Much love,

Hello my lovelies,

Things have been a little bit hectic this past while - it seems that since my holiday everything has been all over the place.

I've had a fair bit of work to do and I'm also right in the middle of my UCAS application (nearly finished!) so it's safe to say that blogging has been the last thing on my mind.

I'm currently at a stage of winter blues, it could be due to the fact that I'm no longer living the dream in America, it could be that I'm experiencing a strong lack of money (I don't get paid until January) or it could simply be that I'm having a classic case of ''wahhhhhhhhh what am I even doing!!!!'' which tends to happen around this time of year, every year.

Those that know me well tend to know that it's nothing to worry about but to avoid me like the plague and wait until January when I eventually come out of this emotional/moody/psychotic phase.

Please note that I am not, nor have I ever been a crazy lady - though I must admit that I am accustomed to having 'mental breakdowns' similar to that of Julie Powell's in the film Julie & Julia...

Anyways, the holiday! Wow, it was amazing - the sights, the sounds, the cold.. ok, the cold wasn't that great but the overall experience was fabulous. I'm not going to go through every detail, I think I will just throw up some pictures and let your mind wander the cities on its own.

If you get the chance to visit the states, take it! Honestly, you won't regret it. Don't do a four hour bus tour of New York though, you'll regret that.

Washington DC was by far our favourite, it was so peaceful and tranquil and I could have stayed at the Lincoln memorial the whole week no problem, the atmosphere of the city was superb and everyone was so friendly!

New York was exactly how I had imagined it to be; loud, busy and inspiring - albeit it rained the three days we were there and it was -5 Degrees Celsius, but it was incredible to see the city come to life. Times Square is not to be missed and the Statue of Liberty along with the Empire State are simply incredible.

Boston was more or less a wind down to end the holiday; we only seen one day of it before we had to come home which was a shame, however it wasn't any less of an amazing city.

Ok, so I've been gone for a long time; that's because I've been super busy and on holiday! Here's what I got up to while I've been gone. A separate post on my holiday will be up soon.

Saturday 16th November saw the opening of the Continental Christmas Market here at Belfast and so of course I had to get a snoop round - I love it so much, all the scents, colours, lights - it really is a big reminder that Christmas is on it's way.

Next up on my Saturday agenda, The Ladyboys of Bangkok! Not usually my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed this show! I didn't really know what to expect if I'm honest, and I had never really bothered to do any research on what they did or anything, however with some free tickets I headed to the show with my mum and sister.

Basically the show is some-what cabaret style, with lots of dancing and singing, well, miming - however if you look past that you can sit back and simply enjoy it. There is also a lot of humour in it, mostly a little bit raunchy, but that makes it even funnier!

If you don't know anything about the Ladyboys, the clue is in the name! They're men.. or at least, they were. But they are oh so stunning as women!

Only one question remains... where do they put it?????  If you know what I mean!
