It's been a while since I "attempted" a Primark Haul on my Youtube channel, nearly 2 years ago in fact! Over these last two years my Primark love has possibly tripled but my confidence to present myself to a camera in my bedroom has not, however I felt a blog post would not do a haul justice. I have thought of filming/photographing a lookbook with these pieces plus a few more, please do tell me in the comments or on my social media if you would like to see a lookbook . Anyway here is the video and I hope you enjoy!
Considering I am a full-time student and blogger, I always seem to find myself checking my twitter feed or my emails. Whilst on twitter (coincidentally) I realised that I had never talked about all the ways you guys can contact me! So here's where you can find me:
Please feel free to have a heart to heart with me, use me as an agony aunt, ask me questions or just gossip with me. I love talking with you and it really makes my day :)
Quite a while ago I auditioned for a collab channel called “AWWCollab” there was a massive response to the audition’s and many youtuber's entered. I didn’t get a place on this channel but added one of the founders on tumblr anyway because she seemed really nice and she had an awesome blog. Earlier tonight I saw a post on her blog saying that the collab channel’s Wednesday had dropped out of the collab, so eagerly I typed a message to see If I could reapply for the channel. I just got a message back from the collab and not only did they say “I remember your audition” and “you were one of the people we really wanted to pick” but they said “WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON THE COLLAB CHANNEL”. I literally freaked and stopped breathing…..seriously. I cannot thank you guys enough for letting me join this awesome collab!
I headed to Toronto for a special reason and that is to attempt the Edgewalk challenge, a walk around the top of the CN Tower (that's 1,168 ft above the ground!)
I'm attempting this walk in memory of my grandmother Maisie who suffered with Alzheimer's and sadly died in 2008, I have decided because of this to fund-raise for the charity "Alzheimers Society". This special charity works to improve the quality of life of people affected by Dementia; including myself. The word Dementia describes a set of symptoms that include memory loss & mood changes, there are also several different types of Dementia. During my own family's struggle with Dementia, "Alzheimers Society" provided us with information, care workers, equipment and most importantly gave us support when some days it all got a bit too much. I was really looking forward to the walk and seeing the CN Tower for the first time cemented my excitement. We had about 30 minutes of safety talks and checks (including a Breathalyzer, metal detector, a pat down and our harness' checked about 8 times) then it was off to the top. The view of Toronto was spectacular and exhilarating and took a while to get over! Whilst on the walk we did a couple of activities including "Toe's over Toronto", leaning backwards and forwards off the edge, and walking on the edge; we also found out that we were part of the Guinness World Records for walking the highest walk in the world (pretty exciting!).
Afterwards I met with a lovely representative from "Alzheimers Society of Toronto" named Bev. We took some photo's together for the charities facebook page and then I was treated to a refreshing ice cream (well appreciated when the temperature outside was reaching heights of about 36 degrees!)
Highlights from the Edgewalk DVD will be going up on my Youtube channel in a couple a weeks, until then feel free to check out some other video's I've made on my channel here

This week I visited Primark in London (one of the largest in the UK) and went a little crazy shopping for summer essentials! I ended spending just over £162 in the store, which I know is a lot, but hear me out? So over the Christmas period I got my first job working in a Debenhams restaurant; because it was my first job they didn't have my details, so they insisted on making me pay emergency tax (the highest tax you could have to pay). But recently they reviewed my case and refunded me £124!!!
(which to a unemployed teenager is the equivalent of winning the lottery).
Waffling over, I took my left-over birthday money and my tax refund and headed off to my nearest "Super" Primark. I recently filmed his "Haul" video on my Youtube channel, and wanted to post it here for those of you who may not have seen it or are interested in finding out what my "Summer 2013 Primark Picks" are.
