It has been a while, and for that I am sorry. I feel like I have let everyone down, including myself. After the break I took in November, I promised myself that 2017 was the year I threw myself back into it. That didn't happen. The last few months have been pretty tough for me. School has been exhausting because of so many...
In half term, me and my family had a weekend away and I thought I would share with you some pictures from it. We went to a art gallery where the architecture was stunning and I had such a good time. I also took another traffic trails picture which I am so happy with. Sorry for a shorter post but I just wanted...
Today is a collab with Kate from Life In Kateish and we decided to share 10 things that make us happy as a way of sharing positivity in a world where loads of people are unhappy. 1. Learning new things I really like learning things, whether that be at school or in general and I think that is why I love travelling. Exploring...
I read an amazing post by Eleanor from the blog Eleanor Claudie a few weeks ago that I absolutely loved. She was talking about the importance of supporting other women and I really recommend going to give it a read. Inspired by her post, I am going to be sharing with you a few of my favourite bloggers that are female and talking...
My room is obviously something I spend a lot of time in, so I want to make it the best place possible. I love watching DIY videos on Youtube to try and find new ideas for my room and it is always changing! I really want to redo my room completely this year (although I said this last year!) so I thought I...
For quite a while now, I have been wanting a Fjällräven Kånken and a couple of weeks ago, I found one on Amazon and bought it with some left over Christmas money! I love it so much that I thought I would share it with you give you a little tour! As I mentioned I bought the bag off of Amazon because the...
For people who aren't bloggers, blogging can seem like quite a simple thing. When I have said to my mum (who knows about my blog) I have to write a post and it will take me so long, she says surely it only takes 10mins. I am a perfectionist, and I take so long in creating a blog post! Other bloggers will know...
Today I am collabing with Najida from The Average Gurl in a two part collab! On her blog, which you can read here, she is doing things you tell yourself that aren't true and I am doing things you should be telling yourself. So many people hate themselves and hate who they are and it really shouldn't be this way. Our aim with...
I started this series last year but I loved it so much that I wanted to continue it this year so here we are! For most people, January is quite a down year because it is straight after christmas and the weather is cold and rainy. January been 'meh' for me, with good points and bad points. Starting with a good point, one...
Dear 21 year old Laura, Hello! You are writing this in your teenage years. At the minute, you are happy with your life. You have amazing friends who support you through everything. School is kind of getting you down, in particular English but that probably won't matter to you right now. To be honest you have probably forgotten all about why you hate...
I listen to music whenever I can. I listen to it when I am my way to school, when I do my homework, before I go to bed, basically all the time! Recently, I have been expanding my CD collection as I have discovered new music that I love and I thought I would share with you some of them. My Spotify playlist...
After having a while to think about it, I have realised that I have missed out a few things from my resolutions and that is to be more aware and cautious over my finances. As a teenager, I feel like it is quite easy to forget about the value of money money, or I find it is. I do not have any subscriptions...
Reading is something that I really enjoy. I just love how I can transport myself away and lose myself in someone else's story. I find it really relaxing and sometimes the books help me with my struggles. Ages ago, right back at the start of Blossom Of Hope, I wrote a post about my favourite books and I thought I would update that...
For christmas, I received some new bits and bobs for my camera, including a tripod and a bag, and it has really inspired me to get more into photography, and not just for my blog. I really enjoy the process of taking a photo and editing it. Today I am working with Light, a new camera company, to show you my favourite place...
Loads of people, me included, feel down after christmas. I think it is because everyone looks forward to christmas and then they feel deflated afterwards. There is actually a disorder associated with this called Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. On the NHS website, it says that it affects 2 million in the UK alone. I don't think I have this but I definitely feel...
Recently, I completely changed my blog design and I loved the whole process of it. Even before it, I loved adding little things to my blog and changing it around. I feel like the whole 'new year, new me' idea can definitely be applied to a blog design. If you are looking to change your blog up, sometimes its hard to know where...
After 2016, I am very excited to move into 2017. I have a lot of stuff planned and I have identified the aspects of my life that I want to change. Today I thought I would share with you all that is happening because I am very excited! Last year I found that by telling you my resolutions, I wanted to try and...
