2 Years of Trixybelle & D!

This week was the anniversary of my relationship with D! I will try to make this post as soppy free as I possibly can however if you're not into all that soppyness, leave now so I can be remotely soppy in peace.
To mark this day, I wanted to share with you some of my favourite memories over the past 2 years that me and D have shared. "2 years worth of photos?!" I hear you cry - don't worry I have only picked out the best of the bunch for you lovely lot - aren't you lucky! Don't say I never treat you. Enjoy the photo memories! 

Lets start at the very beginning... almost...! I hope from my duck face and D's lovely pout you can tell that this is after the shots at the bar?! This was the first party we went to as a public couple. I love this photo, number 1 reason, I love this dress a lot and number 2 reason, it reminds me of what it was like before I had D by my side - which in case you're wondering was awful - compared to what our life is like now we have each other. I love looking back at this just loving how far we have come!

 New year 2013. Our first new year together. Excuse my ginger hair by the way, i'm not too sure how that happened although I did love it at the time.. Anyway.. I actually didn't realise my tongue was that long either... ANYWAY! - We have developed a tradition of going to our friends for new year and I've got to say it's the best way to spend it. With it being the first new year we spent together it will always hold a special place with me.

A couple of days after new year and it was my 18th. This is my all time favourite picture of me and D. It is the one which  I have in my frame by my bed and the one I always use in anything I do about us. Just look how radiant we look?! 

Last summer now at a local beer festival near us. It was a glorious day filled with friends, music and lots of cider...! Probably one of my favourite days of last year. Drunk in a field with loads of beer, cider, bitter and good music, what more can you wish for?!  All spent with my favourite person by my side, no not you - D!

Excuse the sweatyness, bad quality and half a bra out-ness of this photo! It was taken on a spontaneous night out with my two favourite people - D & my bro. Only 3 of us being out is usually an excuse to not go out but this will go down as one of my favourite nights out of all time. We all get on so well and it was nice not having the drama of other people around - if you guys are both reading, we're doing it again soon right?! 

We might have gone back a couple of months here but this is our one year anniversary picture. How cute are we? I can't believe this was a year ago but it has flown by and now we're another year later! I literally can't believe it. Time, if you're listening, I suggest you do some serious slowing down, thanks.

Don't we scrub up well ey? (I know the ginger hair has returned, I can blame the sun for bleaching it this time!) This was D's nephew's christening - the most beautiful baby in all of the world might I just add! Such a lovely day and great to feel so part of D's family, and D looks so handsome how can you not love this piccy?! 

This is a serious fast forward now from October 13 to June this year! I was going to add some picky's of Christmas and what not and then I remembered my promise about not showing you every photo of the past 2 years so I thought I would speed things up a little. I'm sure that you can tell from D's top that this was the first England world cup game this year. A major disappointment of a game but still, it was the World cup and we were excited and ended up having a really fun night - so here we are!
 
So fast forwarding again but I feel that I have probably been soppy enough for one blog post so this is us now. Out 2 year anniversary photo. I feel that the past 2 years have been the best of my life and I just cant wait for more years that we hopefully spend together in the future. Haven't we grown up ey?! I feel like we look totally different from the first picture on this post haha! D just getting more beautiful though!
 
 
So that concludes my photo memories. There are so many more that  I wanted to post as you can imagine. But like I said, I didn't want to bore you with 2 whole years of my life in one post!
 
Lets hope this time next year you will see photo memories from our 3rd year together!
 
Thank you for reading, and I hope you don't mind my soppiness for this one occasion!
 
Have a lovely weekend my sweeties!

Top 10 Holiday Playlist Hits!

Greetings to you dear human, I hope all is well in the world of blogging and general internetting. 
Today i'm feeling musical and I realised i'd not done a musical blog post for a while so what better mood to write a musical blog than a musical mood?! 
To celebrate this wondrous musical mood,  I thought I would but together my top 10 holiday playlist hits from the charts right now. For all of you who are heading off on your jolly's this summer, or if you're not, this post is sure to get you feeling mighty fine and ready to smash the summer! 
10. Hideaway - Kiesza 
This song is getting slightly old in the charts now but I feel that it's a great way to start off my summer playlist. I love this song as I love the easy going feeling it has to it. I feel like it is a great summer song and great to get you feeling in the summer mood but not too upbeat and dancey (that's not a word but you get my gist...) I'm thinking its more easy listening beach time chill kind of song... Are you imagining being on a beach now listening to this with the waves lapping around your feet? I know you are.. 
This is a great song with a fantastic feel good summer vibe and a perfect song choice for my No 10 spot. 


9. Fancy - Iggy Azalea
This is such a guilty pleasure of mine, I'm not usually a fan of songs like this one but I love Iggy. I love her style and her confidence to be such a strong female rapper - would you call her a rapper? I don't really know.. But anyway I totally love this song and although it is getting a bit old in the charts now, it is still a worthy place on my top 10 and a great way to get feeling fancy this summer. She's also rather fancy herself... 


8. Nobody To Love - Sigma 
Now I do have to admit that  I was a sound hater of this song when I first heard it. To be totally honest I don't really understand it... however, adding this to my holiday playlist has turned me into a lover! I love putting it on when it's really sunny outside and i'm thinking about my holiday, it just gets me feeling all excited and ready to take on the day... or the week or what ever it may be when you're listening to it. If it's not on your holiday playlist, I strongly suggest that you get it on there now... go on do it... I promise you wont regret it when you put that playlist on! 
The album cover is even on a beach... is it more worthy of a holiday playlist spot?! I think not!


7. I Got U - Duke Dumont 
So i'm going on holiday with the girlies in September, hence the summer holiday playlist which this whole blog post is based on... and this is the first song I put into my holiday playlist! If you've heard this song I'm pretty sure that you will know exactly what I mean. In my opinion I would say it's one of the best summer songs this year! It's just so feel good and as soon as it comes on I feel transferred to the middle of a luxury white sandy beach somewhere really warm with non stop cocktails coming my way... until I look out of my bedroom window and I'm back in gloomy grey Manchester..Great! 
If you're going away anywhere this year, get in the mood by putting this song on when you're doing you're packing or just having one of those moments when you get really excited at a random point in the day. Such a great summer song and a great one to add to the holiday playlist.


6. Changes - Faul & Wad Ad vs Pnau
Have I mentioned that I am going away in September this year? Putting together a holiday playlist is one of the best parts of preparing for the wild antics of a girls holiday! This is one that has to go on the playlist. Another song with such a great summer vibe. If you're going on holiday you have to add it to your playlist too! I love the corus especially to this song, even though I have no idea what it actually says, you can just chant along to the chior it's got going on and you're good to go. I can just imagine this coming on being on holiday, I don't know why but I kinda of feel like i'm at a beach party... If it's not on your summer playlist, give it a listen and get adding!  



5. Rather Be - Clean Bandit
I'm slightly biased with this song as it's one of mine and D's really gay coupley songs so I automatically love it. However if you're single or you're in a relationship.. you know what it doesn't matter who you are, you should listen to this song. It's such a good feel good, I really feel like if you're feeling slightly down, maybe you're longing for it to be Friday but we're still stuck on Wednesday.. Put this song on and i'm sure you'll be smiling and singing along in no time. Perfect for a feel good No 5! 


4. Wasted - Tiesto 
 If this song doesn't get you in the mood to get your glad rags on and go party, I literally don't know what will. This is such a great song for the summer, might not be such an easy listening song but to get you in the mood for getting your drink on or escaping for that summer holiday, I think it's a must have on your playlist! And after a couple of glasses of wine, who doesn't love singing about being wasted?!


3. I Will Never Let You Down - Rita Ora
This is just a great feel good song, switch it on when you're getting ready to go out tonight and I guarantee you'll be put right in the mood to get those drinks flowing. I love that it's got quite a girly feel to it, I can image me and my girls in one of our favourite clubs outside Manchester belting it on the dance floor! Trust me, it's a must have to put in your 'getting drunk' playlist, don't try and deny the fact that you have one of those playlists - I know you do, and obviously brilliant for my holiday chart!
 

2. Waves - Mr Probz
What better way to get prepared for holiday than singing about waves? I love how chilled this song feels when you listen to it, but at the same time there's something about singing about waves that just transports you to being on holiday basking in the sun. It's more of a 'beach time listen' that a 'get your drink on' type of song. But you need those holiday chills as well, even when you're on a girls holiday - believe me! So this has made my number 2 spot purley because I love listening to it, closing my eyes and imagining that I'm on that beach.  


1. Gecko - Oliver Heldens & Becky Hill
This has actually recently hit the number one spot in the UK, knocking our Ella Henderson right off the top! Which in my opinion is a good thing but that's just me! Anyway back to my number 1 which is obviously way better and more official than the UK Top 40...
Not my usual type of easy listening feel good song but never the less this song is worthy of this spot and i'm sure that if you give it a listen you shall agree. Basically the reason that I chose it is the fact that it purely makes me imagine me and my girls at god knows what time in the morning dancing in some strange bar in the middle of Greece not knowing how we even ended up there.. and to be honest I couldn't be more excited for that experience. This is just the type of summer song that I feel NEEDS to be on that playlist of yours, even if you're not going away, get it on when you're getting glamed up for a night out and rest assured that you'll be getting that grove on in no time!


I hope you've enjoyed my top 10 holiday playlist and if you've not heard some of the songs on the list, give them a listen and get them on that playlist - I know that you'll love me for it, well I know that you do already but possibly love me more!

Maybe you have a totally different opinion on what you would have on your holiday playlist? I would love to hear what you think or if you have any suggestions for me to add onto mine - Get in touch!

Love,
