Adios amigos!

I am finally off on my holidays :D I'm not sure Lanzarote are ready for the Davison clan!! Sadly this means there won't be a Sunday blog this weekend or for two weeks after that :( Not sure how soon I will be back on the web seen as I start work at a Summer camp the day after I land back in the UK :)

See you all soon!!!

Week in photos Wednesday. Numero Uno.

AAAAARGH major problemo! I connected my google/blogger account to my new phone and stupidly deleted all of my images!! So for now on there might be a few pictures missing from my blog and instead I have some funky black triangles floating around :( anyway....

As I promised last week, here is my first full week of photos from my project 365 :) If you have no idea what I'm talking about then you need to have a read of an extra caramel shot. I totally didn't expect the project to be so challenging! Some people who take on this project use professional cameras whereas I just use my mobile which makes it much more accessible but it is still difficult. If you do more than one thing in a day it's hard to choose something that would sum up your day as a whole and then there are those days when you don't do anything spectacular.. such as Sundays :P

Thursday June 21st - Nikki's 18th birthday; her first night out on the town with her friends.

Friday June 22nd - Coffee and a catch up with Emma my friend from Uni. Very strange to see her in Wolverhampton! Her boyfriend Nathan who she met at Uni is from the same place from me originally .. what are the chances eh?

Saturday June 23rd - Nikki's birthday meal with the family. Our first cocktails with us both being legal drinkers :) yummy woo-woo

Sunday June 24th - Not a photo I took, but I photo I made in a way :P and shared with Dally on twitter. We are contemplating a trip to New York incase you didn't get that ;)

Monday June 25th - Tractors in Claregate? Sam King would be proud :P

Tuesday June 26th - The day I got my fringe back and started using instagram

Wednesday June 27th - Shopping for holiday essentials.

New beginnings

It has been all change in the last few days, my life has taken one big turn! (for the better I hope) My two and a half year relationship ended this week, which I obviously thought was the hardest thing eveeeeeer, but after some pep talks from my Mum and my friends I feel okay :) better than okay actually! We have to keep perspective in times such as these and remember it was only our relationship that ended and not our lives :D and he is still my buddy!

It just feels a bit odd now because a long term relationship influences so many of your life choices and now I only have myself to consider I feel a bit lost haha. The world looks totally different to me now :) mysterious and full of different opportunities. I like to think the picture below is a good metaphor for in my brain right now; It's a whole new beginning!

It is only SIX DAYS until my holidays, what a good place to start some TLC! :D I am RIDICULOUSLY excited to go! After a really dreary June I will be glad to feel the sun on my skin and the sand in between my toes :) My family have looked up some fantastic places for us to visit; we are all explorers at heart and my Mum swears by 'off the beaten track' haha. Here is a sneak peak of what Lanzarote has to offer :) magical!

For our holiday I obviously have to have a lovely new hair cut :P As I am STILL in the process of growing my hair (see my elongated hair journey heeeeeere) I won't be having much off the ends but I am finally getting a full fringe (or bangs if you are American) cut back in, HALLELUJAH! I have missed my fringe sooooooo much but if I had it cut in any earlier I would have looked totally dorky. I'm feeling something a little like thiiiis...

As if this is not enough stuff going on this week, I am also getting my new phone :) my contract runs out this month and I have had a massive internal debate about which phone to get. I am not very good with the technological side of things so this was like a serious brain cell burning decision! I do not kid :P iphones and blackberrys seem to be the it phones at the moment but I'm really not convinced.. you guys may disagree and have perfectly good reasons for loving them but I just don't see it :) so then comes the debate between the Galaxy s2 or the s3 :) I told you it was a brain burner! In the end the £10 a month difference for the slightest of differences made the Galaxy s2 the phone for me :)

Think I'm making a mistake? Argue it out with these guys :)

A little something..

I found this on tumblr today and just had to share it!

20 June 2012

an extra caramel shot.

It's super exciting seeing a friend after spending weeks and weeks apart isn't it? I swear me and Dally didn't even pause for breath yesterday; too much to talk about and too little time is our problem haha even when we sit there for an hour after we finish our drinks! Definitely going to have a repeat of this on Friday as I am meeting the lovely Emma from Uni who has found herself a chap from Wolverhampton (it's weird how these things work out) and is visiting for a few days. Obviously I have to take the opportunity for a girly catch up!

Did you know that you can customise your frappuccio in starbucks now? Um no, me either! You can choose between coffee and cream, then a flavour shot, the type of milk and then whether you want cream and sauce on the top! Save the embarrassment of holding up the queues, have a play around on their website to explore the possibilities of create your own... www.frappuccino.co.uk. I had a lovely coffee and caramel mix today with soya milk; just over 100 calories and it was DELICIOUS!

These lovely coffee meetings are the perfect opportunity for me to get started on my Project 365. By golly, what on earth is that? I hear you ponder. Basically you have to take one photo a day for a whole year, hense the 365 part; even on those mundane pyjama days when you don't have much planned. This way you build up a collection of thoughts, people and events that you might have just forgotten about and then you can see your life with a whole new perspective :) read more about it here if you want. In addition to my Sunday blogging I'd like to start a 'Week in photos' Wednesday in order to track my Project 365.. don't you guys let me give up! I only started on Sunday so I don't have a whole weeks worth of photos yet, but here goes nothing...
