daydreaming

Recently, one of my favourite YouTubers 'Fabulous Hannah' (FabHan) released some merchandise (including a T-Shirt, a sweater, a notebook and a poster), all featuring the quote "No Rain, No Flowers". I knew immediately when Han released the range using this quote, I wanted to buy a piece of clothing and wear it every day for the rest of my life. The quote is so lovely, reflecting the idea that bad things will bring out the good things; you have to go through the bad times to appreciate the good times.


During the bad times, you have to remember that the good times will follow. Things change. You will never be constantly stuck in a bad moment. I'm the type of person to believe that some things happen for a reason, I try and remind myself of this when I spill something or trip over, but in those cases, I don't feel like there's anything inspirational I can take from those moments.


So the sweater I ordered, features the stitched words 'No Rain No Flowers' within an embroidered daisy chain; the design is well and truly adorable. I really like the idea of someone who maybe isn't having the best day to read the quote on my sweater and be a little more positive.

This week has honestly been one of the worst weeks of my life for multiple personal reasons, including my iPhone randomly breaking, therefore losing some photos which I didn't get to save (I tend to save my photos every month into a private FaceBook photo album), resulting in buying a new phone, and stressful deadlines.

Unfortunately (my bad luck continuing), my sweater hasn't yet arrived despite the 3-5 day delivery estimate, but of course that's just my luck this week... The sweater is on it's way so I hope to receive it either tomorrow or Monday. Wish me luck please... I will be uploading a photo of my sweater when it comes on my Instagram (www.instagram.com/missleshajade) if you're interested.

Sorry this blog post was a little short today, I honestly haven't been feeling great mentally recently and I just want this week to be over. Bring on the flowers please. I am tired of rain for these last 6 days.

So...Welcome Spring!

Spring is one of my favourite times of year, urging us closer to Summer. Spring is the time where the nights begin to get longer (with the clocks going forward next Sunday), the weather gets warmer, and the sun comes out. T-Shirt weather. I am one of those people who find their moods change based on the weather, I hate being out in the rain, but I love being inside during storms, however being out in the sunshine is my favourite. The sun makes everything look so much nicer, cherry blossom and daffodils bloom and make dull England look a lot prettier, and generally puts me in a much better mood! When thinking about Spring, I do have some essentials for the season that I have started using to fit with the time of year...

• Nature. 

• Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea Bubble Bath and Fragrance Mist 

• Lush Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb 

This beautiful rose absolute, geranium oil, Sicilian lemon oil and rose oil scented bath bomb is the perfect product for the Spring-time. After fizzing and exploding the outer shell into gorgeous flower petals and pretty pink water. One of my favourite scents and definitely ideal for a Spring bath!

• Zoella Beauty Double Créme Body Cream

• Cadburys Mini Eggs/Easter Eggs 

I have been a loyal iPhone user for years, and with that said, I have used a fair few apps during this time. Both Free and Paid. From Photography, Games, Social Media, etc. So here are my Top 10 of My Favourite iPhone Apps...


SOCIAL MEDIA

So these apps are more obvious; the ones essentially every teenager/young adult has on their phones. Instagram. Twitter. Snapchat. My favourite three Social Media apps for varied reasons.

Firstly, Instagram.


Possibly my favourite of all forms of social media. I love photography. I love just scrolling through photos of someones outfit that they carefully planned and love and feel so comfortable and beautiful in, or aesthetically pleasing breakfast, or a selfie that may have taken them some confidence to post, or a cute kitten, or a funny post about how idiotic Trump is. Weirdly, I have made some great friends through Instagram. I go on it way too much, checking it when I wake up, throughout the day, on the bus, and just before I sleep...and recently I reached 1000 followers so thank you to anyone who follows me!
