Date Ideas

Image
Going on dates is fun but sometimes it's hard to think of new dates and ideas on where to go. Sometimes you don't want to do the same old, same old dates so I thought I'd share some suggestions of date ideas you can do with either your partner, friend or even on your own if you're brave enough. Let's get started. Cinema Date I actually went on my first cinema date a few weeks ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I always love any chance of going to the cinema and I'm used to doing it either by myself or with my mum usually. This time though I got to experience it with my boyfriend which was nice. We spent the majority of it holding hands and eating popcorn. It's just a fun way to spend time together, obviously you don't do much talking but it's fun to experience a movie together. It's a good movie too, it makes it all better. I highly recommend going on a cinema date. Dinner Date I'm not talking about going to a fancy restaurant together for dinn...

Junk Journaling

Image
I feel like this year has been a year of scrapbooking and wreck this journal, now I’ve discovered a new hobby. Junk journaling. I feel like Instagram has inspired me to do this because my for you page is literally full of scrapbooking but then it started recommending junk journaling. I was definitely inspired while on my trip to Ireland which caused me to basically keep all momentos and ‘trash’ which I’m glad I did because when I got to making my spreads I had options to choose from. To be honest, years ago I used to scrapbook memories except that this is more overdrive because now I’m also keeping things like crisp packets, packaging and receipts. Honestly the one thing I love about junk journaling is that it doesn’t have to be perfect. Mainly because it’s just going to be you that will probably read it unless you’re like me who is currently sharing snippets of her junk journal with you right now. Yet who cares how perfect it is. I think the more imperfect the better.  Here are a ...

3am Thoughts

Image
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and no matter how hard you tried, you just can't get to sleep no matter what you do. Sometimes you may have thoughts going around your mind or if you're like me, you may have inspiration to do something productive. I was tempted to do some junk journaling because I collected a few pieces for my junk journal but then I thought that might be too messy and noisy at 3am. Instead I grabbed my laptop and started writing some posts including the one you are reading right now. I had a couple still in their draft stages so I worked on them and scheduled them for uploading. Then I thought I'd make a rambly post as I'm doing right now about my 3am thoughts. I mean technically as I'm writing this it's actually 4:15am but I've been up since 3am. I probably should try and go back to sleep but luckily on this night it is my day off tomorrow and I don't really have much planned for it.  To be fair, I think what didn'...

Belfast

Last week we travelled to Belfast. I thought I’d share a little photo journal of my trip and everything I did.  Let’s get started. Started off with an early morning drive to Cardiff Arriving at the airport  Breakfast with a tasty avocado and eggs, sadly the eggs weren’t runny but it was still tasty. Getting on the plane, this is probably the smallest plane I’ve travelled in and it had propellers too. Flying over the Irish Sea Had Frankie and Benny’s and was surprised they still had one open. Went for a walk around the city centre The view of our room The main event of our trip was the Titanic museum. It was honestly interesting and at one point there was a little ride through the shipyard which was unexpected but pretty cool. It was interesting to walk around and learn the history of it all from start to finish. Definitely worth going to see especially towards the end, you really do feel the impact of the tragedy. Here are a few photos I took. Afterwards, we decided to go on a...

Cosy Little Hobbies

Image
Recently I’ve had a few little hobbies that I’ve been enjoying and I thought I’d share them with you to give a try this Autumn. Let’s get started. Scrapbooking Honestly I love scrapbooking. I gained love from watching videos online of people doing it and I was in love. I love creating different spreads in my scrapbooks. I’ve already filled one and I’m halfway through filling two more. It’s honestly so therapeutic and it helps me to pass the time. I can watch a video or listen to music while I do it and I’m in the zone. It’s also nice because there’s no real rules to scrapbooking. It doesn’t have to be perfect and you can do whatever you want with it. You can create themes or just do what you think works. It’s entirely up to you and that’s why I love it. Wreck this Journal Similar to the previous but slightly different in other ways. I got one of these ages ago and filled it but I never completed it. I recently got one in colour and I love it. Every day I’ve been doing a different promp...
