10 Blog Things I'm Happy About Right Now

Being the owner of a blog which hundreds and thousands of people visit over time puts a little bit of pressure on you. You want your blog to stand out, produce quality content and, to constantly be involved in the blogging community and what's happening 24/6 over social media (which plays a big part of your blog).

Why you Should Travel Solo at Least Once in Your Life

During January and February 2017, I made the courageous decision to travel solo across South East Asia. Was I scared? Hell yeah, but I think that would be everyones initial reaction, especially when you're hopping onto the first plane to a land you've never stepped foot on before.
As South East Asia is a popular choice for travellers, youngsters in particular on their gap years, I didn't have to worry much knowing that I wouldn't be completely alone.

Thoughts on Leaving Shanghai

2 months left of living in this beautiful city. 2 FRICKIN' MONTHS! Where has this year gone, it has flown by like a rocket! I have been ready to go home for a while now, but that doesn't mean that I won't miss Shanghai. Of course I will, Shanghai is a city full of life, culture, colour and beautiful scenes. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity to live in such an amazing city and travel in such a diverse country. No doubt, I will be back Shanghai.

Decorating my Room || Pinspiration

So I have decided to have a change to my room over the summer as I have had the same layout/items in my room for quite a while now and I think I am starting to grow out of it (even though I haven't seen my room since last August). What better place to find inspiration than Pinterest; I am addicted! One of my favourite boards and most active boards on Pinterest is Rooms and Decor, I just love seeing a range of rooms and getting ideas for my future homes to make them look all cosy. My room isn't the biggest (my wardrobes take up half the space I swear) so I'm having to be clever with the size of items and think about where they can be placed. I'm wanting to do some painting too as the colour scheme for my room is currently a kind of vibrant candy pink colour; one wall coloured pink and the others all white. I want to change this scheme to all white so I can spice it up with coloured decor wherever and change it up whenever. This change won't happen all at once but I can make a start on it over summer at least.

My Current Make-Up Favourites

I've decided to add to my blog and include beauty posts now because I do like my make up and I watch/follow sooooo many beauty bloggers/vloggers/role models etc.

What's a better way to introduce this topic than to share my current make up faves? Because I am currently living in Shanghai, I couldn't bring all my make up with me, it was a hard decision but a good one too, and now I can't wait to have access to all my other make up back home again.

Travel Bucket List 2017

Ideally I would love to travel the world and visit every country but I should be a little more realistic. These are on my current travel bucket list. Some have been part of the list for a few years now and others are recent discoveries which I instantly fell in love with over photos, videos and others sharing their personal experiences. The amount of travel instagrammers and bloggers I follow allows me to find some obscure and hidden beauties, and discover countries which have been kept quiet about and are completely underrated.
