So...

I've typed and re-typed this first line a solid 10 times (as you can see I've settled for this cracking intro..)

I don't even know where to begin?! I've just read my last blogpost back, new year, new me HA HA HA HA HA HA. I am not slim and trim, I still eat complete crap and as you can quite clearly see I have not been updating this blog AT ALL. (Good job kez)

But in terms of new year, new me, thats not completely untrue! This year has definitely been THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE SO FAR. As you may or may not know, earlier this year I travelled the East Coast of Australia from Melbourne all the way up to Cairns for 7 weeks and I can honestly say hands down it was the best thing I have ever done in my whole life. I won't ramble on about it too much now but I am considering doing some blogposts about it looking back on it, giving my tips and tricks on what to do in each place and the best places to stay/eat (if you like Nutella, trust me you will NEED to read these posts, my Nutella consumption in Oz reached an all time high...) Let me know if you're about to embark on your gap year or even if you'd just be interested in knowing what I got up to?

Another big milestone in my life is that I have officially embarked on a degree in Multimedia Journalism at Bournemouth University! I moved down to the beautiful coastline in the middle of September and am currently well and truly immersed in 'student-life' and all it has to offer! (Most importantly VK's <3 <3) In the words of RiRi, 'where have they been all my life???' Again I want to keep this post as brief as possible because we all know how much I love to ramble on and on and write small dissertations for you all to read! But I am definitely going to be posting about my first experiences of all things Uni (spoiler: I cried more times than I had hot dinners, and as a uni student that seems entirely plausible because my cooking skills are about as good as a chocolate teapot..)

I've typed this whilst watching I'm A Celeb (YAYYYYYY IT'S BACKKKK!!) So please excuse any errors, I've just had a sudden urge to blog again because I really miss it!
Obviously attempting to blog alongside a degree is notably not one of my best ideas but I'm just going to post as and when I can! So hopefully you'll all stick around and bear with me??

Thank you for reading!

Oh Hi Stranger!

I'M SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY.

When I started my blog, I said to myself, "I will never become one of those people who starts a blog, and then a few posts in, just neglects it completely."

Yet here I am..

To cut a long story very short, in order for me to be able to fund my travelling ventures, (which I will update you on in a bit. VERY EXCITING.) I have had to go full time at my current job. This means that when I'm not working I am either catching up on sleep or eating... (What a life I lead eh.)

However, as I have obviously just passed my test I have been on the lookout for a car. (WHICH HAS BEEN VERY UNSUCCESSFUL AND FRUSTRATING) This meant that my days off were spent galavanting around our area, looking at cars in the hope of securing one of my own!

However, much to my disappointment and frustration, this didn't happen. Every car we looked at just wasn't right in some way or another, so here I am, over 3 weeks post-test, STILL without a car (*cries*).

So as I had spent my days off getting frustrated and upset about not securing a car, consequently this meant that;
1. I wasn't in the right frame of mind to write blogposts.
2. I hadn't spent my days off doing/buying anything interesting worth writing about..

Nevertheless, I thought that instead of forcing out a new make-up or clothing post, I would just give you a little update on what's going on in Kez's life!

So first and foremost. LAUREN AND I HAVE (pretty much) PLANNED OUT OUR TRAVELLING ROUTE!! We have yet to properly book anything yet, but after spending 5 hours in STA planning flights, accommodation, routes etc etc..
We have decided to do a two week tour in Australia, going from Cairns all the way to Sydney. I will go into a lot more detail about this tour when we have definitely booked it, but lets just say this is probably the part of the trip that I am most excited about! Because as you know from my Top 10 Places That I Want To Visit post, Aus is top of the list! We then decided that after a whirlwind 14 day tour in Aus, a week in Fiji would be rather delicious don't ya think!? We are looking to stay at the Blue Lagoon Resort which is on a secluded island in the middle of nowhere. Bliss. Now obviously we haven't booked it yet so I can't get too excited, but if you're a jealous person, don't type the resort name into Google images..

Lastly, we decided that if we were going to do Aus, it would only be right to do Thailand too, right? We are HOPEFULLY going to be visit an elephant sanctuary which looks after old and sick elephants (*heart melts*) for 4 days, before venturing onto do a 9 day tour of Thailand. This is the area that is a bit up in the air at the moment so I can't confirm anything for sure, as we don't know what tour we want to do yet. But nevertheless I am so bloody excited!!!!!

Obviously this sort of once in a lifetime trip comes at a cost.. And as I will be paying for it all myself this means that I will be work work workingggggggg. Unfortunately this means that I probably won't be able to update you guys on here as often as I would like :((( However! I will try my absolute hardest to write at least 1 blogpost a week!?
I apologise now, as I can see myself having to refrain from writing about travelling in every single blogpost, seeing as we are having to pay for the 6 week trip in bits. But I have a few outings planned that I may be able to blog about in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled!

Thank you for your patience, you lovely people! I promise I won't leave it so long until the next blog post!
