Fly Me To England

Ten years ago I moved to Spain with my parents. Ever since then I have only gone back to the UK twice! The last time I visited it was Christmas 2006 and I was 12. That's a really long time to go without seeing my family. But...that's all about to change this year.

In my New Year's Resolution post I talked about wanting to get out of my comfort zone and push the all the boundaries. So a few weeks ago I decided to book a flight and head back to my home country for a small vacation. The scary thing is, I'm going all on my own.

Now you'd think a 20 year old travelling alone is a common thing. It is, as there are many people my age who explore amazing places on their gap year or whenever. Me, I'm a little nervous.

I've been to places like New York and Madrid, and even though I wasn't with my parents I was still with a group of friends from college.

The thing that scares me most is flying. I don't mind when the plane is up in the air. It's the take off that I hate and start to panic. Another thing that worries me is the culture difference.

I've lived in Spain since I was 10 and I live in a very sleepy village. During that time I've gotten used to a slower way of life, and the way people are. When I go back to England its not going to be the same.

One of the reasons I'm doing this is to prove to myself that I can do lots of different things on my own.

Although I love my parents dearly, I'm at an age where I want more independence. Having independence or more of it opens up new opportunities as well as giving more experience in life.

I'm really looking forward to my trip in May. I can't wait to see family and I'm looking forward to going back to my hometown and letting all the memories floe back. I hope to spend a day in London and see the famous sites again.

I also hope to buy lots of beauty products and clothes so that I can write reviews and my thoughts on those products. As I know this blog is lacking in beauty and fashion reviews. I of course will write a post on what I got up to and will upload some photos of where I went.

New Year's Resolutions | Lifestyle

Hey everyone, hope you all had a fantastic New Year's Eve. I sure did.

It's the beginning of the year (I still can't believe we're in 2014 already) is always a good time to think about life, the year ahead and to make those famous New Year's Resolutions.
I've made 5 this year and I really hope that I can keep them as to be quite honest I'm useless when it comes to sticking to my resolutions. Anyway here there are:

1. Try to upload at least one post every week. I started this blog last summer and since then I haven't blogged at all. I promise you that 2014 will be full of new content. Life is hectic, but walking in Claire's shoes is a huge part of my life and I don't want to give it up.

2. Worry less and try to enjoy life. I'm someone who worries about even the slightest little thing. I've gotten to the stage where it's taken over my life, and I hate it. I think this resolution is going to be the hardest to help, but instead of worrying I'm going to think happy thoughts because what's life without happiness :)

3. Be more organised. Since graduating high school my organisation has gone out the window. I have no time-table and my course notes are all over the place. I'm going to be more organised in my studies as well as my personal life, because that too is a mess and needs some serious sorting out.

4. Study more. Studying has been the same as my organisation....non existent. I've studied but I feel as if I haven't done enough. There's going to be a turning point, and if it means getting up early just to study then that's what I'm going to have to do.

5. Get out of my comfort zone. I'm someone who doesn't like change at all. I love it when there are routines in my life, but I'm starting to get tired of the same routines over and over again. So this year I`m going to try and push my boundaries and try as many different and new things as possible.
