My favourite things about Autumn…

I love love love Autumn! I defienetly am not a summer person, I hate the hot sticky English weather… so needless to say I was very Happy when Autmn officially started on 22nd September 2017 ♡ 
1. Hot Chocolate 

Yummy… who doesn’t love hot chocolate, I know I do! Is it just me or does it always seem more acceptable to drink it on the colder Months? I love to get home from work get my comfy clothes on, get under the blanket on the sofa with a nice Hot Chocolate.

2. Autumn clothes

Wellies, scalves, baggy jumpers, Ugg boots, gloves, mittens, ear muffs I just LOVE Autumn Clothes, how comfy are they? I love to just get my cozy clothes on and be all snug! Best things about Autumn is getting wrapped up in your Autumn clothes.

3. Candles 

Ok, Ok… I love ♡ candles every season & cannot go without them. Candles just make the perfect setting, my favourite scents come out in Autumn, pumpkin spice being my favourite Autumn scent. I love to get on bed, get a good film on, draw the curtains and light the candles it just makes the room instantly cozy!

4.  Halloween 

How amazing is Halloween no matter what age you are, Halloween is always an exciting time! I use to love knocking on people’s doors collecting Sweets and dressed up in all the amazing makeup & outfits my mum would get me… now being nearly 25 I love Halloween because I love to decorate my house ready for Halloween; carve the pumpkins, hang the banners up and buy as many sweets as possible for the kids.

5.  Fresh Autumn Walks 

I love the fresh air in Autmun and love going for walks in Autumn; seeing the leaves fall from the trees, seeing the concors fall to the ground, see everyone dressed all cozy and walm, getting my boots or wellies on, splashing through the puddles in the woods and the dark night walks. I find walking in the Autumn very relaxing, it’s calm and all the colours are incredible. If you don’t walk much in the Autumn I highly recommend it.

‘Me Time’

‘Me time’ is so important, I love to be around others, I’m a sociable person but I do love my ‘Me time’ something everyone needs every so often & I’m not going to lie, I love a night to just relax and enjoy my own company every few months. 

Here’s how I enjoy ‘Me Time’

1. A hot bubble bath 

 I love love love a hot soak in a bubble bath, there’s nothing more relaxing than laying in a nice hot bubble bath with beautiful scents and just shutting the world out for half an hour whilst you just relax!

2. Bath Bombs 

Bath Bombs are amazing, I have tried so many different brands and I cannot get enough of them. Running them under the hot tap and getting a surprise of what happens next, the unknown whether it’s a glittery burst or it’s a burst of colour… I love them and you always get out of the bath with super soft skin! 

3. Hot Chocolate

I love a cup of hot chocolate, especially in winter but it’s perfect for having some ‘ Me time’ I chuck lots of skwirty cream on, marshmallows, chocolate shavings and a flake sometimes… calorie overload but oh well! 

4.  Face Masks 

 Putting a face mask on is the best feeling and an even better feeling when I’m either washing or pulling it off and can see the improvement it’s made to my skin! I always make sure I try different scents, but I do have a few favourites;  strawberry, kiwi, ocean and watermelon… the watermelon ones are so refreshing! 

6. Nail Polish 

Paint my nails is something I love, I will let you in on a little secret… I never ever having matching toe nails and hand nails. Intact I always paint my toes black, I might mix it up with a little glitter but there always black. My finger nails on the other hand I love to play around with different colours from plumb to oranges!

7. Candles 

 I can’t get enough of candles, the smell of them, the cosyness it fills my home with, the colours! I just think lighting a candle can create a relaxing environment and when I’m having ‘me time’ I have to be relaxed. 

 

 

Why I decided to start blogging.

I have always loved YouTube’s & vlogers… zoella was the 1st YouTube i started following & love her chanel. I have always wanted to YouTube and vlog but if I’m honest I just haven’t built enough confidence up to get infront of a camera & talk. So a friend introduced blogging to me and it sempt perfect, I have always wanted to share my experiences with others and this way I can build my confidence up before getting infront of the camera 📽. 

I want my blogs to help other people, that is one of the main reasons I have started blogging… I want to share my experiences and hope that it releates to others. 

My blog will be a mixture of different topics: 

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Lifestyle
• Beauty
• Fashion
• General life experiences

I would love you all to comment the reasons you started blogging.  

B E Y O U !

I know first hand that a lot of Anxiety issues can build up from not being yourself, feeling like you should be like someone else, feeling like you don’t fit in, feeling like you are not pretty enough, feeling like you don’t wear nice enough clothes, feeling like you are not confident enough… that was me a few years ago.

I’m 24 now & finally feel confident in myself, the last few years of school I never could be myself… I was always the girl I thought everyone wanted me to be. I wore the makeup everyone else wore, I dressed like all the other girls, I acted like all the other girls and it was so draining! 

I am very outgoing & bubbly, and always felt in the workplace I couldn’t be myself, I had to hold myself back, I couldn’t have ‘banter’ with colleagues and this was down to the workplace I was in and the management i worked for. I was made to feel like I didn’t look smart enough, Didn’t come across proffesional, wasn’t good enough to attend important meetings & wasn’t any good at my job. Looking back I wish I had stuck up for myself back then and had the mindset I have now… by hey ho, we all learn from our mistakes. 

it’s ok to be you, everyone is different, everyone is beautiful in their own way & everyone deserves to be who they truly are. Not being yourself only builds anxiety and eventually strips you of your confidence. 

Ye, sometimes I still look at celebs and think god I wish I looked like that, I wish I had that figure but it doesn’t eat away at me… be yourself! If people don’t love or like you for who you are then those people don’t deserve to be around you. In my eyes if everyone was the same life would be boring. 

Don’t be afraid to be yourself, being yourself you will meet the right friends, the right lover, the right career and the right choices in life… because if you are being yourself none of that is FAKE.
