October

17:00

Can someone please tell me how it is November! October has gone by so quickly, it is crazy. I didn't do much in October as I was settling into school and dealing with the school work. In September, I mentioned that I was looking for guest posts and this month I had two of them which I loved! The topics were so good and you can read them here and here. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. Thank you so much Katy and B1tsandbeautyy for writing them.

25 Reasons why I am a Feminist

17:00

Some of you may not know this about me but  I am a feminist and proud. Feminism is 

is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. Women have the vote in the UK but there are many countries in the world where women do not. I want to start writing about more diverse topics on my blog so I thought I would start with this.

Guess who is back with another Autumn post! If you read my why I love Autumn post, you will know that Autumn is my favourite season. I also love taking photos and kind of recently bought a new camera. I have been experimenting with it and am pretty proud of the photos I have taken so I decided to share them with you. 

I have always wondered how people take a pictures of the traffic trails of car lights and I was messing around with some of the settings on my camera when I discovered how to do it. Before the end of the year, I want to go to a really busy road and do it there and see what it looks like with loads of cars instead of one. If you would like to know how I did this please let me know!

Is life what you make it? | Guest Post

17:00

The phrase “life’s what you make it” is pretty much the most annoying yet simultaneously true cliché. It’s annoying because when you aren’t happy with your life, it can seem like the most difficult thing to find a way to change it. And sometimes, there just isn’t a quick way to do it.

But it’s also exactly right. Even when you have what feels like every obstacle in the world stacked against you, they aren’t what controls your life: you are. Sometimes it’s not about making everything right at once, and sometimes it’s not about getting rid of the biggest obstacle in your path first.

How I edit my Instagram photos

17:00

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post called How I edit my blog photos and you seemed to really like it so i am back with another photo editing post, this time with my instagram photos. I really enjoy taking photos for Instagram even though I forget to post often. 

The first thing I do is take the photo. Depending on where I am, I either use my camera, the Canon SX410 IS, which you can buy here, or my phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. The difference of the quality is below. Most of the time, I use my phone.

Friends

17:00

What do you think makes a good friend? For me, it is anyone who makes me laugh and who I can confide in. I am incredibly lucky and happy to have amazing friends. I know that if I am ever in need I can text them and they will help me and they are so supportive. Some of them I have been friends with for what feels like forever and some only recently, but I have made amazing memories with them. I thought today I would spread some positivity and write an appreciation post for them.

I always love drinking hot chocolate in the colder months as I am not a fan of coffee or tea. However, I wanna try something new with my mugs that is still warm so I googled it and saw "Mug Cakes" on Pinterest. I thought these were so cool so I shared one of my favourite recipes with you!
