A throwback Thursday to some instapics I've not shared...♥

10 Random Facts...

The thing I love most about blogs, and my favourite types, are that they're personal to each 'author'. Even with many similarities they're all individual. Bringing me onto todays post of 10 random facts that you don't know about me, that are personally individual and represent me even if just a little bit. I have seen bloggers do this and even though I haven't been nominated as such I'd still like to share with you just so you know a little bit more about me  ♥

1. My initials spell NEW
   .
2. I got my first Iphone for my 20th Birthday (January this year)
   .
3. I'm a foodie; especially chicken and chocolate (not together, that would be weird.)
   .
4. I wear socks to bed almost always.
   .
5. The furthest I have travelled to is Mexico (twice.)
   .
6. My current favourite TV show is Suits (obsessed, and I haven't watched much shows since I moved to London as I don't have a TV!)
   .
7. At Starbucks I order a Caramel Macchiato. In Costa I'll have a Caramel Latte.
   .
8. I have never been to a concert or festival (sad? yeh...) or watched Finding Nemo!

Business Diploma...

On Thursday, I received my course results from College and officially signed off my BTEC. It took any many late nights finishing assignments, a lot of confusion, crying and concentration but I did it. I achieved a DDD (distinction x3 = equivalent to AAA @ A-levels)

I now have a diploma in Business!

Having failed horribly at my a levels 2 years ago, this was a big deal. And I can be proud of myself in achieving something I worked hard for. This chapter done.
2 years finished, next; University in the big city, London ♥


...awaiting my certificate. Have to do with pink paper for now =/

Bad Habits...

1. Being a Coke cola addict
   -Before you worry I mean Coke Cola, I am always drinking Caffeine. And I get withdrawal symptoms when I go 48hours without- not good!
2. Picking off nail varnish
   -This annoys my mom more than anything, especially when she finds it on her carpet... I'm sure you've done it where its chipped, it's easy to come off and it saves money on nail varnish remover- win win!
3. Ordering a burger instead of a salad
   -I may be a girl but I did not dress up to eat something I could make at a supermarket.
4. I leave Business work to the last minute
   -Now if I was doing something I enjoyed like fashion, I'm sure this would be a moot point. But since I have to write reports on supply and demand, ethics in a business and how an event is run in a team... I can only do this under pressure, like a day before the deadline. Not good. 
5. Going to bed without taking off make up
   -Happens mainly when I'm tired, but I'm pretty confident it occurs to 90% of make up users, such a chore!
6. Always having the red light on my petrol tank flash...
   -Petrol is expensive!
7. Staying in bed longer than I should
   -I was so surprised when I found out I was the only 19year old who stays in bed till 11 sometimes 12 on a Sunday. Is that too much of a lie in? 
8. Not saying what I really want at the hairdressers
   -I like to be a people pleaser and hate conflict. But what I really should say at the hairdressers is no to a fringe and stop cutting it so short! I want it looooong. :(
9. Liking older music than the current top40-I know I'm young but I prefer Etta James and Aretha Franklin over One Direction- Those children don't have as much quality experience. 
10. When I start a good book I tend to stay up to till 4am until it's finished
    -They mean what they say when readers say you can't put it down, I literally can't. 
11. Neglecting my blog! :(
    -Had to add this as I'm feeling this is a main one lately. When you have lack of inspiration, crappy weather is limiting things to do and less pictures are being taken posts become a minimum. Bad habit #11.

All things girly...

My style, my interior, my loves? All things girly...♥

Happy Birthday to me...

Saturday was my birthday. Can't remember the last time I had the day off for my birthday. So it was filled with lots of laziness, and time to 'play' with my presents- just like the child at heart that I am. 

Extremely happy and thankful for my new SLR camera from my family as well as a massive Fashion bible book to take with me to University. Couldn't believe how amazing my family were and made me a very happy girl ♥

Honestly, me...

I love going out for dinner, cocktails, cinema... I don't love clubbing- but I'm 18 so i'll pretend.

I love Glamour magazine and Marie Claire... I like pictures and fun not stook up and expensive; sorry Vogue.

I wear heels with straps so I don't fall out of pumps that don't hold my feet it.

I laugh alot because I love to, but put up a shield of quiet and shy.

I studied History in 5 years of high school and through A-levels but can't remember a thing of what I was taught...who was fighting and why in World War 1?

I have a lot of pink in my room, but hardly any clothing because I don't want to be seen as a barbie. 

I don't know if the course i'm majoring in at University is what I really want to do in my life..will I enjoy it, will I regret it?

Really want to do a dance class, but not independent enough to go it solo.

Hates children but secretely, maybe, a little bit...may have one when I'm older; we're talking 35+.

Had a completely, deeply obsessive crush over a guy in high school who turns out to become one of my now closest friends boyfriend. He's still pretty but personality has let me down a bit. Crush definitely gone. Phew.

Thinking my parents wished me and my brother could have become doctors, pilots or air hostess (mum does) and are secretely dispointed that we chose the creative routes of Fashion (me) and Journalism (him). Even if it's not said and they speak of how proud they are. 

Getting the Michael Bubé 2013 Calender again this year, and slightly hoping i had gotten concert tickets instead. 

Not having a specific taste in music and not really knowing what genre fits which. I like Beyonce, Bublé and Norah Jones- which category am I?

Hating and feeling shit whenever someone asks 'Do you have a boyfriend yet?'

Can not wait to move to London to have some space from my family, but hating when I'm alone in the house.

This is just how I am...honestly ♥

Exhausted...

Last night I had about 4 hours of sleep. It was one of those tossing and turning all nighters- frustrating, pointless and tiring. 
So here I am, exhausted with no pretty pictures, no thorough research and no amusing anecdote. Sorry. I promise to do better next time. 
But just for your interest here are a few things you may or may not know about me;
I love Coke- I have a caffeine addiction. In winter and at work I drink coffee. 
I've never had an Iphone or Blackberry-not from lack of wanting one though.
I once cried when I was driving and the driver infront ran over a squirel. 
I love Gerbera Dasies, but have only had them once from my dad. 
I still don't know what to do with my life- and I have a month to decide.
I sometimes think I'm adopted, due to my green eyes and their blue eyes- I sometimes wish it was true.
I'm short. Just like my brother, my mother and my father. We're all short.
I have only 4 books on my shelf, but have read about 400 from the library.
I wish they'd make an up to date polaroid camera so I didn't have to use a computer software instead.
I seem shy, but at home I'm the opposite.
I hate champagne but pretend I adore it.
I love cake but only at Christmas and Birthdays. 
I can't stand rude people, what is the point of being rude? Show manners!
I love dancing. Growing up I did Tap, Ballet, Irish, Street and Gymnastics (which I know itsn't dance but I just like to brag about that)
And there is even more...♥
