10 ways to change your life today

Over the past few months I have being doing a lot of research and studying of how to actually make my life better and how to use what I already know to help others. I think for so long I have been trying to work out what I am wanting to write about on my blog posts. When I first started blogging I was writing a lot about fashion, beauty and confidence. Then it came to me, I finally figured out what I wanted to talk about and what I loved doing, and that is inspiring, motivating and encouraging others. So here it is... 10 ways to change your life. Now all of these 10 are things I have done recently that has put things into perspective for me so I really wanted to share them with you.

How to stay positive

I know positivity is a word that floats around a lot and we all have our own views on it. We can all see positivity in different ways but I wanted to share with you how I stay positive even when times are really tough( and I know we all have them times.) Yes we do need to try and see happiness and good in most situations in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life, but what sometimes some people don't realise is that being positive 24/7 can drain you. You have to let yourself have them moments where you can cry and just rant if you need to. Otherwise you are going to hold it all in and you won't be able to realise the bad energy. I always think you do what you need to do in order for tomorrow to be a brighter, happier day.

Letting go is not a weakness

Holding onto pain doesn't fix anything. Replaying the past over and over again doesn't change anything, and wishing things were different won't make it any better. We all have a past and sometimes it can be hard to forget it and let go but you have to realise when you can accept it and let go your life will become a much happier place. You have to let go of what is hurting you even if you can't imagine being without that person, you can't visualize your life without there presence. Making that decision to let go is a huge step forwards, many people see letting go as giving up, as giving into the pain and not even giving it another go. But in order to let go you need strength, you need a strong sense of who you are. Letting go does not show any form of weakness. In life we can experience a lot of pain whether it be in relationships, friendships, family, colleagues... you name it ! It can be from anything and anybody but what is important is to be able to control it and know when you need to take action know when the time has come and you just can't be surrounded by them anymore. Letting go of someone does take a lot of courage.

Falling in love with my life

To be able to live a happy life you have got to love your life. I have said this before about loving yourself. It doesn’t just happen overnight, you aren’t born with the attitude to love your life. You have to learn how to create the life you want. Two years ago I realised I wasn’t happy within my life , so I decided to make a change. I wanted to understand what made me happy and could I experience enjoyment in everything I did. I worked on myself for quite a while and trying to work out what made me happy and what I got a buzz off. After taking the time to reflect on how experiences made me feel I can now say I know myself and have a clear understanding of what I want.

Skincare I couldn't live without

Guide to a healthier, happier life

Going to Greece for 3 months!

I didn't think this blog post would be being posted in May.

Hmmmm...Maybe I will just start from the beginning. 

So at the beginning of March I decided I was going to go Greece for 3 months, now this was quite a big deal for me because I had never been abroad on my own. Never on an airplane alone so it was quite scary. Also I like to be at home I have a very strong relationship with my family and knowing I wouldn't see them for 3 months was going to be different( especially pops) but I knew I wanted to do this for myself. I had a job over there doing Musical Theatre, so I thought to myself I could do this and travel. I knew deep down if I didn't go and do it there and then I never would be I would then start my own business. So I flew out to Greece, I mean that was a huge deal flying on my own and then when I got the airport in Greece I couldn't find me luggage which was a panic. 

I arrived in Greece and from the start nothing seemed to be going right. My hotel wasn't ready so I was put into some apartments but the problem I had was I honestly had no idea where I was. The town I was in was full of Greek residents so they all spoke very poor English, I was so overwhelmed with everything that was going on and all I wanted to do was cry! 

Fizz Sticks are my life

Learning to live a happier life

Every day now I wake up feeling happy, motivated and ready to take on the day ahead of me. Sometimes I might not feel 100% happy like the day before but that's ok. I try my best to over come it and feel more positive. Probably a few years ago I would wake up feeling quite negative towards everything , dread getting up in the morning. Since realising what makes me happy and what doesn't I have altered what I surround myself with.

What Is Arbonne?

Arbonne Transforms lives through pure, botanically based ingredients in scientifically tested products; a pure, healthy lifestyle; and the pure joy of helping others.  

Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread

Raise your hand if you struggle with ideas for breakfast or a mid- morning snack? ME!!!!!

I brought Lucy Watson's ' Feed me Vegan' book, so this recipe is inspired by her!. This is a great recipe for on the go, you know if you don't have time to make anything from scratch. This bread loaf will last a few days in the fridge so don't feel like you need to throw it away or eat it all at once, and then I decided to slice it all up and freeze it.
