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,

The Sunday Edit #2.

Hello!
It's time for another Sunday Edit, this week seems to have gone so quick even when I haven't been doing too much! Now for the run down on what I've been up to this week.

Last Friday was payday so it was inevitable for me to do a spot of shopping the Monday after, this seems to be becoming a monthly occurrence recently as town is a lot quieter on Mondays rather than the weekends! So off I headed to town opting for a monochrome look(surprise surprise) and warmer toned makeup, going for a neutral smokey eye. Monday's weather was boiling, I didn't need to take a jacket as it was soo warm, so i'm very glad I didn't! First I popped to Lush, Superdrug then Boots, Tiger, ELF and lastly Primark. To be quite honest I didn't go in for a full on shop, just running some errands to purchase some products I was needing and the odd 2 or 3 treats.

Tuesday and Wednesday I did not get up to much at all. Both days I woke up around 9, got up cleansed, got into comfy clothes then onto the sofa! However I didn't just laze around all day, I helped my Mum with some housework and then got round to doing some blogging, scheduling posts and catching up on Bloglovin'. Again I caught up on some of my YouTube subscriptions to ease my boredom before the rest of my family came home from work and school.

Thursday I actually woke up with some motive. Again waking up at a pretty reasonable time 9:30, cleansing and then into the comfies! I then took some photo's for instagram and this blog and did a little editing. Today was the day I decided to do some baking, after quite a long thought process  of 'I need to get baking'. My sisters are doing the Race for Life soon, which I am hoping to do myself next year but my sister held a charity event to raise money. The event included doing beauty treatments such as nails, pedicures, massaging and waxing as she is qualified in Beauty Therapy, to support the event we made some cakes and she will be serving them with cups of tea and coffee, yum! I was in charge of the Victoria Sponge and it was pretty successful although I forgot to take a photo so here is it in the process! 


Friday was a lazy day for me before working both Friday and Saturday evening. I did manage to catch up on some blogging but I'm not going to bore you with the rest of the day. I worked late Friday night so I really needed a lie in on Saturday but that didn't happen! I was up at 8 because I couldn't sleep and because I needed to shower before shopping. 

I went with my older sister, we got into town around 12 o'clock and we went book hunting. My sister is a primary teacher so she was in need of a story to base her lesson around, I loved looking at children's books! They brought back so many memories and I just wanted to buy them to read myself, we managed to pick up 3 really good ones, 2 of those were from Poundland can you believe it?! We only spotted them by chance when picking up sugar for my parents. I planned to splurge a little on Saturday and give my wardrobe a bit of a revamp, it didn't happen. I came out of a Primark with shoes that were my second option and worst of all they didn't fit:(! The shoes are pictured here but I'll be taking them back to try for my first option, if not in a size 5.

Here they are in black, I purchased the Nude colour- would be perfect for Summer!

I didn't pick up a lot so I'll just make a list of what I got- a Natural Collection Lipstick in the shade I wear daily(I forgot what it's called) but I earnt 100 points on my advantage card for that! Maybelline had a buy one get one half price so I picked up the Maybelline Brow Drama mascara in medium brown, to fill in my brows a little and as a quick fix. I then got a Babylips in Pink Punch to see what all the rave was about last year. Ooh last but certainly not least I picked up the Tea Tree toning water from Lush. 

I'm not doing anything this Sunday, I'm just relaxing and catching up on well needed sleep. I hope this hasn't been too much of a bore this week, hopefully next week will be more exciting as I'm supposed to be catching up with old school friends and seeing the Fault in Our Stars, so keep an eye out next week!

That's all for now, catch up with you next Sunday! Also hoping to get up a 'fashion' post up this week, may go awfully but anyway! Until next time!

The Sunday Edit.

Hello!
So this post is something I've seen a lot in the blogger world and I see many from the blogs I follow on bloglovin' and I wanted to join in myself, although my life is certainly not that interesting! So here's is just a short run through of what I've got up to this week.

Monday I was up earlier than I would of liked to have been on my first day of summer, I had an appointment at the bank at 10 am- where I opened my second bank account, purely to get a personalised card. Yes pretty sad, but my mum also kept saying to me 'don't keep all your eggs in one basket', wise words those! To break this post up I also thought i'd throw in here what I picked, so here it is-

Now Tuesday, again I was up earlier than I'd like to have been as I had to enroll back at college. I've now completed my first year *sigh of relief*. So there I had to sign things off, and finally enroll. Apparently my forgetful mind forgot that we had to have our photos taken for our student card, I nearly cried there and then mine is awful.

Wednesday was the day I was looking forward to this week. The day of the school trip, now I know that sounds a bit childlike but I helped out at the school where my sister works and we went to the aquarium. By the end of the day I was shattered, I couldn't wait to get into bed as I had spent the day with more than 50 6 year olds and even had a group of 5 of my own. This was daunting and took me a short while before hand to be OK with it as I've never been in charge of children that were purely my responsibility; none the less I took on the challenge and was actually successful- apart from one child near running out of the building *still internally screaming* but all was good!

And then the rest of the week has consisted of me waking up later than planned, getting ready and by ready I mean cleansing and brushing my teeth, throwing my hair on top of my head and getting into comfy clothes. Although these days have been pretty successful as I've written up a few blog posts, caught up on blogs and YouTube subscriptions and found out that I've passed my final assignment of the year with another A, so pleased ! I also have been to work in the evenings, but still I am very much looking forward to my night off tonight! 

Hope this hasn't been too same old, and broke up my blog a little! I'm going to try and do these 'Sunday Edit' posts each week but that will be depending on what I've got up to during the week and whether its interesting enough to share! Haha!

Until next time guys,
