2019: Happier, Healthier and Guilt Free

2019 The year to make a difference. Promises to myself: I am on a make-up ban: I will only buy what I need to replace. Other than that, I will use what I already have. Same goes with clothes actually. Make-up and clothes. Let's do that. Although I do get many of my clothes now from vintage stores and charity shops. I will not buy single use plastic bags: there are so many re-useable ones in my home/car that I need to remember to take them shopping!I actually hate myself a little tiny bit every time I have to pay for one. I will eat less meat: I am unlikely to go full veggie but I will cut my carbon footprint and reduce the amount of meat consumed. I actually like most veggie meals, but I found that I just ended up eating more cheese. And then getting chubby from all of the cheese. Mmm cheese.

How I Got Through My First Year at University

Every student has their own reason for going to university. At 26, I was certainly older than the rest and at first, I really felt it. My reason for choosing to study stems from a dwindling initial career choice. I was a travel agent for 6 years and worked on and off in the industry for a further 2 years, however, the wonderfulness of the internet was starting to take over and I just didn't enjoy my job any more. I felt that every sale was a battle and in the end, the customer was not getting the best deal and I wasn't earning enough money. On my days off of work, I tended to sit on my sofa with numerous cups of tea, watching the likes of Dr. Spencer Reid and the BAU (my favourite: Criminal Minds). I would rather watch Crimewatch than Corrie, a gory murder case file programme over Lorraine. So that was it, after being made redundant in 2013 and working bitty jobs, I made a life changing decision and applied to university. In March 2014, I received my acceptance letter and ...

Wanderlust Series #1 - Puerto Rico

Hello! This is the start of an exciting series in which I have named the Wanderlust Series, hoping to post once a month. I am kicking off with the beautiful country of Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, in which I was honoured to visit in June 2014 with the Puerto Rico Tourism Company and Air Europa . I had the chance to see the history, experience the natural wonder of the Bio Bay, see some of the extensive rainforest and visit many wonderful hotels all by travelling around the island in just 5 days! It was jam packed and I would obviously advise to spend a lot longer there but there really is so much to do on the fantastic little island.  Map from  mapscitys.tk Flying time from the UK - 9hrs direct / 14ish indirect Airlines - direct Norwegian Air / indirect - Air Europa Currency - US Dollars Best time to visit - I went in June and the weather was great, it wasn't cold but we have some cloud and rain in places. Lonely Planet have a comprehensive guide to weathe...
