University: The End

I remember when I started uni, everyone said to me that it would flash by. I thought they were all just saying that. They weren't! The last year of my degree in particular really did fly by. 

A Little Update

Hello! I know, long time no blog post again. I guess I can be forgiven since I finish uni in 2 weeks time- oh my word 2 weeks... Anyway- I thought I would come on here and give you a quick update. 

Why I Set New Year's Resolutions and How to Stick to Yours

Hello 2019, it's lovely to see you! Although 2018 was a pretty fantastic year, I am so incredibly excited for what 2019 has in store.

Since it's a brand, spanking new year, I thought I would have a little chat with you all about new years resolutions. Some people love them, some people make them because they think they have to, and some just don't like the full stop.

Gratitude

Hi, Hello, yes I am still here!

Thank you for bearing with me over the past few months, I know everything has been super all over the place and very quiet on the blog. Life has been very busy, in every way possible, and I've been rolling with it. 

The Secret's Out...

For a while now, I have hinted to a couple of really exciting things going on in the background over on my Instagram. If you don't follow me, come say hi (@thats_just_emily)! This is one that has a huge impact on me, as I think it's a pretty big thing. So, I thought that now would be as good a time as any to spill all the beans and let you in on our little secret:

Term Time Wardrobe

Yep, it's almost that time again. Back to uni I go! I'm sure a fair few of you are in the same boat, or maybe you're a fresher going into your first year?! Ooo exciting. 

From Rome, With Love

I have to say, I think Rome is possibly one of my favourite cities. Clearly, there must be something special about the city if this is my third time going! I think that says a lot... 

That's So Frisco

Forgive me if none of this makes sense, I’m sat in the airport lounge having a g&t waiting for our flight home! 

La La Land

LA, the city of Angels or La La Land. All various names for this famous city. This was actually my second time visiting the city, as I have a childhood friend who moved there when we were little, and yet, I feel like I find yet more to see!

Desert Chillin'

 

We made it to the desert! The Palm Springs area is hugely popular and well known due to Coachella being just down the road. If you don't know what Coachella is, it's basically America's answer to Glastonbury.

Vegas, Baby!

So after almost an 11-hour flight, and 8 hours worth of jet-lag, we finally made it to Las Vagas. First thought? 'Oh my gosh how hot is it?!'

Life's a Lesson

One of the biggest life lessons I have learnt recently is the mere fact that life is a lesson. Life often throws difficult situations at you, or you encounter bumps in the road that throw you.

Let's Talk: Periods

Considering half the worlds population suffers with periods during their lifetime, I don't actually feel like it is discussed that much. My housemate Hannah asked me the other day (while we were both suffering with the joys of PMS) why I didn't chat more about it on here, so here we are! So this is going to be the first in a little mini-series all about period stuff: from what I suffer with PMS wise and how I deal with it, to the options that are out there for when you are on your time of the month. 

Dealing with Writers Block and Self Doubt

I do an English degree. I write, a lot. So writer's block isn't exactly a new thing to me, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't get frustrating. Recently, especially since having essays due for my degree: writing is connected with deadlines to me at the moment, and I don't want that.

How To Look Expensive on a Budget

Now I'm in my 20s I had a think about my wardrobe. The likelihood is that I'm not going to grow anymore and I felt that now would be a good time to have a bit of a sort out. 

I guess I spent the majority of my teens trying to figure out what my style is and experimenting. Now I'm 20, I feel like I have my style pretty nailed down and I am pretty happy with it!

My Favourite January Sale Finds

 

Now, I love a bargain. Seriously, ask anyone. Be it clothes, acessories (even holidays!) I love finding some fab pieces for a smaller price tag. So, since it is the season for sale shopping, I thought I would share some of my favourite finds, saving you trekking through the mass that is the sales! 

Here's to a new year

If you read my recent post, you'll know that for me 2018 is a bit of a significant year: I'm going to be turning 20 next week! The big 2 0. And in my head I still feel the same as when I did when I was 16, except, for some reason, people are giving me more responsibility and think I know what I'm doing. Heads up- I make it up as I go along! 

Emily 2.0

Less than 2 weeks. That is how long I have left of being 19, a teenager. I'll be a fully fledged 20-year-old with all the responsibilities and life lessons that come with hitting your twenties- a lot happens in your twenties!

Let's Talk Confidence

I often hear the term confidence is key and think a lot of people struggle to either understand it or struggle to gain it. So, with that in mind, I thought I'd have a little heart to heart to you all about self-love and having confidence in being yourself. As a young woman, I would be lying if I said that there weren't times that I wasn't confident in myself. 

The Importance of Checking

I was debating whether or not to write this post for a while, since it's a very personal topic for so many. But after a lot of thought, I decided that I should, especially since it's breast cancer awareness month.
