“Sometimes life requires more of you than you have to give & demands you plunge into the reinvention of yourself if you truly wanna live.” ― Curtis Tyrone Jones

There are times in life when things get out of control. We all have had those moments. Everything is going fine and then you shut your eyes for a second and when you open them again the world is upside down.

Photographs can make it or break it when it comes to growing your blog or small business and that’s probably why everyone wants to know the deepest secrets of this art. But – and this is a big but – is there any secret to be told? Obviously there are things you must learn if you want to improve your photography – the basics of photography, shooting manual on a DSLR, aperture, shutter speed and all those complicated terms I couldn’t understand a few months ago; most of all it's practice, learning what works for you and finding your photography style.

“How long can you go without washing your hair?” People always pull their surprise face when I say I can go 4-5 days without washing my hair. Then comes the following question “How do you do it?”

How many times have you told yourself and others "I don't have time"? Probably way too many. In the last few years I've learnt a lot about organising my days and being in control of my life and I know what things help me achieve everything I want. 

If you’ve never heard someone say “I’m totally broke”, you clearly have been living under a rock. Since I went to Uni, it looks like money flies away from my wallet and I don’t even notice it. Recently I have been doing some simple things that help me not only save more money but also to keep track of how much money I spend daily.

Who has never complained about not having enough time to get ready in the morning? The thing is more about previous organisation than about the amount of things you have to do. If you’re reading this at the moment, you probably didn’t organise a thing last night, did you?

Being a “morning person” is more about the habits you create that anything else. For many years I wasted mornings and I’d only start doing something productive around 3pm.
