Today, I am sharing an absolutely incredible campaign and one that I feel very strongly that I need to share with  Getaway Girls . Based in Leeds, Getaway Girls empowers girls and young women aged 11 – 25 to build up confidence, develop new skills and take positive risks in an environment which offers cooperation and support. The charity achieves this through individual support, group work, outreach, detached, residential opportunities, creative arts, sports development, adventure education, training, peer support and opportunities for voice and influence. Getaway Girls supports very diverse groups of young women in terms of cultural backgrounds and needs. The charity targets young women who experience barriers or discrimination including: domestic violence, young mums and asylum seekers. Today's post is to bring this campaign to your attention and discuss how the way we post on social media - with filters or editing tools we use on images - can affect young women’s percepti

It's been a while since a posted a consistent schedule over here! I've been posting the odd post here and there but it's been nearly 2 months since I've been back over here to write a non-daily life blog post. It feel so strange to be sat at my computer with a few moments to share some thoughts and honestly, it's so nice to be back. This is the longest break I've taken in 5 years and as much as I love blogging and sharing my voice, my life has been so busy and hectic, I'm glad I gave myself a little chance to catch up and enjoy living in the moment for a few weeks. I'm still busy in placement but I can't stay away any longer! I've had so many incredible opportunities since I've been away and I've said no to most of them but the latest, I just couldn't so stay tuned for Friday! That's all for now, but starting this week, I'm back!

I celebrated Vicki's 20th birthday, a cold archery session turned into shooting in the hail and I went on a gorgeous lake walk with a friend.  Click here for the vlog or watch below.  For Vicki's birthday this year she headed to a club night but also wanted a cute a civilised meal with all her girlies. She ended up picking an independent french restaurant which served a lot of vegan options for Bea, Sam and Clare. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the food and while I had to slightly alter the menu to suit my needs, I was still good. There was a slight hiccup when the vegan dish wasn't served vegan but living up to her usual loudness, Vicki got a replacement pretty quickly, plus the food taken off the bill. After a quick shopping trip, we headed to a super cute little shop for desserts but they also served pancakes and brunch too. The lighting was gorgeous so of course we had to do a photoshoot.  But look at how amazing the desserts look...es

Shazam! What's it about? Click here to watch the trailer or see below. Shazam! was a film I liked the look of but had no particular intention of heading to see at the cinema. Thankfully, my date wanted to see it and of course I happily obliged and took his offer. I ended up really enjoying the film. It was a little slow to begin with and to be honest I was confused as to where the film was going. I tried to figure it out but after a while, I instead, just took it at face value.  The film showcases and develops an interesting storyline. It’s a lovely ideal of finding the perfect character for a role but unfortunately, one that is often impossible given today’s society. In the end, it turns out to be the perfect choice but not for the reasons you would think. It’s the final scenes that capture my heart. Seeing the foster siblings all come together and work for the greater good is just remarkable but of course, it’s how the casting department captured the unique characterist

The latest instalment in the Marvel franchise is Captain Marvel and boy is it a good one! Click here to watch the trailer or see below.  Captain Marvel is without a doubt one of my favourite new films I’ve seen in a while. I love Marvel films and this one reminds me of Wonder Woman in more than the obvious way. I love how we have another female superhero and this time, one with a backbone storyline.   I love how the film explores the lost past of Captain Marvel and the relationship with her old best friend and her daughter is just perfect. It’s a magical reunion and the childhood innocence makes it all the more special. The film is fast paced, entertaining and non-stop action. The director did a great job the entire way through the artistic filming shots matched exactly how I felt. 10/10. Would definitely recommend.

A busy few days at work called for a trip back to the farm, before celebrating the start of Easter with a trip to the pub and going home for Mother's Day weekend! Click here to watch the vlog or see below.  After a whole bunch of shifts, I headed back to the farm for a mini break before my next. I'd been staying in the hospital accommodation so haven't really done much since starting as I've kept alone and to myself so it was nice to head home and spend some time with family. It was a gorgeous couple of day so while mum was at work, I headed around the farm and took the dogs for a walk. I haven't had a chance to appreciate the space recently so it was nice to have the chance to enjoy it, especially with nice weather. We all ended up going out for tea as a special occasion. I thoroughly enjoyed my yummy brownie for dessert! As always, my grandma and my mum mean the world to me. When I got back to Chesterfield, I quickly unpacked and then got
