Monthly favorites #1

                                                               

#1 reading

Although right now my priorities are my exams, every now then I like to take a break and usually this consisted of reading hours on end. These are a few of my favourites. ‘How to read pattern’, ‘Not that kind of girl’ and ‘Fashion now’. All these book are easy reads that can be found on amazon.

#2 snapple

Snapple has to be my all-time favourite beverage right now as there are so many flavours, if you get board of one (which I guarantee you won’t) there are plenty others to try. Another thing I love about snapples are that under every lid there is a ‘snapple real fact’. Mine was #823 ‘Sailors once though wearing gold earrings improved eyesight’!

#3 music

Already 2015 has been a great year for new music. Recently I have enjoyed listening to a Spotify play list called Hot Hits UK. It features music from Justin Bieber, Galantis, Chris Brown and many more. I highly suggest you give it a listen.      

#4 Zara

I will admit, I’m a shopaholic. But how can you not be, when zara has the most amazing SS15 collection! From floral dresses to gladiator sandals, its utter perfection. It’s impossible not to come out with at least 3 or 4 bags full. I mean it’s a new season, I need new clothes…!

                                     

#5 realTechniques

Not so long ago it was my 16^th birthday and as one of my presents I received from my family, eight beautiful brushes by the brand realTechniques. They. Are. Amazing! I honestly don’t know why I haven’t invested in them soon. I say invested as there not on the cheap side, but from a non-makeup specialist, they’re 100% worth it!

Yours sincerely,

Monday Morning Quotes #1

       (Photo from we heart it, text added my me.)

“Live life to the fullest” – Simple and sweet. Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American author and journalist, who was almost killed in two successive plane crashes that left him in pain or ill health for much of his remaining life. The quote symbolizes how you never know when your last day is or if there’s going to be a tomorrow, so live your life to its full.

You can do anything you put your mind to

Nothings impossible unless you make it that yourself. Nobody can get in the way of your dreams and ambitions but you. So go for it, what’s the worst that could happen? Failure? Embarrassment? We've all been there, but went you have your dream at stake, isn't it worth the risk? Here are 6 easy steps to get you through the process:

1. Do it! – As long as your dream is safe and has a positive outcome, the first step to succeeding is, surprise surprise, to do it! This may seem easier said than done but in a realistic sense, you can do anything you put your mind to.

2. Ask for help – A common mistake everyone makes every now and then. Don’t be afraid of the word ‘help’. Believe it or not even Beyoncé asks for help! And if queen B can, so can you! 

3. Deadline – Make a plan of when you want to succeed your goal(s), this way you’ll have a clear plan of when and how you can meet them.

4. Relax – Take time to breath. Although this may be your dream, somethings take longer than others. By this I mean if it doesn't seem right at the time, take a step back and try again later.

5. Preparation – This applies in multiple areas. Prepare to start the journey you’re about to embark on. Or prepare for the best or worst case. If you think of the worst thing that could happen and times it by 10, whatever happens it could never be worse than the worst! 

6. Have fun – It may seem corny but it’s your dream, you should enjoy the journey as much as the outcome. By doing so you’ll remember the whole experience as a good one!    

Yours sincerely,
