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! :)

Birthday Fun!!

Last week was my 17th birthday so it was a lil' milestone birthday for me! 17 years old means driving, and driving means freedom and excitement!

Although I do have some photos from my actual birthday, I thought I'd do a post about Friday night when me and 6 of my closest friends went to Nando's for my birthday meal :)

I had a really fan-tabby-dozee evening with some of my favourite people in the world which made me veeeery happy. I love being surrounded by people I love, and who care about me too, as it makes me feel all warm inside aha!

So we all made ourselves look nice, put on some pretty clothes and went for a good ol' Nando's! Here are some pictures of the evening, although I didn't personally take any as I sometimes feel a bit "intrusive" with my big old Canon camera and my phone camera is rubbish! So these pics are all courtesy of one of my lovely friends :)

Aww, our group photo! (that's me on the right with the blonde hair for future reference!)

love love this one of me with my two best friends <3

but do I prefer this?? ....I can't decide!

hehe, yeah :P

pre-Nando's excitement with a drink in KFC! :')

So I hope you enjoyed this little lifestyle post about my birthday (kinda) party and seeing me in my natural habitat... the REAL SOLID WORLD OUTSIDE THE INTERNET ;)

Mwuah :*

Oh, YouTube again?!

So I decided after gaining a few views, subscribers, likes and comments on my first video, I would try to continue and make another video! If you didn't see my first video it was a '15 Facts About Me':

This time, I decided to do a video called 'Things That Annoy Me'! I had a few ideas whirling round my head but decided on this one in the end! You can watch it here now and please feel free to like, comment and subscribe and I would be very grateful! :) I'm still playing around with camera angles, focus, editing etc but hopefully it's good enough to enjoy!

If you enjoy it, please do let me know any future video ideas/requests as I'd like to make videos that I enjoy making, but also that other people will enjoy!

Thank you lovelies :)

Some of my weird and wonderful skills!

A little bit of a random post today but I thought it'd be fun to compile a little list of some of the weird & wonderful skills, talents, and weirdly-impressive-achievements I have!

1. I can solve a Rubik's cube... it's very addictive.
2. I can touch my nose with my tongue and also the bottom of my chin. And do that weird tube thing and that thing where you twist it both ways... I have a strangely talented tongue haha :')
3. I can play the flute and piano (I am no musical prodigy, I just like playing!)
4. I can rap along to about the first 3 minutes of Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang. I'm not quite sure why, and if you've never heard of it here it is:

5. I am very good at the game "leap frog" where you sorta jump over people... ok this sounds much weirder than I intended so I hope you know what I mean!
6. I can ice-skate, mountain-board and rollerblade, but I've lost my skateboarding ability :(
7. I can hold my breath for a really long time.
8. I can speak Spanish... kinda.
9. I'm pretty good at card games >:)
10. I'm an impressive tree-climber... until I get stuck at the top.

And I'm pretty sure there must be some other things I can do that are slightly out-of-the-ordinary, but that's all I can think of for now!

I hope you've enjoyed reading about my weird skills and feel free to comment your own/things that are the same :)

YouTube ~ A New Start?!

Over the years I've discovered and rediscovered YouTube over and over again! I love it and think it's one of the best internet inventions (if not the best) ever! When I was younger, I'd create silly and fun videos with my best friend and upload some every now and again! Some of them even gained some interest and one in particular is currently at something ridiculous like 80,000 views which is insane!

<----- there it is, to be exact!! :O

But over the past year I've got really into "YouTubers" such as Zoella, SprinkleofGlitter, PointlessBlog, MarcusButler etc! I love watching these vlog-style videos and for many months now I've been considering starting up a new channel and uploading vlogs every now and again! 

My first one is now live and I would greatly appreciate it if you'd check it out and give me some feedback :) Obviously it's not perfect and there are definitely some things I would do differently, but it's my first video and I've got to start somewhere!

It's called "15 Facts About Me" and my channel has the same name as this blog, "MissMegsPegs". Here's the video if you'd like to take a peek and if you enjoy it, please hit the like button or even subscribe if you fancy! :)

I hope you enjoy it and thanks for being awesome :)

My Favourite Childhood Films!

Ever since I was very young, I have always loved watching movies! So although I was going to write a post about my all-time favourite movies today, I thought I'd write a little list of my favourite childhood films! 

Firstly, these films are ones that I watched to death when I was younger and were my absolute favourites from a very young age!

1. Matilda

This film was legendary. I must've watched it dozens of times and to this day I love it so much! For those of you that haven't seen it (shock horror), it's all about a girl who discovers she is very "different" and in fact, magic. It's soooo adorable and just an all-round great film. A classic for me :)

2. Jumanji

Some of you may not have heard of this film but I was a liiiittle obsessed with it when I was younger! Robin Williams is the main character and the storyline is basically about a board game which comes to life! We're talking giant insects, zoo animals in the house, crazy villains and so on! Such a funny film and for some reason one of my repeat-watches as a kid! I actually haven't seen this film in years so I must re-watch it asap!

3. Bambi

Oh my gosh, I really don't think this movie needs an introuduction! asdfghjkl. One of my all-time favourite disney movies (I was a traditional kid!) and for anyone who loves disney, but hasn't seen all the classics, I would definitely recommend this heart-felt and pure-quality movie!

4. Mary Poppins

Another classic, another childhood favourite! I used to watch this movie pretty much every time I visited my grandparents' house and I just love it! I still really enjoy watching this movie, not just for sentimental reasons, but because it's just hilarious and sooo disney! Magic, adventure, comedy, singing- what more can you ask for?!

5. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I honestly don't know how popular this film is with people of my generation but I absolutely loved this one! I'm seeing a pattern here of old classics so I guess I was a pretty traditional kid! I couldn't even tell you how many times I must've seen this film, but let's just say I know all the song lyrics still ;) Again, if you haven't seen it, the film is all about a man named Mr Potts who invents an amazing car and the family go on an adventure to a far-off land! It's a really imaginative story and makes you feel all fuzzy and warm inside! :')

6. James and the Giant Peach

I feel like this was one of my most-watched films as a kid and I'm pretty sure a lot of people have never seen/heard of this film adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl book! This. Film. Is. Brilliant. It's actually kinda scary in terms of child films, but really exciting and another one where you have to use your imagination a little bit! The film starts off with real actors but actually develops into a cool animation. It's hard to describe it, but I would say it's a must-see :)

I really hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favourite childhood films! Trust me, there are maaaany more but these were the most prominent ones for me :) Please feel free to comment what your favourite childhood movies were- I'd love to hear whether you agree or have new suggestions!

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!
14. I actually really miss my secondary school :(
15. I can't wait to have a family of my own one day :)

So I hope you now feel like you've got to know me a little bit more! I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel for a long time now so maybe I'll do a video based on this blog post if I can summon the courage!

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!
