On the 10th of July I travelled up to Sheffield to visit my family and to celebrate my cousin's graduation. Except this time I didn't travel with my brother and mum in the car, I travelled on the train on my own for the first time. I had never been on a train journey that long by myself so you could say I was very nervous, but i was super excited as I finally felt like my summer holidays were starting! The time past very quickly as I kept myself busy- I tried to finish the current book I'm still reading "Fangirl" (I really need to finish this book soon as I've been reading on and off for nearly a year now!!!), I had my de-stress colouring book, I started to plan this blog and I listened to my music. I definitely had a lot to do to keep my mind occupied, so it didn't feel like I was on my own. "what if someone is sat in my seat?" "What if I sit in the wrong seat?" "Will there be enough room for my suitcase?" "What if I get bored whilst on the train?" were all questions flowing around in my head as I travelled to the train station- yes as you can see I worry about the silliest things. having said that the train journey, there and back, was very pleasant and enjoyable and it wasn't very busy which is also a good thing! Whilst up in Sheffield I got the chance to see my cousin graduate and be invited to his graduation party at the university student union which was very very enjoyable! It was lovely to see all the graduates celebrating and having fun, as well as I got a taste of what uni life and graduation would be like if I get into uni in September (fingers crossed). My auntie took me to my first spa day which was lovely and so so relaxing. I got to have a body scrub treatment which definitely helped my sensitive, eczema prone skin; as well as experiencing different rooms such as the ice room and the saunas. The spa day definitely helped me to relieve stress from the past few months as well as just relaxing and, having some girlie time with my auntie. I also went on an elephant statue hunt with my cousin and auntie around Sheffield, as there all different statues placed in areas around the town. It was great to see parts of Sheffield where I haven't been in a while as well as seeing the different elephant artwork. My favourite has to be the Hendersons relish elephant(the orange and black one) featured outside Sheffield university, as I love Hendersons and it just relates to Sheffield so so much. I had a lovely afternoon with my three cousins and two of my aunties when we went to a cocktail bar for some drinks, little catch up, and to celebrate my cousin's graduation, my birthday as well as my other cousin's birthday. It was nice to enjoy the cocktails with lovely company, and to chat about things that have been happening in the previous months as well as things that are happening in the upcoming months too- I don't see my family regular so when I do we always have a catch up. The cocktails were so so delicious too, yum yum! On top of all that I spent quality family time with my grandparents and my other cousin and aunties and uncles which is always lovely! I do love spending with my family even though we don't get to see each other on a regular basis. So yes you could say that the past ten days have been hectic, but I've loved it. The train journey on my own was very nerve-racking but it was very enjoyable and I would definitely do it again.

On Friday 1st July I had my leavers prom, which was my final (yes final!) prom of secondary school! It was so great to see everyone looking stunning and having fun. It was held at the Tower Hotel(I think that's what's it called!) in London right beside Tower Bridge, which was lovely as in the evening the bridge was lit up, along with the shard in the background- it really made the occasion feel even more special. At the prom there was a buffet, a photobooth and a professional photographer which was very awesome. Also no prom would be properly equipped without a dance floor, which was where I was all night so you could probably guess that by the time I got home my feet were killing! Overall it was such a good night, and I got to see all my friends having such a great time. I would definitely do it all over again. There's just a few pictures from the lovely evening. Playsuit: Asos Bag: Topshop Shoes: Dorothy Perkins Okay, so this outfit is possibly my favourite outfit I own!(please excuse the background of this picture, we had to take pictures in the tube station because we were rushing, haha!) The Playsuit is so comfy and I love the cape sleeves, as it adds some sparkle and glitter to the outfit. The only thing I'd say about the Playsuit is the fact that it is slightly heavy because of the cape sleeves, but I love the outfit so it doesn't matter! The shoes are block heels and are lace ups, but they have a zip at the inner sides of the shoes making it so easy to slip on and off. They were also very comfy and the suede material really added a subtle effect. And the bag, oh wow! When I saw this in topshop I knew I had to have it for prom. It is a soft material with a black and nude pattern, and has a cross the body strap which is very very handy. Also the bag may not look big but it certainly is- I fit my purse, lipstick, lip balm, my phone and my prom ticket but I still had loads of room left inside. Overall I absolutely loved my outfit as it completely suited the prom theme, yet I can still wear this outfit again for going out with friends and family-this is something I looked for as I didn't want to buy an outfit for prom and then not wear it again. For my hair I curled it using a curling wand, and I sectioned all my hair starting from the bottom and working my way up- it took so much longer than I expected,haha! I then pinned back a top section and twisted it, to create a more detailed effect. Foundation: Mally- Ultimate Performance Liquid Foundation Contour, Blush,Highlight: Doll 10 Cheek to Chic Blush & Contour Palette Eyebrows: Mally- Brow Beauty brow fix Eyeshadow: Combination of Mally Eyeshadow- Copper Rose and Bare Minerals- Gorgeous Eyes Unlocked Mascara: Maybelline- Colossal Volum' Express Lipstick: Mac- Velvet Teddy I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all my friends who have put up with my throughout the whole of secondary school. They have been there for me through thick and thin and we have had such great times, which I will cherish forever. I will miss you all, and I really hope we all stay in contact. Good luck with the future girls!!
If any of you get the chance to attend a prom for school I would definitely recommend going! It is so fun spending time with your friends, and seeing everyone dressed up! I would definitely say to spend lots of time on the dance floor, singing and dancing to your favourite songs- that has always been my favourite bit about prom. I had the loveliest few days celebrating my 18th with some of the best people. Thank you so so much for making it so special and the best birthday! Here's some of my favourite pictures.
