*NEW VLOG*

The one where I spend Good Friday with my best friends being owned at bowling and being scared shitless by ridiculous arcade games. Days like this are the absolute best, I love planning them, looking forward to them, enjoying them and then reliving them though these videos. I love being able to look back on some of my favourite memories with my favourite people, so I embrace the imperfections, that come with making sure I'm 100% enjoying myself at the same time and upload the memories to my channel.

Oh hey blog, it feels like it has been FOREVER. 
I've been in a right blogging funk recently and it's been well, for want of a better word, rubbish. 

I think it's to do with the stage of my life I'm in right now. I'm post uni, looking for jobs - which Im finding is affecting so many aspects of my life. It can make me feel down and unmotivated, it leaves me with very little money and it can be tough on the self esteem too. So I think in general, I've struggled to blog because I feel like I've got nothing interesting to say. But I miss my little space on the internet and obviously, I know it's just a momentary blip and things will return to normal at some point.

BUT... Yesterday was a happy one. 

I woke up at my best friends house after a day and night of eating, chatting, chilling and laughing (We ate delish food whilst watching the Brits. BEST Wednesday)
Then, I headed over to a Yoga class at Sweaty Betty. It was the first proper Yoga class I'd ever done and I really enjoyed it - despite the serious muscle burn throughout and the pain I'm in today. It was really nice to focus on nothing but that for an hour. 
I then had my last CBT session. It's not something I have spoken about on my blog, but at the end of 2016 I decided I had had enough of the constant feeling of worry and self doubt and decided to talk to someone about it. It's been a really helpful journey for me and it's something I'd recommend to anyone who feels like I did. I'll talk about it in a lot more depth another time, but it was my last session and I walked away feeling confident I now have the tools to manage moments of worry, overthinking and doubt when they pop up again. 
Storm Doris had knocked down a few trees on route so I had to take a fair few detours to get back to mine.
I returned home to an email saying I'd got an internship! I won't go into where or with who just yet but I really wanted it. I'd been checking my emails like a mad woman for the last two days. It's completely the kind of thing I want to go into and the company is so cool. 

Things seem like they are looking up! 

So, that's an update from me, I'm hoping to get back on top of things on here from now on. I have however been on it with the videos and the WEEKLY VLOGS are BACK! You can see the most recent two below. (There's a Mexican Night vlog coming soon too!)

As December comes to and end and we're about to wave goodbye to 2016, I thought I'd round up all my Vlogmas videos in one place for you. 

I have absolutely loved this month. I love Christmas and I wanted to thoroughly make the most of it seeing as next year I'll be working and won't have as much time to get festive! I will love looking back over these vlogs, especially Vlogmas Day 10 - the BEST day with my best friends. We hug and laugh at lot, it's mega cute.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a fabulous New Year!

Fourth month of the year... Say whaaaaat?! 
I can't quite believe it's April, but it's welcomed with open arms. Bye bye Winter, Hello Spring! 

It's been a good month. One final exam is now over and done with, (lets not talk about the 20,000 words I've still got to write and the round two of that exam please...). I attended a lovely blog event with some babin' Brighton Bloggers. I had the best Easter Weekend with friends and family and just spent two fantastic days in London with some of my favourite people. 

You can catch all these moments in this months Weekly Vlogs below! 





What did you get up to in March? 

xxxx


Here's a little round up of January's Weekly vlogs. This was my first solid month vlogging and if I'm honest, I found it difficult, but I absolutely loved it. It's so lovely to look back on moments with my friends, boyfriend and family - even moments where I'm sat at my desk having a chat, maybe a little a moan or filling you in on my plans for the day. I feel as a lifestyle blogger, my weekly vlogs sit alongside my channel perfectly. 

Diary displaying 'January' front page & Cup of tea
As far as January's go, this one wasn't too bad! I'd say it's gone pretty smoothly for the start of a new year, but I'm glad it's February and I'm ready to take on this month. With a wrist operation smack bang in the middle of it and university deadlines looming at the start of March it could be a hectic one with many highs and lows, but I'll be taking you along for the ride!

Also Uploaded This Month :: 






Things to note for February :: 

- Don't be scared of blogger events. 
- Get quicker at blow drying your hair. 
- Try to go for more than one 'run'
- Film more friendly faces
- Start to save up for that Canon G7X... swapping lenses when vlogging is not ideal!
- Find some more music, the struggle is very, very real with this one. 


- It's nearly home time! I love living in Brighton, but I really can not wait to get home for christmas in all honesty. It's very hard to be festive when you're scraping the walls of your student bank account and not really surrounded by 'christmas'. I want to have fun games evenings with my family, I want to curl up by a roaring fire, I want to go for drinks in cosy pubs, I want to have all the festive fun with all my family and friends. It's also quite hard to blog about christmas here, no sparkly decorations, twinkling fairy lights or beautiful green christmas trees to take photos of! I have lots of blog posts and videos planned, that can all take place when I have the right setting and utensils at home. 4 days to go!

- New Mustard Yellow Beanie from H&M. A bargain at £3 in the sale, I haven't taken it off since I bought it. Bad hair day? No biggie.

- Charlotte Tilbury's The Vintage Vamp eyeshadow palette. Oh my. There are no words.

- Vlogmas. I really enjoy thinking of new shots, new ideas and being a little more creative with my vlogs now I'm using my Olympus Pen E-PL7. It can be a little time consuming, but it's very rewarding in the long run. You can see Vlogmas Week One here!
