OCTOBER/AUTUMN FAVOURITES

Hi everyone, I've been really struggling with blogging recently but I'm going to get back into the swing of things now that I'm motivated. Today I'm bringing you my October/autumn beauty favourites... I've bought way too much makeup recently but I've been really impressed and just needed to share!! I just bloody love autumn as well, its my favourite time of the year. Hope you enjoy!

H&M OOTD - KHAKI PLAYSUIT

It's the end of summer and it's that weird weather where sometimes it's completely boiling and the next it's freezing. What is that all about? Do you wear a scarf and jumper, or do you wear shorts and a crop top? The day I did this shoot it was really really warm; perfect playsuit weather.

I really struggle posing for photos and having my photo taken so this was a huge deal in terms of my confidence, but I actually really enjoyed myself and I'm happy with how the shots turned out.

Hope you enjoy!

LETS TALK ABOUT: BROCK TURNER

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the rape case involving Brock Turner in the US, and I feel like rape is not often discussed, nor are the cases. Not to mention the vast amount of judicial bias that surrounds cases when they go to court.

So, grab a cup of tea because this one's going to be lengthy, stick with me.

*TRIGGER WARNING- SEXUAL ASSAULT/RAPE

A LETTER TO MY 16 YEAR OLD SELF

I've realised recently how fast time really goes by....I am going to be 20 next year....TWENTY. A fully fledged adult, kind of. GCSE results was today and I literally cannot believe that it's been 3 YEARS since I left high school.
I can't even believe that I'm already going into my second year at university (still broke as fuck so no different there), but what's weird is looking back at yourself a few years ago, even just last year or a few months ago.
Thinking back to how I was when I was 16 is weird to me. I was so different, had such different outlooks on life and surprisingly a lot of different friends back then, which partly I am very glad about.
I decided to write a letter to my 16 year old self, all the advice I would give younger me...trust me, I needed it.

RESULTS DAY 2016 - IT DOES NOT DEFINE YOU

Results day comes around every year whether we like it or not. It can literally be the best day of the summer or the worst, and what's so shit is that 99% of the time we don't know how it's going to pan out at all.

The saddest thing to see is that so many people don't receive the results they dreamed of, after all that hard work and stress. It's even worse that generation by generation, there is an increasing pressure to do well in education...and that we are taught that our results define us as people.

Congratulations to everyone who either passed their first year of college or got into university, but if you didn't come out with the results you wanted, this blog post is for you.

TIPS FOR FRESHERS WEEK

Hello! This blog post goes out to anyone who is about to become a fresher at university. For those of you that don't know, freshers week to put it quite bluntly is a week for you all to settle in...to go out and get smashed.

I get that some of you may not enjoy stuff like drinking, but it's pretty much a right of passage that most new university students go through. It's a great way to make new friends and create loads of memories. I'd love to say that I remember my freshers week, but sadly I do not. Mistake number one on my part, obviously. 

I like to think that you could all learn from me in some way, or at least listen to my advice, even if you don't actually follow it. So, without further ado here is a list of tips you need to know for freshers week.

A TRIP ABROAD - VERONA AND VENICE

Hey everyone! A while ago I did a photography post about my holiday, and I included some snaps from Paris and Salo. I feel like these photos are even better. During our trip to Italy, we went to Verona and Venice. Both cities were absolutely breathtaking, but by far I loved Venice the most. It's absolutely insane. I just can't seem to believe that there are absolutely no roads or cars!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at some of my photos, let me know what you think!!
