I love a good list. I thought I'd put together a few of the things I'd love to experience or try my hand at. Not goals or new years resolutions just things I'd love to achieve or have a good go at!
1. Learn a new skill.
This year, I'd absolutely love to master the art of calligraphy and finally learn how to play the piano.
2. Print my favourite photos.
I used to always print my photos, but last year it just slipped my mind. I want to get my favourites of 2015 printed and then carry on throughout 2016 too.
3. Go on holiday with friends.
Jetting off into the sunshine or relaxing in the English countryside, either way I'm happy.
4. Explore Brighton more.
I have 6 more months of living in Brighton whilst I'm still a student and there are still so many places I want to try and things I want to do.
5. Explore a new city.
I don't see enough of the beautiful cities in the UK so I want to explore a little more! There are even areas of London that I want to discover more of.

6. Declutter. Everything.
As I'll be moving back into my mums house in July, it'll be the perfect time to have a huge clear out. I'm kind of a hoarder, especially if it has any sentimental value (so basically, every birthday card, ever.) so it'll be good to get rid of a lot of junk, than I most definitely don't need anymore. (bye bye school homework diary from Year 7...)
7. Have a Digital Detox.
Clear out the inbox, junk and drafts. Tidy up your bookmarks. Unfollow those random Twitter accounts that spam your timeline. Unfriend those people that make you feel a little bit shit!
8. Start a class.
Be it Yoga, Art, Spin, Dance... anything! Meet new people, have fun and pick up a new skill.
9. Read more books!
I absolutely love reading a book when I get the chance, but I never pick up a book if I haven't started one on a holiday! I've got a couple ready to go, I just need to put the time aside.
10. Save up & Treat yourself!
Last year I treated myself to my beautiful little Olympus Pen E-PL7 and I felt so good that I'd worked hard for that money and spent it on something so special and worthwhile.

I just wanted to give a mention to a tea that I've been enjoying every evening recently; Taylors of Harrogate's Green Tea with Strawberry & Vanilla. I'm not one for the taste of green tea, I wish I was due to all the wonderful health benefits it has, but I always opt for something a little more exciting. I spotted this tea on offer in Waitrose and as it had Strawberries and vanilla in, I knew it could possibly be slightly more up my street and it most certainly is. I won't lie to you, like most herbal teas it smells amazing and unfortunately doesn't taste the way it smells, but that by no means it tastes bad at all - it has a subtle sweetness to it & I add just half a teaspoon of sugar to bring out the flavours a little more. It's been my perfect drink for winding down just before bed, with the fairy lights on and a candle flickering away in the background.
I'm back by the seaside again! Back with my beautiful view of the sea and back to the daily trudge of going to uni and having to prioritise essays over blogging. I'm sorry I've neglected my little corner of the internet for a week or two. I've been uploading videos consistently, with now two a week popping up on my channel. I'm aware that in my last year of university, upping my upload schedule to two videos a week was probably not the best idea, but I want to have all the memories of my last year for us all to look back on, so I'll keep up with it as much as I can.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with how much I have on my plate right now, to be honest, but my blog is one thing I don't want to let slip. I know the thing I should do is become more organised and more importantly STOP PROCRASTINATING. I have my blog, my youtube channel, an acoustic wedding duo, a few wedding photography & videography jobs, a wrist operation in a months time, the third year of my degree and then general life and having fun too. Oh, and the small task of looking for internships and jobs so I can start real adult life in June. Eeeek.
I don't want to let my blog and channel fall behind though, this is my outlet for everything and I'm so happy when my content is creative and up to date. My time off is spent taking photographs and writing about an exciting weekend, new pair of boots or a snazzy new outfit and I enjoy that. I have lots of ideas, some more achievable than others, some I'll need to rope the Mr in for and some that are actually related to my dissertation (more on that at another time!)
What I am trying to say is, I'm still here and I'm most certainly not going anywhere but if I disappear for a week or two it's because I'm drowning in notepaper, with an achey post-op wrist, no singing voice and probably shedding some tears!

I felt I needed a few new items to the wardrobe so I got a little spendy in Primark & Miss Selfridge and popped into Boots to pick up my bathroom cupboard essentials!
Hope you like it! xxxx
