DAYDREAMING... Pet Rabbits

I know this was a bit of a weird post from me but it's the second post in my 'Daydreaming' series [read my first post here] and they're all going to be about things that I've been daydreaming about a lot and this month I've been pet crazy! For years and years now I've wanted a pet rabbit. I think rabbits are the cutest of all the domestic pets, possibly the cutest of all animals ever. The problem was always that my family didn't agree, we always had cats (which, don't get me wrong, I do love) and we had one dog when I was growing up. It isn't that these pets weren't enough for me, I loved each and every one of them, but they weren't rabbits! They could never hop, they didn't have ridiculously oversized floppy ears, and they didn't make me 'squeeee' with excitement about their cuteness in the way that my friends' pet rabbits did.

I still, to this day, daydream about owning a couple of house rabbits. The idea of a couple of rabbits hopping about my home fills me with glee- and I can't be the only one! I know that Jennie from sailboat. has a gorgeous rabbit named Ralphie whom she features on her blog often (but not often enough for me!). I don't follow many blogs where people talk about their pets but I find that when you do see them they always make for great personal posts. Sadly, I can't see myself getting a pet of my own any time soon as I'm not going to settling down anywhere for the next couple of years due to continuing on at University after I graduate this Summer. I do, however, still have a gorgeous cat who lives back at home with my family in London and whenever I'm back home he dotes on me like there's no tomorrow. Animals really never forget you, it can be months and months before I see him again and he'll still come and sleep next to me from the first day I get back until the night before I leave, it's adorable. As soon as I move back home and get settled he's going to be coming to live with me! I just hope he can handle a potential rabbit friend at some point.

For anyone who shares my love of rabbits then this might be worth checking out- a while ago Charlotte from LilMissChickas mentioned on twitter that everyone should look up 'bunstagram' on their instagram. It didn't take much for me to look the hashtag up and as soon as I did I just found tonnes of pictures people had taken of their pet rabbits! It's a fantastic hashtag, definitely one of my favourites and for those of you without instagram, if you just Google 'bunstagram' the result is very similar! 



I  hope you enjoyed this month's Daydreaming post! You can look forward to a return to everything beauty related tomorrow :)

DAYDREAMING... Interrailing


Daydreaming is a new post series that I'm starting with a post every month or so featuring something that I've been thinking about a lot. It might be beauty related sometimes but this month it's all about travelling. More specifically, about going interrailing this summer.

For those of you who don't know about interrailing, it's where you go travelling across a number of different European countries by train using an interrail pass. Last summer I organised a five week interrail trip which included travelling across ten countries with my best friend Tom. It was the most exciting experience and it really induced a wanderlust in me. All I want to do now is travel!

Whenever I'm procrastinating from work I'm looking up places I could visit, museums I'd like to go to, beaches I'd like to lie on etc. I'm graduating from University in May (it's so soon that it terrifies me!) and all I want to do this summer is travel. My only problem is that I currently don't have a travelling partner. After travelling with Tom last summer I realised that it isn't essential to go travelling with someone but I think having a companion would be something I'd like- and I know it would put my dad's mind at ease as well. So although I've been daydreaming about a potential future interrail, I've also been reliving my trip last year and I thought I'd share a couple of photos with you.




That's me at the very beginning of my trip last summer! Tom and I were such a mess for most of it (what with having to carry everything we needed with us at nearly all times) but it was the most fun ever. We got to swim in the sea, travel through the Alps, see Pompeii, visit countless cathedrals and museums, we saw dinosaur bones, explored foreign supermarkets, took boat trips, fell out of bunk beds, endured door-less bathrooms, bought overpriced beers, listened to audio guides, got sunburnt and most of all we had the most fun and crazy times. I've included photos of Tom as well as me but he said that was okay (we live together so him appearing on my blog was going to happen eventually).




I don't know how many of you are like me, always planning your next big getaway or day dreaming about weekend trips to Paris or Copenhagen but if you are I'd love for you to tweet me your ideas!  I'm constantly off in other countries in my head. I'm desperate to visit Estonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Norway, Denmark... the list is endless. It'd be lovely to talk to other people who are equally as obsessed with travelling as I am.



So that concludes my first Daydreaming post, I hope you enjoyed it!
