If ‘Personal Development’ is a blogging niche, sign me up

I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Ok, that’s a lie – I’m a lot of a perfectionist. This has always been my downfall, and probably will be for the rest of my life. When I started working on my blog a year ago I spent a lot of time reading through the experiences of other bloggers. So many bloggers that I look up to have written lengthy posts on their own journeys and experiences bringing their blogs…

A Month without Shopping for Clothes: What I Learnt

I’ll admit, I am a bit of a shopaholic at times. I shop when I’m happy. I shop when I’m sad. I shop when I’m stressed out. You name the emotion; I’ll probably shop during it. I’m in no way out of control, I’m just the kind of person that always likes to mix things up in her wardrobe and always likes to have a ‘new’ piece of clothing when she goes out or goes to some sort of event. However, one of…

February Goals – 5 Things to Achieve

2018 is really about personal development for me. I guess that’s what my “blog niche” is turning into – a personal development blog if that’s even a thing.  I keep banging on about it, but I truly want to make this year my year. I want to be my best, I want to achieve as much as possible and I want to do it all while feeling like I’ve done everything I can to get there. I don’t want to look back…

The first month of the year is always the hardest. It’s dark almost all the time, money is tight following Christmas splurges, and you’ve watched about every programme Netflix has to offer already and it’s not even halfway through the month. By the time February rolls around, it feels like a breath of fresh air – and I certainly agree with that this year. Although January has been insanely busy…

January can sometimes feel like such a long month. The post-Christmas blues have well and truly sunk in, it’s cold and gloomy, you’re fed up of seeing sales in shops and your bank account is suffering from being paid earlier than expected because of the Christmas bank holidays. There’s not enough daylight to motivate you to spend time outside, and if you did you’d probably get frostbite in the…

Growing Up Through Music – Paramore at The O2

Music has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I can remember music has always been there – through the ups and the downs, through the good times and the bad. Music has been there to reassure me that everything is going to be ok, and it has been there to remind me to celebrate being young and alive on more occasions than one. I don’t think I realised just how much I loved music until I…

Before the beginning of the new year, I shared a post talking about my 18 goals for 2018. One of the goals discussed in this blog post is one of the most important on the list – to become more confident in myself and my writing ability. I want to grow out of my comfort zone in the next 12 months.  The last 12 months haven’t exactly been all negative for me, but they have been hard. My Grandad,…

So, 2017 has been a year. And it’s been a damn long one. Does anyone else feel like this last twelve months have been a whirlwind of chaos and destruction? As David Mitchell said on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year – personally adequate and internationally disastrous. It’s like the rapture happened and all the celebrities who died last year were the only people who made the cut. I say this at the end…

I can’t really believe this is my final instalment of my blogs about my Florida trip. It seems to have taken me a long time to get my thoughts down on paper, but honestly, it has been so much fun relaying my memories on paper. I feel like even though I’ve not covered everything in these posts (because I could write a book on that) I now have an actual physical memoir of my trip that I can look…

As I’ve said in my post about Universal Studios, I’m a massive film nerd. I love anything that’s even remotely close to a ‘behind the scenes’ look at how a film is made or anything that makes me feel like I’ve taken the role of director or producer. Naturally, Hollywood Studios seems like it would be the perfect fit for this. Unfortunately, this park is absolutely nothing like it used to be and…

As the title of this post may suggest to you I had the absolute joy of spending my 24th birthday in Islands of Adventure. Why did I pick this particular park for my birthday celebrations you may ask? Two words: Marvel and Harry Potter. Yes, your girl here wanted the most geek filled extravaganza she could possibly have to celebrate the fact that she was about to turn to possibly the most boring…

Many of you may be wondering why I didn’t start my blog series on Disney with the main park – Magic Kingdom – because that is the one everyone wants to hear about and especially because this was the first park that I visited during my time in Florida. It’s pretty simple – I just couldn’t write about it. I know it sounds crazy because after all this is the Disney park and is by far the first park…
