Going to a Créole party for the first time!

By jujupage1 -
Hi guys,

Welcome back to my blog. On Friday, I went to Créole-style party to celebrate a birthday. Now if you don't know already, in Réunion, there are two main languages that are spoken. One of the languages is French and the other is Créole French so we decided to go to a Créole party.

It was a bit spontaneous because me and my sister had only just found out that we were going to be staying over night. However, we had a great accommodation in the mountains. It was this really cool gîte. My mum and my dad had a room and me and my sister also had a room. Both rooms had en suite bathrooms which were really pretty. We didn't have to walk far to get to the venue because our room was directly in front of it. The venue was beautifully decorated with a big dance floor.

In Réunion, people always bring really nice shoes to go to parties. Unfortunately, we forgot our shoes which meant that along with our really nice outfits, we had to wear our flip-flops which didn't look the best. But after a lot of dancing, we didn't really care what we looked like.

Another tradition in Réunion, is to stay up late at parties. I struggled with this because in England, parties tend to start early and end early. So by 11pm I was already completely tired and we were only just on the starters!
However, the dancing was fun and I danced to Sega for the first time. I seemed to be getting the gist of it.
Here are some photos of the night:







Hope you've enjoyed this blog post,

See you guys in another one,

Hi guys, Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be talking about the Duke of Edinburgh awards. Before we get on to the blog post, make sure to hit the follow button on the sidebar. I hope you love the blog transformation. I've been working on it for the past few days to make things more accessable and aesthetically pleasing. I hope you appreciate it! Today's shout out goes to Ladylike on YouTube. They do amazing videos. We as women can definitely relate to the videos. Please go and check them out! Let's get on to the blog post. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards. A self-improvement program for adolescents and adults. This was founded by Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. At first, I wasn't so sure about joining this program. It just didn't seem my thing; doing volunteering work and completing challenges until finally, surviving for two days in the wilderness. However, something inside me just clicked. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. By doing this, it sh...

Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post, Today, I will be talking about a somewhat interesting day in a life of me. If you liked this post, please comment, I love to hear from you and reply to your comments! I usually leave a question at the end of every blog post so you can reply to that if you want! I am also trying to grow my blogging family so please don't forget to follow! Now, let's get on to a day in a life of me!👉 I woke up at 8am on Friday the 29th of December 2017. I was still extremely tired! But I'm that type of person that when I'm awake, I struggle to get back to sleep. So, as per usual, I just scrolled on my phone till it was 9am and time to get up. There isn't a specified time from which I must get up but my family find it weird, for some strange reason, if I'm awake earlier or later. Once I am down stairs, I say "good morning" and hug my parents before heading to the kitchen. Today, my dad was assembling the island which my...

New years resolutions for 2019

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Today I'm going to be making some new year resolutions for 2019. This time last year I made a few new years resolutions for 2018 and although I succeeded at completing some of them, many of them I did not complete. That's okay, but in order to ensure that my chances of completing them are higher this year, I need to be determined and keep looking back on my goals. So without further a do, here are my new years resolutions. Enjoy! Go to Berlin. I am going on a history trip for 5 days to Berlin, Germany in April. I've got my passport ready already and I can't wait to go! Start teaching dance or do something in work experience involving dance. I am hoping to start teaching dance perhaps part-time or for a small amount of hours since I'm only 14 but I do want to become a choreographer when I'm older so I thought it would be useful. If this is unable to happen, I was hoping of asking my dance studio or my ...

Blogmas day 2- Setting up the tree!

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Yesterday was the first of December meaning we were going to get our Christmas tree. Our first stop was Tescos however because my sister wanted to get some chocolates for her friend's birthday. While we were there, we also bought some meat and cheese because my mum wanted to make a lasagna for dinner. We also bought a can of peas to give to the food bank. It's sad that we even have to give anything to the food bank but in our area I know that there are quite a few people who are struggling to get their basic needs so its nice to give something back. I was also glad to see that a lot of other people were giving to the food bank. After shopping, we got into the car to go to our nearest rectory  farm where they sell real Christmas trees.  When we arrived, we pulled down the back seat to allow for room for the tree. We then started looking for the tree. We found a good tree at first but then we decided we should look aro...
