Lets catch up

Hello lovelies!
I'm sorry it's been a while since I've posted but I've been really busy! School work has been the priority and I also went to Krakow, Poland on a history trip.
It was amazing! The main reason that we went was to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau as our coursework is surrounding the holocaust. There was a mixed reaction to our visit. Some didn't feel any emotion whereas me and my friend Amy got a bit emotional. For me the heart-breaking part was seeing the Jews possessions which were on display. These ranged from glasses to suitcases and even prosthetic limbs. I did shed a tear or two. However the rest of the trip was brilliant. The city was beautiful and the company was hilarious! Here are some pictures from the trip and if you have any questions about it leave them in the comment section:









This trip has opened my eyes to history a lot more. It's concreted the idea that's it's not just in text books it was real life. It's also made me more enthusiastic to visit more historical places just to feel closer to the events and make me realise how much empathy we need to give to history.

I'll post more often, I promise!

30 things I want to do before I'm 30

Hi lovelies! I'm turning 18 soon and thought it would be a good idea to write this post and then come back to it when I turn 30 and see if I could tick all of the thing off of the list! Having a check list for me means that I'm more obligated to go ahead with my ideas rather than pushing them to the back of my mind and backing it of them. SO here we go! 30: Have a spontaneous holiday. Go to the airport and just get a plane. I think this would be so much fun! 29: Fall in love. I know very cheesy but if I haven't fallen in love by the time I'm 30 I may as well be Bridget Jones; become a spinster and be eaten by wild Alsatians. If you've seen the film you'd get that reference! 28: Be in a job I love! Listen up future me if you aren't in a job you love leave it now and get one you do! There's no point in working somewhere that doesn't motivate you to get up every morning. 27: Had the courage to start up Youtube again. I posted some videos last year...

Let's talk about sex!

Hello lovelies! I would like to start by saying thank you for the great response I've received about last weeks post! So many people have contacted me through social media and people in my year at school have said that it was helpful and relatable so thank you! Now as you can probably tell from the title this weeks post is going to be surrounding the subject of sex. Yep, sex. That dreaded word. For some people the topic is easily approachable and they have no problem with communicating their feelings about it. However some find it a taboo subject and it's difficult to convey what they want to say without being judged. This is what I want to talk about this week; to begin a discussion about sex and the pressures that it brings to young people. For me personally it's not the people I interact with sexually that pressure me, I feel pressure from social expectation. I got to the age of around 14/15 and people in my year at school started to experience it and I started to qu...
