Why did I start blogging?


I wanted to start blogging because I would like to become a better writer and I am a believer in the idea that the more that you do something, the better you will become at it. That is why I am aiming to publish a blog post a week on here (usually on a Sunday even though I forgot last week, whoops) to get me writing more frequently which , I hope, will help me to become a better writer. I would also like to use my blog so that, in years to come, I can look back at my old posts and see what I was like and the things that i have done - using it almost as a diary.

Wolf Alice @ Oxford


This time last week I was lucky enough to have been on my way to Oxford to see my faves,Wolf Alice, with one of my bestest gal pals. To begin, they were awesome! I've never been to o2 Academy Oxford before but I think its one of my new favourite venues because its so small and the gig felt so perfectly intimate. The support acts were Bloody Knees and Swim Deep, who were both awesome. Swim Deep had a few technical glitches but apart from that their set was pretty fun. Bloody Knees were v cool too and really got everyone going. Then, after Swim Deep, came who everyone was waiting for, Wolf Alice. It's hard to pick a favourite song but if i had to chose it would be between Your Loves Whore, Bros and Swallowtail because: YLH was the first song they played and everyone was sooo excited and going crazy, Bros is Wolf Alice's most well known song so when the intro to that began everyone everyone got excited and knew all the words and Swallowtail because it is such a beautiful song that made everyone go silent as Joel sang. The set was an hour long but it went so quickly so I'd love to see Wold Alice again sometime.

Inspirational individual #1 // Ella Grace Denton




To begin, Ella really is a beautiful person inside and out. Just reading her blog makes me want to make a smoothie bowl and start doing yoga and a scroll though her Instagram makes me want to pack my bags and travel the world. Her style is beautifully vintage, her taste in music is ace and she's got quite a handsome boyf (Jack Harries *swoon*) but those are not the only reasons that she inspires me.
Ella inspires me because on her blog she writes about feminism and self love and body positivity and, as a teenage girl who doesn't really like to talk to and learn about that sort of thing from people I actually know, she really inspires me. She's also a vegan and blogs about it realistically and, to clarify,  I am not a vegan. But, Ella has made me start to notice what I'm actually eating and now i try to buy more natural foods/beauty products etc. because if we carry on treating the world like we are now and living these very unsustainable lifestyles then, what will happen to it?
As I hope you can see, Ella is pretty perfect so I hope you take a look at her blog and get as inspired by her as I do.

February Playlist

So, here's the music that I'd been listening to in the month that just passed. I have found some new faves, music-wise, this month (Bahamas, DMAs and Viola Beach :( r.i.p. ) and have also been listening to some of my longtime faves (The Wombats, catbm and Kanye...). Also, don't forget to follow my spotify to keep up to date with what i am listening to.
