Diamonds And Rubies..

Hi guys :) So as the title may suggest, I'm going to be writing a post on my current favourite things. If you're more interested in the beauty side of things, be sure to check out my first ever YouTube video with this month's favourite beauty-related products.

However, if you are more interested in other favourites then please read on!

1) Instant noodles. And not just any noodles. oh no. It has to be the Sainsburys own brand Chicken noodles. Yummm. At 29p (I think?) a pack they're a bargain. Another bonus - they're suitable for vegetarians. This is beneficial to me as I've been a veggie for about 5 years now, maybe longer, however I can still enjoy these noodles and other such meat-flavoured products.

2) Reading, whether its books or magazines. I feel like recently I've gotten my reading mojo back, after having a dry spell of about a month or 2. Current favourites to read are: Glamour magazine (for some light-hearted reading which also covers some serious issues); any P.C Cast novel (I particularly like the Goddess Summoning series :)!) and also "Bright Young Things" by Anna Godbersen. I also loved reading "The Luxe" series by this author, set in the 1900's. In future I feel a blog dedicated to books may be on the cards.

3) Pepsi Max. For the past few months I've been drinking this stuff like water. I know it's insanely bad for you etc etc, but I can't help myself.

4) Boots meal deals. For those of you w ho don't know, Boots is a UK based pharmacy which sells anything from cosmetics and toiletries, to glasses and food. My typical Boots meal deal includes:
-An egg mayonnaise and cress sandwich on wholemeal bread.
-A Boots chocolate brownie (nom)
-Either Tropicana Multivitamin juice or an Innocent smoothie.

5) Speaking of Innocent, I've been loving their new fresh orange juice. I pick it up from Sainsbury's when its on 2 for £3 and its AMAZING. Its definitely on par with Tropicana.

Ok so that's it for the next while, I'll be posting some more in the meantime however. Thanks to anyone who read this :)

Its Been A While..

Its been nearly 2 years since I've posted on this so thought I'd give it a go. Not sure what exactly this blog will be about - probably a bit of everything really depending on my mood etc. Just now I'm in a bit of a rambling mood so here goes - apologies in advance if you read this and get bored :)

So currently I'm sitting in the flat doing nothing. The only motivation for getting out of bed has been food. I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle of doing nothing just now. Must get a job - and not just any job as I've recently discovered. The problem is finding a job I can stick with, without quitting after the first week.

I hate the interview process. No matter how much I tell myself to be confident, I'm always a nervous wreck when it comes to waiting in that little reception area, not daring to say a word until spoken to. My mind goes into a state of nothingness at this point, and I'm probably percieved as an idiot by the staff and interviewee however I'm really not. I just fail at interviews, put it that way. Going to spend the rest of the night (or at least some of it) applying for jobs and I'll see what the outcome is. Hopefully a positive one, I'm saving money to go travelling you see so unless I start getting a constant source of income that will only stay a dream instead of becoming reality. Think that's all for now :)

Creative mood much?

Today I've been thinking about things that I want to do/achieve before I get to the end of my last year at secondary school. I've come up with the following ideas, and cant wait to start achieving these goals!

Here they are:
1. Get a part-time job to earn some extra money & gain confidence.
2. Start to learn guitar, nows the time to do it.
3. Become a better cook in preparation for uni (hopefully!)
4. Start building up things to put on my personal statement, in order to get into uni.

& last but definitely not least:
5. Get into uni!

Cant wait to try all of the products out :)
