Cozy Bedroom Decorations

As you may or may not already be aware, I moved into my new house, alongside my younger brother, last June. Since then, I have been accumulating decorations for my bedroom. At my parents' house, I was always decorating my room with posters and lights and made it very my own. However, my new bedroom never really felt complete, until now.

The past few days I have been decorating my room like crazy and I'm quite happy with it now. The first thing I did was hang up my Union Jack above my bed, which is a give in if you know anything about me!

Then I made my way around the my room positioning various posters I had recently acquired as well as cute paintings. In addition to those, I added a string of blue LED lights around the whole of my room to make the space feel more cozy and relaxed at night.

The only items I have yet to acquire are a new duvet (I'm currently using one that is older than I am!) and a few more pillows for on my bed. Overall, I am really happy with how my room turned out. I can't wait until the autumn and winter months where I can just cuddle up in bed with a cup of tea and a good book or movie!

Nothing special, but still meaningful.

Much Love,

10 Things I Know To Be True

The other week I watched a wonderful TED Talk from Sarah Kay (WATCH HERE). She is a brilliant spoken words poet who will have you hooked from the very beginning. In her talk she mentions how she asks her students to list 10 things they know to be true. It got me thinking and I thought I would share mine with you, explanation free. Take them as you will and I encourage you to do the same. It's a chance to step back and really think about your experiences with life.

10 Things I Know To Be True

1. The stars are comforting, not daunting.
2. Time heals MOST wounds.
3. Everyone has a story to tell, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
4. Nothing good ever happens after 2 AM.
5. Being obsessed is the way you know you still care.
6. It's the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine. 
7. The most unforgettable moments are always 'first times'.
8. Bravery, big or small, will always be rewarded.
9. The quietest people have the loudest minds.
10. If it is to be it is up to me. 

Nothing special, but still meaningful.

Much Love,
