We all have been there before – taking dozens of photos and none of them looking as bright and fabulous as the ones your favourite blogger uploads. I’ve been there and looking back now I wonder why the hell I thought that taking photos at 7 pm was a good idea. It definitely isn’t. Along time I’ve been learning how to take better photos and making them as bright as possible in A/W without using artificial light because – let’s admit it – some of us just don’t have the money for it.

We all have those cringy moments when we look back on things. About four years ago I started blogging and for some reason, I thought I could be a great beauty blogger and write incredible reviews about all my makeup bits - there weren't that many. Who knows if in four years time and laughing at myself because I thought I could a be a blogger at all? Right.

Mornings are definitely an important part of my day, as I’ve said multiple times before, but something that definitely makes mornings way more exciting is breakfast. I always have breakfast in the morning and it doesn't even matter if I'll leave the house anytime soon or not. I've learnt that breakfast is a very important part of my day years ago and the habit of eating in the morning sank through the years, which means nowadays I make time for breakfast no matter what.

Everyone outside this huge world of blogging thinks this is an easy task. “How don’t you have time to do it? It’s just a few pictures and text.” It isn’t and you – blogger – know that. I’ve lost count of the times I felt so overwhelmed with a number of tasks that need to be completed until you consider a blog post fully ready to go. Luckily through time, I’ve found a few tools that make my everyday blogging tasks easier and help me in specific situations.
This is a completely different generation. At 22 my mom was getting ready to get married and at 22 I’ll still be finishing my degree. This is how slow and fast life goes these days. Life is so fast paced but at the same time, you spend years doing the same thing – in my case – studying. Being 25 years old is remarkable, it’s such a round number and big one from where I see right now.

Mornings can be a nightmare for many people. Mornings were my own nightmare a few years ago but that has been gradually changing as I create new patterns in my life. My body and mind are so used to get up early now that I don’t mind it at all – as long as I’ve slept for at least 6 hours – and mornings end up being one of the most important and enjoyable parts of my day as I’ve settled a routine for myself.

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. A couple of months ago I wasn’t in a good place, I felt that I had no control over my life and everything of bad seemed to be happening at the same time. I became very insecure and fragile to the point where I could literally be laughing at one second and crying at the next.
