I love me first

Hay girl hayyy. I hope everyone's tuesday is going well! Mine started off kinda rough because of a migraine (my body is not adapting well to this bizarre heat wave we are having) but ended with sushi which makes everything ok!

Today's prompt for Blog Everyday in July is 5 things you love about yourself! I am so glad to see this as a topic because so often we see what we love in others we forget to reflect on how amazing and special we are! I think it's so important to build up your self confidence by filling yourself with self-love, even though it's not the easiest thing. Let's begin!

1) My sense of humour

I am often told that I'm really witty and clever and I love to make people laugh. Sometimes you just know when a moment has a perfect joke and I am the person to say it. Some people sarcasm as a negative thing but I prefer to use it to my advantage to make people laugh and to break the ice if anyone is awkward.

2) Sense of style (90% of the time)

Ok so I don't ALWAYS dress to impress, but I try to when I go out. I used to dress a certain way when /i started getting attention from guys, but now I am firm believer that pants are the devil and dresses are the way to go. I couldn't even count on hand how many dresses I own, but I can tell you I own 3 pairs of jeans. Wearing dresses gives me more confidence, which means I feel better about myself and I know that I can rock what I want.

3) My boobs

Yep being conceited as hell. But I do love my boobs! They are the perfect size for me, as much as they can be an annoyance when trying on tops and dresses, it always works out. If you got it, flaunt am I right?

4) My friend skills

Meaning, that I am good friend. If you are good to me, I will be good to you, no problem. I always do whatever I can for my friends (and family!) because they are so important to me. I have very few people I can trust and that trust me and I work as hard as I can to keep it! I definitely try not to pass judgment on them and listen to them actively.

5) My thirst for knowledge

Whether it be in school or in everyday life, I am always open and looking to learn something new. New cultures, new discoveries, different outlooks and perspectives on things. I try not to cram myself in a box of what I think, instead I like to see what other people see. This has become a bigger part of my life since traveling a bit and it's definitely for the best.

So what do you like about yourself? I could tell you you're all amazing, but I hope you know that already :)

                 

These are a few of my favourite things!

Hello hello! Today I will share with you 5 of my favourite things! I'll be honest, picking just five is really hardbecause I like a lot of things. But alas, I have narrowed them down (I think..)

1. Lipstick

I have ZERO ability to refrain from buying a new lipstick when I go to a drugstore or higher end store. I will even buy the same shade but from different brands which evidently means it's a different colour (it doesn't). I have everything from Lancome to Mac to Urban Decay to Covergirl. You name it, I probably have a lipstick by that brand. But it's justified because I wear it every day right??

2. Diet Pepsi

My everything. Seriously, ask anyone who knows me and they will all tell you my favourite drink is a nice cold can of DP. When I was in France they only had coke, the struggle was very real. 

3. Wheat Beers

I only started liking beer a couple of years ago, but now I would consider myself a big fan of the stuff. However, I can't manage a pint of Guinness, it needs to be wheat beer or bust really. My faves are def Rickards White, Shocktop and one from a local brewery here call Wexford Wheat. 

4. Dresses

This isn't surprising given my blog name, but I had to mention it anyway. It's basically the same part of my brain that is addicted to lipstick. Just try and stop me from buying 7 or 8 dresses on a shopping trip to Forever21 or H&M. JUST TRY. I don't care if I have over 100 (I do...), I always want more. Again, I wear them everyday so..it's ok right?

Someone should probably call Intervention. Is that still a show??

And finally,

5. Binge watching TV shows

And not only on Netflix, oh no. I will go out and buy seasons on DVD rather than stream it, and sit in front of my TV for days on end watching the whole thing. And I feel no remorse or guilt for doing so. If I skip a night out to watch One Tree Hill, then I am probably pretty damn happy about it. 

Also, I have been singing the song from the Sound of Music all day. That'll probably keep going all night.
