Just Give Me A Reason
Hello Hello
Okay so I apologise for being so absent and only blogging in chunks recently, it’s just I am going through a bit of a rough time at the moment. As I have said previously I am not at all ready to reveal what’s been going on to everyone but may be in due time, I may do a couple of posts on some of the things that I have been going through.
With that said I thought I was just provide you with a quick post, about a current song I literally cannot stop listening to. Unlike me, it is a pretty mainstream song that I think has been number 1 in the charts but with a little shame I simply cannot stop listening.
It’s Just Give Me A Reason by P!nk, and I simply cannot express how excited I am that she has returned into our lives!!

Unfortunately I cannot add the actual video so have inserted the link and hopefully will be able to correct it later in time.
Sorry for the technical mistake!
Until Next Time

Just A Thought…
Hello Hello….
I’m due back at University today (short break I know,) and the whole prospect of exams and passing first year kind of got me thinking. I’m pretty sure everyone is well acquainted with the saying, ‘As one door closes another one opens’. Well if that is a case then surely if you try something but it doesn’t work out, then it can’t be classed as failing? Surely every attempt you make at something is just another lesson to be learned, and should open you up to look for other opportunities? Perhaps that thing you didn’t succeed at, is simply just a sign that you weren’t heading in the right direction? I don’t mean in terms of religion or faith, I mean in terms of yourself. What’s right for your personality. And what you want to grow into as a person, to ultimately succeed in life and be happy. Surely that’s what everyone wants? So next time you don’t succeed at something, or something doesn’t go quite to plan, don’t give up. It’s not failure. Either try again or look and find that other opportunity that is probably staring you right in the face.
It’s just a thought for this Monday morning….

Year Course #1
Hello Hello
The other day I had little writers block, mainly because I was a little bored, of doing the same posts over and over, and I don’t know, maybe that’s what is required from a “Beauty Blog”? Maybe it’s not, I’m not sure however I don’t think there is a rulebook that a blogger has to follow, and after all I just want to use this place to share. So as I suffered from this block, my sister suggested I write a post on my gap year, and the program that I did. I liked this idea so I thought I would start a weekly feature, writing about my gap year. Unfortunately due to ill health I left my gap year early, so I may get a friend to write a post on the last few months of the program, we’ll see.
Taking a gap year was always something that I wanted to do, however it never really became something that I was definitely going to do. That was until my final A-level year a school was a massive disaster, and just wanted to get away. I didn’t get into the University I had applied for, and to be honest I didn’t feel ready to go to University, so my efforts to get a place to start the year we extremely minimal, in fact more non-existent.
Instead of staying in Leeds, I decided I wanted to go away for the year, and Year Course was a program run by my youth movement FZY, which I had heard about before, and had known others that had taken part.
Year Course, is a 9month gap year program run by the British Youth Movement FZY, and the American Youth Movement, Young Judea. The participants are flown to Israel for 9 months, to live, learn, volunteer and experience the Israeli culture.
In my year due to the rise in university fees, there was only 6 Brits on the program. There was around 240 Americans, 2 Israeli's and 3 French speaking participants.
The Program is split into 3 sections, and each section rotates at the end of roughly 3 months. My section was Section 1 (also known as section Wonderful / Weird) and we began our journey taking classes and volunteering in the capital Jerusalem. Next up was Bat Yam, a city next to Tel Aviv, which we spent volunteering, but carrying on with our Hebrew lessons. Finally, we were based in Arad, which is in the desert. In these three months you got to choose whether to volunteer in Arad, live on a Kibbutz (A communal settlement in Israel, typically a farm,) or take part in a program call Marva, -a program in the Israel Defence Forces that allows young Jews to learn and experience the basics of IDF and Israeli life. Unfortunately I left in the middle of the second section due to illness, but I would have taken part in the Marva aspect of the program. Hopefully I may be able to get a friend who took part in Marva to write a post about it for my blog.
I just wanted to use this post to introduce you Year Course, and in the sequential posts I want to share with you some of my experiences in Israel.
Until Next Time
