Top 10 movies



As difficult this is for me, I'm going to attempt it anyway!  Here are my top movies for a few different nights in; enjoy!

Movie night the guys and gals;




What's in my suitcase?



Personally, I hate packing to go away because I am generally awful at packing and
either forget something or overpack like no-ones buisness! Here are the outfits that I am taking on a 4 day trip to Durham with the folks! Click here to see the previous post about my travel makeup and wash bag.
(And I am really sorry for the picture quality! I often leave packing until the night before meaning terrible lighting)



What's in my travel makeup and wash bag.



(Makeup bag from Cath Kidston, see here for similar)
By the time you are reading this I will be 5 hours from home, in Durham visiting old friends. I thought that this would be an opportunistic time to do a blog post about travelling with makeup and toiletries, hence the title. As I am only away for 4 days (2 of which are travelling) I don’t need to bring anything fancy so I have tried to pack as much multi-tasking products as possible. Who am I kidding, that never works!

What's in my schoolbag?




As I am in my last year of sixth form, I only take 3 subjects, averaging out to about 3 lessons each day (sometimes 4, sometimes none) so my bag is a complete lightweight. However I do carry around variations of different items with me depending on what I am doing that day.

Twitter update



Why hello there,
I just wanted to make a short but sweet post to alert you all to the fact that I have just created a Twitter account!
I thought it best to jump on the social media ASAP so here it is; www.twitter.com/longingforacity
Please follow me and Tweet me some blog post ideas... I will do my very best to reply to them all, but then again there is school to keep me pretty occupied at the moment, you know, that small hitch in an otherwise perfectly relaxing day!
But on a serious note - I would love to talk to and get to know you all! Just tweet me to say "hi" and what your favourite types of posts are, or if there are any tags that you want me to do.
I hope that you're all enjoying the olympics!
Ciao, Lauren

To begin with...



A journey,

You can start a journey with anything; a deep breath, your best foot first, a morning shower, prep talks, or just a "hello" to that hot guy that you met on the train. A journey is anything that you want it to be or anything that has been.
As for me, my journeys, I've had quite a few. I could tell you the 'ins and outs' of them all, but a brief introduction is probably best.
My name is Lauren. I was born in Durham on the 19th of May 1996 to the best parents that I could possibly ask for. I was four when we moved to Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire and spending only 8 years in its substandard infant, junior and upper school education. I met, fought and made up with my longest lasting and closest friends. By the time I was twelve we (two sisters heavier) picked up again to a small town in Somerset.
Now I live 15 minutes away from a Tesco express, Budgens and Subway. This is hardly enough to quench my thirst for the small taste of real Cities that my not-very-well-traveled-self has had.
At 17 I have had my share of family holidays and appreciate them as much as the next girl, however a 5 day school trip to New York opened my eyes to the love - hate relationship of a proper city.
I feel that I am now at the start of a metaphorical journey that I wanted to make a record of; for now anonymously (to a degree) to avoid the judging eyes of the "click" system.
However in order to end up in any of the few cities that I love I need to find motivation in something that I do. This is where my new blog comes in.
Until next time...
Ciao, Lauren
