My 1 year Bloggerversairy

Hello! Today it is officially one year since I started my own blog. It's something I'd been contemplating for a while and, whilst I was still full of new year's motivation, decided to pluck up the courage and go for it. It's a decision I'm really proud of and is now something that takes up a lot of my time in the best way possible. For a little celebration I've decided to group together some of my favourite posts from the first year of 'TheRobynChristina' So grab a drink, get comfy and let's have a little trip down memory lane.     This was written all the way back in March when me and the boyfriend had a little trip to Blackpool. I absolutely love Blackpool and it seems like lots of you do too as this has been my most read post so far. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't drooling just looking at those donuts.  

  In March I did a little series of top 5's. As lip products are definitely some of my favourite things in the beauty world, this was the toughest to try and narrow down but as I still use all of these items all the time I'd say I did a pretty good job.  

  This post was all about my trips away to visit friends. These are some of my favourite posts to write about as I can re-live all the giggles we had.  

  I absolutely loved creating this Halloween look. I hadn't really done anything like this before and was quite impressed with how it turned out. This Halloween I'm definitely gonna try out a few more ideas, I'm already excited to see what I can come up with.  

  I spent my 24th birthday in Paris with my lovely boyfriend. I decided to do some outfit posts while I was there, I'd never done this before and I must admit it felt a bit strange getting my pose on in very busy tourist spots but I'm pleased with how they came out.

In December I made these little cuties as a tasty Christmas treat. They were all eaten before Christmas day, always a good sign!   Well there we go. When I see it layed out in front of me like this I'm really proud of what I've created this year and I have lots more ideas waiting to be tuned into posts.

I can't wait to see where my second year of blogging takes me!

Day out to Blackpool

This weekend I got an unexpected day off. I work every weekend usually so this is a rare occasion and I was determined to make the most of it. As my boyfriend works from Monday to Friday this also means that we never get a day off together. We're both massive fans of theme parks so we decided to hop on a train and spend the day at Blackpool pleasure beach. We live up North so it's only about an hour away from us and seemed like the perfect idea!!

 

 

 

 

I've learnt to love Blackpool for what it is. I think it would be very easy for a first timer to visit and write it off for being cheap and nasty and it would be fairly easy to see why but these are the reasons why I absolutely love it. We're only in March so some of shops and stalls on the front weren't open yet but the Pleasure beach is now open at weekends and was in full swing! I'm still new to blogging and didn't do the best job of taking pictures (fail) but did manage to snap a few of some of the rides.  

 











 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So here's just a few snaps. Some of the rides are over 100 years old and still going strong which I think is incredibly cool. Did have to treat myself to some sneaky donuts as well, they were very nice indeed. Overall it was a great day out and I would recommend the pleasure beach to anyone. I think there's plenty to do even if your not really in to your big thrills but there's certainly some scarier ones if that's your bag!!

 

This ones been a little bit different but I hope you've enjoyed!
