a little life update...

-

Hello and welcome back or welcome to the blog! I feel like I haven’t done an update on my general life in a while and due to being a bit quiet on social media recently, I felt this post couldn’t come at a better time! I have a few points (to do with the blog and life) I’d like to update you on, to explain what the future plans are for the blog, as well as just a general life ramble!

The first and probably the most major point I would like to make is to say that I am not going to be very active this week, and there is only going to be this post going live this week (this one), as I am participating in an online summer school in preparation for university. This was meant to be in my chosen destination but obviously corona has cancelled it (like everything else in the future right now), so I am having to sit at my desk for the week in online lectures and seminars. Due to the intense timetable us psychology students have been given; I am going to focus on completing this work rather than my blog being my focus. I have to pass this summer school successfully in order to receive a lower university offer (which I would really like)! I am going to try to be as active as possible but please bear with me for this week: I am still continuing to write/edit posts, just won’t be uploading until next Monday (6th July).


In the spirit of uploading, I would also like to address the lack of Instagram content recently. I posted for the first time in about 3 weeks, last Thursday, and to be honest, I’ve just not been feeling posting content. I understand this means my engagement will be suffering a little, but I haven’t actually wanted to post! I like to keep my Instagram more minimalistic, and don’t like to clutter my feed with random posts. To be honest my life isn’t that interesting and I don’t want to bore you with it! I am going to post more regularly (I hope), but I will continue to post on my stories regularly!

I’d also just like to mention that this post signifies the end of the broad ‘lifestyle’ content, and as mentioned on my ‘times are changing’ post, I am beginning to create content that I am truly passionate about (not to say I haven’t been passionate about my previous posts), and I am so excited to bring this side to the platform!

In terms of the summer, we are still in lockdown which really sucks, as I want to travel to see my friends: a lot are long-distance! I have been making the most of the sun though this last week, and have caught a great tan (if I do say so myself), because this gal doesn’t even tan on holiday! After 4 days of British sun, I have a better tan than I did after a week in Marbella last year! The sun really does boost my mood, so have been loving life at the minute 😊

Ending on another high note, I have been working out a lot more recently, and have been loving it! I started a few weeks back with some small and less intense workouts, and have been increasing the intensity gradually. I have been creating my own workouts which I am thoroughly enjoying. As I begin to make more progress, I may write a blog post on these workouts, or just my fitness journey in general, so let me know whether you’d like to see that!

I hope that everyone is doing well, have an amazing week, will be back in a week with the start of new content!

summer skincare routine

-

Skincare is usually not something I care too much about, and as I do have pretty clear skin. However, I have wanted to have a routine in place, as I am trying to reduce the amount of break outs I have! I mean, what a great time to be writing this, considering I have just broken out with a few spots around my nose! I don't own a lot of skincare products, and its just because my skin rarely needs a full, deep cleanse, but these products I use on a daily basis. In the morning, I will only apply the last 3 products, just because I don't usually have a lot of time to focus on skincare! In the evenings, I start by taking off my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Water and a cotton pad, which thoroughly takes off my makeup, meaning I can skip the stage of cleansing. If I am feeling lazy however, I just remove my makeup with a makeup wipe. I then hydrate my face with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray, which helps my skin from not going dry in the summer months.

3 ways to make your spotify 'aesthetic'

-

Music is something that makes me so happy, and you find me listening to it a lot of the time (as I’m writing this I have my summer playlist on), whether that be with my airpods in and being respectful to everyone, blasting out my records, or just having a party in my room (this happens more often than not!). I use and update my spotify account regularly, and like to keep it as ‘aesthetic’ as possible, and there are ways to do this. I will link my spotify below if you’d like any inspiration 😊 1.       Update your playlists regularly. New songs are released weekly, and you can often find songs that you forget about but never add them to playlists. By updating playlists, it means you’re not having the same selection of songs on repeat, which can eventually get boring. As well as adding new songs, removing songs you don’t like as much anymore or don’t fit a certain vibe in a playlist, it can help you to enjoy some playlists a lot more, rather than having to skip so many songs before f

  Hello and welcome back to the blog, or welcome if you are new! I’m here with another extra collab post, I have been working with Vivian and Sairah from iridescent.photo.blog to bring you this cross over collab! The girls have just finished secondary school and are about to start sixth form/college, and I have just finished sixth form, I got my A-Levels (literally yesterday as I’m writing this). So, I am writing a letter to my 16 year old self, of what I wish I’d known, and the girls will write a letter to their 18 year old selves, which they can refer back to when they are in my position! I will link all of their socials, as well as their blog and post down below! Dear Amelia, I know you’re petrified to start sixth form in a brand-new place, with so many new people, and with a dress code that you’re not so keen on! But I tell you now, you’re going to enjoy the 2 years (most of the time) and you actually really like the dress code once you put your own spin on it! The bigges
