Twenty Things I'd Like To Do In My Twenties



I'm sure I'm not the only one saying this, but how is it already 2018; last year certainly went in the blink of an eye. And with a new year comes new year resolutions. I'm not usually one for new years resolutions; I made them one year, yet there's something about trying to squeeze in so many goals in a relatively short space of time that just doesn't appeal to me.

So instead I'm here with a list of goals that I'd like to achieve within my twenties, some easier than others! Being 23, I've got plenty of time left to achieve each and every goal I set in place; some are one-time events that I'd like to happen at some point or another, whilst others will be spread out over the entire seven years, something that I'll need to put the effort into, so that I can make a positive change. I want to vastly improve my life over my twenties, becoming healthier, happier and more independent in the process and I personally like this way of going about it; there's no rushing around trying to get something done before these 365 days are over - and trust me, they'll be over before we know it! 

Grab a drink, this is a long one!

London | Being A Tourist In My Own Country


Just last week I popped down to London for the incredible #GoGlamGala event (my blog post on that can be viewed here). And whilst I was very excited to go to this event with so many talented bloggers and YouTubers alike, as someone who hadn't visited the capital in 9 years, I was also super excited to run around London doing the typically touristy things!

Although I would've loved to stay a little while longer, I did manage to get the few of the major tourist spots done within the two days that we were there. But this recent trip has made me realise how much I not only want to head back to London, but how much I need to start travelling around my own country. There are so many incredible sights and I'm missing out on them!

Dream Places To Spend Christmas

One of the best things about Christmas for myself personally is to be able to spend an increased amount of time with family and friends. For me Christmas should always be spent at home - I don't feel as though it would feel quite the same or as festive elsewhere in the world, but with Christmas being a mere two days away, it got me questioning, if I could spend Christmas (or a portion of the lead up/New Year's) absolutely anywhere in the world, where would it be?


Now my two options are probably hardly surprising. As an extreme Disney fan, being able to spend at least a portion of the festive season in the Most Magical Place on Earth aka. Disney World would be a dream come true for me. The decorations that they place around each of the parks and resorts makes the already beautiful resort even prettier. And the additional Christmas shows and events that they have going on in the lead up to Christmas, including Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Epcot's Holidays Around the World give me additional reasons to go and spend time in Disney doing things I've yet been able to do.


My second option, also a very common option, would be New York. Having only been to New York during May, I've been fortunate enough to experience the city in the heat of the summer (well, Spring...we were there during a heatwave)! And whilst I'm not a huge fan of the colder weather, there seems to be something incredibly magical about spending some part of December in New York. For me, I would love to be in the bustling city for New Years; watching the Ball Drop at Times Square, whilst the Christmas decorations are still out in full swing! However, the extremely large crowds might end up putting me off a little!

Where do you dream of spending your most magical Christmas?

Lots of Love

And Just Like That, Autumn Was Over | Instagram Roundup


Well there we go, another Autumn is over, and we've now made it into the most festive period of the year - should I be happy about that, or sad that this year has just gone insanely fast? 

Regardless, I've had quite an enjoyable and different Autumn to any other that I've experienced before, and just like I always seem to do now, large parts of my life are now documented through my Instagram account! I had a little flick through my page and it was clear to see a few standout events for me throughout this season; ones that saw me acting like a right ol' child and others that show just how much I've had to grow up in recent months. Quite contradictory really.

Disney World 2016 in a Nutshell


As some of you may be aware if you follow me on any of my social media accounts, or if you're up to date with my new YouTube videos, I recently went to Walt Disney World in Florida for an incredible two week holiday! 

Although I'm fortunate to have been to the most magical place on earth a fair few times prior, this trip was a completely different experience, and I think it's safe to say that I had the time of my life! Firstly, this was my first big holiday without my parents; instead going with my sister and a bunch of our closest friends...basically we had the freedom to do whatever the hell we wanted! Whilst I had also previously vlogged my holiday last year, this was also the first time that I'd ever vlogged within Disney and let me tell you...I got a lot of footage! So much so that I have 5 vlogs up on my YouTube channel, and I'm only on the second day!!

Walt Disney World Wishlist


You may or may not know, but towards the very end of this summer, I'll be jetting off to the fabulous Walt Disney World for two weeks. Being in the happiest place on earth, it's obvious that I will want to buy plenty of things to remember my amazing holiday and I've already started thinking of exactly what I will want to buy. Although there will probably be many other things that I'll pick up whilst I'm there, (let's be honest, there will be), some particular items have really stood out to me after watching far too many Disney World hauls that I feel I definitely need in my life!

Travel | The USA | West Coast

A couple of weeks ago you may have seen a post on my channel all about the places I've travelled to on the east coast of the USA (check it out here). Now I've decided to tell you all about my travels on the west coast of the country. It's been almost 3 years since I went to the west coast but it was such a significant trip for me and made me realise my love for travel, particularly within the US. This may be quite a long post as I've visited many amazing places, but I hope you enjoy and feel free to skip to any sections you may enjoy more!

Top 10 Places I'd Love To Visit!

So today's post is a little different from my usual beauty or fashion posts, it's the top 10 places that I would love to travel to...maybe this post should be called a Travelling Wishlist? Now, I absolutely LOVE travelling (except for the flying part). I've been fortunate to go to a few countries within Europe and some states in the US and after my holiday in the US two years ago, it really got me thinking about other places I'd love to travel to. So I decided to choose the top 10 places and share them with everyone.


Also just so you know, these aren't necessarily places you'd expect the typical 19-year-old to want to travel to (I don't really care for party holidays) and also I'm sure some you may have never heard of a few of these!! Maybe this could give you some ideas if your planning a holiday soon and want to go somewhere new...so just carry on reading!
