What Feminism Means to Me:

In summery it boils down to:

Equality
Freedom
Building each other up, not knocking each other down

Equality. in that a woman or man should be able to take time off work, stay at home, look after the children, and do any job, or sport they like. Sex should NOT be a barrier.

Freedom. Both men and women should be able to vote, get to the top of a company and put their views forward without fear of being persecuted or shut down because of their sex.

I think its so important as women, to celebrate each others achievements, not feel jealous or compare ourselves, but just to enjoy another women's success and do our best to be strong independant women too.

Areas where #Feminism still needs to develop...

I personally feel out syntax and lexis is highly sexist both towards male and female why do you have to 'fight like a man' and 'cry like a girl'?

Women in top roles, according to catalyst:

'One third (33%) of global businesses had no women in senior management roles, a number which has not changed since 2011'.

Following on from Mondays Disney theme, today I thought I would share my top picks from the Cath Kidston/ Disney Peter Pan range.

The pieces can all be found here and are a complete range in price.

Which would you get and who would you buy it for? Comment Below!

As a huge Disney fan, I wanted to dedicate todays post to my top ten inspirational quotes from the Disney world. As children we are enwrapped in the stories and music of Disney, but there's so much we can learn from the films that go beyond our childhood comprehension.

It's important to remember our childhood dreams, to live in the moment and recognise whats truly important in the world.

Here are my Top 10 Disney quotes; what are yours?

Her workouts cover every fitness level, and come in all varieties. Whether you want; 4 minutes HIIT, home cardio, or a walking workout, this girl has your back.

I often look at how intensely I want to work out and go through her videos and make a playlist of those I want to complete that day, sometimes its a couple of HIIT workouts, sometimes cardio followed by toning and sometimes I just want a walking workout.

Not only are her workouts QUICK, FUN, and EFFECTIVE, they also come with positive life advise and affirmations to keep you motivated and inspired.

I have been following her workouts for well over a year now and they are honestly amazing. I haven't been paid to say a word of this, I just want to share this amazing channel and help others as much as it has helped me.

Have you seen Lucy's channel before? What are your fitness goals?

Hello Lovelies!

I cant believe its Monday again, this month is whizzing by!

Today I wanted to share something I often forget, but think is so important to remember when you are just starting out in your early twenties.

I am one of those people who wants to achieve everything straight away. Whilst it means I am incredibly hardworking and determined, it also sometimes leaves me feeling as though I am not good enough because I'm not at the top of the game.

However, how can you get to that point without being given chances, making opportunities, and learning. It is so vital to remember that no-one was born into top roles and success. We dont often see the struggles people have gone through to get to where they are.

So here's a little reminder that everyone was once a beginner. With hard work, grit determination, and a lot of learning along the way, we will all find our places and become experts in what ever fields we choose.

What are your dreams and ambitions; what would you love to become an expert in?

Shes a Disney golden girl and a role model for so many young girls today. Selena Gomez has once again sent out a strong inspirational message with her health battle against Lupus.

She posted a heartfelt message on her Instagram (14th september 2017) explaining to fans about her surgery and why she had not been more prominent during her promo over the summer. Her friend Francia Raisa. Gave her ' the ultimate gift' by sacrificing her own kidney for Selena. Selena's said 'I am incredibly blessed.'

Lupus is an auto immune disease meaning that the body begins to attack a part of itself causing inflammation. 'Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain'.

There is currently no cure for the disease and treatment includes managing periods of flare ups.

As someone who is interested in health and science, this is a particularly interesting story to me. Have you ever heard of Lupus before? Would you donate your Kidney to a friend?

Its so easy at times to feel buried by everything you have going on. Especially when times are at their most difficult and the road ahead looks bleak.

You feel trapped, unsure, and at times question if theres any point continuing.

Just remember these moments, although painful and hard at the time, are NOT the end but really just the beginning, like chapters in a book or a plant being sewn. Its the dark and difficult times that lead to the bright and beautiful moments, whether this is by realising what you are doing is making you unhappy and taking a completely new direction, or whether the stress and hardship is worth the end success of a finished product and that beautiful sense of achievement.

Whatever you may be going through, life has a funny way of swinging around and bringing about good, so just hold on and you will burst through the ground into better times.

This quote sums my point up perfectly. You have to bury a bulb in order to see growth. Its when the bulb is buried that growth and development occurs. Eventually that bulb becomes a beautiful flower; this is how we have to think about life. The dark times are hard, but they make us who we are and lead us to the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

Happy Monday Lovelies <3

September is the start of the new academic year, and its also the start of the new season. Welcome to the shops pumpkin spice lattes, cable knit cardies and Yellow?

Yes, Yellow is making a statement this season and I have picked out a few of my favourite pieces to give you an idea of how you can incorporate the colour into your style.

1. Ruth Allen Art Print
2.Mulberry Small Amberly Satchel-Add this to a monochrome outfit to add that pop of colour, or offset this piece with a bright red jumper for a bright and cheerful fall style.
3. Vanessa Hudgens is bringing out all the trends in this outfit; with her cropped burnt yellow sweater, stripped 7/8th trousers and finishing it off with a pair of wedges.
4. Emma Stone is showing off just how you can incorporate yellow in your outfit with a pop of colour in her brogues. You can make comfort fashionable!
5.Yellow shirts are scary and something the majority of us struggle to pull off. But if you can rock a burnt yellow Tee then go for it. Its the colour of the season.

What are your thoughts on yellow? Will you be rushing out to buy this trend or leaving it to the celebs?

Happy Autumn Lovelies.

Ashley Olsen, Bella and Gigi Hadid, and Kendall Jenner are at the top of the game when it comes to style. So what have they been wearing in the transition from summer to fall?

The answer?
White Boots.

These boots have been seen in fashion shows on the high-street and you can guarantee you will be seeing them entering the shops this autumn.

Where can you get yours?

Brand Outlet
Forever 21
Net a Porter
TopShop
Nasty gal
What do you make of White Boots as a trend? Will you be getting a pair for this season change, or leave this one to the celebs?

Lets talk failure, unexpected changes and plans that just dont go the way you hoped they would.

I've had personal experience of this many times and I dont think any human has ever gone through life without their plans going wrong and life taking them somewhere they weren't expecting from time to time.

As Robert Burns so aptly puts it

'The best made plans of mice and men often go awry'

Essentially it doesn't matter how carefully we plan out every detail of our lives something is bound to happen at some point to upset them and to lead you down a different course.

It is how we deal with these setbacks and changes that develops us as individuals and shapes the people we become. Its very often easy to become withdrawn and introverted when our plan go wrong, its not unusual to feel hurt,lost confused. What this quote speaks in volume is to find happiness in even the smallest areas of your life. Embrace even the aspects that may seem insignificant, because in those moments of hardship and confusion it is these seemingly insignificant moments of joy that could keep you afloat and lead you back on track.

Please if you are at a period of life where you dont know which way to turn, dont beat yourself up worrying, be gentle with yourself and just remember to enjoy being. Whether that takes the form of a how bubbly bath on a rainy autumnal day, or a moment of peace admiring the beauty of golden leaves falling from the trees, or the feeling of endorphin's as you finish a difficult workout. Find those moments in your life and remember their value. These moments are just as important as the seemingly huge life decision you may have to make because at the end of the day its all time, and your far better using it to enjoy and admire life than to sit worrying about what should or could have been.

Happy Monday Lovelies and have an incredible week enjoying the smallest moments
