Onesie WEEK?!

So seeing as it's Mental Health Awareness Week next week, I figured I'd better commemorate it somehow. And, in true 2015in2015 spirit, it seemed pretty obvious that that way had to be by wearing a different onesie every day. What am I up to next week? Oh, only an exam, seeing S Club 7 live, an IDAHOBiT performance/presentation, Good Gestures Day. As well as school, and volunteering, and walking, and taking buses. No biggie. It's gonna be fab. Keep tuned in to see some of my exploits (and onesies!!) over the week! :)

No Social Media: Day 6

Hey there! Thought I'd check in with my no social media... Since 30th April, I haven't once looked at Facebook/Tumblr/Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat- and, so far, so good!! I've been amazingly producticve, getting loads of revision done; I spent some lovely time with my family (which happens anyway, but this time it wasn't plagued by notifications); my blogging productivity has improved tremendously; and I'm actually feeling closer to people who normally I'd speak to through social media. It's a win in every aspect!!

Vegetarianism and Social Media

Hello!! It's the last day of April today- which means that, tomorrow morning, three things will happen: I will get up without indulging in my morning routine of lying in bed checking social media; I'll get dressed in my unicorn onesie; and I'll have a yoghurt with gelatin in with my breakfast. Exciting?! In case this all sounds a bit weird, being vegetarian was my 'challenge' for this month. It's been interesting, but has gotten slowly more difficult as the month's progressed- I am so excited for tomorrow! Bacon and sweets and Milky Way yoghurts and chicken and burgers... I have missed you!! However, to challenge myself in May, I'm choosing to give up social media. That means that I won't be able to use Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr for an entire month- whaaat?! If you want to contact me, you'll have to be all old fashioned and either email or text/ring. I'll also still be blogging, though probably infrequently. Lastly, as tomorrow is the first of May, the unicorn onesie will be present. My day tomorrow includes an English lesson at one school, revision at my 'normal' school, a trip into town for a youth forum and a dog walk with my sister. Plenty of opportunities for people to appreciate the fabulous onesie-ness!! This week I have also been running a baby photo/teacher competition in my school, which has been great fun, and has contributed to 2015in2015. So far, so good!!

CLF Post-16 Quiz Night

On Wednesday, I held the first official event of 2015in2015- a quiz night at my sixth form!! Comprising of six rounds, including Dingbats, Only Connect and a music round, the questions were pretty tough, but everyone did really well, and the evening seemed to go down really well. Shout out to BS15 for coming in first place, FDA for second place and 16P for third place!
I'm really pleased to announce that we raised over £80, which is 4% of my overall target- that's amazing!! The hugest of thanks to everyone who turned up, it really meant a lot and it was amazing to feel so supported in my first event :)

CLF Post 16 Charity Quiz Night

Anyone in the CLF Post 16- quiz night opportunity coming up!! Wednesday 28th January from 6:30, in the Cabot Eye at JCA. £5 per team with a max of 5 people per team, and all proceeds go straight to Mental Health Research UK. Contact me to register your team!! Come one, come all :)

When Life Gives You Lemons, Drink Lemonade

This year, I turn 18. It's a landmark birthday, signifying reaching adulthood. In the UK, it's also the age at which I am legally able to purchase alcohol. Hence, for many people, the 18th birthday is celebrated by exercising that right- eg, going out and drinking.

I've been looking forwards to that too- I've even decided where I want my first legal drink to be, and where I want to go for my first night out. However, this year I have something bigger on my mind: the small matter of raising £2015 for charity. Therefore, I have decided that, for the whole of this year, I will not consume any alcohol. None at all. I'm asking people to sponsor my attempt (which WILL be successful!!) and to follow my progress- all support is so so gratefully received!!

That's all from me for now, aside to wish you a Happy New Year- and to make mine a lemonade :)

Unicorn Onesie Day

Yesterday, I announced (on Facebook) my plans to wear my unicorn onesie for the whole of New Year's Day, regardless of where I go and what I do. Then I thought... One '(Sponsored) Unicorn Onesie Day' is cool- but twelve '(Sponsored) Unicorn Onesie Days' are far cooler. Next year, I'm going to wear my (uber-amazing) unicorn onesie for the first day of each month, regardless of what I'm doing that day. I'm going to stick basic details of the 2015in2015 campaign on the back, so if (when?!) people stare at me, I'll be doing a bit of promotion too. For each day, I'll upload some pictures of my unicorn adventures, so make sure to check them out! If you want to sponsor my onesie efforts, you can do so at https://www.justgiving.com/2015in2015/. Hope you have a fab day xox
