My Current Travel Bucket List

I love to travel and explore, travelling is something I have been doing all my life so I wanted to make a post of all the places I wish to travel in the future!

A lot of of the things in my list are based in the UK, because the UK is a beautiful place to explore and I think people forget about all the places to go other than the big cities. Castles have always fascinated me so I'm happy to explore any castles thrown at me.

• Visit all the castles in the UK
• Visit the Vatican
• Visit Venice 
• Travel  around the British coast line 
• Go to the Harry Potter Studios
• Go and see the Gaints Causeway
• Go and see the northern lights
• Track mountain gorillas 
• Go to the Fiary chimneys of Cappadpcia 
• Go to Hobbiton in New Zealand (and New Zealand in general)
• Visit Red Square in Russia
• Visit Japan 

I love exploring cities whether they are sprawling cityscapes or more quaint towns, I enjoy looking at the architecture in big cities just as much as I enjoy finding book shop tucked away in a rustic town.

Places I have visited in the past:

Kalkan

Falmouth

Ireland

My First Time | Gym Experience

I planned to have this up days ago but the gym and Naruto have stood in my way!

Being quite an anxious person the thought of going to the gym scared me to death, it had nothing to do with exercising because I enjoy it, but merely the thought of being in a room with people I didn't know and using equipment I didn't know stopped me from attempting.

What if I make a fool of my self on a machine?
What is I trip up and face plant the floor? (totally plausible with my luck)
Wont all of the gym goers watch me and judge me?
What is I break something? (myself, somebody else or some equipment)
What happens if I get stuck in the pod? (Pure Gym people will understand this)

With all that in mind I was happily living behind my macbook at home but my family joined forces and signed me up anyway, so I trudged along with my brother and came out unscathed so here is the story of my first gym escapade... Wow I've gone all Agatha Christie on you!

So really this story is quite simple! The gym is awesome, my brother showed me around, it is really big and spacious so you aren't treading on anybodies toes and all of the people are really nice will help you with anything if you ask.

On my first night I really just tried a bit of everything my brother happily dragged me around getting me to do lots of different exercises and when we turned to leave he had a grin like a cheshire cat as he proudly told me "TOMORROW IS LEG DAY".

To be honest I like leg day but thats just me.

Here are some of the thoughts that went through my head on the first night:

• Why are these so many mirrors EVERYWHERE?
• Who in hell thinks of how to build these machines and how they will work?
• Wow how long did it take for that person to get muscles like that?
• Well that is an interesting colour combination you have gone for, where did you find that shirt?
• Just breath, keep running just two more minutes (looks at time on the treadmill) damn you've only been on it for 3 minutes I can't give up now.
• Is that really how that machine works?
• Water I need water...
• There is no way I can do that!

At the moment I don't have a huge weight lost strategy or crazy diet planned I just want to get into a routine and get fit, then decide if there is anything more I want to do.

Also im not just throwing the gym in your face, you don't need a gym to keep fit I used to and still do work out at home, the gym was just a way for my family to get me out of the house because I'm a hermit who lives on my laptop.

I hope you all liked this post feel free to get in touch or comment!

Thank you for reading!

Ps how awesome are mine and my brothers shoes! The brightest in the gym.

DIY Ring Box!

Over the recent year I have been buying more and more rings, especially now you can by sets of midi rings, but I wanted some where to put them as my ring draw in my jewellery box was getting over crowded. So I decided to make a ring box and I thought I would share with you how I made it!

 



This is the finished product!

Step 1: first I found a box that I likes and used electrical tape to seal off the openings! You can use any tape you want, I just had electrical tape on hand at the time.

Step 2: Next I used an old Primark bag and PVA glue to completely cover the box, I got my PVA glue from poundland, its a really big bottle and works really well.

 

Step 3: once I had covered the box in the brown paper, I then covered it in white tissue to make sure it can be painted over easily.

Step 4: Next I then began to measure and mark out the possible size I want to cut out for the lid.

 

Step 5:once the glue had dried I painted it orange using a tester pot of orange wall paint.

Step 6: when the paint had dried I then double checked the measurement, which showed through the paint and cut out the lid using a Stanley knife ***these knifes are very sharp and I advise that if you aren't confident using them or if you are young then please get somebody else to cut it for you, preferably an adult! .

Step 7:once the lid was cut I covered the edges with the white electrical tape because I hadn't cut it very neatly....

Step 8: next I used my glue gun to make an out line around the edges of the box which I then painted white as well as adding a pin in to the front covered in the same way with a piece of twine glued to the top to make a closure.

Step 8: once the outside was complete I then cut a sponge to the right size, and cut slits in it where I will be putting my rings!

Here is the finished product...
