Hey cats! Today I just wanted to do a little bit of a reflective and rambling post for myself looking back at what 2016 has taught me; I feel like for many people this hasn't been the best of years and that is certainly the case for me but within all that negativity are very positive lessons to carry forward. For those I...
Hey cats! Today I wanted to share with you my make-up brush collection; it's taken me a long time to find what brushes work well for me and suit the make-up I choose to wear so why not give it a little love?! Now I don't often use brushes for the purpose they're marketed for but there's nothing wrong with that at all,...
Cats. Doomsday is upon me. I'm so excited and also terrified. I've waited 2 weeks for this... who'd have thought washing your hair would become such a big deal?! Love a bit of melodrama, any who on with the usual shenanigans! I'm going to cover how I washed them, what I used, how I dried them and also what my dreads were like...
Hey cats! Recently I've really been getting into the colour orange and just at the right time I saw these gorgeous pants in the H&M conscious collection and absolutely had to have them! I love the ethnic vibe mixed with a modern, geometric print and I feel the colours really compliment this pattern. Albeit I'm short (5ft to be exact), because these pants...
Hey cats! So today I wanted to share some of the easiest ways I like to be eco-friendly around the house; these may all seem really simple and some of you may even do these already, but if not then here are some really simple ways to give back to both the planet and yourself! 1. Switch to accessible, eco-friendly cleaning products (e.g...
Hey cats!
So the lovely Chloe from Chloe Bee's Life was kind enough to tag me to take part in the 'This Time Next Year' tag and I do love setting myself some goals/getting my priorities organised, so I thought it best to seize the opportunity to do so! You can check out Chloe's post here and keep on reading if you want to find out where I want to be in a years time...
Rules of the tag:
Rules of the tag:
- Thank the person who tagged you
- Write your goals for next year
- Write how you’re going to achieve your goals
- Tag at least 5 of your blogger friends to share their goals
- Then, if you wish, in 365 days write a post for everyone to see if you have been successful or not
This time next year... I'll have finished college, qualified in what I want to do and be learning new skills to entwine perfectly with my chosen career path
I'll achieve this by... working hard, keeping positive and accepting help off others if I need it
This time next year... I hope to have more of the tattoos & piercings I want
I'll achieve this by... keeping healthy enough to have them, planning my time and saving up some money
This time next year... I'll be fully moved in with my boyfriend and also be able to drive
I'll achieve this by... pushing to carry on going through all the things I've hoarded, hopefully securing a part-time job to earn some money and also by having the confidence to take my driving test
This time next year... I'll have gotten into a healthier eating pattern & lifestyle, learnt more yoga and go to the gym regularly
I'll achieve this by... planning ahead with my meals, setting out a timetable/to-do list in order to keep me on track and try to learn more coping mechanisms for my anxiety in order to go to the gym
This time next year... I'll be blogging regularly and even making videos to fuel my enjoyment of this hobby/passion of mine
I'll achieve this by... once again organising my time, pushing myself to allow time for things I enjoy and creating myself a nice space to work from
I hope you enjoyed my goals, I wanted to include a range of big life goals as well as smaller ones, after all nothing you want to achieve is ever meaningless. I'll tag my blogger buds over on Twitter, so go check my profile out if you want to know who I've tagged! Thanks again to Chloe for tagging me and also to Sarah from Little Reader for creating this tag.
What do you want to have achieved by this time next year? Lets have a natter in the comments!

Hey cats! I've been a bit swamped lately and experienced a few setbacks in different areas of my life so naturally my blog has suffered a tad. I wanted to share another piece of reflective writing with you because I feel right now it's striking a chord with me and couldn't be more significant. It's amazing how sometimes you can come so far...
Hey cats! Okay yes I know, talk about jumping on the bandwagon here but in fairness I said I was trying to get into the spirit of Autumn so I figured what better way now that we're in the thick of it to do a nice Autumn Tag (find it here). 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I'm an old-fashioned,...
Hey cats! Here's the next instalment of my Dread Diaries and how I found my first two weeks, up until the point of washing... First Day Thoughts The length is a shock after having longer hair but I like it & I'm happy to have shorter hair again Being sideshow bob is annoying as hell and isn't my most attractive look But they...
Hey cats! Here's a quick little tag post that I saw and thought was a brilliant thing to do! This tag was created by Liv over at Life Unscripted which I thought was an amazing idea to get people involved in, then I saw Steph's version of the tag over at Steph's World and both ladies did such a fab job so hopefully I can add...
Hey cats! You may have seen lately that there's been a bit of a boom on the alternate therapy side of things; a big part of the hype has been around Himalayan salt lamps and all the benefits of having one so naturally I wanted to test this out, especially since I've been eyeing up one of these bad boys for a while!...
Hey cats! So here we are in Autumn and the last thing I thought I'd be doing is writing an Autumn themed post or be feeling even remotely excited for Autumn. There is reason for my usual pessimism at this time of year as I suffer from depression & anxiety, so the lack of light makes these much worse, plus my birthday is...
