A PRETTY SKY AND MY SISTER - PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEORGIA

Hey you!

I know it has been a while, but i will explain the many reasons in another post this week! 
but for now, this post is some photo's I took recently of my sister. I recently decided, that I really want to take photography a bit more serious. mainly because it makes me so happy and I want to do more of what makes me happy!
I love the whole process of finding the location, taking the photo's of course and then editing them is just the cherry on the cake! I love seeing the end result and loving the images even more when i got the final images!
I hope you like these kind of posts, i hope that there will be more to come!

MY FAVOURITE NETFLIX SERIES

Hey you lot!

This post is a bit random, but I thought it would be such a good idea to do this post, as my friend recently (FINALLY!) got Netflix, and finished a series and asked me if there was anything else that she should watch. and of course, I got a little bit excited when I started telling her about the brilliant series that I have watched on Netflix and I thought I would share some of my favourites, Now a lot of you may have watched some of the obvious ones but I hope there's at least one or two series you haven't watched yet! I love them all for different reasons and I believe they are all worth watching!

- How To Get Away With Murder

- Black Orphan

- Girl boss

- Pretty Little Liars

-  Breaking Bad

- The QA

- Jessica Jones

- Stranger Things

- 13 Reasons Why

- OZARK

If you have any good series or Documentaries on Netflix, feel free to comment them below! I sometimes find myself scrolling up and down on Netflix for so long, trying to pick something I like the look/sound of. Which is why I prefer it when people recommend them lol.

So until next time beautiful people!

COFFEE WITH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW

Hey you!

As always, I hope your all well. can you believe we are now in September!? this year is flying by again! I just wanted to share some more photo's from the recent holiday, I went for a early morning coffee at this lovely place! It has an infinity pool and a restaurant that has the most amazing views ( perfect for a sunset dinner!). It was probably one of two places that I managed to get a decent coffee! you know what it's like when travelling, you really appreciate a good cup of coffee! with a view, which is even better.

I am struggling with ideas for posts at the moment, if you have any suggestions or requests then please don't hesitate to leave a comment for me! I would love to know what you enjoy reading.

also, my little cousin, who is only just turned 6 years, has done his first little YouTube video! of course, I know that a lot of my following isn't children lol but I would love for you to show some love on his video and 'Like' the video, he loves YouTube and he wanted to do a Lego video and that's what he done! Thank you in advance!

LEARNING TO LOVE MYSELF

If you asked me if I loved myself at the beginning of 2017, I would have said yes, but I would have been lying through my teeth! and it wasn't until I was reading a few different empowering blog posts and online articles that I really thought deep about it and realised that I really don't love myself enough. and then of course, It got me down, thinking about how no one is going to love me if i cant love myself.. blah blah!! These negative thoughts may have some truth behind them but HOW ANNOYING! the negative thoughts do not help one bit, I just end up in a downward spiral if I dwell on the sad thoughts.

 

So, I started changing my thoughts daily (mind you, I'm not saying it was easy and it still isn't easy) and its just the little things that you can change about how you think, that can make all the difference in the life you lead. I saw a quote that I kept in mind, 'Its not about how you react, its about how you respond'.

 

When you start loving yourself, your whole outlook on life changes and the sooner you change the way of thinking the better! I try to keep myself inspired, think positive, create your own happiness!

below I have listed just a few things that have helped me and continue to help me with this rollercoaster ride called 'Life'!

 

 

Find your happiness

now you can find this in so many different things, its about whatever makes you happy.. then do it! whatever realises those happy thoughts, helps clear your head and just keeps you calm and at peace. I found mine in exercising again and reading books and photography. all three are my go to everyday (although, exercising everyday isn't the most fun lol I would be lying to you all if working out is my most favourite activity lol) but all help me to keep my mind clear and helps me feel a little better and more like myself.

I haven't tried it myself but my friends swear by meditation or yoga or even simple things like going for a walk once a day, having a long bath with some nice bath oils. anything that you know makes you feel better in yourself.

 

Think more positive

This is honestly, the most easiest of them all once you start doing it on a daily basis! honestly! if your one of those people that, when your having a bad day.. its a really bad day and one thing after another. this used to be me, and not going to lie, I do have my moments when I go off track a little bit but it doesn't last as long as it used to.

I started to not let the 'little things' bother me, if something doesn't go right, don't let it get to you just brush it off and think positive. don't let one little thing ruin your whole day!

 

surround yourself with positivity and happiness

life is a funny ol' thing isn't it!?

I say this because I realised so much after a while of changing how I processed things and how I lived my life. when I was trying to be more positive and try to change my life for the better mentally and physically, and of course with age, I started to see people for potentially how they really are.. and it wasn't always a good thing. it was/is hard when it happens, especially when you have been friends for many, many years, but how I see it, that's just life! life is hard and everything happens for a reason and everyone has their own path in life, + not everyone is supposed to be on the same ride as you - and that's ok!

doesn't mean I don't still love and care for these people, but just means that I just have to do so, from a distance. when you change your thought process, you just want happiness and generally good vibes around you.. sometimes it can also encourage others around you to change slightly .. but again, people will only change or adapt their lives if they want to.

 

Always put yourself first

Sounds so selfish doesn't it!?

well it isn't!.. when it comes to your own happiness and self love this is paramount! no one is in charge of your own happiness except yourself! people can have an affect on your happiness but its down to you how you deal with it! is something or someone isn't bringing anything good into your life then you have the control to change that, so knowing what is good and bad for your life is so important. its time to put yourself first when it comes to controlling your own life!

 

I hope some of these things help at least one of you, I just wanted to share something abit different and I enjoy doing posts like this because they are also a reminder for myself in the future.

SUMMER 17'

 

 

Hiya People!

I know it has been a very long time again, I didn't realise the last post was in April! I did draft a couple of posts that didn't post (which is kinda annoying!) so I thought I would quickly do a post, sharing a picture of my sister and I, a couple of weeks ago when London had that beautiful heat wave! But I hope you regular readers are well and haven't lost hope in my blog lol

It has been abit of a crazy few months, I probably haven't been in the best mind-set to sit down and be positive and write about things that I probably wouldn't want to talk about, so that's why there hasn't been any blog posts recently. but I am back! and feeling a lot more positive and motivated!

Keep an eye out for some more posts this week!

MY WAYS TO FIND INSPIRATION FOR BLOGGING

 

I think people call it 'Bloggers block', and boy I have had my fair share of this the last month or so! mainly because I have been working a lot and just haven't got round to drafting blog posts, but I am back today with some of the things I do to get some inspiration for posts. I hope they help you with some ideas and inspiration!

 

Browse social media - Instagram, Blogs, Pinterest, Tumblr. I think we all do this all day everyday and I think if you explore pages that you don't normally look at, you will be surprised at what you find! I could spend hours browsing on them and after a while, I would just get inspiration, whether it is for a blog post or an outfit I could put together or a makeup look or a cute makeup dressing table set up that I stumbled across on Pinterest.

 

Google! - have a look on Google, type in what you want to know and then have a browse through the websites or mainly blogs that have got long lists of blog post ideas or titles or inspiration. this isn't something I do as much now but last year I did find myself going to Google for some help and in the process I found some of my favourite bloggers!

 

Go outside - go shopping, go for a walk and get some of that h2o! I have sat at my laptop for so long, trying to figure out some ideas and started posts that I just wasn't passionate about, so I end up deleting it and I am back to the beginning again. now I tend to just give myself a little time and if I cant think of anything, I close my laptop and move onto something else. listen to some music and distract yourself and trust me you will get inspired by something or someone!

 

Get a note pad - grab yourself a pen and just doodle some post titles or subjects that you know about or are passionate about. I'm not saying write down a blog post but just keep notes or just write/draw ideas and just roll with it. I tend to do this a lot, if I am out working and think of a blog post idea, I quickly right down everything that pops into my head, it is mainly random words and small sentences, simply because I when I go home and sit with the laptop, I normally think of even more things to add to an idea or sometimes even think of another post idea. just get creative! its your blog, so you can talk about whatever you like!

 

Give your blog a makeover - its like getting a new pair of shoes or a sexy highlighter when your feeling a little bit shitty or when you just feel like treating yourself lol there isn't anything wrong with investing in something that your passionate about and enjoy doing. I updated my blog a few months ago, and it was the best thing I did and was so easy. There are so many websites that sell blog layouts, so have a look around and find one that you like! scroll down to the bottom of my page and check out the designer of mine, he even set mine up for me (as I didn't have a clue where to start! I am still coming to terms with html guys lol)

3 THINGS I DID TO GET OVER A BREAKUP

 

 

I think a breakup, at the time, can seem like the worst thing that could possibly happen at that moment in time. well that's what I thought at least! and I continued to think this for a while and I just couldn't get past it. I really did struggle, I got depressed, I put on weight and I did things that I didn't normally do. It took me a couple of months, to finally start to move on ad begin to clear my head. anyways I am blabbing, I just thought that it could be a good post idea and a gentle reminder of how I

got through it, even when I really thought I couldn't.

 

 

Started going for runs and gradually getting into fitness

Any form of exercise helped me so much and it was the short runs and getting a fitness bike that kept my mind going. any time I felt sad/angry or any type of feeling, I would literally getting changed and go for a run or a walk, to clear my head. I now find exercise as a form of therapy and our body's and minds are all connected and I had to go through some deep pain to figure this out. so now I have got myself into the habit of, as soon as I start to feel stressed or low or having a shit day, I know I need to get to the gym or just do some exercises in my room. This is my top tip, as I found it works best for me.

 

Spend time with friends and family

when your first get into a relationship it is so exciting and fun and the butterflies are there and everything is new - best feeling ever when in the moment. but regardless of being in a relationship or having just got out of a relationship, some girls are guilty of neglecting their friends or not making as much effort as your normally probably would. a lot of time, it is harmless and not done on purpose but as I said before, honeymoon period is so real and we all get caught up in our feelings lol. so make time for your friends and family, make memories, laugh and just do things to keep your mind busy.

 

Get lost in a book

 I do love getting lost in a book and I didn't realise how much this would make a difference to keeping my mind busy as much as it did. It took a couple books to find authors that I enjoyed reading but once I did, I was finishing books after 4 days. and plus, there are lots of self-help books nowadays that you can get lost in and slowly repair yourself.

MY HAIR

 

 

 

My hair, like everyone, has good days and some not so good days lol but today wasn't that bad, so I thought I would share some things I do to maintain my curly locks!

If you have been following my blog for a while now, I have posted about the Ogx Argon oil a few times and it was my go to product last summer, I have lost count to how many times I have re-purchased it!
Just for reference, my hair is super thick and very long and loose curls with some slight frizz. my hair is also very heavy now, because of the length, so the curls have dropped compared to when I had shorter hair.
Before I wash my hair I tend to have an idea of what I will be doing to my hair, for example: if I am planning on straightening my hair once dry then I don't normally use the same products to when I am leaving it curly. when I am just being lazy and want to leave it curly then I wash with shampoo and I tend to use a deep conditioner or sometimes a hair mask, I brush it whilst its still wet and then I give it a shake with my fingers and let it dry a little more. then I use the argon oil, for me personally, it helps define my curls and gives it a beautiful shine! (also smells SO good!). over the years I have coloured my hair, so there are parts of my hair, (mainly the top back of my head from my roots down) that are a bit more frizzy for my liking, so this is when I tend to use the styling mousse to help tame it a little bit and of course mousse gives a lot of volume - volume is not something I need as I have so much hair lol but it seems to work for me!

If you have any tips or products that you recommend for curly hair or anything that is good for the frizz then please do let me know! :)

I THINK I WANT TO GO TRAVELING!?

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hi guys!

I have been debating whether to mention this on my blog or not but I just thought why not!? I wont be going till next year but I think it would be a good way to share my plans and research as I go along to help others, and it also allows me to get advice from people that know a bit more about this than me lol

I have only really the last few weeks finally decided I am going to actually do it lol and since then my sister has said she would love to come with me and experience everything with me - which I am so happy about!

We both have said a number of places we would love to visit and we have roughly decided that we would want to leave end of next year and plan to go with enough funds for at least 3 months and potentially do some work and earn some pocket money to stay travelling for as long as possible.

I have found some amazing blogs with amazing tips and tricks, that are helping with where to start with organising the trips and a few of my friends have helped me with starting planning and where to visit etc. I think I will do another post with how I plan where to start this adventure and other things that I have to consider.

Below I have left a few tips to where to begin your travels!

although, there are lots of things to consider, I have given you some that people have told me to think of first.

1. Think of when. give yourself a month that you want to start traveling and then decide where you want to go and what you want to see or experience in these places, so you can make the most of your time there.

2. Do your research! Look into any visas that you may require and if you plan for volunteering or working whilst in certain destinations then you will need to get all the required documents. and keep copies of all these sort of documents with a friend or family incase of emergencies.

3. Ensure you research an estimate amount of money you will need/want to take with you. and also remember than you will have to arrange to cancel or have money left in a bank account for any bills or direct debits that you may have to continue paying. or even try to get them paid off before you travel. and keep money left aside for plane tickets to return home, so no matter what you will always have the money there to get home.

4. Make the most of useful websites and Apps that can literally plan your travels for you or at least help with places to stay in the local areas that you plan on staying with. always ensure that you have looked for the cheapest flights possible ( Skyscanner is a popular one!) also keeping an eye out for flight sales that go on throughout the year could also help with reducing spending.

5. Try not to over plan things and don't research too much - simply because things could change and you may change your mind or take a different route. Ensuring your laid back to the idea of travelling will ensure you make the most of the whole experience! You don't go travelling to plan every single detail and run on a time schedule like you do when your at home living your 9-5 job, so live in the moment as much as possible and do things that you wouldn't normally do!

I will keep you updated on my plans people! I am so excited to start saving and making the most of this world we live in.

Till next time,

MY 4 BLOGGING GOALS FOR 2017

 

Start outfit posts

I would love to grow the confidence to post up outfits that I put together this year! I love fashion and just putting together outfits, so this year I would love to be able to share that side of me on my blog - watch this space!

 

Makeup Looks

Of course, I have made it very clear that I love makeup, so trying to post some more makeup looks would be amazing! Its just making sure you have the time and patience to get the shots lol because lets face it, it is not the easiest thing to get the right lighting, angle, and trying to get everything perfect (that's the life of social media! it seems to portray everything as 'picture perfect' and that isn't always the case!) but hopefully I can get some makeup posts up in the future!

 

Grow my blog

I have had my blog for a few years but only last year, I actually took it a bit more seriously and really enjoyed putting up posts. So, of course like anyone that blogs, they want their content read by people. I don't get caught up with numbers and stats too much, simply because I didn't start blogging for the stats but for myself, so growing it would be amazing without really trying, if that makes any sense? lol

 

Don't overthink post ideas

I tend to do this a lot, normally when I am struggling with post ideas. I start worrying about what content to post and I just end up giving up and close the laptop. you start thinking of 'will people read this?' 'what if someone else has a similar post?' 'this is a pointless post' - all those sort of things run through my head and its like I am already convincing myself not to post anything, so this year I want to not care so much about post ideas and trust that if I enjoyed writing it or its something I want to talk about then just post it and not overthink it!

 

Till next time,

THIS TIME LAST YEAR

Alternative Fujifilm intax mini
 

Hi guys!

so a reason why I chose to do this post, was that I was randomly on Facebook, and if you all know, they let you know what you was doing a year ago lol and mine was this!!!

let me tell you, it did not make me happy ha! I was in Egypt with my sister and was sunning it up in scorching hot weather! I found a load of polaroid's that I took when we was on holiday and I hadn't shared them, so this was a perfect excuse to do so! I sadly have to wait till September to get away to a nice hot country.

Any of you going on holiday soon!? or any getting holiday blues right now? lol

 

Till next time
