Day Out In York

So, I'm currently feeling like the worst blogger in the world...

I haven't posted anything in about 2 weeks and honestly I can say this without any lie, there isn't one day I haven't thought about how bad of a blogger I am for leaving my blog to die for so long, I hope you can all forgive me.
Going back to school has really taken it's tole on me and I've honestly been so busy and I've also had a really nasty virus which I still have now but I am feeling a lot better. So, it's safe to say I just really haven't had the time to do anything and I don't know how long it's going to be that way for.
I'm sure a lot of you guys will be in the same position as me and if so I really hope you can see where I'm coming from in the matter that I have had so much school work and I really just haven't been very well at all.
This post I actually wrote about a month ago but I wanted to put something up for you tonight because I felt it had been way to long and then I realised I hadn't yet put this up so this is what you're getting tonight I'm afraid! At least it's something!
I hope you enjoy it and I hope you don't all hate me for abandoning my blog for so long because I love you all very much and I hate leaving my blog for such a long time.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this post and don't hesitate to contact me through social media or through the comments because who knows when my next update will be! Hopefully not too long, mwah x



York is possibly my favourite town in the UK if I'm being completely honest. It's so cute, has pretty decent shops and it has all the history that still stands stronger than a lot of other cities. Yes, all cities have cathedrals that are years and years old but York just has a really historical feel about it and it makes me really happy. Who doesn't love York I mean come on...

I went to York on a day trip with some of my closest friends a little while ago and I decided I would do a little post about it. Slightly out of date but you guys don't mind! As always, this is a lifestyle day out type of post so there are going to be a lot of photos to explain the day really! 

The weather was pretty rubbish but you can never guarantee good weather in the UK because it's just so unpredictable, even in the middle of August. But, we still managed to make it a fun filled day, but it did get very stressful very quickly... I'll explain at the end...

So I guess we'll start from the very beginning at Newcastle Central Station at 8.30 in the morning, Starbucks in hand, of course.

And then we arrived!

I believe this is the River Ouse but I'm not a local so I'm probably wrong.

This is possibly one of my favourite parts of York, the Minster, it's just so pretty and I love it a lot.

Of course having such a beautiful photo feature meant we had to take multiple photos with it...

And into the Shambles! Possibly the cutest part of the town!

When there's a Nando's, you just have to go!

And that's about all the photos we took because it was too rainy to whip our phones out.

I hope you enjoyed this post because we had a lovely day.

Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you about our stressful end to the day! We got lost basically and caught our train with about a minute to spare. We went the complete wrong way and ended up asking multiple people, including Siri, where we were and how we were meant to get back to the train station. It was extremely stressful because I think we had all accepted the fact we were going to miss our train by the 10 minute warning for our train and we still weren't at the station. Lesson to be learnt: leave plenty of time to get to the train station.

Have you ever been to York?

Anyway, until next time! 

Love, Becca

My Bedside Table

I have wanted to do a room tour for a really long time now, but I had my room redecorated about a year ago now and I'm still not 100% happy with everything. There are pictures I want to go up etc. so I don't want to do a full room tour until I'm fully happy with it. 

However, I've decided that until I'm happy with everything, I can still show you snippets of things that I think look okay at the moment. Today I went for my bedside table/box because I had no where else to put the box so it's being the best of both worlds! I'm not 100% happy with this either, but I'm never happy with anything so I'm always going to be searching for improvement. But, here it is anyway, there aren't many things on it right now but it looks tidy that way so it's good enough! 

So, as you can see, there isn't really a great deal there, but I'll work on it! 

I'll start with the black screen in the corner that you're probably wondering why I would want a black thing sitting on my bedside table. It's actually a digital photo frame which some of you probably worked out straight away, oh well. I didn't switch it on for the photo because it wasn't really focusing on the screen and it just didn't look right but at night or sometimes during the day I'll just have this on a constant loop of loads of my photos which is really lovely because it means I can have a lot of photos on show without having cluttered photo frames everywhere!

Next thing is a book. I will always keep the book that I am in the middle of reading on my bedside table because I like to read before going to bed in the evenings, so it's just handy to keep it there. At the moment, I am reading The Kill Order by James Dashner which is the prequel to The Maze Runner. I have read through the whole series so far and this is the last one so I might do a review of the series if you would like to see that, just let me know in the comments! All I'll say now is that it's been a great set of books and I've really enjoyed reading them.

There is also a candle sitting on here which was around £2 from Primark I think, maybe £3. It's in the scent 'appletini' and it smells amazing, I can't even describe it to you. I fell in love with it when I found it and I was going to get the smaller one until I spotted this huge 60 hour one and went for that one instead! I don't really burn candles much in the summer because it makes my room really warm and I just don't really feel it's a very summery thing so it just sits there looking pretty until winter comes around again!

I have another photo frame over in the right hand corner which has a picture of me and Matt in it, who is my boyfriend for anyone who doesn't know. My gran bought me this photo frame for Christmas because I had a photo of Matt and I sitting on my bedside table already, except the only frame I had left to put it in was a friends one which he wasn't too happy about so I asked for a new one to put it in. It's just a really simple silver metal one, it goes with my room and it's a place to put the photo so I'm happy! And so Is Matt now that I'm not referring to him as my friend in a photo!

And finally the last thing I keep on my bedside table are my TV remotes because I'm lazy and keeping them anywhere else means getting up to switch the TV on, wow I sound like such a couch potato... It's just convenient to have them there really!

And that's everything that I keep on my bedside table! There's also often a drink of some description and some food sitting on there too but I kept those out of the photo because well, I'm not sure really!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you did I also have a Dressing Table tour post planned for the next few days so keep your eyes peeled for that if you would like to see a more beauty related post! If that goes down well, I may think about doing a makeup collection and storage post but we'll see! 

See you next time!

What do you keep on your bedside table?

Love, Becca

Beach Days

I'm sorry there isn't really a fashion post for you tonight, but everything I am wearing in the following photos is from Primark, literally everything apart from the sunglasses which are from TopShop so there's a very quick description of my outfit! 

I went to the beach with my 3 closest friends today and we had a lovely time since the sun has finally come to stay in the UK! 

So, I thought why not share a few photos! Sorry there's nothing special tonight but you guys know by now how I like to post about my days out, so enjoy!

And that's the best photos out of the lot! 

Hope you enjoyed joining in a little day at the beach with me! 

Love, Becca
