So I went to Tesco today with my mum, and she (lovely of her) treated me to this beautiful little journal. I don't know what it is about stationary but I find it all very exciting don't you? Probably not, you probably get excited about money or holidays ( I do also)  and not pieces of paper being held together in a journal. However how cute is this? 

I'm going to use it as my blogging and journalism journal. I will take it with me to places so I can jot down ideas for posts and articles- that's what writers say you should do! So hopefully this will mean better and more blog posts that you'll all enjoy. I am also hoping to get back on the photography wagon so you can all enjoy pretty little pictures too!

Much love X Laura

It's really horrible weather here today. The kind that either makes you feel horrid or actually makes you happy because it's an excuse to stay in and get cosy whilst watching Disney films whilst wearing no makeup! It's really rainy and windy and it's so loud I have to put the volume up on my laptop!

I was struggling to think as to what to write for today's blog. I've been cheeky this week and given you 1 extra blog post- surprise! You lucky things! I think sometimes it's too much to write about a certain topic every time, and that in fact what a lot of you probably like to read is just little updates and life snippets- I know I do! So today I thought I would do just that!

I'm feeling rather groggy today as I went out last night for a course social with a lovely group of girls and it was a lot of fun. I didn't drink much; in my previous posts I've told you I don't really like drinking much. Nevertheless staying out until 2am dancing always makes me feel cranky and groggy because all of my body starts to ache.

So far today, I woke up at 12:30pm- naughty! I actually thought it was about 9:30 and then panicked. Although I probably needed the sleep so we'll let that one slide. I've had one of those Actimel yogurt drink thingies and a healthy little bowl of salad because I'm trying to be more healthy. Probably won't last long because I really fancy some crisps and chocolate right now-hmm! I was supposed to be going to the doctors, but the my online request has been approved meaning I can pop in tomorrow and pickup my prescription, meaning I don't have to walk there today in this weather- bonus! I hate doctors surgeries, they just aren't nice, and it's the same with dentist surgeries. They are all so quite and smell TOO clean and for some reason I often feel
intimidated and patronised! (Just me?).


Just went out to spend a bit of my NewLook gift card that I think I got in January! Exciting stuff especially when there is a sale! I came back to my flat to find an envelope that had been pushed under my door, about moving out of halls- how sad! I can't believe my first year is almost done! It has flown by. And yes, by the way I have now eaten a packet of crisps so that healthy eating didn't even last for the time spent writing this blog. Oh well balanced diet and all *winks*. It's really strange because my friend/flat mate has gone home for a couple of days and its spooky quiet around here. keep having to think of things to do. Looking around I can see my room is in much need of a tidy but I just can't be bothered right now! I'm so lazy... perhaps I'll tidy whilst getting ready later, although that doesn't seem likely. The last time I multi-tasked I was doing my makeup whilst eating crisps- a productive thing you might thing, but no. Because you get salt in you foundation and you suddenly creative a stingy exfoliating foundation!

As of now I am sitting at my desk writing this. Thinking about having another cup of tea- my day just can't function without it!

I'm not really sure where this post was going, but sometimes I like to just write. So there is my little life snippet, as boring as I'm sure it was. Why don't you all comment and let me know what you are all doing with your day! :D

Okay so my second vlog is now here. Primark is a student's heaven so I thought it rather appropriate to vlog about it. Apologies for my poor equipment as I am currently recording on my webcam which isn't ideal. But hey ho we'll see how it goes. I actually filmed this video today, so I wasn't rehearsed or anything which is probably why in the video I am being my usual awkward self. But vlogging is hard, you don't realise it until you try it- you are in a room talking to yourself which is crazy. But here it is and I Hope you will get some enjoyment out of it!

I am currently sat here at my desk (or as I'd prefer to call it, 'my office') with my laptop and a cup of tea to the right of me, and the window to the left. I've had a lovely Easter break back down in Northampton with my family, but soon felt like I was ready to come back to Portsmouth. As you saw from my Vlog 'Shopping Haul: University Bits and Bobs' I had lots of things to use and unpack when I arrived here yesterday afternoon. My room now smells very fragrant and beautiful!

    Last night my flatmate and I had the choice of going out or staying in ( a choice that is always a tricky one!) but after debate we decided to stay in and watch Made In Chelsea whilst having a bit of el vino! It was a lovely night and before we knew it we were playing cards ( a game called 'poo head' that another flatmate taught us in freshers week) and that game where you stick a post-it note on each others' heads and you have to guess the name on it- I can't even remember the name of the game so I probably wasn't much use at playing it! It was a lovely evening to come back to and I already felt settled back in.

   This morning I must admit I had a bit of a lie in- but only until 11 because my sleep hadn't been the best and it wasn't getting any better. So I decided to pop in the shower and throw on a baggy top, leggings and some lovely little Greek looking sandals. I had a very healthy breakie of weetabix biscuits and activia yogurt. Yum! A great way to start the day (goodness that sounds cheesy)! It was lovely and sunny out but the big ol' ball of fire seems to have gone away for a bit, which is annoying considering I'm about to go out shopping- much preparation for my Primark Haul Vlog on Saturday!

    Considering it's the first few days back, it's extremely quiet. Perhaps everyone is SO settled in they can't leave their beds? Either that or everyone is at a party that I wasn't invited to (slightly concerned now!) Just kidding! It's still a bit chilly here although yesterday afternoon was blissful.


So I've just gotten back from shopping- got a bit cold! Bought a few things from Pri of the Mark (Primark) that I'm in love with! Then came back and had a cuppa of course and a very healthy post-shopping lunch! ( how long will the healthy eating last I wonder?) Feeling very tired now so may take a nap or spend some time on Youtube now!

I thought today, because it has been a kind of settling back in sort of day, that I'd just simply write about it. Sometimes its nice to just read something simple, and I don't want to bore people or hurt their brains by writing really serious stuff. So I hope you've enjoyed this little snippet of my life!

I will be trying to post at least 3 times a week from now on, with a vlog on each Saturday! Please stay tuned and subscribe and follow me on all accounts!! Thanks for the support!

Hope you enjoy this little vlog- again sorry for poor quality I'll be working on that!! Thanks for watching and please subscribe!!! :D
