Taking a Break

Hello! Long time no post.

The Joy of Missing Out

You may be familiar with the term, FOMO – the fear of missing out. I’m unlikely to be the only person guilty of succumbing to this feeling, especially when faced with a clash of events or a disruption to plans with friends. When fomo strikes, it can send you into a crazy mindset that leads you to believe that whatever else you do in that period of time won’t be as fun or as significant, usually taking you on a downward spiral of misery and despair… well, I’ve had enough of feeling that way!

A good friend of mine recently advised me to re-train my brain into looking at the positive side of missing out on events and occasions, and since doing so I haven’t felt the fear since.

3 Days Without Social Media

Last week, in a moment of madness, I decided I would spend three days in a social media free zone.

An easy task for some, a challenge for me.

I thought I would reflect on the experience, sharing my honest thoughts on the digital detox and how I feel about being back online.

Here goes…

5 Ways to Shake off the Blues

We’ve all been there.

The kind of day that you wish you could run away from. That anxious feeling. Worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet, but you’re anticipating to happen.

Advice I Would Give To My Teenage Self

The best advice I’ve ever been given is to never compare yourself to anyone else.

Easier said than done, trust me, but I honestly believe that the worst thing you can do is put anybody else’s life on a pedestal.

Birthday Wish List

As I prepare to turn another year older, I thought it would be a great distraction to create a list of gifts I would like for my birthday – but haven’t asked for, because I’m indecisive and not one who likes making a big deal about birthdays. Not in recent years anyway…

New Year, New Goals

I hope you all had a wonderful NYE celebrating 2015 memories and hopefully you hold plenty of excitement for 2016.

I’ve been inspired and motivated by many blog posts over the last couple of days, for one reason or another, so in tradition I thought I would type up a few of my goals for the next 12 months.

3 Bloggers Who Inspire Me | #BlogLove

The blogosphere is a wonderful place. Thousands of creative minds sharing their thoughts on a small space on the internet, who would have thought that bloggers now have an important voice within advertising and media outlets?

Last night I had an idea where I wanted to put the spotlight on three blogs and the people behind them, sharing my favourites and how they help to inspire me on those days where I’m hit with a bad case of bloggers block.

The Numbers Game

Instagram likes, Twitter followers and blog stats – it all comes down to numbers.

3 Ways to Banish Anxiety

The A Word.

No, not that ‘A’ word (for those PLL fans out there) – Anxiety.

Sharing the Insta-Love

I’m as obsessed with Instagram as the next person, so it’s only right that every now and then you share the accounts you heart the most.

I have seen a lot of these posts floating around the blogosphere recently and it’s inspired me to do my own. I wrote a similar post here a while back but let’s focus on the Insta-love for now…

Mollie Bylett // Singer, songwriter and adventure-seeker Mollie shares her travels and wise words on her Instagram account and lifestyle blog. Follow this bubbly blonde if you fancy being inspired to see the world.

Guerin Blask // Follow this portrait photographer from New York as he takes you with him on his travels around the city, capturing beautiful day-to-day moments. If you love the Big Apple then this is the page for you.

Becki Owens // As a lover of interior design (check out my Pinterest for further proof), I appreciate many accounts that relate to this interest but Becky’s caught my eye in particular. Modern yet homely decor make up many of her posts, and her Pinterest page is my new obsession.

Kitchy Kitchen // I became a fan of Claire’s when I discovered her YouTube channel (I think it was a collab video with Ingrid). She makes healthy eating look easy and incredibly delicious – and doesn’t skimp on the naughty but nice treats! A girl after my own heart.

Avenue de Sophie // As a big fan of Soph’s blog, it’s a no-brainer that I would also love her Instagram photos. She makes everything look whiter and prettier, even a plain old bedsheet – and her signature red lippy features throughout.

Lucy Laucht // Lucy’s photos are simplistic and beautiful. The kind of pictures that speak a thousand words. I’ll take whatever camera and filter she uses!

 Billie Rose // Faded photos with a pop of colour and black and white images make up this Instagram page. I love Rosanna’s style and we both share a passion for peonies and coffee art.

A Little Soap Box // I’ve been following Jill’s Instagram and blog adventures for a while now and I can’t help but like the majority of her posts. I also have major hair envy. Give the girl a folllow!

Anouska // I’ve only been a follower of hers for a few days but I’m already a fan of her monochrome with a hint of denim here and there style and filter skills. I’m also envious of her recent Olympus Pen camera purchase.
