What I've Been Wearing Recently
We all know by now that I'm no fashion blogger but from time to time I do really enjoy writing about style. There aren't going to be any awkwardly posed fashion posts coming your way anytime soon but I do share my outfits on Instagram from time to time and here is what I've been wearing recently laid out in a little more detail:
The Less Obvious Benefits to Exercise
If you've been following my blog over the summer you will know that I've been doing regular fitness posts as I made a huge effort to get into shape. My initial reasons for wanting to do this is because I did want to shift a few pounds but more importantly I needed to improve my fitness levels and health, seriously there were slugs in better shape than I was. So since June I've been going to the gym and classes on a regular basis and I've realised there are so many benefits to exercise that go above the obvious physical ones.
Doing Things For You
There has been big periods in my life where I felt like the only reason I was doing things was for the benefit of other people. Whilst I love doing things for others I also believe that there are times when you have to be completely selfish and do things for you. Being in my mid twenties I've realised just how important it is to work on yourself and to doing things only for yourself, sometimes these things cross over and they can benefit my most loved ones which is great but they aren't the reason for doing it. If we don't do these things for ourselves then nobody else will and here are some of the things that I do only for myself.
Going Sans Make Up
For a long time I was too unhappy with my skin to go out without make up. Having horrible breakouts that make you want to cry just at the sight of them isn't nice so I used make up to cover it all up and it made me feel so much happier about my complexion. I did this for years, for some reason I just didn't feel like myself without a full face of make up. It's taken me till the age of 24 to be comfortable with my skin and be truly happy leaving the house without make up.
