I was recentley contacted by Nickelodeon about the upcoming premier of their new show The Other Kingdom, which premiers on the 8th August at 6:30pm on Nick! I personally love all things supernatural, be it fairies, vampires or ghouls - so this is a show I can get behind! (I will also probably use the excuse of my little brother to watch it,...
Hi guys! I don't know if you can tell from the title, or the photo of me in a stupid hat - but I graduated this week! And I thought what better time for a life update post than this? I graduated from Manchester Met with a first class honours in English literature and I am so proud of myself!! I was also...
Hi everyone! The past few weeks have been a hectic mess for me so I just wanted to sit down and write. Normal service will resume shortly, this is just a quick little life update, First up I want to apologise for the lack of posts recently, as some of you will know from twitter I have recently gained, quit and then gained...
As you all know by now, and if you don't now you do: I did my undergraduate degree in English lit, and will be doing my Masters in it come August. So when Simon & Schuster contacted me about reviewing a Young Adult novel, I was super excited and jumped at the idea! 'Girl, Missing'*, the first novel by Sophie Mckenzie turns 10...
Seeing as though my post on why I think we should stay in the EU went so well, I thought I'd throw caution to the wind today and react to the outcome of this referendum. I am still adamant that we should have chosen as a country to remain, and the fact that we are going to be leaving is really disheartening to...
I know that a lot of people going into their final year at university are starting to think about their dissertations now. And as someone who has just finished uni, and got a first in her dissertation I felt like I could give some advice on this topic! So here are my tips for getting a good grade on your dissertation at least...
Ever since I can remember I have been in love obsessed with music, and I have wanted to bring this into my blog. I have wracked my head for ways I can do this, and thought up of a new series, 'Rachel Loves', once a month there will be a new post listing a few of my favourites of different things, be it music,...
My first attempt at a flat-lay, I don't think it came out too bad! Recently I've seen a surge in posts like this one and was interested in seeing just how much a full face of my own makeup has cost me! So without further ado, I'm going to scare myself into not buying any makeup again. My day to day makeup consists...
As you may know, I recently completed my undergraduate degree in English Literature and will be going on to my postgraduate degree in the same subject come August. I was thinking the other day about how I didn't really enjoy any of the texts on my course unless they were ones I had chosen to read myself anyway - Dracula and Edgar Allen Poe's...
In my most recent post I told you of how I went to my boyfriends house for a week to take my mind off the impending doom that is adulthood (you can read about this here). I love going to my boyfriends house, he lives in Snowdonia and it's just so picturesque. Granted I got dragged up a mountain and actually fell in...
I'm going to do something a little bit different on my blog today and talk to you about politics! I can feel the eye rolls already but just hear me out! The EU Referendum is happening this month and some of us will have by now received our postal voting forms (I have!) but are unsure as to how to vote. There seems...
Hi guys! I felt like sitting down and writing a little life update today. As you may know I have recently left university and will be graduating in July! This period in-between has been full of uncertainty and confusion and I can only imagine any recent graduates will only be able to sympathize with these feelings of doubt. Will I ever get a...
After finishing my undergraduate degree I have found that for me the best way to stay organised is through bullet journaling. This post is going to showcase how I set up my bullet journal for a new month and a general weekly spread layout I tend to use! I'll also include some shots of me actually using this journal so that you can see...
As a student, I thought that this would be a good little series that I should (hopefully) be able to carry on over the course of a few weeks! Budgeting is a huge part of my life, even though I constantly find myself within my overdraft - god damn you student loan company. Student diets are perceived as unhealthy and mainly pizza-based. This...
So, I figured you guys would all like to know a little more about me, embarrassing stories - the lot, so I'm going to try and give you a little insight in what it's like to be the walk embodiment of cringe that is myself. I'm going to start with one of my more recent embarrassments that I am comfortable enough to share...
I thought I would kick off my first blog with a recount of one of my favourite holidays to date, Amsterdam 2016. My boyfriend and I went for my twenty-first birthday for a weekend and it cost us £180ish flights and hotel! I was so buzzing with the price and the timing and just everything about it! That is until I got ill,...
