I'd flee this town, i'd bed my dreams underground...

Beirut - Elephant Gun

Hey guys!
So this is our last post for a while now. It's sad but needed as we're both heading off to University. Well, Paloma's already there and has been for a long while and i'm missing my partner in crime stupidly. I'm leaving in exactly a week today so I'm excited but not looking forward to the long car journey and most of all leaving my cosy home for a new 'family' and cold small uni room.

This week is a bit of a hectic one for me, with all this packing and having a complete life change but it's nothing compared to how Paloma's freshers went. From seeing Scouting for Girls to going clubbing every night, my little chick was super exhausted at the end of Freshers Week. But now she's hard at work going to lectures and has already been assigned her first essay :/

My life is pretty chilled other than the idea of Uni approaching quickly. Going out with my favourite people and waving old friends good bye, its been great and really made me realise what I will miss in Lancaster.

So as our final post...not really final...but you know what I'm trying to say, thanks followers, good luck with everything you're all up to and speak to you all soon.

Hey Guys!

So we haven't been up to much recently, which explains the lack of posts, we've both been hermits revising. Paloma's got an exam on Monday, she'll do great, but keep your fingers crossed for her :) we've both got our english exams on the 6th which HAVE to go well, my mind is entirely quotations right now.

We did you something quite exciting, you could say… we went to see Arctic Monkeys play at Finsbury Park with some of our true faves, Royal Blood, Miles Kane and Tame Impala. It was officially the best gig ever, we were right at the front! Felt as if we were in touching distance of Alex Turner. There were so many mosh pits, which we love and the best music to accompany some of our mad dancing.

I couldn't recommend seeing all of these guys highly enough, they're all incredible live and really work the audience…even if it is to the extent that I get a black eye, at least its a memory :P

Speak to you all soon!

Hi there!
Another apology for lack of posts, they seem to be getting quite regular :(
We've both been knuckling down to revise over the last month, but by the 16th of June, it'll be over for both of us, we cannot wait!

We've also been organising our joint 18th, although Paloma's Birthday in August, and mine was in April, we had to have a party together.
If you've read our blog for a little while, you'll be able to see that we love fancy dress and spend weeks in prep for our costumes. After much deliberating, we decided on a Fairytale theme, this includes Disney, Hans Christian Anderson tales and Grimm Brothers tales! It sounds like an 8th party not an 18th.

Today we took a break from revision to start getting our costumes together. Paloma is going as Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notredame and I'm going as Thumbelina (the traditional character, not the disney, they ruined that for me)
What would you guys go as?

Lots of love, Jess xxx

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delay in posts, we've both been ill recently so haven't had a chance to take any snaps. Also, i'm in rehearsals for my drama A2 practical examination which is on Thursday, therefore have been roaming around in my trackies a lot, which doesn't blog too well.

The sun came out again today, which was a lovely change from chilly and humid weather. We both got our dresses out again, Paloma's teamed with a leather jacket - a smart move to layer when you live in London. I on the other hand went full on summer and dragged out the sunglasses which haven't seen a blog post yet - I love raiding my mum's wardrobe :)

Some exciting news for us, we have got the contract through for our prom! It's all sorted, now all we need is for everyone to pay up and start committing to it! We are both so excited to get dressed up, typical girls.

I hope you're all well,
Jess xxx

 P.S - We've been invited to lots of blogging events in the Easter hols, keep checking the blog for future posts.

 Hey Guys,
So Spring is here, sun is out and we're loving the spell of gorgeous weather… or so we thought. Today we both came into school thinking it was going to be yet another glorious day in London Town, we were wrong. Dressed in skimpy chiffon and jersey, thank goodness we decided to wear opaque tights, we were freezing as we had to battle with the elements dressed like it was summer!

It's a serious problem us girls have to deal with, to brave a dress or not to brave a dress, boys luckily don't have that dilemma. Fingers crossed the warm sunshine will be upon us very soon, we've started to miss it already.

All this talk of summer is getting Paloma and I really excited about our holiday this year. A load of us are of to Benicassim festival in Spain and during the little study breaks we have, we're browsing the internet looking for skimpy bikinis and shorts to brave the heat, especially when camping! Wish us luck
Love, Jess xxx

Little Darling, it feels like years since it's been here, here comes the sun...

 Hey Guys,
So a couple of posts back I said went to Liverpool to audition for LIPA (a performing arts uni/drama school) and I received a recall. Well, this weekend just gone was the weekend I could become a tourist again in one of my favourite cities.

I had such a fun time roaming the streets taking numerous snaps with my Olympus Epm-1 round my neck and having a blast in movement, acting, vocal and speech workshops in LIPA itself.
Although I received a place on LIPA's foundation course, I realised it wasn't for me and i'd much prefer university - Exeter or Lancaster, decisions decisions!

It was such a lovely sunny weekend spent with my lovely parents who I dragged along, as they 'had to see the city', which I kept on reminding them since my last visit. 

I definitely recommend visiting Liverpool even if its just for the amazing architecture or numerous shops - yes, I managed to find plenty of 'zen' shops :)

Lots of love, Jess xxx

How do you like your eggs in the morning, I like mine with a kiss...

 Hey guys, 
So we've both been under a lot of stress recently, prom is finally coming together after an entire day frantically calling venues (with pancake intervals), coursework stresses and of course the social and work life balance. Does anyone have any de-stress tips? we definitely need some help :)

The only thing getting us through the pressure is the beautiful british blue skies. Finally the sun is poking through the clouds and we can see some rays…oops don't want to jinx it!
Have any of you got any days out planned in the sunshine? I'm off to Liverpool for my LIPA recall audition this weekend, so its highly possible that I might completely miss it :(

Happy Shrove Tuesday by the way! Pancakes are so easy and of course tasty, i've had 10 in total, i'm so gonna regret it, but they were lush while they lasted. Paloma and I had an early start today so for fuel for a busy day we flipped some pancakes to some 80's tunes, perfect wake-up routine.

Love, Jess xxx
