Happy New Year I hope everyone has had a fabulous festive season.
It's my birthday on Friday (6th) and me and Oli are off to Dublin for a couple of days.
This last year has been a crazy one, and new years eve at Abi and Dans was something else, our last Journalism new years eve together and we all went completely insane. The drinks were flowing and we counted in the new year all together which was amazing.
I recently, well today, passed my driving theory test so I am hopefully well on my way to finally completing my driving test. I think once I have acheived my dream of travelling arround Europe I will look into getting a car, depending on where I choose to do my masters. Hopefully this year will be the year of achieving things that I have wanted to acheive for many years. This brings me on to my new years resolutions.
My new years resolutions:
1. Go Vegetarian.
2. Pass my driving test.
3.Meditate each day.
4. Pass my degree with at least a 2:1.
Pastels. I love them.
They look good enough to eat, always look sweet and on hair, makeup, clothes and even exteriors they can be worked. Pastel hair is somthing that I LOVE at the moment, and pastel purple lipstick is somthing that I have been working into my daily look.
Summer is here and I'm looking forward to:
1. My holiday in Mauritius.
2. Starting my new job at Costa.
3. Starting my third year at uni.
I have moved into my new flat in Bristol for third year with my two friends Zoe and Ffion, in Cotham/Stokes croft area and I love it. I can't wait to sample more of the culture around the area, for example Meat Liquor and Pocos. I'm excited to have more time to spend on my art, photography and sewing.
Currently this summer I've enjoyed going to El Dorado festival, and T in the park, although I haven't posted much on here recently, I hopefully will keep you guys more up to date!

It was starting to get summery and pretty outside the other day so that means only one thing. Glitter, ciders, fun in the sun and parties with friends. But for now, as it continues to pour with rain, lets just admire these pretty glittery looks, and listen to upbeat summery music.

I'm currently back home in Tickenham in Somerset, for Easter. My family and I went out for a pub lunch today and I used that as an excuse to take some beautiful photos of the villages in Somerset where I've grown up.
I've always been proud of my West country roots. Cider, farms, cheddar cheese and festivals are what we are famous for, and that's why I never really wanted to travel too far away from home for uni.
Here are some pictures that I took today, in the dark rainy and beautiful Somerset countryside.

Bagels!!!! |
I went to bagel boy the other day for the first time and it was fab.
We headed to the one in the city centre, although I live near one on Gloucester Road too!
I had a Serrano ham, pesto sauce bagel with a drink and a cookie for FIVE pounds! Me and Naomi also shared parmesan chips. The restaurant was super busy so we had to wait a while for our food, but that just goes to show how popular it is.

From the outside |
The bagels were warm, toasty and comforting and the restaurant was decorated in a cool minimalistic style with wooden benches and tables, and the menu written on a chalk board by the bar, and you could also use the little paper menus from the bar. The only bad thing was that because it was so busy, we had to wait a little while for our food and the seating wasn't too comfy. And I was starving. The chips were tasty, crispy and I loved the parmesan on top, a combo I'd never tried before.

Bagel Boy! |
3/5 Stars.
Day 1 // Saturday.
we arrived at our hotel, the three corners Bristol hotel ( coincidence of a name there!) dropped off our bags and headed out. It was pretty late when we arrived so we wanted to head out and get drunk straight away. We went to Szimpla Kert, an amazing ruin bar with a really cool boho vibe that my housemates recommended. The drinks are litterally like 70p everywhere. After Szimpla we met some locals that took us to another ruin bar/club place called Fogasház that played some really good techno music.
Day 2 // Sunday.
We woke up and enjoyed an all you can eat breakfast at our hotel, then got ready and set out for the day. We took a tram to Buda, where we walked along the Yellow bridge and admired the views.
We walked around Buda, admired the parliament building and then headed up to Fishermans Bastian. The views were insane. Then we walked around the top of the castle, around the church and then headed down to walk across the chain bridge.
We then decided to head to the icebar, it was freezing, naturally, but was fun and fairly cheap. The cocktails were all made with Hungarian liquor which I thought was ok, but Oli hated.
After this we decided to go out for some food and headed to a restuarant called Galleria, went for some more drinks at Szimpla, then headed out to a Club called Instant with a couple we bumped into who we had shared a taxi with from the airport.
Day 3 // Monday
We tucked into Breakfast again then took the tram and metro to the Thermal spa at Szechenyi, which was amazing and so relaxing and pretty! We then explored the surrounding buildings. We then stopped nearby for some food at a restuarant, then headed back on the tram and visited the Budapest train station. We had super cheap drinks near our hotel in a traditional Hungarian bar, then finished the night once again in Szimpla, but not before stopping off a a tea bar called "The cave of the green turtle."
Day 4// Tuesday
Breakfast and home flights. sad times :((
