Finding Time For You & Your Loved Ones...

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Don't you find that life gets very chaotic for everyone at times and you almost want to just press stop?! 

It seems, that's quite often for me! I wouldn't change it for the world though!

But it's nice to be able to press pause every now and then to wind down and fit time in for yourselves and loved ones.

With now working nights alongside running the blog etc it kinda becomes tiring sometimes... I definitely hit a brick wall with my exhaustion! I just love SLEEP!

Finding time for the ones we care about is a priority of mine as it tends to help me find my happiness.

So making sure we find the time for them too is also another massive priority at the top of my list too!

I always find finding activities or hobbies to do with your loved ones makes things nicer and easier for you to appreciate the time you have with them!

Life is all about loving the memories you make...

So go ahead with finding time for yourselves and enjoy the time you have with making as many memories as you can!!

Lots of love, 

xx

Because Of You...

Because of You, 

You always learned the hard way and you faced so much misery during your youth. 

Yet you never turned to failure, you never allowed it.

 

You heard me cry during the night in my sleep. You knew why. You knew I was too scared to admit the truth to you as I thought it would hurt you. So I went on pretending that my pain was fine and I had hoped one day it would go away.

Because of You... 

The pain you faced, never made you fade away.

"Annie", I heard you say when you saw the tears stream and the sound of me sobbing.

And you said; 

"My heart never broke because it wasn't whole. Then I had you and it's all for you."

Your so strong, you never fall. 

You always stand tall. 

Sometimes, I see you cry and it's very rare. You'll say to me; 

"Every Warrior deserves to shed a few tears." 

You taught me to be brave. 

To stand tall when I feel incredibly small. 

To hold my head up high! 

You were nineteen years old, I thought it would have broken you to be alone. 

It was tough for you, but you made it seem easy.

It wasn't the life you had planned.

Every time you put me first before anything else and you stayed by my side. Even when you felt forced to smile or laugh, you shone in the light until you knew you'd let me lean on you until it was dawn.

You were never afraid. 

It's because of You...

My first footsteps were there with you, I saw you out of the corner of my eye. As you stood, watching in case I got hurt. 

I tumbled and I cried... 

There you were to catch me for every fall.

Though, you knew I felt like something was missing. 

I guess, that's why I hated jig-saw puzzles as I could never locate the missing piece. 

Our picture frames stay sat on the side as they always have.  I know, you never planned on this life and especially not for me. 

You comb my long blonde locks and time has flown by. 

Your Little Island Girl is now Miss City Sunshine and she's okay. 

She gets scared but she carries on because of You.

She stands tall and remembers that the lights not far from you. If the skies are grey, she'll be there. 

And that's when she told you;

"Sometimes, you need to lean on others and let them be strong for you for once and that's exactly what I'll do for you.

I'll be strong even when I feel incredibly weak. 

I'll take the risk and call you for advice at quarter to three in the morning not knowing what to do.

I'll cry when another stupid boy breaks my heart. 

I'll hideaway, when I try to forget everything until you make me remember and face the pain until it no longer remains. 

Your strength has built me so high, that I no longer fear heights. 

Your confidence and hope got me through the years of the unknown. 

It's because of You! 

When the skies are grey you'll see me appear and I'll never let you be afraid! 

Even when it's not okay, you'll know it be because I'll never leave you.

I'm no longer afraid! 

I want you to live your life, to find adventure and to lean on me." 

Follow the footprints that are waiting for you in the sand and you'll always find me not far behind you... 

Because of You...

Are You Happy?

So as I haven't blogged much for you all recently I thought it would be perfect timing to write a lifestyle blog.

As I have said before, the lifestyle blogs aren't always as frequent as my fashion or beauty blogs as I tend to try and think of an experience of a situation or a feeling for the lifestyle blogs! 

Anyway, this evening I have been reflecting on the last year and the last few months of my life, I have found this really helpful personally! I would definitely say it's important to take time to reflect on your life and your life choices. 

When I looked back to my life a couple of months ago, it hit me that I wasn't the person I normally am and yes I personally think that relationships play a massive impact on how you act or change. 

What you need to remember is that everyone is human and everyone will do the same things or similar things during a period of you life. I think personally for me, I spent ages focusing on how my ex felt or how he saw things rather than focusing on how I felt and how I viewed things. 

At the time, you become so wrapped up on focusing on how that one person feels rather than what you feel like and nobody could ever tell you to think differently or change how you feel because it will take time for you to realise that the person who said he or she cared about you didn't and never would have done the same things that you did for them. 

I guess it takes time for you and for only you to realise everything, it's like a jig saw puzzle and only time will help you fit the pieces together and then you will be able to move on, just remember it's important to listen to what the other people say in your life. 

For example, a lot of my friends and my closest friends were always telling me that the relationship wasn't healthy for me and that I had changed and I honestly wish I could have turned back time sooner rather than later and listened to what family and friend members had said to me because looking back now it wasn't worth all the tears or the stress. 

My advice for people who are dealing with a similar experience right now I would suggest asking yourself every so often if you're happy and if you could be happier because honestly believe me it works! 

I'm a lot more happier within myself now, I have finally found my happiness and I still ask myself if I am happy now just because it's become a natural act in my day to day life now. I also have a diary and I write my feelings in there and I have flickered through the last few months of my life and my life is a lot more positive now than beforehand.

Lastly, make sure you don't forget who was there for you when you went through the bad times because they're your true friends and life would have been a lot harder for you if they weren't there for you! So make sure they know your grateful for what they have done for you! 

I hope this has helped you! 

Lots of love,

Relationships / Realism ...

Evening everyone,

I know I promised you guys an insight into my life as often as I could, so here is another blog for you guys.

I know most people reading this are my friends or family but for the other people reading my blog who hardly know me I think it's perfect to post these sort of blogs so you get a better understanding of who I am and how I feel about experiences or situations in my life.

I haven't really had the best experience with relationships, yeah typical girl right? Though I know boys don't always have the best experiences too and like I have always said it takes two people to make things work.

This is just a general blog of how I feel to be honest as like I have said before I often find myself thinking about things and then knowing it's the perfect opportunity to blog about how I am feeling... Sometimes, even my family and friends don't know what I am thinking or feeling as I am quite a personal person.

 I would prefer to help others rather than thinking or discussing how I am feeling but what I have discovered recently is to focus on what makes yourself happy as that will make the others surrounding you happier.

Anyway, one of my favourite songs of all time is 'Grenade' by Bruno Mars I really think it describes how my past relationships have been and I suppose at the time when your in a relationship you can't see how other people view your relationship. As I have said before, make sure you balance your views and don't push other people away just for your partner as occasionally the other people around you were right all along!

It is really hard to think when your in a relationship that your partner wouldn't do the same things that you do for them and that's literally the key point you all need to focus on... If he or she doesn't do the same things for you, is he or she worth it? Does he or she make the effort for you or do you have to do it all?

I remember at the end of one of my relationships, I am sure most of my family and friends are fully aware who I am talking about, I often found myself questioning whether I deserved to be treated like that?

I would definitely suggest thinking and questioning yourself as it certainly helped me and it made me wake up and realize that the relationship never worked, yes we had our good times but it was mainly bad times.

Moving on and finding someone who makes you happy and stands by you is definitely the best feeling anyone could ever have. Surround yourself with the people who support you and make you feel happy all the time!

Lots of love guys, if you ever need any guidance or if you would like to leave me some questions I will love to answer them for you guys.

Lifestyle...

Hey everyone,

I am sorry I haven't blogged in a while guys, it has definitely been a busy couple of weeks. But when I get the chance I will always make the time to blog so don't worry about that one!

I thought about writing a lifestyle blog as I haven't really had time to write another one yet so I think I have found the perfect opportunity to do so!

As you can probably tell from the last lifestyle blog I wrote about it was based on relationships.

By the way I hope that reflecting the way that I have felt recently has managed to help you guys or to make you understand the way different relationships are...

I think what's best to remember especially for me at this moment in time of my life is that not every relationship is the same and things will be different during your life. That isn't me saying you will forget what that other person meant to you but eventually you need to move on if things aren't making you happy.

Moving on from the relationship pointer, I definitely think that finding your happiness is a very important thing to do and believe me it does certainly take time! I know that some of you guys will think making other people in your life is more important than making yourself happy but do you really want to be hurt or upset too?

I know that making the people happy in my life is an important thing to me but recently I have managed to come to terms with the fact that you yourself have to be happy before you manage to make others happy as well.

I recently discovered a quote which has become one of my favourite quotes that I have come across on social media's and I would definitely like to share it with you guys:

"It's All In Your Mind" 

"Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind." 

The important thing to remember is that change isn't such a bad thing. Even though you or your friends or your family may think so it isn't as bad as you think and it often works out better for yourself if you can change something in your life. 

You must not be afraid to change something, if your not happy it needs to be changed to make you happy again! 

I hope this has helped you everyone, thank you for continuing to read my blogs and I hope I have managed to help you in some way! 

Have a nice day, see you soon. 

Lots of Love,
