Life as a lifestyle blogger

Hi everyone!!

I think I can describe myself as a daydreamer, fiction lover and excitement addict. I can get excited about pretty much anything. Sometimes people call me a girly girl (I don’t like that) and a hopeless romantic (absolutely not). I think I just value simple things. Like silence and the colour white. And flowers next to my bed and old photographs and reading a book about solving a mysterious murder.

So becoming a lifestyle blogger came like second nature to me even though I’m crazy about fashion. I think that even if I clean my room I just have to leave a part of it a bit messy. I don’t know why. So whenever I’m in my room there’s a couple of people (me) talking in my head. So I’ve decided to share those conversation with you (spoiler alert: if you think I’m weird now – it’s only going to become worse).

As of late I believe that I’m on a path of self-discovery but being the eldest of 4 children there’s just never time for ‘alone time’. You just always have to think for your siblings/family. It’s really scary. And very frustrating, especially those last minute things that happen unexpectedly.

So ever since I began blogging about my life more I found that it gave me such peace. It doesn’t solve anything but it leaves my body through my fingertips and then I just set it free in the universe. I find that extremely helpful because of my ‘spider webs in my head’ personality (if that makes sense).

I don’t like sharing too much about myself but sometimes when I’m talking to someone I realize that after 20 minutes of talking non-stop, I might have overshared. That’s why I find secretive people frustrating. Especially when they don’t realize that they do that. Lately I’ve just taught myself to walk away when that happens because 5 minutes later I think I’ll end up shaking it out of them (calmest reaction).

So through my lifestyle posts I’m basically letting you into my world. Like a reality show on E! Entertainment (looOooOol). I share beauty tricks (which are basically written as if a guy is writing about beauty because I only know enough to get myself out the door without looking like Jim Carey (in The Mask) and stuff that we girls talk about like college advice, confidence and self-worth(which I’m super passionate about) and boys( but less on this topic because all the cool guys I know are my friends…and all the new ones become my friends too! Uhmmm, what’s that superpower called?

Haha. So I’ll be giving you their point of view in my posts too) and I guess current events about cool stuff (enter ideas of cool stuff here).

Lol! So if you’re also a daydreamer and online dweller I think that we’re going to be spending some quality time together! Do comment so that it becomes more interactive! 

Till next time

Jabi!

How to take a man search break

Hi everyone!!

As part of resolutions and scary birthdays where you realize that you’re not getting any younger we (girls) tend to take drastic measures to correct all the years of being single! Admit it!

Lol, but I think after a couple of months of exploring in #theyearoffindingbae we realize that it’s not easy to put your heart out there. The vulnerability. The danger. The compromises. The withdrawl.

I think that when you start changing  like letting your emotions run wild fuelled with jealousy and rage because of the hurt you feel when some of these flirtations/brief relationships don’t work out -then you must know that it’s time to take a break.

These tips will help:

1.       Cut out those people that were too toxic to be around. That made you doubt yourself or diminished your values and questioned things that were the foundation of your existence. They’ll just continue to do that until there’s nothing left. Typically when he abandons you (eventually) - you won’t know what a healthy relationship feels like.

How to do that?

·         Delete their number from your phone

·         Block any incoming calls from them

·         Have NO communication with them.

·         Don’t ‘accidently’ bump into them. Shop elsewhere.

2.       Hang around other single positive people. Not people who talk about their ex all the time. Or someone who’s prone to one night stands or any other random sexual encounters because they’ll probably want to tell you about them. Be with other girls who are about to start a new project or are being promoted or people who travel just so that you can talk about anything other that longing for someone.

3.       Decide to put your journey on hold. I feel like finding someone shouldn’t be a goal. It’s like people trying to get pregnant. I feel like if you force it – that’s when it won’t happen for you. The most amazing love story I’ve ever heard was of Michelle Phan and Dom. She was just having a cup of coffee in Paris as part of exploring the city and when Dom saw her, he knew. I mean who knew he was even going to be there? And he’s been her biggest love ever since.

4.       Continue being confident! Wear heels. Don’t leave the house without make-up. Always add to your Victoria’s Secret collection! Just because you’re not looking for him doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t look for you! Be radiant ALL the time! Beauty really starts from within and you should continue taking it to higher levels. 

      There’s no bigger compliment than: ‘SHE’S BEAUTIFUL…INSIDE AND OUT’!!

Live your life!!
