A NICE PLACE

Hey All, how are you?😀

Sometimes, its nce to find yourself a quiet setting to just relax in. If you have me on instagram ( which if you don't, you totally should btw😃 _gracie92 ) you would of seen I posted a few of these photos the other day.
I took a couple of hours out to go and enjoy the lovely sunshine we was having, have some quiet time and spend some quality time with my little one. We had a lovely walk around these garden by Nottingham Victoria Embankment, not entirely sure on there name. I really love it here, its so peaceful, still and calming - gives your mind chance to relax. Alex enjoyed it too, having a gander at all the different trees and surroundings. The water feature was his favourite, such a shame the fountains weren't on though to make it more magical. I love the sound of water fountains- bliss!
 I'll be honest though, of course he had way more fun on the visit to the park afterwards haha.
As part of Mental Health Awareness week I'd like to stress the importance I find in having to have a quiet moment or a nice place to visit (not necessarily the gorgeous holiday we all dream of) just to recharge for  little, collate your thoughts and enjoy the surroundings... its weird I like this place as I'm actually not a huge nature lover. Maybe thats changing? 

I had to have this moment, as I was over-excited and was also overly stressed at the same time and taking the time out to not think about those things for a little did a world of good! I felt ready to get my organising non jumbled thinking cap on afterwards for the exciting things that are about to happen soon!

We even saw a squirrel! Which as I got my camera out ran further and further up the tree, so I arrowed it to help you out haha 

And of course, had ICE CREAM!
mhhhhmm!!

do you have a nice quiet place you like to visit?

GET YOUR MOJO BACK!

HEYHEY!

Lack of motivation - It happens to us all at some point or another, whether its once a week, once a month etc and sometimes it results in a complete slump where you can't seem to follow through with any plans or things that need/want to be doing. Now, the reason for this slump could be anything, tragic life event, mental health struggles, parenting struggles, being overwhelmed, woes and worries about all situation presented to you at the time, or general can't be botheredness (have better things to be doing haha)

I, myself have had my fair share of slumps and believe it or not I'm not the most positive person but I try and thought I'd give you a little insight of tips I use to get myself feeling a little more motivated😀

images found on google - inspirational quotes

100% have that DUVET DAY - I support the lazy day, I support the dwell on it day and I think you should make the most of it. Eat all the things you want, chocolate as well, nap, release all the emotions, binge watch films and TV series and a pamper sesh if you feel like it. It all helps to relax your mind and being able to think a little more clearly.
As a parent this isn't always easy but you can still be lazy, and eat all you want, then once they've gone to bed you can use this time for binge watching etc.

Mind Over Matter and put things into perspective, ask yourself the why's and the hows. Can you control whats happening? Can you help or need help? Talk to someone, make a plan, write a list or have routine to keep things ticking over. 

TIDY HOUSE, TIDY MIND something I live by, if my key areas aren't organised I get super stressy and the parts in my brain just gets all jumbled together.

Go Out, Get out and about doing stuff, make plans, family days, friend days, shopping days. Anything that's abit different to your usual tasks to add some fun to your day. I've found this has helped me quite alot recently!
I find as parent it can get quite intense and stressful and I know all I need is a some time out the house alone or with friends just to remind me that being a mummy isn't my only existence.
See what we've been up to recently here and here

Have a Project/Goal Have something to work towards, something your excited about. Mine is currently looking for a new home, can't tell you how excited but nervous I am about it haha. 

Music put on your favourite tunes, have a dance a round, put all your effort into the lyrics. You'll be amazed how uplifting your favourite music can be. Alex and I love a good dance (jumping around) around the living room letting loose.

Eating, Sleeping, Exercising as well as you can. I've found I've always felt better when I've done these, maybe not so much the exercise part but you get the jist. Sleeping better and eating better has upped my energy levels giving me a better outlook on being able to be motivated for the day.

Morning Routine My morning routine is pretty staple in my day, it means my day is planned and my thoughts are collected and prioritised, of course it won't always run smoothly as I like but its always a good start. If your not a morning person have a good night time routine, find your key moment in the day to collect your thoughts.

You will be Okay - always remember that, no matter what life throws at you in the end it'll be all okay (even if its just for 5 minutes) 

Well those are my little motivational bits I like to tell myself quite regularly, and although I'm quite tired I'm actually feeling quite motivated to get something done.
-With that in mind I think I'll be cleaning the oven tonight haha what fun right? Not. I know haha!

Do you have any tips to share I'd love to hear them, it also might help someone else too 

Lots of Love

GIRLS NIGHT OUTFIT

Sometimes all you need is some quality time with your bff, get yourself a little glammed up, a few drinks and quite a few selfie haha!! This is exactly what I got up to last night 😄
I don't get to do this half as much as I like and really do cherish the little moments where I can spend some time with my friends talking all things girly...

I really did enjoy myself and felt confident and snazzy in my outfit ( as it covered all my non-favourite bits haha), here's a little snippet...

The top was my only new purchase from River Island and I'm so in love with it, the broken shirt kind of look. I'm all about the cold shoulder at the moment too and think its going to last me right through the spring/summer-so many ways to wear it and items to wear it with. See it here. Leather-look leggings and Boot from New Look.
Teamed with a dark lip to make your look pop I wore Black Cherry by Revlon.
The dressing up part can be the most fun, right? I love getting ready for a night out.

Can't wait to do this again!!  

What do you get up to as part of girls night?
xx

ps - heres a funny fact, I left the price sticker on my bra all night!! so glad you couldn't (hopefully) see it through my top haha 

A-Z OF MOI

Hello you lovely lot! 

I've seen this floating about on social media a few times and thought I'd give it a go myself: as there is a few more of you around here, getting involved, why not learn some silly little things and some serious things using A-Z? Fun (cringy) right?
Time to put my thinking cap on...

ALEX 

The main little guy in my life, my son, my 3 year old. Although he drives me CRAZY alot at the moment - wouldn't have it any other way! 💗

BLOGGING 

Of course this had to be here! Its a part of my life now, something I really enjoy doing, something thats just for me. Did you see my post on why I like to blog?
clickhere

CHINESE FOOD

Always my preferred takeaway and I usually order sweet and sour chicken balls, beef curry and egg fried rice with prawn toast on the side. 

DANCING

Its weird to say this- I actually love to dance haha! Once upon a time I wanted to be a choreographer but NO I'm not good haha! So these days I enjoy a good boogie in my home with Alex to the cheesy hits playlist on Spotify or on a night out with the girls.

EYESHADOW

Probably my favourite thing to buy in my makeup collection. 

FLOWERS 

Up until recently I was never a fan of flowers whether thats buying my own or being brought them, but now I just want to fill my house with them in lots of pretty vases that I actually need to invest in.
Although still prefer to buy my own

GROWING UP?

I was stuck for so long in a vicious circle with myself and wanting to keep everyone else happy that in the last year or so I've done so much growing up and changing its weird haha! My personality has developed, my likes and dislikes have changed, my family and friend relationships have changed whether thats grown closer or fallen apart. I've created goals and ideas for myself and know exactly what I want from life and will no longer accept any thing less than I deserve.

Woah, abrupt-much I know!

HARRY POTTER

Harry Potter geek fan right here! Have been ever since I read the first book. The best thing about it is that Alex loves Harry Potter too. His favourite film is Chamber of Secrets mine is Prisoner of Azkaban although its such a heard pick.

I/ME 

I've been trying and failing at doing more for myself this year haha, its abit of a focus to spend more time on self care and being selfish.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JENNA DEWAN TATUM

JT is the Man, my ultimate celebrity crush! *heart eyes*
Jenna is just body, face, family goals right?

KETCHUP 

I don't have it with everything but I do love ketchup with my eggs in the morning.

LIES

I HATE lies. After alot of experience from many 'loved' ones It only hurts and causes more problems when the truth is found out. Its just not a nice thing to do in general.

MAKEUP 

 Another obvious one, but it still shocks me how my makeup ways have changed in the last 18months and how I'm not stuck in the sameoldsameold products and look everyday. Its nice to have the choice to mix it up and develop my skills (if you can call them that haha!)

NIGHTS IN

These days I much prefer a night in, in my pjs, with all the food and a film, all cosy on the sofa/bed.
Don't get me wrong a night out once in a while is good too!

OREOS 

Favourite. Biscuits and Doughnuts just yum!

PANIC ATTACKS & ANXIETY

Something I have suffered with for quite some years and its definately not as bad as it used to be so thumbs up to that! I wrote a post about my experience last year
clickhere

QUOTES

Oh how I love a good quote, you can always find one to fit any situation and/or feeling. I find most very inspiring or motivational or even make you think in a slightly different way.
I currently have one on my bedroom wall 'Everything is better in your pyjamas' true right?

ROUTINE 

I love routine, I like my life to be as routined as it can be and I like my days to be planned out. If its not or something goes out of sync its stresses me out so much!

SLEEP

Before Alex sleep wasn't important, I barely slept. About 6 weeks after Alex's birth I began sleeping alot more than I ever have. Although my sleeping pattern is not great I do love sleep alot more but always tired at the same time

TATTOO 

I have 5, 2 quotes, 2 tribal heart thingys and a robot. Random I know. Theres so many other I'd really like in the future.

UNDERWEAR 

I actually weirdly really enjoy buying underwear, bras and pants - that kinda thing! Although what I have at the mo is nothing to write home about haha

VOICE 

I believe everything voice/opinion/thoughts should be heard when there are two sides to a story.

WALKING

Yep, I love to walk not in a trekking up a mountain kind of way but a walk in the fresh air to clear your mind.
When Alex had a pushchair as baby I never once set foot on any form of public transport with it - walked everywhere - luckily I live not fair from the local city centre so the walk was nice.

X RAY 

Could X be for anything else? I couldn't think of anything.
I believe I've had one X-Ray in my time, at a time when my anxiety was telling me there was something wrong with me.

Yellow 

This has been a total surprise to me, but I'm really getting into the colour yellow, home decor mainly. Next have some beautiful yellow homeware in at the moment. 

ZOO 

I don't think I've ever been to the Zoo but I'd really like too in the near future. 

Well that was fun and hard haha! Would love to see if you do something like this!
I'll be back next week with a more normal kind of post :)

HUGE THROWBACKS | PHOTO EDITION

Hey! Hope you've all had a lovely week? 

So this week, I got onto looking at some old photos of myself as a child/teenager and thought why not share them with you! I mean I love having a nosey into these kind of things, I hope you do too.
I've really loved going through these photos- its brought back some funny memories and also great to see how I have and haven't changed all at the same time. Also I can't believe how similar Alex looks to me haha! 

I didn't realise I had so many pictures of me, my friends and I, or the raw pictures of being a mummy with a newborn- for my eyes only though haha!

It took so long to write this post as I kept getting so distracted look back through photos.

I don't know the years these were taken, but this is where I see Alex in me so much, we look so alike as kiddies- my hair took so long to grow when I was little.

This is one of my oldest friends and I - I mean we were all about that 90's fashion and matching everything from hair to clothes haha! I feel like we all had this haircut at some point though! I remember I loved that teddy and it was't even mine, insisted on having a photo with it!

Theres a lost couple of years here, so fast forward to about age 14. Out comes the full fringe that I really tried to sweep across my face but just never looked the way I wanted it too, then the change in hair colour game, bits of red, bits of purple, full head of red.

I don't know what possessed me to do an at home 'photo-shoot' looking like this haha other than the fact I LOVED those shoes that I couldn't actually walk in. At the time these were taken I really liked the first black and white one, but looking now I think the one taken off guard is abit more natural and real! Its amazing how views change.

Fancy dress nights out with one of my besties, one of my favourite pictures of us💕

A professional type of 'photo-shoot' for a friend and her college project. This is one of the photos I really like- how street style haha!!
Although you'd never catch me wearing anything like this these days!

I'm currently using this photo for body inspo and how I want to look again by this summer haha, a glow and some definition. At this point in life, Age 18, I was confident with the way I looked and felt.

The biggest change and best thing to happen in my life :) 30 weeks in this picture!

Now its us against the world!!
Looking back at ALL my old photos has shown me the importance of taking photos and storing them as it gives you so much happiness being able to look back - I haven't stopped smiling. 

I'd love to see some of your throwback photos! How about write a post? Let me know so I can have a read - tag me on twitter @_gracie92

WHY BLOG ??

When I began Graciesworld in 2015 I made the conscious decision to share it with my family/friends via a Graciesworld Facebook page within 2 days of launching. 

At the time the support was incredible, Although alot of questions have been asked over a course of time the main ones are -

 "Why you doing that?"
"Whats the point if you aren't being paid?"

Well, the answer is pretty simple, when I began blogging I was at a very strange place in my life, going through abit of change within my own life and personality, growing as person as such. I have always loved reading/writing and with alot of encouragement I thought 'Why not give it a go and see?'
It became an escape! Something I look forward to planning and delving into every week (sad I know) but a place where I'm able talk about all the things I like, also a place to document things I want to remember and look back on. Alot of you know, I have a son and although his pictures and chats of him don't feature very often, behind the blog its encouraged me to take more photos and get out and about doing things and combat parts of my anxiety.

Basically, I blog because I enjoy it, for me. whether I have readers/followers or not - all of that is just a bonus!

I can't really talk to my 3 year old about my makeup haha!

Blogmas was a huge step for me but also a great motivation and made me see how much I love my blog and all the behind the scenes work that goes with it. As I was blogging everyday I got asked if i was being paid for said posts - no I wasn't, it was a fun little stressful challenge I set myself and was super proud of by the end😀
 If ever in the future, payments became part of this thats just be a huge bonus.

As I look back, I can certainly see how my posts and writing style have changed and how much more confidence I have in myself both on and offline. This little online focus has helped me through some terrible times and developed me as a person in terms of confidence, being a little more relaxed, a tinsy winsy bit more fun haha, working on self-care, I've found things I like about myself and I found things I enjoy doing | e.g - experimenting with makeup as before was same old routine day in day out.

Sometimes a post can take from 1 hour to a week+ to be ready, but I love the whole hustle and bustle. I've found something thats mine and just for me, I love that!

I'm all about going with the flow and enjoying what I do when it comes to Graciesworld!

Thanks to all the readers, the comments, the likes, the shares- I really do appreciate it

Lots of Love💗

If you have a blog, I'd love to hear why you blog? 

PANCAKE PICKS

I don't know about you but I LURRRVE pancakes all year round, but you can't deny there is just something exciting about pancake day- the only day where its acceptable to eat pancakes from morning till night if you wish. I personally prefer mine as a brunch-y kind of meal- and its only 2days away now.

Guess what? It also means that spring is on it way!

Over the year I've experimented a little more with different toppings and thought I'd share some of my favourites with you😀

ps- I'm no where near an expert at making anything, no measurements included (choose your own) just pour and see how many you get from it - winging it! Making it super EASY PEASY

You will Need :  

- Plain Flour
- Milk
- Egg(s)
-Butter
- Choice of toppings/filings

-Mixing Bowl
- Whisk/Fork

 Such a great way to get the kiddies involved!
Add the flour, Milk and Eggs into the mixing bowl and Mix Mix Mix with whisk/fork to create a smooth runny batter (but not too watery)

I like to use the butter in the pan as an alternative to oil, I think it gives the pancakes extra taste and if you get it right crispy edges.
*Feel free to use any other alternatives to oil that you prefer*

Blueberry Pancakes

This, without a doubt, is the one I tend to make the most - its so yummy. Adding blueberries into the mixture which as they cook, the skins pop and let the blueberry juice run into the pancake. Adding some sugar on the top to add a little sweetness and wa-lah your all done!
Why not try adding some extra honey? 

Chocolate & Strawberry Stack

For the chocolate lover inside! Add some chocolate spread into your mixture and you've got yourself some yummy chocolate flavoured pancakes. In the chocolate stack above, I popped MilkyBar white chocolate yoghurt on the bottom layer, strawberries in the second and crumbled Oreo on the top! Oreo's are my absolute favfavfav biscuit in the world so why not add them onto a pancake? It was delish!
Chocolate Heaven... right?

The Classic

Of course, you CANNOT have pancake day without the classic lemon and sugar! A much lighter filling than the chocolate stack. I've got to admit I much prefer the lemon juice from a fresh lemon than a bottle. I like having the extra slices to squeeze as you go. It also looks really fancy - something to pull out if your having a pancake party? Is that a thing? I'd love that! I'm definitely going to do this one year haha

Will you be making your own pancakes this Tuesday? Its so quick and easy-I can't wait to have them again. Still working on Alex, he doesn't seem a fan no matter what topping I use, this makes me kinda sad haha!

 I would love to know what your favourite filling/topping is?

The choices you have are endless. 

Happy Pancake Making

GETTING OUT AND ABOUT | WISHLIST

 Helloooooo😀... how you all getting on? February is nearly here already, wow! How fast is it going?

I usually spend alot of January being a hermit, chilling out and planning what I'd like to do and achieve in the year ahead and thats exactly what I've been doing. 2017 starts on the 1st of Feb. This year one of my main goals is travel and do different activities that aren't always in my hometown - I'm so badly travelled and haven't done alot of things, its laughable!

I'm all about getting out that travelling comfort zone, experiencing and having fun with Alex,family and friends this year.

 I thought I'd put together a little (large) list on here and see if any of you have been to the same places and have any experiences you'd like to share? Or is it somewhere you'd like to visit too?

Maybe next year I can revisit this post and tick off everything we've done!

Short-term (this year)

Visit a Zoo - I don't ever remember visiting a Zoo when I was younger (maybe I'm wrong) but I'd really like to go, plus it'd be really cool to take Alex to see all the animals.

Visit Harry Potter World - As a HUGE Harry Potter fan, since the beginning, its so shocking to say I've never been. I'm embarrassed of myself for sure! I really am going to go this year and now Alex is older and loving Harry Potter he can come too! Theres going to be a new adaption added, so i plan to go after.

Visit Legoland - How cool would this be? It looks so fun for the kiddies too!

Long weekend in London maybe to get these ticked off?

A day at Wollaton Hall and Newstead Abbey - I've wanted to do this for so long just never got round to going! On a lovely summers days it'd be nice day trip with picnic in hand. Last year I only ever went on the one picnic- definitely want to plan some more this year, as many day trips as possible this year, why not?

Visit Brighton - TICK THIS OFF!! There is a plan in place for this to happen, yayy!! I really want to go on the i360! Hope the family's ready to join me! Going to take some pictures in front of the beach huts.

Shop at another Shopping Centre - (haha, rubbish idea I know, but I like shopping)
I always love seeing and wandering around different shopping centre as each one always had a little something different to the last. I've walked through the Bullring in Birmingham once so maybe there? 

Clothes Show Live - Wanted to go for many many years, since I was at school, nearly went last year but chose to do something different. This year has to be the year right? If its still a thing of 2017

Edinburgh Christmas Market - I really really want to do this, its so beautiful! It'd be great to do this around my December birthday, what a treat that'll be! Fingers crossed!

Mid-Term (between now and December 2018)

Visit Butlins, Minehead - As a family we love Butlins! Its not everyone's taste but its ours. It'd be great to see another one of the sites and share family moments there.

Visit Jersey/Guernsey/Isle of Wight - This has become a new OBSESSION idea of mine. It looks lovely and although its part of the UK its far away enough to be a proper holiday. WILL HAPPEN!

Visit Ireland - Different culture, different city to see.

Long Term (between now and ongoing)

DisneyLand Paris and/or Orlando - Every kids dream! I'd like to go preferably when Alex is a little older to remember and thoroughly enjoy it

Majorca - I'd really like to go back to where I visited when I was younger just to see...

See the Northern Lights - Wouldn't it just be magical to actually see in person.

A Cold Snowy Holiday - We don't get proper snow here in the UK so I'd love to go somewhere whilst its very snowy and cold and enjoy the snow properly. Snowballlll FIGHT!

Australia - When our winter hits what a better way than to head out for the sun. I'd love to experience having Christmas in Australia as its completely different to what we know in some ways. 

Dubai - Ideally, I'd love to stay in the Atlantis Hotel in an underwater suite, sleeping with the fishes. WOW that'd be incredible!

THE WORLD - I'd like to go to many many places in the world with Alex, the list is endless as there is always something new and exciting I see and want to do/go so I chose just a few of my faves.

Basically, I'd just like to travel and do more stuff...haha

Do you have any upcoming travel plans?

What's on my Phone Tag

I love little tags like this as it gives you the opportunity to have a nosey into a person's life - and we're all abit nosey right? Here's a quick one for you to take a gander at...

Thanks to Nikki at Nikkipedia for the tag! make sure you all go and check her out!

What phone do you have?

Its a Samsung S7 

How many gigabytes does it have?

You know, without checking or finding out somehow - I don't actually remember haha - lets go with 4GB as that rings a bell.

What colour is it?

Gold 

Whats is your wallpaper?

A picture of my son enjoying himself on a swing

What are your most used Apps on your phone?
Twitter and Facebook

What Apps are in folders?

The pre-installed Samsung Apps, Google Apps and Microsoft Apps

What Apps do you not use?
Most of the pre-installed ones...

How many contacts do you have in your phone?

25 

Do you like your phone?

I do like my phone, I've had Samsung phones for as long as I can remember. I love the colour and well i'd be lost without my my phone, wouldn't you?

If you had the chance to have any phone, what would it be?

hmm, i don't know as I'm not a huge phone follower and don't know much about them. Maybe something that is opposite to a Samsung to see how easy it would be to use/get used to.

Have you upgraded your phone?

Not since September, so got abit of a wait now.

How many selfies are on your phone? (estimate)

ummm, 20/30ish? That'll probably come as surprise to most people, but what I do is take loadsss then delete them when I've chosen one I like.

Do you ever let anyone go through your phone?

Yes, if I trust that person isn't going to post silly things on my social media or laugh at what they find. Phones are personal things these days haha!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now its your turn😀

I'm tagging Laura at LauraSnow | Katy at ColourmeKaty | Samantha at cocobutterblog | Sherry at SherryScribbles
Can't wait to read your answers!

Also, if your not tagged but what to take part GO AHEAD, drop me a comment with your links below and I'll check it out

ps - i got told that the creator of this tag would like us to continue using the picture that was made for it. Please find this above 😀

2017 - lets do this!

I'd probably say 2016 was the year of what I feel was HUGE changes for me within my life and around my life and I just muddled through. I've looked back at my 2016 goals and you know what, I've managed one! Although I'm not surprised one bit!

trying to be thoughtful haha

So now I've done a great deal of lazing around and eating alot, its time to begin 2017! (only 9days late)
I think what I'll do is pop together a bucket list of what I hope to achieve this year personally and another of blog goals!

Personal

Be who I want to beI learnt in 2016 not everyone appreciates how you grow, how you feel and what you like, what your thoughts and personalities are. I can't and won't be as other expect me to be and expect from me, I will only do what makes me happy or I feel right.

Explore
I'd love to venture down south (something already in the wings for this, eek exciting!) But also up North to Edinburgh. Be amazing to do the both in one year, we'll see. I'd also love to takes us on other little adventures to places such as Zoos, Castles etc. With Alex starting school next year it'd be nice to spend quality time doing things together before we only have the summer holidays. I want my new diary filled with lots of activities!

Use a Photo Album
Its all well and good having these amazing smart phones and many ways to save and store photos but there is nothing better than sitting with a photo album looking through the years and how things change. Plus, I'm always breaking and loosing my phone so would be good to be able to keep my favourite photos if I don't back them up.

Read
I used to be such a bookworm, I loved it! I feel we've all lost the sense of picking up a book and reading in our spare time, we're all staring at screens alot of the time. I've seen so many books I'd love to read so what a better time to start. I also think if you have kiddies it encourages them to like the idea of books but also reading to/with them. I noticed that in the last year Alex and I hadn't read alot together so I'm really going to start doing it more often.

No more phone in Bed
Speaks for itself really, something I REALLY REALLY want to conquer. Endless scrolling through the same social media is just silly-its all the same. It also means your brain isn't as rested before going to sleep I have problems with sleeping properly anyway so maybe this will help a little. I have a plan to put my phone out of arms reach instead of right next to me where I can pick it up every 2seconds. I mean, who wants to walk across the room, get your phone, go back to bed, get out of bed to put it back! Fingers crossed it works?

Exercise
Just a little though! Nothing to drastic, just the occasional work out once or twice a week and keep at it. Last year I did so well February to May time then stopped started again then stopped completely. Thinking back I felt good when was exercising so it'll certainly help get out this post christmas grogginess!

What are your personal resolutions/goals this year?

Blog

Attend at least 2 Blogger Events/Meet ups 
I didn't go to any last year - I personally find it difficult as don't have a great deal of childcare but this year I'd really love to go and meet other bloggers - it'd be great!

Possible expand to YouTube

I said this last year, lost a great deal of confidence in myself and never even attempted a proper video. This year I'd love too, what do you think? I might do a practise run sometime and see if I like it!

Improve photography!

Some pictures can be great, some can be pretty rubbish. I don't like editing my pictures too often or too much as then its not real but I'd love to improve in how the photos are taken. Lots of practise needed. Any tips?
(pstt, I only have a phone camera at the moment)

To Enjoy

This is my main goal, I want to enjoy what I'm writing and won't post if I'm not. I mean, if I'm not enjoying it, then its likely your not too! Lets have some fun!

Whats your blog goals?

Thanks for sticking with me, and I hope to see you through 2017 too!

Lets make it a good year we can talk about in years to come!

💕
