JOINING THE GYM

The gym. A scary prospect for those of you who have never been to a gym I bet, that included me before I joined just over a week ago. I've been wanting to join the gym for a few years now but I never really had the motivation to go, mainly because I was scared of going as I haven't had many sporty friends who actively go to the gym on a regular basis or are even interested in sport full stop. I am interested in a few sports myself (watching, not so much participating unfortunately). I have enjoyed watching the tennis along with the Olympics and any athletics tournaments for as long as I can remember. At school, I was an active youngster, studying GCSE PE as well as participating in competitive swimming, cross country running, biking and walking with the family at weekends and long distance running in athletics. However, since starting my A Levels and moving to a different part of the country for University, I didn't really participate in any sort of exercise for around 4 years apart from the occasional jog on the treadmill if I was ever at home (which is a very rare occurrence).

BIORÉ: DEEP PORE CHARCOAL CLEANSER REVIEW

With summer officially around the corner (even though it doesn't feel like it with the weather lately!), facial skin cleansing is essential for a fresh looking face. I think dull skin is more acceptable in winter (even though I do everything I can to prevent dull skin) because of the harsh bitter winds but in summer, a fresh, dewy face is what I'm sure every female out there would prefer to have. I wanted to invest in a new facial cleanser as a change in routine every so often does have benefits which I have recently found out! After looking and researching online, I came across a brand called Bioré which I had never even seen in shops or heard of before so I thought why not give it a try?

FREEDOM!

Freedom! I have finally finished my second year of University and it's been a stressful one to say the least, first year was nothing compared to the hell of second year so I can't even bear to think what third year is going to be like with the stress of my dissertation, but for now I can have a long 4 months off which I think is well deserved!

I can finally begin to have a life again and actually blog which I have missed doing this last month because of my exams! I had a tiring 5 exams over 15 days which has worn me out mentally! So for the next few weeks, I am going to totally relax before I start to have a think on what I could write my dissertation on next year.

I have goals for summer this year, especially since I want to stay in Newcastle over the summer rather than move back to Sheffield for a few months, mainly due to the fact that my boyfriend is staying in Newcastle. I wasted my summer last year, the only thing I actually did last summer was go on holiday for a couple of weeks, however I plan on being the total opposite this year. I want this summer to be a very proactive and rewarding one! I intend to write a post all about my summer goals and hopefully get some suggestions from you guys too!

I'm just so relieved I can actually stop being a hermit stuck in my room revising all the time and actually enjoy myself. I already have a few ideas on what I want to blog about so keep an eye out!

Good luck to any of you who still have exams! Just think that summer is just around the corner.

Do you have big plans for the summer? Or do you want to fully embrace your chance to relax over summer?
