Bucketlist...

Hello friends,

I'm back again for another post adding to my bucketlist. A little update for it, me and my friends are planning a trip abroad - we have no idea where we're going yet or when, but it's definitely happening. I'm so excited for it.

Anyway, to the bucketlist!



This is one thing I have always been interested in since I was a little girl. I always remember being intrigued as to what it was and things like that. It's such a pretty thing to look at, and recently I keep seeing loads of photos of it on tumblr. I can just imagine going there and it feeling so magical.


This has been at the top of my 'want to do' list for such a long time. I have so many friends that have done it and I envy them. I love elephants, and riding one would be such an amazing thing to do! 


I know this is very repetitive, but this is also something I've always wanted to do. Pretty much since I saw Finding Nemo with the coral, that's when the want to do this started. I love all the colours, and I want to go scuba diving along the great barrier reef before it all gets bleached. 

That's all for this week's bucketlist! Hope you enjoyed reading!

Until next week...

Bucketlist...

Hello friends,

So a little update, I'm back at uni and I am loving it. Over Christmas I was a little worried, I had got back into the routine back at home and I thought that coming back here would be a little weird. It was at all, I moved back and all is good - it went back to what it was like last semester immediately. I have such great people around me, which reflects onto me. I love it.

Now, my bucketlist... let's get started.


This is one that I had on my bucketlist from when I did it before, but I never actually got around to doing it. However, now I'm at uni I have more control over this - I have a lot of time on my hands, and I have choice over my meals. Before I wouldn't eat any veg and hardly any fruit, it was basically just a lot of crap, but here I have a lot of people around me that eat healthily and stay fit. I've started having group meals with these people, which means all the goodness they need and put in there get to me too. I ate spinach the other day... SPINACH!? I'm more motivated this term too - I make sure I get up early enough to fit in a 15 minute work out before having a shower, if not longer. I'm going in the right direction, and it's already been a week. Just another 2 weeks and then it should become habit according to science!? 


See the Tangled reference I made there!? One of my favourite Disney films, which inspired me to see the 'floating lights', or lanterns as a lot of people call them. The scene in Tangled where Rapunzel and Eugene are watching the lanterns makes me so happy, and it's made me want to go to one of those lantern festivals. Why can't I be the lost princess and they let off the lanterns on my birthday every year!? Sad times...


This one has already been started. Me and my friends have decided that every Sunday (considering that none of us are working) we're going to go on an adventure. One of us has her car, so we'll just get in and drive somewhere. Last week we went on one up to the other side of Winchester up this really big hill (which almost killed me, who puts steps on a hill!?). Just look at how unbelievably pretty it is.


That's all for today my friends! Hope you enjoyed reading! Leave a comment if you have anything cool on your bucketlist!

Until next time...

Wishlist Wednesday: Shoes...

Hello friends,

So I've already started a post series for Mondays talking about my bucketlist, and on Wednesdays I'm going to be doing a Wishlist. These will be a mixture if different things - clothes, perfumes, films I want to see etc. 

I hope you guys reading as much as I love writing them!




So those were my top picks - a lot of them I have had my eye on for ages (such as the Dr. Martens and the converse chuck taylors). One day I will be able to afford all the shoes I want, and I may even be able to afford a room for them to all go into.. when I'm rich and famous? Right?!

Until next time...

Furry Friends Tag

Hello friends!

I've decided that every time I post a video on youtube, which will hopefully be every week, I'm going to post it on here too so you guys can see it as well!

This should have been posted last Friday, but I have only just decided I'm going to post it on my blog as well.... ah well! 

I got the idea from NikinSammy, and the link to their video is in the description box! I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed filming it.

Here's my Furry Friends Tag!




Bucketlist...

Hello friends!

This blogging malarky seems to be going well so far... it has only been a week though. Give it time.... I'm just kidding. The start of this year I've felt so much more motivated than I ever have done. I had a mind-blowing conversation with a friend after watching a video and it made me realise how short life actually is, so I need to make sure to stop worrying about the little things that aren't worth worrying about when I have such a short amount of time to enjoy. You can watch the video here (prepare for your mind to be blown....)

Anyway, in light of my whole mindset changing, I've decided to restart my 'bucketlist' posts. I did these a couple of years ago, and I think it would be nice to have them all in one place, and somewhere to write about them once I have completed them. Plus, I only did two posts about it... Let's go. 


Now I'm at uni and I have an amazing group of friends, this seems a lot more realistic. They're all up for exactly the same thing as me, and it would be such an amazing experience to do it together. My plan is to work my butt off for a year after uni, take another year to travel and do all the amazing things available to me, before finally settling down and getting a job to do with my degree. The thought of going all over the world excites me, and every time I talk about it I have a massive smile on my face. So determined to do it.


Something that I've always wanted to do is something like bungee jumping, skydiving or cliff diving, but I've never had the opportunity to do it. I feel like it would be the perfect way to raise money for charity or something like that. I would be totally up for that. 


Henna tattoos are a new obsession of mine. I often find myself googling images of henna tattoos... do you blame me!? They're so pretty! I really want to get one like the one in the image. Some of the patterns there are are absolutely incredible. My friend says she knows a load of people that can do it, hopefully she will take me! 

That's it for today. So glad I'm bringing this back. It allows me to keep track of my goals, and as I am a lot more motivated recently I will be able to record when I've completed them and check them off of the list.

Until next time...

Challenge for 2015...

Hello friends!

So, I've just got Pinterest. If anyone would like to tell me how to use it, feel free, because I have no idea at all. I'm just scrolling on through, pinning things to boards, not having a clue what's going on. I think I'm doing it right...

Anyway, on my scrolling travels, I came across this.




If you follow me on twitter, you may have seen that I have had a recent obsession with reading. It started around Christmas, and at the moment I am reading the Divergent triology. Classic teen book, but it's the kind of thing I love, so I'm enjoying it. 

But I saw this, and thought it was a perfect challenge for me to complete this year. I have a number of titles in mind for a lot of the points on this list - "The Fault in our Stars" for a 'book that made you cry'. I've read it 4 times before, once more won't hurt - I just really enjoy John Green's writing. 

Anyway, I thought I would post this on here for you guys to have a look at, and maybe try it for yourself. Nothing wrong with a bit of reading... I recommend listening to the Interstellar soundtrack while reading, it is one of the most relaxing things I've done in such a long time. All I really needed was to be on a sun lounger by the side of a pool in a really hot country to make it extra perfect. 

Anyway,

until next time...

Guess Who's Back...

Hello Friends!

Well grease me up and call me slider, look who's back!? It's been about 7 months since I last wrote a post, which is way too long on my opinion.

I made the decision, for my New Years resolution that I would 're-launch' my blog and youtube channel. Seeing as I haven't written a blogpost in 7 months, you would not have heard about my youtube channel. After attending Summer in the City in 2013 for the first time, and knowing I was going to the event in 2014, I was prompted to make a channel and post my own videos. So 5 months ago, about a month before Summer in the City 2014, I posted my first video. From then I have only posted a few videos, but because I enjoy it so much I have decided to start doing it again as my New Years Resolution. I never usually come up with resolutions because I know that I won't stick to them as it usually involves doing something I don't enjoy (for example, 'do exercise' or 'stop eating chocolate'). However, blogging and youtube are both things I did enjoy when I was doing them, so why not try it again!? 

So, Tish, what's your first post of 2015 about? Why not write about everything you've done in 2014!? 


JANUARY


So in January, I got my first car. I got a little silver Peugeot 206 that I named Patrice. I didn't have a picture of him anywhere, so here's a picture of a learner plate - you get the idea. Can't believe I've nearly had the car a year! He's still running, just about...

FEBRUARY

By the looks of things, on all social media that I have (facebook, instagram etc) I did nothing of interest in February. All I was really doing was learning to drive and revising for my A-Level exams. I suppose that's something to note?

MARCH


March was a little bit more busy than February! I passed my driving test (!?!?), and I went to two concerts 13 days apart - Fall Out Boy and The Wanted. They were both in Cardiff, and for Fall Out Boy me and my sister queued from nine in the morning and ended up being front row. It was one of the best things I have ever experienced in my life - they are amazing live. On the other end of the music scale was The Wanted, and it was their last ever tour before they split - it was a tad bit emotional. In between the two concerts I turned 18 - finally an adult. To celebrate, I got my cartilage pieced... wild one, I am!

APRIL


April was a cool month for me. After seeing The Wanted in March, I fell in love with both Elyar Fox and The Vamps as they were the support acts for The Wanted. They were both in Reading (which is about 20 minutes on a train away from my hometown) about 4 days apart, both doing signings. Well, I say The Vamps were... 2/4 of them were. Half isn't bad! I went to both of the signings and had a whale of a time. Shame we weren't allowed selfies with Brad and Con! 

MAY


So May was the month of McBusted - the BEST concert I've been to in my life, and as you can tell by this post I have been to a far few. My last post was about this, you can read it here. In summary, we got tickets into the 'OMFG zone' (£150 tickets) which put us right at the front of the stage. Yup. It was pretty cool. I also started my A-Level exams... fun!

JUNE


The only cool thing I had during June was my Year 13 prom. It was such a nice way to end all of the A-Level exams and to say goodbye to my friends before we all went off to uni/work.

JULY


In July we went on holiday down to Selsey - sounds boring, but it was so relaxing. I went with my mum, nan and brother and stayed in a caravan - it was so basic but so fun. I also discovered a lot of self confidence as well. Before then, I hadn't bought a swimsuit for years but I spent pretty much all day on the beach in just a swimming costume, and when we went anywhere I would go in a dress with bare legs. It was nice to feel that confident with how I looked. I also didn't wear make-up until the evening. That was new!

AUGUST


August was the time for Summer in the City, which I mentioned sparked my interest for starting a youtube channel in 2013. I met so many amazing youtubers, and due to attented Creator Day (a day for creators, not fans) I managed to talk to some of my favourites and attend panels on how to youtube, basically! Here are just a few of the many selfies I took over the weekend - Caspar and Joe, Dan and Phil, Tyler Oakley, Jack and Dean, Jim Chapman, and Marcus and Alfie. The best weekend of my life. By far. 

Also in August, I got my results from my exams. I managed to get into my top choice university - Winchester - to study Film Production. I remember being so excited back then!

SEPTEMBER


In September I moved to uni. It was the most terrifying week of my life - going to this new city where there was literally no one I knew. For the first week I absolutely hated it, but now I love it. As soon as I made a couple of friends, they introduced me to other people and now I have a group of friends that I completely adore. So glad I went. Also in September, I met The Janoskians. After being a fan of them for so long, and them living in Australia and America, I thought my chances of meeting them were pretty damn slim. But it happened, and although the meet and greet was an absolute shambles, I'm so glad I met them.

OCTOBER


As I mentioned earlier, all the way back in April, I fell in love with The Vamps after I saw them in March. I decided to buy tickets to their tour, and ended up being about 10 rows back. They are so amazing live, and I'm so glad I went. I also managed to meet all of their support act - E of E - afterwards too. As you can probably already tell, I'm a bit of a 'concert-goer'.

NOVEMBER


November was a pretty chill month. I was doing stuff I absolutely love at uni, being with friends, making films, have the odd party from time to time. The photo on the right was when we went to The Hunger Games Triple Bill in Southampton. It was the first time I had ever seen any of The Hunger Games films, and I was absolutely blown away. I'm glad I watched them in order, I would recommend them to anyone who hasn't seen them.

DECEMBER


December was spent with people I adore. I spent the last week of uni with my closest friends, drinking a little bit too much alcohol and having a good time. And then when I came home for Christmas I was reunited with my family and best of all, my cats. I had such a nice Christmas, it was such a relaxing, 'do-nothing' day. And to top the year off, on the 31st December I got a new little baby cousin. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

So, that was my year. A nice long post to return with. It feels so nice to be back - like I said I absolutely love doing this and I cannot wait to get back into the routine of blogging weekly. 

Until next time....
