Things I'm looking forward to about summer!

By -


Summer is on it's way- at last! I always think that I love winter more than summer, but when it gets to this time of year and events are planned, holidays are booked, the weather gets warmer and the days get longer...well, I just know that I'm a summer girl at heart! I've got a pretty good summer ahead of me this year, so I thought I'd share with you a list of all the things I'm looking forward to about Summer 2016!


1) Holiday!
This year I'm going on holiday with my three best pals, BJ, Alec and Ricarda. We have hired out our own private cottage, right on the beach, and I couldn't be more excited! Not only because I get to see my friends for five consecutive days rather than one day every other week but also because I've never been on holiday with friends before! I can't wait!





2) Gigs and festivals!
Whilst I'm not camping at any festivals this year, I am attending two for one day each, and having never been to a festival before I am crazy excited! I am off to Electric Daisy Carnival and Wireless and I have plans to look allllll summery and cute for both, dying my hair lilac and baby pink for each! I am also going to see the legend herself, Beyonce...and words can't explain how much I am looking forward to that.

3) Tattoo time.
Two years ago I planned my first- and only- tattoo. However, I've never been brave enough to get it! This summer, I'm hoping to grow a pair and get it done so I can show it off in summery crop tops! Fingers crossed hey...

4) Summer fashion.
Whilst I love layering in autumn and winter as much as the next girl, summer clothes are just so god damn cute! Frills, lace, crop tops and bright, bold colours- one of my favourite combinations is turquoise and gold! Also, let's not even begin to discuss the fabulous sunglasses, sandals and swimwear available each year too!





5) Picnics.
I love food, I love sunshine, mix the two together and you get picnics! I love preparing a picnic, choosing somewhere to go and then relaxing on a blanket in the sunshine with good food and good people. Perfect.

6) BBQ's.
Better than picnics? BBQ's! Big fat burgers, tasty hot dogs, potato salad and alcoholic beverages with your friends in the sunshine are the best thing ever, am I right?





7) Decorating my room.
Today I spent just shy of £100 on summer themed bedroom decor for mine and my sisters room! It's all metallic and bright and bold and just gorgeous. I can't wait to do it all up!

The final words to my ex.

By -

Today's blog post is late, I know, but that's because it's been very hard for me to write.  This is going to be the last time I write about my ex boyfriend and my previous relationship. Effectively, I am giving it all a final goodbye.  Of course  I know my relationship ended on New Year's Eve. Unofficially, it probably ended long before then. I haven't seen my ex since 27th of December, since last year, which is a really weird thought. And whilst I had accepted it was over, I had a teeny tiny part of me that still loved him and hoped we would get back together.  I had deleted him from all social media except facebook, boxed up all of my things from him and taken down all of the photos. I got a new phone (by coincidental timing) and did not keep his number, nor did I send him my new one. But I kept him on facebook so we had some way of getting in touch should we need to talk about anything (getting back together).  And then I was told he wa...

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

By -
It never fails to make me smile when I get nominated for a bloggers award out of the blue, and it never fails to make me smile when I am called an inspiration- making my nomination for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award from A Blogs Life one that made me overly happy indeed! A Blogs Life is a very unique styled blog, and the only one of it's kind that I follow- it is run by all the family, which I think is incredibly sweet! So thank you to the whole lot of you for nominating me- I appreciate it more than you know! The Rules 1) After being nominated, write a post, starting off with a mention of the blogger who nominated you, as a small thank you to them! 2) Have a bit of fun and come up with seven facts about yourself.  3) Nominate 15 bloggers that inspire you for the award! The problem with being nominated for bloggers awards, is that they nearly always ask you for facts about yourself! On top of this, I recently did a post named "50 facts about me" ...

#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 -...
