Welcome back, today I’m going to discuss everything I read in June. This month I read 7 books and a total of 2360 pages. Like last month, June has been a bit of a mixed bag in terms of genre, we have some contemporary, some YA, and a biography.
Without me blabbing on any longer, let’s discuss what I read in June!
I’ve just finished my final year at Cardiff University, but what you may not know is I got into Cardiff through UCAS clearing. Having finished my degree I feel I have a good perspective on the clearing process all the way from in the moment on results day, to what it actually means once you’re at university.
My clearing experience on results day was traumatic to say the least. So let’s go back to 2016 and start the story there.

We’ve been in lockdown in the UK for over two months now, and whilst lockdown restrictions have lifted slightly, we still cannot meet up with our friends and family in the ways we are used to. As time has gone on my friends and I have got creative with different ways to socialise over the internet.

Hey! I’m going to talk you through everything I read in May 2020.

It’s that time again, I’ve tested out everything in my October Boxycharm and now I’m going to tell you my thoughts! Overall, I was impressed by the selection of products in this month’s box, however, there was one product I had some issues with so read ahead to see which one didn’t live up to my expectations!
VIEW POSTI’m in my third, and final year, at University now, which I think makes me a good candidate for spilling the dirt on what being an English Literature student is really like! From how much reading the degree actually consists of, to what essays and exams are really like I’m the girl who’s about to tell you it all!
It would be fair to say that I love beauty products and am always excited to try new things out! That’s why I’m a fan of subscription beauty boxes, it means that once a month a host of products appears at your door and you don’t have to even search for them! Someone else has done all the work for you!

I’ve been a fan of Colorpop cosmetics for a while now, their cheap prices and amazing formulas make them a hard cosmetic company to resist. When I was a little younger I would order loads of their liquid lipsticks to my Dad’s hotel every time he visited America for work, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try out some of their other products now that I myself am living in Los Angeles (if you don’t follow me on Youtube, Instagram or Twitter you may not know that I recently moved to LA for the remainder of 2019 – I shall write a post on this soon!).
VIEW POSTTW: Vomiting
I was diagnosed with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, also known as CVS, when I was 17. I created this blog post to share my experience with the illness and to hopefully reach some people that have been newly diagnosed or are struggling to get a diagnosis.
CVS is a rare illness, that normally presents itself in children, where the sufferer experiences repeated, and or prolonged episodes of vomiting or nausea.
Personally, I have suffered from prolonged episodes of vomiting that occur relatively frequently, as well as a lot of nausea.
