Glasses Direct | Are They Too Good To Be True?
Glasses. Does anybody who has to wear them really like them? I know that I don’t and I have been wearing glasses since I was in year 4 at Primary School. Apart from anything else, I just don’t think I suit glasses and definitely do not have the face shape for them. I just think they ruin any look I try and go for but then at the same time, if I don’t wear them then I can’t see. Such issues. I hate wearing glasses. Unfortunately, it is just something that I have to do or I cannot see. I have tried the other option of contact lenses and, although…

Getting Old | Birthday Haul!
Aaaaand here we go again! Birthday time! It really doesn’t feel like two minutes since I was writing this post all about my Llama Walking. How time really does fly. A lot has happened in the past year and not all of it has been good but right now I am in a good place with every aspect of my life. What more could I want when turning 24! Yeah, you heard right, I’m 24. I’m getting so old! So, this post isn’t exactly going to be about my birthday shenanigans. Shock horror! A birthday post that’s not about my birthday. I mean, it is but I’m going to discuss…

The Life Of Sophie | Let’s Catch Up
Hello! Its been a while, I know it has. Sometimes you just have to take some time away from things, no matter how much you enjoy them. But here I am people. I’m back. While I get back into the swing of things, I figured you might be interested in a catch-up with my life. An update on Sophie, you might say. If you’re not interested then you’re probably better off clicking the big red X at the top but I’d appreciate if you stuck with me, if only for a little while. So, if you have been following me for a while then you will know that I was…

New Job Update | The First Day Of A New Life
Bit dramatic the title, isn’t it? It is the truth though. Over the past couple of weeks there has been a lot of changes in my life, both wanted and unwanted. Starting my new role in a new office with a new company was one of them changes. I woke on the 24th September knowing that my life had made a massive leap. I was out of my comfort zone and starting work in a completely new place. Scary, right? You see the truth is that your work does make up most of your life. Working is life for most people and I am included within these people.…

Final Day At Work | A New Start
What an emotional day. My final day at work before I begin my new job in five days time. It was a weird one because as excited as I am to be starting a new job, and hopefully my future career, I was sad to be leaving. I think if you have enjoyed working for somewhere for over a year and a half, that is pretty normal, really. One door closes and another one opens Leaving my job was that best thing for myself even though I was sad to be leaving. Due to my wanting to ‘fly the nest’ as people say, I was needing a full-time…

Should We Be Killing Spiders? | Yay Or Nay?
Do not fear. No images of spiders shall appear in this post. No-one likes to look at a picture of a spider. If you do, you need to leave swiftly. Thanks. What am I scared of? I think you could probably guess but I’ll let you know anyway just in case you havent caught on. SPIDERS. I don’t know why but I am completely terrified of them. As are most people, I believe. I think it probably is one of the most common fears. I’m not sure about anyone else but they just make me feel uncomfortable. It’s the legs. Eight legs! So unnatural. I am aware that I…

Blog Goal Reached | Featuring GIVEAWAY!
I still consider myself a newbie and, to be honest, I probably will continue to do so until I have reached the six-month mark, maybe even longer! It might be a year before I actually consider myself a blogger. I started blogging for myself and it was a good way to fill my free time (basically once Ginger has gone to bed for his 4am start) and to occupy my mind as well. I love writing and always have done so this was the perfect hobby for me. I blog for myself and have done since around two months ago when I published my first post. However, …

My New Job | I Got The Job I Wanted
Yippee! This is definitely a yippee moment! For anyone who knows me or has followed my blog at all, you will know that I work at a local paper currently as a Production Assistant. Now, don’t get me wrong, I do like my job and I work with awesome people, but sometimes it is the time to move on. It is definitely the people you work with who make your job what it is. I couldn’t have asked for a better boss and everyone in the office is lovely. However, mainly due to myself and Ginger wanting our own place, and also wanting to start a career to last me…

BLOG UPDATE | New Category Coming Soon!
I like to think of myself as a writer. ‘Think’ being the main word in that. I am not a writer but I suppose it is what I aspire to be. I have always done best in English classes and this is the main reason I chose to study English Language at the University of Huddersfield. Alongside, I chose a Creative Writing course as well. The writer in me. All my life, all I wanted was to be the next Darren Shan (you can read all my love about his books here) and so I have like a million starts to books or half-written ones lying around. My main problem…

Hubble Contact Lenses | Are They As Good As They Claim?
One thing that I would change about myself is my eyes. Now, don’t get my wrong, I love my eyes themselves, I think they are the best feature of my face. However, what is behind the eyes is the issue. My eyesight is terrible. Without glasses, I cannot see anything really and every day is like living in a bubble of blur. Imagine living in a pint glass, the world around you a blurred sheen. That’s my life without glasses. It has been since I was in Primary School. I hate, no DESPISE, wearing glasses. I’m not sure whether you have noticed or not. There are not many…
