My Weekend In London.

**WARNING: Do not read if you're hungry, this post contains extreme food porn.**

Recently, I have been getting stupidly excited at the prospect of Uni in September. Up until, maybe, February I was extremely nervous to pack up and go to London.. Which was a little scary as for so long it's been something I've wanted to do. BUT something must have clicked in me and suddenly I cannot wait to get out there! 

Living in such a small town like I do, the thought of going to a big city can be so so overwhelming. I knew my mum had a meeting up here so I decided to go to London with her this weekend, stay with my sister and look at possible accommodation. Here are some pictures of my time and to give a glimpse on why I am so in love with London. 

Firstly, ever since my trip to LA I have been craving tacos and apparently Paddigton station has a taco place called Barburrito. I died of excitement and bought 3. 

(Attempting to eat the Tacos didn't go to well in all the excitement.) 

The next day I saw one of my old friends, Harry and we went for a walk around London and he showed me Greenwich and where he goes to uni. We then went to Pizza Express and had a wine fuelled lunch. (Could really get used to London living!)

Later on in the evening, my sister, mum and I went to Frankie and Benny's on Greenwich waterfront which was beaut and ate yet again MORE food. Below is the picture of the literally, nicest apple pie I have ever consumed. (Obviously after I pick out all the apple cause I don't like fruit, weeeeeird I know. Don't ask) 

The next day, we went to look at my future uni accommodation, and I might have taken pictures.. But I guess you'll all have to just wait until I've moved I'm for that! 

Hope you all enjoyed a bit of a different post today as I'm getting back into the swing of the things on here. 

Can you suggest anywhere in London? Taco places?! Questions? Thoughts? Let me know!

Summer Round Up.

Hello! So if you follow my blog you'd know that I haven't written anything in more or less a month.. And you might also know that my last post was a bit of a homage to my trip to LA. I know there's absolutely no excuse for the severe lack of posts this month but there has honestly been so. Much. Happening. Atleast I think..

UNIVERSITY.

One thing that stands out was that I had an unconditional uni offer from my first choice uni(!!!!!) 

It's at London Metropolitan studying Fashion Marketing and Journalism. Thing is with this, I only got the offer like, mid September because the uni hadn't received my grades (annoying) so I just assumed I hadn't made the cut. So to hear that news on an idle Tuesday whilst awaking from a nap was awesome.. But then I was left with the predicament of.. Can I pack my life up and get everything sorted in something silly like 4 days.. The answer was no. 

I know there's a few people who's probably reading this and air punching the screen, as uni has been something that I've always full heatedly wanted to do. But not receiving any offers made me decide to take a year out, do a part time college course and try again next year.. So that's what I've set my mind on this year.

THE COURSE.

So the course I'm taking now has, I'm pretty sure, the worlds longest title. Its so long that I legitimately don't remember it, but it's something like: Theatrical Hair and Media and Special Effects Make-up Artistry. Essentially meaning, I will be a trained MUA who can also do sick wounds and face paints and stuff I guessssss. As you probably know I've always loved make up and this course offers me the whole package, I mean, it's my last year of free education, so why not do something that is not only interesting but is an extra skill? (I will also be able to document all of the interesting stuff I get up to right here)

BESTIVAL.

Whilst I was in LA I really wanted to see if I could get myself to atleast one festival this year when I get home as a little pick me up and somehow I managed to blag myself 2 Hospitality tickets to Bestival in the Isle of Wight. They intitled me to a fair few perks and VIP access to the VIP bar, oooo interesting. 

The music and atmosphere is just my favourite thing ever and I got to meet some incredibly interesting people! Including *cough* Caspar Lee *cough* Joe Sugg and *coughcough* Professor Green (who I managed by the way to do a spectacular trip in front of before I realised that, we were in face neighbours and I would never get to live that down. Horrah. I'm probably going to end up doing a post about Bestival giving you a few more deets and pictures.*

NEW FOUND RECOGNISION FOR HOME.

Being away was absolutely amazing, I mean, obviously. But I feel it kinda made me realise how lovely it is being at home and having all your little home comforts and people (and amazing views I get here in Devon), so this was another factor in me deferring uni for a year.. Just so I can make the most of every nice little mundanity. Don't be in a rush to grow up and leave home, it's a pretty special time! 

THOUGHTS ON U2 HACKING INTO EVERYONES PHONE AND ADDING THEIR MUSIC INTO YOUR ON ITUNES.

I actually kinda like it. Welcome back Bono.

That's basically all that's new in my life, so hopefully you're all up to date so when I do my next post, we an just pick up from where we left off!

What about you guys, is any of you going to uni this year? Deferring a year? Let me know!
