Goodbye 2015 || Hello 2016

As 2015 is drawing to a close I just wanted to share a little message with you all to wish you all the very best in 2016 and to explain a little about what has/is going on with my blog. 

2015 hasn't been the best year for me, in fact I'd go as far to say it was probably the worst so I for one will definitely be welcoming a fresh year with open arms!! I know I haven't been the most regular with my blog this year and I know I went MIA with very little explanation so I'll try to shed some light on that. I was going through a difficult, stressful breakdown of my 2 year relationship which as you can imagine was very difficult and something I didn't feel ready to talk about for a long time. It was a very unhealthy relationship and I am in a much better situation now. As I think most of you know, we both have a puppy together too so there was a lot to sort out regarding him, I do still see Luca and he is very much a big, positive part of my life. Then it's also my final year of university so that has been keeping me very busy because the work load for that is insane!! Lastly there was a lot of things that went on all around the same time which made my anxiety and panic attacks bad which resulted in me needing counselling and CBT at the mental health hospital. All of this was quite confusing and was a massive change to my lifestyle so I just needed to take a step back from everything which I hope you can understand. However, I am much better now and in a really good place with my life and have come out of it much stronger so please don't worry/feel sorry for me etc because I really am much better for it. 

I'm feeling super positive about 2016, I've said goodbye to a lot of negative people and moving forward I think this year is gonna be a good one!! I've got amazing supportive friends and family and I'm healthy and getting a degree and I'm feeling 100x better than I was this time last year. If anything I think it's made me much more grateful for what I do have. I promise I will be posting more on my blog especially after May when university finishes, it is my internet baby and definitely not something I intentionally stopped doing. Just sometimes life gets too much and I didn't want to put out half hearted content or come across as down and unhappy because I want my blog to be a happy place.

I just wanted to share that message with you as the year comes to a close because I post so much of my life on here and I feel it's only fair to explain my absence somewhat and to let you know that I'm still very much here. I also want to let you know that if you're going through a hard time at the moment then it does get better, just hold on in there and you'll come out much stronger for it, I promise.

So here's to 2016, whether you've had a bad 2015 or a fabulous one, I really hope 2016 is even better and that you all celebrate in style tonight!!

I love you all so much,

Lots of Love,

A

Special Day || Boyfriend Tag

Hellooo my lovelies,

 Bit of a personal one today but since me and my boyfriend Gary have been going out for a year today I thought it would be an appropriate time to do the boyfriend tag and test him on how well he knows me!

Before we start I'll tell you a little about us...

Gary's 20 and he'll be 21 in November, he loves all things sporty, football, the gym and is studying to be a personal trainer after the Summer. He was in the year above me at school but we didn't really know each other so we didn't talk whilst we we were at school but because we knew of each other we were friends on most social media platforms. After months of him liking all my instagram pictures, favouriting my tweets and twitter conversations about our local pizza place (Caprice) I sent him a direct message about Newcastle because he was there with his friends and me and my friends wanted to go. Twitter messages turned into texting and we randomly met in a club up town and started seeing each other for about a month. Then he asked me out on the 14th of June 2013, 14 is my lucky and favorite number which is so random because he didn't actually know this before..I guess it really must be lucky! and the rest is history! Now on with the tag..

1) She is sitting in front of the TV what is on the screen?

G-Gossip Girl or Cornation Street

A- Definitely! Coronation Street is my all time favourite I just looove it! I love Gossip Girl too but sadly have managed to get through every episode of every season :(

2) You are out to eat what kind of dressing does she get on her salad?

G-None she wouldn't eat a salad

A-So true, I'm not the healthiest guys.

3) What is one food she doesn't like?

G- Meat

A- This is true, I'm a vegetarian but to be quite honest Gary could have picked a multitude of foods and still been right because I am probably the fussiest eater you will ever meet.

4) You go out and have a drink what does she order?

G- Blackcurrent vodka lemonade

A- Yessss, Blackcurrent, vodka, lemonade is my favourite alcoholic drink if I'm drinking to get drunk. However for a leisurely alcoholic drink I love Soco lemonade and lime mmm perfection!

5) What size shoe does she wear?

G- 5

A- Spot on!

6) If she was collecting anything what would it be?

G- makeup and mac lipsticks 

A- This boy really does know me well hmm?

7) What is her favourite type of sandwich?

G-Cheese and Onion

A- Yes, it is! This was pretty simple though because the only sandwich filling in the world that I like is cheese.

8) What would this person eat everyday if she could?

G- Pizza, Cheese and Macaroni Cheese

A- Mmmm yesss anything Italian and cheesy is right up my street.

9) What is her favourite cereal?

A- Yessss and also Robyn and obv my blogging bestie Charlotte<3

G- Dancing

A- Is dancing a sport? If it is then yeah!

18) What could she spend hours doing?

G- Blog, Grand Theft Auto

A- So true my blog is my little baby and I would happily spend hours tapping away in my own world. I also really love Grand Theft Auto which is surprising since I'm such a girly girl but I think it helps me get out my road rage without hurting any actual people.
