Hi there!

This is a bit of a sad time for me at the moment. An injury which I acquired around six years ago has gotten much worse; as a result of this I have had to quit my main passion in life: Dance

I have been dancing since I was two years old (I'm seventeen at the end of April), so you can see why this is quite a major thing for me, seeing as it has been something that I've devoted practically my whole life to.

It's something that has been coming for a long while but it's still terribly upsetting to have to let something you love go and I am going to miss it so so much.

But what am I going to take away from all this?

Some absolutely amazing life experiences...

 

In aid of the charity Barnardo's I have danced at both Wembley Arena and The Royal Albert Hall, which will definitely be something I will always remember!

Great Friends...

Organisation...

With all the different shows and costumes and make up and class timetables and dates I had to remember how could I not become organised?

And Talent...

 So this may sound a little big headed...but I am so proud of myself at how much I have improved in the last few years and all my achievements! And now I have a talent that not everybody can do!

It's taken me a while to write this post as I feel like publishing this is really the end for me, which may be why it's come at a weird time. But, saying that I guess we've all got to move on from our childhood eventually just mine came a little sooner than I expected...

Anyway, I want to if any of you lovely people reading this have loved and lost something as I have?

My 2013 in Instagram Pictures!

Hi there!

I know it has been ages since I blogged but literally my life has taken over at the moment; I've got a job, deadlines and a school production all to navigate! So, sadly, blogging has kind of taken a back seat.

Anyway, I have decided to kind of show what the second half of 2013 (I only got Instagram in May) meant to me through my Instagram photos!

My summer shopping addiction began early this year! and in a New Look changing room!

I think my year - no life - was made when my mum took me to the Harry Potter Studios! I was so excited I was literally about to explode!

Posted 2nd December

And less than a week later I was invited to London by none other than the producers of Harry Potter - Heyday Films!

I didn't really do a lot in the run up to the New Year after this, there were so many deadlines and overtime at work that I didn't do anything interesting to be honest. So I think I'll just leave you guys with a picture of my favourite Christmas present from my amazing boyfriend! Oh yeah and follow me on instagram - amy_caitlin24!
