Four Favourite // Blogs

   I love sharing my thoughts and wanderings on this blog, but I think reading other blogs is just as important so it’s not such a one sided thing ya-know? I thought I’d share with you a few blogs that I think are worth the read so we can all share the love - nawh. 

(It’s also the perfect excuse to crack out the macro lens and take some draamatic shots of my computer.. inner photography fanatic right here.)

Paris By Friday 

I’m warning you know be prepared for how gorgeous her layout, photos and writing is! You get the feeling all her posts have taken time and effort to produce, I squeal whenever a new one is uploaded.

I Need A Guide 

If I’m feeling a tad uninspired I’ll head on over and cruise through the homepage, gawping at all the fresh and unusual art work released.There’s a big range of stuff that’s included from cute sketchbook paintings to enchanting photographs.  

Tea Time With Ciara 
Written by one my closest friends of course I had to give her a mention! It’s rare that I read a blog written by someone I know personally, so shout out to my blogging buddy!

I don’t know how else to describe this blog other than totally refreshing, the layout is so clean and uncluttered it’s a joy just to look at. The locations photographed are stunning, I love scrolling through the home screen as a little escape from day to day life.  

I know for sure I’ll go onto Bloglovin’ after writing this and go "damn how could I not have included that blog?!" head on over here to see what other blogs I’ve been pouring over..

Any blogs you’ve been loving? I’d love to know..

Note To Self // Stop, Breathe, Meditate

   If you’re a regular reader on this little blog you’ve probably noticed the lack of posts coming up in the last few weeks, due to exam season just around the corner, a lot of my time has been taken up with past papers, note taking and all that jazz. Tying in with that ( check out that smooth transition! ) my last post was all about ‘powering through’ and focusing on getting all this revision done however I know how easy it is to get a bit too caught up in all this preparation for the future, whether that may consist of looming exams or something else perhaps a little more exciting. 

  During these busy next few weeks I think it’s super important to know where to stop.. for times when I'm feeling those stressy ‘can I just jump on a plane and never have to worry again’ vibes I love to grab my phone and tune in to this app called Omvana that you can download for free off the app store. I’ve tried a few of these kinda apps before but this seems to be the best one so far. With this snazzy little app you can chose to download free tracks or buy some from the store, I love how you can ‘mix tracks’ together by overlaying a guided mediation session to some clingyclangy chilled out sounds.

  I usually do this in the afternoon or evening, alone in my room and make sure to turn my phone onto ‘do not disturb’ before starting. This act of separating myself from any people or pressures helps so much in staying focused and calm, I physically feel so much more grounded and any nervous energy will have gone. 

  Whether meditation is something you’ve tried and love or maybe it’s just not for you, I think the right idea is there; stepping away from your everyday life can only do you the world of good, maybe just not for too long!
