Making A Difference


Yesterday I received an email from The British Heart Foundation telling me how much my donation of clothes has made. It honestly put a huge smile on my face and I just had to share this with you guys.

Back in May when I was packing up my university room these bags were pushed under my door. They were from the British Heart Foundation and were for old clothes, shoes and other things to donate to the charity.


It just got me thinking as I was packing my suitcase that I had old clothes which I had not worn ever or in a long time. They were good quality clothes and I just thought why not declutter my wardrobe. Plus the donated clothes might be able to help a few people. I ended up filling two bags filled with my clothes and I was given the option to right my address and email just so they can get in touch with me to tell me whether or not my clothes made a difference.

Anyway yesterday they sent me an email to me and told me my clothes I had donated has raised £15.56. Knowing this has put a huge smile to my face knowing that my clothes which I never wear have made that much. It goes to show you can make a huge difference by donating your old clothes.


I just wanted to tell you about this as I hope it inspires you to go into your wardrobe to declutter it and donate any clothes you no longer wear to any charity you like. You will make a huge difference and have knowledge you have given something back to this world.

Thank you for reading. I'll be back with another post tomorrow. See you then guys.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

Image
The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
