REFLECTING ON 2016 & NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.

Saturday 31 December 2016

I love twitter polls, they're great for deciding what ice-cream you should buy at Tesco or what hot drink to order at Costa. Sometimes, I just like being nosey as to what peoples opinions are on things, including how their 2016 went. It didn't shock me that 66% of people said 2016 has not been good to them, and with everything that's being going on in the world lately it's not surprising to see why. However, it's unlikely that most of us have have been miserable for 365 days, which is why it's important to also reflect on the positive things that have happened in our personal lives. Hence the point of this blog post. 

BEST AND WORST MOVIES OF 2016.

Tuesday 27 December 2016

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted something on the blog and with the new year approaching, it means I now have a lot of content in terms of 2016/2017 lists. As I've mentioned before, having an Odeon Limitless card means Lauren and myself spent the most part of 2016 in the cinema drinking free tango ice blasts from our friend with the galaxy sleeve tattoo. Here is a brief list of what I personally thought were the most (and least) enjoyable movies of the year, in no particular order. 

15 PEOPLE ON WHAT THEY WISH THEY WOULD HAVE LEARNT AT SCHOOL TO PREPARE THEM FOR THE REAL WORLD.

Friday 16 December 2016

I've had this post planned in my drafts for like a month now, and since I have an hour and a half to kill at the airport now is the perfect time to put it all together. We've all heard about how useless half the things we learnt in school are in the real world, like algebra, measuring the width of a river and how well you can recite all of MacBeth's soliloquy's. So I asked some of you guys to share what you think should be incorporated into those oh so useful PSHE lessons. 

BLOGMAS | STOCKING FILLERS & GIFTS FOR UNDER £10

Monday 12 December 2016

December is definitely the most expensive month of the year, I think we all get a bit carried away buying gifts for people and then end up with £15 to our name - or is that just me? Christmas is just 2 weeks away, so I'm sure most of you have done your christmas shopping by now, but incase you're looking for some inexpensive gifts for stockings or for a secret santa present, here is my list of gift ideas I think anyone would love. 

BLOGMAS | 15 PEOPLE SHARE THEIR AWKWARD CHRISTMAS STORIES.

Saturday 10 December 2016

Everyone has embarrassing stories regarding their families, so when it gets to christmas and you're stuck with them for pretty much two weeks straight, there's going to be a lot more stories to tell. One of mine has to be the time I walked into my "aunties house" listening to One Direction and was singing Best Song Ever very theatrically, I got to the living room before I realised I was in a completely random house and this old couple were just sat on the sofa staring at me blankly. Here's a couple more - enjoy!

BLOGMAS | 20 PEOPLE SHARE THE WORST GIFTS THEY'VE RECEIVED.

Tuesday 6 December 2016

We've seen the best, but the worst are always more memorable aren't they? I've had someone buying me pyjamas triple my size from Primark, smelly "old lady" perfume, and a christmas songs cd, like what use would that have after the 25th anyway? Most of the people on this list have chosen an alias, ya know incase you're the one who bought them these tragic gifts. Enjoy!

BLOGMAS | 20 PEOPLE ON THE BEST GIFT THEY'VE EVER RECEIVED.

Sunday 4 December 2016

Christmas is all about giving, but we all love receiving a little something to. Most of the time the best gifts aren't worth £££, I love when people remember things that I've mentioned I like and then surprise me with them, or even 5 packets of mac and cheese because I love mac and cheese.  I remember being like 12 and being overly excited about an electric singing toothbrush, whilst my little brother preferred the Mickey mouse disney bag his present came in! Now here are some of your favourites. 

WHAT I'VE LEARNT IN TWO YEARS OF BLOGGING.

Saturday 3 December 2016

I think this has to be the first 'blog' related post I've ever done, probably because I'm not exactly an expert on being the perfect blogger. I have however come a long way from posting about what I was getting up to in DisneyWorld, complete with typos, slang and really lame jokes. Not that all of that has stopped, but looking back my writing has changed so much over the space of these two years and sometimes I cringe at the way I wrote back then. I've had the opportunity to work with some great brands this year and met some great people, and thought it was about time I shared a post about what I've learnt about being a blogger these last two years! 

20 PEOPLE ON THEIR ALL TIME FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE.

Friday 2 December 2016

What better way to start than to give you a selection of movies to watch as we build up to the 25th. I used to love watching all the disney christmas movies when I was younger on TV, Santa Clause with Tim Allen, that one with Donald Duck and his 3 nephews repeating christmas every day and tha adorable clip where Mickey and Minnie sell their stuff so they can buy each other gifts, SO CUTE. Here are 20 people with their favourite holiday movies!
