Making important decisions.


Hey there guys. So the other day, I spent some time thinking about what I want in life, where I want to be in a few years and how to get there. Now I'm not normally someone who's very good at making decisions and thinking about things, as most of the time I just sit there and go with the flow. But, me, and my boyfriend decided it was about time I did sit down and think. I have been at University for the last two years, and to be honest, it's not my cup of tea. I used to enjoy learning new things, new languages etc.. but since being at uni, it all seems different, it's no fun anymore, just listening to a teacher talk whilst you write down notes about everything he says. The organisation of my uni is just terrible, and some of the teachers are either very ignorant or quite 'racist'. The whole thing is just a big thumbs down from me and I don't want to be trapped there anymore. Also, I live with my boyfriend in the town where my uni is. Now I am not a town person, I do like being there but for me, it;s too noisy, too many people, too much going on. I moved to France when I was 8, since then I have lived in the country with my mum (until I moved out) and at heart, I am a country girl, I have been since I moved over here, and so the country is where I belong. I am not a night life person, I don't like crowds, I don't like too much noise. Fields, forests, grass, flowers, peace, tranquility, THAT is what I like. 

And so, I made some important decisions..

I have decided to drop out of university for now, move back to my mums for a while, look for a job and eventually rent out a house with the person I love. I know it might feel like I am taking a step back cos I am moving back to my mums, quitting uni, but I feel like it is for the best and I am taking a step back to take two steps forward. I feel like I will be a happier person and will enjoy life a little bit more if all this goes to plan. 

I just want to let you guys know that, if you are not happy with what you are doing, stop. Stop doing it. There is no point in doing something that you are not enjoying, because you could be doing something that will be making you a lot happier, even if you know it will take time to get there, it will be worth it in the end. Don't do what people want you to do, don't let them choose your life career, your life path. Don't let people or obstacles get in the way of what you want. If you want something, even if it seems impossible, do it, go for it, try.. cos you will end up regretting it if you don't. Life is hard, but dreams are not impossible. Keep your head high, smile and everything will be just fine..

H&M Homeware Wishlist

Hey there guys! Can't believe it's been so long since I have last posted on my blog, but I have been in my exam period at Uni and haven't really found the time to sit down and write on my blog. I must admit, I have missed it. Now spring is here and the bright blue sky is back I am in a much happier mood and I am ready to get back into blogging!

So as you may or may not know I have my own place that I share with my boyfriend, and since we have moved in we have bought bits and pieces from all over the place to make our flat feel more homely, but it's not quite there yet. We haven't quite finished repainting all the rooms and making it look more.. us. So my goal this summer is to finish making our place home, for now. And Ito do that, I have started searching online for little decoration/homeware bits to start with and I stumbled across H&M's homeware range.. and fell in love with it. They have so many great things this season and I advise to go check it out. They have a great range of summery patterns and some beautiful gold and copper bits that are so 'in' this year. And so here are a few of the items on my wishlist this spring.


Tea towel on a wishlist? Yes! I love little sayings/quotations that mean something and so I am in love with this tea towel haha. As you may know if you have read a couple of my posts before, but 'Do more of what makes you happy' is my favourite saying and always has been, so therefore, this tea towel is a must have for me! 

This little gold bowl is so cute and I'm not quite sure what I would use it for just yet but I know I would find something for it.

Yes, another tea towel haha, but I just couldn't resist the pattern on this one, it's so summery and tropical!

This little tealight holder is so cute and these will look great anywhere around the house. I think you could even get away with putting a little plant in there instead of a candle as they are not too small. 

Again, another little saying that I think means a lot. I think this cushion cover will look great as a centre cushion on my bed. (Shame it doesn't actually come with a pillow though).

This gorgeous photo frame that hangs with a chain is perfect for me to hang some photos up in my hallway. I think the fact that it has a chain to hang it up just gives it a really nice different touch and I can't wait to get my hands on some of these. They also do them in gold and silver if you don't like the copper/bronze colour.

Hope you enjoyed my little wishlist and I would definitely recommend to go check out H&M homeware section on their website as they have so many gorgeous little things on there this season!
