January Blues!

Well it is coming to the end of January and what a relief! January has to be one of the most depressing months as everyone struggles for money and the winter chill sets in even more. Thus, everyone begins dreaming of summer and the holidays they want to take... In work at the moment we are being asked to think about the time off we want for this years holidays and I just do not have a clue...I keep being reminded that July and August will book up fast (which is true they have), however, I never really think about holidays for then as I am just too fair skinned and can only cope with certain amount of heat. The joys of being a red head!! 

However, the summer months are by favourite by far as I do not have to cover up some of the beautiful clothes I have with coats and jackets (unless it is raining which is the usual for England). I have many fond memories of holidays taken even if I don't cope well with heat and everyone always asks the same question "Have you been on holiday this year?" (usually once I have arrived back). Why yes, yes I have...I just don't tan!

Views like this on holidays are always amazing! I go away to explore and learn about different cultures! I know summer is not everyone's favourite season, but I know that it is for many!

So do not worry, January is almost gone and we are getting closer to the summer months!

What are your plans for the summer? ;)

Wishes and life wants!♥

This post is a little different to my usual... (please bare with me as it will seem abstract and won't make a lot of sense probably).

There are so many things I have been thinking about lately (to do with life). I keep planning for a future that isn't certain... I definitely believe that adult life is scary after being at university, I don't feel that I was ready for the world and just how difficult it would be to start a life. Of course I knew that I would be living at home for a while and a job wouldn't just fall in to my lap. But what I wasn't ready for...I never dreamt that I would be waiting and hoping to get started on finding a home and possibly getting engaged and married (no this isn't happening, just things I keep dreaming about). I just want to build a life with my boyfriend and I am so ready for that!

I constantly look in home stores for inspiration on how I would decorate my home (it doesn't help that I am in the middle of moving house and want to update my bedroom furniture). I keep seeing friends getting engaged or moving in together, and I'm sat here like...whattt I can't even get a full time job and they're getting a house.

I know that there are probably loads of people out there feeling the exact same things. I'm 22 and I still don't feel like an adult because I don't have my own home or what I call a real job.

Is adult life all its cracked up to be? I don't know but I am definitely excited to find out and have new adventures :)

My New Saviour!

Today's blog post is a bit different to normal as it is more towards lifestyle than fashion, beauty or travel!

For Christmas I received a few recipe books (I think people are getting me ready for when I eventually re-move out of my parents!)

So far my favourite has been Ramen, Udon and Beyond as I absolutely love trying the different dishes in Wagamamas. The recipes are actually really simple to follow and so quick to make!    AMAZING.

It is definitely a taste sensation! Now of course unless you live somewhere that you are able to find some of the ingredients...you can always try and get them from Amazon as this has also been suggested to me :)

I would definitely recommend this cookbook for quick, simple and relatively healthy meals :)
