August Highlights

Hey guys,
It's the 1st of September and if you read my blog regularly you'll know that means it's time for another monthly highlights,
I really love writing these each month as I feel like they'll be nice to look back on at the end of the year,

This post is also my 100th post! I can't believe I've written 100 posts!
Thank you to anyone of you who read on a regular basis and leave comments, you all help keep me motivated to keep writing these posts

Anyway, with all that said let's get into my highlights for August then shall we?

2nd August:

On the 2nd I hit 570 followers on Instagram

The 2nd was also the day I 'vlogged' in public for the first time, this was for the Instagram Followers Control My Life For A Day video I filmed that day

3rd August:

On the 3rd we went to visit my Dad at work and went to a sandwich/burger van,
I got a cheese burger and then got a hot chocolate from the coffee machine at Dad's work

4th August:

On the 4th I went to Matalan to look for something for my Uncle's party, I didn't end up finding anything so I dug out my old black jump suit and my glittery sandals for the night

The 4th was also the night of my Uncle's party, which was super fun!

I actually have a boomerang of the sparkle from my sandals haha, I'll put that here

5th August:

On the 5th I hit 580 followers on Instagram, I'm super happy with how my Instagram is growing at the moment

6th August:

The 6th was the day I finished editing the Instagram followers video

I also filmed 3 other videos this day but I'm not sure on a couple so I might end up re filming

I also started writing my birthday wish list on the 6th too

7th August:

On the 7th I hit 590 followers on Instagram

I also joined an engagement group on Instagram where basically people share Instagram posts and blog posts etc and you can share yours and then it gets everyone more engagement if that makes sense
It's actually really fun as it's an opportunity to talk to new people as well

8th August:

On the 8th I picked the ring my parents would be getting me for my birthday but I had to have it sent for resizing

I also hit 600 followers on Instagram (I lost this a couple of days later haha)

On the 8th my Mum also ordered the MAC eyeshadow in the shade Amber Lights and a mini Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray to get me for my birthday

9th August:

On the 9th after the gym me and Tamanna went to the arcade near by for a little bit since the 10th was my birthday
Tamanna also gave me my birthday present which was a cute tin of shortbread biscuits, which I loved

10th August:

The 10th was my 21st birthday!
I opened all of my presents in the morning (I have a what I got for my birthday post up here if you haven't seen it and are interested to find out what I got) then we got ready to go to an aquarium about an hour away from us
I filmed at the aquarium, the video should be up next week (you can subscribe to my channel here if you'd like to see when I post that)
I'll put in pics from the aquarium here for anyone who maybe hasn't seen them in other posts

After the aquarium we went to pizza hut for a late lunch, I had a pan margherita pizza and a bowl of salad,
To drink I also got a strawberry milkshake,
I'll put in pics here,

Then on the way home we went to Tesco to get some Krispy Kreme doughnuts for dessert,
I got the chocolate sprinkle doughnut

I also bought a super cute penguin toy in the gift shop, I'll put in a picture of that here

11th August:

On the 11th my Auntie and Uncle came to our house as well as my Nana and we had a buffet and had my birthday cake too
I also got my present off my Auntie and Uncle on the 11th too

I'll put  pictures of the champagne flute in here

12th August:

Also on the 21st I started a few table charts to try and get more organised with scheduling blog posts and videos for the remainder of the year

23rd August:

On the 23rd I decided to email Kylie Cosmetics as I was getting a little worried as my order hadn't been shipped yet and I made the order on the 20th July

On the 26th I gained a new subscriber which made it 7 subscribers total

I also noticed on the 26th that my views on YouTube had hit and passed 300 (It was at 313)

The 26th was also a great day for my blog as I hit 11,000 total page views, it still shocks me when I hit these big numbers, I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate all the love on my blog

29th August:

On the 29th I hit my first ever YouTube subscriber goal of 10 subscribers, I know to some this isn't a lot but I was honestly so happy, I appreciate every subscriber

I also hit 640 followers on Instagram too, like I said before I'm super happy with how much my Instagram is growing just lately

30th August:

On the 30th I hit 650 followers on Instagram
