'Letters to the lost' Brigid Kemmerer

Wow is all I can say right now. When I had finished reading this book I needed to let it sink in for a minuet because it was incredible and I could not believe I had finished it... I never wanted it to end. 

This book is a compelling love story that had so many twists and turns. The characters are so beautiful and easy to find common ground with. I found that the more I found out about the characters and their background the more it made me feel like I was with them in the book.

Before reading this book I had my predictions like you do for most books when reading the blurb, but this was not what I was expecting. I had to stop and contemplate stopping and putting it down because I couldn't bare to think of the out come.
I got to the end and was amazed that it was written so beautifully. I love the topics it touches on and the way it had me as a reader engrossed in it's incredible characters and the story line. If your a sucker for a love story 100% pick this one up because wow it was incredibly exciting.

Bridgid Kemmerer has written this so beautifully that all book lovers will find the writing easy and the connection easy to make with bother bridgid herself and the characters in the book. It's has taken a simple love story and twisted it to be one of the most beautiful bits of writing I have ever written. Just incredible.
I picked this up from the Zoella book club this one was Chosen by Chris Russell and Written beautifully by Brigid Kemmerer. It was a game changer for me in terms of reading and how literature has changed.. Was truly inspiring. 
Reading for you.

My new path...

So for a long time I've been thinking about what I want this to be and what I want to come from this blog, I have been reading so many blogs and thinking this is something that they feel passionate about and I really couldn't find something that I was passionate about but coming to ui and having so much down time I have really found something that I love and something that I am very content with. 

Books have always been a big thing for me and they have been a way of expressing how I feel, as a child I used to write all the time. Short stories or masses of pages full of crazy stories. I became obsessed with reading at the age of about 14, I was going through a lot and I found reading a massive set back for me, it made me feel good and escape from what was holding me back. As I've gotten older the love for books has gotten stronger and I read so much for pleasure.
For a long time I have been reading reviews and taking peoples recommendations on books that I should read and every recommendation I got I would buy and read but then I started branching out to find other books that were not as well know as some of the books that I had read. I fell in love with new writers and their wringing styles.

This idea all started the I saw a girl on twitter tweeting about an author I liked and her new book saying that she loved it and it was well before it was even scheduled to be released, I reached out to her and she told me about her pleasure of reviewing books and that she got incredible opportunities to read new incredible books and to pass on her views to allow other people to enjoy them. I fell in love, I loved to read and I always had reviews on my phone where I would right how the book made me feel straight after I had finished it so then I could pass it on to other people I though would like it. 
Im not wanting anything out of this just too spread my love for books and to help other people find incredible new writers and to inspire young readers. 

I will be uploading new purchases and latest reads with reviews, if you have any that you want me to read or think I should pick up please leave your recommendations I would really love that. Look out over the next couple of days for my first review... Its a good one. 
Reading for you.

Disney Mugs!!!

So yesterday I went into my favorite place in the world, yes it is the Disney store. I would just like to say that the Disney store is not just for children and in have this debate with most people mainly my family because they don't understand that if you grow up with Disney you never grow out of Disney. 

So yesterday my sister went into the Disney store and of course I was with her. Me and my boyfriend are in the possess of buying things for our house and I have made it very clear that I would like to have mugs that are all different from different places we go like my Harry Potter one I bought whilst at the studios in London and buying a Disney mug every now and again. I just think this would be such a different idea and would be so cute. 

So whilst in Disney I picked up a mug I have loved for a while and I was in mid conversation with my boyfriend when I noticed the Tsum Tsum mugs behind the counter and a member of staff mentioned they were £4.99 when I spent over £10 so as a normal Disney obsessive I had to pick another mug. 

The frozen mug.

I had been eyeing this mug up for a while and I went in to by this mug because it was the one that I wanted. Its the right size for me when i'm in the mood for a giant coffee for writing or editing. Plus it is the perfect size for dunking because I hate it when you go to dunk your biscuit in your tea and it doesn't fit in the mug so you have to break it, vain of my existence. I have to say this is a beautiful mug with lovely pictures on it. The marble detailing on it also gives it a lovely affect and anyone that loves frozen will love this mug. This mug i picked up for £7.95.

The Cheshire Cat Tsum Tsum Mug.

This is the Tsum Tsum mug I have been looking for I had already bought the Alice in wonderland one and this just made it a pare and when I saw it and knew I had to buy it I mean come on look at it, it has a tail on the back I couldn't not. What I love about this mug is that it is rounded and like a blow that holds more tea then it looks like it can. They also have a lip on the bottom so that they could be stacked, now I would have a picture of them stacked but my Alice one is packed up ready to move. They make these in so many pairs for example since purchasing these I have bought a piglet one and I am hunting for the Winnie one to mach. But how cute will these looked stacked in paired on the kitchen side. I picked this mug up for £4.99. 

The Winnie The Pooh Sketch Mug.

Now my boyfriend picked this on up for me and I did have to walk away from the stand where they had the mugs because I wouldn't of been able to pick just one more to make the purchase over £10 and he knew I have been eyeing this one up for a while as well as the Tigger one that matches it. This mug reminds me of my auntie as I grew up with Winnie the Pooh around her house and this is just another beautiful mug to add to my collection and it will be one that she gets the honor of having. It has beautiful little detail like the bumble bee on the top of the handle and the beautiful water colour looking sketches on it. It was a mug I would of picked up eventually but now I have this one I feel like I really need the Tigger one to make this a set, so it will be another trip to the Disney shop. I picked this mug up for £7.95.

I have really loved writing this and I just want to say I took pictures of the bottom of the mugs so that you could see that they were genuine mugs, now I just want to say I don't buy these often as they are really expensive this was 100% a one off and I have purchased more since but they weren't from the Disney store but they were genuine ones.
If like me you love Disney then send me links to places you find beautiful Disney stuff mug especially!! Enjoy the rest of your day, speak soon.

I'm So Sorry Guys!!!!!

Hey Guys, 

I would just like to say how sorry I am that I haven't posted in so long, my life has been go go go... As most teenagers will know school, college or university takes up a huge part of your life and makes it so hard for you to even find time to make dinner or a cup of tea never mind sit and plan a blog post. 

I remember making this blog and thinking I will make this blog so personal and bright and happy and i have only posted three times. That didn't make me feel like i had failed but it made me think that this is something i really want to pursue and is something i want to make a big thing in my life. 

After applying for university I was so excited to meet such an important man in my life and he really made me think about my future so when picking the universities he was something I was considering, could I make a life here? Could we be happily together here? Could we start a family here? I made me decision and chose a beautiful small university in the city I was born. When I got my first offer back and to see it was from this amazing university I knew this was right and it was meant to be we were meant to move to this city and start a life. I would finish college with my grades and make this right. Then christmas came and my favourite time of the year I spent the most amazing chilled day with my family and was enjoying having these amazing people around me, then something awful happened... 

Boxing day morning came and I was so ready for a good family meal even though my mum or step dad wouldn't be there i would have my other amazing family around me as well as my two beautiful little sisters. After waking up and having a nice cup of tea my nan received a phone call from my mum. She, my stepdad and my youngest sister had been in an accident and my sister had been ruled to intensive care with a ruptured liver from seatbelt damage. This ruined my christmas, I had to tell my other sister and ring my boyfriend to tell him what had happened. We didn't want to eat. We didn't want to celebrate. All I wanted to do was drink my sorrows away, after facing food into us we all went our separate ways, I went to my boyfriends, my sister went with my auntie and my nan sat and worried from her home. 

I have to say the last five months have been horrible but I am happy to inform you that my sister is at home and well after a long three months in the hospital. She has recovered rapidly and has proven how much of a fighter she is. She has given me an new lease of life and even though my college work suffered I am still on track to finish and have my grade for university. I want to do it to make my sister proud, to show her how strong she makes me, to show her the fire she has given me. I have however made the decision to have a year out and differ my offer at university for a year to have some me time and to get a house and be settled this will allow me to get a job and do things I have always wanted to do but have never had time to do them. Things like drive to new places, have a nice holiday, learn to play my beautiful piano, lose some weight and be happy with my body and to sit and write this blog like I want to. 

Even though what happened has made things hard i want to prove to my family and myself that i am tough and that with my new lease of joy and life i can do the things i want to. 

I would love for you to follow me on this amazing journey I am going to take and to see how even after a family tragedy you can get a new lease of life and do things for you and for the most important people around me. 

Thank you so much for reading, speak soon!

Tell the people you love, you love them.

Okay so this is going to be quite a upsetting/depressing thing to talk about but it has happened to me recently and it has affected me and the people around me and I feel I need to talk about it. 
One of my friends has been in a bad situation recently with his mum, she has been super poorly and I have been there for him as much as I can. My family has supported him all they could through this hard time. Sunday he came and told us she had fallen in the last 48 hours and she was on life support but she isn't responding so they were wanting to turn it off. Monday he went and turned it off. This was horrible to hear and to see how it was affecting him. 
I know this is something really personal and it must have been so difficult for him, but it really made me realise that people go from our lives so fast and his mum wasn't old she was the same age as my mum and its scary to think that people like that just leave this world without even knowing. It's horrible.

From this situation I have come to the conclusion that people who argue all the time and take people for granted are horrible. I don't ever want to argue with anyone again and when you are so far away from family or friends and you cant tell people that you love them but you really want to tell them that you love them, pick up the phone and call them. 
I am so lucky to have who I have in my life, my sister when I was 14 was diagnosed with cancer and she pulled through she was so lucky and I am lucky to still have her. There are people in this world that take life for granted and they really don't appreciate what they have and people don't live a full life and have to leave there families so early in life. 
There is nothing we can do to change other people lives but telling the people we love that we love them more often will make you feel better and make them feel better. If you have friends that you have not seen in a long time that you love and miss tell them, meet up with them, just find some time for the people that you love and the people you want in your life. Your real friends will show themselves and making sure that you appreciate them is important tell them how you feel and you want to spend time with them. Don't let it have been months and then when you finally see each other you both think, why did it take this long.

I know this isn't the best post but it was something that was upsetting me and I really needed to tell people that I know life is short but don't regret telling people you love them. You may love that person at the time and in years regret saying it but don't forget you will have affected that persons life and they will never forget you as you will never forget them. Telling that one person you love them will maybe help them when they need it most. Don't fight with someone you love and never hold a grudge if you love them tell them. You might regret not saying it one day. 

Please leave comments if you need some advice, 
All my love, Wade Wonders AKA Sasha xx

Whats In My College Bag?

As always I like to take things simple to start out so I thought that I would do a back to school/college what's in my bag. I started back at college this week and I wish I'd of known in school that people were making blog posts and YouTube videos on this would of helped me so much.

So this is my what's in my bag for my college course I'm doing Child Care and Education level 3 I did level 2 last year and it was so hard going from school and been there five years and getting used to having the same thing in your bag everyday to traveling one hour away and having to take so much different stuff. But now starting this year I know what I need to get me by and I'd like to share my knowledge with you.

The Bag
The bag is so important you have to make sure it is easy to carry and big enough to fit everything in. My bag is from Cath Kidston and I love it I have had it a year and it did me last year for college and it is still like brand new and I love it to bits. They have just brought a new design of this bag and in new patterns so if your stuck on a bag to get, get this on it easily fits one arch leaver folder and a normal ring binder and everything else.

 

 The Stationary
I know, I know you'll be wondering 'why I have two pencil cases and why I have so many colours?' I need all these colours doing child care requires lots of posters and making things so having my own colours is always good. I also like to underline in colours so I got thick and thin lined pens and then the Sharpies were on half prise at Tesco for £5.00 so I couldn't resist. Always make sure you have plenty of pens because someone will always ask for a pen and then never give I back have every essential you can think of in your pencil case you wont regret it.

 The Filing
When I was on level 2 I only had one arc leaver folder and that was enough but with level 3 there is ten times more work and it was important to find the easiest way to get my work to college. in my head I had this image of carrying three folders every day but then I found this folder with slots and I came up with the idea of writing my notes and putting them into this folder an filing when I got home. This has already in a week proven that it was the best way to face the folder situation its so easy because it fits my handbook and my paper in then I take my notes out of my paper pad put it in its slot and then file when I get home. So if your in a similar situation to what was in go and buy a folder like this its is the best thing I bought before I started college and even my friends at college has said that they are going to get one because it is such a good idea. My £3.00 folder is my life saver.

 The essentials
Everything in this picture is what I need every day (apart from the umbrella) because I travel one hour to get to college my book and a bottle of water are the most important for that hour. Such a long bus journey it can get stuffy so body mist and perfume is 100% needed through the day. My purse holds my ID, my college ID, bus ticket and money just what everyone needs to get by in the day. I always need my glasses at college reading from books and off white boards so they never leave my bag. tissues are needed at the moment because I have the worst cold ever so I get through like ten packs of these a week. If you live in the UK you will know how temperamental the weather can be so an umbrella is always in my bay even in the summer, Yes it can be that temperamental
 

 

 The Needs/Wants
My make up bag is my work I bought this for £2.00 off amazon and it is amazing it has my everyday make up needs and I take it everywhere you never know when your going to have a bad day or someone else is going to have a bad day and hadn't planned thinking it could be. I always take this with me and I always seems to be the one day I forget to put it back in my bag is always the day I need it. If you feel you need to take something like this but worry for space find a small bag and take what is most important don't worry about space throw it in the bottom of the bag if you need it that bad but don't have a bag small enough. If you need it take it.


I hope this helped you and gave you a little incite to what is in my bag. Don't forget to leave comments telling me what you'd like me to do next week. It might be a home haul because I'm moving rooms in my house and I'm re decorating and I get to go and buy new betting and décor so I'm supper excited. Thank you for reading it means a lot.
