Making A Difference


Yesterday I received an email from The British Heart Foundation telling me how much my donation of clothes has made. It honestly put a huge smile on my face and I just had to share this with you guys.

Back in May when I was packing up my university room these bags were pushed under my door. They were from the British Heart Foundation and were for old clothes, shoes and other things to donate to the charity.


It just got me thinking as I was packing my suitcase that I had old clothes which I had not worn ever or in a long time. They were good quality clothes and I just thought why not declutter my wardrobe. Plus the donated clothes might be able to help a few people. I ended up filling two bags filled with my clothes and I was given the option to right my address and email just so they can get in touch with me to tell me whether or not my clothes made a difference.

Anyway yesterday they sent me an email to me and told me my clothes I had donated has raised £15.56. Knowing this has put a huge smile to my face knowing that my clothes which I never wear have made that much. It goes to show you can make a huge difference by donating your old clothes.


I just wanted to tell you about this as I hope it inspires you to go into your wardrobe to declutter it and donate any clothes you no longer wear to any charity you like. You will make a huge difference and have knowledge you have given something back to this world.

Thank you for reading. I'll be back with another post tomorrow. See you then guys.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I...

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo...

Chapter Eleven

Image
I feel like I say this at the start of every month but I can't believe how quickly October went. It felt like it was a complete blur and now we are in November. Just two more months left of 2024 which feels crazy to me cause I've done so much this year that this year has honestly been the best year for me. This month, I don't really have much planned. I actually finished my Christmas shopping a couple of days ago so I don't have any Christmas shopping to do this month which is great cause it means I can save a bit of money this month. I think I'm going to Manchester to enjoy the Christmas markets at the end of the month which I'm excited about. Plus I'm going to see the fireworks on bonfire night. Other than that, I don't really have much planned for this month. November is definitely a chill month for me especially when I've finished my christmas shopping at the end of October, it's usually a relaxing month for me. So yeah, I don't have anyt...
