Like every other person on this planet, I have dreams and goals that I want to achieve in life. Some are big (and kinda obvious) and some are small(and may seem simple). For example, I want to reach 1000 followers on Instagram. Right now, I have 313 (by the way THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 300 I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH) and to reach 1000 seems impossible and to other people maybe even a little bit petty. I honestly don't care. It is my account and my life, I choose my goals and I'm not going to let anybody interfere with them.


I can understand that you might not like or agree with someone else's dreams but that doesn't mean you should/have the right to hate on them. After all, they're not your goals. They are somebody else's and everybody does not want the same thing. It's completely natural to have different opinions to someone, I'm not saying everyone has to agree on everything. 

My point is: Don't hate on somebody because of what they want to achieve in life. 

The world we live in is bad enough as it is without even more hate and if you have something bad to say just don't say it. It isn't hard. Instead try and spread more happiness and instead of saying "what stupid dreams" why not say "I hope you achieve them". You never know, maybe by spreading happiness you may become more happy yourself. 

This was kind of a deep post today so sorry if you didn't like it. I think my next blog post will be in response to this and more about my personal hopes and dreams.

The first two pictures is from when we went to an American diner style ice cream parlor called Ice Cream & Dreams. There were loads of little touches in the shop and one of them was a sound booth thing so I took a photo. 

The rest of the photos are from when me and my family went on a walk. As you can see there is a load of flower pictures as there are a lot of flowers blossoming at the moment. My favourite photo is of the heart shaped leaf on top of the other one. What is your favourite?

It's haul time!! The other day I went shopping and spent my birthday money on items for my summer wardrobe. I asked on my Instagram who would like a haul and some people said they wanted it so here it is!

So today I'm doing a collab with Emsirose! As it summer we have decided to do a What's in my bag. I'm going to do a Whats in my hand luggage and she's doing Whats in my holiday makeup bag. Lets get started!

 I'm not actually going on a plane this year but this is what I would take if I was going on a short 2-4 hour flight. Some of the stuff I'm going to include may might you think "Why has she included that?" but I like to think that if i loose my main suitcase, I will have everything I need in my hand luggage. 


First of all, I would definitely take a comfortable bag to carry. For me personally, I would definitely take a rucksack and not a handbag because rucksacks are more comfortable and easier to carry. The rucksack I would take is the bag I use for school as i really like it and it is just the right size for carrying all my stuff.

I would definitely take my phone, my camera, my in-ear headphones and my chargers with me on a flight. I wouldn't be able to contact people on my phone but I could listen to music. With my camera i could capture any funny moments or beautiful views. Taking my chargers is kinda a no brainer! I wouldn't be able to recharge my phone or my camera if I didn't bring them. 
On short flights, you don't have the option to watch films and they can get quite boring. This is why I suggest bringing books or notepads. This why you can catch up on any assignments or books. The book I'm reading at the moment is John Green's An Abundance of Katherines. 
Lastly, I would take "handbag stuff". For me, this is my purse, sunglasses, lip balm, hand sanitizer and obviously, if you are going on a plane you will most likely need your passport. Please remember to follow airplane guidelines and only take your limited amount of liquid. 

This is all the stuff I would take if I was going on a short flight. If you want to see Emsirose's post on whats in my makeup bag click here.

Woo summer is nearly here! For many of you, this includes long summer days spent at the beach, going on holiday or just hanging out with your mates.


Some of you may think that to be able to hang around at the beach or at the pool in a bikini, you need to be skinny. Some people are already trying to diet in order to get the body they desire. You do not have to be skinny to wear a bikini.

You can be any size you want. Don't let other people stop you from wearing what you want to wear or make you diet. If you want to change the way you look because you don't like the way you look, that is okay. What is not okay, is changing the way you look because somebody else wants you to change.

People do not need to fit a certain criteria, you can be whoever you want to be. Society today makes us feel bad if we have spots, don't have a thigh gap, wear certain clothes etc. People seem to have lost the idea that people can be whoever they want to be, look like whatever they want to look like, wear whatever they want to wear.

So if you are in two minds whether to buy that crop top that shows your belly button because you don't want to be called a slut, just go for it. You can always take it back. But please, don't put it down because you are worried about what people are going to say. Who know... buying that top might be the best thing you do.

You are perfect the way you are, and you will be perfect with whatever you do with your body. Nobody else's opinions matter, the only opinion that matters is your own.

So today I'm doing a collab with Megan from Books and Beauty. Her blog is really nice so go check it out and her Instagram feed is amazing. And guess what? She also has a youtube channel! I will link everything below. We are both writing about tips for travelling so go check her post out!

1. Always be prepared. For me it is always better to be prepared. This way you will always know that you have brought everything that you need and tickets/hotels are booked and tickets are ready.  Use Google Maps to get a brief understanding of how long everything will take and to make sure you are not late for your flight. 

2. Pack lightly. Do you want to be lugging a massive suitcase and handluggage bag through the airport? To prevent this, always pack exactly what you need and try not to pack too much. Personally, I always make a list of things, then go through it and question all the items. I repeat this until I feel like I have exactly what I need. Another way to prevent this is to find a bag that is the right size. A bag too big can lead to overpacking!

3. Book events in advance. Sometimes queues for tourist places can be superduper long so it always worth checking online to see if you can buy fast lane tickets. Howerver, before wasting your money, read reviews on TripAdvisor etc. to see whether it is worth it. 

4. Take yummy food and drinks with you. If you are going on a roadtrip take lots of yummy snacks for you to eat. (I'm planning to do a summer recipes post so watch this space!) Trust me, you do not want to be sat in a boiling hot car starving hungry. I've had that experience and it is not pleasant.  

5. Try to relax and enjoy yourself. Nobody wants to spend time with somebody who is complaining. Even if you are in a really bad situation try to relax because you will find it easier to think of a solution that way. Holidays are all about relaxing after all. 

i hope this helps all of you who are going travelling this summer and i hope you have a great time! Don't forget to go check out Megan's post!

Loads of things have happened lately which is why I haven't really been posting so I thought that todays post would be an updatey post. 
First of all, my aunt had a baby! She had her baby boy last Monday and he weighed 9pounds 8ounces. Baby still doesn't have a name yet but I willl update you when that happens. 

Secondly, me and my friendship group have started spreading apart and we're no longer a group. Also, me and my internet friend are no longer friends and it just makes me realise how replacble I am and this really upsets me. 

I have started feeling a bit down and a bit grey. I will just be sitting down looking at instagram or watching youtube and I start crying. I'm not constantly sad though. I don't really understand. I feel like I'm such a disappointment. I was meant to have two collabs written and posted by now and I haven't even started writing them. 

I just don't feel like I'm good enough for anyone. 

I talked to my friend about this and she told me to just keep swimming. And then I kinda realised that everyone had days like this and you are not going to be perfect at everything. Most of the time there is always going to be someone who is better than you. But this doesn't mean that you aren't good at this thing. You just gotta be like dory and just keep swimming

This blog is my little space on the internet where I can be myself and express how I am feeling. I feel like everyone needs a space where they can be themselves and express their feelings otherwise they are going to burst. Sometimes peoples opinions and thoughts can be different to their friends' and they don't want to share them because they are worried of being judged. Then, people feel like they are going to burst and that there head is such a mess of thoughts. I get like this so I decide to write about it in this blog. Writing a blog is kinda therapeutic and it does help. For me, it takes my mind off things. 

I really encourage everybody to find a space where they can be themselves. 

Lots of Love
