Live on the radio!

Hello there!

I have certainly had an exciting week. To expand my horizons, I have been on work experience at an advertising agency called The Sharp Agency in Huddersfield and had an amazing time working with the team there, everybody was so welcoming and I learnt a lot.

This morning however, another interesting event happened- I was on the radio! As part of BBC Radio Sheffield's scheme to encourage people to 'Love where you Live', I was invited on to Toby Foster's Breakfast Show to be interviewed and asked about my youth column with the Dronfield Eye. 

Waking up at 5:30 am after five hours sleep, my feelings were a mix of fear and excitement - I really didn't know what to expect! Although the BBC journalist that had contacted me was lovely, there wasn't much time for them to tell me what I would be asked so I didn't really have a clue what I would have to say - plus, when I arrived, I was just sat down in silence and then called up to be live on radio (argh!).

However, once on air, things appeared to go reasonably smoothly, all of the team at Radio Sheffield were lovely and I stayed for a little while to watch some more of the show (I should point out that the show was in a theatre with the show on the stage and an audience of both guests and people that just wanted to watch the show) and then left to hopefully catch up on sleep!

Although I know I said 'erm' a few times, for someone like me who really doesn't like talking to new people (never mind thousands of them) I was really pleased with the way it went and I've got some great feedback form people listening on the radio at home and also in the audience.

So thank you to every one at Sharp and at Radio Sheffield for making my week such a unique experience -  it has been more amazing than I can begin to describe and certainly something to talk about on Monday when I can stay in bed until 7am!

If you'd like to listen, I'm on around 51 minutes in: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02sx2h5

Hope you've all had a great week

Challenging a Holy Grail

It's probably a bit strange that my first blog post in a while is a foundation/makeup thing. It really has been a while since I've done anything like this because, let's be honest, anybody reading this is likely 100x more experienced and knowledgable about makeup than I am after spending the year rarely wearing it. However, when I look online, I struggle to find foundation recommendations for people with similar skin to mine so I thought this might be of some use. I have very fair skin so struggle to find anything from high street makeup brands (and high end most of the time) that's the right shade as my skin, despite being pale, doesn't particularly have pink undertones, which most foundations at the lighter end of the shade range tend to have. The only foundation that I tend to buy other than the MAC Studio Fix fluid in NW10 (a tad too dark but good for going out) is the Revlon Colorstay Normal/Dry in 110 Ivory. When I first started to use this foundation, I...

What I've Been Up To

If I'm being entirely honest, not that much has happened so far this year. I haven't been to many places in 2018, instead spending my weekends at work waitressing and revising. However, as we're now 7 months (?!?!) in to 2018 and I haven't posted on here for a while, I thought I would write a post with a few of things that have been happening - or what I can think of off the top of my head.  NOTE: You might want to skim read this, I've rambled quite a bit   January  The year kicked off with trial exams as soon as we returned to school so I ended up spending all but one day of the Christmas holidays revising. I am glad that I did the revision that I did as not only did it help me enormously in the trial exams, but by the time I came to revise for my final exams, I didn't have to start from scratch with revision resources as I had re-read some of my Literature books, made revision cards and refreshed the content from the previous year. I do still think i...

13 Things I Would Tell My 13 Year Old Self

I was looking at my blog the other day and realised that one of the things I wrote my blog was about was being a teenager. I realised that this needs to be changed soon, I'll be 20 in October and past the point where I can chat about what it feels like to be a teenager . To some extent, I feel I am already past this point, I have left school, am legally an adult, can drive and live alone for the majority of the time . When I began blogging, I think I was 13 . I began this blog in 2015 but prior to it, I had another, the name of which I cannot remember and any trace of which is loooong gone . So, as I leave my teenage years, I thought I would reflect back on what is nearly a decade, in the hope that a 13 year old somewhere will read this and at least take something away from it, no matter how small . Without further ado, here is a list of things I would tell my 13 year old self . 1. stop obsessing about your weight  You've been conscious of your weight from a very early...
