Sun is shining, Weather is sweet ....

Hello beautiful!

           

I seriously cannot get enough of this weather. It may have only have been 20 degrees yesterday, but you could definitely feel that summer feeling. Queue 'Summertime' by Will Smith. Drums please!

Yesterday, I had such a great day with my boyfriend, Ryan, and decided to take a tour around Matlock bath - A small Derbyshire town with cliff sides, arcades and a lot of Fish & Chip shops. It was absolutely perfect - making me crave the summer more.

It made me think about my plans for the summer & how busy it's going to be. Reporting the Y Not festival, staying at Oxford with my beautiful Steph, going to Turkey for a family summer holiday and being a maid of honour for my Godmother's wedding. This summer is going to be fantastic.

And even though my summer is packed, I am still going to be blogging everyday (well, as much as I can!) - mixing up personal blogs with reviews.

I'm going to be writing some summer fashion articles next week so stay tuned!

The Big Reunion - My Biggest Challenge Yet ...

Why, Hello There!

Oh-em-gee, I have had the most stressful time at the moment! Right now, I should be revising for my Law exam ... But, I think you all deserve an update.

At this moment in time, I have finished my first year at uni (yay!) and now have to focus on lovely Politics and Law exams (not so yay).

HOWEVER, I have had the most amazing time last week when me and my two other got to meet the cast of 'The Big Reunion' - which included all of my favourite music when I was a child!

I have got to say, I was a complete nervous wreck before I met 911, Blue, Atomic Kitten, B*Witched and Liberty X but, lucky for me, they were the most loveliest people I have met

After interviewing each band, we all attended The Big Reunion show, and I absolutely loved it! dancing to all the songs of my childhood making me feel like a giggling 10-year-old again. Those were the days!

And Today, the article was FINALLY published! So, If you can go and buy a copy of The Nottingham Post and you will see a photo of me with Liberty X (I know right!) and the article, which I shall link here

I will be posting some more stuff on here tonight and throughout the weekend :)

How are my readers doing? Let me know!

The day I met a prince ...

Hello my Lovelies!

Friday, was one of those days that only happen once in a blue moon. In the city of Nottingham, his royal highness Prince Harry came to visit the town folk; in which he opened a charity and also visited Confetti who are also in partnership with our university to create Nottingham TV!

The Prince's cheeky grin

Our day started by waiting outside the Confetti studios from 11:45. At this point the crowd was quite small, meaning that we were able to get a brilliant shot of the Prince when he arrived. Soon, the crowds began to grow - and entertainment was introduced in the form of delicious cupcakes! yum!

My first sighting on Prince Harry

By the time 1:45 came along, the crowd had grown to over 500 people - and also included one owl and one white dog (so adorable). The crowd anticipated the presence of Harry, and with him already being 15 minutes late - excitement was becoming heightened. Out of the blue, a white Jaguar had turned onto the street and uproar was created through the crowd as we all seeked of a sight of prince Harry.

Unfortunately, he was swiftly moved inside for an hour to do things such as Djing, playing on a game which had his face on and creating a short film scene. This could all be seen on a big scene, which was open for the public. 

When he did eventually come out, the crowd once more went crazy as he began to shake hands with citizens. He was only a few metres away and I managed to talk some great photos of him.

The Prince with The Nottingham Post

I do love Prince Harry; all his work for the deprived families really hits the right message out to the public and reminds us all of the work that his mother - the late and great Princess Diana - did for the people of England. This day will forever be a favourite of mine - and I will hopefully be able to meet Prince William and Kate one day - one day ....

My developing life as a Journalist

Hello my beauties!

This past few months at university have been rather chaotic; one 2,000 word essay talking about council tax, developing my writing skills to be able to successful write decent articles and enjoying the social aspect by celebrating life with the four most amazing girls!

This month, my first article was published - and if you follow me on Facebook or Twiiter, you'll know how exstatic I have been. The article was about the guys who produced 'Feel the Love' Rudimental and I was successful enough to interview one of the band members Piers Agget. I absolutely loved interviewing him and he was exceptionally understandable when I began to stutter and get nervous.

Last Friday, I finally saw my article in full in The Nottingham Post which is Nottingham's local newspaper. Talk about a proud journalistic moment!

I then found out that my article was being used into today's East Midlands Metro, which is absolutely phenomenal as it won't just be hitting Nottingham, but my hometown Derby and Leicester.

I wouldn't change this lifestyle for the world as it has opened so much more opportunities than I ever imagined. And for that, I'm so grateful!

However, I am going to dedicate my weekend to reviewing more stuff for this blog and I am going to run a competition!

I feel like I've been slacking on the blog, and I think it's time we had some 'me time'

Hope you are all well, and have a lovely day!
