Victoria Sneaky Secret's

Well, like any other girl i love the items they have in Victoria Secret's but can never justify buying underwear that is £50. But at the moment they have a great sale on in their store and their sister store PINK. One of my closest friends turns 18 next month so i thought i would get her something in the sale as i know how much she loves Victoria Secret's. There were so many beautiful items that she would love and i was very tempted to pop a few things into my basket for myself aswell. But, as you all know from my previous post, i must resist the lust to shop. I sound like the girl from confessions of a shopaholic. But only now am i so glad i didn't treat myself to one of the beautiful garments. I found the perfect present and it was only £24,00 when it was originally about £45!! I was like yes i have done it, its her size its just perfect (because you know what sales are like, you find something beaut and then it doesn't have your size or any pretty colours) I got to the checkout and to my dismay it was £8 nearly £9 shipping. I took a big gulp and thought it's fine, Its from america, i understand, im still in budget and she deserves it. BUT THEN after i had sorted out my delivery address etc i payed and looked at the receipt they give you. It said "thankyou for your order blah blah for £40." I was like sorry what, 40?! Sneaky old Victoria Secret's charge you £6 something taxes on top of all that shipping and the actual cost of the product. I was so annoyed especially as i don't exactly have a lot of money at the moment anyway and i deliberately looked for something in the sale. I payed almost the same price in taxes and shipping as i did the actual item. Yes you will probably say its my own fault for going on there when i don't have money to splash. But i am so angry that i got mugged off and they didn't show the taxes before i payed, So i highly recommend checking out their gorgeous affordable items in the sale, but just be prepared they will charge you double just to get it to your door!!

I need more

Despite the sales January is probably the most depressing month clothes wise. Unless you get loads of money for Christmas, you find yourself trying to scrape together all your loose change at the bottom of your purse or old money box somewhere deep in the back of your junk drawer just to be able to afford a £10 cami in the sale. I hate this feeling. There are so many things that appeal in January and I want to buy it all. Greed definitely takes over. Every year without fail, i come up with a new years resolution to clear out tat from the wardrobe and change my look completely. But how on earth do you do this without money?! I find myself trailing through the websites, Missguided, Boohoo, even Topshop to see if i can get something nice for below a fiver. There just always seems to be that need to buy things. Like i feel like its a rule i cant break. I am addicted to it, its ridiculous!! Because window shopping gets boring i find myself making outfits up in my head or looking for fashion inspo on Pinterest and Instagram. Then i have a goal to work for when i eventually get money. Why must this happen, i am lucky though to have a boyfriend who would happily treat me to all the clothes in the world but, i cant accept it i hate taking his money and spending it on myself when i didn't earn it. Shopping is a very bad addiction. All i want is to be one of those girls that gets clothes sent to her for free, i love them so much please someone, i will happily publicise your clothing!! I'm so tragic aren't i. So here is some Boohoo (i love boohoo!!) fashion inspo to get us all through the day and the bleak month that is January.

Money issues

Erghhh, why is it that money is such an issue?
Im feeling so low about it all at the moment, being at uni makes it 100000xs harder to get a job. The majority of part time jobs are on weekends, but what if i want to go home on a weekend to see the fam? But then i need money because i can hardly afford to live off my student loan as it is. PLUS if i want to go to Thailand i need to start saving already!! I have looked for jobs from home but worry so much. What if they arent legit. Anyone out there want to give me a job where i can choose my hours?! Would really help a very stressed out meg right now x

(sorry for the little rant)

V EXCITING PLANS

Oh my gosh, okay i am so so excited!! Today i have been planning mine and jack's (the boyf) travels to Thailand! I have always always wanted to go there and my dream is to see/ride/touch an elephant. They are my favourite animal and im hopefully getting an elephant tattoo in a few months i love them so much!
Obviously im a student and travelling and Thailand alone is very expensive! So i thought i would plan in advance exactly how much i would have to save. We are hopefully looking at going in July 2017. I have never been before but i read that thats rainy/monsoon season which is a bit of a disappointment but due to uni and jacks job the holiday months are the only ones we will be able to go in i think. So we are planning on going for 28 days, basically a month, and starting off in Bangkok then travelling to the beautiful Koh Samui which looks amazing!
I don't know if anyone who is reading (IF THERE IS ANYONE!!!) has been to Thailand before or just travelling in general but i would love to know any tips you have.
I have always been so scared of flying and the flight to Bangkok is what, 11 and a half hours. But this is literally my dream, i want to see everything Thailand has to offer and i think i will just have to grit my teeth and get over my fear of flying...or get really drunk!
I have looked around and found some really good sites that offer cheap but nice hostels to stay in. The one i think we will defo use is called "Hostel Bookers" (http://www.hostelbookers.com) so if anyone is interested in where to go if you want to travel i would highly recommend this website!
So yes, very exciting things to come from this hopefully!!! Until then here are some generic travelling inspo pics from Pinterest x x x

The journey that is uni

So, 3 weeks back at university and it doesn't get much easier. The first term here was surreal. The emotions you go through are, and yeah I know its cliche, but a roller coaster. I was so so nervous that September day when I left my house to begin the journey up the motorway to shitty Luton. Saying goodbye to my boyfriend that morning was heart-breaking. I didn't expect it to feel like that, we weren't breaking up, we just weren't going to be seeing each other as easily or as often. I cried the whole 2 hours up to uni. Then it got weird, i saw my new flatmate in the car park and i dunno it was strange seeing her in person after 2 months of emailing. We had the struggle of having to move all my boxes in and try and make my new home comforting so that i wouldn't cry everyday. Saying goodbye to my parents was awful aswell. Anyone going to uni this year or whenever, unless you hate your parents (which i'm sure no one does) nothing will prepare you for saying goodbye to your birth-givers. Luckily for me i had some amazing new people in my life who comforted me and looked after me.
That first night, we all went out and started our uni lives right. But the next night we were all too tired and upset we went to bed at like half 7 and i cried myself to sleep. I cried because my shower was shit like anything set me off it was crazy,
Coming back after Christmas, was easier but i still got upset and i think its just because im such a home bird like, i love my house, my town and i need my family and boyfriend to survive. But now im here i realise that they still help me and they have literally been amazing. My parents are spending so much money just so i can pursue my dreams of becoming a journalist, they come up and see me they send me things and they are just so special. And my boyfriend, bless him, he is just the best thing I could ask for. He makes so much effort to come and see me at least every other weekend. Even after a full week at work he will get in his car and drive up and spend the whole weekend here, treating me to meals and gifts. He makes my heart melt, he is the sweetest (sorry for cringe lines there).
So any advice from me to anyone going to uni is, you may think that you want to come to get away from your fam...but they are the main people who carry you through university. Even if it is just a phone call from your mumma once a week to see if you're still alive and not wasting £9,000!!

Introductions

Hi, 
First of all i want to set the record straight, I AM a girl. I know it says life of a wanna be and my @ address is wanna be girl so i understand the confusion. All i mean by this is that i will be posting my views on the girls we all aspire to be like, i want to be a girly girl, i want to be good at makeup and hair and always look fab but unfortunately i am a sad excuse for a girl. I love pink, i love clothes and all i want is to be a princess but i suck at all things girly. I love myself, and i'm not saying this blog is designed to make people feel shit about themselves and that i do about myself. As well as body goals etc. i will be posting fashion inspo, my own opinions and general ideas and thoughts i have. 
For ages i have wanted to blog but have never had any idea of how it works or what site to use. I have started here as it was recommended and hopefully something comes of it or it will be pretty sad just me ranting to a computer screen. 
So yeah if there is anyone out there i hope you kind of like what i'm gunna do and stick around to find out more! 
Love meg xxxx
