I'm back!

 It has been a horribly busy, but also fantastic, two weeks and my adventure has not stopped.

It all began with the Company Blogger Forum, where I enjoyed listening to some great pearls of wisdom from blogging wizards. It was interesting, and I think the biggest message of the evening was definitely to be yourself, blog your passions and enjoy it.
Everyone also got a free goodie bag packed with some real tasty treats, including a gorgeous filofax, make up remover wipes, the tastiest (and I mean it) rhubarb and apple drink and an alpro soya pudding (my favourite dessert).

Afterwards, I went to my Dad's graduation at the Royal Festival Hall, which was a lovely venue for a wonderful achievement. He's graduated in fine art after a long 6 years of part time study. I'm very proud of him and can't wait to see what he does with his new BA.

But my travels didn't stop there. On the same day, I traveled up to Derby to pack up my tiny student bedsit and move into a two bedroom flat (which is much nicer, I must admit). This was the main reason for me not being able to write my blog. There was a distinct lack of time and internet, and a vast amount of clothing and clutter to pack away.


Anyway, here I am, back and ready to review some great restaurants and products!

M next post will be about moving house, renting and top tips on not being swindled by estate agents!

Why I LOVE Company Magazine

Company Magazine is a monthly publication that I really make the effort for. It's a fashion magazine, but it's so much more. With articles ranging from the "How I Got There", a regular feature that asks girls who are successful in their field to spill the beans on how they got to their dream job, to Jameela's columns that tackle issues closer to home, Company fills itself with interesting articles that are bound to interest you. 

Recently, Company published an issue that discussed feminism with different female figureheads that provided a great insight into feminism in different industries, and what it meant to women from different walks of life. Another brutally honest article titled "Skinny Club" highlighted a woman who loved to be thin and had no shame in admitting passing up on sweet treats and lying about having already eaten. The dynamic contrast in the two articles created a storm of comments online and certainly sparked a few debates. See, this is what I love about this magazine - its ability to make you think outside the box. 

On top of this, there are some great tutorials and how-tos published to get you customizing your clothes and styling yourself to perfection. I've learnt everything from nail design to scrunchie making, all of which impresses my friends and family to no end. If the how-to published in the magazine doesn't tickle your fancy, take a look at their website for the Cool Customiser section for some thrifty fashion fun. This is also a great place for competitions, advice, discussions and tons of extra content to satisfy you until the next issue.

Overall, Company focuses on us - the girls who will one day shape the world. It  inspires us to get to where we want to be and shares insights and thoughts of others, whilst still keeping our hunger for style satisfied and that's why Company Magazine is my magazine.
