The August Agenda

Hello!
I thought my next post would be a small update on what I plan to do this August, even though we're already 10 days into the month, oops! I've not got a hell of a lot planned this month in terms of events but there are a few things I do plan to get done. This is not a wish/bucket list as I've already done one for this summer, here on my blog, but here's what I plan to do in August..

Source:  Google- here.

• Spend time with family

Next Saturday to be exact me and my family are off down south to South Devon. We've been close to Plymouth before but if you didn't already know Plymouth is one of my uni options(although i'm still debating whether I want to go at all), so i'd like to see the uni and the area itself in general. Of course that's not all we're doing and why we're going, we're heading away for a short break and also plan to visit the zoo and beach! I must rephrase that, visit the beach to walk along- me and my families are definitely not beach bums and I don't expect the weather to be so great! Also I hate sand anyway.

• Catch up with friends

This is a must! Although I've just realised this is sounding a lot like my Summer Bucket List but i'm going to be more particular. My friend is away on holiday at the moment and has been for a short while, and me and other close friend don't get to spend much time together due to our work shifts. But this August i'd definitely like to spend time with them even it means just going for food or to see the Inbetweeners 2- how have I not caved and seen it already on my own? Haha, I joke that would be pretty sad.

• Cram(oops) last minute college work in..

I felt like I had done the work I had to do over Summer, but it turns out I've been emailed a list of what I need to do before I go back on the 5th September, eek so soon I may cry! So once i'm back from my travels I must crack on with that and just prepare to go back to college anyway. This means I sort out my life, aka my sleeping patterns, waking up early and do not wake up on the first day back and scurry around to find a pen in the morning! This means stationary shopping: note to self- do not leave this to the last minute(the day before you go back)

• Blog, blog blog. Oh and do an outfit/fashion post.

Obviously with being off college I've had a lot more time to blog, during term time my studies are my main priority(of course). I can already feel that this last year is going to be hectic with so much to do even before Christmas so I won't have much time to blog, not only that- I'll be tired! So as Summers coming to an end, this August I plan to write as many as I can to schedule for those times when i'm busy. 

Also this blog is supposed to be 'Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle', although i'm getting better with the Lifestyle sides of things, the fashion posts are lacking! I will be posting a clothing haul and i'm quite happy with some of my purchases so who knows, hopefully i'll get a fashion post up! Maybe an OOTD.

So there you have it, as I said this post wasn't going to be me listing events as I've just not planned that far in advance yet but in my head I have. I've got 21 days to complete each one of these things, hopefully things go to plan! Apologies if this post was a bit boring but this was sort of an update post to keep you guys informed!

See you next with my clothing haul!

The Summer Wishlist 2014

Hello!
Today I thought i'd share with you what i'm hoping to get done and dusted this summer seeing as we've recently had quite a nice few days, the weather has put me in the mood! So that's what i'll be sharing with you today and I'll get straight into it!

1. To spend as much time outside and make the most of warmer weather and just being outdoors in general. 

2. Catch up with old school friends, of course! I really have not seen them enough through the academic year so I will definitely get my planning head on and get organising! Hopefully some day trips including London or Bristol-shopping, visiting the beach(I stress visiting, not actually going onto the beach as I hate sand!) and just spending more time together!

3. Continue working hard and stop procrastinating! I've heard that Pisces are hard workers but even harder procrastinators and I truly live up to that trait! I have work to do over the summer for the biggest assignment of my course, so I need to get that done and out of the way but I've kept putting it off!  I completed the work I had to do over summer. I also got my exam result back, I finished my first college year with an overall A, yay(squealing)!

Here.

4. To start Pen-palling! I've wanted to do this for a while now and bringing my parents around to the idea is proving harder than I expected!

5. Mentioning my parents there, I'd also like to spend more time with my family! Especially appreciating my sisters as the eldest is moving out this summer, and I don't see much of my other sister as she's either at her boyfriends house or will be working! I'm also warming to the idea of visiting England and Plymouth area in particular to spend a week or two away with family and in general investigate the area as this is somewhere I'd like to go to Uni!

6. Talking about Uni, aye smooth transitions! I'd like to attend at least 1 Uni open day, as other colleges seem to have done so much more to do with Uni and my college have done nothing! 

7. I'd like to do something to my hair, it's been the same boring growing out colour for about 2 years. It's also changed to a mix of light brown, coppers and blondes! I'm not enjoying it and would like to go a lighter ashy blonde colour!

Here.

8. To always consider healthier options. Now i'm not exactly over the moon with my weight, i'd like to loose a little and just get fitter and healthier in general. Summer is fab for that as I love salads in the warmer weather!

9. To change something in my life, whether this be just saying 'Yes' to more, getting a new job, or even changing my room around to start-a-fresh. 

10. Last but certainly not least, to re-vamp my blog! I've had a little play around to see how I can make my blog more appealing for the time being but i'd really like to change the layout and 'theme' of how it looks, considering the colours etc!

So there you have it, a run down of what i'd like to get done this summer! I may even come back to this post and cross off what I've achieved, or do a completely new blog post to tell you and reflect on the summer.
I hope you've enjoyed hearing what i'd like to get done this summer, i'd love to know what's on your Summer 2014 Wish List! Let me know in the comments below or link me to your blog if you've done it and i'll definitely check it out! 

Until next time,
