July Favourites

Image
The end of another month which means it's time for another monthly favourites post. This is what I've been loving this month in July. Let's get started. How To Kill A Guy In 10 Ways by Eve Kellman I absolutely loved reading this book because I had no idea what way it was going to go. I obviously knew murder would be involved but I could see this story going a number of ways. It's definitely relatable in the sense that every woman has had a horror story happen to them on a night out where they've either been harrassed, attacked, spiked or even worse which is really quite sad. Anyway, this book dives into that world as Millie runs a helpline for women who are feeling unsafe during a night out, they can contact M. However, M soon turns to murder and Millie finds herself becoming a vigilante against the creepy men. I absolutely loved reading this as it gave me similar vibes to How To Kill Your Family and I honestly enjoyed reading this one. I'd highly recommend it i...

So Many Changes

Image
I feel like it's been a while since I last made a post here but life has been a bit hectic at the moment for me. I'm coming to the end of one job and about to start a new job so life feels very chaotic at the moment. I'm feeling very bittersweet at the moment because on the one hand, I'm excited for my new adventure but on the other it is quite sad as I really enjoyed this job and I'm sad to be leaving it behind. It feels like my life is on a rollercoaster of emotions right now with so many ups and downs, twists and turns plus the odd loop the loop just to confuse me even more. I guess that's what happens when you have so many changes going on in your life. It's a confusing time but I'm pushing forward and just hoping everything will be okay at the end of it all.  That's why I haven't really had a chance because I've been slowly counting down the days of my job but I'm also starting to feel nervous about my new job. I haven't really h...

Shrewsbury Haul

Image
As I said in Friday's post, I'm sharing everything I bought in Shrewsbury. For me it was a successful shopping trip and I'm so excited with everything I bought. Let's get started. From CeX, I bought two Playstation Two games that I haven't played in a long time. Technically one of the games, I didn't play as I used to watch my brother play it but I remember it being a cool game to play. That was Prince of Persia the Sands of Time. I remember it had a cool wall walking move and sword fighting. I thought it would be a fun game to play. The other is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 which I have so many memories playing because I used to create a skater then skate around on free skate. I know there's a career mode and I just thought it would be fun to play again.  In Waterstones, I bought two beautiful books. The first was Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales retold by Naomi Lewis. The reason I got this was I bought the Grimm Brothers original fairy tales and I...

Solo Shopping Trip

Image
On a rare day off, I decided to go on a solo trip to Shrewsbury and thought I'd capture it as a day in my life photo journal. It all kicked off when I was walking to the station and was taking my time. I kept thinking to myself it's normally slightly delayed so I should be fine. I rounded the corner and there was the train at the station. I had two choices. Accept the fact I was going to miss it or run. I ran like my life depended on it. I was hoping the conductor could see my mad dash and halt the train. It was still early at the end of the day. Luckily I made it with a few seconds to spare. Out of breath and slightly sweaty but I made it. I was on the train. The next one wasn't for another hour so I was glad I made this one. It reminded me that sometimes trains can be slightly early so I won't make that mistake again.  Just when I thought everything would run smoother, a tree decided to fall on the train tracks which meant my journey was stopped half an hour in order ...

Chapter Seven

Image
Can you believe we're in the seventh month of 2024? Where did this year go? In five months it's going to be December then before you know it we'll say hello to 2025. This month is an interesting one for me because a change is about to happen to me that I'm nervous about but also a little bit excited as it will be a new chapter in my life. This month is going to be a bittersweet feeling for me because something I really love is about to come to an end but something new is about to begin for me. Does anyone else get mixed emotions when a big change is about to happen in their life or do you feel one emotion more than the others? Change always brings a mixed bag of emotions for me as I tend to often feel both sides of the scale. That's the beauty of an overthinker. It's why I'm glad I have an outlet like my blog or even journaling where I can share all my thoughts and feelings so I don't get too overwhelmed. It's good to have an outlet for your emotions...
