I’m going to NYC and Boston for the first time ever in a few days – travel is definitely really important to me in my 20s.
Also, my wonderful English friend will soon be turning into my wonderful English boyfriend and that is simply amazing :)
I know being in a relationship isn’t by any means the marker of a happy or successful life, but I do at the same time think that coming back from a year of studying abroad with a gorgeous foreign boyfriend is something worth celebrating!
So yay me! If next year ends up being even half as exciting as this one has been, I would be one very lucky girl! :)

My toes have literally never looked better – polished, shaped and shined into perfection – and so soft too!
Definitely worth it, I should have done it ages ago I dont know why I never did! It wasnt ridiculously expensive and it was definitely worth the price. It was nice to be all pampered for once :)
