This is the very first post that I am writing for the blog whilst in San Diego but let me be completely honest. I am actually sitting down at the airport writing this post because my Mum and I arrived a few hours early and I needed something to do. I was thinking of what kind of post I wanted to write and this topic just randomly came to mind. So, I guess that I wanted to share this specific topic with you all because let's face it there are some people who have actually never actually been on a airplane before.
A few months ago....I think I mentioned that I was taking or took ( past tense and what not ) an impromptu trip to California ( San Diego ) alone because of a family emergency. Now here is the tricky part because I, myself am not sure what happened or what triggered it. I could honestly blame it on the Iced Caramel Soy Latte that I purchased from Starbucks and drank right before boarding that triggered my panic attack or it could be the fact that I was flying alone after never flying for 10 years. This is where it gets a little tricky. I actually flew the year before with my Mum to San Diego and I was fine. So, who bloody knows. All I know is....I wasn't happy and nothing besides sleeping could help me.
This is actually one of those posts where I tell you that there are actually some amazing and kindhearted people in the world. Something that a little part of me lost faith in. Why? Because sometimes being a genuine kindhearted person can turn around and bite you in the ass. I have recently learned that the hard way. Anyways, I am not going to get into that story right now. Why? Well I feel like I am going slightly off track and I wouldn't want this post to be any longer than it actually is going to be.
Ahem. Like I was saying...I had a slight panic attack. Okay, maybe saying slight is a little under reaction. It was huge. It started at the airport before I boarded. I just felt my heart beating extremely fast like I was going to pass out. I called my Mum and she tried to calm me down which didn't work. After my first layover flight...I was panicking even more. I ended up throwing up 3 times on the flight, crying and I couldn't stop shaking. There was a very nice lady who was sitting in front of me turned around and she held my hand and helped me level my breathing. I was sitting in between 2 older gentlemen who were checking up on me throughout the flight.
I was so thankful for them and the flight attendant who made her duty to check up on me and make sure that I was comfortable. She was the real MVP to be honest. I couldn't thank her enough for the ginger ale to try and calm my stomach and my soul.
This is my third time flying to San Diego...and this time was better. I didn't panic and I was actually able to somewhat sleep ( which only means that I was placed next to a crying, kicking, head butting ). I personally think that I am ready to fly alone since I am getting used to it.
Thank you for allowing me to share this little short story with you all. There will be another blog post up today ( even though I posted this around 3 am San Diego time ). I wonder what wonderful story I will be sharing with you guys this time!

I finally booked my ticket to San Diego. There was a big debate on whether or not I was going to go again but in the end...my Mum and I ( who will be my photographer for this trip again ) decided on going.
I have been adding some inspirational quotes to some of my photos on instagram and you guys seem to be loving them as much as I am! Doesn't it just make you feel slightly better? That goes for anyone...even if you are in a great mood. It will make you feel better! Trust me.
I decided that whilst I am in San Diego...I will be posting a new a blog post a day! So, that means you guys will have a new blog post for 2 weeks along with vlogs! I am hoping to get my creative mojo back whilst I am there and well I did last time. I had so much new things to share with you guys. Hopefully this time...we will get to venture to more new and beautiful places.
Also...I am currently sitting in Compass Coffee ( which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anymore ) writing this out before the month actually ends ( today is the 31st of July ) and I couldn't be happier with myself. I definitely posted June's recap so late and I wanted to knock this one out before I head to San Diego and started bombarding you guys with photos and of course vlogs!

I think it has been awhile since I have created a wishlist post....please feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I wanted to get a head start on a slight Fall wardrobe revamp. As some of you guys know ( who follow me on instagram ) I went through a whole wardrobe purge and I don't mean the ones I normally do when I want to make room for new things. I created a slightly larger "Capsule Wardrobe" which is basically things that I can wear all year around without them going out of style.
I wanted to share some items from a few different places. From Missguided, to H&M, Urban Outfitters and I even threw in some Forever 21 for you guys! Happy shopping and see you beautiful people in California! I also added some items that I have been crushing on for my home revamp as well.
Missguided
H&M
Forever 21
Urban Outfitters
Boohoo

I have been living here for about 3 and a half years and I think it is time for a serious re-do. My main colours were white, grey and a pop colour ( I chose teal now I regret ). Right now my apartment is all over the place and I feel like it is contributing to my lack of creativity lately. I have literally been staring at the same shit ( give or take ) for awhile now and some have to go.
Some of the inspiration is from Ikea, H&M Home, Urban Outfitters and I even included some photos from Pinterest to give you guys an idea of what I was going for.
SHOP HOME ITEMS:
PINTEREST INSPO:
There is literally like a whole category of images that I saved for inspiration from pinterest. That website has EVERYTHING you need on there. From beauty, home, etc. You name it! I actually got the idea of my "capsule wardrobe " from another blogger BUT I came across examples and ideas from pinterest. Which shouldn't come as a surprise to any of you lovelies! The downfall is that my apartment is carpeted so I have to try and work around that. I wish that I could actually pull up the carpet cause I seriously hate it!
Well there you guys have it...I will bring you along when I start the revamp process. Debating on whether or not I should wait and see if I find a bigger apartment ( fingers crossed for a 2 bd one ) if not then I will settle on a 1bd with maybe a Den? Who knows!
