18 Things I Learnt When Being 18

18 eh! The age at which you technically turn into an adult in the UK. Although I believe that's a bit too young but hey ho. I thought I'd share with you the things I learnt when being a new adult.

1. Your parents are always right. Just accept it, you'll thank them later!

2. Being able to go out on a night out legally wears off after a few months, you'll be back in watching X Factor in no time!

3. Your age will be brought into everything. "You're 18 now, start acting it!"

4. The future is coming whether you like it or not.

5. Getting excited for Christmas doesn't wear off.

6. Don't worry about what other people are doing.

7. Make your own decisions.

8. Relationships are not everything. Your other half doesn't define you.

9. You'll lose a few people. And gain better people.

10. Nutella still can cheer you up.

11. Nothing wrong with treating yourself once in a while, but look after your money.

12. University is not for everyone.

13. People grow up at different times in their lives, you don't have to be independent straight away.

14. £1 shots are the best

15. Don't drink the night before work!

16. You will definitely have to pay the correct train fee

17. Have fun!

18. Look forward to the rest of your life, don't dread it! 

Enjoy being an adult!

Autumn Essentials

My Autumn Essentials

Autumn is my favourite season. Not just because I am an Autumn baby, but because of the leaves, weather, fashion and environment. It's not too cold like Winter, but it's cold enough for the hats and scarves to come out. 

Fashion

My absolute favourite fashion trend is the tartan scarves. They are absolutely gorgeous and mine is from Boohoo. I feel they can make any outfit go from average to stylish. I also love beanies! I have one from Primark and although I can't pull them off. I still love them! 

Makeup

A dark lip is obviously going to mentioned here. I just love them! I am quite insecure wearing them as I am very much a nude girl at heart (oops that didn't sound right!). But as it was my birthday a couple of days ago, I received Rebel from MAC as a gift and I can't wait to wear it! It's a signature must have from MAC, I feel! However, I am partial to a cheap lip aswell, and MUA's lipstick in Shade 1 for a £1 couldn't go a miss either. 

Food

Of course it's the time for us to forget about wanting that bikini body and shaving our legs, am I right ladies or am I right? So a lot of food is essential. All I can say for this is CHOCOLATE. In particular, Roses from Cadburys, mmmmmm.

Drink

It is not the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. I haven't tried it, and I can't say I want to! I adore Whittards. They're a hot drinks company and oh my gaaaaahd, it's so good! My favourite hot chocolate is the Caramel hot chocolate. I recommend you try it ASAP. 

TV

As it isn't the time for being out in the cold right now, I see myself spending more and more time at home in bed! I have been addicted to Gossip Girl, i don't know what it is about Blair Waldorf but I want to be her so bad! 

So I hope you liked this little post, I was going to do a favourites but if I'm honest, I'd rather not as I don't give the best descriptions and terminology!

Thanks for reading :)
