Gossip Girl, one of the most iconic programmes out there and a show I personally can't get enough of. I don't think it matters how many times you rewatch the seasons, you never get bored of Blair's sass or Serena's naivety or how gorgeous Chuck and Nate are, forever crushing hard. Oh, and let's not forget how amazing some of the wardrobes are, I don't know about you but these kids are living my dream life. Aside from all of that the show does actually teach a lot of very valuable life lessons and today I'm going to share with you just a few.
I always get messages on Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat from people who want to start blogging and are too afraid to take the leap, I know there are a lot of blogs out there and to some people it may seem slightly intimidating (boy I know I was terrified when I first started and there was a lot less out there back then). Over the years my blog has turned into my life and I really do recommend starting one to most people, there are so many things you never even dreamed you'd learn from writing on a little website online but honestly you'd be surprised. I'm at the point where it's taught me so much and I'd feel so lost without it, something I never expected to happen, so today I'm going to give anyone who's nervous or worried to start 7 reasons why it could be the best decision of your life. Okay maybe that's a slighttt over exaggeration but we'll go with it okay?
So it is officially 2018 wahheyyy! To be honest I really don't know where the time's gone, I feel like it's just been stolen from right out underneath us but I'm not complaining about that. The first few years I had this blog I was a proper sucker for 'new year new me' posts and resolutions and shizz however last year I drove past that (because we all know it just isn't true) and did a post on '16 Things I've Learned In 2016' which you can find HERE. I was going to do something similar this year but most of the things I learnt are pretty much the same so I thought it'd be pointless to bore you all with the same post AGAIN. Now we all say that a new year is going to be the change of us, but facing the facts we all know deep down it never is. I say I want to go to the gym or I want to eat healthy but they're all so unrealistic and impossible resolutions to keep to that you know they're just entirely pointless so this year I've decided to give myself just one goal.. to focus on myself.
Now there is nothing wrong with living your life as a single lady (let's all high five in this together), whether it's by choice or just by pure unluck it's something we should enjoy. No drama, no arguing about what to watch on Nextflix, having a whole bed to ourselves, just plain out having no problems - unless you're one of those people who isn't in a relationship but still has relationship problems, girl I feel ya. At the end of the day there is nothing wrong with being single but I'm sure quite a few of you are also bored of certain comments, I know they are meant in a nice way but they just come across.. not so much.
If you've been reading my blog or following any of my social medias for a while now then you will know how much I love Autumn and how much it excites me. I, and I'm not even remotely exaggerating here, spend the entire rest of the year looking forward to and planning for Autumn. One of the most popular questions I get is "so why do you love it so much? What's so great about it?" and let me tell you I have one long ass list to answer that with (if I'm being a bit sad here don't tell me, ignorance is bliss right?) so naturally I decided I had to share with you a few of my points as to why I love Autumn so much. So without further ado here are some of my favourite things about Autumn! I'll try not to include too many, promise.
I apologise for not uploading in a while but I do have a legit excuse this time (for once).. I've been on holiday. Okay it wasn't anywhere fancy abroad, I may have stayed in the country but I did travel 5 hours so maybe we could call it a break? Yeah, we'll go with that. I went on a family 'break' to Weymouth in Dorset and oh my gosh was it gorgeous! We packed so much into such a short space of time so we could make the most of it which is why I've decided to do separate posts on everything as there's just so many photos. Firstly I've decided to show you all Monkey World which is the first thing we did, personally I never even knew it existed but hey ho, the monkeys were literally the cutest things! They were quite difficult to get photo's of though with how packed it was and bearing in mind there was a fence between us which made it 50 billion times harder unfortunately. Quick warning, all these Weymouth Diaries posts I upload will be mostly picture based as I took quite a few, so enjoy!
We all have bad days, that's just something every single one of us has to go through and whether you have the occasional off days or pretty much every day is a bad day it's super hard not to let it overpower you. Lately I've been feeling pretty down in the dumps and I've been struggling to stop it from affecting my daily life (which is never a good idea, trust me), depression is a bitch but instead of letting it take my life downhill like I used to I'm trying my hardest to just carry on. So whether you're depressed or generally just having an off day, here are 5 things you should remind yourself daily.
As soon as I start blogging about how the weather is getting colder and Autumn is coming the sun decides to pop up and pay a surprise visit and I am not liking it. However we are coming up so close to September so soon Summer will be officially over and I will be in my own little heaven. This post has been sitting in my list for ages but for some reason (god knows what) I've just never gotten around to uploading it. All bloggers, and I mean all, have confessions like these that they had to admit, especially to themselves which is why I'm writing this post so we can all rejoice in how we deffo don't fit into the perfect blogging image that we all know doesn't actually exist. We all have things we need to work on and let's be real, if we don't admit what they are we'll never motivate ourselves to actually work on them, so moving on here are a few of my blogger confessions.
To my surprise a lot of you seem to like my blog related posts, whether it's advice or how to's they seem to be my most popular and my most viewed by far. Now I'm not an expert blogger and I'm not going to pretend to be, sometimes I can be the most unorganised person known to man (it will be my downfall one day I swear), but when it comes to this blog I at least try to get myself together and make it relatively easier for myself. Try being the keyword here guys. A lot of blog planners I see online are just too complicated, they have too many boxes I feel like I need to use but have nothing to put in and it really frustrates me, although they are helpful! I just thought I'd share with you the weekly blog planner I use, I like to keep it quite simple which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea but for me personally I find it so much easier and less daunting.
I planned and photographed this post at the beginning of the summer, now as it's coming to a close and the weather has deteriorated majorly I've actually decided to upload it. This girl really needs to work on her timing's doesn't she. I thought I'd still post it anyway as even as we go into Autumn my base makeup will probably still stay the same for the most part so it can count for both Summer and Autumn. Just gotta add, is anyone else super excited for the hot weather to be over and for Autumn to hit?! Deffo going to plan a ton of Autumn posts (and not to forget an Autumn Instagram theme) as it's my favourite season and I just can't handle my excitement! And Halloween?! Buzzing is an understatement! Could I say Autumn any more times?
Lately every line I write for this blog I delete as soon as I read it back, I've sat here stressing for hours countless times trying to get things out but it's like my heads empty. However that isn't the problem, the problem is that in reality my head is too full. It's brimmed with things that need filing into sections to help me feel clearer but instead everything's just swimming around making me feel lost and confused, and, well, like a complete mess.I can't think clearly or rationally because everything's so muddled up and I can't unravel any of it. Generally I don't have any problems, there's nothing major going on right now for me to feel like this but for some reason every little thing that shouldn't be a problem is. My brain has made problems out of nothing and now I feel like one giant puzzle that I can't put together.
Makeup Revolution are a brand I have loved for a long time, but only recently have I actually realised how much I love their makeup. I remember going to the MUR Halloween event last year and it really sparked my interest in trying more of their products, although my bank account is deffo not happy with this. When I saw this highlighter on the Superdrug website I added it straight into my cart, it was basically love at first sight and I just couldn't help myself. When it finally came through in the post I died of happiness and was ecstatic to try it on my face so here is my review of Makeup Revolutions Skin Kiss Highlighter in Peach Kiss!
