Dear February, where on earth did you go?
This month was a strange one. I had my wrist operation smack bang in the middle of the month and it wrote off more of my time that I thought it would. For some reason I assumed I'd be at home for a couple of days then back to normal life by the sea. Nuh-uh. I was bandaged up, in a sling, unable to move my wrist or in pain for a good week and half and still (and won't for months) have my full range of motion. I'm not sure what I expected as it was an full on operation under general aesthetic, but I guess I didn't want to be that person who made a mountain out of a molehill so talked it down until it happened. But it's nearly March now and it's getting better day by day! Due to this, and the fact I'm in the third year of my degree and losing the will to live... I've felt pretty stressed with the university work, blog/YouTube balance and the not-so distant call of the future, of course.
However, February has had some very fun times!
- Celebrating the lovely bride-to-be, Maz, on her hen do and catching up with lots of friends.
- Seeing Jason Derulo for free and discovering my new bae.
- Pancake day with all the uni lot and for once, getting the pancakes pretty spot on (if I do say so myself!)
- Spending a delightful valentines Day date with my love.
- Receiving so many lovely, caring messages after my operation from friends and family.
- Signing my first contract to work with a brand. Exciting stuff. Mini milestones reached!
- Spending some time with the family whilst I was recovering.
-All topped off with a weekend of incredible food cooked by Henry's mum, lots of wine and bubbles, amazing company and talks late into the night. Then, Sunday morning hungover dog walks (which are difficult to bring yourself to do, but secretly fun because you know you're all struggling a little bit inside...) before the reward of hot cups of tea, flakey pastries, smokey bacon and runny eggs. Perfect!
You can see all of these moments in my Weekly Vlogs below. I can't believe I've done another whole month! Also uploaded this month:

2013, You have been a year full of ups and downs... (I'm pleased to say mostly ups!)
finished school
I'd been at my school for 15 years, so this one was emotional but definitely came at the right time. I was ready to move on to bigger and better things.
got three B's a-levels
I predicted myself these grades so I was more than pleased when I got them! When I found out it was 3am, I was in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere in Three Rivers, California. I risked being eaten by a bear, by going out on the balcony to get signal to call my mum in excitement!
had two incredible and unforgettable holidays
I went on my first 'big girl' holiday with my best friend, Charlie! 4.30am and we were ready to jet off to Ibiza with no parents for a week of sunbathing, partying and a lot of laughs. It was a week I will never forget with my best friend who I will always be there for, no matter how far away from each other we are! My second holiday was a month long road trip around the West Coast of America. I'm going to do a throwback blog post on this holiday as it was amazing and I'd love to have an account of it on my blog. Highlights for me were the Grand Canyon and LA!
started my blog
Whilst in america, I decided I wanted to start a blog. I would watch Zoella, Tanya Burr, Sprinkle Of Glitter, Pointless Blog and Tyler Oakley if I had some spare time at a hotel and if the weather wasn't great (monsoon season...) which inspired me to start vlogging, but I knew I wanted to blog first! So on the 12th August 2013, I said hello to my blog, Love On The Wall!
met my wonderful boyfriend
I had actually met him once before, but moving to Brighton and going to BIMM bought Henry into my life and I couldn't be happier. I love having him by my side to I can't wait to start the new year with him.
moved out and started university
A big, scary and daunting thing to do, but I'm on an amazing course, with amazing people in an amazing place. It is a new chapter in my life and it's going very well so far. It has really made me realise who my real friends are and I've definitely grown up a lot already. I do miss my family but I am loving life in Brighton and I'm actually surviving looking after myself!
I'm really looking forward to another exciting year, bring on 2014!
What were your 2013 highlights?
