vulnerability as a tool in relationships

sit with the uneasiness, the mess, the discomfort.. the humanity. the you of all you's- the one you likely don't see often because of all the identities you've taken on. sit with your raw self and make peace with your being. sing soft words of encouragement and love yourself, please darling, love yourself. when you're … Continue reading vulnerability as a tool in relationships

minimalist chic room tour

        Welcome to my space everyone! For me personally, room tours make for really fun and inspiring content. I recently changed my room up completely with the help of Pinterest and Ikea. This time around I decided to go for a beautiful minimalist scheme using traditional Scandinavian design techniques.. which are simpler … Continue reading minimalist chic room tour

_______________________________________________________ hello lovelies.. it’s been a little while since I last posted, but I’m kind of happy about that. What better indicator that I’m living my best “real” life than a bit of online inactivity? seriously though, something to think about. do you think you’d feel like spending as much time online if you had better things to do? chances are you wouldn’t.. so that begs the question- why do we spend time online, on social media specifically? does it feel rewarding, fulfilling, satisfying? maybe we just need less of the artificial highs and more real feel good moments 😊 anyway, bit of an update- we’ve started packing for the move and I’m just so excited. the area we’re moving to is one we frequent and it’s more pleasant than where we’re living at the moment. definitely a different lifestyle! my social life is still having a bit of a moment.. I’m seeing a lot of people who I haven’t had much time to catch up with as well as some family so that’s pretty good. other than that, I’m starting to think a little about school this year and also just chilling. nextflix is getting a bit too much of my attention 🙈 I am being somewhat productive though- my wardrobe overhaul is continuing as my style evolves and I’m turning my blogging brain back on, so you can expect a post tomorrow and from now onwards xx thanks for staying with me through that! sending love 💗 _______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________ hello my lovelies! to say I’ve had a good couple of days would honestly not even do it justice. house hunting has come to an end and I’m so grateful. never underestimate the power of a new start! I feel like this is really going to renew me. there’s another thing I’m very happy about, but I’m thinking I’ll keep that under wraps for a bit. 2019, it’s been a good run with you so far. january is proving to be very fruitful. I’m making progress towards my goals and dreams that seemed like such hard work no longer scare me. they’re clear enough for me to see. I know now, it’s more than okay. It’s good. I’m happy. also.. my social life is off the charts. I’ve seen so many friends in the last little while! 🙌🏼💗 woohoo! xx _______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________ hello lovelies! hope you’re all doing well. today was fairly busy for me, hence the slightly later post. I woke up a bit earlier than usual and went to see my grandparents in the blue mountains. they’ve got a lovely place and it’s just so fresh up there- a truly different life to the very urbanised areas I’m used to! we went to lunch and to a few boutique stores. I got a few little things- a bunch of dried lavender to go in my room and some pajamas and things from @papinellesleepwear 💗 on that note, I felt it was okay to indulge a little and spend a bit on some nice things as my shopping has become much more conscious. as a minimalist, I no longer feel the desire or drive to own many material things. that’s why I’m okay with buying high quality pieces when I do get something. although I must say.. the sales were a lifesaver 😂 what do you think, friends? I think we all have ideas of how we like to do things, or “stories” of ourselves we identify with. what’s your story and beliefs surrounding shopping and how have they changed over time? just something to think about. much love! x _______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________ hello lovelies! how are you doing? the last few days for me have been very chill. I’ve spent them focusing on my goals- refining and defining them and working each day to get a little closer to the place I envision myself at. this is mostly fitness related but also extends to health- cleaning up my diet as I seem to be mostly a junk food vegan. not very great but you’ve gotta start somewhere. balance is key, always. productivity is another thing I’ve been slacking off a slight bit on.. or maybe I should be cutting myself a little slack? 😹 nonetheless, a blog post and some diary/calendar entries are on tonight’s agenda. before I leave, I’d like to mention a few things- I’m now an ambassador for @onlinelaluna 🙌🏼 you may remember them from my stories the other week. they’re a small homemade brands with a bigger vision for the future, but they currently go about selling the cutest homemade scrunchies. I don’t know about you but I am so here for it! if you’d like a few for yourself, use my code ‘maryam’ for a 3 for ten deal. they come in lots of different patterns so there’s something to suit everyone. definite value for money! 💗 ooh.. last thing. I got my hair done! It’s a sort of ash brown colour now. I’m thinking of adding more blonde to it so as to change the tone and dimensions of the colour a bit, bit I’m going to see how I go first! according to my stylist, it’ll get lighter with washes anyway. _______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________ hello lovelies! today I want to talk to you about something a bit more personal. some of you may know about this through my blog or because you’re a close friend, but if not, here we go. I’m not going to get into much, but I wanted to encourage anyone struggling with bad body image or an eating disorder to let someone know. having had both of these for many years, I know the struggle. It’s not pretty and eventually you don’t recognise yourself anymore. there is hope though, always. the truth is that you have always held the power over your thoughts and actions, even thought it may seem like you don’t. you can heal yourself by taking small steps. everything starts with your mind and your perception of self. If it’s skewed, it can be straightened out. you will see the light and reality again! for me personally, going vegan and focusing on fit instead of skinny has really helped. for many years I had hang ups about gaining muscle even though I wanted to tone up because I knew it’d make the scale go up. now though, I just want to be happy in my body, and this year, that’s exactly what I’m going for. I hope I’ve helped someone- much love xx _______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________ hello lovelies! yes, I know- long time no post. sharing pictures with you here is quite a special thing to me so I always aim to post when I say I will, but part of growing up is realising that circumstances don’t always allow, and that’s okay too xx so, be gentle with yourselves! yes, this is a new year. you want to shine. still, wallow in the peace and the timeline of how things happen for you, and I promise you’ll be alright. for me, the last couple of days have been spent in a state of frustration. I was due to go home yesterday but our flight was delayed for hours and then cancelled because of bad weather. all the hang ups had me feeling bad about myself. yesterday though, I decided I didn’t want to feel this way.. not this year, not ever again, so I started working towards my goals. I’ve started an exercise routine, gotten really clear with how I want to progress with veganism- earthlings is SO eye opening- and best of all, I’m feeling like I really have a grip on my resolutions. I know I can go for it, achieve them. It’s waiting for me. _______________________________________________________ ps. quick shoutout to @frankiebradfordblog who made this lovely lil collage of me a while back as part of her ‘people and their tunes’ series 💗 _______________________________________________________
