Photos galore!

I am back from my fabulous holiday in Croatia and I am ready to take on the world! A holiday was exactly what I needed and now I am feeling fresh!

The Dove "Real Beauty" campaign has to be one of the best advertising campaigns I have seen, these women are 100% real with no photoshop and they are stunning!

Introducing Emma...

Hola! So it has been a crazy few weeks, lots has happened! I have now been a graduate for 3 months, can you believe it?! It seems so strange not to be going back to uni this year - my little sister went back to London yesterday, made me slightly sad that it's all over for me! But.... I passed my probation period at work so I am one extremely happy Chick! Cups of tea all round! Right so this blog post doesn't exactly have a clear theme but bear with me...!  My lovely friend Emma is currently looking for work experience in Northampton within a marketing related role, as she is keen to kick start her career! If you would like to give her an opportunity, a few days or a week, then please (flutters eyelashes) get in contact! You can check out her LinkedIn here and Twitter here . I am so grateful to those who gave me a chance, so I beg someone to do the same for someone else :D I will be back with a better blog post soon! Lots on! Lets get social! Get  tweeting  or  Lin
