One thing that drives me crazy is when I feel like i'm wasting time due to a lack of organisation. It increases my stress levels ridiculously and i'm sure I look like i'm about to explode as a result. I often get asked by my fellow students and work colleagues how I manage to fit everything in and it is simply down to being organised with life. Here are some tips and tricks which help me keep my life organised...
As my love of the easter chocolate season grows I took a leap of faith in the baking world and decided to combine the chocolate fudge cupcake with an easter favourite of mine the chocolate nest. The equation of chocolate + chocolate always appears to be a winner. The verdicts from my brother and James (chief taste testers) were so good that they both immediately ate two each. The only test left for them to ace will be when my gran tries them - and she's the hardest cookie to crumble for taste testing - I'm secretly confident that these easter delights will achieve A* across the board.
Over the weekend myself and James escaped down to our nearest Center Parcs at Longleat Forest. We both really enjoy taking a trip to stay in the forest as there is something that feels so fresh and healthy about being there - the increased amounts of walking help with this too! We enjoyed games of badminton, visits from deer, ducks and squirrels, excitement going down the rapids, a trip to the carvery and a very necessary visit to the pancake house. Here is a quick photo diary of the weekend:
The big Two-Five.
So today is my name day and as you've probably noted by now i've added another year and hit the big twenty five. If i'm honest, i'm not sure I feel comfortable with it. I sort of feel like i'm stuck in limbo, I don't want to grow up yet but I don't feel young and care free either. In the words of Britney "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman". My social media feed is filling up with engagements, babies and honeymoons and I'm just not there yet. I'm still sat at home with a colouring book and takeaway.
Is this feeling the beginning of a Quarter life crisis? This is the start of my late twenties and i'm on the express train straight to thirty. Will I wake up tomorrow with a whole head full of grey hairs? I'm not sure. To stop myself becoming a quivering wreck i've decided to focus on twenty five things i've learnt in my twenty five years:
It is officially Creme Egg season and Creme Eggs are one of my favourite indulgences. I just wish you could get them for the other 8-9 months of the year.
Just before christmas I was lucky enough to travel to the Dominican Republic with my gorgeous family and boyfriend. We spent 10 days just relaxing and watching life pass us by under the palm trees and glorious sun. We encountered monkeys, parrots and some very cheerful locals and the most stunning white sand beaches. To escape the normal christmas madness was complete bliss although it did take away some of the beautiful chaos that makes Christmas so crazy and exciting. Here are a few photos from the trip.

Happy New Year!
Two Thousand and Sixteen is upon us and I will spend the next six weeks writing the date wrong on everything, including my work reports, and living in the previous year. It's that time of year again where you have to fight for the equipment in the gym, chocolate and alcohol sales dip and everyone becomes a recluse for the next month.

2015 has been a very strange year for me. All the normal traditions and timescales for things went completely out of the window. Overall I probably wouldn't class it as a great year - for reasons which I'm sure i'll share over time but are currently still quite raw. Focussing on the positive though for the new year ahead and even though I wouldn't class it as a great year I have still accomplished things this year which I am incredibly proud of.
