About Me

*Que Music* 
Now, this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside dow- I'll stop. Sorry.

My name is Scarlett-Rose and i'm 19 years old.  I'm part  Caribbean, Greek and White British and I currently reside in my home town, London.

I'll be starting university in September (2015) and I'd love to follow a creative, enlightening career path so I thought what better way to start that by creating a blog and sharing with you my interests, experiences and perceptions!

I've called my blog 'Scarlett's Notebook' because one, I'm obsessed with notebooks. (I own 50, Is that weird?) and two, this blog basically represents one big notebook (the paper kind-for all you youngsters out there who only know a 'notebook' as a a form of technology.) where I write about my life my interests.

I pretty much blog about anything that interests me, so whether that be about music, films, books, travel, food, beauty or lifestyle- I can only hope you'll join me in my blogging adventures and find something you'll enjoy! 

Welcome to my "little bit of everything" blog! xo
