Say Yes to the Dress // Project 365 // Day 181

I was honoured to be invited along to help my friend find her wedding dress. The shop she went to was stunning and it was amazing to be able to watch her make her decision.

I can't wait to watch her dazzle as she walks down the aisle.

I'm reflecting light // Project 365 // Day 180

Now that I've worn out
I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light

fabfitfun // Project 365 // Day 179

I first noticed fab fit fun a few years ago it was the first subscription box I was interested in but was only available in America at the time, so I added my voice to there page that asked where else they should ship to and waited patiently.

There summer 2019 box is the first one that has been available for UK delivery and I had to get it after waiting so long.

So you get to pick some of your items and others are chosen for you, and the box was honestly fantastic. The rose water and lip balm are going to have to be repurchases as I love them so much. I'm still to try a few items and can't wait to take my beach towel to Greece with me.

Sun Kissed Life // Project 365 // Day 178

Since I decided I'd rather look like I'd permanently seen the sun rather than the blue tinge on pale my natural hue seems to stay, I mainly use sunbeds and natural sun. I hadn't yet ventured into the world of fake tanning until I went to a utan event and picked up some products to try.

Tanning Water is now my go to essential. I love it. A few sprays and its natural and glowy, which makes me very happy and confident.

Skin Idol is the perfect tan topper or easily added to foundation to make your colour match better.

I have yet to try full body fake tan as I am a little scared but plan to soon.

utan x Jamie Genevieve // Project 365 // Day 177

In early 2018 I decided that I no longer wanted to be pale and interesting and instead embarked on gaining a little bit of colour. I can confirm life is better with a tan.

My friend (pictured) won a competition to meet Jamie Genevieve at a launch of her utan collaboration and I was able to tag along and let me tell you her facial tanning mist is the best thing I've tried in a long time. It gives you the perfect colour. Easy to apply, easy to come off. And makes you look all glowy.

It's been the perfect excuse to take a little break from full make-up everyday and get back to loving the more natural look, with a little help of course.

And on days where I'm wearing make-up I've been adding skin idol to my foundation to help it match my bronzed skin.

Up in the Clouds // Project 365 // Day 176

Thinking about life up in the clouds
flying over city's and towns
new adventures awaiting
different streets to roam
life starts outside your comfort zone

Pondering // Project 365 // Day 174

As my 23rd year became my 24th I found myself in the toilet in a ruin bar in Budapest.

So much on my mind and then this question was posed.

Already answered by those before. My hazy mind started to ponder.

I often think that I have a predisposition for negative thinking, its my default and I my goal is to make a more conscious effort to start thinking more positively. So I can reach a point where I do it subconsciously.

Creative Energy // Project 365 // Day 173

you gotta mix the madness and magic
you gotta get in tune with the gut feeling
you gotta make a mess and organise your shit
you gotta get making
its amazing what you can do

xoxo

Drink to that! // Project 365 // Day 172

Bout to hop on the bar,
Put it all on my card tonight, yeah
Might be mad in the morning
But you know we goin' hard tonight
It's getting coyote ugly up in here, no Tyra
It's only up from here, no downward spiral

Observe // Project 365 // Day 171

Pizza Cone // Project 365 // Day 170

This little place was directly across from our apartment in Budapest and we were drawn in by the novelty of a pizza cone.

Though not fully disappointing it didn't live up to its full potential.

Stick to normal pizza.

Happy Place // Project 365 // Day 168

Sunday was the weirdest day, it was a whole emotion.

So I think of this my happy place though 1,488 miles away, I just think of what a perfect day I had here. The sun was shining, the water was glorious. Just spent a day basking in all the goodness that it was.

Ruins // Project 365 // Day 167

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning.

Views // Project 365 // Day 166

The one thing this project has really made me appreciate is views and sometimes its just perspective on how you view things and sometimes its finding views.

And like this one its the views that find you and take your breath away.

xoxo

Blue Skys // Project 365 // Day 165

Sooner or later with a view from the ground
Chasing the race and the races run you down
Sooner or later with a view from the ground
And a tear in your eye
You say baby why can't we fly
Into the blue sky
High
Into the blue sky

- Patty Griffin

But You Have Waited // Project 365 // Day 164

They say "The wait will not last forever." but you have waited the length of your life. You have done so many things right, only to still be in this place. But even here. There is still time to keep seeing old things in new light. for as grand as they may seem. life is more than future things. life is ticked in the everyday. the sidewalks and the boardwalks and hallways. so go live at length in the present and you'll get better at living with time. Find unbridled joy in each moment and while you wait you will be fine

Horizons // Project 365 // Day 163

The thing about travel is that it can be messy and revealing and exhilarating and exhausting and beautiful and moving and breathtaking.

You will look upon new horizons and come back and never be able to see old ones the same again.

It will change you, in ways you won’t be able to tell at first. It will leave you the same and yet won’t at all.

When normalcy resumes and you’re cloning onto the moments in you’re head wondering when you can run away next.

There are horizons new awaiting for you. You just need to chase them.

And you will...

xoxo

Budapest // Project 365 // Day 162

I strolled the streets of Budapest as I finished my lap on another year, I celebrate the turning of the clock and added another digit to my time on this planet.

There is something soothing when confronted with the passage of time, that you feel you are spending it wisely. Travel is something I'd gladly do forever. Exploring somewhere new pleases my wanderlust heart greatly.

Though no new adventures are currently planned and I don't return to my first love London till November I'm not against a random adventure popping up.

xoxo

I'll sit and wait for whatever it is // Project 365 // Day 161

I'll sit and wait for whatever it is
That keeps be believing in a city like this
Be it the people, or be it the views
I am not lost and I am not confused

xoxo

Go Chase the Sun // Project 365 // Day 160

I’m preparing to go home from my third adventure of the year. With no others planned anytime soon it’s a hard task.

It’s been gloriously warm and all to exciting exploring Budapest. Thermal baths are my new favourite thing for sure and I’m not quite ready to go back to the cold.

xoxo

Another Spin Round the Sun // Project 365 // Day 159

I've completed yet another spin around the sun. I started it in Prague and ended it in Budapest and with a trip to London and Berlin in-between I've managed to travel... though my hopes are higher for more throughout this next spin I've had a good time pushing myself in this last year.

Though a weird mix of highs and lows my 23rd year ended up being a lot of self discovery and re-finding my passions and loves.

So give me a glass of gin and cheers to the years behind me and the years to come... let's say fuck it to life and let what comes come.

xoxo

I don't wanna wait // Project 365 // Day 158

"When we got home, I had no doubt
I went to the bathroom to freshen up
I threw too many back, I laid her down
He couldn't get it up, so I just passed out"

xoxo

Conspiracy // Project 365 // Day 157

"Satellites and spooks, they're watching over us
There ain't no one out there we can trust
I'm telling you man there must be some conspiracy
The Pentagon, the Kremlin, 

it's all the same don't you see?"

xoxo

Troubles // Project 365 // Day 156

"We wrapped our troubles in dreams among other things
Tell me do you ever still think of me"

xoxo

Neptune // Project 365 // Day 155

I have the
oceans soul

I want
everthing
and nothing
in harmony

I am
Chaos

Forgive Yourself // Project 365 // Day 154

Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time. Forgive yourself for giving away your power. Forgive yourself for past behaviours. Forgive yourself for the survival patterns and trait you picked up whilst enduring trauma. Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be.

Checkpoint Charlie // Project 365 // Day 153

Berlin is a city that is full of history. Checkpoint Charlie is a really fascinating area that has a checkpoint and actor dressed in uniform to give a feel of what it was like.
