Seriously, where has March gone?! It certainly seems to have been the quickest month we've had so far. I've been so busy this month with Uni assignments my blog has had to take a back seat. Lucky for me I managed to get a load of posts scheduled at the beginning of the month so the posts have still been coming twice a week! I'm so happy I've stuck with my schedule for 3 months now!

Not a lot happened in March, I've hung out with friends and been getting organised for my final 2nd year assignments at uni. At the beginning of the month I had the most amazing day at Derby Day - the universitys annual sports day if you like. Every year we play arch rivals Essex in every sport and it's such a fun day. I played netball which was such an intense game but we came out with the win, then enjoyed the rest of the day in the sunshine drinking - so many good vibes!!

I'm now back home for 4 weeks for Easter, and as much as I'd like to focus on my blog, I have 4 essays to write along with working practically full time and socialising with my loved ones in between! I hate having to put blogging to the backburner but hopefully I can rustle together a few posts to keep the schedule going!! Not much is planned for April, apart from work work work in every sense!

What did you get up to this month? What have you got planned for April?

Monthly round up: January

January is always an odd month.  It's a new year, an opportunity for a fresh start and time to get stuck back into everything. I spent the first half of the month at home in Ipswich with my family. Half my time was spent doing both uni work and earning some money working in the bakery at Tesco, and the other half was spent spending time with my family and Jamie who had some time off work. As much as I love being able to come back home between uni and having some time to relax, I was really eager this year to get some work done and earn a bit of money to save up for a holiday, so working has been great.

Quick life catchup and I ask for a favour

First, I ask for a big favour from you guys. As you guys know on Monday I entered China Doll Boutiques competition and I've been shortlisted!! To win my whole outfit all I have to do is have the most likes on the Facebook photo. Please help me out and like my photo right HERE!! I really appreciate it!

I also thought I would take this post as an opportunity to update you guys with what's happening in my life right now, as I feel that's an important part of blogging! Most of you know my lack of posts at the moment is because of my great amount of schoolwork and revision I've been doing. My GCSE's are fast approaching and it's mad to think in just over 2 months I will be leaving school for good. This week has been particularly stressful having a French speaking exam to memorize, a piece of geography coursework that has a very tight deadline and a history piece too. I even went into school today and I've spent 7 hours on work! Although I am coping and I am determined to do well! I feel it's appropriate to add a nice quote here..

Next week I am going away on a School Residential which should be fun. We do different activities and revise a bit too, but I'm just excited to relive my France school trip in Year 9 where we stayed up all night and ate sugary, awful food. Unfortunately chocolate and crisps wont be involved in any midnight snacks as I am still going strong with Lent, I can't believe it's been nearly 5 weeks without any!
Finally, I have one or two exciting blogging things planned, a lovely American blogger has been in contact and we're talking about doing a beauty swap! I really feel like after my exams my blog is going to get so much better and open me up to even more fabulous opportunities.

Hope you guys are all doing well,
