NYC ramblings.

Hello, Coffee Fiends and Sassy Scallions!

One word for New York?

Wow.

Just, wow. For one thing, I didn't even DARE get a taxi ride. I valued my life far too much! Every car had a ding, dent or scratch along the sides, and I don't mean small ones. Like, 'I've just hit a cyclist, three toddlers and a hobo' size.

I spent a lot of money whilst there. Two new pairs of shoes (Dr Martens and Uggs), a quill (I'm partial to some good old fashioned pen and ink), a new scrapbook (I hoard) and clothes upon clothes, upon yet more clothes... China town was also an... amazing experience. I got chopsticks, a purse, a necklace with a guitar on and a cute bamboo mouse. Not to mention some Chinese candy!

The candy out there is awesome. Much, MUCH more variety than the UK. I mean, two words; MINT M&M'S. 

WHAT?!?!

Almond snickers and peanut butter flavour, m&m's, twizzlers, candy, candy, CANDY!!

On a more elegant note, me and my mum went to Tiffany's. (swoon)
I bought myself my first ever proper ring. I'm very particular with jewelry and have a tendency to lose it, so this is a big thing. I trust myself (I think) as I've grown older, so let's see how this goes. My mum surprised me with a bracelet from there, which I also adore!

Surprisingly, the portions are not massive. Because of the heat, me and mum were not hungry most of the time, but still ate loads! Still, normal size portions + good presentation= happy Jazz.

We visited the Empire State building, and the height truly is astonishing. As with the 9/11 memorial and the centre of Central Park, all of the madness is sucked out and replaced with a tranquil atmosphere. Beautiful.
Staten Ferry was awesome, too. Seeing all the sights definitely made my holiday.

The mother and I went to 'Chicago' on Broadway as well! It rocked. We also saw 'Heather's' off Broadway, which was definitely a good choice. We just rocked up on the day! A must see.

Oh, and the subway? Easy. Piece of cake. AIR CONDITIONED AND BIGGER TRAINS.
London underground, GET YOUR #@!? TOGETHER!

5th Avenue, 34th street, Macy's, shopping, food and Central Park. Dream.

Vacation, baby.

Hey, people of the outernet!

At the moment, I am in NYC. (New York City for those who don't watch movies.)
However, I wanted to upload a blog just to remind you all that I am well and hopefully you are too! Ever since I was about twelve years old, I said to my mum how much I wanted to go to New York. I was far too young at the time, as it is a large city and I had little(ish) legs. When I was thirteen, my mum started saving the vast amount of money needed to get us there!

We timed it so that we would be going about half a year after my sixteenth and my mum's fortieth. Two massive milestones with a great reward! We are DEFINITELY not scrimping on all of the tourist-ey details, either. When we are there, we shall be;

-Going on a 20 minute helicopter ride over New York
-Tiffany's
-Shopping
-9/11 memorial
-Macys
-Central Park
-Broadway show

And loads more walking around. To be quite honest, it's seemed like a story, so I haven't been excited up until now!

With that, I'll leave you to your doing's. Happy Tuesday!

Glastonbury Music Festival!

Hello my Sassy Scallions!

Sorry I've been neglecting you for so long- It's been so hectic and busy recently, I'll admit my blog was at the back of my mind. However, Glastonbury Festival was an amazing experience!

For one thing, always remember all body waterproofs. Even if it is predicted sun. Always!
Whilst we were there, I had to buy new wellies, waterproofs and my parents had to buy new sleeping bags and airbeds; the tent is not apparently suitable for torrential rain! Luckily, it was beautiful for the last day and we had some occasional sunny spells, making it so worth it.

ALWAYS BRING WELLIES.
Because of the rain, it was deadly. There was so much mud, it was stuck to all of our clothes and it was an effort to walk straight. People were staggering around like drunk toddlers (personal experience)! Wellies will stop your feet from getting soaked and cause a good enough grip. Thankfully, Glastonbury pulled there act together for the last day and spread some bark, which I guess is better late than never. I was actually rather miffed that none was spread earlier; I saw children covered in mud, mobility scooters getting stuck and people with walking disabilities struggling majorly. The staff were (in my opinion) extremely lazy. They were more interested in standing around chatting than making sure people used the compost loo's properly (which caused it to smell awful), and my mum witnessed a boy collapsing and having a fit in the mud. The staff did not arrive for a good twenty minutes and he was still laying there an hour later, meaning that there was not actually an ambulance on its way. Disgusting.

ALWAYS BRING EARPLUGS.
The staff get to rave until the early hours of the morning, getting drunk and causing a load of unnecessary noise. If you want an alright nights sleep, bring earplugs. Also, very warm clothing, as I experienced some freezing nights which were very uncomfortable.

Apart from that (and other things I can't be bothered to moan about!), I did have a good time. The music was great and I met a few lovely people. However, I think I'll stick to Leeds and V-festival, as it had a much nicer atmosphere! Bye for now!
