MY Happiness Project

Having recently gone through something I didn't think would happen - especially this soon - I've decided to start a little "project" of my own. I have been reading a book called 
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
and I have loved every single page so far. 

I have decided to dedicate the next couple of months of my life to - quite literally - myself. I want to find myself and see if I can deepen my understanding into my own life. I don't know exactly how I'm going to go about this but I've got a few ideas of things I want to start doing more often (eg. exercising and keeping a gratitude journal of some sort) and I now have a better insight on how I can go about making these positive changes.

Yes I'm only 21 so I know I don't need to do anything drastic. But if I let myself get extremely upset at this point then I know I'm going to end up feeling quite depressed because, being back in Finland, I'm pretty much alone again and have to go without help from my friends & family back at home. They can Skype and Whatsapp me as much as they can but it's not the same as having someone there that you can hug and have some physical contact with.

I am 240 pages into this 315 page book and I just want to do almost everything that Gretchen has said but apply and change it to benefit ME. This is an amazing guide to help me get started. It's going to be hard but I do know that I'm a bit of a pessimist so I need to become a more positive and overall happy person.

I can't wait to do this and I plan to start right now. Smiles all round :)

If anyone wants to 'embark' on this 'journey' with me then please feel free! It'll be nice to have someone doing it with you.

Don't let anything get you down guys!

Lots of love xxx

Hello 20

On the sixth of January, it was my twentieth birthday, hoorah! I'm not completely sure if I'm okay about that yet but oh well, just another year older - still none the wiser. My parents are currently in India/Dubai so I wasn't able to spend the day with them. Instead, I was woken up by my sister singing happy birthday with a cake lit with twenty candles. I was still in bed as I blew them out. She then gave me my presents. I didn't ask for anything from my family as I had got some Bose speakers and a brand new laptop for university purposes as I am living out. They costed a fortune so I didn't want to spend any more money as I was happy with them being my Christmas - Diwali - birthday present's all in one. But my mum thought ahead and had bought some bits before she went. I got a Bob Marley t-shirt, 3 Barry M gelly hi-shine nail polishes (watermelon, blood orange, blue grape) and a Jamie Oliver cookbook . I didn't have a lot planned for the rest of...

My Christmas list

So this is going to be a list of things I want for Christmas. I don't want too much but in materialistic terms, it's quite a bit. I want a new pair of Vans - Grey or White ones. I absolutely ADORE Vans and have 2 pairs (black + burgundy) already. They're amazing and go with practically everything. They're comfortable and are an absolute statement piece that I will forever wear. Red by Taylor Swift. Contrast by Conor Maynard. Unapologetic by Rihanna. Evolution of Man by Example. Impossible (single) by James Arthur. Take Me Home by One Direction. An SLR camera - most probably the Canon EOS 650D - but that will be the main family camera. I think my dad's going to purchase it as a gift to my mum but I know I'll be using it to make videos (hopefully!). A new black snood, because I can't wear the burgundy one I currently own with a red/burgundy top. It all looks too similar. A clutch type bag - something small(ish) that I can carry ar...

REVIEW: Breaking Dawn Part 2

NOTE: SPOILERS ALERT! I am a Twi-hard. I'm going to admit it from now. I absolutely LOVE Twilight. I've read all the books countless times, watched the movies God knows how many times and I am simply obsessed. The debate between Team Jacob and Team Edward for me is probably the easiest answer I have ever given. For me, it has to be.. Team Edward. No questions asked, I am 100% Team Edward! That flawless human- I mean vampire-being. Oh he's so perfect. And sweet. And caring. Oh I should stop. The people that are Team Jacob, from experience, tend to have only seen the movies. They haven't read the books. The books go into so much more detail and it's so much more romantic so if you haven't read them, I very strongly recommend that you do. (IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MOVIE, DON'T READ ON. THIS IS A MIXTURE OF SPOILERS & A REVIEW) I went to watch the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn Part 2 and it was genuinely the best film in...
