Hitting Myself Hard!

Okay so the title makes me sound self abusive and apparently I am... just not physically. This week around campus I've notice more and more girls who seem really happy.. But are nowhere near my size. So I figured what better way to motivate myself to get off my backside and DO something than to spend £60 on the campus gym and £70 on a new pair of running shoes? Let's face it: no student is crazy enough to spend that kind of money without putting it to good use! I mean really that's £130 I could waste if I didn't use it!!!

Finally Fitting In!

So after a tough few days of feeling awkward and not really having many friends, I finally fitted in at university. I went to some talks and welcome meetings for my course and here I met some lovely people, especially Emily. :)

Welcome to the Vlogging World!

Okay so last night I found inspiration for my blog... A VLOG!!! Yes I know I'm 20 I'm supposed to know all about new media technologies etc etc, However I am a technical dunce!

So Vlogging, what is it? Basically it's a video blog. Rather than typing it up, you say it and film yourself and post the video....

Fitting into Campus Life...

So I moved to uni on sunday and my room looks all cool and homey! I have pictures up and posters on the wall etc but somehow none of it feels right. I don't feel homesick but it's hard to fit in. When I look out of my window I see all these other freshers with groups of people that they seem like they've known forever and I can't help but wonder why don't I have that?

my new home ...

Inspiration and All That Jazz!

So I was thinking today about the Run To The Beat half marathon and all the lovely women who completed it! I thought about how amazing they are for being able to do that, having the courage and discipline, all the training they went through in order to take part and how I currently could never do something so amazing... Or could I?

My Life in Boxes

It's exactly 8 days until I fly the nest and move to university. Most of my life is in boxes and suitcases and little things I keep thinking I must NOT forget! Photographs and frames, posters and other little things that make my room at home mine.... But packing is just so hard!!

All's Hair in Love and War!!

Have you ever felt like ripping your hair out because let's face it, it just won't go right?! Like many of us women (and lovely gents) my hair is my pride and joy and when it won't stay in a style or is just looking a bit dull then that is it-- I hate it! There have been tears and tantrums over the years and money frittered away on products left, right and centre!

Imedeen Me Up!

So I got back from my Grandma's house this morning to find a surprise package from @beachbumbeauty containing a 2 month supply of Imedeen Hair and Nail supplements. This is part of our Operation Fit and Fabulous, and a mission for Week 2....

Feeling Fabulous!

I've just had my hair cut and I feel AMAZING! Really. I've been growing my hair from a short bob that I had cut in (due to too much hair-dying) way back in April 2010 and it is now just past my shoulders and at a length I really love, so I thought I'd get a bit more of a style cut into it! Now I feel fabulous.

So you may have heard something about this on the wind.. Well, I'm going to fill you in.............
