A few weeks ago I did a 'How I edit my Instagram photos', so I thought I would share how I edit my blog photos as the processes are both completely different. The Instagram method is a lot easier and less time consuming, whereas this process has a little more difficulty to it and involves using more complex tools.

The Ultimate Guide to Bali
Why Bali?
Bali is full of life, adventure and sandy beaches. It is your perfect holiday destination as it provides a little something for everyone. As you leave the plane, you're entering a place where you can embrace endless views of rice terraces, enjoy a relaxing yoga retreat, retire to the beach and get surf lessons for very affordable prices, or wonder through some the most beautiful temples in South East Asia.

4 Important Aspects to a Blog Post
The four important aspects which I consider to be the most important of them all. Obviously we want you to produce good content, and read your opinions on products/thoughts but what is it which draws us towards us to a blog post in the first place and why we continue to read through it all? This is only what I think are the important factors and what makes me click on posts, obviously this may not be the same opinion for everyone.

Loneliness and How to Avoid it || Solo Travelling
Travelling solo does have a few negatives to it. The sense of loneliness can creep up along the way which can sometimes leave you feeling a little on the downside. Obviously you will feel lonely at some point on the journey but there are ways to avoid it as much as possible.

Needing a Change of Lifestyle
Which lifestyle you ask? Where you go our clubbing and drinking 3 nights a week, get home at 5am or later and wake up with terrible hangovers...that life and I'm over it now. The past 2 months I've been alcohol free and it feels great and I DON'T miss it. To be honest, I've been disliking alcohol for about a year now, I have to be in the right mood to get ready to go out for the night. Apart from the odd cocktail now and then (because I can't say no to a delicious cosmo), I could go on with my life without it.

What They Don't Tell You About University
This is based on my experiences and people I know. Obviously it may not always be the same for every university as they vary a lot but often the university experiences you hear about are quite similar in some aspects.

My Summer Plans
I'm taking this summer to chill out and relax. I haven't had a summer where I've been in the UK the whole time for a longgggg time, about 10 years I think, so it will be weird but quite nice not having to pack or get ready for a holiday (having said that, I wouldn't mind a holiday haha).
I said I can't wait to chill out and relax this summer but that's not exactly what my whole summer entails. Sadly, I do have a job to go back to for the rest of July, but I'm free from it the whole of August as I am planning on quitting my job as a lifeguard, after three years of working as one. This means I have August to sit back and enjoy a quiet summer before the chaos of my final year at university kicks in.

Editing my Instagram Photos
I have recently started to up my Instagram game massively and using the same effects for each image to make my feed look appealing and the best it can be. I like the effect of brightness, boldness with a strong contrast. The look I go for gives a hint of redness and an increase in brightness and a slight decrease in saturation.

10 Blog Things I'm Happy About Right Now
Being the owner of a blog which hundreds and thousands of people visit over time puts a little bit of pressure on you. You want your blog to stand out, produce quality content and, to constantly be involved in the blogging community and what's happening 24/6 over social media (which plays a big part of your blog).

Why you Should Travel Solo at Least Once in Your Life
During January and February 2017, I made the courageous decision to travel solo across South East Asia. Was I scared? Hell yeah, but I think that would be everyones initial reaction, especially when you're hopping onto the first plane to a land you've never stepped foot on before.
As South East Asia is a popular choice for travellers, youngsters in particular on their gap years, I didn't have to worry much knowing that I wouldn't be completely alone.

Thoughts on Leaving Shanghai
2 months left of living in this beautiful city. 2 FRICKIN' MONTHS! Where has this year gone, it has flown by like a rocket! I have been ready to go home for a while now, but that doesn't mean that I won't miss Shanghai. Of course I will, Shanghai is a city full of life, culture, colour and beautiful scenes. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity to live in such an amazing city and travel in such a diverse country. No doubt, I will be back Shanghai.

My Current Make-Up Favourites
I've decided to add to my blog and include beauty posts now because I do like my make up and I watch/follow sooooo many beauty bloggers/vloggers/role models etc.
What's a better way to introduce this topic than to share my current make up faves? Because I am currently living in Shanghai, I couldn't bring all my make up with me, it was a hard decision but a good one too, and now I can't wait to have access to all my other make up back home again.

Travel Bucket List 2017
Ideally I would love to travel the world and visit every country but I should be a little more realistic. These are on my current travel bucket list. Some have been part of the list for a few years now and others are recent discoveries which I instantly fell in love with over photos, videos and others sharing their personal experiences. The amount of travel instagrammers and bloggers I follow allows me to find some obscure and hidden beauties, and discover countries which have been kept quiet about and are completely underrated.
