Bedroom Bits and Bobs ♡

     I have spent the last couple of years sprucing up my room and making it more adapted to my style. Being the youngest sibling, I was left with my older siblings' old room. It was very worn, childish and I was not a huge fan of the jungle theme. At the end of Summer two years ago, I took it into my own hands to redesign my room and match it more to my age. So my friend and I went to the nearest DIY shop and began the decorating process. I chose a colour I would describe as Cambridge Blue, which I love because it gives the room so much more light and is a very relaxing colour. However, my new obsession is finding cute decorative knick knacks for my humble abode, and really setting a prominent theme. I would class it as a 'california-beachy-surf-teenage' vibe. But enough rambling, without further ado, here are some bits and bobs I've dotted around my room. Enjoy! Below are some links to places you can find these things, if it doesn't have a link, it's because I got it from a market or it's not available anymore.

The British Tag ♡

After a three week holiday (well needed after dealing with the stresses of GCSE's!), I am back in the blogging game. There's something great about tags, I don't know if it's just me but they are so original and a fun alternative to watch/read compared to the usual favourites or hauls. This is the 'British Tag' created by the lovely Sammi from the YouTube channel 'BeautyCrush'. I love this tag and am very excited to be doing this tag, so let's get on with the questions!





1. How many cups of tea do you have a day? + How many sugars?
   On average, I have roughly two cups of Earl Grey or English Breakfast tea a day, and I take two spoonfuls of caster sugar. I like my tea sweet!

2. Favourite part of your roast
   Hmmm...I honestly can't decide between the stuffing or Yorkshire pudding, but everything has to be drenched in gravy! How could it not be?!

3. Favourite dunking biscuit
   My favourite dunking biscuit has to be a chocolate digestive, the chocolate goes all gooey and melted. But my favourite all-time biscuits are either jammie dodgers or chocolate fingers.

4. Favourite quintessentially British pastime?
   It would probably have to be going to a pub on a summery sunday afternoon, and having a roast dinner in the pub garden. Don't knock it until you try it!

5. Favourite word?
   Cheeky. Mainly springing from my love of Jack and Finn Harries, but it's just a fun, quirky little word. If you're not from England, or don't know what this word means, it is basically being a mixture of bold, funny, humorous and outgoing.

6. Cockney rhyme slang?
   I should be ashamed of this because my dad is Cockney but all I know is 'Apples and Pears, Up the Stairs'.
7. Favourite sweet
   My favourite sweet has to be either toxic waste, fizzy cherry cola bottles or skittles.

8. What would your pub be called?
   The Thorn and Rose.

9. No.1 British person
   Emma Watson.

10. Favourite shop / restaurant
   My favourite shop for clothing is H&M. My favourite restaurant is a toss up between Pizza Express and Nandos. I can't decide!

11. What British song pops into your head?
   Wannabe by the Spice Girls.

12. Marmite.
   No, I can't stand it! I find it way too salty.

So that is my British Tag, I hope you enjoyed reading it!

Probably my collection of bracelets I've accumulated from the last three years of travelling to Spain. They hold a lot of memories and mean a lot to me.

HAHAHAHAHA. Does refusing to run in pe and telling the teacher that no one likes pe count as sport? If not, I ran through the streets of Madrid last week because my teacher made me go back to my hotel room and get my coat when it was sunny and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. THAT WAS FUN.
