Is it just me or has this summer been extra long? Maybe its because I'm taking two blocks of summer courses that are never ending (yup worst dcision I ever made).
It's a new month therefore time for a new beginning especially since july hit me in th head pretty hard.
So I thought I'd set myself a few simple goals.
My main goals for this month:
- Always stay positive
- Don't give up hope in any aspect of my life ( studies / friends/ blog etc)
- Get back to posting at least 1 post a week for the sake of my sanity.
- Smile, even if I'm sad or if there is no reason to
- Drink 2 bottles of water a day
- Leave the house ! Breathe some fresh air ! Go for an aimless drive
- Don't procrastinate ( My biggest number one flaw )
- Always remind myself that everything is and will be OK.
- DYE MY HAIR - something that i have never done and never thought i'd do because of all the damage dying it does.
- Try at least ONE new thing that I haven't done before.
I think that every month should be a new start to every one of us and that you as well should have a mini goal list, even if it contains just one or two things and let me know what they are.
- First of all, I'd like to share with you one of my ALL TIME favorite things which happens to be a Dr. Seuss Quote :
Let that sink in...
Ok, so this quote is what I live by on a daily basis, it is actually the quote that made me finally actually write a blog because well, IT'S TRUE. If you really think about it, the true people in your life will support you no matter what you do or who you become, they love you. Whilst others will just try to put you down and be negative, these people do not want your happiness. They don't matter.
Now, on this beautiful Sunday morning, I thought I'd pop into Carribou and snap a few pictures for you, as well as sharing some of the thoughts of this week.
- A snack that I am totally truly loving (which i got my friends also hooked on) is Carribou's Chocolate covered Pretzels. Okay so this is how I'm going to describe it :
The Chocolate surrounding the pretzel is a thin layer of dark chocolate, but the salt on the pretzel, once you crunch on it, it is the best combination you can ever taste. The dark chocolate does in no way overpower the biscuit, and yeah yeah I know what you're thinking, eew dark chocolate it's so bitter and blegh and nasty. But I honestly can say that you cannot taste any of that when you eat it. I for one am not a fan of chocolate whatsoever, but this, this hits the spot, with a side of tea... mmmhhm nothing better. Try it, I know u'll thank me.
- Can we just take a minute to admire how cute this "mug" is? As i write this, i keep eyeing it. I want it really badly, but my friend had a good point when telling me that this is an easy DIY kind of thing and not really worth the money.
Yeah so that is a cute thing....
Moving on !
- I've started to do this thing where I allow myself to just pause for 10 minutes, sit back and just do some deep breathing. This really calms me down and relieves some of my stress. I become more conscious of my lungs and i therefore am grateful for having them as healthy as they are. You should do the same, you won't regret it.
- This flower pencil. Look at it. It's perfect.
Not only do i love using it, I love putting it behind my ear which makes my hair look as though i'm on a tropical beach somewhere. Plus i love leaving the flower part sticking out of my bag as i walk around, it's the perfect spring accessory for any outfit.
I got it from Accessorize.
- Songs...who hates songs? Nobody that's who.
This week I have had 2 non-stop constant replay songs both by the same singer - John Legend. One is called - "Tonight (best you ever had)" and the other is "All of me".
They're pretty old songs, but i have recently discovered them thanks to my little sister. Now, I can't get enough! Tonight just puts me in the best mood, smiling and making me have a good day.
And can we just quickly talk about how GORGEOUS his wife is in "all of me"?? I mean WOW !! You are one lucky man john.
Well, That's all I have for today,
I'm thinking about posting another post soon...a recipe maybe who knows.
Just thought i'd show you one of my "first week of the fall semester" outfits, our summers here are quite long so im taking full advantage of that fact and wearing the lightest and most breathable of clothes.
You never know when you might bump into someone important and you want to look your best at all times... well that's how I see it anyway.
Blouse - ASOS Skirt - forever 21 Belt - aldo Earrings - aldo Sun Glasses - topshop Bag - Mulberry
Even though we are in danger on our vacation... we still manage to go to interesting places.
And since i just got my new camera, i though i'd try to take some interesting pictures and try out the camera.
We went to see some
famous ruins and their touristy shops. It was quite the experience really. Although the products they sell were hand made and absolutely beautiful, they are extremely overpriced - but nothing like some good bargaining skills won't fix.
I am in no way a photographer and i have never used one of these cameras before so please bear with me, i tried to be as creative as i could but like i said, i'm no photographer and i have absolutely no idea what i was doing.
This place i believe is called "Byblos", there was an old castle there as well but unfortunately i didn't get the chance to go in. The roads were stunning and the shops too cute to bare.
So enjoy these gorgeous place with me ❤
I put these pictures to share with everyone so please , if you do take them just refer them back to me or my blog ❤
I share because i care and i know all of you do too.
