a little day out...

Image
So, since COVID regulations have been eased a little in the UK, I have been having more days out with my family, plus a solo trip to York to see a friend I am going to university with. Over these days I have been taking a lot of photos so this post is just a recent photo dump ! You are bound to have seen or will see these on my Instagram, which I will leave a link to at the bottom if you’re not already following! Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/bymillsx/   I hope you liked this little different post from me, loved just sharing some pictures on the blog! Are you into photography? Let me know in the comments! Also, if you have GCSE results this week, a massive good luck, I’m sure you’ll smash it! mills x

why i've started intermittent fasting...

Image
Hello everyone! Welcome to or welcome back to the blog, I’m back with another fitness related post, one that I have really wanted to write for a long time, but I wanted to learn more about the eating plan and actually do it for an extended period of time before writing about it . Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern (some refer to it as a diet but I am not a fan of this), where an individual fasts for an extended period of time, and then eats within a certain period of time. There are different types of intermittent fasting, but the most common method and the one I am doing at the moment is the 16:8 method . This involves fasting for 16 hours, and eating for 8. Typically, this fast occurs from 8pm in the evening to 12pm in the following afternoon. Within the fasting time, you can only drink water, black coffee or black tea (some milk is allowed but not excessive amounts). I would just like to add a little disclaimer : I am not doing this as a strict ‘diet’ as such, because ...

how i edit my blog photos!

Happy Monday people! Welcome back or welcome to the blog! Recently I asked what people wanted to see on the blog in the future, and this was a post that was requested, and I have been very excited to share this! Despite being so excited, I think this will be very underwhelming as I actually don’t edit my photos lots. I like to keep my photos fairly authentic, as I feel like overly edited photos are too much. To be the basic girl I am, I just use VSCO to edit. I find the free presets are enough for me to edit in the way I want to. I use the same edits on every photo to keep consistency through my blog photos (and Instagram to be fair). I am not going to share the exact numbers, as I do like the preset I have created for myself and would like to keep this original for my blog but I am happily going to share the edit icons I use! As well as this, I don’t keep the numbers the same every time, I do just play about with what works for me and the post I am editing photos for! If I take...

album covers as outfits... (a lookbook)

Going to start this post off with a little story… About 2 months ago I was out for the day, and as I was walking home, a song came on, and I thought to myself ‘this outfit matches the song I’m listening to’, and an idea began to form in my head, hence this post. I came home and started planning, so this has been a long time in the making! I have tried to match 5 outfits to album covers, including the one I wore on the day I first thought of the idea! I haven’t actually seen anyone do this so I am SO excited to be bringing you this! outfit 1- boogie (brockhampton) album cover :) The first and original outfit I thought of: for this I paired a yellow long-sleeved crop (from PrettyLittleThing as a hand-me-down), with my blue ripped mom jeans (Primark) and my black patterned Converse. As for accessories I kept it simple and just added my iets frans all black D ring belt. I do love this outfit, and will wear it again, plus I live and die in these jeans! outfit 2- roses (saint jhn) al...
