Introducing Cherry!

I am so excited to be introducing you guys to my lovely new baby, Cherry! I wonder if you can guess how I came up with the name...

 Seeing as it's only been a week since my accident I know how lucky I am to already have a new car! I also know how lucky I am that I found such a good little car. So this is my '02' plate Renault Clio, and it only has a mere 51,000 miles on it! It has electric windows, central locking, and power steering, which are all things that are very new to me! The breaks are much more sensitive than my old car, and as such I am having a few hard breaking moments, but I have only been driving it for an hour...

Here are a few more pictures of my lovely new baby!

I'm so in love with this car, it doesn't fight back when I'm driving it, and it actually works. The only thing that I don't really like, and that's the way that you put it into reverse, but that is standard across all Renault's, because my mum's car is the same. All in all I am a very lucky girl!

Open for business!

Ever since the beginning of Youtube, I have longed to be a Youtuber. However my self-consciousness, and lack of equipment really put me off. At the beginning of this year I bought a DSLR camera and I promised myself that I would start making videos, but it didn't happen. Then in August I attended 'Summer in the City' the biggest Youtube gathering in the UK. After that I told myself, I'll start making videos, but it still didn't happen. Well no more procrastination... My opening video is here!

This tag video was created by the lovely Carrie Hope Fletcher of itswaypastmybedtime, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for my first video! I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you thought!

Underneath the video I have also posted the questions I answered, and I would love to see some of you answering them too, either in video format, or just on your blog. When you've done it, please tweet me @Alyssia_Rose, I would love to read/see them.

Re-evaluating what is important...

On Friday I was involved in a car accident. My tires slid on the wet road, and put me in the opposite line of traffic where I was heading towards a tractor. I swerved to avoid hitting the tractor head on, and managed to bounce off of it's tire, before hitting the bank and rolling my car. This was one of the most terrifying experiences of my entire life. As I was moving towards the tractor it was as if time slowed down, and I thought about all the people that I loved, and that I would leave behind... For a second after the accident, I wondered if I had actually died. Next thing I knew there was a woman at my window, making sure if I was OK, and instantly phoning the police and ambulance for me. All I wanted to do was get out of the car, considering that I was hanging upside down with only the seat belt holding me in. Someone called my mum for me and when she arrived she took my hands an squeezed it tightly, tears falling from her eyes. All I could say was, 'I'm OK'. When the ambulance arrived and popped their head into the car to check I was fine, I even managed to crack a joke. "You OK?", my reply: "Yeah, just hanging around". Once they got me out of the car we realised that I only had one tiny cut on my hand. They still checked me over, and I had to be breathalyzed to make sure I wasn't drink driving, and we were on our way. The biggest casualty in all of this was my poor little micra Tinkerbell. Although she did a bloody good job of protecting me.

From the back she looks spotless, but this picture shows the majority of the damage. Ever since the accident I've felt really strange. Like I'm a dead woman walking... I can't really explain it, I just feel like I shouldn't be here. Even though I'm very glad that I still am!

This whole experience has really gotten me thinking about what I want to do with my life, and it's motivating me to work towards my end goal. In the past few days, I've really been thinking about the person I am, and the person that I really want to be. There are a couple of changes that I need to make, and I'm hoping to begin making those shortly. One of my biggest goals is to move on in my relationships, and I began taking steps on that front yesterday, more about that to come soon.

So the moral of the story here is, if there is something you want to do/someone you want to be, then seize your chance before it is too late!

My Instaweek #9

I thought that it was about time that we caught up with what I have been up to in the world of instagram! I got my new iPhone 5S a few weeks ago, and as such I have finally begun taking selfies! Hence why you may have noticed a bit of a spike in the amount that I post on instagram, hopefully you've been enjoying it as much as I have.

So there you have it, a little bit of a picture diary of sorts. I've had a very enjoyable few weeks, and these pictures document that well.

Pretty Prairie Charms

It was actually a fair while ago that I ordered these Prairie Charm goodies, but what with moving jobs, and trying to sort my life out, I completely forgot about these little beauties! I have finally gotten around to doing my hair more recently and as such I have been finding chances to wear this little cuties!

I found out about Prairie Charms when I saw that they had tweeted one of my blogger friends about their Project Blogger opportunity, of course I jumped straight in and asked if I could get involved. That same night I ordered what I wanted and within a week this arrived in the post.

 I absolutely love the packaging that they were wrapped in, they also came in a shiny purple envelope. It definitely stood out from your average package! I have to admit I squealed a little bit when I was opening these. I know you are all dying to know what I got.

The first thing that caught my eye on the website were these cute Tala Heart Bows.

 I've been dying to wear hair bows since the beginning of time, however with me being so useless at doing my hair, I NEVER get around to buying any. However as soon as I say these babies, I knew I had to have them. Blue is my FAVOURITE colour (if you hadn't already guessed from my layout), and the little love hearts make these super cute and girly!

The next thing that I spied was these Rose Bobby Pins, I couldn't find the original link but there are similar ones on the website here.

For obvious reasons, I was drawn to these lovely and very realistic little rose bobby pins. I got three in these lovely, fresh colours. When I first saw the picture of these I thought they were made out of fabric, however they are actually made out of this foam kind of material, making them fairly durable little flowers. I definitely want to get some more of these!

The final product that I absolutely had to have was the Olivia Crown.

This beautiful rose flower crown was definitely my favourite item of the order. I couldn't stop looking at it on top of my head and smiling! I really love the peachy colour of the roses, and it's one that's definitely different for me. The roses are made from the same foamy material as the bobby pin roses, and I think this is the perfect summer accessory! To be honest, I plan on rocking this right into autumn, and I think I picked the perfect colour for that!

Overall I was overjoyed with every single thing that I ordered from Prairie Charms, and as soon as I get paid I plan to buy more goodies! If you want to take a look, then visit the Prairie Charms Website, or follow them on Twitter.

The more eagle eyed of you will have also noticed that it is not me in the photos. I am useless at taking photos of myself, let alone photos of my hair. So instead of getting rubbish pictures I asked my beautiful sister to let me take pictures of the items in her hair! You can check out here blog here.

Until next time...

Berkshire Bloggers do #SBBC: Hot Topic

Today I'm here to talk about someone who has been very present in the media recently, and a lot of people have opinions on this lady, so I thought it was about time I share mine.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, firstly 'where have you been?' and secondly, I'm talking about Miley Cyrus, and her VMA performance, with Robin Thicke. I'll admit, when I initially watched the performance I was shocked, I couldn't believe that she would be so brazen as to act that way onstage. Although at no point did I think to myself 'she's out of control', or anything of the sort. I didn't think any worse of her, or begin to call her a slut or anything else.

At the end of the day, Miley is allowed to do whatever she wants with her life. It's her choice to perform that way, and I know she had her reasons. She's a lot cleverer than most people are giving her credit for, she got the controversy that she orchestrated herself, and people are still talking about her performance, and listening to her music at the same time.

Personally I think everyone should let her get on with it!

As a complete sidenote, I am obsessed with 'We Can't Stop'.... someone help me?

Berkshire Bloggers do #SBBC: Photo from my day.

Today was actually pretty boring for me. I was woken up at 7:30 by my sister getting ready for school, and I got ready for work REALLY slowly. I started at 11, and finished at 6. That was pretty much it. I really didn't have a clue what I was going to take a picture of until it happened, and here it is.

I went around to meet my dad to pick something up that he had printed for me, and he offered to wash my car. Of course I wasn't going to say no!

There you have it, simple, and rather boring. I keep meaning to try out the photo an hour style posts, maybe I will one day very soon!
