Update: Plans (kind of)

Well hello there stranger!

Who ever it is reading this I welcome you to this weird and wacky platform that is/will be my blog.

I started this blog 2 years ago when I was 14 because I thought I was hip and cool and I wanted to be the next Zoella (I know, I was super cringe). Little did I know at 14 years old how hard that was and I quickly gave up on the whole blogging thing. However, the other day I got an email that someone had commented on my blog. I'd completely forgotten about it so I gave it a click and it took me to my post on "Open When Letter for my Best Friend" and I was overwhelmed. The page had received over 100,000 views. Since then I've wanted to come back here and start again (don't worry not to be the next Zoella). Just for a little bit of fun and to add something extra to my life, I guess. 

So yes, here is an update. I want this blog to be a safe place for me, almost like a diary. I want to be able to look back at it to remember things that I don't want to forget. I will be writing about anything, from things that are happening in my life, to DIY's and hauls. Oooooo and possibly thrift shop hauls. Actually definetely thrift shop hauls, I am a tad obsessed with thrift shopping.

So yeah, if you're reading this then I guess, follow me. Is that what you do here? And buckle yourself in for a wild ride, that is my life.

Over and out,

P.S My middle name is Maria which I prefer to write as it could be a bit dodge to write my last name. Laters guys!

Sunset in New Zealand

Hey guys!

How are you all? I hope you're just absolutely spiffing! 

Anyway, not so long ago it was my birthday and I got given Canon DSLR 600D camera. I had heard many people say that it is great for beginners. So I put it on my Birthday/Christmas list (because my birthday is on the 15th of December) and now I have the camera! Yay! It is the most fantastic thing that has ever happened to me. My camera is my baby. Who needs real babies when they have cameras.

It is honestly the best present I have ever gotten. I love capturing things in the moment so that I can remember them forever. I think the thing I have loved taking pictures of the most is sunsets. They are so incredibly beautiful.

I was at my friends house for dinner the other day and I was so happy that I thought to bring my camera because that night the most impressive sunset I had ever seen appeared in the sky. So I quickly ran to grab my camera. I thought someone might like to seem them. So here are the two best pictures...

Doesn't it just have the most gorgeous colours in it.

Hope you have a lovely day!

Bye

Start of Something New

Hey everyone,

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! 

It's that time of year again where we can start a fresh, have a new beginning, and for me to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I love starting a new year because it's a chance for me to start again and change things in my life that I believe need changing. But in order for things to actually change you have to be able set goals or resolutions otherwise things never really change. I saw a quote I really liked that highlighted this. Turn your dreams into wishes, your wishes into goals. Your goals into reality and your dreams will some true. 

I have been told by many people that you should only pick three resolutions in order to complete them. People have also told me never to set the bar too high. I learnt that lesson last year. One of my resolutions was to go for a run everyday... That failed for me after just one day. But who cares, that was last year. What matters is what I decide to do with my life this year. 

I have thought long and hard about what my new years resolutions should be so without further ado here are my three goals.

1. Be nice to everyone! Think more about others before I think about myself. That also includes listening to people more and letting them tell me their stories. I talk a lot and so I often forget that other people like to talk too.

2. Compliment people more. I am not quite sure why I don't do this very much now, it just doesn't seem to cross my mind. But it should. It is so easy just to tell someone that their hair looks lovey today or that I love their skirt. I love seeing the way a compliment can brighten someones day. So this year, friends, be expecting a flow of great complements coming your way!

3. And number three. Drum roll please. I left the hardest till last. My third resolution is to be healthier and fitter. I know, I know, impossible to do when chocolate exists, but it has to be done. At school this year we have swapped uniforms and I have to wear this horrible pencil skirt that shows off every part of you that sports a couple more pounds. So if I could just shrink my bottom a little that would be fantastic.

I really do hope that these resolutions aren't to hard to accomplish.

So, what are your New Years resolutions? I'd love it so much if you left a comment down below telling me your goals for 2015.

Good luck!

❤️
