Life's suddenly got a little bit crazy. I have just about a month left for all my university deadlines, a practical exam in June, then I'll moving back home and then the rest of my life looms. It's all getting a little too much. I'm beyond stressed and just feeling a little crap about the whole thing! But I know I just have to power on through the next month, then it's nearly all done and I'll be so happy I gave it my all.
I hope you lovely people don't mind, but I'll be taking a break from weekly vlogging for a couple of weeks to focus on my degree and putting my all into my work. There'll still be blog posts and 'sit down' videos, but if things aren't there on the right day, bare with me!
I'm so excited to have more time for my blog again in June. You better be ready!

It's Wednesday, so of course it's time for a new video!
This week I'm hauling all the goodies I've recently picked on from a few shopping trips; some new clothes and some little home-ware bits.
If you enjoyed it please do SUBSCRIBE to my channel for a new video every Wednesday!

This was meant to be filmed as a Youtube Video, along with my university series, but in an error on my behalf of planning to film when I had actually already moved half my stuff into my flat... that wasn't possible. Not to the standard I wanted it to be anyway!
So, here are my top tips for saving space and making your university bedroom your own!
(I do not own this image. Source Unknown... but how unbelievably cool is this?!)
Pin up!
I lived in a flat, not university halls, so I was allowed to put pin boards up. In halls, I wouldn't put anything up on the walls but most of them already have big pin boards up. If not, have one leaning against the wall on you desk or something. It's lovely to have photos, messages, notes and reminders up!
No monsters under the bed? Then get some storage boxes!
These are great to have if you have space under your bed if your bed base isn't solid. Double check before you buy them though, otherwise they take up a lot of room.
Fairy Lights!
Candles aren't allowed in a lot of student residences, so fairy lights are a lovely alternative. Or you have both, if you're like me!
Hooks!
Radiator hooks & Door hooks will come in very handy for every space to dry clothes, or hang jackets!
Wedge that door!
If you're in halls, keep your door open whilst you're setting up and unpacking. People are then able to stop and say hello, knocking on a door can be a little intimidating!
Tidy room, Tidy mind!
I know I'll be able to think a lot more clearly if my room is tidy. Clutter isn't good for me!
Plants & Flowers
They bring life into a room. If you think you can't keep them alive, get some pretty fake ones for a splash of colour!
Most of all, make it a place where you feel at home and happy to be!

It's results day! What better day to put my 'Tips For Starting University' video live?!
Starting Universtiy is a big, big change and can seem rather scary & daunting.
Hopefully these tips might make things seem a little easier.
Give it a THUMBS UP if you found it helpful.

-- 21st August 2013 - 1st September 2013 --
A week and half, I know, but I started on a Wednesday. I will continue as Monday to Sunday after this! This post was inspired by Cider With Rosie. Her blog is beautiful and I can't stop myself once I start reading, Go and have a look for yourself!
1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 - My own photos. 3, 4 - from Tumblr, source unknown. Please let me know if you know. 6 - cardigansandcookies.tumblr.com. 7 - Ellie Goulding 'Burn' Artwork.
1. Coming home from an incredible month long road-trip around America. It was an unforgettable holiday with my family but I was so happy to get home to see my Mumma and big brother again!
2. After 34 days apart, I have finally been reunited with my boyfriend. I've never been so happy to see him!
3. Having to start thinking about autumn/winter clothing. I can't get enough of knitted jumpers, chunky scarves and warm hats so I can't wait to get layering again!
4. I've started buying things and making lists for things I need in my new bedroom in my student house! Now September is here, moving day is getting closer and closer... eek!

5. Having happy, healthy, holiday skin! There's nothing better than having a bit of colour on your face and therefore having to wear less makeup!
6. English Breakfast Tea. I have ALWAYS been a tea girl, but I can't stress how much I appreciate English tea after being in America. Ice Tea in the USA? Amazing. Hot Tea in the USA? Not so much.
7. Burn - Ellie Goulding. It's on repeat, such a great song.
8. Costa's signature smoked ham and free range egg farmhouse sandwich... mmm!
9. My new 'Gold threaded, Chunky Knitted, Zip Back Jumper' From Boohoo.

Always exciting to start the Autumn/Winter wardrobe.
10. Seeing 'This Is Us' One Direction's film... in 3D (just picture it... Harry Styles in 3D... yes it is THAT good!) in Leicester Square with two of my best friends after a great day in London. Also, the fact that I am still listening to 'Best Song Ever' at least five times a day & I still think it is, indeed, the best song ever and shall remain so for a long time.
This weekend I also saw Lucy Blackwell, Live, at Sun Scream Festival at Thorpe park. Nothing better than seeing one of your best friends doing something they absolutely love! A great day with lovely people and lots of ride inflicted eye watering! This day will also be the feature of my first ever vlog, so keep your eyes peeled for that! Check out her Lady In Waiting EP here! What did you get up too this weekend?
