April Inspiration

We are already half way through April! I cannot believe how fast this year is going already. I am not loving it, that's for sure. Before I know it, I'll be back in cold England for good and starting my final year of university.

 

Like every month, it is (passed) time to create an inspiration board for the month.

 

Happy April!

 

 

1. During the Easter holidays, I was sick. It always happens when I'm home aka Christmas and Easter. Therefore, I didn't get to do as much as I wanted. I did catch up on a load of British TV and I caught up with all the drama of the soaps as I lay on the couch day in, day out.

 

2. I have been back in Spain for over a week! Time flies when you're having fun etc. I can't believe I leave in less than three months. That will be the end of my year abroad. This makes me very sad. I don't want to leave the sun and the sea!

3. I have so many exciting writing opportunities coming my way at the moment! As a twenty year old, I am really proud of myself and how far I've gotten in the past two years of publishing my work on online blogs and magazines!

 

4. It was SG's second birthday on the 2nd! So, HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY SG!

 

 

5. Lot's of exciting things coming up in the next few months! This year is definitely in my top two of life so far... Having the best time!

 

Lately On Pinterest

I wrote last month that I had recently opened a Pinterest account and I love it. I love finding all these different inspirations that I would never find on google or photobucket etc. I especially love all the tattoo finds! It's great inspiration.

 

Here are some of my latest pins:

January Inspiration

I nearly forgot to write an inspiration post for this month until I realised the other day that I hadn't done one.

 

January is full of hopes, but also blues. It is after Christmas and everything has to go back to normal unfortunately. However, as this is the year that I am being mega positive and trying not to be negative, these are the good things that are inspiring me this January.

 

(L-R) It is a brand new year; what I am wishing for this year; pretty piercings; staying free to be my own person; long hair with short shorts... and tights; GOING TO LONDON; January flowers; keeping a diary - this one pictured is actually one kept by a first world war soldier; wearing pretty things despite the cold; having my life on my own turf, in my own time; creating my new tattoo; black and white swan mixed in fashion.

 

I had to get up early this morning and I'm glad I had to go out. It makes me feel like I haven't lost my day like I normally do when I'm in bed. I think I might give Martinez a visit and have some tortilla.

 

I need to do a load of boring stuff today aka revise, do laundry, buy food etc.

Going Home.

I have not blogged in a long time. I have no excuse really because I'm not mega busy or anything. I've become a fan of Pinterest recently to put a load of different inspiration up, mainly to do with 'Ink' which I am loving at the moment.

 

Technically, as seen as it's after midnight, I go home tomorrow night! I am beyond excited and cannot wait!! I just want to have a full English and a hot Ribena on the couch, in front of the telly, in the evening. That will be happening on Friday among seeing the family!

 

I want to do so much whilst at home for the short three weeks I'm there, so I've made a list, but with proper SG style, here's an inspiration board.

 

 

L-R: Catching up with friends like the crazy people that we are; Making 21st birthday plans (way in advance!); Putting the Christmas tree up (parents have waited for me to come home :)); Eating a massive Xmas dinner; Spending quality time with my family (miss them); Reading loads; Writing what I want to write, not what a university wants me to; Eating a full English; Eating out at an Indian restaurant; Going out with the girls; Getting my hair restyled (I'm liking this - long layers); NYE; Seeing Breaking Dawn (it is at the top of my list!); Going to a panto with family; Being addicted as ever to tattoos.

 

This is what my diary of the next three weeks will look like, plus other things as plans are made and people come home for Christmas. It looks like I'm about to put on many pounds from all the food I plan to eat! It's a good job I've already thought about exercise for next year (including Zumba!).

 

I cannot wait to be in the comfiest bed in the world, and have the best sleep ever after getting home early hours of Friday morning!

 

I'll be blogging more over the Christmas period, and I've planned a couple of Xmas HerUni posts too so look out for them.

 

 



Welcome to the Festive Season

I can't believe that it's December already! This year has gone so quick, and these three months in Spain have too. December is the month of giving, Christmas, time with friends and family, eating and drinking loads, hoping to not get fat etc. Also, it is party season! But, that is a whole different SG post.

 

I, personally, have been waiting for December to come around since September, so now that it is here, I can safely say that I am very happy.

 

Also, because of my flight change to a later time, I was able to change my flights for free. So, I am now flying home on the 13th December (next Thursday/10 days!) which of course, I am so excited about.

 

This time of year, I always start writing my story/books again which I have started already. I finished the first draft of book one over a year ago. I've started both two and three now, just writing here and there. I have big plans for this series and hope to continue writing over the month.

 

At the moment, I am also going through a tattoo phase, where I want loads more and I spend hours on Pinterest looking at different tats. I'm trying to force myself to wait until next September though, after I've been in Spain because the climate here has made my latest really dry.

 

Happy December!

Welcome to the Festive Season!

 



This Is Halloween

October is the month of freaky faces, spooky sounds, crazy costumes, and one of the best reasons to throw a party, or go on a mad night out with your friends.

I am looking forward to the end of the month, and I am throwing a Halloween party myself this year. It is my first one, and what a better place to throw it: in Spain! Then, we'll probably all go out to a club or bar somewhere.

 

As with all my recent posts, this is another inspiration post, so enjoy the pictures, and get inspired for costumes, makeup, decorations, food and drink, and much more!

 

 

 

This picture is a bit larger than normal, but I can't have it half the size because there is so much shown here.

 

I have started the Halloween countdown already (19 days!) and this is the kickstart of my Halloween preparations!

 

 



Floral Designs

Another tattoo post full of floral designs and inspiration...

There are so many floral designs out there! I've never really realised how beautiful floral tattoos are until now!

Just a little post of tattoo inspiration!

Inked!

Almost a week ago, I got my fourth tattoo. A few months ago, I posted my inspiration which you can find here. In the end, I decided not to have any of those feathers and was newly inspired by the following one just a couple of weeks ago.

I fell in love with this feather because it was a little bit different which is what everybody wants: to be that little bit more individual than any other person. The waiting game for this tattoo was originally when I returned from Spain in 2013, but I couldn't wait that long. So, it came to this Summer, but my impatience (I am very impatient) got the better of me, and I decided to get it done in the Easter Hols, whilst I was at home. Mum and Dad actually let me get it done! Mum's said it is the very, very, very last one! I've said it too because the pain on my ribs was sometimes unbearable! And I like getting tattoos done!

Mine the day of tattooing:

Mine is smaller, and thinner which is better for my body shape, and I think it looks more antique to go with the idea of the quill pen. I've added the word 'passion' underneath it as writing is my passion (as all you readers know!). It's itchy now, and has started to peel so it's getting better!

Never again!... For a few years!

Ink up!

Just a quick post.

These are the tattoos that I want to get done next. I don't want to get them done any time soon because I want to wait until after my year in Murcia.

The first image is taken from 5inchandup. It is her sisters tattoo. It represents the circle of life, and life carrying on over and over which is something that I would gladly have inked on me. The only problem is, although I have long hair, I'm not sure whether I'd be comfortable getting it done on the back of my neck. It's a mother thing as well as a wedding day thing (yes, I am thinking ahead) and I just don't know whether I'd want it done there. The only other place I would think of it going is on my wrist but I do not want any tattoos on my arms or legs.

The one below is one that I have wanted for quite a while now and if you've read this blog, you'll know where and when and why etc. For those who don't know, I wouldn't be getting it done on my spine for reasons 1) it would kill way too much and I don't fancy going through that type of pain (saying that I want it dont on my ribs) and 2) I have a tattoo down the side of my back; it would look far too crowded for my liking.

The blog was looking a bit bare lately so I thought a nice quick post would do it justice. I've been writing an essay about Victorian femininity for the past 3-4 hours and I' have 1000 words to go. I'm officially giving up for the night even though I want to do another draft after this one by Friday. Yes, that is a short amount of time but I don't want the stress of an essay hanging over my head when I return up North.

Much love at 02:38am!

Hola 2012!

New Year, New Beginning.

That is the saying which is on everybody's lips.

For me personally, 2011 wasn't a bad year, but for people I know, and my home community, it was an awful year full of loss. Nine teenagers from the Wirral died in 2011. Hopefully 2012 is the start of something better and may the lives of teenagers be true and happy and neverending this year!

Last year, I started my second year of Roehampton uni, started a job that I love, became editor of the MyUniRoehampton page for HerUni.com. I went on a great girls holiday with my family in March, had a load of laughs with my family and friends and had an amazing time with my boyfriend. There were many more memories but I can't write everything down.

For 2012, I hope to travel around Europe! That is one of my resolutions/hopes for 2012. I will be living in Spain as of September for my third year of university. I'm scared, excited, nervous, thinking of the tan and dreading missing my friends and family. To be honest, I think that the three months I'm there before Christmas will fly by if this past year and a half of uni is anything to go by.

So, Spain will be on the list of places to go, and it will be ticked off.

Other places I want to go are in this post about travel. I will be going to Portugal in the summer with family. Also, I hope to go to Tenerife again with my cousin, and perhaps somewhere for a long weekend with my girls. These are the plans so far for travel/summer 2012. I will be updating these plans all the time.

Resolutions for 2012

1. Take my rollerblades out of the box. Since my mum bought me rollerblades in the summer (which I really really wanted), I've used them once for about ten minutes. They need to be put on and I need to skate around Richmond Park/the deer can chase me to make me go faster.

2. Update Senorita Glamourista. I mean with its layout, style, everything. I wanted this blog to be an online diary for my inspiration and it has become so much more than that. Through having this blog, I have contacted the blog and fashion world which is a kickstart in my career.

3. Send my novel to agents. Yes, I have written a novel. It's around 115,000 words. I love it, of course I do but I want other people to love it also and with 3 years spent on just one book, it should be out there.

4. Be better at Spanish! I'm studying a Spanish degree, and I'm going to Spain in September so I need to be better than I am now!

And finally, I am going to state the obvious resolutions that many other people will think of, or at least on the same wavelength. These resolutions are tattooed into my skin, one of which is nearly two years old:

Mantenga la fe y viva sin lamentos

Live Love Laugh

Have Strength

And finally, some inspiration for 2012.

Wishing all the best for 2012!
