Where have I been... and what am I doing now?!

Well hello there strangers! I seem to have completely failed at blogging in the last month or so and my excuse is LIFE. Exams, end of the college year, work, busy weekends, learning to drive... the list is endless!

But now... *drum roll pleeeeease* 

IT'S SUMMER! 

Oh how good it feels to be able to say that :') And now I have much more time on my hands I intend to do more than sunbathing and sleeping and try to post a lot more!

I'm thinking about steering towards the beauty/fashion route as I have some ideas that I think you'll enjoy! How about beauty/clothing hauls? Or my current favourites? Or even a nail polish collection?!

Hopefully some of these ideas excite you a liiiittle bit so stay tuned if you're interested lovelies! :)

Look who's turning 17!

Tomorrow I turn 17 and I'm quite excited! Although it's a kinda rubbishy week to have a birthday (first AS exam is on friday!), I have my first ever driving lesson and I just love birthdays! :)

The thought of me driving a car amuses my friends quite a bit and to be honest, it actually scares me a bit! If you could see how I am in my day-to-day life, I am constantly bumping into things and getting over-excited so I can just picture me being a clumsy mess on the road! haha :')

But saying that, I also have a small niggly feeling that maybe I will actually be okay! I did a Mercedes driving experience a couple of years ago which allowed me to drive an automatic car around an obstacle-track-thingy and I wasn't too bad at all! Anyway, fingers crossed all goes well!

It's also a chance for me to see my family and just do something special and out-of-the-ordinary routine!  Two of my best friends have been plotting and scheming so I'm pretty excited to see what surprise they have, the cuties :3

So this was a little lifestyle post to let y'all know that tomorrow is ma birthdaaaay and I'm rather looking forward to it!

Much love :*

Off to see the Wizard!

So later this afternoon I'm going to see 'Oz' with 2 of my best friends and I'm rather excited! I fell in love with the Wizard of Oz at a young age, performed in the end of primary school production of it and have gone on to see 'Wicked' in the West End twice! If you haven't already seen Wicked, I definitely recommend going- even if you're in the cheapy seats, it doesn't matter as you'll still be blown away by the set design, the songs and the atmosphere! Oh I do love a good musical.

So fingers and toes crossed that Oz lives up to my expectations! Ooh, and I'm seeing it in 3D so EXTRA excitement :) If all goes well, maybe I'll do a little review of the film in the next few days!

Bye for now :)

15 Facts About Me!

So I thought a good way for you all to get to know me would be to post a quick 15 facts about me! So let's begin!

1. I am about 5ft 7" which makes me fairly tall- especially with a best friend who's only about 5ft 2"!
2. I love photography, but don't know whether I want to pursue it yet.
3. I have lots of siblings- 3 step-brothers, a step-sister, a brother and a sister!
4. I love Harry Potter.
5. I'm very scared of the dark and tend to jump into bed at night!
6. I can solve a Rubik's cube :)
7. I love reading and am always open to new suggestions!
8. I share a room with my 10 year old sister- as you can imagine, this can be a nightmare!
9. I have a cat called Lola, who looks cute but is secretly evil- I call her Lucifer.
10. I haaaate baked beans so much.
11. I've never tried a kebab or a big mac…
12. I've never been to a funeral.
13. I love shopping but HATE spending money!

Hello world!

Start of a new blog, start of a new beginning! If you're reading this and wondering what I'm gonna be writing about in the future, I think I'd say to expect anything. Maybe I'll just chat away like this, or even write some fashion/beauty posts... maybe I'll post some of my photography, or write a book or film review!

I really would like to enjoy this blog and just be myself :) So whether it's about any of the things I just mentioned, I do hope you (the kind and very patient person who's reading this right now), will enjoy it and stick with me whilst I go through this thing called life!
