some of the content I have planned for 2017! Admittedly, today's post is a bit of a basic one, filled with a lot more photo's and a lot less writing, but I promise I do have some really good posts planned out! Today I just wanted to share with you the gifts my lil' gang (BJ, Alec and Carda) got me for Christmas and for my 21st birthday! Now, yes, my 21st birthday was over 2 months ago but I didn't get to see BJ and Carda until the 8th January to open their gifts for me- and there was 21 of them! The pair of them (aka, Carda) had been collecting gifts for pretty much the entire year leading up to my birthday and I was utterly overwhelmed with how thoughtful and lovely all my gifts were. They all have a back story, as do all my Christmas gifts from them and from Alec, so I wanted to share them on the blog with you guys!


21st Birthday gifts from BJ and Carda
They know how much I loved my Kylie Lip Kits, so this gorgeous, nude, liquid lip set was ideal for me! 



Ever the nail fanatic, I absolutely adored getting this vanity case full of nail-related goodies! Particularly the JLS nail transfers...
How cute is this little stationery set for me?


These pink high heels threw me off at first, I thought they looked a bit weird in shape...it turns out that they're speakers! SO me, and so good too!





I love unicorns. Simple as that.


I've cut off so many people in 2016 and I want to get fit, this pink punching bag with the option to put  photo of someones face in is perfect for me right? 


How cute is this though? 


Pink, alcohol...yep, this is fab.




How sweet is this organisational memo board Carda made for me? I thought this was the cutest thing ever!


Best friends forever x


I love Gossip Girl, you'll all know me and the gang have regular game nights, so this is the perfect gift!




These saucy post it's are right up my street! 





This gorgeous Alice in Wonderland book is definitely one of my favourite gifts!




Christmas gifts from BJ, Carda and Alec!





How sweet is this gift? BJ knows I love having my hard boiled eggs for lunch so bought me these egg moulds! 




Ricarda called this a 'glitter box', everything in it was all sparkly!!



A "house warming" gift from Alec for my new home!


So as you can see, I was incredibly spoiled by my wonderful best friends and I was totally overwhelmed by how much love and thought had gone into each of my gifts. I love my friends so much and I am so grateful for all of these lovely presents!

Did you get- or even give- an incredibly thoughtful gift for Christmas? Let me know what it was in the comments below! 

Love from,

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
