THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION OF PLAYLISTS



I love music, just like the majority of us. Whether it's on Spotify or Deezer or YouTube, I'm always listening to it. I love the playlists that some music apps create for you, you know the ones to listen to for different situations or moods?

Well, I've scoured my music library and the rest of the internet to bring you the ultimate collection of playlists...for now anyway! If you want to leave me other suggestions for playlists then feel free to do so because I had so much fun creating these! Enjoy!

A TRIP ABROAD- PARIS AND SALO, LAKE GARDA



For the past two weeks I have been on holiday with my family, probably the last one I'll ever go on with them to be honest. We drove from our home all the way to Paris for a day in DisneyLand (on the day of the bloody EUROS, may I add, thanks mum)..and then continued down to a campsite in Lake Garda, Italy. I have so so many photos I'd love to share with you all, so I thought I'd split the photos into multiple blog posts.

I've never been to Italy before, but I can now say its by far my favourite place ever to go. It's simply breathtaking. Without futher ado, here's some pictures from Paris, DisneyLand, our campsite in Lake Garda and the nearby town, Salo.

AN OPEN LETTER TO ANY GIRL WHO HAS HER HEART BROKEN



I'm sure we all know what it's like to be heartbroken. Whether you're straight, gay, bisexual...this doesn't just apply to girls but to everyone. Here's my message to any of you feeling hurt by someone really special.

NOT ALL THOSE WHO WANDER ARE LOST


I recently read a book that changed the way I think, changed my life if you will. This book was "All The Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven. I stumbled across this book in two ways; one via Zoella and her book club, the other by recommendation of a friend of mine, Shauna, who literally made it her goal to get me to read this book. In the past she has led me to my favourite book of all time; Eleanor and Park.
Anyway, I read this book in just a few hours as myself and my family were travelling down to Italy in the car. I had to grab a pack of tissues and muffle myself because everyone else was asleep, I was a mess.
Basically, I won't spoil it too much, but a character I grew very fond of in the book, Finch, likes to wander. To visit the sights that the world has to offer him. Rather relevantly, i was on my way to italy, visiting it for the first time, and it got me thinking about "wandering"; travelling if you will.
Although Finch is rather lost, not all those who wander are lost.

HONEST REVIEW- URBAN DECAY NAKED SKIN FOUNDATION

 
 


Urban Decay. If you're into makeup and haven't heard of this brand... where have you been?! Urban Decay is the name above the Naked palettes, the All Nighter setting spray and the primer potion.
I was in Debenhams the other day and decided to splash out on the Naked Skin foundation, I've seen loads of YouTubers talk about this and wanted to give it a try.
Along with the foundation, I also bought the mini bottle of the All Nighter setting spray (only £9..how could I resist?!).
Without further ado, lets have a chat about whether this foundation was worth my precious money!

DAY IN LEAMINGTON- A WALK IN THE PARK



I visited a friend for a couple of days and we drove into Leamington for a few hours. I've never been actually into Leamington and was pleasantly surprised by how pretty it is.

WHAT TO TAKE TO UNIVERSITY



Moving away from home and into university is a bit of a whirlwind, plus it involves a LOT of shopping to buy stupid adult things that you need when you live alone.

Forget shopping for your favourite makeup or clothes, the summer just before university should be spent preparing a little more. I remember basically working full time straight after my exams finished in order to save up for uni. It was worth it though, I had more than enough when I moved in.

The only part that's difficult is knowing what to take. Its so easy to forget things because we literally see them every day at home. So, without further ado, here is my quick and easy guide on what to take to university.

RELATIONSHIP LABELS



Relationships seem to have become more and more complicated since I was younger, and I'm only nineteen now. In primary school, you were either going out or you weren't. The sort of relationships when you would freak out if you held hands... adorable. I remember crushing so hard on a boy and then just going from that to being in a relationship, it was simple..no drama. Cheating didn't really exist back then. I vaguely remember the term "two-timing", but that's about it. Young hearts healed fast, we moved on. We didn't have the influence of social media, or the cheating culture that seems to have developed now.

Where the hell did everything go wrong?
