A few weeks ago, one of my colleagues recommended an app called Free Prints, however it wasn't until it popped up on my Twitter feed that I thought I would try it out! I downloaded the app - which was free - and started scrolling through the tutorial.The app entitles you to 45 free prints per month, with a maximum of 500 per...

At the beginning of May my bf's sister got engaged. Don't get me wrong I do really like her and her fiancee is a sweetheart, but there was a small part of me that was really anxious. I'm not jealous at all, I'm super happy for them and can't wait for the big day to arrive, but I usually feel SO intimidated around...

Looking back, there are a lot of things I wish I knew at 16. Who knows how it would've impacted my life! I wonder if anyone else can relate to them too? 1. Friends will come and go, it's natural. Sadly, there's nothing that can really be said about this. It's natural for people to grow up and grow apart. When I was...

I've got to be honest, when it comes to advertising and the media, I'm an easy target. I get drawn in by pretty colours, offers and celebrities. I'm not proud of it, but hey, I'm only human! When I saw Cosmopolitan magazine staring at me from the supermarket shelves, I could hear it beckoning me to buy it.  The magazine comes with a free...

This week, we took some year 8s to the Tate Modern in London to see the exhibition of Henri Matisse's work. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Fall Out Boy, so when I...

Yesterday, my bf and I decided to visit Danson House in SE London. Neither of us had ever been there before and had no idea what to expect. Having visited castles and stately homes such as Hever Castle and Chartwell before, Danson House seemed a bit of a mystery to us. It was definitely smaller, but it was still beautiful and well worth...

This time last year, I hadn't heard of Crabtree & Evelyn. It was my bf's mum that introduced me to them. If you don't live near one of their shops, basically they sell body creams, shower gels, nail varnishes and hand creams. They can be quite expensive though!  Anyway, after ordering a Christmas present from them once, I had been automatically added to their...
