1. Michael Crichton: Jurassic Park

I don't know why it's taken me so long to read the book of my favourite movie. At the moment i only have Jurassic Park and i am loving it, i wasn't expecting it to be so different to the movie. I've read that the Lost World isn't as good, but i might give it a try later on in the year.

2. Nerf Guns

I never understood the appeal of Nerf Guns, until i actually got to play with them. A friend of mine has quite a big collection and i only recently got to have a proper look at his and now i'm obsessed and need all the Nerf Guns!

3. Lip Liners

I've never used lip liners before and there was a huge make up sale the other week so i decided to pick up a few to give them a try. Right now i'm loving the nude colours to make my lips a little bolder. I haven't tried any coloured ones yet because i can't find the right ones to match my lipsticks, but one day!

4. Hair cuts

I hate getting my hair cut, i'd rather cut my own hair and deal with the consequences, rather than getting angry at a stranger. I haven't had my hair professionally trimmed in over a year, so as you can imagine, it was totally fried and gross from all the bleach/dye/heat. I didn't want to cut it until it got past my boobs, and although i was so close to reaching that length i got my hair cut shoulder length. I've been growing my fringe out for months and liked the length that that was, so for the first time in a while i left the salon happy, and it's also the first time my hair isn't layered, so it's a big change for me!

5. Veggies

I was never much of a veggie person, and i definitely didn't eat as much as i was supposed to. For about 2 months now i've cut a lot of things out of my diet and limited my intake of other things (although i've been super bad lately, but that's ok!) and swapped them out for half a plate of vegetables instead. Paired with 2+ litres of water a day and it really does make a difference! When i was being really strict with myself, i had the clearest skin i've had since before puberty hit-which was amazing because i suffer from bad acne and the vegetables also helped with my stomach problems. Healthy eating isn't so bad!

1. SUMMER IS COMING!
Winter is finally coming to an end! After what seems like an eternity (Winters always seem to last forever in the UK) we are finally seeing sun! We had amazing weather in Amsterdam and it's carrying on in the UK! It makes me so excited for the next couple of months and all the fun summer activities that can be arranged.. and of course all the amazing summer clothes I can start wearing!!

2. Dr. Martens
I've always wanted a pair of plain black Dr. Martens (and a maroon/burgandy pair) but never had the money to fork out the £100 price tag. However being a student Portsmouth can have its perks as we have a Dr. Martens outlet store and my friend informed me that they were selling black ones, so you know I just had to go on down and get myself a pair. However I ended up leaving the store with 2 pairs.. one plain black pair and the other is this soft leather oxblood colour.

3. Game of Thrones
My beloved has returned to me! Game of Thrones has to be my fav show out at the moment so this time every year is always a favourite of mine. After the first four eps got released before the original air date I decided to treat myself to the first two eps as I knew I was gunna be away for the first and be in dissertation stress city for the 2nd one. I tried my best to leave it at that and wait for the eps each week but my will power just wasn't strong enough and I caved and watched the remaining two.. I have zero regrets!

4. New Camera
After attempting my first vlogging venture in Amsterdam and putting the video together I realised I had really enjoyed creating it. So much so that i'm thinking of giving vlogging a go a bit more. So I felt it was only right that I look into buying a new camera to help on this venture. Not only that but i'm going away to Croatia for a week in June and as much as I love taking photos on my iPhone I wouldn't mind having a device that had a better zoom and image quality, on top of that i'm interested in getting back into photography when i graduate and become a proper adult.

5. Handing in my Dissertation
The past few weeks have been a living hell with me getting incredibly ill resulting in me losing a valuable week of working on my diss (as all I could do was sleep). I didn't make it to 10,000 word mark but I wasn't far off (9,300 was the final main body word count). After having on tantrum and emotional breakdown (in which the boyf was witness too) I finally finished on the 22nd April, printed and bound on the 23rd and handed it in at 2pm that day! It was a bitter sweet feeling, mixed emotions would defo be the word to describe it. Now it's the waiting game to find out what fate lies for all my hardwork!

What are some of your favourite things this month?
