VInspired Live! Exciting News and FREE TICKETS!

I have some exciting news!

I was approached recently by a charity called VInspired and they asked me to be a brand ambassador for their upcoming event VInspired Live! I of course said yes!

VInspired is a charity dedicated to helping young people volunteer in ways that matter to them. They provide them with opportunities to do good things and to make a difference. They really help these young people learn different skills, improve their confidence and have fun whilst making a change to the things they care about.

VInspired Live will be an amazing event held on the 6th of July at the Roundhouse in London. 

The event, hosted by Rick Edwards and Gemma Cairney, will mix great music from acts such as Professor Green and Skepta, with inspiration from Olympic stars, Levi Roots and more. 

They'll also be 4 young people who are trying to make a difference to issues they care about, thousands of people voted for what issue they believe in the most and the top 4 were -

* Changing self esteem and mental health

* Changing street crime

* Changing youth unemployment

* Changing youth homelessness

The 4 people campaigning for each of these issues have celebrity mentors, which include Jack and Finn Harries from Jacksgap YouTube fame - they will be there on the day, very excited for that. 

You can vote for which you'd like to win here.

Now for the mega exciting part….YOU have the chance to be at this amazing event, that is for such a wonderful cause…and the best part is it is FREE!

"How?" I hear you ask….all you have to do is register for tickets here http://vinspiredlive.com/#get-tickets and you could be in with a chance of winning a pair! It is that simple.

I personally cannot wait for the event and I will have my vlogging camera with me, so if you don't win tickets then don't worry - you can catch up with everything that happened via my vlog from the day!

I think it's such a brilliant idea, a great lineup and such an amazing charity, and I really hope to see some of you there!

Things I Want To Do Before I'm 30

HELLO! I haven't blogged in so long!

Unfortunately my laptop had been broken so I was unable to blog and then I kind of forgot about it, but oh how I've missed blogging. 

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am BACK and that I have a YouTube channel now if you'd like to check it out here is the link.

I recently did a video about Things I Want To Do Before I'm 30 which you can watch here, and I thought I would also do a blogpost about it.

1. Travelling, there are so many places I want to go! I want to ride camels in Egypt to the pyramids, I want to go on safari in South Africa, I want to see the Northern Lights, road trip America - New York has to be top of the list, I'd love to spend New Years Eve in Times Square, I want to go to Australia and New Zealand, walk The Great Wall Of China and so many more places!
2. Swim with dolphins, this is something I have wanted to do for so long now. It just looks amazing, dolphins seem like such lovely, intelligent animals and they always look like they're having the best time when I see them swimming with people. I will do it one day!

3. Run Race for Life, this is a fund-raising event just for women to do in aid of Cancer Research UK, you can run, walk or jog the 5-Kilometre course and you get sponsored for doing so. I'd love to do this with a group of friends one year, it looks like fun and obviously it's for a brilliant cause. 
4. Break a world record, I don't really care what, I just want to break one! Then I can get a certificate and be able to say I am the best at something and no-one has beaten me.
5. Attend the Olympics, I am so gutted that I didn't get tickets to any events when the Olympics were in London in 2012, I got so into it, the atmosphere was amazing and seeing the games in my country - 50 minutes away from me - was just amazing. Nothing will beat that, but I'd still love to see the games. 
6. Climb a mountain, I don't have a preference as to which one, I'd just like to climb one. I imagine the feeling when you get to the top of it is phenomenal. 
7. Go to a big music festival, I have been to a local smaller festival before but I would love to go to V Fest or Glastonbury next year. I'm a massive fan of live music, so a festival would be a dream to go to.

8. Go horseriding along a beach, I used to do horseriding when I was younger and I loved it, I've seen people horseriding along a beach before and it looks incredible! The horses look like they're having the best time and it looks like so much fun, it's something I have always wanted to do.
9. Learn to drive, I have had a few lessons so far but I am no where near ready to take my test. I hate having to rely on lifts, or public transport all the time. 
10. Be happy and successful, did that sound cheesy? Yep? Thought so. But by the time I am 30 I don't want to be unhappy or unsuccessful, whatever I end up doing, hopefully I won't be. 

What would you like to achieve before you get to a certain age?

35 Facts About Me

I have seen lots of people doing the 25 Facts About Me post, and I thought I'd give it a go....but put a slight twist on it!

As I haven't been on here long and you probably don't know much about me, I thought I'd do more...I thought I'd do 35...Maybe that's quite a lot, but you don't have to read them all!

So, here goes.

8. I like baking cakes, I make the best fairy cakes.

11. I hate cartoons, I just can't watch them! They make me feel ill.

23. I love my country, I can't imagine living anywhere but England.

25. I find it hard to say "I love you". I don't know why. I can type it but not say it out loud to anyone.

27. I'm scared of falling in love.

29. My favourite film when I was little (3 plus) was Calamity Jane, which is a wild-west themed musical filmed in 1953, staring Doris Day.
30. When you first meet me you'll probably think I'm quite shy, but once you get to know me you'll find out I'm rather weird (but weird is good..okay), I joke around a lot, etc.
31. When I was little I used to make up plays and dance routines and make my sister join in with me and perform them to people.
32. One of the best days of my life was going to Radio 1 and being on the radio for hours with Greg James.

If you read all those then thank you! And sorry if I bored you.
