Growing up gay is hard enough as it is, as is growing up in the southern part of London, with its bad reputation. Putting both together can only lead to terrible things right? For the beginning of my time growing up I had always experienced levels of bullying for being gay in both primary and high school, which often made my confidence drop and distracted me away from my studies. I would often try to stay home because of "sickness" but then get home and be absolutely fine. I would do this out of fear of another day coming, though at the time I would literally be so in fear that I would feel ill inside. During my sixth form time was a lot better. There was still a little bit of fear in the back of my mind, however I was comfortable enough to come out, not only to my friends and the ones who supported me, but also to come out to my teachers who also helped me along my journey so much. During the time of having my first "real" boyfriend, I would often be more...

Hey there you guys! I wanted to bring you along through a typical day in my life. Often you do not get to see the ins and outs of what happens when I'm not on the camera or when I'm not writing a blog post, so I thought I'd make an attempt to journal down a typical day within my life. 7am, the time that my alarm deafens me. Now often I am too lazy to actually wake up so tend to nap again for a little bit. Once I eventually get out of bed, I will go downstairs to grab myself something to eat (usually two cereal bars) and my morning tablets (Multivitamin, Acne tablet, hay fever tablet & Vitamin B6), which I will then take upstairs with me. I will either scroll through my social media or have a little reading session (Currently I am reading The Death Cure) whilst I am eating my breakfast. Around 8:30 I will run to the tram stop around the corner and get the tram into work. I work in QA for a telephony company from 9-5:30. I usually tend to try and go out around lun...

So there comes a time in your life where you make the big choice. Do I go off and follow the crowd into University? or do I go into the wide world of work? Either way you choose its a huge choice in your life, and I am going to be speaking about the apprenticeship route as I am educated on this route having taken this myself. Before I start I just want to say that this isn't a post to directly say don't go to university, it is simply a post outlining some of the benefits which I have personally found from doing an apprenticeship. Straight of the bat, you have to remember that an apprenticeship is an opportunity to get yourself into the world of work and actually prove your worth, which nowadays is incredibly difficult. With majority of jobs asking for x amount of years experience, which is near impossible to get, it becomes increasingly difficult to even get yourself seen anymore. Being on an apprenticeship gives you that opportunity to work in a specific sector, which for...

Hello there people! As many of you will know, I am currently working as an IT apprentice for a software company. Just this morning, I was offered a full time position once my apprenticeship runs out which I am super excited for! I will be working as a full time Support Agent. I purely wanted to write a short blog post on this just to inform you guys of what is happening in my life right now and also to let you know that if you work hard at something, you can achieve anything! Have a great week guys! <3

With summer fast approaching, and I for one have definitely not achieved my body goals! We all have our own summer body goals, but often finding the motivation to actually achieve that lacks! That's why I'm here to talk about and review three different apps which I have been testing out for the past week! Moves   The first and probably main app of them all is called Moves. This app I actually found one day while browsing through facebook and noticed that they had a little connect icon for Moves in their side menu. So what exactly is Moves? Well, Move is quite the generic free application for fitness, but it essentially works in the background to monitor your step count, the routes you've taken, active time, calories burnt, all of this in a simple to view and understand display.  You can use this to track how your active times weigh up to your not so active times. It also allows you to set exactly where you are at any given time, so if you are at ...

Hair. The one thing that can go either oh so wrong or oh so right. But let's be real for a second, how often does yours actually go right? Hardly right? or is that just me? Anyway, we all need to look around and find some of those killer products to boost the luxuriousness of having soft and silky smooth hair. Well, that's where I come in. I'm going to be reviewing three of the 7th Heaven hair masques! Pulped Papaya Rescue Masque The first masque I thought we would have a look into is the Pulped Papaya Rescue Masque. Now like most of 7th Heaven's product range, these are a small sachet which retails for £1, so it already before even starting has a good point to its name with that. This masque, of course, is made from papaya, but also contains pulped avocado and pulped coconut which the combo sounds extremely nourishing for your hair. The steps are simple to follow, wash, apply, relax and rinse. These hair masques all recommend a 1-5 minute waiting period...

As many of you may or may not know, Manchester Arena was bombed last night during an Ariana Grande concert, killing 22 people and harming many more. I just wanted to pledge my absolute heartbreak for those families and friends of those who lost their lives. Losing someone close to you is such a difficult thing to have to go through, and just know that you're not alone, you have thousands of people standing behind you. I also just wanted to mention upon hearing of this attack and the aftermath of it, we must remember that the attack was a horrible experience for all of those involved, however, we must not let this tear us apart as a community. Let us not turn on those who are Muslim, it is not their doing. Terrorism has no religion! So please, if you see anyone using this as an excuse to bad mouth any Muslims near you, please put them in their place. Let us grieve for those who have been lost last night, and pray for those who are fighting for their lives because of this, but a...
