A Hearty Hello To You (Remember me?!)


Well good afternoon (or morning, wherever you may be) and a hearty hello to you. If you're still following me on bloglovin' or another network then thank you for bearing with me. Yes, another one of those 'hello, I've not blogged in X months, soz' posts. Any one who says second year of uni is easy is a big liar liar pants on fire and really needs to shush (and put out the fire in their pants).

All photo's are from my instagram which you can find HERE.

-Top Row-

Random surprise of a dozen red roses and dinner | This one makes the stress of life a lot more bearable | Thai Green Curry! Getting back into cooking and loving every delicious second of it 

-Middle Row-

I finally invested in an Oh-So-Grown-Up Black coat - feeling v.sophisticated | Halloween ft. liquid latex cuts and chiseled collar bones | A quick weekend away to a very chilly Wales coastline 

-Bottom Row-

Treats in the form of chicken and cocktails, what more could you want | Made a kitty friend who I tried to pay in chicken to do my assignments, instead she just napped and distracted me | I spend a good majority of my week in this position, and I couldn't be more content

Of course this seems like all I've done is eat good food, go on holiday and do fancy makeup but in reality, these are just the highlights and 98% of my time has been spent behind this laptop and with my head in journal articles. Who said uni wasn't fun? I've have missed blogging incredibly and I have so many ideas whizzing around my brain only to be written in my notebook and never to flourish into something I hope to be wonderful. I've realised that I need to factor in a little 'me' time and hopefully that will materialise into more blog posts. 

That's all for now, but keep your eyes peeled!

weekly roundup #2

loving the nude polishes / before i realised i had food poisining but after some alcohol / pretty flowers my mum received for valentine's day / bakery treat - subsiding my craving for carrot cake / essay work is mind numbing / would be wrong to pass up offers on stationary
I've had the privilege of having a reading week off uni this week so my plan was to spend a week doing essays and drinking copious amounts of tea... not exactly how the week went. 

It started off well and I got work done until Tuesday night when I gave myself food poisoning and didn't realise until I got drunk and was in the middle of a club, fair to say it didn't end well and was followed swiftly by a phone call for my mum to come and save me from my death bed. I'm far too lucky to live only 30 minutes from home. It's now Sunday and of course my wonderful mum convinced me to stay home until tomorrow morning to then whiz back to uni for a lecture at 1. 

I also got new glasses this week which I absolutely love! I'm not supposed to wear my contact lenses for more than 10 hours a day or everyday in a week -which I do because I didn't like my glasses and felt they didn't suit my face and we outdated since I'd had them since 2010 so I was treated to some lovely Ralph Lauren glasses which I'm sure will pop up in this blog for you to have a look at. 

I had planned to take my Canon on a walk in the countryside near my house this weekend but that turned into food/knick knack shopping with mum and this week we celebrated the retirement of the vicar at my parish church here at home. I've been attending since I was born and have grown up with my vicar guiding me and my family through good times and bad and I'm so sad to see him leave. But now he and his wife can enjoy their new house in the country with their little puppy and I'm sure they'll enjoy it immensely whilst missing us mad lot. My church is such a warming and friendly place, not what you'd typically imagine a church to be like and I definitely wouldn't be the person I am today without my faith and all the friends I have made there and I miss going every Sunday morning and enjoying their company. Anyway, I won't go on!

It's been a good week, not as planned but sometimes it's better that way and now I'm less stressed (and sick) and ready to get back into lectures, blasting out these essays and hopefully improving my diet (no more dunking biscuits in tea!) 
Wish me luck.

Instagram Haul

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my absence, I'm not going to make excuses! Yes, I've been busy but I've had so many blog post ideas that I should have brought to life so I'm very sorry!

So here's a few instagram photos of what I've been up to the past few weeks:



Regular posts soon, once I've settled in my new flat at university - probably after freshers! Sorry guys! xx

Update #1


Hello to anyone who may have done or would like to read my blog!

I'm sorry that I haven't been updating at all for months, but for anyone who does A-levels, they will know how demanding they are, hence why I haven't had any time to write at all. The 6 exams in June don't help either. :(

But, there is hope for this blog and I really do not want to neglect it altogether. I go to university in September and after I have finished my 6 summer exams (Roll on my last 2 exams on 17th June!!), I have around 3 months of free time... Hello Blogging!

I have some good ideas, and I am forever buying new products and wishing I had the time to review them! So there is a lot yet to come.

Until then, keep up with me on my social media sites:

See you soon!
