Youtubers | Dan The Director

Ben introduce me to Dan's Youtube channel a couple of months ago and the first video I decided to watch was 'Press Play, Smile' and I can say for sure that it was a great first impression.

After that video I became a subscriber and watched all the others videos. At the time he had the channel in standby mode so I was just following him through instagram and Ben's vlogs in South Africa.

    

Recently he got back to the channel uploading weekly videos (yay) and last Wednesday released a video that has become my favourite. The video I'm talking about is the one below, features my favourite youtuber and I may have cried a little bit while watching it. 

This video got me emotional and made me think a lot about my life 

Besides his talent as a filmmaker (sooo creative), Dan's energy is contagious and I love his positivity and love for life. He's a truly inspirational person

Can't wait to see what his channel brings!!

Did you already know Dan's channel?

See you on Monday!

A cactus

I never thought I'd do a post about a cactus, but here we are.

Last Sunday I was food shopping at the supermarket when I came across with coloured cactus. It was love at first sight and when I realized that each colour had a different meaning I just felt I should take one home so I did it. Beautiful, meaningful and 1,99€ each. Of course I had to buy at least one.

I love everything that involves colours and meanings. By the way, anyone had one of those rings that changed colours depending on your mood? I can tell you I had a few. They clearly changed colours and I loved that magic. You know if they still around or something?

So now, into the cactus. According to the brand they sell 7 different colors but I couldn't find them all at the supermarket so I'm definitely going back to see if I can find the other colours as I kind of want all of them. Fingers crossed I can find them again!

I bought a green cactus, meaning hope and growth. I've choosed it because hope and growth are two things that I want present in my life. I really want a yellow one too, that means intelligence and energy.

I don't know anything about cactus so I have no idea of what should I do. Do they need some kind of special treatment? Should I water it? Will it grow? Are coloured cactus natural? 

Also, what's the plural form of cactus? Cacti, cactuses or cactus? I choose 'cactus' but I have no idea if it's right.
I'm seriously starting to research about cactus now!!

Should I name my cactus?
Do you have a pet cactus? Or any kind of plant?

Let me know!!

2 weeks later

Hellooooo!! Is super late but I wanted to do a quick post. 

I have missed you and the blog like crazy so I'm super happy to be back.

I'm starting to get back on track and actually learning and practicing time management. By the way, big thanks to Elizabeth and Emma for trying to help me!! Sending squeeze hugs for both of you!!

Since I dropped my phone in water I've been using a spare phone that I thought it was just a basic one to write texts, make calls, listening to music. Turns out I can watch youtube videos and even download some apps. Has a super tiny screen, but I can deal with that, I can access internet so it's all good.

This weekend I've managed to do some cleaning, food shopping, catch up with youtube videos and blog posts, watch a movie and 3 soap operas, organized ideas for future posts, took photos and started to learn some edit skills. Can you tell how proud I am? I've managed to do the majority of the things I wanted and it feels sooo good!!

So what's changed?
I started to think a lot about why I don't do things if they make me feel better, why I struggle so much to organize my time knowing I will feel good after it? Every morning I struggle to get out of bed but I know that if I don't I will feel bad because I wasted part of my day. So why do I hesitate so much?

I often don't do things that I know will make me feel good and that doesn't make any sense because I should just do them. I'm pretty conscious on that but still can't work it out completely. Convincing myself that I should do them is the hardest part, but once I do it things get pretty easy and that's what I'm starting to learn.

And what about you? Do you feel this too?
Plus, how have you been? What have you been up to in the past 2 weeks?

Let me know in the comments. Let's chat!!

Lots of hugs, A
