I’m pretty proud

Hey guys,

I hope you are all doing well as usual. If not, then may I suggest you grab your favourite beverage and have a little brrak from everything. Okay? Good.

Anyways, this past week has been quite the challenge as my mum has been decorating again. Although this time, she let me pick the colour scheme and I think I chose well - not to blow my own trumpet.

Basically I wanted a pale pink on the bottom, with white at the top and a very pale grey carpet. With the exception of the extra parts like the hand rail to also be pale grey.

A while back when she was ‘preparing’ to redecorate, I picked up a few of the colour tabs from the paint section in B&Q. I have no idea if that’s what they’re called but that’s what I’m going to call them. A favourite was one called ‘Darling’ I liked that one under all the different light settings and it also proved pretty popular with everyone else too. My mum ended up getting that one and even though it has dried darker it still looks pretty. It’s not exactly what I wanted but these things don’t go to plan anyway.

My mum chose the grey gloss without me, if I was there I would’ve looked at a lighter one but the one she bought isn’t bad either. It’s definitely grown on me this past few days.

I was able to chose the carpet and that was the hardest decision. With the lovely smell of new carpet putting me off, it was indeed a challenge. However I ended up picking a darker carpet. Despite wanting a lighter one I knew that the darker one would match better, plus my mum also took a liking to that one too.

All in all I think my mum and I chose very well. She has also done a great job of actually painting everything, it looks very homely.

Last time the colours were orange and brown and I hated it. It didn’t look cosy,  calming or welcoming so I was happy to see those colours go. I am very happy with it now and I’m glad I went with those colours.

Maybe I shall even use this colour scheme for a makeup look soon. Just to be sad and celebrate haha.

Adios amigos!xo

Fate

Hey guys,

Hope you’ve all been feeling well and I’d like to start off by apologising for the quality of these blogs recently. I’ve been really busy and I hope you all understand!

This blog is going to have a pretty corny yet interesting topic that has been smouldering with me recently, it’s actually about causality. If you aren’t aware, causality is the belief that everything has a reason behind it in life. Hence it has underlying themes of ‘fate’ or whatever. If this doesn’t interest you don’t worry, it goes far deeper.

Recently I’ve had quite a lot of good strokes of luck. Almost to the point it seems like I don’t deserve half of it. Alas, before that I had strokes of bad luck and so forth. The bad things have almost always faded away and evaporated into opportunities for good things to arise into my life. It almost seems as though life has stacked so many odds against me just to see them disappear.

Personally I’m not a religious person by any means, however it seems SOMETIMES life is governed by a force (almost, sorry if this sounds far-fetched) that controls just how much negativity and positivity one can receive in a while. However who knows, maybe it’s a psychological effect. Maybe I’m stupid. Maybe there’s nothing going on and it’s all coincidental. I can just say things are finally playing in my favour! But now I’m worried when things will go downhill again. Hopefully not in the near future, that’s for sure.

Adios amigos!xo

Catch Up!

Hey guys,

So this weeks post is going to be more of a catch up, mainly because I have no clue (as always) and it’s already 12:18pm. If you didn’t catch last weeks post you can read it HERE.

I finally watched deadpool. I know, late to the party - I KNOW. I don’t know why I put it off so much but I’m glad that I finally watched it. It made me laugh out loud several times which I do love in a film. All I can say is, I’m 100% excited for the second one now which I do plan on seeing.

This past week has been amazing. Mainly because of a certain someone. And they know who they are. They’re honestly amazing and I don’t know what I’d do without them now if I’m honest. It’s been a crazy week but I’ve loved it.

Also because of the lovely weather the UK had for like three days, I started this months goals. I sat outside with my new book and I just chilled out. I was the only one st home and I had cleaned the kitchen and put some washing on so I definitely felt like I deserved to appreciate the sun shine. I’m not normally one for sitting in the sun but I actually really enjoyed it.

I honest have already ran out of things to say. But I think I’m going to town tomorrow (/today technically) so I may update this with a few purchases that I get. I’m actually in the look for a new nail polish, not that, that’s exciting at all but still. Maybe you like the colour I get, WHO KNOWS.

Adios amigos!xo

Monthly Goals #5

Hey guys,

I have to apologise before I start this post because I was all settled in bed before I actually realised it was in fact Sunday. So this may turn out a bit rushed.

If you want to read my last Monthly Goals post, click HERE.

For that post I actually said that I was going to bake more and was actually planning on baking the next day. But yet, I failed to do that too. But in all fairness I have been none stop practicing my Ukulele so I changed that to be my goal. You can also catch up on why I bought it ect HERE.

Basically now I know 'Stand by Me' by Ben E. King, and a little bit of the friends theme song. I also learned Riptide by Vance Joy but I still need to practise that one as I can't remember that off by heart.

But to say I've only really had it a few weeks, I'm incredibly proud of myself. I wouldn't say it's a hard instrument to be fair, it's pretty simple and easy to pick up. Still very proud though.


As for this weeks goal, I have planned in advance. I bought a new book (I know, crazy) which I am really excited about so I figured this months goal I would read more. And in the next one of these posts I will leave my thoughts and feelings on it whether I finish it or not.

I found that when I read 'The Girl On The Train' last year I actually got into a routine. I would come up to bed at nine and read for an hour and a half and then go to sleep. I think it actually helped my sleeping pattern too because going to sleep early, meant I woke up early. So maybe this will be a good thing to try again. So, good luck to me!

Have a good week,
Adios amigos!xo
