The Way The Cookie Crumbles: July 2015

Hey guys, so today I tried something very different, Aqua fit.
It is basically aerobics in the water with a gaggle of ladies and it's so difficult. I went along with my mum and I was pretty glad I had because the amount of elderly ladies that were there kinda intimidated me. The chatter was real, people. But after the initial 'you're new', 'you should be good at this because you're young', small talk it was time to enter the pool.

I have been struggling for a while for a good skin care routine that won't break me out without drying my skin out. I have combination to dry skin and regularly have breakouts on my chin and nose. I have tried simple skin care, which I still love, but it wasn't doing as much as I had hopes. Therefore when I was introduced to Neutrogena I decided to give it a go. I tried some products from their visibly clear range and here are my thoughts.

I have always loved cocktails from as young as 10 I was captivated by my dad mixing colourful liquors and ice and creating an amazing drink. I wanted to be a bar tender and even got a place at a mixology school but couldn't go in the end. However, that never quelled my passion for those amazing drinks. For me, cocktails are special because they can be made from a range of different ingredients and are all made differently by every bartender in every bar. And when you find one you love it is very hard to forget it.

Now I don't know whether I've mentioned it before but I'm going to university in September and therefore I am preparing for it now. I have bought most of the things I will need, and due to the fact that I always overpack, I have accounted for every eventuality.

Throughout life you will go through many changes. From the cells dividing in the womb into a baby and then that baby growing and learning new things, like crawling and walking. Growing teeth and hair, speech and movement come next and then school. Changes between friends and family; in your feelings and to the mundane height changes. Then puberty; one of the largest changes to go through. Your body, brain and heart all change. You fall in and out of love and friends, your priorities change. Trying to find that balance between socialising, finding yourself, school and being 'grown up'. Now the change of university or moving out is upon me and it's made me rather reflective.

I have recently found out that there is a very fine line between being rude and not being pushed around, let me explain.

Up until a year ago I had a very fiery and quick temper. I would snap at almost anything and everything wound me up. Being the youngest of four it did cause quite a lot of problems to say the least. I would scream and shout as I thought that was the only way to get people to listen to me or stop being annoying. However, as I grew up and got jobs I realised that if I let everything get to me and react to situations without thinking I would be rude or even offensive in some cases.

Now some of the most observant amongst you may have realised that the blog title has changed. I am no longer the walking cliche 'New Year, New Me' but am an old english phrase '(That's)The way the cookie crumbles'. I like it and I might change it again and think it's extremely stupid but at the moment it stays.
My week's been interesting to say the least. I caught up with the bff last night which was brilliant. We always seem to talk for ages on skype and he makes me laugh way too much as well as talking about some really deep shiz. Some might say we have a strange friendship but it's ours.

So I have noticed recently that I stand on my own two feet alot. Now that sounds obvious as I am a human and I walk on two feet but I mean it in the more metaphorical sense. I rely on myself and my own ability a heck of a lot for someone who just wrote a post on not feeling good enough in the past, but let me explain.

I PASSED!!

What a feeling. All this week I have felt like I was walking on clouds. I have achieved something most adults do and have passed through the veil into the land of responsibility and it feels amazing. I'm sure when the reality of buying a car and insurance and road tax sinks in I won't feel like this but until then I will soak it all up.
