HOW I TRY AND KEEP FOCUSED WITH BLOGGING
With getting into blogging I have really struggled to get my bum in gear and try and keep motivated with it. But this summer I made a decision that things had to change and I had to figure out a way in which I will be able to make the best of my blog right now and try my hardest to stay focused on posting regularly.
In March I was given an Macbook Air 13" for my 21st birthday, mainly so I can use it in University and was easy to transport. It honestly has been the best present I have received, apart from my DSLR. I was new to an Apple computer as I was always a windows person. But it didn't take much time to get used to it and the layout was pretty easy to get around. This is a very big part of my blogging, it keeps me motivated if I have something nice to work on. You can use any type of computer, But being able to take mine on trains makes things a lot easier, and I'm not dreading on transporting my laptop to make sure I get a blog post up on time.
Next has to be my planner/ diary which is from Paperchase. They has the cutest stationary in there and to me and pretty much every other girl I love pretty stationary. Im pretty sure it was around £20 which for me was perfect, I love the look of filofax's and Erin Condran planners, but they were just way to expensive for me being in college as a student. This for me is a perfect size to go in my bag and is great to lay out my scheduling I like to do for my blog. I would recommend anyone getting into blogging and wanting to keep focused on managing posts for certain dates, get a diary/planner, you will not regret it!!
What would be a blog without any good pictures? And I honestly don't know what I would do without my Nikon DSLR camera. This was another present for my 18th birthday and I have produced some great pictures with it over the years. Im still an amateur and I will definitely need to keep working on making the pictures the best that I can. But this is something that keeps me motivated and wanting to make things look better for my readers and with nice pictures brings nice posts in my opinion. I feel a lot of blogs are picture based, but look the most interesting and that is a goal for myself.
Lastly, what could I do if I didn't have my phone. I live for my phone and I do everything on it. It is the Samsung Galaxy S4, I know it's not an iPhone, but I prefer android and to be honest there isn't much difference and apart from the software that they use. All the apps are the same and those are the most important part of being in the blogging community. Social Media, it has to be one of the best tools that has been invented. You can communicate with people all over the world and are able to talk to your readers directly and for me I think it's great that I can say I have a new post just launching and they can read it instantly. And for me to be able to look at my favourite bloggers on twitter and Instagram gives me huge motivation to keep focused on my blog and expand it and keep improving my skills to make things perfect for my readers and others. So maybe one day bloggers can use me as inspiration.
Thanks for taking the time to read and look over how I try and keep focused when it comes to blogging.

CURRENT FAVES IN JUNE
I honestly can't believe it is July already, June has been a total blur, with a million and one things happening all together. SO many memories and great times to remember from years to come. But lets get on with what I have been loving this past month. ( all pictures are from my Instagram)
I have had my DSLR for a good couple of years now since it was my 18th birthday present. I love photography and love being inspired by photos and photographers. I have never thought myself any good at it to be quite honest, butI have tried to improve my skills right enough and thought it was time I looked into another lens. I have looked and looked admiring lens's since I got the camera, but I could never bring myself to put the money towards a lens when I had loads of fabric and supplies to buy from college. But I was lucky enough that my parents surprised me with a 50mm nikkor lens for my camera for getting an a in my exam and passing my HND. It will definitely come in handy when it comes to University and Blog work.
If you know me well, you will know that comfort is my thing, I love being casual every day. And with that my 2nd fave for this month has to be my new white converse, they are the prettiest things I have seen in a while. Dreading the day when the get dirty, I picked white just because it was changing out my style a little and making casual a bit more chic and summery for this year. But converse to me are a great investment cause they genuinely last forever.
I know that it was only two favourites, but I thought I would share what I have been loving this month and hopefully next month it will be a bigger post. If you want to keep up to date with everything make sure to check out my twitter and Instagram for regular pictures and tweets about my day to day life ( it's not that exciting). Follow me on bloglovin to read my posts instantly.
Thanks,
