My Life in Letters (currently!)

4/1/2016

Hi everyone!

I was hunting through the depths of YouTube again and found an extremely old trend where you talking about your life but only through the letters of the alphabet. I've put in brackets 'currently' because I know that these answers won't always be the same in the future what my answers would be!

A - apples! What a weird way to start this off...Anyways, I used to hate apples because I thought that they would make me sick (long story) but now I can't go a day without a Granny Smith in the morning!
B - bed. I LIVE for naps and bed time. My bed is incredibly comfy and cosy and I never want to leave it! It's a love - love relationship.
C - cat. My cat of 10 years, Domino. A grumpy bugger but once you feed him, he'll warm up to you.
D - dog. Dillon! Probably the most famous member of our family currently!
E - eggs. Such a random one again and its food related? Scrambled eggs is the star of any fry up!
F - family. Whether its my small and close part or the extended family, I love them all to pieces.
Picture
G - Groove. One of my favourite songs to get me in the mood for partying (I'll link it here!)
H - Hercules! Hands down, the greatest Disney movie of all time - I will watch that ANY day.
I - Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator was the first programme at college that I learnt to use to my advantage and I'm always proud of the work I can produce on there!
J - Jelly! I absolutely LOVE jelly, always been a childhood favourite and I could live off of it if I had to. (I might as well make this food in letters since I eat so much!)
K - Kimmy Schmidt. Probably one of the BEST shows on Netflix. I urge you to watch it as it is highly hilarious and I've watched it about 6 times now...
L - life. Got a bit deep there right? But currently I am loving my life right now and I couldn't be happier!
M - Morecambe & Wise! Did you think I was going to leave them out of this? My all time favourite comedians and I am not ashamed at all!
N - Nina Nesbitt. New album is dropping this year and I couldn't be any more excited (anyone want to see her live with me?!)
O - Olly Murs. My all time celebrity crush. Ever since He popped on X Factor's stage in 2009 I have been in love with him since! 
P - P!nk. (This has turned into artists now?!) But seriously, P!nk's music has had a major impact in my life since I was younger and Get The Party Started came out. I will love whatever she produces and she is a bloody awesome woman!
Q - Queen (& The Royal Family) I am very patriotic and proud of my country. I love anything to do with the royals, starting with the Queen who is an absolute cutie!
R - Rules. By Nat & Alex Wolff. If anyone sang this song to me with meaning I would either fall in love with them or crawl up and cry.
S - shopping! Online more specifically. It's become a bad habit of mine to just have a quick look online and end up spending £50 on two jumpers. Damn you Boohoo and your free delivery and student discount!
T - Tubby Tustard! My cringe nickname from my family, but I will always respond no matter how old I am.
U - umbrella.. I've creativity at this point, but a small polka dot umbrella will always be in my day bag!
V - Veronica. My bike! She's a beauty and I'm so fortunate to have a bike, I will conquer the hill I live on!
W - walking. As I still am unable to drive, this is my mode of transport EVERYWHERE. I think thats the only form of exercise I do!
X - ugh X-Ray. I couldn't think of anything else at this time...I've had one X-Ray when I nearly broke my wrist about 5 years ago now?! Crazy.
Y - YouTube. If I didn't find YouTube I don't know where on earth I would be! It opened the world of blogging to me hence why this little site was born!
Z - Zzzz. This took me far too long to write! However its been fun to do and try and think up of things to add up to my life!

Thank you for reading and getting to know a little bit more about me and my life! It was a bit of a chilled post to do (the best ones when I can't think of anything creative to write about!)

Festivities re-cap

Hi everyone & Happy New Year!!!!

I hope you all had a fun filled and safe New Years celebration and started 2016 in the best way possible! As they say, a clean slate, a new chapter and all those cliché comments that run around my mind for the whole month of January (as well as the fitness tips and healthy eating regimes which will most likely be plastered over magazines starting today...) 

I thought I would go back to my roots and write a little re cap post of what I did over the two weeks off. This is more like a talking to myself post, where I will hopefully look back in a years time to reminisce - damn you nostalgia!

Pre Christmas

College was slowly coming to a close and as much as I enjoy it - I was extremely looking forward to having a nice long break away from everything! The relief I had after leaving the college grounds at 11:30 on a Friday having NO work to do over the break (THAT'S a first) was probably the best feeling ever...Christmas was finally coming!

To get into the mood a bit more, we decided to put up our Christmas tree. Fairly late to put it up, but I'm not a huge fan of having things lay around for too long, especially past their 'sell by date'. This required christmas jumpers, cheesy music and a glass of Bailey's!

Tree was up, drinks were drunk and Christmas had begun! A few days after me and dad went to go see Horrible Histories Christmas Show at the Cambridge Corn Exchange. I was the oldest "child" there, stupidly wore platform heels (don't ask - wanted to try them out before Christmas Day!) and we were stuck with one of those kids who kept kicking the seat and interrupted about 3/4 of the show...Grrr. 

Anyways, we expected the show to go through the different Christmas' over the years, with a few songs here and there in true Horrible Histories fashion. In some sense it did exactly that, but it had more of a storyline behind it to follow and get involved with for the kids! It wasn't what we expected at all, however it was quite enjoyable to watch and had a pantomime feel throughout the whole show! It would probably be a lot more fun if I were younger however!

Christmas Day!

And just like that, Christmas was here! One minute I was watching Love Actually on Christmas Eve and the next I was waking the house up to call them all down for presents! I'm not going to go into what I got because I absolutely HATE those blogs or videos were people tell you what you got. Ugh, not everyone wants to know how much or little you got, its more about spending the day with loved ones - which is exactly what I did!

We went to my cousins house and spent the afternoon there - an tradition which sadly hadn't been done for a while! I sadly didn't get a close up of my makeup this year like last, but I did a dark smokey eye with neutral and warm browns with a flick of eyeliner, fake lashes and a purple lip. My dress was from a pop up shop that opened in my town called Madisons & Co. It was that velvety material with a sort of halter top half - paired with my platform heels, leather jacket and black tights! (Once again I was taller than mum and nearly as tall as my brother!) 

It was a lovely day with my wonderful family, we were well fed with a gorgeous Christmas Dinner (courtesy of my auntie), given enough to drink and even had a highly hilarious family quiz (and the best team won!;))

New Years Eve

After being well and truly stuffed after Christmas, the New Year was right around the corner. My new year plans are never normally organised until last minute and it wasn't until my mum brought tickets to a gig in a local pub to welcome the new year in. I invited one of my friends from NCS down to join us! 

The band playing (The Interval Act) were extremely impressive, since I haven't seen one of their gigs before I was excited to see them perform and I wasn't disappointed! The pub had brought in old friends from school and old family friends too, it was a lovely evening and an unplanned one too!

So, 2015 is out and 2016 is here! I've welcomed this year with a horrible head cold, with about 5 pounds extra baggage around my waist and my bank balance probably not looking too cheery! However, it has been a great way to spend this festive season and I wouldn't want it any other way! I'm sad its over so quickly, but I'm hoping for big things for 2016.

I wish you all a happy new year and lets make 2016 a good one!
