I'd say that Graze has been a really positive experience for me! Since I'm in catered accommodation at uni, it's nice to have little snacks to keep you going between meal times, and the fact that most of these are very healthy is a huge bonus! The website is really comprehensible, making it easy to order or postpone boxes, as well as giving you the option to categorise the different snacks into "bin", "try", "like", "love" or "send soon". This way, once you've tried a snack, you can rate it on how much you enjoyed it so that you can either get rid of it or make sure you have it again! You can also cancel your subscription whenever you like, so you could order your first box to give it a try and if you don't like it you can always cancel there and then. It's relatively affordable - only £3.99 a box - plus you can get your first and fifth box free! What is there to lose?!

Have any of you ordered Graze boxes before? What did you think?

Hey everybody!

As some of you may know, my boyfriend came to visit me at university last week, which was a great opportunity to do lots of new and exciting things that I hadn't necessarily done before! One of these things was... A cocktail making class! I thought this was such a cool idea as I've always been really impressed with bartenders making all different kinds of cocktails, so it was a great opportunity to learn how they do it. I managed to pick up a copy of the various cocktail recipes, so I thought I'd share a few of them with you all so maybe you'll be able to make your own cocktails!

Long Island Iced Tea

Cosmopolitan

Limoncello

1. Mix 6 pieces of lemon with sugar and crush them together so that the lemon absorbs the sugar
2. Fill the glass to the top with crushed ice
3. Add 25ml of white rum, followed by 25ml of Limoncello
4. Mix the drink before garnishing with a slice of lime

My Limoncello!

We got up in the morning and made some sandwiches to take in a lunchbox with us, just like a cute little family picnic! The train station is pretty close to where I live, so we only had a short walk down the hill and there we were! Since I have a railcard (if you live in the UK and get the train regularly, I would seriously recommend getting one of these! 30% off on all of your journeys!), the tickets weren't very expensive at all and before long we were off on our little adventure! I always love getting the train, as it was never a regular occurrence as I was growing up on my little island, so it's a pretty big novelty for me! Plus, the English countryside is just gorgeous.

Once we arrived, we quickly made our way to the seafront (only getting lost once!) and, luckily for us, the sun decided to come out from behind the clouds, which made for quite a pretty picture!

Hey everybody!

So I've got something a bit different lined up for you today - it's my flatmate's birthday tomorrow and, as a college student, I'm pretty short on cash so I decided to put on my artsy hat and get crafty! At uni we call it a "crafternoon"... Anyway, I've seen these melted crayon canvases a lot on Pinterest and Tumblr and I made one for myself a couple of years ago and it turned out pretty well, so I thought I'd give it a go again so that my flatmate would have a funky new piece of room decor! So, without further ado, here's my DIY guide to making a melted crayon canvas!

You will need...

• A canvas, any size you want! You can get them pretty cheap on Amazon.
• A pack of wax crayons
• A hairdryer
• Either superglue or double sided tape

My messy work station!

I know I'm way behind the crowd but I've been super busy recently! Anyway, I set aside this evening for a lazy night lounging around in my dorm room eating Doritos and watching TV (I know right, I'm such a cool student staying in on a Saturday night) and finally caught myself up on Glee.

I'm totally bummed that this is going to be the last season. I've grown up watching this show since I was twelve years old and only just starting high school and now here I am, an official adult in college. I've been really excited about this final season though since all the promos look great and I'm in love with the entire original cast, so it's great that they're finally bringing them all back to McKinley! So, without further ado, here's my ridiculously over-excited review of season 6, episodes 1-3! I'm going to go ahead and assume that if you're reading this, you're also a major Glee fan and have therefore seen these episodes so don't need the entire plot explaining! However, if you're a major Glee fan but haven't yet seen the episodes then I advise you look away now just in case I ruin anything for you!

Loser Like Me

So when this episode starts, pretty much everything is falling apart for Rachel - her TV show was a bust, she's forced to move back home, her parents are getting divorced and her life seems to have no direction anymore! While I must admit that it started to seem as if nothing more could go wrong, which is a pretty frustrating situation to be in when watching one of your favourite characters, Glee turned it all around with an AWESOME rendition of one of my favourite show tunes, Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors. If you haven't already watched this, check it out now because Darren Criss and Lea Michele are just... perfection.

Aside from this insane level of perfection, the Dalton Warblers continue to be an insanely talented group (although I must admit I'm missing a little bit of Sebastian in there somewhere!) However, the presence of Chris Colfer and Chord Overstreet as main cast make up for this loss, plus the return of DAVE KAROFSKY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I won't go into major detail as to why Dave's back but talk about a plot twist and a half! I'm loving it though and I can see that Glee's mixing it up a little bit this season while also staying true to its roots. In terms of the episode as a whole, I really can't complain. Cast = great. Songs = great. Script = great. Glee is back baby!
