Hello best friends!

Thanks for sticking it out with me in this month of weirdness/no posts/what on earth is going on/has Erin fallen off the face of the earth. So I'm here now to tell you about some changes!

Back at the start of the month I sort of fell off the blogging bandwagon, got caught under the wheels for a while, and then by the time I stood up and brushed the dust off it was just a speck disappearing into the distance. But never fear, I've found myself a bicycle and am pedalling like hell to try and catch up again.

Okay, not really but you get the point. I recently sat down to try and rethink what I do with my blog, and it's lead to me making some changes.

1. New post types: I have a few new ideas for things I want to post about/of on this blog that better suit my personality and I hope you enjoy them.

2. Including new aspects of my life: This is sort of the same as 1. but I want to include things like my writing and reading on this blog. I do have a seperate poetry blog, but I feel like I'd like to share more of it with you guys too.

3. Posting on less days: I found it hard to be constantly coming up with ideas for two quality posts a week, so from now on my posts will only happen on a Sunday. This is not to say that a few sneaky posts won't pop up during the week here and there!

So that's about it! 

I'm hoping to steer this blog back the way I wanted it to go, so it's an accurate representation of me, and not just what I hope people want to see of me.

All these changes will be starting in March, so keep and eye out!

I need your opinion....

Hello everyone,

You probably haven't noticed but I have been absent from this blog for a little while now. I really do enjoy blogging so I feel bad for letting it be pushed right to the back of my list of things to do. Also, as well as simply not getting around to doing it I appear to have hit a "bloggers-block." I can't think of any new or exciting things to post about, and it's really getting me down!

I'd love if you could take two seconds to leave a comment telling me what sort of posts you like, any new posts you think I should try, or just how I could change my blog up so you enjoy it more.

Thankyou for sticking around even though there hasn't been much worth sticking around for...

January Favourites

Hello hello hello! I'm here to remind you that you've officially made it through the first month of 2014! It's not always an easy thing to do, but you've done it so go and give yourself a pat on the back!

I feel like I dived into January head-first this year, ready to make changes that inevitably come with a new year. I think I made the most of the fresh start and I'm excited to see what February will bring!

So without further ado, here are my favourites from the first month of 2014...

I've had quite a few good moments this month, so I thought I would make a list of my top 3:

1. If you've read my recent blogposts then I'm sure you can guess what this moment was. It probably wasn't a "moment" so much as an event, but it was going on my cruise! It was so amazing and relaxing (exactly what I needed). If I had to pick one specific moment from the whole cruise that was my favourite, I would have to say exploring the Isle of Pines and just seeing how magical the place looked!

2. My second favourite moment wasn't really a moment either... (maybe I need to change the name of this section...) but it was starting to sell my poetry books! It's absolutely crazy seeing photos of my work in other peoples bookshelves and it still shocks me to think that people appreciate my work enough to buy it.

3. My third favourite moment happened on the last day of January, and that was getting my helix pierced! I don't even have my ears pierced normally so this was my first every piercing! I was super nervous, but it turned out there was nothing to be nervous about, it didn't even hurt!

I'd wanted this piercing for ages but was too scared to get it before, but I figured if I didn't do it now I never would! and there's no better time to do it, seeing as my new years resolution is to say yes to more things!

My  favourite photo is this one from the cruise:

My favourite song of this month has definitely been "Stay Alive" by Jose Gonzalez the song is just so relaxing to me and it's the perfect thing to play while you're just relaxing or watching the world pass by.

I've been repeating this quote to myself a lot recently, it's a good reminder that things won't always go your way, and you need to be okay with that because your are just part of the universe, you have no control over it.

So they are all my favourites for this month! I'd love to hear some of yours.

There aren't any materialistic favourites this month (favourite outfit, most wanted etc.) because I just haven't really been in that sort of mood this month. I'm focusing more on improving myself on the inside, rather than what I'm wearing on the outside.

I can't wait to see what February will bring!
