3 THINGS I LOVED THE MOST ABOUT SOLO BACKPACKING
Hello everyone!
I have been away from my blog for a very long time and I have missed it so much. But I have a very good reason... I promise! In June, I left home on the biggest adventure of my life, backpacking in South East Asia for 4 months - with 2 of those months travelling completely solo. It was one of the most challenging, scary and emotional times ever, but overall it was an incredibly positive experience. Today I wanted to share some of the things that I loved the most about this time on my own.

THE 'LOST' YEAR - POST UNI BLUES
Hello everyone,
Today I wanted to write about something which has affected me quite a lot in the last nine months. As some of you may know, I graduated from university in 2018 and have now been out of full-time education since last June, but I still don't feel like it has fully sunk in that that part of my life is over.

4 DAYS IN LISBON
Hello everyone!
I am so excited that I am finally getting round to writing my travel post about Lisbon. To say I fell in love with this city would be an understatement. I was completely blown away by so many parts of it and I had such a wonderful time. It is the first place that I have ever travelled alone, and I couldn't have wished for it to go any better. I'll be writing a separate post about my experience of travelling solo, but today I wanted to tell you guys all about my favourite parts of this city.

3 THINGS TO REMEMBER ON #INTERNTIONALWOMENSDAY
Hello everyone,
Happy International Women's Day 2019! I am absolutely in love with today, and particularly with how positive and uplifting my social feeds are. Every story, post and picture are filled with positive quotes and women unapologetically loving, respecting and praising each other. It's purely magical.
HOW I BOOK CHEAP EUROPEAN CITY BREAKS
Hello Everyone!
It feels like everyone and their mother has the new years resolution to travel more, which I am all for. I think that travelling and experiences new places, people, food and cultures are not only one of the most fun ways to spend your free time, but really helps you grow as a person and realise that there is so much going on in the world outside the bubble of your own life. I have been at university for the past 3 years, so money has been more tight that it would have been if I had been working full time, but my love for going to new places was still very much at the forefront of my mind.
So whilst I was at university, I focussed on exploring European cities on a budget. I have managed to go all over the place in the past few years spending less than £250 for flight and hotel each time and less than £200 whilst I'm out there. I realised that a lot of people might not realise how easy it is to go on holiday and travel on the cheap, so today's blog post are some of my tips for getting that bargain holibobs booked and kick start achieving your travel goals for 2019!
4 DAYS IN DUBLIN
Hello Everyone,
I'm back today with another travel post from a recent city break I have gone on. This time, it's Dublin. For a couple of years now, I have been desperate to go to Dublin and so I decided for my 22nd birthday which was in November, I would round up my family and fly over to celebrate my birthday Irish style.

2019 TRAVEL GOALS
Hi everyone,
It's the beginning of a new year and this is set to be a big one for me. As some of you may know, I finished university midway through 2018, and since then I have been working hard and saving up to go travelling. This has been my dream for several years now and I am so excited that it is finally happening.
Today I thought I would write about the travel plans I have for 2019 and maybe inspire you to help with your 2019 travel goals.

3 DAYS IN EDINBURGH
Hi everyone!
For the last few days of 2018, my boyfriend and I hopped over to Edinburgh for a little city break. It was the perfect place to go at this time of year and so I thought I would write a blog post to share all of the best bits with you.... hope that you enjoy.

18 THINGS I LEARNED IN 2018
Hi Everyone,
As you are aware, it is the end of 2018 and the first day of 2019! I have been off work for the last week for Christmas and it has been so relaxing. I feel like it has given me a chance to slow down and to reflect on the past year. Its been a pretty great one, with lots and lots of highs with a wonderfully small amount of lows, (which I realise I am so lucky to be able to say). I thought that to finish off the year, I would write a blog post about 18 things I've learnt in 2018.

WHAT AM I PROUD OF SO FAR IN 2018?
Hello Everyone!
I don't know what it is about September, but I always feel like it's a time for me to get my arse into gear and start doing all of the things that I've been meaning to do or just generally start afresh with certain parts of my life. This is probably because no matter how hard I try, I can't stop living by the academic calendar!
LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS
Hello everyone,
Today I thought I would write quite a different post today on a topic that is very close to my heart. Some of you may know that I have been with my boyfriend for quite a while now... in fact, it's going to be 5 years in August. WOW! Even that scares me... I'm only 21 as well! It's mad but both Tom and I are as happy as ever in our relationship.

A WEEKEND IN RIGA, LATVIA
Hello everyone!
I hope you're doing well and enjoying the weather starting to get a bit nicer... I'm absolutely loving it and it's making me feel so happy, and getting me so excited for summer and holibobs coming up. Last month though, my boyfriend Tom and I needed a bit of a break from the stress of uni work, so we hopped on a plane and took a short break in Riga, Latvia. A lot of people seemed to not know much about the city when I told them where I was going and to be honest, neither did I... but one of my Facebook friends from university is originally from the city and it looked so beautiful from her pictures I thought I would check it out and I'm pleased to say we were so pleasantly surprised.So carry on reading for a travel diary of Riga, Latvia!
WHATS ON MY FACE, CURRENT MAKEUP ROUTINE
Hello everyone!
I came to the realisation the other day that I am really enjoying my makeup routine at the moment, from the products I'm using to how it looks on my face. I'm going for a bit of rose gold/glowy theme at the moment, and I'm really liking how it's turning out. It's definitely one that suits the spring that is trying to come through and I am all for that!
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY: THE WOMEN I LOVE AND WHY
Hello everyone!
Today was international women's day and I really wanted to celebrate the women who I think have empowered, inspired and made me happy over the years. I think its so important for women to appreciate each other and lift each other up. Through no real reason, most of the closest people in my life are female, and they have really shaped me into who I am today.

I WANT TO LOVE BLOGGING AGAIN
Hello everyone!
Anyone who has been an active reader of my blog at any point may have noticed that the amount I post on here has decreased dramatically. I literally always used to post every week with new photos and new ideas and would prioritise my blog over so many things. The biggest reason for me not being so into it has definitely got to be uni... I'm in my third year now and that obviously has to be my priority, but I have always found my blog to be a great past time and form of escapism, so I really would like to find a way to get back into it.

VEGANUARY: MY EXPERIENCE
Hello everyone!
Today I thought that I would share my experiences with Veganuary that I took part in last month. This is something that about 3 years ago, I would never have thought I would have done, however after coming across a lot of bloggers, vloggers, documentaries and my own research, I have seen that there are lots of benefits to becoming Vegan. I won't delve into them now, but I will leave some resources at the end of the post. In August 2016 I tried being vegetarian for a month and actually really loved it, and whilst I hadn't been strict for the last year and a half, I had dramatically decreased my meat in take. After really over eating at Christmas, January was the perfect time to start Veganuary.

GETTING MY MOJO BACK
Hello Everyone!
I hope that you are all doing well. Today I wanted to write about how I'm going about getting a bit more of a "pep in my step" this year. Unfortuneately, just before Christmas, I found myself feeling very uncomfortable about myself, my looks, my personality and my abilities.I found myself constantly worrying about not looking good enough, not being talented enough or having a bit of a rubbish personality. Those that know me, will know that this is pretty rare for me. Usually, and for such a long period of time before Decemeber 2017, I am pretty confident in myself and who I am as a person. I don't normally let things faze me and just go about life as best I can. Obviously, I had my down days too, but last month was one of the first where I just felt awful, low and lacking in energy for an extended period of time (which was actually awful as Christmas is my most favourite time of year).
HOW TO HAVE A GOOD START TO THE DAY
Hello everyone!
Happy 2018, I know we're already 2 weeks in but better late than never. I haven't really set any new years resolutions this year - just a set of goals that I would like to accomplish by the end of the year (I might write a post on this!) ,However, I am trying to focus on keeping up the good habits that I started in 2017 as I was definitely making good progress by the end of the year. One of these is my morning routine habits that I feel set me up for the day in the best way. I've found these really useful so I thought that I would share them with you today!

A WEEK IN MALAGA
Hello everyone!
So this post is quite long overdue, but I really wanted to share it with you all. At the beginning of September, my boyfriend and I travelled to Malaga in Spain for a relaxing week away. I hadn't really heard of this place before until I watched a vlog by Louise Pentland who went there herself. Automatically I knew that this was the perfect place to pick for my boyfriend and I.
