Ice Skating in London... well attempting too!

Hiya Guys,

I am really getting into the Christmas mood this week and I decided to have a wack at one of the most Christmas like activities... ICE SKATING!

I have never really gone before especially outside but due to it being cheap and the option for students getting a free drink, me and 2 friends decided to go to the National History Museum who had a Swarovski Ice Rink. It meant skating in the beautiful London air as the sun went down with the lights hung on all the trees. Everything seemed gorgeous as we sipped our free hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream.
That was until we started skating! All the photos we got from the free picture booth shows me holding my friends hand and it all looks so friendly and sweet... honestly it was just because I would have fallen otherwise. I was absolutely awful compared to one of my friends who was a natural and the other who had 5 years of ice skating training, I mean I could barely let go of the barrier without someone holding me tightly.

I need to stress how grateful I am to my friends because as much as I said that they could go off, they stuck by me the full 50 minutes and literally guided me through those annoyingly fast skaters. They didn't get angry as I swore every 5 minutes or nearly pulled them onto the ground with my lack of balance or ability.

However, it was still an amazing trip and I really felt as it was a great way to have fun without the student conventions of getting drunk every night. It was not that chilly and the atmosphere was just so festive. Therefore if you want somewhere to go for a girly evening then I recommend this place so much because it is not hugely expensive or big and is so fun.

Also, the photobooth thing is amazing, literally it is so cute how they let you print out your memories because I always like having photos printed for me with like information because I can stick them across my room. Here is an example of one of ours (also love to my friends who let me put this up):
Don't we look glamorous? Well they do, me well I won't touch upon any of that right now! It really put me into a great mood and emphasized that I have chosen my friends amazingly well!

So I hope all of you are having fun with Christmas festivities whether it be skating or shopping but remember, 'you dont need to be drunk to have fun' as my sister always tells everyone!

That's all for now my dears,
See you soon

Introducing me!

Hiya guys,  This is my first ever blog post, I was going to say of the year, but it is actually my first one ever! I think it is necessary to introduce myself to all you beautiful people.  My name is Sonal Lad and I am a below average 18 year old girl from England!  I started this blog because I have always been interesting in writing to a mass audience and I believe that this could be the starting point of trying to get into journalism. I also love the idea of being able to interact with people from all over the world on issues that are dear to my heart!  I think as time goes on, you will get to know me a lot more and hopefully I get to know all of you guys a lot better! That's all for now my dears, See you soon xx

Ear Piercing Debate

Hi my lil' fairies, It seems like all I ever seem to do is complain about what I've seen on my usual weekday morning television schedule, which normally includes Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women! I can normally watch pretty much any segment and understand both perspectives, but, today, I watched a segment about a debate that has been talked about before and is just increasingly angering me each time. Would you let your toddler get their ears pierced? Here's the video from the last time it was debated: I know it's a question that raises controversy but my main issue was the argument from the woman who opposed it: getting your toddler's ears pierced is child abuse. EXCUSE ME?!? Here's my stance on this issue as a whole: I got my ears pierced when I was a small baba because it's pretty much normal in my culture and the same thing happened to my sister when she was little. I never found anything weird about it and, fast forward 20 ...

WWE! A New Era?

Hiya Guys, I really hope that this week's blog title is obvious to those of you who understand and will most likely read this post! I am a big WWE fan and, before you say 'oh it's fake', well I do know that but I'd like to also say that Marvel and DC and all those films are also fake. So, these last few weeks made history in WWE by having the Brand Split of RAW and Smackdown and making them both live.  Here is my overview of the Draft last week as well as the first week of the so-called 'new era.' Draft Day I will be honest and say that Draft Day was a huge disappointment in terms of the draft itself and the way it was organised. It seemed extremely lackluster and rushed in comparison to the other years and seemed to be very much focused on the Managers of each of the companies (Stephanie/ Mick Foley and Shane/ Daniel Bryan) instead of the superstars. However, when it comes to the picks itself, I was pleasantly surprised and happy. I think...
