Please Read | Goodbye: Quiting this blog but starting a new one?!?

About a month ago, I decided that I didn't like where my blog was going. As a blogger, it happens a lot that you may feel uninspired about content, but normally these spells go away. Incredibly, I've been writing this blog since 2014, and this has it's pros and cons. Although I can see how I've grown in the past few years, I also have to carry old content- that simply isn't me anymore- with me. It's time for a change.

How To Make Easy Easter Mini Egg Brownies

Hi everyone. So this post is actually pre-written. I made these brownies back in February, as mini eggs had just got into the shops and I had to get myself one, and I created this recipe. However, as I give up chocolate for lent, I decided to write up this post early and put it up at a more appropriate time. Without further a-do, this is how you make mini eggs brownies (PS you may be hungry after reading this!!).

Scrapbooking - My Tips And Tricks

Hey everyone. So part of my 2016 goals was to write more blog posts about the things that inspire me that I really want to write about. So today, I thought I’d chat to you about one of my greatest loves: scrapbooking. Scrapbooking is no longer a thing for the moms of America and it isn’t a thing just for crafters. I love it and here I will show you how my 2015 scrapbook went, what I learnt and my plan for this year.

The Best Lush Bath Ever - Intergalactic Review

Getting back into things then. January was an okay month for me but I feel my blog suffered. I talked about this more in my recent JanuaryUpdate post, so today I’ll just jump right in into a good-old LUSH review.

The January Update.

Hey everyone. So somehow we have landed at the end of January and I can’t quite believe it. I’m not normally one for whizz-past months but this January has! I think with my pre-GCSE time running slowly out and hectic weekends filled with work, a lot of my time may feel like this so I thought I’d update you on my January- what I’ve been up to, loving and looking forward to!

The Wardrobe Cleanse

Hey everyone. So it's new year. Twenty Sixteen. Along with the pledge we give to eat healthier and go to the gym everyday (not something I think I'll ever do), the new year also gives us the chance to get organised for the months ahead. For me, I took this as a chance to clear all my Christmas decorations and clean up my bedroom. Furthermore, I decided it was time to take on my over-filled wardrobe and give it the cleanse it clearly needed. This trio of posts sees how I did it and my next steps.

Two Thousand And Sixteen Resolutions

Two thousand and sixteen. Somehow, we have all jumped into this new year and, although I can't fathom that 2015 is over, I am excited to start it. I enjoy the spirit of new years, the fact we all give ourselves a new start, a fresh do-over and a chance to become someone we want to become.

Five Favourite Things About Christmas | Day 12: 12 Days Of Blogmas

Hey everyone. Somehow, miraculously, it is Christmas Eve and I can’t quite believe it. The festive season is drawing to a close and it’s nearly the big day. That warm Christmassy feeling is holding my heart and I can’t quite well. But, for now, I thought I would share with you my five favourite parts of Christmas- because it’s Christmas Eve and a Christmas blog post is essential I think.

Sharing Feedback With Other Bloggers + Reflecting | Day 11: 12 Days Of Blogmas

So with near year a whisker away and this manic 12 days of blogging nearly over, I have found myself pondering about my blog. As a blogger, one of the hardest things is to keep going and to keep putting up content you, and your readers love, so every few months, I like to take a step back and reflect on what I’m doing.

The John Lewis Advert Quote That Resonated With Me | Day 10: 12 Days Of Blogmas

Hey everyone. So today, I wanted to go back to one of my favourite posts to read and write, one of my quote posts. Today’s quote actually comes from somewhere very familiar, an iconic advert about a lonely man living on the moon: the John Lewis advert. Although I thought the John Lewis advert was good, it was actually the song ‘Half The World Away’ and it’s lyrics that stayed with me.

Let It Snow - Book Review | Day 8: 12 Days Of Blogmas

Hey everyone. With less than a week till Christmas, there are only so many things you can do to get festive: stuff your face with festive food, watch back to back Christmas movies or spend far too long Christmas shopping. However, one thing you may not have thought of is a Christmas read. I have been super busy lately, so I haven’t actually finished the whole of this book but I thought I’d tell you about it, so you can give it a read (or start to) this festive season.

Which Vlogmas Videos You Should Be Watching | Day 6: 12 Days Of Blogmas

Hey everyone. Well, with SEVEN days left till Christmas, the festive season is in full step. Along with busy shopping session, festive fun and endless Christmas songs on the radio, the season also brings Vlogmas. As a watcher of Youtube, I really like the Vlogmas season- getting a video every day is such a treat- but with so many youtubers committing to it now, you can’t watch them all. So here is a run-down to the ones I’m watching and why I like them.

Christmas Tag + Announcement! | 12 Days Of Blogmas

Hey everyone. So today I have an announcement. For the 12 days running up for Christmas, I will be putting up a blog post EVERY DAY. I did Blogmas last year but life has been super busy this year and last year was kinda stressful, so I decided I’d do the 12 days of Blogmas. Hopefully, these posts will get you excited for Christmas and give you some ideas about festive outfits, Christmas makeup and maybe some inspiration.

Snapshot Sunday: Mock Exams and Festive Fun


Hey everyone. So today sees the return of my Snapshot Sunday post as I update you on what’s been going on lately. This week has been year 11 mock week, and to be honest it’s been pretty hellish. The last few weeks have been split between working and revising, but now the end is here and I can go back to normal(ish) life. Also, happy December, because IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

Teen Girl's Gift Guide 2015


Hey everyone. So it’s that time again- bitter cold winter days and whispers of festive music fill the air… Christmas is on its way. Yes I know it’s still November but this week, for some reason, has been the week of the Christmas Gift Guides. I always love these posts and videos, so thought this year I would create a post of my own.
