Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing super well! So I thought I would just do a kind of update kind of post for you all on here.

So I basically just wanted to talk about my YouTube channel on here. So for those of you who don’t know I have started up a YouTube channel. Now I have actually had it for a little while now but I guess I just haven’t really got around to doing a post about it on here.

So I had wanted to start up a You Tube channel for a while and as it was the summer holiday I just thought why not? What did I have to lose?

My channel is based around all things beauty, lifestyle, fashion and I guess anything really. I’m really excited to have ventured out into this as I love YouTube. But not only do I love You

I don’t really want to waffle on for too long about what it is I do on there as I want to keep my blog and You Tube separate to a certain extent and I guess if you want to know more about my videos you can just watch them so I thought rather than rambling on I will leave some links below so you can have a little look at my channel if you wish.

I would also just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has already shown me incredible amounts if support by not only liking my videos but also subscribing. It honestly does mean a lot and I am so glad I have such amazing people in my life that support me with the things that I love.

Here are some of the links to my channel and my videos-

Hey guys, 

I hope you are all doing well. Today’s post is just a short one but I couldn't resist sharing with you guys some pictures from the FSL pre launch. 

So as some of you may have seen from some of my previous blog posts Fashion Show Live held a Pre Launch Event at the University of Bedfordshire.

The launch gave people an understanding of what it is FSL do and who they are. It also was the grand reveal of the FSL promo video.

There was a champagne reception and a talk followed by a chance to network. 

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing well. Today I’m back with another blog post (Obviously haha). Today’s post is about my visit to Madame Tussauds.

I went to the Madame Tussauds in London located on Baker Street the other day. It was actually my first time at Madame Tussauds and it beat all of my expectations. I mean don’t get me wrong I was excited before I went but when I was there I really was like ‘wow this is amazing’.

We had booked our tickets in advance so it firstly meant we didn’t have to queue which of course set our day off to a great start.

There were different sections in Madame Tussauds. The first section was like acting and the media, that kind of thing. I loved this part there was Posh and Becks, Leonardo DeCaprio and even Kim and Kanye!

After this section we went to the fashion interactive section where we found Kendall and Cara and even got to strut down a catwalk and show off our best poses which was a lot of fun.

We then walked through to the next section where there was the likes of Katness Everdeen from the hunger games, Shrek and even Marylyn Monroe and Aubrey Hepburn which again was amazing and called for a lot more photos!

When we were done there we moved onto the sports section where we stuck a pose with Mo Farah and Usain Bolt of course!

Now for my favourite part the pop and music section, there was Beyonce, Miley, Adele, Rihanna, One Direction, Bob Marley, Amy Whinehouse and I’m not going to lie I fangirled a bit in this section even though they were just wax works! haha.

After all my excitement in that section we moved onto the world leaders section where we got snapped outside Downing Street and with the likes of Obama and nelson Mandela.

It was now time for the Sherlock homes experience, here we went through an adventure to find Sherlock with real actors through a case which had been made up for us to solve.

After finding Sherlock we went into the marvel section where I got pictures with hulk and lots of other well known characters before entering the 4D marvel cinema experience which was so good. It really felt like you were in the film.

We then went through to the Star Wars experience; we got to take pictures with Darth Vader and even Tubaka!

It was such a lovely day and we finished it off by getting a really yummy McDonalds. It was such a great day and I would really recommend it for a day out in London.

I hope you have enjoyed this post, and thank you for reading!

Heya!

I hope you are all okay; today’s post is going to be about my visit to the Hitchin Lavender fields.

The Hitchin lavender fields are located in Hitchin (obviously). There is a whole meadow of lavender and also when I went there was also a huge patch of sunflowers and things like wild flowers.

There is also a café on site where you can sit and relax or plenty of picnic areas also if you want to bring something of your own. As well as being able to buy lavender from the shop there you can also pick your own.

For around £4 you are given a large brown bag and some cutting sheers/scissors so you can pick your lavender. There is also a trail you can follow if you don’t want to go picking and want to have a nice dog walk in the sun or something like that.

The Lavender is set out in a meadow on a slight hill and there are actually different varieties of lavender on display. It was actually sooo pretty and I really loved it!

After walking through the lavender and taking a lot of pictures we went over to see the sunflowers. They were huge! They were so pretty and I brought one to take home for 50p which is now sitting pride of place in a vase of water in our kitchen.

After having a walk through the fields it was time to find some shade and have our picnic. We had a browse in the shop before heading home.

It was a lovely day and a great activity for the summer. I hope you enjoyed reading about it!

Thank you

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing super well! Today’s post is going to be all about my trip to Sketch.

As part of my 18^th birthday present I chose to go to Sketch with my family. Sketch is a restaurant in London with various different rooms which have different themes. These themes are displayed through both the decoration and food.

I chose to have afternoon tea at sketch in what I call the ‘pink room’ but I think it is actually known as the gallery.

The room was decorated by a commissioned artist and it was so just the prettiest thing ever. I loved it!

The afternoon tea consisted of sandwiches scones and cakes and there was plenty of it to say the least, I also had the nicest green tea infused with orange flavouring. It was also all really, really tasty, which for a fussy eater like me was very surprising.

Not only was the décor of the gallery room where we had our afternoon tea incredible but the toilets where set out in pods which created a whole other experience, haha.

After having our afternoon tea at sketch we then went for a wonder around some of the nearby shops which was very nice also.

For the day I wore my house of Holland tartan dress which I absolutely love! I paired this with my light pink Zara leather jacket which I got for my birthday along with my Alexander sunglasses and Stella McCartney clutch which I also very kindly got for birthday. I then wore some black chunky heels to complete the look.

I had a really lovely day and was a great way to end my 18^th birthday celebrations. I hope you have enjoyed today’s post and thank you once again for having a read!

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing well! So I recently had my 18^th birthday. Well I guess not that recently now as I am a bit late writing this post oops! Anyway I thought I would share with you guys what I did on my birthday so that’s what this post is going to be about.

So on my actual birthday we went to London. Now as most of you may know I have a twin brother. So we were both celebrating. For his choice we went to the hard rock café, which is somewhere I also love so it worked out very well. It is also where we went for our 13^th birthday so it was quiet nice to come back for another one of our special birthdays.

At the Hard Rock Café I had my first legal drink. I chose a really tasty cocktail with an orange fruity taste. For my meal I had macaroni and cheese which was also very nice! We then all shared a chocolate brownie and ice cream for dessert as the portions at the Hard Rock Café are huge!

Once we had finished our meal we went for a tour around the Hard Rock Café basement where we got to see lots of iconic memorabilia from the music industry. This was also very cool.

After we were finished at the Hard Rock Café we just went for a wonder around London and visited a few of the shops.

I also thought I would share with you guys my outfit for my birthday.

I wore my black floral bright printed dress which I really love and actually picked up in the sale. I paired this with my black Primark heeled boots which have lasted me over two years now and are still going strong even after them only costing £15. I also wore my brand new Vivienne Westwood bag which I got for my birthday and made everything feel that little bit more special. As well as this I wore my burgundy Alexander McQueen sunglasses which I also got for my birthday and where perfect for the very sunny weather.

I had a very lovely day and am very thankful for it. I hope you guys enjoyed reading about what I got up to.

Thank you
