10 Things I Can't Live Without

As my life is so up and down all the time I thought I’d share some of the things that I simply can’t live without. That keep me going from day to day. There’s a real mixture of things from beauty, to lifestyle, to people! 

May Must Haves

I’m going to get back into doing monthly must have posts again, because I absolutely love reading what people have enjoyed recently. I’m going to have a mixture of everything as per usual so let’s get going!

Blend Academy

In November I made a life/career decision and decided I wanted to train to be a makeup artist. I have loved makeup since I was about 17 and I have always wanted to make a career out of it but have been scared what people will think or how to do about it. After loads of long conversations with Dan about it I decided to finally take the plunge and I started my journey with Blend Academy. 

Getting back on track

I was meant to post this on Wednesday but would it really be a blog post from Tyler right now if it wasn’t off schedule?! Let’s have another little random ramble and see what promises I make this time...

The power of a routine

It's safe to say I've been lacking in the daily routine department lately. With everything that is going on my routine has kinda gone out the window and I am usually someone who thrives from having a routine. So, I thought if I write this post on how important routines are and how I'm going to get back on it maybe it'll hold me accountable in some way?

Songs I'm Loving

Travelling up to London pretty much every day for the last week I’ve been listening to loads more music than normal so I thought I’d share some of my favourite songs at the moment that are really seeing me through the Lon journeys. There’s a real mix because my music taste is kind of anything and everything! 

Don't go chasin' waterfalls...

I am coming at you at 11:40pm from my very messy bed, with pyjamas that are well over due a wash and my hair in a messy bun. That pretty much sums up my life right now. Anyway, the picture and title have nothing to do with this post but I like the photo and all I can think when I see it is those lyrics.

Goodbye 2017!

Today marks the end of another year and I would be lying if I said I wasn't glad to be saying goodbye to 2017. It has brought heartache, change and personal struggles but you know what? I've made it out the other side, I'm happier and stronger than I ever have been and 2017 also brought some pretty amazing times too which I'm going to round up in this post! Most of these are from the second half of the year because if I'm totally honest...the first half of the year isn't worth any mention.

Bloggers of the Year

I didn't quite know what to post between Christmas and New Year and I am an avid reader of blogs so I thought I would share with you the blogs I have loved reading this year. These are the five blogs that I read religiously and eagerly await their next post.

The Christmas Tag

Being Christmas Eve I thought it was fitting to answer the Christmas Tag questions so you can all get to know me a bit better, more specifically, how I spend the festive period! I am the queen of Christmas so I enjoyed writing this one up.

My Winter To Do List

I was inspired by Poppy Deyes' Seasonal To Do list posts that I decided to create my own winter "to do list" post of all the things I want to do before it starts to warm up again. It's time for being festive, food and being cosy, my favourite time of year.

Christmassy Things To Do

I am fully in the Christmas spirit, the Grinch pyjamas are on, the festive bedding is on and the Christmas tree is up. Here is a list of all of my favourite Christmassy Things To Do in the run up to Christmas.

My favourite Christmas films

I definitely wrote this post last year but I have changed blogs since then and got a lot of new readers so I thought I would do a little bit of an updated version. Let me know your favourite Christmas film in the comments below, and leave your blog link in you have one.

Getting in the Christmas spirit

For the whole of November I saw loads of people really getting in the Christmas spirit and getting all their decorations up and listening to christmas music every day, but, for me it was just too early. Even though I am literally the Christmas queen. I felt like a real bah-humbug, but now I am fully in the Christmas spirit, so if you too are struggling to get the festive feels this year try out a few of my festive tips to kick start your Christmas spirit.

My Favourite Christmas Songs

It's the most wonderful time of the yeeaarrr....(if you didn't sing that in your head then I'm afraid we can't be friends!) Things are about to get hella christmassy over here and I am so ready for it. So here is my definitive list of the best Christmas songs (in my opinion of course). They're going to be in no particular order except number 1 is my favourite Christmas song of all time. Okay, let's do this!

Mind Happy Habits

If you've read my Mental Health and Me post then you will already know that I've struggled badly with my mental health the past few months. I've been trying to incorporate little daily changes and habits into my daily routine to try and lift my mood and keep my mind happy. So these are my current mind happy habits.

Mental health and me

It's taking a lot to write this post and actually tell people about what has been going on the last few months. But it's important to talk about mental health as it is gradually losing it's stigma and people are realising that it is just as important as physical health. Anyway, I guess this is my mental health story.

Things to do instead of scrolling social media

 

This post is completely inspired by my internet best friend and my complete rock in life, Louise (louisechatters.com). She is absolutely brilliant and I go to her for anything and everything and I couldn't be more grateful to have someone as warm and kind as her in my life. But anyway, she wrote a post called "5 things to do instead of scrolling social media" and it really hit home with me. This day and age we are constantly reaching for our phones, scrolling twitter and instagram and then picking up our phones again to do exactly the same thing 5 minutes later. I am not that bad at this but I could definitely be better so I'm going to try and make a conscious effort to pick up my phone less and add a bit of variety into my life. So here are some things you can do instead of scrolling through your phone for 12 hours of the day!

Autumn Loving

Autumn and winter are by far my favourite seasons. Today's post (my first official post, woohoo!) is going to be a list of a few of the reasons why I love autumn so much. We are well into autumn now and here is why I am loving it.

The adventure begins...again

 Well hey there! To some of you I may be a completely new person just writing a blog and starting out anew but to some of you I may be an old face that has popped up with a new blog once again. So basically here is the story so far...
