Where Have I Been ?

So it's been about 2 weeks since my last Youtube video and 1 week and a half since my last post here... There is a reason for this absence and withdrawal. I have had a lot to do lately, a lot in mind and I hardly have time to think about videos or posts.

When the year began - and even before that - some things happened in my life which I am trying to deal with in best of ways without getting myself submerged in them.

I won't go deeper into this subject but I can say to you that you have nothing to worry about. I will find a way to deal with the recents events and I will go back to my normal self - or even a better me, who knows??

But what I wanted to say is that I am not in the best of moods and I won't be until the things happening in my life are solved, so for now I will not commite to making any videos on my channel nor blog posts here.

I really want to keep doing posts and videos but at the moment I am somewhat unable to do it. But as soon as I feel better, as soon as the troubles that I have in hands are solved I will be back on the video and post "making".

I could have kept on doing videos and blog posts - and I tried, believe me - but they weren't good enough, I was not happy about them. I don't want to put up content that I am not proud of so it's better to take some time for myself, some time to better myself and to better my content and then, when I feel ready, I will start putting up content again!

One more thing before I leave, I am trying to grow both my channel and my blog, content wise. I want to keep doing, showing and talking about the things that I talk about but I also want to start putting up content that I am really passionate about. Things like fashion & beauty (which I don't talk about as much as I'd like to), food & recipes, new discoveries, music, acting, lifestyle and random little things that I love!

Like promised I will be back as soon as I feel like it's best for me to come back, as soon as I feel better and as soon as I feel happy about my content.

Until next time my loves!

Love,

2014 Songs

It's the New Year which means it's time to create new memories and to try new things. But that can't be done until all of last year's favourites are kept in a place where in a few years time I can go back and say "Oh, it's true, in 2014 I really like this and that...". So, what better place to save memories than a place where I go on a daily basis. This way I won't forget where I've saved my memories...

As you probably could tell by the title of this post and by my little ramble I am going to be telling you about my favourite songs in 2014. It will be to let you know a little more about myself but also to save my "song memories" some place I can easily access in a few years time. Enjoy!

In 2014 I loved a whole range of songs that go from slower and more melow songs to up beat ones that get you started for the day by boosting your mood. Also the fact that I went to a few concerts last year really made me love songs even more.

I went to an Emblem 3 concert (before Drew left the band), Union J, Jessie J & Justin Timberlake, One Direction and James Arthur. I watched Ed Sheeran's and Lorde's Rock in Rio's concerts on TV.

Because of all them concerts I started listening to the albums of the respective artists a lot! 

Emblem 3's album was a mood booster for Spring.

I really enjoyed listening to the slower songs on Union J's album.

I started loving One Direction's album all over again - this always happens to me with them: I go to a concert and for a few months I am in love all over again!

Jessie J's older songs were a favourite of mine this Summer.

Justin Timberlakes's songs were blessing whenever I wanted to dance around the house.

James Arthur's album was one of my favourites this year. It has a lot of meaningful songs which really touch me whenever I listen to them.

The TRXYE album was on repeat this Summer, specially "Happy Little Pill".

One album I also really loved this year was an album I've been waiting for for 2 years. And that album is Ella Henderson's Chapter One. I honestly love all of the songs in that album!

Also Little Mix's Salute album. So good, such an awesome mood booster.

In terms of single songs I really loved the classic "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Christina Aguilera - during the Christmas season obviously.

I really liked and still like "Yellow Flicker Beat", such a good song!

Soundtracks were also a favourite of mine - Disney Movies Soundtracks to be precise. Frozen was obviously the main one but I also really enjoyed Beauty & The Beast.

To end of the post I have to talk about my favourite song on Taylor's 1989 album. It has got to be "Blank Space", definitely!

And that's just a resume of my favourites songs of 2014. There's a whole lot more but I couldn' possibly name each and every single, otherwise the post would be the size of an elephant.

Tell me what were your favourite songs of 2014 on the comment section below!

New Year! New Hair!

I've been meaning to change my hair for a while but (1) I didn't have money to do with and (2) I wanted to let my hair grow a bit more before damaging it - as you know damaged hair is harder to grow.
So I have been looking at pictures of possible hair colours and cuts and I decided to combine them all together and post them here - my aim is that you reading give me your opinion on what colour and cut I should get.

Here are my choices of colour...

And here are my choices of cut...

Give me your opinions in the comment section below

I will talk to you soon, hopefully with new hair!

Take care xx

All About Me: Motivation | Goodbye 2014! Hello 2015!

This is the last post of the All About Me Series. Before I start I just want to say that I'm really happy that I've acomplished to do this series and I hope you've enjoyed reading the posts and watching the videos and I also hope that it was helpful, comforting or just a nice thing to read/watch.

This has got to be my favourite post of all because it's the more positive one. Obviously I intended to do inspirational post & videos with each and every subject of this series but sometimes these types of things can come across has negative things. But that's why I wanted to end this on a high note, on a positive one!
As you can read by the title this post is about the end of 2014, the start of 2015 and being motivated about and for life!

In 2014 I decided I wanted to start looking at life with a more positive perspective of things and just be a more positive person. I have to say it wasn't hard at all, it was pretty easy. There were obviously times when I felt more down and I didn't make an effort to be positive but everyone's allowed to have bad days. The only thing that mattered is that I always tried to wake up the next day and move foward, not think about the previous day and be positive.
Trying to be and live like that was a wonderful decision because I was enjoying life a lot more, appreciating things and I geniunely felt more happy.

One year later and I am still on this mind set, I am still a positive person and I feel a lot better about life and about myself. I wake up every day thinking that the day will be good, I am motivated to do things and I feel positive about the future.

This year I want to keep on being and feeling like this but I specially want to rub that on others around me. And like I said on my "Wishes For 2015" post I am going to sort out my relationships and only keep around me people that are positive, only have happy&healthy relationships.

Like I said I am much more motivated to do things. For example, when I wasn't on a positive mind set I wasn't motivated to go out and work out and I just stayed home eating my feelings away and getting more and more sad, more depressed about my weight and just really miserable. Once I started looking at things with a positive perspective I realised that if I want to feel good about my body and weight I have to do something to change it but I also realised that I am allowed to have cheat days and that starting a healthy diet and lifestyle is not about depriving myself from the things I like, is all about variety and trying new things.

On my video - soon to come - I will give you tips and real examples of my lifesyle change and on being motivated. But for now this is all I can say!
I hope you liked this series. Make sure you tell me what were your favourite episodes and tell me what helped you most. Thank you so much for reading and watching. I will talk to you in my next post!
Love,
