Poland!!

So how is everyone doing? It's been a while but as I absolutely love posting, I thought I would show you whats been going over the past 6 weeks or so! There's been lots of partying, doing university work, fixing and sorting things, and POLAND!

Last week for 4 days I visited Poland with one of my good mates Ellie. We both had decided previously we wanted to visit Poland, as well as Eastern Europe, and last weekend was when we finally went. IT WAS AMAZING. Such an experience!

This sums up all of the experiences out there:

Cheap beer (£1.20 a pint), fun nights, 2 out of 3 drunk, Auschwitz, The Salt Mine, Bar Smak, our Hotel Swing, Cringy, tonnes of chruches, Sinagogues, amazing transport system! Free rides, private parties we werent invited to, sex shops, free spa, litre bottles of wine.... And many many more.


Here are some photos:

Chapel underground carved into the walls:

And that's pretty much it! There are more photos on my facebook but these give you the general idea of our time out there!

Let me know if you've been there or are thinking of visiting. :)

Im Back Guys!

Okay so I am so so sorry it's been so long since I've posted, but now I am back for good!


Here's a very brief run down on everything that's happened over the past 4 weeks or so.


Split up with boyfriend (as I explained in the previous post) and moved into a new house where there was a spare room. Started back at university and also bought a car. However the car insurnace was cancelled by my ex and so have been trying to sort out new insurance... But still not sure if I want to keep it or not. Then my little pink scooter got stolen so have been sorting that out too!


Things have settled down a bit now and so feel I am able to get back into the world of blogging once again :)


Hope everything is all good with you guys, let me know what you've been up to! Many more posts to come!


Love

Just wanted to say guys that I've just split up with my boyfriend and am now back at my mums house for now... Long story made short I didn't love him anymore and thought it was only fair that I ended it now rather than later and make the situation worse.

So while I'm looking for a permanent place to live please bear with the lack of posts, as soon as it's sorted I will carry on as usual :)

Thanks xx

Autumn Fashion for 2010

Today is the 15th of September and I was coming home yesterday from work and I couldn't help but notice how Autumny it felt. The leaves were dropping off the trees and it had just been raining so there was that distinct smell which always reminds me of Autumn. The bottom of my trousers got wet and I knew I should have taken my umbrella.


Then I thought, "Hang on, I'm not ready for Autumn yet!" It seemed to me like it was still too warm to be Autumn but then yesterday said different! So how do you make that transition from Summer to Autumn without feeling sweaty and hot or not warm enough??


Well, I was thinking along these sort of lines. Wear some nice boots and thin tights with a dress and cardigan? Or maybe skinny jeans with tops were you can add layers on if needed. I've looked around the internet and here are some of my ideas:

Dress, Knee-high Socks, Black flat boots, Bow Beret, Worker Boots, 70 Denier tights, Grab Bag, Knitted Cardigan, Box Owl Ring, Suede Necklace

I know there's more of certain things but I thought with this cute little dress you can mix and match the items for variety. Here are some more accessories I thought would be great for Autumn:

Bear Beanie, Croco Bag, Snood, Woven Scarf, Coral Ring, Buckle & Stud Boots, Floral Umbrella, Flower Corsage, Mini Hair Straighteners (only £10!), Hoop Charm Earrings.

With the accessories I've gone for a pale colour theme with peaches and browns, rather than dark colours as I feel everyone always goes for the darks when it starts to get cold but that's boring! I added the mini straighteners in there as more often than not my hair gives into the harsh cold and goes frizzy.

Let me know what you think about all this, I absoultely adore browsing through shops when it hits new season.

Moreishness #20

Okay so I have internet (only because I'm at my mums, babysitting dogs whilst she is in hospital this week) and I am missing blogging so very much so I've decided to do a Moreishness for this week! Since I've had limited internet access, I thought I would show you some quality links and things which I thought you would enjoy!

For those of you who don't know, I am now the proud owner of a car!! A little Daewoo Matiz 800cc (not much more than my scooter but hey ho):

It's 5 doors so I can give lifts to people and it goes more than 75mph! It looks so tiny in this picture... And it has been washed since this picture was taken.

So, Because my mind has been car-orientated for the past few days I have a host of car-related links and other stuff for you to take a look at!

Look forward to next week when I will have internet eternally :)


Check out these amazing car seat covers, and can you believe it - you can actually get in-car hair straighteners! And only £15.99.... I might actually buy these.

Oh yes, there is such a thing as driving etiquette.

Wanna pruce up your car? Make your car look cuter with eyelashes and eyeliner!

You can aslo get some amazing crystal studded accessories for you car, check them out here.

Moving House

Okay so I'm moving house again and so won't have the internet until after the 9th September. Please be patient as I will try and post in between this time but just not as frequently. Sooooorrrryyyy!

10 Things I Love About Being At Uni

Image thanks to nkzs

Unless you haven't started university yet this year, by now you will know what it's like to be at uni. There is so much to appreciate and you more than likely won't have this experience again so now is the time to make the most of things!

For those of you who haven't started yet, these are the things to be looking out for!

1. The parties. After spending a whole year at university you will realise that when you aren't doing assignments/working, you are out partying! There is literally a party most days of the week somewhere and so it is definitely worth taking advantage of as no doubt when you go home for the summer your social life will dampen.

2. Meeting new people. Starting university for the first time was scary and exciting at the same time. But then I realised, everyone else there was in the same boat. This made it really easy to meet new people and I have met some amazing people along the way. Don't pass up any chances where you might meet new people as maybe one day you might need them and it doesn't hurt to have more friends!

3. The chance of a better future afterwards. Although obviously we go to uni for the parties and drinking, once you've worked hard for your degree you have a much better chance of finding your dream job afterwards. That is why going to university is almost like an investment - for your future. It has been proven that unemployment is a lot higher for people who have no degree so don't squander your chance as there will be a job you are going to enjoy & get paid more for doing it at the end.

4. Learning something new. I found that whilst I was working before I started university I was getting good money, but I didn't feel challenged enough. Being at uni means that you will be learning lots of new things and will challenge your mind which can only be a good thing. You never know when you might use the things you are being taught (even if it is only in a pub quiz) so it is definitely worthwhile.

5. The discounts/free stuff. In the first week of uni last year I swear I had masses and masses of free vouchers and coupons shoved into my hand which I still haven't used. Being a student means you have less money and so we tend to get things for cheaper/at oap price or free which is amazing and I love it. Make the most of interest free overdrafts, cheap cinema tickets, free/discounted pizza, etc. and you will be well on your way to saving money.

6. The cheap drinks. Along with all the free stuff you get given as a student, definitely make the most of the cheap drinks during the week. Weekend prices tend to be double what you would pay as a student so get out there with your mates and get those budget beverages.

7. Being able to buy lots and lots of stationary. I always need an excuse for buying stationary as I am actually addicted to it. I just love having a clean diary and being organised, so being at university gave me the perfect excuse.

8. Field trips. This may not apply to all courses but definitely during mine (Geography) there was plenty of field trips including on to the seaside. Obviously it wasn't that fun as it was mid october and was freezing cold, wet and windy. But no doubt it gives you a chance to explore somewhere new whilst doing something you enjoy.

9. Pigging out when deadlines loom. Deadlines are the funnest part of university as it brings stress and stops you from going out. But I did enjoy being holed up at my computer desk sat with pizza, fizzy drinks and chocolate whilst I worked away - it was the perfect excuse. Even better, get your mates round and do work together. That way you get to have fun with your friends, pig out, and finish work!

10. All the spare time you could ever want. I think last year I spent around two and a half days at uni in autumn and 1 and a half days in spring. The spare time was great, it meant I could laze around all day if I wanted, without anyone caring. Just make sure you don't spend too much time being lazy as there is a reason why you have this time (for doing extra work/reading of course...).

Hope you enjoyed this, let me know what you favourite things are about university and why!
