Hello, everyone! As you can see I have been nominated for my second award now which I can't deny makes me all giddy inside. It just reassures you that you are doing a great job and that others do actually enjoy reading your blog! So, thank you so much to Katie at Katie's World for nominating me, make sure you check her out and give her blog a follow. A girl with a chronic illness but never lets it get in her way of living life and I look forward to seeing her blog grow!

MY FIRST YEAR SUMMED UP

Hi, guys! So, so much for trying to blog more... It's been way over a month since my last post and I am terribly sorry for that. I hate using excuses, but my workload has been super time consuming this term. I have, however, just had my last exam of the year! I start my second year in September. So if I'm slacking in between those 3 months, then I don't know what my excuse would be! Just pure laziness to be honest...

STRUGGLES YOU'LL FACE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF BLOGGING

Hey, guys! Hope you've had a nice week so far. So I thought for today that I would give you a little insight on what it's like to really be a blogger! Before I started my blog I thought it would be really easy... well I was wrong! Turns out there is loads of competition out there, like LOADS. And it is really hard to try and make your blog stand out from the rest.

TESTING POUNDLAND MAKEUP

Happy Wednesday everyone, hope you've all had a lovely week! So I think we can all acknowledge the fact that I am a terrible blogger. I was living in denial, justifying myself by saying 'I only published 2 weeks ago.. it'll be okay..' To only have my friend go and tell me my last post was published over a month ago! I am very disappointed with myself. I really do love blogging and I'm not really sure why in the little free time I have I can't just sit down and write? I can only promise to try!

Now I know there are probably a thousand of girls that have done this before but can you ever really have enough reviews on Poundland make up?... I mean it doesn't work for everyone... Well, I brought the makeup for this post shockingly 5 months ago! I just never had the time to do the post exactly how I wanted it until now!

NEW YEAR GOALS

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and got everything you wanted. I myself had a lovely day spent with my family and my dad actually got me my very first car, which I am still super excited about! I am now a happy owner of a lovely blue Fiat Panda! I know it is almost February but I still thought it would be a cool idea to share with you some of my goals for this year. So every year I make silly New Year's resolutions that I NEVER stick to because I make them totally unrealistic. As if I am going to go 2 months without chocolate!! So this year I thought I would set myself some goals that I would like to try and achieve instead.

In the spirit of Christmas, I thought it would be a great idea to host my first giveaway! I haven't done one before but I heard that they are hugely popular, so I thought what the hey? I am excited to say I am giving away a Mac Lipstick! Do not be put off my the photo guys the lipstick is brand new still in the packaging. The lipstick colour is a deep tone beige, that Mac call 'Velvet Teddy'.

The last date of entry is the 17th of December. I will be contacting the winner on the 18th of December via. Twitter or email so make sure to check to see if you've won. Hopefully, it can get to the winner before Christmas so if you're not someone who likes wearing lipstick you can give it to someone else as a gift! It is open for international entries for anyone who is wondering and I will be covering the costs for delivery. Ways to enter are included below so good luck everyone!

SETTLING IN AT UNIVERSITY

Wow, it has been just over 2 months since I last published a post and I am SO sorry for that! I have been insanely busy over this time period with the weeks leading up to University and the first couple of weeks that I just haven't had the time to think of anything to write and I didn't want to just write a whole load of mumbo jumbo! Although this is probably what this post will consist of... I promise it'll get better though!
