i'm taking a break...

-



This post has been a while coming by the time I come to write it. As most of you know, I move to university in about 3 weeks, and I have a lot of prep to do, it is a big life change for me and I want to be prepared. When I start university, I don’t have teaching for about 3 weeks, which gives me time to get used to my new home technically for the year, explore the city but also get ahead on blogging.

I have decided my way forward is to bulk write posts before I go and before teaching starts so that I have content to be producing over the next coming months. I do just want to say, please bear with me up until Christmas as I am unsure on how busy my schedule will be! My rough plan for now is 1 post per week, unsure on the day at this point but I will confirm on my Instagram (if you’re not following, I’ll link below!). Also, if you would like to see anything specifically, let me know on the comments!

The next point I’d like to address is some research I did a few weeks back, I wanted to do an evaluation to see how much you are enjoying the blog and my Instagram pages, and I was happy with the results to say the least! I also came across some issues with the site while I was trying to update it, and because I’m not a master in coding, I really struggled with this. So, another reason I am taking this break is to switch sites. I am moving to Wordpress (I hope). I want more control over my site and Blogger isn’t doing that for me, so this means a change is needed! I have a bit of research to do which is why I’m taking these 2-3 weeks off, to learn about the new site, get used to it and create something I am proud of! I wanted to make this switch before university, because I don’t want to be mid-term, busy with assignments, and with a site that is half finished!

Finally, I need a break. I have been consistently posting 2-3 times a week since mid-April, and as much as I have loved this, I have started to lose motivation, particularly with my Instagram. I feel that breaks in this community are needed and shouldn’t be frowned upon, we are human after all. I’m coming back with fresh content, fresh ideas and hopefully a new site!

So, for now, goodbye from me. I am still going to be producing some Instagram content so please follow me on there to stay updated with everything that’s going on! Also if anyone has any tips for Wordpress (I’m going to try transfer all my posts), please let me know in the comments! I should be back in 2 or 3 weeks’ time, just want to say a big thank you to everyone for the support so far,

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. This also gi...

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 ski...

  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 bi...
