Just a little update....

AARRGHHHH I'm so excited!!! I have been saving for over 6 months, including Christmas and my birthday and I finally got enough to buy my GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition!! I am so happy and can't wait to use it, so you can expect some different types of pictures now. Underwater, skating, surfing... Whatever I feel like! The happiness is over flowing hahah. This is just a little update post, but I though I should let you guys know. If you don't know what a GoPro is (like the guy in Halfords when I bought it) I will add some pictures so you can see.

Queen of Procrastinating

I am the Queen of procrastinating, but the sad thing is that eventually it all catches up on you, and today was the day to tackle it. I did 4 hours of course work and just got so fed up with everything I had to just get out the house, so I took my camera and went down to the beach. It has been a really over cast day today, so I didn't want to take pictures which focused on how the light was because I much prefer taking photographs (especially on the beach) when it is bright sunshine.  Instead I walked out across the rocks and crouched down to get pictures of the waves. I had to try and time these perfectly because otherwise I would have had a wet bum and got water in my wellies. I am pretty happy with how they look, it's the kind of thing where I took so many pictures, but only get a few decent ones because I just sit there with my finger on the shutter and take about 7 pictures per wave, and usually only 1 will be okay. I hope you like them, it reminds me that it doesn't have to be summer to take lovely photographs on the beach.

Bracelet splurge....

Hola, so it has been some friends birthdays recently and I was looking around for presents when I came across this really cute website called Puravida bracelets. It is a company that sells loads of different types of bracelet, in all different colours at really cheap prices. The best part is that every bracelet that you buy helps to provide full-time jobs for people in Costa Rica. It is an American company, but has shipping to everywhere and will come within 5-7 days, so it isn't like a 2 month wait for something you are really excited about. They also do bracelets which are made specifically for many many different charities, where all the money goes to the specific charity. I think it is just such a great idea and I think their products are just so gorgeous!!

I have bought 5 in total, but only 3 are for me because I have friends to give them too. I got all original bracelets because I liked the style best, and one charity one. I got the "Sunset Surf Session" which is made up of pinks and oranges, then "Out n About" which is purples and blues, two "Coral Reefin" made up of lovely blues and greens and then my charity one was for the Self Injury Foundation and is made up of different shades of orange.

I think they are so gorgeous and affordable, you should definitely check them out online and on Instagram. I know this isn't a normal post, but I just had to mention it because they are so great, plus, you get 50% off at the moment! These kind of things just make me wish for summer even more, it can't be that bad to be excited already haha.
