Just a little update...

I just wanted to do a quick little update on what's happening at the moment, this week I am packing for my holiday for three weeks in France with my family which I am SUPER excited about! We are driving to Dover to get the Ferry to France where we will stay in Pair for a week and go to Euro Disney and do some sight-seeing as I have never been to Paris before! After that we are going to the Alps for a week (I know it's weird going in the summer... right?) before going to Monaco for the remaining week. before that amazing trip though (and I mean the day before) I have to go into school to pick up my AS results that will tell me whether or not I am eligible to stay on in sixth form or if I will have to go to collage for 2 years to do a foundation degree in Psychology before going to university - I am beyond scared but I guess if it's not meant to be then it won't happen right?

Ten things to do when bored this summer

when we were sat at school last month, dreaming of summer break, we envisioned all this freedom to go outside everyday and have a really relaxing time away from school but when did 'relaxing' turn into 'boring'?  - Here are my top ten things to do when I'm bored in the summer, enjoy! :)

1. Go for  run
2. Go on a bike ride
3. Re-decorate your bedroom, or just re-arrange your furniture
4. Personalise your school supplies ready for back-to-school
5. Have a picnic with friends, family or jut your favourite teddy bears :)
6. Grow your hair/nails, summer is the perfect time to do this because the sun promotes faster growth in your hair and nails
7. Try a new sport, ever wanted to try football, tennis or squash? - well why not try it this summer so if you decide to join your school's team in September you'll be a pro! (kind of)
8. Do a bit of gardening? I know it sounds like a granny-ish thing to do, but gardening can be a great way to catch some sun while keeping your parents off your back for not helping around the house.
9. Do a beauty cleanse, and I don't mean only consume hot water and lemon for a week or anything like that, but try going as long as you can without wearing any makeup and make sure to develop a habit of properly cleansing your face every morning and night!!
10. Do a DIY project,  whether it's putting up some shelves or painting a canvas, a DIY project is the perfect way to spend  a summer day

A little about me...

After a long time of procrastinating, I have finally decided to start my blog. I am currently at an awkward time in my life where I don't really know what I want to do or become, I am 17 years old and still in school (sixth form) at the moment I am looking at potential universities for next year (I will hopefully be applying this September). My hobbies and interests are changing and developing all the time so I wanted to create a place to document it all,  so here it goes...
