musings of a twenty-something bilingual
Hey all, hope you're enjoying your summer - and I hope you enjoy this verging on deep and soppy and emotional post. In all honesty, the following are just snippets of bigger things to be said but I want to cover them here anyway. FAMILY "You Go Girl" has been a phrase that has always… Continue reading life :: you go girl
While I'm "working on posts" (i.e my brain won't configure to write something coherent), I thought I'd put together a little post. As I'm sure many of you are aware, Pinterest is perhaps the best source of inspiration. Particularly motivational quotes. I get that obsessed reading words of truth that I both pin them and… Continue reading life :: mass
I don't think I could be more excited for my second year of university. For me, with a fresh sense of purpose and more clarity, I am going to go back looking at the year expectantly. As it is for most, first year is like a constant rollercoaster. There are many ups, but the downs… Continue reading life :: second homecoming
I am always lacking in purely beauty posts, and as much as I enjoy makeup, it's not the same for me as it is with clothes. However, as I am on holiday, and I have time to kill while my family are dozing, I thought I'd put one together. FACE For topical usage, Forever's Aloe… Continue reading beauty :: summer loves
After reading "Can we talk about...Gucci", I feel as if I have connected with Claudia Winkleman on a level I never would have expected. I want to be that "44 year old..." who writes like that about a designer brand. Maybe it's merely the wannabe journalist, the over-analytical, ex-English Language student in me, but ahhhhh. I… Continue reading fashion :: dazzled in effort
PART 1 28/06/16 It is now Thursday and I felt it time to reflect on our days so far. Tenerife is so much more than I ever expected. Yes, so it's just one of those islands commonly inhabited by Englishman during the summer months, but it's also tropical, platano-infested and mountainous. Maybe I am just… Continue reading summer :: big blue
Within what you can deem as "holiday planning" is our annual meal out. It has almost, if not definitely, become a pre-holiday ritual. As we always venture off around the date of my Gran's birthday, it's both a birthday celebration and a farewell (for 2 weeks). This year we chose the King Bill, a local… Continue reading summer :: holiday prep
Last night we were invited, as a family, to the wedding reception of our neighbour's daughter. It was so beautiful, and I was totally in awe of the decor. Love, love, love. It was so lovely to have a special outing to go to with my family. With having been at university, it's great to… Continue reading fashion :: fuchsia
Hello all! Despite what has suddenly become dreary weather, I took a little trip into Manchester today. I didn't take as many photos as I may usually take but here's a couple regardless... From Victoria I headed off for some lunch and then up into NQ. For once I didn't go in a single shop… Continue reading life :: MCR
If you live anywhere near me, you may have heard of The Pack Horse, in Affetside. I absolutely adore this place. Everything about it is just spot on, and also, they do amazing cocktails. Just saying. Yesterday afternoon my mum text me "Shall we go out for tea?" And let's face it, it would be… Continue reading food :: pack horse
