Hello You Lovely Lot!

Whilst I was lying in bed the other night I suddenly realised that my blog is now two years old! I started this blog on new Years Day two years ago! I find it so hard ti believe that I've been writing this blog for two years. In some ways it feels like I've been writing it for my whole life but in some ways it feels like I started writing it yesterday.

I started writing this blog because I needed a creative outlet and I have found so much more than that! I love writing these posts even if I do sometimes find it hard. This year I really want to step up my blog and I'm not sure of the best ways to go about that (so if anyone has any suggestions then feel free to let me know). I want to post more, I want my posts to be better and I just want to still love writing blog posts by the end of this year and further hopefully!

The past few weeks I've been reading over old blog posts and it's crazy to see how I've changed. I think that's another positive to writing a blog. You can look back on all the posts and see all the things you've done. One of the best parts of 2016 for my blog (Was it 2016? Was it 2015? I have lost all track of time. Either way it's one of the highlights for my blog) was getting to review Louise Pentland's (SprinkleofGlitter in the blogging and youtubing world) book! Louise even read the reviews herself and put a link to my blog on her twitter which I could never get my head around. To be noticed by someone who you've read and watched for years is crazy!

So Happy Birthday to my blog! Here's to many more years of me writing about what I like and whinging a bit. Thank You to everyone who reads my blog whether it's been two years, two months, two days or two seconds. It's really encouraging to see people actually reading the things you write!

Feel free to follow me on Bloglovin', the link is just at the top of my blog and you'll be up to date with all my posts!

Thanks For Reading!

Hello You Lovely Lot!

So today I found out something super exciting! I am now part of the social media team for The Bloggers Hub!



 I saw a tweet a day or two ago asking if anyone was interested and I got in touch straight away because being part of something like this is something I'd love to do as a job or even just as a hobby for the rest of my life so this seems like the perfect place to start.

Of course, I can't do it all alone. We also have Sophie, Georgia, Abi, Rere and Joyce (and I think there could be a few more that have been added!) All of whom are girls who seem super lovely and girls who I'm so excited to have the pleasure of working with. I can't wait to follow their blogs and their lives and I hope they're excited to get to know me too!

The Bloggers Hub is a network created by the lovely Shanice that connects so many bloggers from all around the world and I am privileged to be a part of it. I'm so excited to find a load of new blogs and hopefully improve my own blog too.

You can find all of their social media :

Hello You Lovely Lot!

I do apologise about this being the second playlist post in a row but I wanted to get these out of the way so that next month I won't be behind!

This playlist is relatively short because I've been at work quite a lot so taking time to sit down and discover new music hasn't really been something I've had time to do.

I Did It All - I Did It All (Single) - Vince Myers

I actually heard this on a Harry Styles edit (not soz) and I fell in love with it. I don't even know why I just think it's so catchy! I have loved it for the whole month and have yet to be bored of it.

Favourite Lyric : 'I hope that you fall in love and it hurts so bad'

Girls Talk Boys - Ghostbusters Soundtrack - 5SOS

I LOVE this. It sounds so different to regular 5SOS stuff and I just fell in love with it the second I heard it. It's so catchy and I have yet to watch the video but I'm sure that's great too.

Favourite Lyric : 'I know we're young and people change and we may never feel the same'


Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of - All That You Can't Leave Behind - U2

I don't remember how I found this. I think I was looking for 'Sweetest Thing' maybe? I've loved this song for years and I had forgotten just how much I loved it. So I fell in love with it all over again this month!

Favourite Lyric : 'There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard'

Cruel - Cruel (Single) - Snakehips & ZAYN

Now, I'm not normally the biggest fan of Zayn's music. It's just not me. I'm not his biggest fan in general to be honest. However, I can't deny that this is catchy.

Favourite Lyric : 'Who do you love?'

She Falls Asleep, Part 2 - Wonderland - McFly

I saw a video of Tom playing this on piano whilst he was rehearsing for the McFly tour (WHICH I AM SO EXCITED FOR) and it reminded me how much I love this. It's easily my second favourite McFly song (because if you've been reading my blog for a while, you know what my first favourite is). I think this song is just so beautiful I'm in awe. When I see it live I'm going to cry like a baby.

Favourite Lyric : 'Lying very still, on the floor, by the door, but it's lucky she was hoping that you would come back for more'

We Don't Talk Anymore - Nine Track Mind - Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez

Can I just say, what a brilliant album name? I heard this when I was on my way to a pub to get something for work and the minute I got home I played it again and again and now I'm obsessed. I LOVE IT.

Favourite Lyric : 'I overdosed, should have known your love was a game'

Green - Straight Outta Oz - Todrick Hall & Perez Hilton

I LOVE this album. I might do a whole review on it. I think it's amazing but when I first listened to it I wasn't a fan of all of the songs. This was one of them. However, the more I listened to it through July the more I loved it and now it's one of my favourites!

Favourite Lyric : 'How much can you flaunt it? How much do you want it?'

SO, we're finally all caught up with the playlists. So now you know what I listened to in July!

Hello You Lovely Lot!

So. This is my 100th post! Just over a year after starting this blog on the 1st January 2015. When I started this blog it was just somewhere I thought I could write about things every now and then on. It still is that because I don't have a big following or a lot of people that read, although I do have a few who comment every now and then and it's always the same few which is so nice to see!

Writing this blog gave me the opportunity to review 'Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter' early which was so lovely to do and also made Louise see my blog and even tweet about it which was insane.

I love writing posts on here even if they're not always very good. I started thinking I was going to write all about makeup and whatever but now all I tend to do is write about music and stick a favourite in every month. That doesn't even bother me though because it's all stuff I love writing about!

I have ranted to you all, you know all about my music taste, my favourite bands (shoutout 1D), my favourite food, my friends and everything in-between. I never dreamed I would keep this blog up, I thought I would write a few posts and then give up completely. However, exactly the opposite has happened. I find myself trying to cut back on the amount I post because otherwise I might run out of ideas and give up. I loved doing Blogmas even though it got super hard towards the end. I might do one of those things that YouTubers do like VEDIM (Vlog Every Day In May) but obviously BEDIM (Blog Every Day In May).

So this is just a thank you. Thank You to Natalie for constantly giving me ideas (sorry I always steal them) and for inspiring me to start this blog in the first place and Thank You to everyone who reads this blog whether you've read only one or more.

Thanks For Reading!
