STUDYING ABROAD IN THE UK, IS IT FOR YOU?*
Tuesday, 23 May 2017
Studying abroad has its obvious benefits. You’ll be able to get out the country and come to Britain. It’ll be a great adventure and after you’ve finished at university, who knows, you could end up staying here. Why wouldn’t anybody want to do it? If you’re thinking like this, you may need to slow down. While it is a great opportunity to explore the world, it does still have its downsides. You will be completely uprooting your life, leaving all of your family and friends behind, and starting again. There is always the chance that you could run into problems, which is why proper planning is vital. If you are toying with the idea of moving to Britain to study, there are a few things you should think carefully about first.
UNIVERSITY DEGREE DONE AND DUSTED, NOW WHAT NEXT?
Friday, 19 May 2017
I am currently sat in bed listening to Lana Del Rey with a glass of Lidl white wine, and it still hasn't sunk in yet that my 4 years at university are over. In that time I've spent a semester living in Florida, a year working in London and a lot of time in bed watching movies, hence this list of movies recommendations for you. I'm going to save the reflecting for a bit later on, once I've left Bournemouth and it's actually hit me that I won't be seeing my friends daily anymore, or drinking caramel frappucino's in the library (there's no Starbucks in Gibraltar) or spending 3 hours in the downstairs room in Cameo. In Easter I kind of went through a quarter life crisis because I didn't know what I was going to do next with my life, I just have a fear of being bored and I never really like staying in the same place for a long time. So I decided to write this post thinking with a positive outlook and what I actually want to achieve in the months coming after finishing university.
North America is much bigger than just the USA, Canada might be one of the best countries in the world for a road trip. The views range from the quiet beauty of the Quebec country roads to the jaw-dropping mountains of British Columbia. The stops range from the diverse metropolis that is Toronto to the gorgeous, quaint Goderich. But there’s plenty that can go wrong on any road trip. Once you’re sure you’ve got the car organized and plenty of warm clothes packed, what do you need to be concerned with?
MY SPRING SKINCARE ROUTINE WITH ANATOMICALS.
Thursday, 18 May 2017
If you regularly pop into Topshop, then I'm sure you've all heard of this brand, with their colourful and quirky packaging they're hard to miss. I was kindly sent a few products by Anatomicals to try and I have no complaints, which is why these products have officially made it into my spring skincare routine. I always find it so much easier to keep a regime up when all the products are from the same brand, as they're all staring me in the face when I'm in the bathroom, and with this colourful lot I haven't failed yet! Keep reading to find out my thoughts on the products.

MY HAND LUGGAGE & TRAVEL ESSENTIALS, A COLLABORATION WITH MARC B.
Sunday, 14 May 2017
I can't remember the last time I was able to travel with just a handbag for hand luggage, I've been moving around so much lately that I usually need all the space I can get which means more 'wheely' suitcases for me! When I get the luxury of being able to just use a bag for travelling (or the airline lets me get away with both) it makes flying more enjoyable in that I can have everything I need under the seat in front of me, and usually once I get to my destination I can just head straight back out with my bag. Marc B kindly sent me their cherrybrook mushroom handbag for all my travelling essentials - here's everything that comes along with me when travelling!
10 FAVOURITES, GET TO KNOW ME.
Tuesday, 9 May 2017
Today is a big day, because I finally handed in my dissertation! It was sad to see it go, but now it means I have a lot more time to concentrate on my blog (and my two other assignments). Any normal person would be spending the evening watching Netflix or Youtube videos but it seems my fingers can't get enough of writing now. Here's a post I saw recommended by another blogger and thought I might as well create my own so you guys can get to know me a little bit more. If you're a blogger yourself then it would be great to see your lists too! Here are a few of my favourite things.
MY FIRST HOSTEL STAY EXPERIENCE, AND 5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER STAYING IN ONE TOO.
Saturday, 6 May 2017
When you're travelling and tell your friends and family you're staying in a hostel you either get one of two reactions - "oh nice they're so cheap and you'll make loads of friends!" or "how scary, have you not seen the movie hostel?". I think there's a lot of misconceptions about hostels but for people who travel a lot they know most of the time they're perfectly safe, affordable and great if you like socialising and finding new drinking/travel buddies. Last month I spent a week in Amsterdam and Berlin and stayed in hostels in both places, which was a big contrast to the 5 star hotels I was staying in India the week before! But I survived it, and I'm here to tell you all about my first experience staying in a hostel.

May has never been an exciting month, but we do get a nice bank holiday! For most of us it usually means exams, deadlines and stress.
