musings of a twenty-something bilingual
So I have now officially moved back home for summer after a tremendously stressful yet enjoyable second year. This year has tested me so much, but my faith is even stronger, new friendships have been made, and I'm happier than I've ever been. It's going to be a stressful summer with SO much to get… Continue reading life :: return
Beauty was always a side-line to my love of fashion until I undertook the role of Fashion & Beauty Editor of SCAN. It opened my eyes to talking about something just as, if not even more, artistic than fashion. Ever since I was little, I always loved doing my eyeshadow and that still continues to… Continue reading beauty :: graphic
I dreaded waking up today to the 10am release of second year results. It didn't help that I woke up 45 minutes early - I had to fill that time with something other than crippling anxiety. When 10am came, my first demonic thought came: "Why are you even bothering at university Anna"; the second, "You're… Continue reading life :: continue
It's quite hard sometimes to be a "milennial" (despite being born in the nineties) and a Christian. It's challenging. Although as a society, we're a lot more accepting, we're also a lot more defensive yet on the attack at the same time. So, adding Christianity to this battle already can make muddling through the early years… Continue reading love :: rainbow
I'm getting a little posting-obsessed over on Instagram, so thought I'd spill out my energy onto the webpage instead. Along with all the photos I'm dying to post. So now that I'm home for summer, I'm trying to keep myself occupied. I spent Monday-Wednesday mostly at home, except yesterday (Wednesday) I had a job interview.… Continue reading life :: home
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
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
