Hair & Beauty

• Crazy Colour 'Peacock Blue' - I got my half-shaved head dyed this colour earlier in the month and my hairdresser advised me to get my own bottle of this as a top up. It's a really vibrant turquoise and after a couple of washes to soften it, shines like the Mediterranean Sea!

• Lush 'Seanik' Shampoo Bar - I'll be honest, this is one I haven't used yet. I considered it a worthy investment, since I've been told they outlast some bottle shampoos. Plus, it's a naked product - with natural seaweed, lemon oil and sea salt, it smells A-MA-ZING.
• Garnier 'Micellar Cleansing Water' - Having used this once at my friend's house, I realised what a good uni investment this would be. It not only outlasts makeup wipes by a country mile, but makes me skin feel fresh, without drying it out. I'm using the one for combination skin and over the past few days have noticed a slight improvement in oil control.

Home & Kitchen

• Primark Home - Call me stupid, I had no idea this existed a month ago. A whole new world was opened up to me when I took the escalator to the top floor and low and behold were teatowels, coasters and rose gold over-the-door hooks. Jackpot.
• Asda - Don't discount the humble supermarket for the homeware bargain. I picked up a 50s inspired duvet and pillow set for just £5 - perfect for us uni-goers!

Music & Lyrics

• 'Lifeline', Orla Gartland - Oh my goodness is this girl talented. Another song I'm thinking of covering, Orla has such a way with music and technology - she made the track with a loop pedal and it sounds awesome. I genuinely can't get enough of this track, so check it out righty HERE!
• 'Violet', Hippo Campus - This is definitely my summer jam! It's really airy-sounding and reminds me of having barbecues and water fights. Plus the band is called 'Hippo Campus' what a cool name! Check out their song and the rest of my summer playlist righty HERE!

A little something different for you today. Crazy, but this post is among the final few posts I will write in my bedroom. Granted, it will still be my bedroom when I move to university, but it won't be the "original" bedroom... if you see where I'm going with this! There's a slight connection between that and the theme of today's blog post, which is a little life update, to share with you my plans of action for the coming months.

1. I am starting university!

2. That means... I'm moving out!

3. Work

4. Let Me Read

5. Bullet Journalling

Future Goals

• Passing my driving test
• Discovering new authors
• Decorating my dorm room
• Making new friends
• Falling in love... possibly... that one might be a Disney fairytale!

So let's see which tracks make the cut under the following categories...

➳
1. Song for when you're happy - 'So Much Better' (Legally Blonde) No better feeling than home alone broadway belting and pretending I'm a blonde bombshell.
➳
2. Song for when you're sad - 'Is There Somebody who Can Watch You' (The 1975). Lying on my bedroom floor, this song is almost comforting to me when life's got me down.
➳
3. Song to play at your wedding - If my partner is as epic as I want them to be, we'll write our own wedding song. But if we're a little bit mismatched with our music, 'Once Upon A Dream' from Sleeping Beauty hits the spot nicely.
➳
4. Song for dancing round the house - 'Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee' (Grease). Pftt me? Knowing the entire film choreography and pretending I'm Rizzo on my living room sofa? Must be thinking of somebody else...
➳
5. Song for when you're angry - And speaking of 'Somebody Else', this The 1975 classic is my pick for this one. I like to belt it out on the piano... cheeky link to my YouTube cover below!
➳
6. Song you play through your headphones while you're out n' about - 'Don't Rain On My Parade' (Barbra Streisand). I'm not even going to pretend I'm not strutting when I've got this in my ears. The pavement is my catwalk.
➳
7. Song you'd have at your funeral - 'For Good' (Stephen Schwarz' 'Wicked'). I was tempted to be completely satirical and say 'He Had It Coming' from 'Chicago' but I figured my family might have an issue with that.
➳
8. Song that makes you lose your sh*t at a party - 'Chocolate' (The 1975) I agree with Hollie on this one. It's the song that makes us both go YAS when it comes on in the car.
➳
9. The last song you listened to - 'Lifeline' (Orla Gartland). Her talent is insane, please take a listen!
➳
10. Karaoke jam - Now we're talking. I take my karaoke very seriously but most times 'Don't Rain On My Parade' isn't suitable for a dingy pub at 6:30pm. If pushed to sing something other than musical theatre, I shout 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' as a simple song I love to sing.
➳
11. Song for working out/exercising - 'A Little Easier' (Leddra Chapman). I do lots of dance-based exercise, lots of stretching and yoga. Leddra's music is light and airy making my workout sessions a lot like summery fun... when I'm not in pain. This song's kick ass enough to make me feel like a boss while I'm working out.
➳
12. Song with the most memories attached - 'Crazy In Love' (Beyoncé ft. Jay Z) I remember choreographing dance routines to this as a child. Back in the day when Barbie made compilation albums and that was Track 1 on the CD.
➳
13. Song that makes you cry - 'Songbird' (Chrissy McVie/Eva Cassidy version). I have always loved this song, the music just instantly makes me emotional! Sorry for the self-promo again but here's the cover I did over on my YouTube channel...
➳
14. Song you hate the most - 'Despacito' (The Justin Bieber one). I'm not even going to apologise for how ridiculously overplayed and stupid this song is. I somehow managed to escape the Bieberlicious phase all my friends went through.
➳
15. All-time favourite song - 'One Normal Night' (Andrew Lippa's 'The Addams Family). Lippa you're an actual genius and I love you. Listen to this my fine reader. It's an absolutely sensational track.
➳ 
Thanks to Hollie for tagging me - I had lots of fun! I'm going to tag my good friend Hasina, who is thinking about starting up a blog. Well, now you have to - get writing, and remember...
