My Year in Polaroids 2015

I find it hard to believe that it is the end of January already! This year is going waaaay too fast already.

I was planning to write this blog near the start of this year, but I completely forgot. But better now than never! For my 17th birthday, I decided to buy a polaroid, and throughout the year I took so many nice photos with it to keep forever. I thought that, because I enjoyed taking photos with it so much, I would share all my polaroid pictures of 2015!

So I definitely took loads of Polaroids that I hope to keep forever. I plan to take even more this year and make even more amazing memories!

New Year Intentions

I find it so hard to believe that it is 2016 already! I remember the start of 2015 as if it were only yesterday, and I cannot believe that it is over already.

I had an amazing year last year, going on holiday, experiencing loads of new things and spending time with all my favourite people. Last year, I made some new years resolutions, which I didn't stick to. But this year I am determined to make some changes. I was reading a friends blog a couple days ago and she said that instead of making 'resolutions' she was going to make 'intentions' as new year shouldn't be a time where you feel you need to make changes to yourself, but instead a time to improve yourself and your life to make it even better.

So I have made a list of new year Intentions that I hope I can stick to!

1. Pass my driving test
I turned 17 last March, but I didn't start driving lessons until September. This year, I hope to be able to pass my test, hopefully in time before I  start university. I really enjoy learning to drive and my driving instructor says I am almost ready to book my test!

2. Make more out of my day
For a good while. I have came home from school and had a nap and not woken back up until about 6 or 7. This year I want to steer away from that and spend my time doing more things I enjoy, like walking the dogs or reading. I waste so much time sleeping every day after school or work when I could be doing valuable things with my time.

3. Do more charity
Last year I donated my hair to the Little Princess Trust along with also raising £600 for the charity. I really enjoyed doing this and this year I want to fund raise for even more charities. To do this, I plan to maybe have a charity night, with a raffle and things so to raise lots of money for a couple charities.

4. Be healthier
A bit of a cliché type 'intention', but I really do want to be more healthy. I am ill A LOT of the time, and this year, I want to stop being ill so much. I want to start exercising in some way, whether it be a walk with the dogs more often, or starting up a class of some sort. I also want to eat better, not so much healthier, but better, because I have a very small appetite and need to stop with not eating a lot.

5. Blog more
I was really into blogging this time last year when I first started my blog. But then I sort of lost interest in it. I am determined, however, to get back into it, as I really enjoy blogging.

I also have smaller little intentions I want to do, like keep a diary and improve the condition of my hairs and nails. I am super excited to see what this year holds, with it being such a big year for me. Turning 18, leaving school and hopefully going to university. It is going to be a tough year, but I am so excited to see what this year has planned for me.

The Idea of Change

Hola señoritas!

I have a few things to note before I get onto properly writing this blog. One is I must sincerely apologise for not completing my mini happies. I had no time on the Friday to write a blog, and during that weekend I became ill so literally slept all the time. I hope to in the near future maybe do it again though, as I really enjoyed doing it. Second, I apologise for not blogging in so long. I have no excuse apart from that I feel I lost my 'mojo' for blogging. But I am determined to get back in to it now, seeing as it is almost Christmas, and have quite a few blogs I want to write during the festive period. Now, on to the actual blog!


During the last couple months, I have been thinking about a lot of things. And the topic of this blog is something I have been thinking about the most. The idea of change. Change happens every day, I know that, but it is subtle, and we do not always realise it. But I am really scared of change, especially with all the change in my life that will take place within the next 6-12 months.

As I am in 6th year at school, I am currently going through the process of applying for university. This is both an exciting and terrifying time for me, due to the nerves of whether I will be accepted or not. More importantly though, the change it will bring.

For the last 6 years, I have had pretty much the same schedule, and have enjoyed it. Going to school, seeing and hanging about with the same people, doing the same activities week in week out. But, school is almost over, and everything is going to be different. I won't see most of the people from school ever again, which is something that really upsets me. Everyone is going to move away to go to university or college, and I will lose touch with so many amazing people.

I am most scared about the change that will occur between my main friendship group. We spend so much time together just now, going to parties, chilling with each other and just enjoying being in each others company. But we all want to go on to do different things, at different places. The thought of not being able to see them every day is going to be so hard, and it makes me realise that I need to spend as much time with them as I can, and iv'e realised that I can't take them for granted.

I really like the quote 'the only thing constant in life is change' because this is so true. And although I am scared of change, I know I am going to have to embrace it sooner rather than later. This new change to my life will give me new opportunities and experiences, and it may even be for the better.

I am so happy I got that off my chest haha. I hope you enjoyed reading it and i'll see you all soon with another blog!

Mini Happies Day 4

Hola Senoritas!

I can't believe it is Thursday already! This week is going way too fast for my liking. Before I know it I will be back at school, which I don't want to happen. So here goes my mini happies for today!


1. I went to my gran's house again today and took the dogs with me. I had a nice cup of tea and a cake and sat for a while in the summer house. My gran and I spoke about loads and we even did some colouring in, which I love as it is so therapeutic.

2. I only live about 5 minutes from my gran's house, but today I really enjoyed the walk home. The weather was nice and chilly and I felt all cosy wrapped up in my cardigan and scarf. I even put on my winter boots today for the first time.

3. When I got home, I had a nap. I usually nap quite a lot but haven't had a chance to this week, so it was amazing being able to have one for a while this afternoon.

4. My mum and dad are going on holiday tomorrow, so my mum didn't want to cook any tea. So instead we all had a takeaway and I chose to have a chinese. I had chicken fried rice and prawn crackers which was sooo good. I am a really picky eater so chicken fried rice is literally the only thing I will order from the chinese, but I love it so much I could eat it again and again.

5. I gutted out my room tonight and it felt amazing to get it done. I spent a good hour tidying it, and had my music blaring whilst doing it. I finished it off by switching on my fairy lights and lighting some candles so my room looked extra cosy.


I didn't do much today to be honest, but I really enjoyed the little time I got out of the house and I am looking forward to the next few days to come as I have a lot planned. Hope you all had a good day and I will see you all tomorrow with day 5!

Mini Happies Day 3

Hola señoritas!


Today I felt quite lousy again, but managed to try cheer myself up later on in the day. I feel doing these mini happies helps find the good parts of a day, when in my head it isn't all going to plan. So here are my mini happies for Wednesday!

1. When getting ready this morning for work, I had a really nice and long shower. Normally in the morning I am pushed for time before I have to leave, but today I had loads of time so relaxed in the shower listening to music.

2. It was really sunny and the sky was clear this morning, so I was able to use the natural sunlight to do my make up this morning. I feel using artificial light to do my make up is horrible, as it looks completely different, so it was great that the sun decided to come out this morning.

3. Today was my good friend Michaela's 21st birthday and I am classing this as a mini happy because Michaela is one of the very few people who can cheer me up when I feel down and can make me laugh! love you lots Michaela and hope you had a good day!

4. Tonight, I was invited to a surprise birthday party for my friend Thirza. It turned out be a good night, with good company, lots of laugh and (okay) music. Happy birthday for tomorrow Thirza.

5. After the party, Danielle, Rachel and Morgan all came up back to mine. We sat in my room and had a nice chat and a lot of laughs. I love my friends so much and they always make me smile.

6. I painted my nails tonight a really pretty mint green colour. I love painting my nails and feel it adds to an outfit and cheers me up so much. It's also so relaxing to do which I love.

7.  Once I got all cosy in my pyjamas, I lay in bed for quite a while playing Spider Solitaire. It's my guilty pleasure!


I hope everyone had an amazing day whatever you got up to and i'll see you all tomorrow!

Happy birthday Michaela (tb to 2010)

Much love x

Mini Happies Day 2

Hola señoritas!


I must admit today was rather uneventful compared to yesterday, but there were still loads of mini happies throughout my day. So here goes my mini happies for Tuesday!


1. I woke up quite early this morning, so I went and brought the dogs into my room and watched Impractical Jokers with a cup of tea and cuddling in all cosy with the puppies. The colder mornings are coming now and I love nothing better than staying in bed later in the morning being all cosy.

2. My best friend Danielle is going to her dads tomorrow, and so I won't see her until next week. So today she came over for a couple of hours. We decided to take the dogs out for a walk and it was so nice. The weather was quite chilly, but was really nice. When we got back, we had a huge mug of hot chocolate and some lunch too and it was super cute.

3. I was working from 4-8 today, and I was dreading it, as I haaaate this shift. But today I really enjoyed it. I spent half of my shift on tills which was busy the whole time, and the other 2 tidying the shop by front facing everything, which is my all time favourite thing to do at work.

4. My mum treated me to a McDonald's for tea tonight and it was fab. I amen't a huge fan of McDonald's but tonight I was really craving one, and some fries, a double cheeseburger and a Mcflurry went down a treat.

5. I got home and put on some fluffy pyjamas and socks and got all cosy in my bed and started to watch Frozen. Frozen is one of my favourite Disney films and is a great way to end a really good day.


So today was a lot more laid back than yesterday, but I really enjoyed what I got up. Thank you for reading my mini happies for today and I will see y'all tomorrow!

Mini Happies Day 1

Hola Senoritas!

So today kick starts the week of my 'mini happies'. Today I have literally spent, at most, 2 hours in my own house, because I have been super busy today, but I have loved it. So here are my mini happies of what would usually be a dismal Monday.


1. I am currently on holiday from school, so didn't have to get up early for school. I was able to have a long lie and it was amazing.

2. Whilst getting ready this morning, I listened to loads of Disney music from all the films. You can't get much better than that!

3. Today I had a driving lessons and I finally went to Kirkcaldy. This is where my test will take place which is so scary. I had a really good lesson and came on leaps and bounds with my driving abilities, I even managed to successfully do a 3 point turn, unlike the week before anyway haha.

4. I decided to go to my Gran's for lunch and she had made a giant pot of soup. It was delicious. I usually go to my grans every lunch time during the school term and I love being able to see her every day to have a nice chat and catch up on what we have been doing.

5. A couple weeks ago, my good friend Michaela, had a baby. She had a gorgeous little girl called Isabel and today I finally got to meet her. She is sooo precious! It was really nice being able to catch up with Michaela as I haven't seen her in such a long time, and it was really good to get cuddles from baby Isabel too!

6. Tonight I decided to go to my friends Danielle. We don't do much when we are together, we just chill and listen to music, but I really enjoy it. I love being able to do this because it is so nice to be able to relax in the company of my fave. We also had a huge bowl of ice cream each and it was so good.

7. When I got home from Danielle's, my mum had a mug of hot chocolate waiting for me in my room. If that's not love then I don't know what is.


So it is fair to say that I had a very jam packed and busy day, but I loved it! Thankyou for reading my 'mini happies' today and I will be back tomorrow with day 2!

Much love x
