I haven't waffled on about my new found love for the gym on my blog yet, so I thought it was about time. And since quite a few people have asked me 'how I do it' concerning my 5-6 days a week gym sessions, I thought I would share with all my lovely readers how I've managed to stay motivated, and how you...

Day 19: Your fears Often people consider that when you talk about fear, you're only referring to things like animals and heights, but there's a few more things, including the typical ones, that I'm actually afraid of. I wouldn't say I'm scared of a lot, but maybe not what's expected... I hope this isn't the weirdest list you've ever seen, because I've personally...

Day 18: Your Beliefs I've once again fallen behind on my 30 Day Writing Challenge, but I believe my birthday weekend was a good enough excuse and I'll do my best to catch up on the challenge! So, my beliefs...personally I don't want to make this post into anything serious; I know I could talk about gender equality, LGBT rights and my moral...

I saw this brilliantly awkward tag over at Lauren's blog, The Emerald Dove, and thought it was an interesting way for you all to get to know me a little better. Check out Lauren's post and do let me know if you've done something similar! Of course, I only said goodbye to my teenage years 2 days ago, so for me the 'awkward...

I've fallen so behind on my 30 Day Writing Challenge simply due to having a very lazy weekend and also not preparing my posts in advance *slaps wrist*. So, to make up for all those missed posts I thought I'd just give a little summary of the ones I've missed, here goes... Day 14: Your earliest memory I genuinely can't think of what...

Day 13: Somewhere you would like to move to or visit How can someone have just one place that they'd like to visit? It's hard to pin point just one but I'm going to pick the place that I'd like to visit in the very near future. It's a hard choice, because there's a massive list of places that I'd love to go,...

Day 12: Bullet your whole day  Now I can't promise you a fun filled day of student antics because I'm stuck inside with no choice but to be a boring student and tap away at my keyboard writing marginally intelligent comments about F. Scott Fitzgerald and Anna Katherine Green, but nonetheless, in the hope something interesting may come of my day, you shall...

Despite the fact I have very little money at this current moment in time, I decided to treat myself to a new piece of jewellery. I'd been swooning over so many of the items from Lvndr, and as they sell such affordable accessories I didn't see any harm in buying myself a very early birthday present!  The postage was super cheap too and...

Day 11: My Music Put your music player on shuffle and write ten songs that come up: I warn you now I've got a dodgy taste in music so fingers crossed no embarrassing tunes crop up. I also don't have much of a collection as I downloaded most of the music that's on my iPod from my friends' iTunes over many years. 1....

Day 10: Discuss your first love and first kiss Well...I wasn't particularly looking forward to writing this post...but the cringey show must go on! source So my first kiss... Well in primary school (and later in secondary school) I had this weird on and off fling with this guy called Nathan. We 'went out' a couple of times, and spent a lot of...

This past weekend has been an absolutely brilliant one. I've finally had the chance to leave the grips of Stoke-on-Trent for a night away despite my dwindling finances. Over the past 7 months I haven't really been away from Keele, I've had one weekend away in Sheffield, one day away in Birmingham and two weeks back home in Cornwall, and that's literally it....

Day 8: A moment you felt most satisfied with your life I sat here for a while thinking about what this moment could possibly be, and I came to the conclusion that it's now. It surprises me a little but when I really think about it, I've never been more satisfied with my life than I am now, there's only one thing I'd...

Day 7: Your zodiac sign and if you feel it fits your personality I'm just on the cusp of being an Aries as I was born on the 22nd of this month (only 15 days away woo!) and I don't believe I fit in with all of the Aries characteristics, but there's definitely a few that sum me up. But before I get...

I've been feeling terribly ill all day and painting my nails is literally the most productive thing I've managed to do. I've got two essays, an essay proposal and seminar work to be done, but I'd rather look at my purdy nails and watch back series 1 of Luther. Top evening. For your amusement, here's a photograph of me taking the final image...hands...

Day 6: Thirty interesting facts about yourself I've had my blog for almost a year and a half now, so many of you probably know a fair bit about me, but for my new followers, and those who just want to know something random, here's thirty (interesting or not - you decide) facts about myself! 1. My hair is naturally a sandy blonde...
