The Sunday Catch-Up #3 | Where Am I Going Next?

Published by

I realise that it has been three months since we last checked in with each other, so I figured it was time to do another update. It’s been a really rainy weekend which sucks if you had plans for going out, but great for the likes of me who likes staying in sometimes to write! (In fact, it’s the perfect weather to write in, ha.) I like writing these types of posts because it helps me juggle my mind a bit more and lets me know where I am with myself. So as much as it’s a post for you as a reader, it’s also a post for myself, therapeutically. It’s funny but sometimes I don’t even know what’s on my mind! Thinking About Future Plans For This Blog I have been thinking about getting self-hosted for a while (something that I’m still so confused about actually); but the one thing that has been stopping me is my blogging consistency. Although I don’t think I’m where I need to be yet,  I do feel positive …

Q&A | Liebster Award and Nominations!

Published by

Always keeping it easy on Sundays! This again, is very long due but I’m here. I posted a Q&A yesterday too so if you haven’t already done so, read it here. I was nominated by the wonderful Emma of Everything EmmZeeBee (see her post here) a few months ago. She’s a new blogger of this year and just so happens to be a UK blogger like me so be sure to check her out! Thank you Emma for the nomination and wish you all the best with your blog which I think is going very smoothly! 🙂 Here are the questions from Emma that I have to answer: What is your dream holiday destination? There are so many places I want to visit but if I have to only pick one then I’d have to say Tokyo, Japan. I’m always so fascinated with people’s travel diaries and vlogs whenever they travel to Japan. The culture and colours really come across and there is no where else in the world like so! I have no plans yet to go to …

Get To Know Me Q&A | The Versatile Blogger Award

Published by

It’s unusual but I decided to post this Saturday! What have you got planned this weekend? This post is actually very, very long due. I was nominated by the wonderful Capili (author of Artistbybeauty). I have never been nominated for a blogger award before so this feels extra special. I was also nominated for another award by Capili, but today we are just focusing on the first – The Versatile Blogger Award. I am very excited and thankful to receive this award so thank you Capili. 🙂 I realise that I share a lot of things that I love, like and dislike on this blog but not a whole lot about myself. However, there will be an upcoming Q&A/tag because it seems that I like to play catch-up some wonderful blogger friends have nominated me and it’s time to answer the questions! Seven Things About Me: I have two older brothers – I’m the youngest. Overall, in my family tree, this appears to be a running pattern (having two boys and then a girl) so naturally, I have …

The Sunday Catch-Up #2 | The Power of Eternal Sunshine

Published by

Happy Easter everyone! The sun is out. Or rather the sun has been out and in case you didn’t know, UK people really treasure the sun when it’s out! Where I live in particular can have a tendency to rain or just be doom of gloom so people take advantage of it to enjoy the sunshine and outdoors because really…how often is the weather this nice? (Not often at all!) The sun doesn’t go down now until about 8pm which has given me a huge energy boost hence the title of this post. Anyone else? This surge of power is giving me countless of ideas and inspiration for projects this coming season that I thought it’d be nice to check in with you all. Think of this as a mini what’s (been) going on? type of post that I’m happy to share with you all today! 🙂 Long, sunny days remind me of summer…which makes me feel young Okay, I’m not actually old. I mean, I am still young in my mind and my heart 😉 but …

The Sunday Catch-Up +I’m back!

Published by

So I can’t remember the last time I talked about what I was up to because I haven’t blogged for about two weeks. What have you been up to? The weather is rather gloomy today that I’m slightly contemplating whether to switch the light on but it’s only 12.30pm. I guess I’ll just manage fine and make-do with what there is of the natural light… A Few Days Away From Everything I was meant to post last week but it didn’t happen although I have some drafts handy. (I need to sort those out actually. Crikey.)  I think I may have told a few blogger friends but not really verbally announced that I was on holiday this week to Rome for a few days. It sounds crazy but it was nice to have a few days where you really forgot who you were and what responsibilities you had back at home, but of course, one always has to come back and face reality. (I would always recommend traveling once or twice a year though.) Like …
