Summer Updates.

So I really let this thing get away from me. I thought about writing a post lots of times but it kind of felt like a chore, but now I'm doing it I remember how much I love it. SO time for a quick fire catch up of what I've been up to over the summer.

First of all in June I dip-dyed my hair purple. This went on to become a bit of a mistake but more on that later. I was about to head of to Glastonbury and have always wanted to dye my hair a bold colour so thought 'eff it' and I took the plunge.

After that I went to Glastonbury Festival and it was utterly amazing and exhausting. I had the best time but also died a little bit by the time I got home. Highlights include the incredible Sam Smith, Jake Bugg, Lily Allen, Ed Sheeran, Arcade Fire and Fat boy slim. Also all the food and drink and just general good times.

                                      

I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone! Even if like me you need two naps a day and aren't too keen on rain and mud. Just throw yourself in and do it!

Then in July, straight afterwards with not much time for rest Aaron and I whizzed off to London to meet up with some of our Uni friends as it was Jaz's birthday. We just mooched around and had a mini picnic which was lovely. Not forgetting having a big jug of Pimms on the south bank.

I miss these guys lots. Like a lot a lot.

Then brings us to August where every year my family go to Salcombe in Devon and stay in a lovely pink cottage. It was lovely to spend time with the family and I also turned twenty three on the 10th which wasn't so lovely. Definitely thought I'd have a lot more of my life figured out by now but I digress.

This photo of my sister and I shows the hair disaster in progress. After one wash my hair turned bright blue. Not a complete disaster but not the desired outcome. I decided to leave it for a while and it turned to green which can be seen above. No matter how many people telling me it looked fine I hated it and definitely needed it out as I had an important wedding coming up, but before that we went camping for Aarons Birthday.

Oooh actually I haven't mentioned that I passed my driving test on the 14th of July (yippee!) and bought a mint green vauxhall corsa with some savings. Look at it, it's beautiful!

Anyway having the car meant that I could drive to Worth Matravers where we were going camping even though I've come to realise that I am the most nervous driving in history of drivers. Literally I'm still up all night having anxiety dreams if I have to drive the next day. Even after having the car two whole months! Pathetic. Anyway I made it to worth after many panics and we camped and it was a beautiful place.

We drank lots of cider in a pub called The Square and Compass and it was a lovely night, my kinda weekend!

Right back to that wedding I mentioned before. August bank holiday weekend rolled around quickly and along came the wedding of one of Aaron's oldest friends Dom. Unsurprisingly Aaron was one of the best men so this was a very important affair, hence me deciding that green hair wasn't entirely appropriate. I washed and washed and washed with no luck so chose bleaching it out as the best option. I put the bleach on the ends of my hair and left it for half an hour, any more and I would be too scared of properly damaging my already dry hair. I washed out the bleach and NOTHING literally nothing. My hair was still green. I panicked and rang my hair dresser friend Emma and she told me that I can either dye it all over darker or leave it to wash/grow out. As a semi-permant dye I definitely got my monies worth. I've settled on no more dyeing (and lots of deep conditions) and waiting for it to hopefully fade in time. So for the wedding I decided to just have my hair up and try and hide as much of the green as I could. Here I am also wearing a BARGAIN Topshop dress that I managed to grab for £13.50 in the sale. It was little loose around the bust but for that price and after a few safety pins it was fine.

                                  

Amazing day and Aaron's speech was so good. I was so nervous for him but had no reason to be because he killed it! The food was yummy and Lymington is such a cute little town, I'll be back.

And that brings me to end of my summer and to now with not much to look forward to. Next week I begin my work experience in a primary school which I hope I enjoy. Otherwise it's back to the employment drawing board but I'm sure I'm going to like it. I'm currently doing a teachers assistant course at the same time and while it's very interesting, I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of writing essays. This blog post might as well be an essay so maybe this will help.

So that's it, I realise this is long but I haven't written anything for an entire summer so hopefully you got all the way to this part. I am definitely going to make a conscious effort to stay more up to date this thing so hopefully I'll have some exciting things coming up that I can write about.

Hope you are well, bye for now xxx
