LIFESTYLE | Things I'm Glad to be Alive For

Hello my lovelies, I hope you're all well and have been having a fab start to summer. I know it's been a while since I last blogged but the last term of uni was so hectic and busy that I'm only just getting back into the swing of blogging and doing things that aren't uni work. I'll do an update post about uni and life etc if that's what you guys want? Just let me in the comments. 

This post I am sharing with you guys today was actually inspired by a new blogger who I met on Twitter a couple of months ago. She did a post titled '50 things that I'm glad to be alive for' and after I read through that blog post I got really inspired and wanted to do my own version, so that is what I'm sharing with you today.

Please go and check out her version because it is absolutely lovely! And I really enjoy her posts in general, so definitely check them out, click here.
