Hello Everyone

Forgiveness. An important thing that all humans need for both themselves and for others also. It not only helps you to move forward with life, but it also helps you to dissolve the past, making the now that little bit more enjoyable. We all have days where we find ourselves doing nothing other than ruminating or focusing endlessly on the 'mistakes' that we made in the past, however, I, below, have provided myself and those of you who are reading with a shortlist of things that you can take into consideration when you find yourself stuck in one place and being unable to forgive yourself.



1. Realise that there's nothing that you can change about the situation.
This tip is as simple as it seems. In the past year, I've realised that I have encountered many challenges - and still am - but I have simultaneously realised that there is not much that I can change about those same challenges. There are some situations that are entirely out of my control, and assuming that I can control 100% of the outcome is nothing but a misjudgement on my end. Therefore, I am better off understanding that I can somewhat plan for the worst, but there still needs to be some sense of spontaneity and wonder within each situation. Take everything within your stride, and similar to Bruce Lee's famous quote, "Be like water my friend."




2. Find something else to focus on.
By actively choosing to find something else to spend your time and energy on, you'll find that you have no only taken a deep dive into something new and better, but you would have made way for time to do it's thing. Heal. I find that you will never be able to forgive yourself if you spend 100% of your time ruminating, and endlessly reliving the past and analysing the places, stages and sentences where you made a 'mistake'.

One day you'll wake up and find that you have changed and no longer feel the same. Therefore, I'm a huge believer in giving 'time' a chance and letting her take the wheel.




3. Understand that no one is perfect.
Despite the things that we display on social media, no one is perfect nor will they ever be. In other words, we all need to cut ourselves some slack and remember that some of those same 'mistakes' that we have made in the past have in fact made us the strange, perfectly imperfect and wonderful beings that we are today. Had it not been for those 'awkward' moments, or questionable actions and scenarios we would not have learned our lesson, or have been able to take some of the remarkable teachings with us into the now and the future.

So, always keep the present and in the back of your mind and remember that there are no 'mistakes', only lessons - that don't bear repeating - and small droplets of guidance that we can take with us into our daily lives, and potentially help others so that they too can learn from your lessons.


We all need to cut ourselves some slack and give ourselves some breathing room and time to make decisions. There is no cookie cutter shape or one size fits all when it comes to life and daily living. We all look, think, act, speak and behave differently, therefore, there is no perfect way to live your life. We are all experiencing our own lives for the first time. So, in other words, there is no way that we can live it wrong. Keep pushing forwards, and remember, forgive yourself.

Happy New Year

Tambaguchi, Kyoto, Japan ●February 2019

Welcome. Welcome to the wonderful, bright and prosperous 2020. A year that I am forecasting to have much more excitement, many more learning moments and countless times of uncontrollable laughter. In other words, I welcome 2020 with open - and positive - arms.

To kick things off, I'm beginning the new year with a bang already. During the month of February, I am due to leave the UK and move to South Korea. Exciting right?! While I can both speak and read some Korean, I feel as though I need to do more research on the specific area that I will be moving to and the difference in culture. Moving from a country like England where everyone - myself included - has a 'Me' attitude, to a country that not only has a vertical hierarchy but focuses heavily on teamwork will prove to be a little bit hard. Therefore, I believe that I need a shift in mindset as well as my preparation techniques.

With that said, I believe that a post about remaining in and leaving comfort zones was definitely needed. Something that I can read again when I find myself feeling stagnant and not moving, and also something for my readers to read whenever they are feeling the same and lacking in the motivation field.

First things first, in my opinion, comfort zones are the perfect bubble that we have set up shop in. The place where we seek refuge when the world is seemingly against us. The place where from the moment we wake up, we are able to forecast the events that are due to take place in their entirety. Despite this sounding like an ideal place to reside, I personally cannot think of anything more terrifying. I find that by actively choosing to remain in such a place, there is no room for growth. No room for anything outside of the normal to occur. No room for you to potentially achieve any dream that you had in mind or saw yourself writing down during the changeover of the new year. 

So below I have provided myself and all of those who read this with a small list of 3 benefits of leaving your comfort zone. 

1. You're a step closer to achieving your dream(s)

Achieving your dreams is all that anyone should be striving to do in life. I'm a firm believer in, if you're not, then you should be actively trying to change your living situation so that you are, or you should at least reevaluate what it is that you truly want.

However, if you're anything like me, the idea of success is something that always frightened me. Not because I was scared to fail. But, purely because I was actually scared to succeed. However, during the challenging yet highly rewarding year of 2019, I realised that if you do come into something good, advantageous situations or in fact success, then it was truly well deserved and not a stroke of luck. 

In fact, such scenarios, regardless of however big or small they are, are a glimpse into the different types of things that you can achieve if you just trust both yourself and the current situation to provide you with all that is needed to succeed.

2. You meet some incredible people on the way out

One of the things that people sometimes fail to mention are the amazing souls and kind hearts that you come into contact with once you leave your comfort zone. More often than not I have found myself meeting and having conversations with people who share a similar mindset to myself, have similar dreams, wants and ambitions or are actually a (or five) stage ahead of myself. Meaning they are the very people that I can learn from, share stories with and actively work together with by helping the other to achieve their dream.

On the opposite side of the fence, I find that if you choose to stay in your comfort zone - despite being surrounded by loved ones - there are not many chances for you to come into contact with those who have been on life-changing journeys and have an amazing story to tell. There are also little chances to meet people who have come into contact with the worst possible scenario but have still managed to find the good within.

Step outside of your comfort zone and see what happens.

3. You won't want to stop

Humans can be very greedy creatures. Meaning that once they come into contact with something that they like, they will find any way to keep it coming. The same can be applied to success, great experiences and meeting great people. Think about it. When we come back from an amazing holiday, we develop those dreaded holiday blues, and find ourselves wanting to return rather than to be fully present within the current moment. Why not choose to do the same when leaving your comfort zone? Find an amazing dream, ambition and want that you would prefer to attach yourself to, and stop at nothing to get yourself there. And surely enough, day by day you will see yourself slowly chip away at your dream, achieving more and being more. In other words, that sense of achievement and completion that you will receive from striving towards your dream, you won't want to stop. Success will be just around the corner.

So in all, leaving your comfort zone starts with the simple act of putting your shoes on and walking out of the door, even if your mind is telling you to stay put.

Hello Everyone

There are many days when we may feel under the weather, targetted or as though there is a conspiracy theory against us, however, I've realised in recent months that despite the words that we tell ourselves in our heads, we have a lot more going for us than we care to realise. While expressing gratitude has definitely been on the rise in terms of seeing it plastered everywhere on social media, there is no reason why it should be deemed any less unworthy. Yes, it may seem weird to make a list of or verbally expel certain aspects of your life, but I believe that it is one of the many ways that we can exude positivity, optimism and pure happiness within our lives. 

Daily, I find myself creating an altered take on the 'To-do list', by writing down a checklist of 'Things I need to do today', followed by a least three 'Things I'm Grateful For'. Focusing more closely on the 'Things I'm Grateful For', I make sure that I give myself at least 5 minutes to sit down and truly think about what I'm grateful for. This can be anywhere from specific people to objects. Hey, it can even be experiences or even something as simple as running water. So below I list the different avenues and categories that I take into consideration when producing my gratitude list.

1. People

First in the list, is showing gratitude towards people. This can be by thanking them for being in your life, appreciating and being grateful for their actions towards you or a certain situation, this can also be because of how they make you feel. Anything will suffice, but truly think about what you catch yourself thinking or saying whenever you're in their presence. That will more than likely be what you're grateful for.

2. Objects

Another way in which I show gratitude is towards the objects that I either use daily or the ones that make my life that little bit easier. I find myself frequently showing gratitude towards my favourite mug and drink for easing me into each and every morning and making rising just that little bit more comfortable. I believe that expressing gratitude towards objects is a relatively easy way to express gratitude. However, I believe it definitely means a lot more when you have fewer items that are in higher rotation, compared with having many items that you seldom use.

3. Experiences

Finally, we have experiences. Experiences are the places that we've been to, things that we've been through or scenarios that we've lived through that have made exactly who we are. This can be travelling to another country, attending a lecture, or having a deep conversation with best friends, family or acquaintances. I'm also a strong believer in anything that is good is good, and anything that is bad is good. Meaning, regardless of the situation or outcome, there is always something we can positively learn. And there is an endless number of things that we can write down for this category.

Another variation of compiling a list of things that you're grateful for is by going on a gratitude walk. Gratitude Walks consist of being outdoors and creating a stream of things that we are grateful for. While this method of showing gratitude can be similar to a stream of consciousness, I find that it does truly help. It helps to stop the mind from thinking about random and irrelevant things, and instead focus on the truly important.

I hope you all enjoy reading my tips on finding things to be grateful for and expressing gratitude in general. Thanks once again for stopping by~

Hello Everyone

In recent days, weeks and months, I've found myself looking at life with a completely new outlook. I've not only simplified my life in terms of clothing, belongings but also in terms of the things that I let swamp my mind and plague my thoughts. So, today I wanted to bring to you something extremely simple. The simple ways that I've been able to shift my mind and manage the different things that life has thrown my way. So, without the need to make such a simple post longer, please find below the list of 10 things that I've kept at the forefront of my mind and found to encourage me to not take everything so personally. Enjoy!

1. There is always a reason for everything.

2. Actions speak louder than words.

3. Remember that at the end of the day, you are always alone.

4. People usually only contact you when they want/need something from you.

5. Everything can be achieved if you think of it. Let it manifest and begin taking the steps necessary to achieve and exceed.

6. Everything is temporary.

7. You are only as good as the people you surround yourself with.

8. Always keep your best interests in mind.

9. Remember that happiness is always from within. You should never rely on anyone to make you happy.

10. Never be angry with another person simply because they do not act in the way you expected them to. That is your fault for putting expectations on them.

I hope you enjoyed reading, and I hope that at least one of these tips stays with you. Even if it is only for today.

Hello Everyone

August has finally begun, which means more planning is in store. I like to make mini lists of the things that I'd like to have complete by the end of the month, sure it is definitely to follow through and complete them all, but as long as you're able to tick some off, then it's not all for nothing right?

My mini forecast for August is that I plan to focus on more self-growth and getting some things lined up for my self when I start uni again at the end of next month. Seeing as I'm heading into my final year, I'd like to get myself organised, as this'll be one of my most difficult years yet! Wish me luck :3

Hello Everyone

So it's official! I've finished my second year at university, which means that its time for summer (my last one ever), and the dissertation thoughts begin pouring in, but let's not think about that. There have been many lessons over the year, and I believe that they've helped change me into the person that I am today (hopefully for the better). 

I wanted to create a mini list that hopefully helps people who are either stuck and believe that they need to have everything figured out, or just the people who have let stress consume them and ...... So below are 5 things that I have learned over the year. I hope that it helps.

1.  Time Management

What would a list tailored to university be without mentioning time management at least once? Many people have large goals and dreams in life, and without time management we wouldn't really know where to begin or be finished by. And by having an end date/goal in mind helps us to constantly strive for better and not accept anything lower than that.

2. If You Believe It, It'll Happen

Over the years, and not even just at uni, there have been many people along the way who have tried to discourage me or tell me that my goal(s) aren't achievable. But the main thing that I've realised is that the only person whose opinion matters is yours. Many people won't stand with you when you talk about where you wish to be, and that's perfectly ok. Either surround yourself with people who will give you the love and support that you need. Or go it alone.

3. Solitude

I mention this on every list that I create because I still believe that it is one of the most important activities that we need to come into contact with. If we cannot build up our courage, beliefs, goals by ourselves then how can we expect the ones who we love to help us? Having the time to reflect on mindfulness is what makes us productive.

4. Money Management

Having such large dreams and goals in life come at a large price. They're not only time consuming, but they're also money consuming, so by having a good hold of your finances will help you put your goals into perspective. Now, even though I'm saying this, I know that my skills in the money department could be better, but I'm still willing to try and figure it out. 

5. Lean on the People Around You

Coming from the student point of view, make sure to use your lecturers as a supporting leg as they have all been in the same place as you. They also know both what it is like to be emotionally, physically and mentally challenged, and they know what is needed to become a better person. Coming from a normal point of view, be sure to use the people around you for support, as you can learn from other people's mistakes and you can also receive some much-needed help from the ones who love you.

I truly hope that this list was able to help, and I know that come my final year at university, I will need to be revisiting haha.

Hello Everyone

Summer is finally underway in England, and one of my favourite trends recently had been turning suits from formal to casual wear with either a pair of trainers or mules, and accompanied with your best pair of statement earrings. So I decided to compile a list of my favourite types of suits that would definitely make you the best-dressed person around.

1.  STRIPED SUIT


2. MONOCHROME SUIT



3.  TEXTURED SUIT

Hello Everyone

Happy June!! We've finally reached the half-way point of the year, but its all happened sooo quick. It felt like only last week, we were celebrating the New Years and creating New Year's Resolutions. One of the things that I like doing and getting out of the way is moodboarding, creating plans and finding a way to somewhat control the uncontrollable future. Above is my moodboard for June and to me it feels like a month of thrifting, coffee shop crawls, better self-care, and more posts on the blog! I'm excited! Are you?!

Hello Everyone

So its official, we're almost half-way through 2018 and it kind of makes you stop and think about what you may or may not have completed on your initial New Year's Resolutions list. I definitely take this month to stop and think about all of the things that I had originally set out to complete. Not to make myself feel bad about the things that I haven't done, but more about reflecting and making sure that I'm on the correct path towards my goal(s).

Despite April being known as 'April Showers' here in the UK, I'm not going to let the rain stop me from getting travelling, blogging, working or even relaxing. No. I'm going to continue to do what I do best, which is be me. So here's to another month of performing our best and doing what needs to be done (just with a little of rain along the way).

CASPA - The End of The World

Hello Everyone

So as not many of you may know, but I recently turned 20 last month, and I must say... It's very weird not being able to say '~teen' as an answer whenever someone asks me for my age. But its also worrying because according to society, in the next 10 years, I'm supposed to have my life planned out, get the job for life, worry about finances, all whilst thinking about creating and maintaining a family. Let's just say, the only thing on that list I can say yes to is the job aspect, and even that is worrying to say. 

I've seen many a post when people list off the things that they wish they'd known before hitting a specific age milestone, and I've always wanted to be apart of that crowd (not that I'm being a sheep or anything). I just want to provide anyone younger than me with the knowledge that I have gathered over the years, and for anyone older than me just to receive a reminder that everything is ok!

My 5 things that turning 20 has taught me:

1. Me-time is not selfish-time

By this alone, I mean that taking the time out to focus on yourself and make sure that you're feeling happy and aren't in the middle of trying to make everyone else happy. No. Instead, it's 100% ok to take some time out to yourself and be your own motivational speaker in order to keep yourself going.

2. Leave the hate behind

There is no better place for hatred than in the past as it does nothing for you or anyone. All it is good for is hindering you and holding you back, rather than letting you get to wherever it is that you need/want to go. Rather than disliking or hating on people that have nothing to do with you, instead transfer that energy into something better and focus on being heavily inspired and striving to do and achieve better.

3. Clean up

Yes. I literally mean clean up after yourself. Similar to the lesson above, cleaning up after yourself is the best way to leave the past in the past and focus on what you need to achieve in the present in order to be happier in the future. By cleaning up any mess that you may have created, it leaves you with a perfectly clear workspace, and you know what they say. 'Clear Workspace = Clear Mind'. Well, I don't actually know who says that; you but catch my drift.

4. Don't take it personally

Every person whether they like it or not has an opinion, but some more than others feel that it is necessary to give to others, even when it is not asked for/needed. Sometimes these opinions aren't in the slightest bit helpful and may, unfortunately, bring us down. All I can say to the opinions, in particular, is to not take them personally. Everyone's experience here on Earth is different, so what better way to spend that time other than focusing on yourself (in the least selfish way possible) and ensuring that your time here is the best amount of time possible.

5. Everything is temporary

When I first heard these words, I literally had to stop for around 5 minutes to just take it in, and realise how big these 3 little words really are. There are periods of time when things are starting to look really shit and we feel as though they'll last forever when in reality it is far from the truth. The current task you're stuck with at work, your feelings post break-up with your SO, your unhappiness. They will all pass! I guarantee it, so in the meantime, all we can do is ride out the pain, because the future holds something of better value. All you need to do is go out there and get it.

And there we have it. All the little things that I've learned over the years that actually add up to be quite significant!

Hello Everyone!

With 2017 over and done with and having 2018 already underway, there is no time like the present when it comes to listing the things that I had the advantage of learning during last year, be it negative or positive. There were as many highs as there were lows during 2017, however I will not let that stop me from enjoying every moment of 2018!

5 Things 2017 Taught Me:

1.  Focusing on yourself isn't selfish, its a beautiful sign of self-love! There is nothing better than knowing the perfect time to place yourself first and taking your own care and health, be it mental health, or physical or emotional health. This year alone, I had feelings for someone for the longest time, but I let this cloud my judgement and I ended up neglecting myself in the process. Being at the end of the spectrum now,  it's painfully obvious to know that letting this happen wasn't the correct thing to do. So towards the end of the year, I began focusing more on myself, and I intend to carry on through this year too!

2. There is no time like the present when it comes to spending moments with the people that you love the most and hold closest to your heart. There are many times when we are feeling sorry for ourselves and want to hide away and shut down. And don't get me wrong, sometimes it's necessary for us to do so, in order to come out stronger and find the momentum to carry on. But with being an introvert myself, there are times when always being with people and do this and doing that is too overwhelming and I need to just sit down and catch my breath. However, I see 2018 as the year of being out comfort zones and going the extra mile to see improvements.

3. Planning is everything. There are many times when we need to throw the books away and just get lost in the moment as in times of spontaneity, some of the most incredible things happen to us. However, sometimes when we expect so much from ourselves and from the year, we need to have a loose plan in mind in order to keep us on track so we know we are hitting our goals. 

4. Save. Save. Save. We all plan to go to place A, B, C all the way through to Z, but simultaneously we complain about having no money and we 'cannot go'/ 'cannot do it'. This may have been my one-liner for 2017, but it definitely became a one-liner that I grew tired of saying over and over again. So this year, I plan to try my best when it comes to saving money, so I am able to do so many larger and better things in the future, rather than just repeating 'I have no money'.

5. Believe. Believe that you have it in you to achieve everything you want in life and more. Through the majority of my life, I've grown too accustomed to turning down compliments, self-sabotage or worse. Believe that I cannot complete something. However despite this, at university, I was able to achieve my first 'First'. Meaning I have it in me to achieve the greatest, and I'm thirsty to see what other greatness I'm able to achieve.

Happy 2018 Everyone!

Today marks the beginning of a fresh start. The chance to change anything that may have made you uncomfortable during the previous year. But its also the day to not just declare 'I want change', 'I want this...' and 'I want that'...'. No. Instead it is the day where annual forecasting and plans should be made so you're able to squeeze every last drop out of 2018 and ensure that it'll be as good as 2017, if not better!

I've spent at least an hour planning out my month, and the things that I expect from not only 2018, but also myself. And what better way to express a small portion of these aspects, than through one of my monthly moodboards?

Here's to; better and healthier eating, taking better images, planning and actually sticking to it, remaining positive and increased levels of self-love!

Hello Everyone

Planning. One of the hardest but most effective things that we can do with our time. In recent years we've all given ourselves too many tasks and too little time to complete them in. So I began to think, what better way to make the tasks seem a little bit more manageable than with a planner? (I know, it almost makes TOO much sense haha)

So first things first, I'm sure you all know about the 'Bullet Journal'? And if not, you need to! It's mainly a handwritten diary/calendar of some sort and all you need in order to create one is a ruler, a pencil, a pen and, some time. I created mine in under 1 hour. The journal is perfectly ideal for planning for the month, week and day. So below I have thought of the perfect little details that can be added to ensure you have the most productive week ahead of you. 

1. Monthly, Weekly and Daily Plan

For my bullet journal, I have a whole double page spread for the month so I am able to write down any immediate details on each day, as you would with any other calendar. For example, birthdays, due dates and bill due dates. 

2. Social Media Plan
Now, I know that some of you reading this only use social media as and when it feels right. However, there are also many of you working through social media, so I believe that having a plan for deadlines, post updates, emails responses... anything. Having everything written in one place should, in theory, make you work more efficiently and more inclined to get those posts posted!

4.  Mood Tracker
I've seen mood trackers listed in many people's bullet journals, and I must admit that I want to try it out. It's mainly for check marking your progress throughout the week and jotting down how you were feeling at the time. There are many times where we let the stress of tasks get to us, so by putting all of the emotions down on paper, we're able to document how many times we've sweated the small stuff and we should then in the future be able to handle the stress better.

5. Create Goals For The Next Week
Just as important as the current week itself. By writing down the goals that you wish to achieve for the up and coming week, you're able to remain at your best 100% of the time. Completing all of your tasks has never been easier. I write down the main goals of the week down and then divide it up even further when the following week arrives.


And there we have it. All my little tips, tricks and pieces of advice when it comes to writing a bullet journal. Please leave a comment below and tell me if you use a bullet journal too! I'd love to know whether you find them helpful or not :3

Hello Everyone!

It is official. We have entered the 'Back To School' stage, where any and every shop is advertising 'Back To School' bargains. However, they are never really bargains, and once you've finished spending some (if not all) of your money, your pockets are left sore and you're left with nothing until the next day pay. With me being a student, I definitely know this time of the year is both exciting and financially draining. So today, I have brought to you, affordable and stylish pieces that can take the strain off buying super expensive products. I also decided to offer you all mini bargains in every department all priced under £100, as we know that with being a student, things are needed both in and outside university. So scroll below and take a peek at my 'Back To School'

Recently I was inspired by a Bloglovin' post (check it out here). It gave advice on different ways to spend your time wisely when commuting, either to work, school, college or university. So, if you're not good with your time, or you just plain need a kick up the butt, then I'd definitely say read ahead.

1. Read a book

I've not always been the biggest fan of reading, however, since starting university, I've recently been reading books whilst taking the train in the mornings. I find it's the perfect way to increase your vocabulary and just distract yourself from the noise around you. It can be a self-help, a fiction or just about anything, but whatever you decide to bring a long, make the most of that alone time.

Books I've recently read are:
- Girl Boss / Sophia Amoruso
- Capture Your Style / Aimee Song
- It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be / Paul Arden.
- Paris Street Style / Isabelle Thomas & Frédérique Veysset (Currently reading)

2. Check emails
Everyone knows that staying up to date with emails is probably one of the hardest tasks any human can come into contact with, so as long as your internet connection persists, checking your emails should be a necessity. There's no better feeling other than seeing no notifications and knowing that no one is waiting for a response.

3. Plan your day/tomorrow

To do lists are the perfect example of  being organised. They give you guidance when you're either confused or overwhelmed with work, so what better time to put your day/week in order, than when you're relaxed and have nothing else to do?

4. Listen to music
Anybody who knows me, knows that music is an extension of my personality, and no advice list would be complete without mentioning it at least once. Music is perfect for getting you in the zone, taking your mind off things, or all around just making you happy. So listening to it whilst commuting is perfect for drowning out background noise. If you cannot find the perfect playlist to listen to, why not check out my most recent playlist post here or just check out my soundcloud here.

5. Watch the scenery
It might seem weird to say, but sometimes detaching yourself from technology is a great feeling. The majority of our world is surrouded around internet connection (ironic, because you're using it right now to reading this) however, not being 'connected' for at least 30 minutes, should provide you with enough solitude to get you ready for the day.

And there we have it, the 5 main things I do whilst commuting x

Millie xx

question: what do you do whilst commuting?
