Hi! I'm going to be one of the few to break up all the Christmas posts, it really doesn't feel like Christmas yet to me this year, it might be to do with the (kind of) warm weather, even if we are being battered by wind and rain!  So here's a few more of my Madrid pictures (Link to the last post here showing pictures of Parque De El Retiro), we're...

This year for my birthday I decided on something a little different. My boyfriend's birthday is two weeks before mine so we decided, instead of presents, we would take a trip. We'd initially looked in September and Madrid was our chosen destination. At the end of October we booked our 4 day trip for the 14th November, barely 2 weeks before we travelled.  My...

Today's post will be an unusual one for me, a lot less structured and generally just chatting (to myself with perhaps somebody reading afterwards - hopefully) about what's been going on for me. First things first, I have started my driving lessons! Yes! About time, only about 3/4 years late. So far I have done 8 hours and it's starting to come together,...

By now we've all seen the posts all over the Internet about "Resting Bitch Face" (RBF) and the associated problems, which I am sure there are many. But I am yet to see anyone address the opposite problem, that we could call the "Resting Friendly Face"? RFF for short (could have had resting approachable face but somebody already took RAF) I can almost...

A bit of an unusual one for me but I've been tagged to do this which is super exciting. I was nominated by a the lovely Emily from Twisted-Rust & Pixel to do the Love/Hate Tag!Go see her Love/Hate tag here, spoiler: she saves her best hate until last What is the Love/Hate Tag? Once you have been tagged by another blogger, you must state 10 things...

Many of you will be starting university soon or returning after your summer break. Unfortunately I have finished now and I have to go and be grown up somewhere.  Hilariously accurate We've all seen the blog posts of things you need at university like your pillows, duvet, pots and pans. But this post will show some more unusual essentials...

We all love a nosey inside people's houses and rooms to see what they're like so here's a quick peak into the decorating process of my bedroom. For now only walls and furniture moving has happened. Lots of saving up to do before I start buying the furniture to go with everything.  First thing first was making space to begin decorating. I thought I...

Now about 8 weeks since officially moving back home from uni and I think I'm beginning to settle back into it. This weekend I took a trip back to Sheffield to see a few of my course girls (and of course take advantage of Sheffield's nightlife) which was a lovely treat and I can't wait to do it again! Onto the second part of my adjusting post, hopefully...

Moving back home from uni is a big deal, by anyones standards. Yes there's the actual moving out of your uni place and the outrageous amount of stuff you accumulate over 3 years that you feel like you can't throw away. I don't care what anybody says, I definitely need my Velma jumper and glasses - in case of emergency y'know. But that's not where...

Whilst we're having a much more miserable week than the last I thought now would be a nice time to share a few of my backlogged pictures.  In early June on a rare sunny day in Sheffield, I decided to walk up to Norfolk Park, a very quiet secluded area in the city centre. I was in the middle of reading To Kill a Mockingbird (yes I know, later than everybody...

A very delayed post,  but the 21st May was my university graduate ball. I was pretty nervous about going but finding a pretty dress and pretty shoes made it all a bit easier! Of course my hips look are enormous, I bet you couldn't even guess how much my dress cost me (clue, my shoes cost 6x more than my dress) The photo booth with...

Last week I finished university Yipee!! However the lifestyle I'm living now is a lot less exciting than I thought it might be! I think I might have watched more television in the last week than I had throughout the rest of the year so far, daytime TV is not exciting. One thing I did do was finally visit the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield, which I've been meaning...

Yesterday when it was lovely and sunny, a friend and I took a walk around a few parks in Sheffield, but today's post isn't about pretty parks and the sun unfortunately.  The sun brings out the best and the worst of people, we all know that (well in Britain we do, since the sun rarely makes an appearance). Whilst walking around a lake appreciating the...

Hello! MY DISSERTATION IS FINALLY HANDED IN! I wish I felt more relieved that I do but right now I'm quite nervous that I am unable to change anything. And I'm in that constant state of guilt feeling like I should be doing it at any given moment.  ...

Hello! So, I'm now well into my third year of university as you may know. I always thought the talk about third year workload was all exaggeration and I'd be fine, especially looking at the timetable i picked up for this year: Yes that is a completely accurate university timetable of 4 hours a week. "9 grand a year?!" I hear somewhere in the distance....

Last February I made this blog, I was so excited by the idea and had been meaning to do it for the longest time, I now have over 50 posts, and hope I can make at least 50 more in the next year. To me February is the month of resolutions, any resolution in January is set to fail; No drinking - alcoholic Christmas presents sat around tempting you Eat better...
