Highlights Of 2015.

2015 has definitely been the best year of my life, so far. I got to do amazing things this year and go amazing places. I am very grateful for everyone and everything in my life. I'm very excited to see what 2016 will bring.

There have been SO many highlights in 2015 but a few stand out a little more. I'm going to share them with you. I have done separate blog posts for most of these highlights that I'll link below. Enjoy!

Holidays To Puerto Rico.
This holiday was the first holiday I'd been on where it was just my Mum, my sister, Jen and I (basically everyone in my family besides my brother Daniel and my Dad.) We had so much fun and it was so relaxing. It was a typical "girly holiday."


Ed Sheeran And Kodaline Concert. 
I went a bit "Concert Crazy" this year, including the concerts of Ellie Goulding, Kodaline, 5 Seconds Of Summer and Ed Sheeran.  Although they were all so good, I think my 2 favourites were Ed Sheeran and Kodaline. 

Ed Sheeran was AMAZING! We went to see him in Croke Park Stadium. He was just incredible, as usual. I had seen him before in the 3Arena but there's something about Croke Park that made it ten times better.


Kodaline's concert was really great too. I wasn't much of a fan before the concert but I absolutely loved them after. I think I enjoyed that concert so much because all my friends were there. It was like a big party.


Kenmare Camping Trip.
As part of school, we got to go camping for 2 nights in Kenmare, The days were full of activities like paint-balling (which I hated) and water sports. At night we stayed in tents which was actually the most fun.

This trip was something I had such anxiety about before, I didn't plan on going but leading up to it, I decided to go. I'm SO happy I went. It was one of the highlights of my year. There are so many funny stories from this trip that my friends and I talk about all the time. 


Going To London.
London is one of my highlights because I had never been there before and fell in love with the place. I can't wait to go back there, hopefully sometime soon. I went with my older brother Daniel. It was SO much fun and we got to visit so many places. 

Seeing Les Miserables in the West End was the best part of the trip though. It was incredible. The movie will now never live up to the live performance. I loved every minute of it.


So that's a few of my highlights from 2015. I hope 2016 is even better! I blogged a lot this year and really enjoyed it. I will continue blogging throughout 2016 also. Thanks you so much for reading.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Camping Trip Fun.

Hey Everyone.
 I recently went on my first official camping trip, with my school. I stupidly forgot to bring my camera so I borrowed a few photos from people to share with you all for this post. Most of these photos are from my friend Maura who took these on a disposable camera. They all turned out amazing! 
Some of my closest friends and I. CUTE!
To be honest I was absolutely dreading it because the thought of having to stay in tents and not be able to have access to proper facilities was not appealing.

It was a 3 day trip to Kenmare. Bit random but it is a tradition in my school for fourth year classes. We were told we weren't allowed electronics besides cameras and no makeup. I actually really enjoyed the fact that we didn't have electronics because we really got to focus on the trip and our friends, I didn't miss mine one bit.

On the trip we did a 19km hike, archery, paint-balling, mountain biking, kayaking and went on a water trampoline and banana boat. It was a crazy but fun 3 days. My favourite part was the water trampoline and my least favourite was the paint-balling. It was not my idea of "fun." It hurt.
Please excuse the fact that I look terrible here! Bare in mind that we weren't allowed wear makeup.
The camp-fire was really nice because it was the only time during the day that we could relax. We all sung songs and people told scary and funny stories while we all toasted marshmallows. I ate so many s'mores between the 2 nights camping #noregrets, haha.
All tucked up, ready for the camp-fire.

The place we went "The Star Outdoors, Kenmare" was great and the people there were so nice. The views were incredible and the weather was good too so it was a very successful trip overall. I LOVED IT! I still don't think I'm a camping person but if I had to do it again I wouldn't mind.


Hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading! I'll be back with another post Monday.
