Candle Loving

There are few reasons for my deep loving of candles. Of course, there is the obvious point being that candles make your room smell nice, but I think my top reasoning for this love is just how they look. Now I'm not talking about the pretty jars here but that twinkle of the flame just out of the corner of your eye. I love it! Especially at this time of year when you're snuggled up on the sofa after a long day, a candle just provides you with that wonderfully cosy feeling that makes winter so special. 

So not only do candles make you feel cosy and relaxed and simply just look amazing, but I think that candles are great for setting the atmosphere. A perfect example of this is Christmas candles. I think that nothing gives my room that Christmas feeling more than my Christmas candles. With such a wide range of scents available to buy, it's almost impossible to go wrong with finding that perfect Christmas scent. 

I feel that one common misconception with candles is that you can only use them in the colder seasons, but I completely disagree. I completely understand the need for different candles throughout the year, but candles are so versatile and by far one of my favourite features about decoration. 

Basically, I love candles. 

I hope you have/had a lovely day.

Goodbye Summer

We are almost two weeks into September and as the temperature drops and the leaves begin to fall from the trees, it has become evident that summer has left. Despite how much I love summer, I am also so excited for Autumn to begin. Autumn brings cosy blankets, autumn walks and lots of tea! My favourite. Yet my absolute favourite thing about Autumn is the autumn candles, by far. So as the summer comes to an end, I thought I would look back to my summer and share just a few of my favourite pictures from my summer with you.

I had a lovely summer but am so excited for Autumn! 

Have a good day,

New Glasses

I have had glasses since around the age of 5. When I was younger I had to wear these little circular glasses that made me look adorable. However, as I grew older I kept forgetting to wear them. Then I decided that I didn't want to wear them because I didn't like how I looked. Yes, that's right, I chose to walk around with unclear vision purely because I cared too much about how I looked. Now my eyes aren't terrible so I could still see, but not as well as I would have liked to. 

So I hadn't been wearing my glasses for years when about a year ago I started to get headaches and my eyes started to hurt. Clearly, it was time to start wearing my glasses right? Oh no, I still put off wearing my glasses until I absolutely HAD to put them on. A few months ago I just got so fed up with this that I went and got myself some new glasses, well my mum got them for me (thanks mum!). 

So here we have my new glasses! 

I absolutely love them and like to think that they suit me. Believe it or not, they actually make me feel more confident about myself. You always hear about glasses making people feel less confident but they do the complete opposite for me. 

Now not only do I feel more confident but I can also see better! Win, win!

That is all for today, thank you for reading!

Cutting off my hair

Hello, everybody! 

So about 3 weeks ago I chopped off a decent amount of hair. I went from all this ...

 to this...

About just over a year before I got my hair dyed ombre. I really like the colour and it was nice. However, I hadn't died my hair before this and it proved very difficult to care for. I hadn't had my hair cut since I got it died and therefore my hair was in horrible condition. It felt dead and weak and it was just a nightmare to deal with. I had been wanting to go for a big change for a while so I just went ahead and cut it. 

Honestly, I miss the length of my hair a lot but it feels so much nicer now. It's a lot easier to care for and I know that my hair will grow quickly. I don't regret cutting it but I am excited for it to grow back!

Just a quick post but I wanted to write about it, so I did.

Thanks for reading, I hope your day goes well.

Bye!

Summer Picnic OOTD

Hello, everybody, I hope your day is going well.

The another day I went on a picnic with all my friends, so today I thought I would talk to you about my outfit.

I chose to wear this outfit because not only did I like how it looked but it was comfortable. On the day it was pretty hot and the sun was shining, so, of course, I wanted something that wouldn't make me too hot. I thought these shorts was perfect because of their flowy nature, they kept me nice and cool. Also with weather like this I love wearing crop tops with high waisted shorts or skirts. As for shoes, I decided to wear my coral canvas style shoes as they were super comfortable and added a pop of colour to the outfit.

Sunglasses ~ H&M

Crop top ~ New Look

Shorts ~ Possibly peacocks but I can't remember

Shoes ~ Also possibly peacocks but again I have forgotten

So that is all for today, lately, I have been loving patterned shorts and I hope to purchase more soon.

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a good day.
