The Start of Something New...

... yes, I did just use HSM for inspiration for my title *facepalm*

Anyway, hey everyone, long time, no see! ... Well, speak lol.

Since it's been so long, and lots of things have changed, I've decided to start a fresh with my blogging - coincidentally on New Year's Day - so welcome to the new (and hopefully improved somewhat) blog, and to any potential new followers who missed out on my previous blogs! I thought I'd use this first post to properly explain the reasoning behind this change and to assure you that yes, it is still me, that crazy girl Lucy who was once a Demelza Teen. Which brings me to the main reason for the blogging switcharoo...

As some of you may remember, I used to volunteer for Demelza Hospice Care for Children - a respite service I myself used to access - for my college course and was "blogily" christened Demelza Teen. That was four years ago now!! Having finished college two years after, and my position not fitting academically with my Uni course, I left the Marketing and Communications team and let my volunteer registration expire. I did, however, continue blogging as Demelza Teen for a while after this.

Though I no longer volunteer, I am now part of the transition team and hoping to start up a transition mentoring scheme in the not too distant future. But, even more basically than this, I'm no longer a "teen" either! So, really, the name "Demelza Teen" no longer works - I'm 23 and am not blogging for them anymore. Yes, I still attend transition meetings, but personally I feel that I can have a lot more (grown up) freedom with the topics I cover in my blog if it's no longer affiliated directly with a Children's Hospice...

Wouldn't want to get myself into trouble now would I.. ;)

Speaking of Uni, I've just finished my first term in my third year on the Counselling, Coaching and Mentoring course and, quite honestly, I have no idea where those first two years have gone?! See... told you a lot has changed, and this is just the start!

I'm also firmly settled into my new adult respite place - Jacksplace, some of you may remember me mention it before - so I thought it would be a little wrong to be talking more and more about Jacks and less and less about Demelza, still being named Demelza Teen.

I'm absolutely bursting with excitement right now, excitement to start afresh with my blogging and once again give you all a little insight into my crazy world! ... But I've rambled on enough for now haha.

So, as I once used to say, speak to you sometime lovelies x

Wench Wars: Disney Villains

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a WENCH WAR!! So, during a recent perusal of Twitland, I came across a blog post from a good friend of mine, Carrie ( Life on the Slow Lane ), regarding her top 5 actors. So I asked her about it. She said she'd recently had the privilege of being let loose on another blogger friend of hers, Mitch's ( twodoughnuts ), page to educate the world on her top 5 songs. Naturally, this didn't end too well and resulted in her choices being slated upon Mitch's return lol. However, something good did come of it - Blog Wars! So now Carrie and Mitch are warring it out via blog, challenging each other at their top 5s. It's actually quite funny! So, needless to say, I wanted in... But rather than me joining a feud with someone I don't even know, Carrie has gallantly agreed to take on a second separate challenge. Behold, Wench Wars! And to start this new battle of the wenches, what better than Disney? Although, ther...

Show Yourself...

I just had a major realisation! ... I'm Elsa!! Yeah, I know! ... Alright, maybe not but the song title spoke to me for this one, ok? But I did genuinely have a somewhat "mind-blown" moment, which really doesn't happen very often, does it? Even to Little Miss Thinkalot over here... I'm sure there's some sort of irony in there somewhere? Anyway, I was having a conversation with one of my very best friends yesterday and it occurred to us - how many people take for granted the simple pleasure of being able to "see" themselves whenever they feel like it? You're probably reading this thinking ' everyone has the ability to see themselves, what are you going on about? You crazy girl... ' and, up until yesterday, I'd be inclined to agree with you that I'd probably gone a little bit more bonkers than I already am! But what I'm getting at here isn't just being able to see yourself, it's being able to see your body in all i...

Technical Difficulties

How did we survive without technology? This is a question that I regularly hear, mostly regarding phones and computers, social media and Google, and usually from - but not limited to - Gen X folk (because, let's face it, they lived without  this type of technology for quite some time, longer than us millennials/Gen Y-ers anyway). With today's technologies, we're able to connect with people half way across the world with the click of a button, or find the answers to questions within minutes without having to carry around a massive encyclopedia, and most of us are now at the point where our lives seem to erupt into chaos if the internet goes down! However, this all pales into insignificance when you think about the advancements in medical technology; a lot of people really wouldn't be able to survive without it, myself included (bit of a morbid notion, I know, but it's true!), and this winter has really brought this thought to the forefront of my mind. Country li...
