New Year, New Me?

Now that we're in the start of 2018 I'm sure many people will be trying to stick to their new years resolutions. Did you leave cigarettes behind or was it all that chocolate you promised you would no longer eat? Whatever it was, I think the pressure of resolutions can be a bit damaging and that people should try and keep them realistic. I think for three years in a row I said I'd quit smoking and of course it never happened, instead one day in October I just thought 'this is gross I'm done' and gave up. For me the pressure of the new years resolution meant the whole thing felt really forced and resulted in me giving up on it very quickly.

So, lesson learned I thought this year I'll make a resolution that's doable and kind to myself. I've decided I need to be better with spending so am going to make a weekly budget rather than spending blindly. I know its not the most unusual resolution but I figured rather than making a vague statement about it, it made more sense to come up with a method of how to achieve it.

I guess I'm trying to say new years resolutions don't have to be all bad but some thought should go into them so there isn't this whole idea that because it's a new year it's a new you. For example one of my friends resolutions is to eat a piece of fruit a day, it's simple, healthy and realistic and if she misses a day it's not the end of the world. I think 2018 is all about being honest and kind to yourself and a healthy resolution is a great way to start that self appreciation.

The Best of Green Lanes

Green Lanes is basically my second home; my three best friends live there so I'm pretty much in the area all the time. It's one of my favorite areas in London and I think if you don't know about it it's time to get to know. Expect to find quirky bars and the best of London's Turkish restaurants in this jam packed place. I've decided to write about my two favorite bars, along with my two favorite restaurants and two of the best green spaces in lovely London.  Kick starting with my three fave bars along Green Lanes... 1) Brouhaha  You gotta laugh at the title but this small bar makes a fantastic cocktail and date spot. It's got a roof terrace which is incredible in summer, however it shuts at 8pm so get there early to enjoy the sunset and a cocktail. They also have a sushi restaurant in the back which is delicious and affordable. I think they've made a genius decision there: cocktails and sushi- what could be better?  2) Bun and Bar This p...

Why clearing out your Facebook is important

Since it's snowing I'm sure we've all had many cosy days in, but the films are running out and we've drunk our body weight in tea so what should we do now? I've taken this opportunity (also known as snow day 4.0) to clear out my Facebook by which I mean deleting a load of people. Sometimes I look at the amount of friends I have on Facebook (1024) and it's like I definitely don't have that many friends in real life. Who are these people and why are they allowed to see all my content so casually? With social media it's so easy to be exposed so I think you need to divide up your platforms and decide what the purpose of each one is. I keep Instagram public but Snapchat and Facebook are definitely more personal and private. But then is my Facebook really private with a good 700 people I probably don't even know on it? This is why clearing out Facebook occasionally is very important. I don't want people who don't know me seeing private photos a...
