Birthdays and tattoos!

A few weeks ago for my birthday I decided I was going to be spontaneous and courageous and try something sooo completely out of my comfort zone. I GOT A TATOO!!! now I know what many of you are probably thinking a tattoo really?!? That's not brave or courageous hundreds of people get tattoos everyday. Yeah they do!! However like I'm sure  many people out there are I am terrified of needles I can.not.stand.them!! So for me this
was quite a challenge. So on the morning of my birthday I decide no you know what I'm gonna do it I'm gonna go ahead and get a tattoo. I'm gonna tick something of my list of goals that I wish to achieve! As I'm sure I have mentioned before I have a list of goals, things I would really like to achieve (preferably before I'm forty if not then at least before I'm too old). Getting a tattoo is just one of the things that is on this list even if it is just the one small one I'll be able to say I've done it. I don't want to look back in thirty years time and say I never tried anything. I want to be able to tell my kids yes I have no regrets, I tried new things, had adventures I don't want to look back and say I never did anything at all. I know getting a tattoo is probably a really small thing that has no effect on what you achieved in your life but it's a start of trying things that aren't always within my comfort zone that push me to try different things. So anyway I had thought for a long time about what things I might get  if I ever got a tattoo, I did a lot of research( that's the student in me coming out) I asked a lot of questions but I never thought I would actually ever do it. So when I decided to first get my tattoo I thought why not if I keep questioning it/myself I won't ever do it. So on my birthday I printed off the design I liked and just made sure it was something I wanted and went down to the tattoo parlour with my friend. I got there opened the door and went it and I was hit with this smell of clean you know that kind of smell you get in the dentist and I could hear the tattoo gun. I'm not going to like I nearly turned around and went back out door then and there.
 But I didn't I stuck it out and got my tattoo. And I can tell you I am very proud of myself for siting through it as I never thought in a million years I would ever do it!!! Xx

What inspires you most???

So today I've been thinking about things that inspire me, what inspires me to do better, to be better and try harder. One my friends has recently been through at tough time but has handled it so well and come out of it the other side stronger and smiling and I am so proud of her and to be able to say she is my friend. This along with stories and reports that have appeared in the news  has inspired me to write this post.

We all have that one person we look up to, to inspire us and to encourage us. Sometimes this person may be a celebrity, sometimes they may be a family member such as mums, dads, brothers and sisters. Sometimes the things that inspire us most may not even be a person but a song, a place, a time or an object. Inspiration can come in the form of the smallest things.

Just a few of the people and things that inspire me are my mum, my Nan and some the things they have both achieved and continue to aspire to achieve. Another one if my inspirations is Emma Watson who even whilst continue her career filming two movies she still managed to finish her education and graduate with great results which encouraged me as well. She has done so many inspiring things she's a strong women who isn't afraid to speak her mind and change the world.  

In recent weeks I've been encouraged and inspired by others to try so many new things and take so many opportunities and I am incredibly thankful to those people for wanting me to be the best that I can be and still seeing the best in me even when I can't see it in myself.  Some of my other inspirations are the great friends I have who have supported me massively with some of my endeavours xxx

Busy week charity/ films/ job/ life

Hey everyone!!!

It's been sooo long. I'm so sorry I've neglected to update or post anything on my blog but these past few months have been crazy busy.

I've just recently started a new job which I am absolutely loving at the minute. I have met so many new and fascinating people and am living every minute of it.

Has anyone seen the new Captain America movie Civil War. I have!!!! And I Loved it. Me and my friend went to see it this weekend just gone we spent the whole day positively shaking with excitement as we have been waiting to go and see it since the trailer was first released. Such a long wait but soooo absolutely worth it. So I have to know for those of you who have seen it were you #teamcap or #teamironman. I found it so difficult to decide! There are so many appearances in this movie we get to see some old superhero favourites and meet some new. I want to know what people thought of black panther and the spider man that they introduced in this movie. What are your thoughts on Bucky Barnes/ the winter soldier and have you got a favourite superhero? My personal favourite is the Black Widow ( I think she deserves her own movie or her and hawkeye) because she really holds her own in a group of men. Other than her I'm a fan of captain America however I can't help but slightly love iron man/ Tony stark for his sarcasm and wit which keeps me entertained. I think that as an actor Robert Downey Jr. Is just great and the characters he portrays always stick with me as being great. I loved his interpretation of Sherlock Holmes in the recent movies.

I've also recently been getting better at being more active, trying new things out and just generally going out and about a bit more. I've joined new clubs which have allowed me to meet new people and have a brand new outlook on life.

At this moment in time I am the happiest I have been in months and it us such a great feeling, a relief and has actually allowed me to connect better with people.

I am so proud to say that my wonderful little sister is doing a great thing for charity in the coming week, she is ten years old, she is having her hair cut in aid of the princess trust charity who make wigs for children who lost their hair through cancer or alapecia and I think this is such a good cause. She is having 12 inches of her hair cut off and I couldn't be prouder of her for all the sponsers she has revived and how much money she has raised. Proud big sister moment for me.


Anyway hope you all have a lovely weekend
