Stress. Something we all have had to go through. We experience it often & for most, every day! I know a lot of you are going through, are about to or are just coming out of exam blocks so... Firstly, I just want to say to everyone who has finished their exams:  CONGRATS!!  YOU SURVIVED! To everyone still going through or going in to exam block, I just want to say you will get through this, & hopefully this post will help you a little. I've done a post on my insta  ( ß click to view) about stress management but thought it would be easier for you to read/find if I put it here + added more tips for the ultimate guide... How to Manage Stress, When Your Life's A Mess Cry -  Honestly, I like to start my de-stress routine by crying it out! Allow yourself to momentarily sit with your emotions & flush it all out... I recommend taking a shower & crying, whilst you're crying in the shower imagine y

  It happened on a Saturday night… I could feel my mind growing heavy with anxiety and as much as I attempted to ignore it, my head was swirling with constant nagging thoughts… Before I knew it, I was laying in bed unable to breathe. Disconnected. I felt like the person I knew I was (& still am) was being sneakily tucked away in a draw as social media consumed me in its smoke & mirrors. For me, I never wanted social media to feel fake… There is enough of that on there as it is (both on social media and in the real world). However, the more I posted the more I felt myself being drained by the feeling that I had to be someone or/& impress people. I’m an Aquarius… So, that did not sit well for me (didn’t last long either, hah) The day after, I informed you all that I needed a break. I went away with both the intention of relaxing & figuring out what my “goal” was for social media. Deep down I knew that what I wanted most was to build a platform,

This Thursday, I had the privilege of attending the Asia Pacific Screen Awards. I left the event feeling inspired and proud to be a part of this film industry… Unlike the smoke & mirrors of LA (I love LA – don’t get me wrong), the event was organic, and the speeches were filled with joy and accomplishment that the years of challenging work each nominee & award winner put in to the film industry had finally been recognized. My favourite part of the event was seeing so many diverse cultures come together in celebration through film, & in an industry that still does not represent varying cultures and people of all races (pop culture), it was so so incredible to actually see just that in my own country. As Ann Marie Fleming (APSA Award winner for her animated film: Window Horses ) said on the night: “Poetry and art can build bridges between cultures” The Look To say I'm in love with this dress is an understatement! This dress is both elegant and

Whilst I feel overwhelmingly happy about my blog and I’m super excited to see how it all goes, I can’t help but feel a sense of anxiety… Second-thoughts drift through my head and I find myself questioning whether I should put myself out there. I, of course, am in an industry where if you don’t put yourself out there, chances are you won’t get very far... but as a mostly introverted person who feels anxiety I can’t help but want to close-up and/or second guess myself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super proud of myself for starting this blog and I hope it’ll continue to inspire and motivate me, as well as keep me connected to all my readers. However, in this post I just want to talk about how I, as an introvert, persevere and how I continue doing what I love despite these voices who second guess me (both in my head and out). Firstly, I want to thank both my parents, especially my father for always telling me to “feel the fear & do it anyway” … Growing up and even now as a

Hey! I’m super, super excited to finally have a place where I can share all my thoughts... I've always wanted somewhere, where I can express freely who I am and things that I enjoy, and now thanks to all of you I am! This blog won’t solely be self-help tips (one of the main reasons I created this blog), I also want it to be a place where we can get to know each other better… So, I’ll be sharing things such as; fashion, travel, photography and more! Please be aware that I am new to blogging, so I’m still getting used to it. Also, the blog theme will most likely change as I learn how to use Blogger. If you have any specific topics you’d like me to talk about, send me a message! (How to: fill in your name, email and message under the tab “Message Me”). Don’t forget to subscribe to the blog to get notified when I post next &  leave a comment letting me know what you think! (Next post will be in a few hours because I'm so exc
