New Swimwear!

Hello!

For the past few months I've been searching relentlessly for a new pair of togs this summer. Now I think every girl understands how difficult it is buying a new pair of togs, so you can understand when I say I was having so much trouble! I looked everywhere I possibly could, yet only found the perfect pair to wear today! 

It got me thinking about how much us girls really try to pick out the perfect pair of swimmers for the summer. I mean if we're going to spend our money on them we want them to be right. For me I have a little checklist that I think is essential depending on what I was looking for and it looked  a bit like this:

- must be a bikini

-bottoms preferably have string tie sides

-yet still be able to cover my large bottom

- they can't be too busy

-keep it pretty plain in colour but not plain in style

-must must must be good quality (they do have to last me the summer)

-can't be too expensive

-and must be found before I go on holiday on Nov 19

This made my job a little tricky but i personally think 5 of those items on the checklist were essential if I was to by them. I'm not a slim girl I've definitely got some curves and that makes bikinis a task. I can't be having any skimpy cheeky bottoms or else I'll be facing the consequences of the togs making my bum look bigger (which is not needed!) and ride up into my "bum crack"(for lack of a better expression)!

These are the togs I found in the end (sorry for using the website pictures but I don't have a camera at the moment) yet I do have different colours.

(I got the black and white version)

The bikini top covers my chest so I don't feel too exposed and I don't have to worry about my top falling off in the waves because it's very study on. Luckily it doesn't flatten my boobs and it has keep the back very open and minimal which appears very flatting on my body type and seems to be in style this swim season.

(I got the black version)

The bottoms whilst a plain colour are so funky as they have those little mesh peek-a-boo holes in the front panel. I loved how they had the tie up sides yet still had a decent amount of fabric left to cover up my booty appropriately! They don't look at all saggy which can be a bit of a problem with string tie bottoms and the rise is high enough that I don't feel uncomfortable either!

Until next time! xx

Turning Over A New Leaf

Hello!

 Last night I received my QUT acceptance of appliance letter or whatever the hell it was. Now whilst that's so bloody exciting from my point of view I realise you're all probably thinking what the hell do you really think we're interested in that. Never fear though as it was a writing book and short message in said book that I wanted to bring to your attention.

The message reads:

The next chapter of your life's a blank page. What you write is up to you.....

etc,etc,etc

Isn't that cute though!?

In short it's left me a small book with completely blank pages and asks for me to fill it with whatever I wish, whether that be goals, aspirations, likes, or ideals, the list is endless. 

And whist it's cuteness is admirable it made me think that a lot of people are held back by their past. I know that it's happened to me before and I think of how my past is going to affect me and drag me down, so I tried to hide it. Luckily I've turned over that stone and have started to accept that yes I have a past but it's not baggage and my past isn't who I want to be nor is it who I am now. This book reminded me of this thought and I wanted to utilise it and take note from it. I've decided not to let my past define my future, everyday is a new page meaning no grudges are to be hold, no problems that hassled me yesterday will persist and no judgements on myself or others regarding who they used to be. 

I hope together we can all turn over a new page in our little heads and hearts.

Until next time! xx
