MY WORKING FROM HOME PLAYLISTS!

Friday 31 July 2020

Hello everyone! I'm back and raring to go with my blog posts and updating this more frequently! I've got a ton of ideas, thanks to becc4, so I'm here for the next several weeks. 

This week it's all about my fave thing: MUSIC. Whilst working from home, I find I need a distraction, whilst working at my desk. Apart from lately, I've relied on my Alexa to play my Spotify playlists. I've been also watching good old Netflix shows, for example Friends. Absolutely OBSESSED with that show!! However, music is my second true love (the first obviously being books), so here are a few playlists I've been loving!



1. Summer 2020




This was a playlist that I took inspiration from another pre-made Spotify playlist. The ones that change practically every week. I really enjoyed the music from this particular shuffle of songs put together, that I decided to create this Summer playlist. It has a mixture of my faves; i.e. Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Jonas Brothers, etc. And as well, it has a few artists I haven't heard of, but enjoy the song nonetheless. So feel free to give it a gander, and lemme know what you think! ðŸ˜„


2. I Love You's Radio



This started from the Hailee Steinfield song: I Love You (surprise, surprise), and I wanted to hear similar songs that would be put together in a playlist. This radio pretty much changes every time you listen to it - and as you can see on this one, it doesn't even start with Hailee's, which is a bit awks. (It does on Spotify, so no idea what this playlist is doing like!) And I'm aware with my love of One Direction and a certain blonde-that's-now-turned-back-to-his-natural-brunette-hair-colour, is her ex-boyfriend, but it's the only exemption to the rule! I love this song, and I honestly think it's the only one of her songs I like, but yeah. I enjoy the changes to the Radio songs every time I listen to it! ðŸ¤—


3. One Direction - Official Playlist



Thanks to the 10 year anniversary on July 23rd, ya looking at a girl who happily dived back into the fandom! Were we clowned? Yes. Am I surprised? No.  (I'm going to do a post uploading on Sunday of my recent vlogs, as yes - I also vlogged it too!!!) I wasn't aware there was this playlist, because I always listen to This is One Direction. So can confirm, I prefer this one to the one Spotify created. No shade. Just honesty here. This playlist really brought me back to my fangirl days and yes, I've officially been roped back in. #NoRegrets! ðŸ¥°

I was going to write more, but after looking through my most recent playlists, these three are the ones on heavy rotation! The other stuff I listen to whilst working from home, are just albums in general; (and yes, they all involve members of One Direction!)

Let me know in the comments what music you've been listening to, whilst working from home. And if you made it this far, comment below, "accio comment." Bye! ðŸ’•

Workouts at home!

Wednesday 29 July 2020

No comments
Hello everyone! Back and raring to go - thanks to becc4, I have a bunch of blog posts ideas, to keep my blog up and running (and returning) with content that I can post, whilst we're still kinda in lockdown. 

So this one is all about the workouts I've been doing during the time we've been in lockdown, and hopefully, can help you all out if you're needing new ideas. So I'm going to do different subheadings for the ones I've genuinely been loving and you'll have to let me know what you think of these accounts! (They're all YouTube based, if this helps!)


1. THE BODY COACH

I did some of his HIIT, abs and cardio workouts and I really enjoyed them. Unlike being at the gym (well mine, that is), it's nice to exercise alongside with you in the time he's telling you to workout. I find it a lot more motivating as well.



2. CARLY ROWENA

I adore this woman. And her workouts as well. She was a YouTuber I had my eye on back in like 2013, when I was really interested in the UK YouTuber gang: aka. Zoe Sugg, Alfie Deyes, Joe Sugg, Tanya Burr, etc. And I started getting into The Lean Machines online, as well as Carly, as she's married to Leon. Her workouts are quick and effective, and I really enjoy them.





3. CHLOE TING

Oh my god, this is the most recent fitness vlogger I've used and I love her. She's tough, she's honest and she has amazing FREE programs. I started the 2 weeks shred challenge, and found it very effective. I didn't complete it or film my results, because I've missed running and got back to that. So that's my main focus, at the minute.



These are some YouTubers that I've enjoyed during lockdown, however if you're interested in checking them out - please do! If you've made it this far, please comment "Accio comment."

Do Not Disturb: I'm writing a book! || 01

Monday 20 July 2020

No comments
Hi guys, so it's been a little while since I've posted on here. But I'm back getting organised and bringing some content on here. When I first started making thus blog, I was writing a book called Control Over Me. It's the first book I've ever written, and even though I no longer read that genre, I'm still really proud of it. My blog posts back then, consisted on updates about the book, because I was so focused and excited about it.



I wanted to bring that raw kind of content back. I want to talk about my book, without giving everything away! Because something about this book, makes me feel different. I'm excited again and I want everyone to read it as I write it! (Obviously I'm not going to do that!) But I am going to post weekly updates on the progress, etc. So one post weekly, will be book related, and the other will be something else.

I'm doing this book a bit differently, as I've decided to write everything in an A6 book I bought online from Paperchase.




I usually use another book, but it felt too impersonal to use that one, so I'm using this much smaller book. It's good, because I can put it in my handbag, and take it with me everywhere. Which I love! Obviously we're still in lockdown, so I'm not really going anywhere. But you get the idea!

Inside it; I have the full story idea, all the character profiles, and then we have the chapters. I'm still only on Chapter 1, however I'm really getting into it, and I'm excited to progress. Before receiving the book, I actually sent the original chapter to my best friend Phoebe. She's going to edit the chapter and send it back. However, I changed the idea of the first chapter, which means that the chapter she's reading, will be a chapter later on in the book.

This is it for my writing blog number one. If you made it to the end, comment saying, "Accio Comment." Bye!
