Anti-Bucket List: February

Today is an exciting day, not only because it's the end of February and I'm BACK with my second Anti-Bucket List (read the last one!) but also because today is February 29th i.e. the LEAP DAY. Now, I think that's exciting because it only happens once a year which means it's extra and have you heard this one, ladies?! Women are allowed to PROPOSE!!! (Can you sense the sarcasm?) Most importantly, Google did a really cute doodle for the leap day with bunnies. Try and tell me that's not exciting.

The Book ♥ Tag

Today, as you are probably aware, is Valentine's Day and I wanted to write something to mark the occasion. However, I don't have anything particularly original or profound to say on the subject and I didn't want to lament over single life, so I decided to turn to my real true love: books. I've seen a few people on Twitter talking about Sanne and Jean's excellent Book ♥ Tag video from last Valentine's so I thought I'd get into the act with some bookish lovin', cos that's the best kind, right? 

My Bedroom is SO Pinterest

Over the last six months or so I've been having a bit of a revamp in my bedroom. I didn't have the time or the patience to redecorate exactly but I've decluttered a LOT, changed some of my furniture (which I built myself, I hasten to add #girlscan) and added few little ~personal~ touches to make it a nicer place to be in. My bedroom is not very big and because it's both my work space and my relaxing space I wanted to make it as cosy (but clear) as possible.

Last year was a bit of a turning point in my attitude towards exercise, fitness and physical wellbeing which is something I've talked a little about before. While I didn't exactly hate all exercise beforehand, I never thought I'd be the girl that worked out for FUN. That all changed when I met my friend Adriene towards the end of 2014 and completed her 30 Days of Yoga series last January. I say "met" and I say "friend" because that's what it feels like, but it's not exactly true. Let me explain.

Anti-Bucket List: January

So, another January's gone by again as quickly as it came. It's been a very hectic month uni-wise as Januarys always are (aaaah!) but the assessment period's now over at last and I've been able to take a few days out of study to let my poor little brain recover before semester two starts next week. The brain is practically a muscle so it's only right that it should have some rest days too, days which have given me a chance to reflect.

Reunion '29

Long before I ever left school, I used to fantasise about my future school reunions. Is that weird? I don't know, but I guess it must have been the influence of American television because I'm not even sure if we have massive reunions here in little old England. Anyway, I used to imagine what ours would be like. It doesn't matter if I look like a potato now and the boy I fancy doesn't know my name, I'd tell myself, because in 20 years at Reunion '29 I'll be all grown up and incredible, and that's when I'll snap him up. They won't know what's hit them. Oh dear oh dear, Georgia. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't something I thought about a lot, but it did cross my mind from time to time, in the same way I used to imagine what my specialist subject would be on Mastermind.

New Year

A lot of things happened in 2015. Some of them were big and some of them were not so big, but I think it's fair to say (even though it's a cliché) that I'm a different person coming out of 2015 than I was going in. I like who I've become. I didn't exactly achieve great things or tick off all of my resolutions (more on that in a minute) but I think it's been a good year for ~personal development~ hooray! So without further or do, here's some things I did:
