Blimey is June done already? Not gonna lie it’s been a complete whirlwind month. Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (or have been avoiding my Twitter/Instagram feeds!) then you’ll know I’ve been off travelling solo at the beginning of the month to New York! I can quite honestly say it was the one of the coolest things I’ve ever done and I ticked so many things off my life-long bucket list. I’ve started up a little series about my trip on the blog – done two posts already with a few more to go! – so if you fancy reliving the experience with me be sure to keep an eye out in the next few weeks for more.
Aside from this whole travelling thing I also finished my entire University degree and am now in semi-graduate limbo until the official cap-n-gown ceremony mid-July. It’s crazy to think that’s me done for formal education, potentially for life too, but I’m excited to see what’s ahead. For now I’m working a temp role and getting back on this blogging thing properly when I get a minute. My brain’s been buzzing with ideas about new layout designs, platform switches, streamlining content, ad/pr plans and even url changes here and I had the itch for a big overhaul all the way through my third year at Uni.
So I guess it’s all change and delving into the deep end of uncertainty. I’m trying to convince my inner control freak/worrier that this is exciting, maybe you guys can give me a hand too :P

Becca’s brilliant post on
University and whether it’s right for you. Definitely a must read for all of you going through A-Levels and even those who are feeling a little lost after finishing their first year at Uni too!

Two of my favourite Youtubers, Sanne and Estee, collaborated and listed off their favourite ‘
Easy Reads‘. I can definitely back them up with recommending Never Let Me Go, We Were Liars, TFIOS (duh), Paper Towns and The Virgin Suicides, as fantastic books to get into this Summer!
