Through watching the 20th cycle of America's Next Top Model, I discovered Flixel Photos. An app and piece of software that enables you to create your own cinemagraph - or Flixel. A combination of a still photograph and video, they are a new and exciting way to show an image and tell a story. Flixel Photos will be perfect for my Next Big Thing brief, and I am looking forward to researching more into the app and company.

What I got for Christmas 2014
Christmas. I love the whole process; choosing a present (although it can be hard to think of certain family members, I'm thinking of you Nan!), wrapping it, watching it sit under the tree (in my case only for a matter of hours, I finished wrapping at 11:45pm on Christmas Eve), to seeing people's faces when they open it (silently praying they like it). And of course receiving, I can't lie.
For those who are much more organised than me, their presents had been sitting there under the tree for a little while, and despite studying their shapes and sizes, I didn't have a clue what the festive wrapping paper masked.
To say the following photo shows a lot of presents sitting and around the Christmas tree is an understatement. This year there was 9 of us on Christmas Day, the most we'd had for years. It was lovely spending time with my family and friends I hadn't seen properly since before I went off to uni. And of course, I ate and drank far too much and am currently slouched on the sofa watching everything and anything.
One of my all time favourite posts to read is what people got for Christmas, and I thought I'd share some of the goodies I received from my family and friends.

Term One: reflection
My first term of university is over. 10 weeks away from home living a brand new life and experiences.
I have changed so much in 10 weeks, and I can't begin to describe how weird it is going back to a place (home) where basically nothing had changed. I've changed a lot as a person, in a good way and for the better I'd like to think, and I have really felt my confidence and happiness blossom.
