Day 14: My family!

Hello lovelies! 

Wow day 14 is not an easy one! I could be here for years talking about my family, I'm so lucky to have some amazing people around me, so I'm going to take this as an opportunity to talk about why these people are so special to me.

It's going to be chatty post so hang in there!

At the top of the list is my Mom, the most amazing woman I know. She inspires me so much, she's never given up on something no matter how difficult it is and she is always the person I go to when I need a pep talk.She works so hard and still manages to put everyone else first. 

Today is actually my moms birthday! Happy birthday Po! 

Next from the Prices, is my dad. I know everyone believes their Dad is  amazing, but I have never known anyone quite like my dad. I have never met such a hard working person in my life. He never stops and is always a phone call away when I need him. 

Whilst I'm away at uni, being homesick happens a lot but I'm definitely lucky to have a family here. My housemates really are the best I could ask for. They may be completely bonkers and say the weirdest stuff (I fit in well) but they're like siblings now. We certainly fight like it haha! 
I wouldn't have so many amazing memories of my first two years at uni if it wasn't for these guys. They calm me down when I get in a pre-deadline tizz, fetch me juice when I'm sick and watch Harry Potter on repeat! They're pretty awesome.



There is so many other people I could talk about, but anyone special to me knows it! 

Have a great rest of the week!

Day 13: Travel dreams!

Hello lovelies!

Apparently quarter to 1 in the morning is when I feel inspired to write a post, strange but I guess I'll roll with it! 

Well we've made it to day 13, almost half way and today's topic is a great one for me! Travelling has always been something I love, since I took my first solo trip to New Zealand. I definitely get bored staying in one place for too long! I've lived in Cambridge for two years now, and already I'm itching to try somewhere new! 

For me the travel excitement begins from the first look mention of a trip. Booking flights, finding somewhere to stay, reading a guidebook... I love every part of it, even packing! 

Am I the only one who absolutely adores flying. I've been told it's a little weird, but knowing you'll be stepping into completely different place at the end is the best feeling! 

Knowing I'll be in Cambs for another year, whilst reading about all the amazing places I can get work experience or even an actually job in, definitely inspires plenty of plans! 

There are so many countries I'm dreaming of at the moment so I'll stick with one for now..

Australia!

Everyone dreams of visiting Aus at some point, and who could blame them? To see every amazing thing over there, you would need years!

For me, the dream to head over there is much more than just sight-seeing. I have family there that I miss so much, including my beautiful siblings. 

To head over there and be shown around by family, I couldn't think of much better! 

Of course being a student means saving for this is taking longer than I hoped. But one day I'll be stepping off that plane in WA!

If you could have a free plane ticket to one place in the world, where would you pick?

Day 12: 5 weird things I like!

Hello Lovelies! 

Just a quick post today, I'm deep in revision this week!

So here are 5 weird things I like (some according to my housemates...)

 - having my hair played with

- creepy crawlies (except worms - eugh!)

- making lists 

- changing ends of my bed in the night

- eating frozen peas (still frozen)

I don't think they're that weird, especially making lists.. 

Of course revision is the last thing I want to be doing right now, so help me out with a little procrastination and tell me one weird thing about you! 

Good luck to everyone with deadlines, finishing dissertations and getting ready for exams!

Day 11: The last film I saw!

Hello Lovelies!

Day 11 bring us to the last film I saw... 

The Great Gatsby.

This film really does have to be one of the most visually beautiful I've ever seen! The 2013 film is based on the 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, telling the story of Nick Carraway and his encounter with the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio!!!).

I don't want to give away any of the plot for anyone who hasn't seen it, but I have to say I found it completely impossible not to fall in love with poor Gatsby, as he tells the tale of meeting Daisy! 

Other than the ever handsome Leo, the costuming for this film was stunning. The 1920's style is definitely a personal favourite anyway, but it was taken that little bit further in the film.
 Vintage MuiMui and Prada pieces gave an instant glamour whilst Tiffany's & Co archived jewels provided the sparkle.

Everyone should definitely give the sound track a listen too, featuring Jay Z and Lana Del Ray, there is something for most tastes!

Have you seen this film, what did you enjoy about it?

I'm still here!

Hello lovelies!

Lets be honest, a huge apology is in order. I have been absent for far too long. I know the typical excuse of 'life's been crazy' just won't cut it right now. Life has gotten way past crazy and here's why... 

Devon - An amazing week in beautiful scenery. Getting to spend everyday doing what I love with the best course mates going! It's impossible to be bored around these guys and they really did make the experience 100 times more brilliant. 

Netherlands - Anyone who knows me well, can back me up on the fact that working in a zoo one day is such a dream. So a trip to Holland, with 4 zoos in 3 days couldn't have been more perfect for me!

Then it was back home for a week with my lovely family and catching up with the best friend! Spending time with Soph always fetches me back to my senses, she gets me more than anyone! 

And finally we come full circle, back to uni! Coming back really got me down, knowing I was back for 2 weeks of assignments and exams. Which explains why I'm so absent at the moment. I'm now in the middle of my final assignments and too much revision ... 

So, I promise I will be back posting full time as soon as possible! Two weeks and I'll be free of this year! Time to power through!
