Sunday Post #8 - What I've Been Pinning

Hello everyone!!

I've been super busy again this week but thought I would show you some things I have pinned on Pinterest this week. I love Pinterest and have done for some time, I have found some great tips and ideas on it and its a great form of procrastination. You can check out my boards here if you like.

I need this tshirt

Words cannot describe how cute this is

I cried with laughter when I seen this

Pancake day on Tuesday - These would be perfect

I want to start making green smoothies so this is super helpful

Hope you enjoyed this post and if you want to see what else I pin remember to check out my pinterest.

Sunday Post #7

Hello everyone!!

I'm sorry I haven't really been posting much and its due to studying. My prelims start next week so I have been studying as much as possible and writing so many essays that very soon my arm may fall off. I have a few things to catch you up on. The first being last Wednesday I received a mystery parcel which I originally thought came from the Valentine's Day box swap I took part in and it turns out it didn't so I had to send it to the owner it was supposed to go to. I felt rather bad about it because I had someone else's parcel but I kindly sent it to them this week so they can get their box. I did however receive my box from Rachael and you can read/see what I got from her here. I loved everything I got and enjoyed the whole experience of my first box swap.

Last Saturday I had my audition for Edinburgh Napier University which was rather fun. I wasn't nervous one bit which made the whole experience even better. It was a little hard to find the location as down the one street there was 4 churches so we weren't sure which one it was but lucky I found it in plenty of time. The interview was rather quick and really relaxing, there was around 12 other people auditioning as well and for the most part we were all just stuck in a room together getting to know one another. We had separate auditions as well as a group workshop and I must say each part was great!! I'm not sure when I'll hear back but I actually think I done not too bad, it isn't my first choice of university but I was just happy to get an interview.

On Friday afternoon, I received an email from University of the Highlands & Islands inviting me to an audition for Acting and Performance at their institution. I literally screamed when I read it, its where I would love to go study, even though its a while away from home and probably really expensive. The audition is on the 26th March so a little while away but I'm sure it will fly in and I'm so excited for it. Unlike Edinburgh Napier I only have to perform one monologue which is a huge plus for me and I am just going to use the same one from my Edinburgh Napier audition. I also have a college audition tomorrow which is pretty exciting as well but it isn't somewhere I want to study but its part of my back up plan incase I get rejected from uni.

I hope you all have a fantastic week and I'm sorry if posts are limited again this week but prelims are taking over my life at the moment. Thanks for reading!!!

Sunday Post #6

Hello everyone!! I hope you had a lovely week. I finally picked a song for my audition and have went with Out Here on my Own from Fame, a song I normally wouldn't have went for but I changed up the pace of the song to fit my voice and love how it sounds. The original is down below if you would like a little listen.

Today we had another little adventure only this time it was to the Kelvingrove Art Galleries & Museum and this place is filled with great art work. We mainly focused on just the bottom floor as my little cousins were getting a little bored looking at the art and much preferred the animals downstairs. The place was rather busy today which made it difficult for you to see anything. Although it was nice to have a little explore as I haven't been for a while and some things I had bypassed on my previous visits.

I can't believe it's now February, its just insane how fast January went past. It just doesn't feel right, I feel like I need to have Bernard's watch (if you remember that leave a comment below) and stop it so I can slow down time a little bit. It means that this month my prelims start and then its not too long till my real exams and this is the stage where I begin to freak out a little bit because I'm just not ready for all this.

I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely week!!!

Sunday Post .. #3

Hello everyone!! I'm really enjoying doing a post every Sunday, it lets me reflect on what has happened this week. This week I started back at school after the Christmas break, I hate going back after a holiday. 

It was also my uncle's funeral on Tuesday, it was a really sad day but the service was really nice and the minister who done the service is my school minister and he tried to put a little bit of humour and happiness into what he was saying about my uncle which was nice. It was the first funeral I had ever been to and didn't really know what to expect, I didn't think I would of cried as much as I did. 

I mentioned in my last post that I would do a post on Graze, which is a little box you pay for and it comes through your door filled with healthy little snacks. I accidentally ate some things out of it before I took pictures so I'll hopefully remember next friday when I get my box to take pictures before I open it. The snacks are really good and you can choose what you would like in each box. This week I received Jaffa cake flapjacks - these tasted exactly like a chocolate orange and they were delicious, Cookies and cream - this contained mini cookies, hazelnuts, white chocolate buttons and sunflower seeds, this was really nice aswell, Korai Chutney - this was interesting, it was little curry bites and chutney, not too sure if I enjoyed it or not and lastly I received BBQ pistachios - I really enjoyed the flavouring of these. I also have a little code which will let you get your 1st, 5th and 10th box free - the code is KATELY618.

I also discovered a new show called Orange is the New Black which is a netflix original show and I love it. I watched Ingrid or missglamorazzi's video on her favourites from 2013 and she mentioned this show so I decided to check it out, I'm only on the 3rd episode but so far I'm really enjoying it. I must say though it does involve mature content so do bear that in mind if you do choose to watch it. Its about a woman who has self surrendered into prison and follows her experiences during her sentence. If you do watch it please tell me what you think of it. 

My gran's birthday is on thursday so hopefully we are doing something for it, I know her sister is coming up from London as a surprise for her which will be good. My mum is thinking of going for a meal and later in the week I'll have a post showing some pictures of it. 

I hope you all had a lovely week and next week is just as good.

2014 Memory Jar

Hello everyone!! For my Sunday post today I thought I would show you a little DIY project I made the other day. Last year I saw a few people make memory jars and I loved the idea but never got around to making my own one so I decided I would do so this year. My sister bought the jar from ikea and wasn't using it so I kindly asked for it then I cut out numbers/letters from some out magazines and glued them to the jar. I cannot wait to start filling it up with my memories or just exciting things that happened during 2014 and at the end of the year I will try and do a blog post reflecting on the year using the memories in the jar. Its also nice to look back at in the future as sometimes memories can fade away or get stuffed to the back of your mind but this way it means these events will never be lost.

I hope you have a lovely Sunday as I'm off to the carnival then I'm going to either write up my Chemistry notes which I have been putting off for the majority of the time I've been off school. I know I promised myself to doing catch up posts on Sunday's but I thought today I would show you something a little different. I also have a lush haul post to put up this week aswell as a Graze box post showing you some yummy treats I got in the post this morning.
