Sales- people either love them and want to go into every shop or they want to stay as far away from them as possible! For me, whether it be online or in the shops, I can't get enough of them (however I think my bank account disagrees with that statement but heyho!) Since I received money for Christmas, and me being me, I just couldn't hold myself back when I saw that  New Look had a sale on, and I mean a proper sale. However, when I see the sale signs as I walk into the shop, I always try to tell myself that I really don't need any more clothes and that spending more money would just be stupid, yet without fail I manage to walk out with at least one item every single time.  Typical. But I thought that a positive of me buying so many clothes, would be to put them on here, just incase you're the sort of person who likes this kind of thing but doesn't like shopping? Who knows. So when I was in town yesterday, I managed to pick up five items in New Look. The first of ...

Happy New Year! I have to say now that looking back on 2015, it was quite a year for me. From finishing school in June, to turning 18, then getting my first job! The year honestly flew by without noticing it. Turns out, the first year of "adult life" has been a challenge on occasions but overall, I think I'm going to get the hang of it. But as it has changed into 2016, I think now is the best time to think about change. Whether these changes be in my lifestyle, habits or in employment or job/education who knows... But more focus is needed. Now I know that throughout some stage in our lives, we have all been through that "I'm going to get super fit and healthy because it's a new year" however, we all know how long that lasts! As it's a new year, I think I might actually try to stick to the changes that I plan on making (I'll hold myself to this!) Firstly, I think that one of the most important changes that is needing done is for...

Hello everyone,  How are we all? I do have to apologise for not having a post uploaded in a while but I do have my reasons aha! From my Prom which signified the celebration of the end of my school career to having the amazing opportunity to see Michael Flatley's Lord Of The Dance at the Playhouse in Edinburgh and of course my new specs! Prom, where do I start?! Well, our venue for this was at the Murryfield International Stadium in Edinburgh (home of Scottish rugby!) and I have to say it was definitely an amazing atmosphere! I couldn't have asked for a better night (apart from some air-conditioning which woulda be great!) but being able to spend time with my friends before we all go our separate ways, whether it be to Uni or in my case Germany! I have to admit that when it came to choosing a dress, I was driving both myself and my mum round the bend with my indecisiveness, which I have to admit is a regular occurrence... To begin with I wanted a floor length dress...

Evening all,     How are you doing this fine evening?  Big apologies for not posting much on here, it has been very stressful since we last spoke! Family members being in hospital so the blog had to take a back seat. But I thought that I should probably give you an update as to what is going on in my life at the moment! First of all, I have finished school for ever! EEEK! I have to say that my last day was quite emotional, saying goodbye to the teachers I have seen everyday for six years turns out to be a real tear jerker! But I think that it was also the realisation that I'm not going to be in the safety of the school and that I'm being thrown out into the big bad world - UH OH! However, there is an upside to going out into the big bad world. I have recently applied to become an Au-Pair (like a nanny) working in Germany! This has been a very big decision for me to make as I'd be leaving all my family and friends at home (but only for a year and...

Afternoon Lovelies,  How are you? I know it has been quite a long time since I have been on here but that's because I have been doing my prelims and have been doing various dance shows so it's been quite a busy time!  But I thought that since I felt determined to write a half decent post, I thought I would talk about body positivity and self confidence and society etc... So let's get cracking shall we? (Before we get started, I'd just like to say that my computer was acting like a complete muppet hence why the layout has gone haywire!!) So, over the years I have become more aware of what society's vision of the "perfect woman" looks like... And it turns out, the vision can change every single year! One year it can expect you to be a size 6 with no curves to being a size 14 and being "curvy" but no actually having curves. Ummm... Society can you just make ...

Hello everyone!       Those of you who know me, you all know by now that I am completely and utterly obsessed with Irish Dancing. This obsession has gradually grown since I started dancing almost two and a half years ago. I dance at Peacock Dance Academy which is based in Edinburgh and taught by TCRG's Nathalie Peacock and Daniella Haak (who are absolutely amazing teachers). However, before I do show you I must tell you one thing, Irish Dancing is NOT Riverdance. Riverdance is a production by Michael Flatley (who is a huge inspiration by the way), and Riverdance involves both types of Irish Dance. Okay? Now that I have cleared up that stereotype, let's take a look at the world of Irish dance!              So, there is two types of Irish dancing. The first is Solo Dances. Solo dances tend to be performed at competitions which are called a Feis. These competitions take place all over ...
