Make the most of a situation

I have spent this weekend with friends and it has reassured me to make sure that I always make the most of a situation. I have spent time talking over things which have happened and things which may happen. And discussed the things which I am doing at the moment. And its made me really think about how no matter what is happening in life, it really is best to just make the most of the situation which you are in.

To try and always see the silver lining, I really believe from every situation there is something which you will be able to take away from it, whether its too have learnt something new, made a new friend, even to learn a little about yourself.

Just always try to make the most of something, surely that way you can always be sure that you made the most of all the opportunities which come your way.

Do you ever get those mornings....

I have woken up this morning feeling all inspired.... do you ever get those mornings? When you just wake up and feel hugely motivated to achieve something? I have a friend and every time I see her she always makes me feel inspired to do better or achieve more, and then I sleep on it, wake up the next morning and low and behold every morning I wake up after I have seen her I feel hugely motivated to achieve something important with my day!

We had lunch yesterday at Cosy Club, (if you are in the UK and you haven't been to a Cosy Club yet give it a go! The menu at the moment is ridiculously yummy!) Whilst having lunch we had a lovely catch up about everything which has happened since we last saw each other, the things we want to do in the next few months, places we want to be or see. And it got me thinking back to blogging, I started this just as a general ramble every now and then on things which I had talked about with my friends which I thought other people would be interested in. This then evolved to just becoming mostly about my YouTube and general things going on in my life. And personally I like that, it feels more natural to write about my every day occurrences. But I have thought I can include more beauty products in my blogs and this would link a little better to my YouTube. Is this something you would all want to see? And since Christmas is just around the corner I figured most people either want ideas of things to get for others, or things which they want to tell people they would like!

I am hoping in the run up to Christmas to do some fashion posts, party outfits and make-up ideas, just to help a few of you get ready for the festive season (which by the way I am hugely excited about this year!) I personally think Christmas is a great time of year... I know there are some people out there who don't like it. But I for one, really enjoy Christmas, the food, the parties, seeing friends and family, decorating a tree, the whole works!

So keep an eye out over the next few weeks as I will be trying to get up a few more posts and videos to get you in the Christmassy spirit!

Don't worry if you are a fan of the general posts about everyday life you will most definitely still be getting these! 

Have an amazing day I hope you are having a motivation day too, why not go and do something you are passionate about today... give a little time back to the things which you love to do!

But most importantly don't forget to keep smiling!

Passion for the things you do

I know that it has been quite a while since I last wrote on here, or posted a video on my YouTube channel. The reason for that is I have quite simply been lacking inspiration recently. There has been a lot going on in my life associated with moving and starting a new job, and I guess I was just going through my settling in stage! Now that I feel a little more at home I thought I best check in and see what's going on in the world!

It's taken me a while to write a post because I have been lacking the passion to come on and put a post up, and it got me to thinking about all the things which we do in our lives and why we do them. I think a lot of people in the world today have forgotten how to be passionate. Or don't feel they have anything to be passionate about. I for one have been feeling a little this way recently. I have just lacked the motivation to make time for my hobbies and the things which I get passionate about. I have set myself the challenge that I am going to do something at least once a week that I am passionate about. Whether that's spending an hour on a sewing project or just singing in the car, I am going to make sure that at least once a week until the end of the year (which really isn't that far away now!) I do something which I get passionate about.

I think its so easy these days to get so wrapped up in work, commuting, watching TV, or sitting on social media that we forget to spend time doing the things which we are really passionate about. Which is such a shame, having hobbies and interests are what make us stand out as individuals. That sense of achievement when you accomplish something because you put your heart and soul into it is such a great feeling. The problem is a lot of us forget to strive for this.

I for one am going to make more of an effort to make sure that I push myself to do more of these things. It all helps to keep you happy and positive, and you never know you could always learn something new!

So why not set yourself the same challenge and see what a difference you can make just to your week and how you feel when you take time out to do the things which really matter to you!
