Advice I Would Give To My Younger Self

Welcome back!

A couple of months ago I turned 20 which is absolutely CRAZY to me! I can't believe that my teenage years are officially over. I'm lucky enough to have 3 siblings, but they're all younger. As much as I love being the oldest and setting examples, I know I would've liked to have someone to look up to. I thought I would write this post as it's almost a way for me to reflect on things I wish I had realised sooner and it'll also give any readers younger than myself a bit of advice! Here goes...

1. 

STOP STRESSING.

Turning 16 is when adulthood officially begins. There will be so many thoughts whizzing about in your mind. You'll be thinking about getting your first job and what route you want to take seen as GCSE's are all over and done with. Just know that everything will fit into place eventually and you'll find your way!

2.

YOU'RE ALLOWED TO FEEL SCARED!

You have and will encounter scenarios that will make you feel genuinely scared. Moving schools is a big one that will always get to you, but it'll always end up working out amazingly! The things that scare you will be the things that make you. 

3.

STOP WEARING SO MUCH MAKEUP.

I completely get it, makeup is so exciting and you want to pile it on every single day but believe me, less is more! We all go through phases of feeling insecure about our skin, but a load of cheap makeup isn't going to help. Your tendency to buy shades of foundation that are 5 shades darker than your actual skin tone is not a good look by the way, but you'll learn.

4.

DRINK. MORE. WATER. 

You should be drinking at least 2 litres of water a day. (And no, soft drinks don't count!) You'll be desperate for a wee a lot of the time but your skin will be a bazillion times better as a result!

5.

HAVE FUN BUT ALWAYS BE SAVING.

Everyone loves a spending spree every now and then, but make sure you've always got money saved up for a rainy day. There is nothing worse than being desperate to do something or go somewhere when you can't afford it.

My Experience With Fiyah Jewellery

Welcome back everyone!

I have always been a person that is particularly picky when it comes to jewellery. Anyone who knows me well will know that I only every wear silver. What can I say, gold just isn't my thing.

I was recently introduced to contemporary jewellery brand Fiyah and feel as though I will never look back. I was immediately captivated by the variety of intricate designs they have on offer. Not everything they sell is to my liking but I still had an unbelievably hard time trying to choose what I wanted from their site.

I have fallen in love with their Paralines collection - so much so that I decided to go for the bangle from within it. I think one of the main reasons why I was attracted to this piece is due to its similarity with the 'T' collection by my all time favourite jewellery retailer Tiffany & Co. 

In an ideal world I would be able to purchase absolutely everything they have on offer, but I'm a student with next to no disposable income meaning that is absolutely NOT a possibility. 

Thank you Fiyah for creating pieces equally as beautiful for a fraction of the price. You simply can't argue with that ladies! Although I love their Paralines ring, I wanted to mix things up a little so selected their stunning Point ring which can be worn both normally and mid way down the finger!

The third piece that I went for is the Imperial Plume ring. I was really intrigued by this as it claimed to be adjustable which I find really convenient as it means I can wear it on any finger I wish within reason. I've had annoying experiences in the past where I've had to send rings back multiple times due to sizing issues so this for me is a dream come true. 

I'm guessing that a lot of you have probably never heard of Fiyah before, but now you have!
