On the 9th May, I turned 22! it came around so quickly but I had such a fab birthday. Thank you to anyone who wished me a happy birthday. If you follow me on instagram then you might have seen insta stories from my birthday. One thing I did on my stories this year was 22 things I have learnt in 22 years. I had a lot of DM about some of the things I had learnt and a lot of people seemed to love it. For those who don’t follow me on instagram (you probably should, lol) I wanted to upload this post for you, but also for myself to look back on. 

I had a fun little photo shoot going on when we went for afternoon tea. My jacket is such a bright neon pink that it actually glows alot in the picture. – this is my vibe right now so let me live.

“Be nice to everyone as you don’t know what they are going through.”
