THRILL SEEKERS


As I'm sitting here trying to recover from an illness, I thought I would quickly to a recap of what I got up to with some friends last Wednesday.

I hung out at Thorpe Park with the ever wonderful Lauren and her boyfriend and his friends. All I can say is it was a success even though I did get ill afterwards )): It was also the last time I got to see Lauren as she's moved away to uni today (#soemotional), but hey not to be a debby downer I also made some new friends! 


Thorpe Park is basically a theme park with some of the best rides that provides you with a thrill of a lifetime! Personally I love the feeling of adrenaline and getting that rush when you're on the actual ride. But boy do I get so NERVOUS when waiting in the queue, from the heart pumping and sweaty palms! 


My favourite rides are Nemesis inferno, Colossus, Swarm and don't forget Rumba Rapids! Anyone have any favourite rides? 



We're the 3 best friends anyone could have :L  




What am I doing ?

Overall such a good day out with these lovely people :D 

I just wanted to say a quick GOODLUCK to Lauren for moving to university ! Miss you already ! 


Is anyone else a adrenaline junkie or just overall loves theme parks?

PARIS MEMORIES


This summer I managed to do something from my bucket list, I got to go Paris! :D Paris is such an amazing place especially if you love shopping and fashion. Not only that, but day or night the sights are just beautiful. I can definitely say it's one of the best looking places, it doesn't matter if you look down a random street you always get a sight/view that's just stunning! 


Just a small backing story, as I mentioned in my 100 facts post I am really impulsive and boy was this trip an impulsive idea. Me and my friend Jess wanted to go on holiday and one day we just decided to go into Thomas Cook and book a trip (the only time I'll mention YOLO), which can I add was really affordable, & I literally regret nothing. Anyway just wanted to post some of these amazing photos that captured some of this breathtaking city.


















Random picture, but they had a SEPHORA ! We don't have one here so I basically spent all my money in there ! Could literally live there !




I fell in love with this city <3 
I highly recommend giving this place a visit even if it's a couple of days, you won't regret it I assure you! 

What adventures did you get up to this summer?

LONG TIME NO SEE

I haven't blogged in AGES ?! I would usually blame it on my laziness but this time I have actual reasons for the lack of posts. Basically, LIFE. Life has got into the way. It's just gotten so busy with making plans about moving to uni, finishing summer jobs and of course hanging out with friends. So I thought I would do a quick recap of whats happened. 


In Cambridge there's so many little quirky and unique shops. Me and my friend Jess usually go for the normal Starbucks but this time we felt more adventurous, and we stumbled upon Crepe affaire. If you have one of these near you I highly recommend them ! There's a huge range of things on the menu from savoury or sweet crepes, waffles, milkshakes and all at affordable prices . What more can you ask for! And of course Patisserie Valerie, anything sweet and yummy they probably have it. 


Birthdays are one of my favourite things. It basically screams FOOD! 
Zizzi's is another place where food gets a definite A+ from me, especially their lasagne al forno. I usually don't get to see my old secondary friends as we go to different colleges, but getting a drink and catching up is always a good idea :D


My friend Natalie's birthday was a total surprise for her. Me, my friend Nirali and Natalie's boyfriend planned out the whole thing without her knowing. We celebrated her birthday with close friends and family. Drinks were flowing all night long along with some music and some shisha. Her boyfriend is truly one of the sweetest guys i've ever met, he literally would do anything for her (talk about relationship goals). Not to also mention my OTP Lauson came :L I was reunited with the beautiful Lauren and her boyfriend Jason (another power couple #LAUSON) who are just the sweetest people ever! 


Basically, still not getting sleep from the party, (talk about taking sleep is for the weak seriously), I'm trying to get some blogs up so I can get back into the routine again :) 

What have you been up to lately? 
Also I think I'm going to try and rock bold lips more often, just need the guts to wear them !
