A little update

Hello!
How are you? News? Exciting things? Let me know in the comments section

This past week was quite hectic for me. I started my first job ever (!!) on Monday so I spend the whole week trying to get used to a new routine and organizing my time, clearly without success.

Also I dropped my phone in water and I had to spend some days looking for a store to repair it but no luck. So no internet out of the house until I get a new phone.

I had no time to write and publish posts, check out and respond to comments, to properly read my favourite blogs or watch my favourite youtubers. So, basically I had no time to do some of my favourite things.

I miss watching youtube videos and reading blogs. I'm feeling disconnected with the things I used to follow every day. And saying I miss these online things makes me think about how much I'm attached to the internet, but let's not start rambling about that now.
Let me know if you feel like this when you spend some days away from the internet.

Help! I need to manage my time and get myself back on track. Any tips?

Just a little post to update you and say I'm still here.
Don't forget to let me know how are you.

Lots of hugs, A

Reminders | Let it go

'Let it go', that popular phrase that became even more popular after Frozen, that by the way I didn't watch yet.

I always saw this phrase all over the internet and thought 'yeah okay, but how do I do it'. I guess I just assumed I wasn't capable of doing such thing, that it wasn't possible. But, luckily, things have changed!

I can't say I fully understand it yet, but I'm here to tell you that it's possible and I made it.

How easy do you let things go? Well, I find it to be a hard task to do and I guess it's because we collect memories and they make us feel attached to moments.

Months ago I would spend too much time thinking about the past and wishing for a brighter future, but I was doing nothing at the present to create that future. I was so attached do the past and the bad things that I couldn't enjoy the now.

Right now I  don't find myself in the past anymore. I wish I had a step-by-step guide to share with you, but I don't. I guess I just decided it was about time do let things go and now they are gone. I realized I had a choice.

Now I understand that there's no need to hold on to things that hurt me (daaah!). Those things won't take me anywhere and they were just occupying space on my mind and stopping me to live. Now I understand that some things need to go in order to others come. We need to make space for new and happy things.

I feel that starting the blog helped me. When I wrote that first post I was finally expressing everything I wanted and putting it out there. That text wasn't just on my mind anymore and I guess that helped.

So, if you are holding on to any past things, please


Try it. Say to yourself 'Got no time for this anymore, I want to let it go', write about what you want to let go and see what happens

Happy Monday :)

Lots of hugs, A

Youtubers | Annie Jaffrey

Happy Friday!! Thought I would share one of my favourite youtubers with you again.

Annie makes videos about things like beauty, fashion and health so her channel is totally different from the other 3 youtubers I've shared before.

I think she was the first health youtuber I came across with, when I was just starting to discover youtubers and she was the one do make me think about my body health. She inspired me to try to eat healthier and take care of my body way before I knew anything about plant-based diet.

Somehow, I lost her and when I found her again she had transitioned to eating 100% raw. At the time, I was already thinking about changing my diet so she inspired and encouraged me to do it even more.

I used to watch her fashion (hauls) and healthy related videos, just because makeup is not my thing and those two topics were my favourites, but nowadays I watch all her videos, even the ones related to beauty (hair, skin, makeup) as I get to know vegan brands (which I love).

I get so much happiness and motivation just from watching her videos. She radiates energy! 
Yeah, you can tell I'm a big fan of her. She has such a positive spirit and seems so friendly. I would love to meet her in person.

The video I've chosen to share with you is quite long, but it's one of my favourite videos of her. I can relate to it a lot


She also has a blog, Instagram and Tumblr accounts that you should definitely check out.

Did you know Annie?

Lots of hugs, A
