I was looking back through some old posts and reminiscing on my past life earlier this year. I came across a post from 2018 and I wanted to re-do it for this year too! As I'm sure you can see by the title, here's the films I can't wait to watch this year!
No Time To Die: The latest in the James Bond franchise and I seriously can't wait. I love Daniel Craig and it's been a while since the film came out so it will be nice to be re-imagined into the Bond world again...this time with him in love and heartbroken. Wonder Woman 1984: Wonder Woman was one of my legit one of my favourite films of 2017 and I thought it was amazing that women were in power, but also, it was the perfect film and so well created. I haven't watched the trailer for the sequel and I really DO NOT want to. I want to be completely surprised. Mulan: The next Disney live action remake is Mulan and it looks incredible. I love anything Disney and can't wait for this one too. Dolittle: Who can den…

Whenever I go to London, I go see a musical on the West End and this trip to London was no different. I have been very lucky to see many musicals, especially as I managed to get cheap last minute tickets when I lived in London so I definitely made the most of it in my last few months there. This time was slightly different as I was going with my boyfriend. I wanted to pick something that wasn't super traditional and musically because he's not really into that, and I wanted it to be a story he was familiar with...aka not Disney. I settled on School of Rock and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much but I was completely blown away!

Click here to watch the trailer and here to buy tickets. Once again, I always buy tickets through TodayTix.

The theatre is a little further afield than other theatres, so took a little longer to get there than I expected but it is actually a really amazing theatre. It's a little dated in terms of the decor which isn't awful, but the queues…

2019 was a year of confidence, 2018 a year of change, 2017 focused on self-love, 2016 stood for progress and 2015 helped me reset. This year, my word for 2020 is intention. I've also decided to try and pick a few goals for each area of my life: personal, relationship and work.
Live in the moment. The last 3 months of last year were very hectic for me and whilst I loved every moment of it, I found myself torn in a million directions and not making the most of spending time and living in the moment. I want to optimise my time this year and re-evaluate my priorities. I want to focus on living in the now, without mindlessly worrying about other things. I don't want to multitask. I want to commit to being focused on one thing at a time by time blocking and organising days to relax and chill. Importantly, make a day off, be a day off. No emails. No work. Just focus. Learn to ice skate. It's been proven that those who learn a new skill every year, keep their brain engaged for long…

As I think about what direction my 2020 resolutions are going to take, I want to reflect on last year's resolutions and the level of achievement from this past year.

My big goal was to stop drinking diet coke for the year. I'd always said I was going to have two cheat days, which ended up being my birthday and my boyfriend's birthday. But I also ended up having an additional glass on a fancy diet out in London...mainly because I felt very awkward going on a date with just 2 people and sticking to water.

Whilst unknown areas still scare me to drive to, I have enjoyed the independence of driving and the ease of getting from place to place. I've driven to Wales and back multiple times, to London and of course to and from my mum's house in Leeds. I've also taken road trips to Coventry and Alton Towers which has been nice. It's not necessarily the driving that I fear, but the parking situation when arrived.

Where do I begin with archery! I still love it and I ha…

2019 was a big year for me and I so many things happened that I never expected. It was filled with so many highs, as well as a couple of lows. It was beyond anything I ever imagined and I was overjoyed to celebrate as I ended the year with loved ones. Here's a recap of one of my favourite year's to date.
January 
I started the year with a small gathering at home with friends and family. Before heading back to Nottingham, we had a girls date to a newly opened Ivy in Leeds. Despite having some hard days with my housemates and feeling completely heartbroken at times, the month ended on a high, with an open mic night with my neighbours. It gave me a chance to relax and reset.

February
The first day of the month marked my first assessment of being a second year student midwife. To celebrate, my course mates and I headed to a Chinese buffet in town, Cosmo. February marked the month I started talking to my first serious crush every day for the rest of the year. My Valentine's date …

It's finally here! Here is what I got for Christmas 2019. I have already shared my Secret Santa and my boyfriends gifts but here's what I opened on Christmas Day this year! What is Christmas without some sort of clothing? This year I got a tonne of new socks! I got some gorgeous comfy slipper socks from my mum and some Bamboo socks from my sister's boyfriends. Both are super soft. Then I got a little reindeer pair from my step Uncle and Aunt and here's the pack of festive socks I got from my boyfriend. My mum also got me some other clothes. A lovely pair of winter themes pyjama's, a gorgeous scarf and a sparkly dress.  I love playing board games and family friendly games so this year I got Colour Brain which was super fun and we played for a very long time on Christmas Day, plus Dominoes and Jenga! These were from my oldest sister and my dad.  My mum also got us a little bit of a joke present as we always steal her toiletries when we visit!
From my godmother, I go…

Like with my Secret Santa post, once again, I didn't take pictures of all my presents but I did remember to take a picture of a few. I think it's funny how we both did a lot of joke presents to each other and it was really lovely to be surprised. 
I love food (as I am sure you can tell) so he wrapped up some of my favourite goodies! I got a Chocolate Selection Box, some Cheese and Onion Pringles, some Wheat Crunchies and of course, some chocolate! 
I asked for a couple things for Christmas...or at least greatly hinted! One of them was the new Adam Kay book and I cannot wait to read it! Luke also got me this Life Hacks book. I'm kind of obsessed with watched videos of different life hacks so I will defintely have a good look through this to see if anything will make my life a little bit easier.  I have probably 3 de-icers in my car but they are all super old as they were my grandma's so they don't spray very well. I was defintely laughing when I opened this!  My fa…
