Why turning 18 scares the crap out of me

-
It’s well into September of 2017, which means only one thing. The school year I turn 18. What I mean by this is it’s the start of people who I grew up with, went to school with, am friends with, turning 18. This scares me greatly.
Most people can’t wait until their 18th birthday. They can’t wait to “legally” be able to do all the things they have wanted to do and have been doing anyway since they were 15. Me, well I’m shitting it.


I am not a big partier so the whole “going out” thing doesn’t bother me too much. Yes, I will now and then, but it’s not something I’m desperate to do. There are so many things that terrify me about turning 18, here a few.

·        University. Do I want to go? Do I not?
·        What am I doing life wise for that matter?
·        Adult prices of things (boo hoo)
·        Pressure. I ain’t a kid anymore.
·        Where have all the years gone? Can I just press restart?
·        More on that matter, I felt like I wasted my teen years for so many reasons. That makes me sad, and I feel like turning 18 signifies a kind of, end.
·        I gotta act like an adult.
·        Losing the safety net of being a child
·        When do I have to leave home?!

Why turning 18 is a good thing:
·        I can vote
·        I can book a nice hotel and stay alone (only a few places let you stay 16+)
·        I can get the tattoo I have wanted for years
·        Wine

As you can see, there’s less positives imo. If you know any, let me know. I don’t turn 18 until April, so I have a bit longer to feel more comfortable with the idea or just more time to spend crying over it. Who knows?

Bye for now,

Why I loved the Kissing Booth so much

-

On Saturday Night, I watched the movie "The Kissing Booth".

I then watched it again on Sunday Night. And I have watched my favourite scenes several times since as well.


Here are my top 10 reasons why I love the film so much.

1. I love that Elle and Lee’s relationship is completely platonic. They are simply best friends, and it doesn’t matter that they are Male/Female. I really appreciate this representation in film. More often than not, movies show two people who start out as besties and end up becoming lovers. It’s rare we actually just see a really great female/male friendship dynamic.

2. It’s everything I ever wanted in a romance film. It has the perfect level of cringe and cheese - nothing over powering but just the right amount to warm your heart.

3. Noah is very attractive.

4. It was written by a 15 year old girl who published the story initially on Wattpad. It was then made into a physical book, which has then been made into a Netflix original. How crazy and cool!

Is Puppy Essentials worth it?

If you aren't already aware of Puppy Essentials, they are *essentially* a monthly subscription service, for your dog.


I have been recieving their boxes since last year, and month on month I am impressed with the content and the awesome products that always arrive.

And of course, Max loves them too.

I work with Puppy Essentials on an ongoing basis to make content for them, as well as try ot their latest goods. They are excellent at accomdating your dog's needs. This became apparent when Max had to go Hypoallegenic, and the team at Puppy Essentials switched all his monthly treats to ones he could have. i think that is so cool, and I have to say when that brown box arrives, Max certainly knows what is inside.

Each month you get around 5-6 products, and they are always a mix of edible and no edible goodies. Some toys, some food, some random, but always well recieved.

In the picture you can see above, we got a real good mix. Also in that box was a chewy bone, but Max nabbed that be…

Thoughts from the air #1

I’m currently typing this whilst on my way to Phoenix, Arizona. In America. A place I have never been before. As in I’ve literally never been to the states. And I’m currently sat on a plane, in the air, alone, going. Over 6 hours in, and feeling good. The ride so far has been relatively smooth, if you dismiss the odd turbulence here and there. I’ve been fed extremely well (I thought plane food was crap!) and I’m snuggled up, in a food coma, watching rom coms and living my best life. Who would have thought it. Who would have thought that I’d be here. Travelling to the other side of the world as an independent woman, doing my own thang. I may be travelling alone, but I won’t be alone more or less as soon as I step off the plane. My bestie Andrea, is waiting for me on the other side. Imagining that right now is making me so happy. Imagining us making eye contact after not seeing each other for 9 months irl is getting me so excited. We’re going to have such an adventure.

11 hours on a plan…
