You know the pain: like sandpaper ripping your skin. 

But you bear with it, because those new skates cost £500 and they are so darn pretty.

I love music, especially the North-East local music scene. My obsession of unicorns is getting too much, my collection is growing out of control. I like animals so I don't eat them. Lover of all things vintage and ugly. Oh and i'm one of those ginger people. Twitter/Instagram @beccaBLC
