Time to dust off that list you gave up doing almost 12 months ago.....

KIDDING!

But seriously there's no better time than the end/beginning of the year to bust out those inspirational quotes.

I asked myself the other day if there's anything I wanted to change about myself and my lifestyle for the New Year.

And my brain decided to fuck with me because I thought "well yes....and no"

The reason I couldn't think of any New year resolutions is because everything I could do to change myself I'm already doing. I'm already getting fit, saving money and just generally being the best I can be.

If people really wanted to change themselves then wouldn't they have done it already?

Don't get me wrong I think anything that motivates you to become a better person is a great thing. But don't let the new year be the only reason you're changing yourself. Do it because you want to make yourself better regardless of the time of year.

This was why I couldn't think of anything I wanted to specifically start doing in the new year.

But as I delved into my thoughts more I started thinking "actually there are so many things I can do this year to better myself as a person" and they were all along the lines of "I could do this more/I could improve this/I could do this better"

So I guess my new years resolution is to just be me... but better

Anywho Hope you guys have an awesome year and have fun!

Travelling is something that I, like many other people, see as a goal in life. I believe the purpose of life is to explore the world you've been birthed into (as cheesy as it sounds) and to also give back to the world and just contribute something whether it's small or big but I don't want to get all philosophical in this particular post.

I could go on and on about the fact that I have so many interests that I want to explore and I probably will go on and on about it another time.

But travelling is pretty much at the top of that list and anyone who follows me on Instagram (link is below and up there on the tab thingys) will know that I post a lot of pictures of Rome because it's the most recent place I've been to. So I decided to write about it!

I highly recommend anyone who loves history to go to Rome, because I think it's safe to say that there are plenty of historical sights to see and old buildings are a given.

I mean, I saw the bloody Colosseum!

Historical artefacts aside, if you're a lover of Italian food (which I know I am) then there's no place like Rome because where else would you try Italian food other than the capital of Italy! (I quickly had to Google that one just to make sure I didn't sound like an idiot even though I was pretty sure)

I personally recommend you try out any of the many many gelato places where you can go wild with ice cream to your hearts content.

And while you're there, why not check out the world's smallest country which is literally takes minutes to get to on the metro.

Vatican City is a beautiful place with even more breathtaking buildings And you never know, you may run into the Pope. Which I almost did.

If you're lazy like me then you can hop on a tour bus to see all the main landmarks and attractions. It was so easy and simple to just buy a day ticket, Hop on the bus and hop off whenever there was a site that interested you.

But what striked me the most was how beautiful and picture perfect the city looked, it's every amateur photographer's dream, whether it's the view from the park or at the highest point in Rome where you can see the entire city, words can't describe how exquisite the views were.

The atmosphere in the streets and the squares was so vibrant during the day yet so chilled out in the evening and it felt so relaxing to be in both.

I'd love to go back one day, but let's just carry on ticking off everywhere else first ;)

CYA :D

hipster-and-thoughts

I struggle a lot with motivation.

Whilst I have all these ambitious goals in my head I know what stops me is my willpower. The actual physical act of getting up and doing something is a struggle for me. I'm not the laziest person I know but I'm pretty awful when it comes with being productive despite the fact I really want to be.

And I'm quite the hypocrite because I'm not fond of lazy people and I loathe people who have the whole "can't be bothered" attitude even though I'm exactly the same. But I'm working on that.

So I'll leave you with this.

Well hey there internet, it seems like I've gone off the face of the earth for the past few weeks, and I guess that is the case but my reasons are: a) I was phoneless for the past few weeks so I was unable to post on instagram and whatnot the way I normally would. 2) I was relying on my good old ( and I mean OLD) Samsung galaxy S3 mini so i still could have posted online but college had started and I am up to my chin in work already due to applying for university and shtuff and even though I'm currently procrastinating at the moment because I should be studying right now, I've missed being what I call "internet active" WHICH BASICALLY MEANS I HATE THE REAL WORLD AND I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE ONLINE! whoa! don't know where that came from. Anywho, I just wanted to type something up quickly so here i am :D See you guys soon with some cool stuff! CYA ;D

It's time to go back to school!

YAY?

I know, it's not always the best of times, although when I was younger I was that one weird kid (and still am to be honest) that looked forward to going back because my holidays had sucked and they were incredibly boring.

But now... I don't know how I feel about going back, I'll be glad to see people again and what not but if I'm completely honest even though right now I hate having nothing to do, I know I'm going to miss this free time when I'm well into the school year and I'm up to my neck in things to do.

Right now it's up to my ankles. like stepping into a paddling pool.

Anywho! I thought I'd make a 'Back to school essentials' video just to make going back a little bit more bearable for those of you who aren't thrilled by the thought of getting back into routine.

Or if you really love stationary then this video is also for you!

I am no makeup artist, but I thought I'd film a video on how I do my makeup everyday.

I really think I'm getting the hang of this. I mean look? I even made a decent thumbnail!

This ended up being one of my favourite outfits this summer. It may have something to do with the number of compliments I got whenever I wore it ;)

I think the reason I loved this outfit so much was because I thought the colour combination was complimenting my skin tone quite nicely and the fit of the button down shirt was amazing because it cinched in at the waist but gave an illusion of a bigger bust (which is always good in my books) and paired with the white jeans, which made my already large behind look larger (also not a bad thing) this whole compilation gave me and everyone else the illusion of an hourglass figure.

I just felt so confident and good about myself in this for all those little reasons.

It just goes to show that even the little things can make you feel great about yourself and everyone needs to realise that they ARE allowed to feel as amazing as you want :)

Hope everyone has/had/is having an awesome day.

No more introductions!

Yes I know it's been a long time but I have no excuse for you. I stopped during exam season and just didn't have the urge to get back on here.

But clearly now I do!

I wanted to start doing fashion posts because it's one my many interests so here I am doing one.

This neon pink shift dress from Primark which is only £13 has been a favourite of mine this summer.

As a bit of a curvy gal I wasn't sure this would suit me but it turned out to be gorgeous!

Just looking at this dress puts a smile on my face because of the amazing colour!

Unfortunately because it's from Primark it is only available in store however if you click on the links below or the button on the picture that says 'shop this post' then you'll find some very similar dresses for a relatively good price.

Hope everyone is having a great summer and I'll see you soon:) (hopefully)
