Today I want to try something new on the blog. I'll always love carefully curated beauty content but as I also share a large part of lifestyle posts too and that's where my own life comes into this blog a little more. Something I always enjoy to watch is vlogs but as I'll never be comfortable enough to pick up a camera and do that myself it's something I've always wondered could be brought across into blog post format. So here is an attempt at that as well as a few awesome things to do this Sunday;

Loneliness is not something that I've been shy to talk about over the past few years. And I think whether we like to admit it or not it's something that we all struggle with from time to time and especially in our 20's when our lives are completely different from what they used to be at school or university. Loneliness is something that is always seen as such an awful somewhat embarrassing thing which makes the whole emotion feel so much worse than it needs to be which makes people even more scared to admit they might feel a little lonely. And I know in the past it's something that I've felt very ashamed of but I know that feeling that way ultimately doesn't change anything and it's down to us to make a difference and here are the things that I've found really to help when it comes to loneliness.

Although I might be making a sweeping statement here and could be completely wrong. I feel like most people who have been in the blogging world for a number of years either have been or might currently be going through the feeling of being a little bit lost. Whilst the blogging world is so much older than often the beauty world gives it credit for it's certainly evolved into something I could have never have imagined it would be. The homemade cosiness of blogs has now, for the most part, disappeared in favour for high-end editorial shots and sponsored content. And this isn't to say that's wrong because it's incredible and it's amazing to see what people have done with their internet space. But so many of us still crave that raw and realistic feel to blogging which is why so many of us we're attracted to it in the first place and I think it's normal to no longer feel like you fit in after a while. Especially when everything is so high end and luxury as that isn't something that is obtainable to the vast majority of us and it can make feel like you need to find your footing with blogging all over again. So here are a few things to bear in mind if you do feel a little lost.

Talking about money isn't something I tend to do. It's probably one of the most personal subjects out there and also an incredibly sensitive one and when discussing it, it's all too easy to come across as preachy and condescending even when you don't want to. So this post begins with a little bit of a disclaimer, no-one has the right to tell you how to spend your money and it's as simple as that. However, this subject is something that I've wanted to write about for a while because I know I'm probably not the only one who encounters this dilemma. Saving my money is something that I've found a lot of joy in over the years which is surprising as I used to have a terrible addiction to spending money when I was a serial emotional shopper. And for the most part I still do really enjoy buying things but as of right now I buy a lot less mostly because my income isn't completely disposable so that means I can't do that. So I thought I'd share some of the best ways I've found to save money whilst still buying yourself a treat every so often.  

One of my all time favourite pass times when I'm procrastinating is scrolling through Pinterest to gaze at all the delicious cake recipes. I've said it before and I'll say it again that I'm not blessed when it comes to cooking but something I do really enjoy is baking. It's something that I always did as a child with my mum and especially in the Summer it's something I love as it's when you can go and pick your own fruit and put it into your baked goods. And as we're set for a heatwave this weekend in the UK there is no better time to whip up some delicious treats.
