*pssst...this post is a little different to usual but I thought I'd go diary-style for once and just have a chat about my day, hope you don't mind!*


Do you ever have those days where everything just goes right and it's perfect? That's the kind of day I've had today so I wanted to write about it.

So the day started at roughly 8am, when I woke up. I didn't set an alarm or anything, my body just likes to wake me up nice and early every. single. day. even when I could lie-in...Nonetheless I didn't have to be out of the house until 11:45 so this gave me plenty of time to get ready. (By get ready, I mean I spent another 2 hours in bed on Netflix and then crawled into the shower)

By 11am I was up and ready after having a cup of tea and getting a good caffeine-boost, but I was feeling a bit anxious. At 12pm I was due to go and have a job interview and trial-shift and a local cafe. I'm not really sure why I was so worried since I knew the owner's well - and was pretty skilled at the art of washing up - but you know how anxiety can be sometimes, so I was having a bit of a mini internal meltdown on the way there.

When I arrived I was a few minutes early (because I hate being late!) and I immediately wondered why I was so nervous in the first place! It was fine, everyone was lovely, and I didn't feel stressed at all. At the end of my 4 hour shift I left with £15 and the promise they'd be in touch soon because they definitely wanted me back :) All I did was serve ice cream and do so much washing up my hands wrinkled up into raisins, my ideal job!

The day then got better when I got home and after having another cup of tea and putting my feet up, we went to the beach. I've said this before, but I absolutely love going to the beach, it is so calming and instantly relaxes me. After walking along the beach, camera in hand, and completely tiring out Tilly (our dog) we ventured home,where I curled up on the sofa with a fluffy blanket and started writing this post.



So yeah, that's a little summary of my day. I know I don't usually make posts like this but I just felt like writing about my day today since I don't really find time to keep a journal anymore, but still want to remember special days. Today has been a good day, how was yours?

I go through phases, a bit like the moon. I can go for days without leaving the house and feel perfectly content with my lack of human contact. Yet, other times I just want to be out with other people. After four days without leaving the house, I decided it was probably time to move transition into my next phase and actually socialise with, you know, real people.

This morning, my family and I took a trip to a local woodland area thing (I don't know it's actual scientific name, okay?) and I took the opportunity to take some pictures and actually appreciate the wildlife.

Despite being a confessed introvert, I enjoy the outdoors. Granted, more the nature than having to actually socialise, but I like the smell of the grass, the hum of the birds, and the crack of twigs beneath my waaay too muddy converse.

The main point of this post is, whether you're an introvert like me, or an extrovert, take the time to actually appreciate the nature, because I think it's pretty freaking cool (despite the fact my converse needed a well-deserved trip in the washing machine afterwards!)

Hello everyone! As you will probably know if you've been following me or my blog for a while, I'm a self confessed bookworm! Therefore, I've read my fair share of books in my past 15 years of existence, so I thought I'd make a quick post to share with you some of my favourite books! In no particular order:
