England Athletics Championships
This past weekend I travelled all the way down to Bedford to work with the British athletics biomechanics team and complete some performance analysis for the athletics field events.
After a disasterous start to the trip by missing my connection train, I arrived at the hotel 3 hours late on the friday night! I had a small amount of time to look over my schedule for the weekend and familiarise myself with the equipment I would be using.
On the saturday I recorded the performances in the pole vault, shot put, hammer throw and triple jump. Then on the sunday I recorded long jump, pole vault and javelin.
I had a really great experience throughout the weekend and met some really great people. I just now feel sorry for the head biomechanist who has to go through and analyse all of the films!

Thought of the day
My ultimate goal is to be at peace with myself, eliminate toxic feelings
and elements and energies from my life, unlearn negative and harmful
practices and thought patterns, stop checking for people that don’t
check for me, create a space for myself that is nurturing for growth so
that i may generate loving energy for myself and for others, nourish my
spirit and balance my energies, i have big dreams and i deserve to live a
life i love and let that love.

The Kings' Experience
These past 4 weeks I have been working at a kids summer camp in my home town as a swim coach and lifeguard...
It has been a bit of a whirl wind to be honest as I applied for the job one day, was given an interview literally the next day and started camp the week after, therefore I had very little time to prepare myself for how manic the month ahead would be.
As the camps main swim coach, my job was to teach all of the children swimming but with a fun element, so I basically just played games and splashed around in the pool for the entire time I was at work!
Although stressful at times, I have had the best 4 weeks and have made some great friends and have really learnt a lot about swimming in general and about working with young children..
...next stop for me, applying to work at a summer camp in CANADA

March Favourites 2014
- Petite stripe pocket tee - £15 at Topshop
- The perks of being a wall flower by Stephen Chbosky
- The fault in our stars by John Green
- Paper towns by John Green
I had my second year final exams these past few weeks, so March has basically consisted of non-stop revision for me, so what better way to relax than reading a good book. I have really gotten into John Green recently, so much so that I bought his entire collection of books! They definitely do not disappoint, other than harry potter and the hunger games books I'm not usually a big reader, but I have read these books from start to finish in record time for me! definitely a sign of a good book.
Since purchasing this Topshop tee a few months back I have noticed so many people wearing it, and I'm hardly surprised tbh, the quality is amazing and it just looks so cute with jeans and a simple necklace.

Maybelline Haul January 2014
- Maybelline Big Eyes Double Ended Mascara
- Maybelline Baby Lips in Fresh Mint
- Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer
I was sick for most of January so I thought some new beauty products might cheer me up, and these 3 definitely did! I saw a commercial for the Maybelline big eyes mascara and thought it would be another one of those products that will disappoint, this however was very different. It has a large end for the upper lashes and a smaller end for the lower lashes, such a great invention, the lower lash wand makes applying mascara to the lower lash line so much easier and cleaner, definitely worth the hype its received.
Maybelline baby lips have been hyped over so much in the world of YouTube, so I had to jump on the band wagon! I've tried a couple of them but the colours don't seem to suit my skin tone, apart from the fresh mint one, which funnily enough is clear! I think I prefer the fact that it is mint flavoured over anything else, but it seems to do a good job of moisturising my lips.
The Maybelline baby skin face primer promises some good things, it claims to instantly erase your pores. Now I'm not sure that it actually does, but it does leave my skin feeling smooth and creates a good base for my foundation, which I guess it the whole point of a primer!
