Let's Play: Animal Crossing Pocket Camp!

Hey, so if any of you were wondering what has consumed my life this past week. Look no further than this free app based on my favourite game from childhood. Animal Crossing!! And because it so happens to coincide with the video week, I have made a little video showing my first look at the game. Enjoy!

See you when I see you!

Primark Haul.

Hey everybody, so today we are going to have a different post to the usual stuff. Thought I’d mix it up a bit. Keep things fresh. So today we are going to be doing a small haul post, because the other weekend I went shopping in Cambridge. I mainly went and purchased stuff in there Primark, but I thought it would make a cute little post, as when you run out of creative ideas, you’ve got to take every chance you get. Plus, there isn’t much to do on my way home on the train, so I started drafting the post.#

Now I love Primark, essentially everything I own comes from there, because it’s cute and affordable. However, I hate shopping in Primark because (the one in Norwich in particular) is chaos. But once you understand how to manipulate that chaos, it’s fine, and you get some very lovely clothes. For me those lovely clothes fall under three categories: Checked shirts, and jumpers. If you are lucky some kind of combination of those. I considered this trip a lucky one.

So, here’s what I got. Quick note, sorry about the pictures, but I didn’t really know how to pose, and Matt was being annoying with the camera. Anyway…

 First, we have, what I didn’t realise until I read the receipt, A Woollen Boyfriend. It’s basically a checked shirt dress I can sleep in. And I am wearing it with jeans in the picture just because I hate my legs. I love the colours, the pattern and how comfortable it is. Plus, one thing I love is being lazy and wearing pyjamas and now I can bring in my love of checked shirts so it’s a win all round.

Next, we have a Cable Jumper, because I need more jumpers in my life to keep me warm. Plus, it was a plain colour and one of the few jumpers that didn’t have weird rip holes in it or some kind of other strange décor. Like ribbon? Anway, cute, cosy let’s move on.

This was one of those lovely finds, a checked shirt dress. I love the colours, and I didn’t realise it came with a belt until I took it from the rail. I love a good belt. However, there aren’t enough holes, so it is basically pointless as a waisted belt. Also, I bought a size 14 which I thought would fit and it did, until I buttoned down to the hips, which is why I have left it unbuttoned. But I guess I can use the fact it doesn’t fully fit as goal to lose weight. Because I cannot be bothered to exchange it.

Lastly, we have my favourite thing. The jumper checked shirt combo. A way to look casually smart, and just like Elli. It’s so comfortable, and I love the colours of it. I didn’t realise that there is a tiny pattern of holes along the front and back, which if stretched could become a bit…revealing. But overall I really love this piece.

To accompany all the clothes, I just bought some High waisted black skinny jeans, because they are so comfortable, and some black leggings. Sense the theme. I also bought underwear but there is no way I am posting that on the blog. Maybe if you are lucky you can see it in real life 😉 No that’s not even a funny joke…

Anyway, thank you for reading this little post of something new. I hope it was a good distraction. I shall see you when I see you!

Let Downs + Sims 4

Hey there.

So I had a plan for this post. It was the traditional video upload, and I was like I will play sims because the new expansion pack was released last week and I could show my opinions. But everything has just seemed to fuck up. I've had stressful times at work. The audio of the first recording sucked. I rushed to record a second one. Have spent days recording so already missing the deadline I set for myself so it has annoyed me. So I was like well as long as it's up for when I post my blog. But no. Everything is crashing, everything is failing me. I'm at the brink of crying because it's stressing me out, because in all honesty the video probably isn't even worth the fucking effort.

I'm sorry there is nothing of interest. But let's face it. You aren't real. This is just me putting pressure on myself. So it should just be dealt with.

Hopefully something more interesting next week.

Sorry.

See you when I see you.

So here is the video. Totally not worth the wait, which is why I am not designating it it's own post anymore.

I'm Not Okay (I Promise).

Right now I feel this song accurately represents my life. Yeah I have no worries about the photos my boyfriend took, I don't really get dirty looks, and I haven't broken my foot from jumping out the second floor. But I am not okay, yet I say I am. Now that may be confusing, because things were looking up for me. I caught up with coursework, work was less stressful, I started a diet plan to improve my life, and I was sorting out my room. So as you guess from the title there is a massive but lingering somewhere. 

Well you are wrong...

However (see how I got you), this past week and a half I have been super worried about it all going kaput. Why? Because I worked a fuck tonne, so when I came home I did no coursework. Fair to me I decided to do it at the weekend. My plan, see friends for Fireworks on Friday, then crack down to sort out room Saturday and do coursework on Sunday. And it never happened. Instead I binged watched Atypical on Netflix (which you should all go watch by the way) and the most achievement I got with my room was moving my bed like a foot to the right. So I'm worried. Worried that my plan to keep on track, sort out my life is going up in smoke. And I just don't know how to be okay anymore. 

It started on Halloween. Yeah I got to dress up at work, I carved some super cute pumpkins but work was stressful to a point I got angry, couldn't explain it and just burst into tears. Then proceeded to eat like half a jar of Nutella, which when you are trying to diet isn't the best thing to do. So what happened? I felt more shit. The week that followed was just more of a shit show. Coming home stressed and just wanting to binge on food and panicking that I would not be able to get to the place I want to be. Which currently is happy. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Friday seeing my friends, yeah I was super tired and cranky but they really did help. Problem is I can't see them everyday. Same with Matt, yeah we call, but it's not the same as him physically being here to cuddle it all away. 

So what do I do, because I feel like no matter what I try I am looping back to this stage of unhappiness. And it's all linked to time. If I don't do it now, when will I do it? And the fact I am failing now means I will always fail. I have to try and get out of this mental state, but it is really difficult. And it's like do I just keep trying to keep having cycles of feeling ultimate shitness, or do I give up and think, well fuck it. But then still be upset with my life because the plans were to fix my insecurities. I just need to magically become a better human being. 

However, this isn't the entirety of my life, there are good days. Yeah I'm not experiencing many right now, and am at the point where I don't think they'll come back. But I think knowing there are good times, is why you do the thing of "I'm Okay" because you think it will just go away, not be a problem anymore. Or at least, you hope. Right now I'm running out of hope. Which is why I felt the need to post this. Because maybe blurting it all out in some nonsense text will help cleanse my mind. Who knows? 

So I'm sorry this was a really weird one, and congrats to you if you read through the whole thing. Unfortunately there is no prize. So double sorry. 

I shall see you when I see you!

DIY: Pumpkin Carving.

Yes more Halloween themed content, because you can never get enough spooks. To top this off we have my scary attempt at carving my own pumpkin which...was...well...just watch the video!

Sorry.
See you when I see you!
