I took quite a long break from Instagram recently for several reasons. I was too stressed out about what I was posting, and also I felt like it was so much added pressure to post regular content that was worthy. However, I have returned with occasional posts, and have been loving feeds from so many people, so I thought I would share my five favourite accounts recently.
The other week I was walking through Home Bargains when I spotted a new make up stand, where all make up products were on a trial price of 99p. I quickly glanced and fell in love with the eyeshadow in Toasted Mauve, so decided to pick it up, as well as the primer that they had stocked.
When I swatched the product, I loved the creamy consistency of it, and the colour pay off and pigmentation was amazing. I was so amazed, and really couldn't imagine it getting any better until I went to wash it off.

For my 21st birthday earlier this year, I was given tickets to watch Annie the Musical on the West End. I have always been a really big fan of Miranda Hart and the musical itself, so ever since counted down the days until I went, and was so excited.
Before the show started, audio which sounded like radio shows from the time period filled the Piccadilly Theatre, helping to get the audience into the frame of mind for a show set in 1933. I was slightly disappointed that the overture wasn't played at all, as it is one of my favourite pieces of music.

One of the most stressful parts about uni is the workload, particularly at the end of the semester. The twelve weeks of contact hours are slowly running out, and at the end looms what seems like hundreds of deadlines, and weeks of stress. And if you are overly dramatic like me, every time deadlines and exams are approaching, I always begin to ask myself "why am I in uni?" or "I've done a year, can I drop out now?". A discussion that comes up quite regularly when I am in uni is the workload of the different courses and which has the most work to do. Honestly, this normally happens when people on different courses start arguing over who has the most work to do, although I'm not quite sure why you would want to be on the winning side of that argument! So I can only talk about my degree, and being stressed out me, I'm going to do it the best way I know how... with some Gilmore Girls gifs!
Throughout the end of March until today (when I finally finish second year), I have been super busy and have been distant from the blogging world a little. However, as breaks in my revision, I have been reading some posts to escape from the excitement that is journalism law. So I have compiled a shorter list than usual, but here are some blog posts I loved reading this month!
UNICORN CHEESECAKE BY THE LITTLE BLOG OF VEGAN
If you haven't seen this post by Holly, definitely go and have a look. It is the most magical cheesecake I have ever seen in my life, and as soon as I saw the snapchats whilst she was making it, I was so excited to see the final product and it definitely didn't disappoint! And because I don't eat dairy, it made me so happy to see this recipe.
Moving to uni was, and I'm sure is to everyone, a really nerve wrecking time for me. I was so anxious about meeting new people, but so excited at the same time. But I can hands down say I've met some pretty amazing people since living in Bristol. And people I can be 100% myself around (let's put it this way - many High School Musical performances have happened). In halls, I was pretty close with two of my flat mates, and spent most of my evenings just hanging out watching films and commentating whilst the boys played Fifa (and failing at teaching me how to play).
Apart from writing my posts, I do the majority of all the other things for blogging via my phone, as I assume lots of people do! I rely so heavily on these apps, and think they are great for bloggers to have on the go, so I decided to create a list of apps that every blogger should have!
If you are anything like me, twitter is the platform that I use the most for blogging. I use it to share my posts, to communicate with other bloggers, and to interact in blogger chats. Without twitter and the other bloggers I met through it, I definitely believe I wouldn't still be creating content. Yes, occasionally there is drama, but if you avoid that part, there's actually a really supportive community!

University, and university life, is so expensive, and living independently and being in charge of your finances for the first time can be quite difficult. I thought about how I wanted to write this post for a while, and decided the best way would be a do's and don'ts list. I think the most important things are to not be too obsessive, but be aware of your financial state. And to remember that you shouldn't hold back from social things due to money. But here is a list of my financial do's and don'ts:
Disclaimer: This is just my opinion and my outlook, everyone is in a different situation when it comes to money in university, so may disagree.
