<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">No more cheating myself of great experiences on my own, this year we're (I'm) </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">going all out. <br />Nothing's wrong with taking yourself out for a lunch/dinner date, treating yourself to a much needed spa day or manicure & even just popping out for a change of scenery to read your new book or chill out. You might even get a nice photo for the 'gram while you 're at it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br />I love coming across cute cafes/restaurants with great aesthetics. That might just be because I'm always looking for a great photo spot but also why should we eat in dull places anymore. I've vowed to take myself on more lunch dates to cute /fancy places because I can. These are two of my favourites that I came across on Instagram. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Elan Café</b> is based in Brompton Road & Park Lane, think pink rose walls & then some more pink with a very girly yet classy vibe. This is by far the cutest café I've ever seen and I can't wait to see it in person. Honestly have you seen anything more picturesque, I'll probably end up filling my camera roll whilst there! Cakes is something they are not short of, believe me! If you're looking for breakfast/cake & coffee head to Brompton Road, whereas Park Lane seems to be better for hot food and lunch with a cake to sum it up, if you must! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Clerkenwell Grind</b>. This place pops up on my feed 24/7. This group of coffee shops/restaurants are placed all around London so you've probably come across or passed one of their locations at some point. This particular one however is the one I want to visit. The décor gives me strong 50s vibes, somewhere Sandy & The Pink Ladies would of spent their time in the modern day. Velvet seating, the neon light and a mix of marble is what I'm here for! They have a great selection of food on their menu at their restaurants and a coffee and cocktail menu perfect for their cafés/bars. This location actually has a bar downstairs to add the cherry on top. They also have an amazing Instagram feed if I do say so myself, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/grind/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">here</span></a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Who does not like to be pampered...I'll wait! Another thing I want to pay attention to whilst self caring is treating not only myself but my body too. I'm talking spa days, manis + pedis (although my feet are ticklish so not too many of those), taking more care of my hair and anything else that makes me feel & look amazing. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Spa Days</b>. Are. A. Must. Honestly until you've actually spent a few hours just carelessly lying on a lounger by the pool, popping into the Jacuzzi, having a massage/facial you won't know what you've been missing out on. <b>M By Montcalm</b> is the only spa I've ever been to but obviously there are 100s in the world you can choose from. Last year I came across a great deal on Wowcher (don't sleep on it) it came with a facial & access to the spa facilities incl. sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, pool and some light refreshments too. I highly recommend checking sites like Wowcher, Groupon, Treatwell if you want to go on a spa day. Let me tell you this, you'll feel so refreshed after you'll make it a part of your lifestyle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Wah Nails SOHO.</b> Girls. Now I know everybody has their favourite nail shop but this one here is something different. I've been following WAH for some time now and they have grown so much as a brand/company. Owned by the lovely Sharmadean Reid, this salon isn't just about beauty it's like the GIRL POWER hub of all things beauty. From nails to brows to hair this place has it all for you. They even are the first ever to have a virtual reality nail app. I attended a talk there last year and it really touched me how much they care about empowering women and being inclusive of everyone. I feel like if anything this is such a nice place to go and meet some cool girls or take your best girl mate and just hang out over getting your nails done.

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "courier new";">So the summer body didn't make the cut for the last 5 or more years but that's fine, pending has no time limit. This year I made a pact with myself to finally treat my body well and help it keep in shape because Lord knows eating badly will not. I was, still am, one of those people who hate the idea of gyms. I'm sure there are many people paying extortionate prices and they turn up once a month. So I decided to look into ways to work out in a more fun way preferably with music involved and it actually exists!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "courier new";"><b>Spinning.</b> Did anyone else see that video that went viral of the spin instructor who was dancing around the studio and the class was practically doing dance moves on their bikes to great music. After that I knew I had to join a spin class but one that provided me with good music along the way. Well these things do exist and they are called <b><a href="https://www.boomcycle.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">BoomCycle</span></a><span style="color: black;"> </span></b><span style="color: black;">& </span><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/psyclelondon/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Psycle London</span></a>.</b> The photo above is from Psycle Shoreditch, I love that place so much but I suffered a hip injury last year which meant I had to give it up otherwise I'd stil be there spinning my life away! Expect a bit of Solange, Kendrick Lamar, house music, rnb & more. Every instructor has their own playlist style. Boom Cycle is perfect if you are a lover of themed rides, I went to a Old School Garage music themed ride and had such an amazing time it felt like I was in a rave! You actually sweat so much & I lost quite a bit of weight from it too! Highly recommend it as a fitness class to everyone that asks me honestly you can't go wrong and if anything it's worth the vibe.</span><br />

I thought you either did one or the other but apparently not. <b><a href="https://atyourbeat.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">AYB</span></a> </b>are the game changers when it comes to dance & fitness, as well as their weekly class timetable filled with dance classes from BashmentBeat to StrutBeat for all levels they also do fitness focused classes which mix dance moves in to make it more fun. I was lucky enough to go to one of their first classes (BarreBeat) at their new pop up at White Space, literally a stone throw from Leicester Square station, which was a Barre class (moves inspired by Ballet using a bar) with some dance moves to hip hop/rnb/pop music thrown in and added ankle weights to increase the resistance. I had such a good time I think I'll be adding a class to my week here and there. Other classes include BoxBeat, JazzBeat & they also have a FitBeat class which is a full on dance HIIT workout.

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Two months back I was living my best life! In the most beautiful resort set by the ocean in Side/Antalya in Turkey. <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=5986&awinaffid=522087&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.co.uk%2FHotel_Review-g297967-d5484926-Reviews-Arcanus_Side_Resort-Manavgat_Turkish_Mediterranean_Coast.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">Arcanus Side Resort</span></a>, to be exact. Words can not really describe the views my eyes were blessed with, the food my stomach was filled with and the feeling I felt just to be on a beach holiday for the first time in many many years. This trip was one of the most memorable and best experiences of my life accompanied by my beautiful friend Cheyenne, we truly cannot express how much fun we had!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">The first half of the trip was honestly spent relaxing. It's crazy how you can wake up so early on holiday ready to do everything but at home I can barely get up to my alarm for work. Such is life. Our days started with an amazing open buffet breakfast of endless pastry & bread choices, fresh fruits and salad options as well as multiple other hot food/savoury choices e.g. pancakes, sausages, chips, beans, eggs etc.. We were honestly spoilt for choice, so much that we did cheekily go up for a second plate after each meal. You know, just to "test" everythings potential of course! What was amazing is that despite being Vegan Cheyenne was also able to enjoy the food and had multiple options. Relaxing by the pool & on the beach really made me feel at peace. It felt so great to just have no commitments and be able to do nothing for a moment. The hotel had its own cocktail list, the best one on there however was a non-alcoholic fruit juice mix called 'Heidi' we definitely </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">downed enough of those. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Our room was a standard twin room that could fit up to 4 people in it as we also had a bunk bed in there but was nonetheless perfect for our stay. We opted for the garden view as opposed to sea view which we were so happy about as when we arrived we were met with the most beautiful silence on our balcony, the most quiet I have ever experienced in my life! Housekeeping was very on their job, we had the sweetest woman who came to clean our room everyday leaving designs on our beds using our blankets, renewing our towels & toiletries & just making our rooms a great haven to return to in the afternoon. The staff at the hotel were super friendly and welcoming to us, we were two of few non-European people in the resort who spoke English as their first language.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Activity wise we managed to fit a few things in. Parasailing. Scary to think about but one of the most peaceful experiences to fly over the ocean and see it from a birds eye perspective. I'm so glad that I did it despite me being close to nearly crying at the thought of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> The day before last we also decided to go on a River boat tour which included a trip to the bazaar and Manvagat waterfalls. Honestly this was an experience in itself. To say that the ocean is beautiful is a true understatement. I had never seen water so blue, it looked like it had been coloured in! We sailed along where the river met the ocean in a huge wooden river boat, embraced the views, tasted fresh pomegranate juice on the beach, ate lunch aboard and then got off to go and see the waterfalls. Now, you know how in movies & programmes people are always falling off waterfalls or hanging on for dear life to escape their death. It's honestly so dramatized. Not all waterfalls are like that, unless you're at Niagra Falls then yes they are definitely like that lool, but this one was SO BEAUTIFUL! Omg! The water even separated into two colours as you will see in the photos and it wasn't scary at all. It was almost somewhat more attractive the more you looked at it. This is honestly why you have to go out and see things for yourself because the TV lies! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">I have realised that travelling is truly a luxury in this lifetime and by not visiting different parts of the world in so long, I have cheated myself out of many experiences but going forward I want to make sure I make the most of being able to travel. By the time I am posting this I would have just come back from Amsterdam making that 4 trips in one year. I can only hope that 2018 brings me many more amazing memories! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>There will come two stages in life that you will cherish: </i></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>leaving behind people/energy/environments that bring you down +</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i>appreciating the good people/things/opportunities you receive.</i> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I'm currently going through a stage of clearance. Clearance of people, things & situations that no longer benefit me in any way shape or form. That's where my head is at right now.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Last time I wrote an adulting post it was about 'The Real World' but that ship has sailed and now I'm living the true reality of being an adult & focusing on clearing out the old that weighs me down & holds me back from being the greater version of me or just from having space. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Like how I <b>don't</b> really need 7 bomber jackets, a load of trainers & a library supply of books that I never use when there are people who could use/benefit from them more than me and I could sell some & spend that money on better experiences in life. Or how I <b>don't </b>have to be around people that make me feel worst than I feel better and create more downs in my life than ups. Or just simply how I <b>don't</b> have to do anything my heart doesn't desire to do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I've had to do some self reflection in the last year on who I am & what I want from this life. <b>To be happy</b> is the answer. It's funny because when that becomes your spectrum/goal you start to realise how many things/people don't fit within that vision. What doesn't make me happy is getting up for a job I no longer like, to see people that don't uplift my spirit & waste 5 days of my life a week that I'll never get back...on repeat. Time can't be refunded it simply comes with no receipt to get it back when you don't use it wisely. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I've started having a huge clearout of clothes, which you will find on my Depop page : <b><a href="https://www.depop.com/tiaao19" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">tiaao19</span></a></b> or my eBay page: <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/taliyah19?_trksid=p2047675.l2559" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">taliyah19</span></b></a> and the rest will go to the clothing bank for someone who needs it more, I have way too much for one person and my style is forever changing so it's time to let go! I have also taken a huge step towards my happiness & future by deciding to actually leave my current job and not keep saying I will. I've never felt so strongly about something in my life but I have so much faith that God has my back & I will get more opportunities from doing this. Lastly people come & go and that is fine because negative energy is not what I need, I have the most amazing selection of good <b>friends</b> that I can actually fit on one hand as cliché as that sounds but it's true. I'm also going to keep up the travelling, when this goes live I will have just come back from a week in an amazing 5 star resort in Turkey which was the break I really needed and next month I will go to Amsterdam making that my 4th trip of the year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I can only hope that things will look up for me , my positive mindset will be restored & that God and the Universe sends me great things in return! New opportunities, new great people & new experiences. After all, life is what we make it so it's worth making sure it's a good one!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A couple months back I was kindly contacted by Zaful asking if I'd like to review some of their clothing, with the choice to choose what I wanted within a budget. If you know me I love a good bargain when it comes to clothing so I was more than happy to get involved. When I ordered the items I must admit it was more summer time but nonetheless I still want to share my choices because London does have a hot day here and there. I picked a <a href="http://www.zaful.com/s/blue-print-dress/?lkid=103969 " target="_blank">blue print dress</a> & a stripe ruffle dress as I'm getting into wearing dresses more now & thought that would be a safe option for my first purchase. The items took just under 2 weeks to arrive but both items I chose were in the priority despatch filter so delivery could vary.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I loved the cut of this dress. Nothing better than a cute little dress to pair with converse when you feel like dressing up your day outfit. The quality was surprisingly very good for what people assume clothing from China would be like. The website lists it as cotton & the embroidery detail is done very well. When ordering in Asian sizes I usually go for the biggest size just to be sure which was a Large and this fit me very well, I can't wait for it to be a bit warmer again so I can wear this out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The second dress was a bit 50/50 for me. I love the stripes with the ruffle detail however it came to a awkward length on me which was too short as a dress but a bit longer than I'd like as a top. This would probably be better suited for someone of shorter height than me but could probably be easily paired with a pair of skinny white jeans or a cropped trouser. The material is also a polyester which would have stopped me choosing it had I noticed but nonetheless the quality of polyester wasn't the cheap stretchy type so I'm not too fussed about that. </span></div>

I am going away next month so may have a cheeky shop before I go.The prices are really good & shipping via priority despatch only took two weeks which is standard for anything coming from China. Also the imagery was very good and the items came just as described & shown online which I was very happy with.</span></div>

Then I went away and massive thanks to BA & their technology issues I had to stay longer which added stress & after that just never found time, or should I say motivation, to finish this post. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">So here it is. My first proper holiday in 10+ years as opposed to Paris which was just a city break. My first time in Africa & Morocco. This trip was a real experience, to say the least. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Staying at Riad Sofia, a short walk from the Koutoubia Mosque & Jemaa El-Fnaa, we had the loveliest host called Ibrahim who was very welcoming to any needs we had, including helping us order takeaway food late in the evening & hanging out with us for a chat whilst we waited. Riads have a much more traditional feel to them, like a Moroccan house with an inner courtyard, so we opted to stay in one for the full experience. Our first day was spent settling in, after arrival we had a long nap & then went to the square to get something to eat. It was such a beautiful scene with all the lights and market/square still vibrant after dark.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Have you really been to Marrakech if you haven't visited El Jardin Marjorelle. Words can not describe the beauty of this garden in person. Photos I'd seen online did no justice to what this place really looks like. From the boldness of the Marjorelle blue to the greenery of all the different plants & cacti. This is where Yves Saint Laurent's memorial is & what a place to be remembered in. I have to say Marrakech has such beautiful sights, some of the roads & architecture there is so beautiful. After spending a fair amount of time in here taking in the sights, getting some photos & embracing the moment, we headed to El Jardin restaurant located in the Souks, they usually have turtles walking around but sadly we didn't see any, for dinner.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Now I have to mention that on the way back from the restaurant we experienced quite an uncomfortable situation with some younger men in the area after losing sense of direction. This trip brought to my attention that some men were not very respectful of women from outside their country and could be very intimidating as well as consistent in harassing you even though we declined any need for help. After being followed & harassed by one, the decision made between me & my friend to follow a group of Asian women & knock on their Riad for help found us a lovely man, the Riad owner, who walked us all the way back to the square, giving us advice on how to read people & stay safe when out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">The next day we had planned to go on the excursion I had most highly anticipated, quad biking & camel riding. Now I had done both things before but not in this way. On my year 6 trip we rode quad bikes round a tiny track & ever since I've wanted a quad bike & to go on one again. That experience was amazing, driving though Palm Grove with the wind attacking me but I would 100% do it again. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">We stopped off at a Berber village for Moroccan mint tea, or whisky as they call it, and a light snack then set off back to the Quad drop off point. Tip for anyone doing this excursion. Future - Mask off is perfect for this however white converse are not. After this our transfer dropped us to the camel place where we rode around on camels, this is so painful for your inner thighs but the last time I went on a camel it was in the chairs at the side so I wanted to experience this at least once.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Our last couple days were very relaxed and spent going back to the square to do some souvenir shopping, I bought several bracelets, argan oil and a lovely royal blue top with amazing detailing that had cream pants to match. The square had been such a new experience, seeing all the interesting things people were selling, the music and busy crowds & having them shout out any female celebrity they could think of to get your attention. I opted for an all white outfit this day, that didn't last long, by the time we got back to the Riad it was stained with watermelon juice. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Lowe & behold the trip came to an end, or so we thought. BA system crashes & a cancelled flight later we end up spending an extra two days in a luxury hotel not far from the airport, Kenzi Menara Palace Hotel. The staff here were very accommodating to us & we got to enjoy lunch & dinner here. It's funny because we actually got to experience the traditional & the luxury side of Morocco in one trip, partially paid for by BA however having to fork out for another flight home, which may I add me & my friend had to get on two separate flights, was not part of the plan and believe me those last two days were stressful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I can only say that this trip was one hell of an experience in itself, some good moments some bad. The sights of Marrakech are definitely worth seeing, there is so much beauty in this city. However I'd say that if you are a woman I'd say to be wary of your surroundings at night, don't be naïve to random men inviting you places & also to be aware of how you are dressing. The best thing about life is learning & I have to say this trip taught me a lot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I don't know why this took me so long to post. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">But here it is, 7 days in Marrakech, 3 months later!</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having watched a load of Zaful hauls lately on YouTube and endlessly browsing their website, I have put together a quick key essentials wishlist for summer of some of the items I'm loving on their site including the short <a href="http://www.zaful.com/s/cotton-dress/?lkid=103969" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;">cotton dress</span></a> & <a href="http://www.zaful.com/s/dress-long-dress/?lkid=103969" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;">dress long dress</span></a>, bold swimwear & a bunch of tops perfect for everyone. </span></span><br />

</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Living in London I'm not going to act like we actually have a summer here but that shouldn't stop anyone from investing in their summer/holiday wardrobe anyway. Zaful is an affordable Asian website, based in Hong Kong, that sells various styles of clothing for decent prices, trust me I love a good Asian clothing site. </span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I can't stress how essential nice tops are in your wardrobe. Being someone who loves to wear jeans or trousers on a night out I was forever having to wear the same tops. It wasn't until recently I started investing more into tops so I was happy to see such a variety of tops for all occasions on their site. I picked out three of my favs to add to the wishlist but there were plenty others I loved </span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><a href="http://www.zaful.com/tops-e_6/?lkid=103969" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;">here</span></a>. I've been getting into this off the shoulder trend & have been wanting to get more kimono sleeved tops so these two are definitely my favourites/ The first one is actually advertised as a dress but it looks quite short so there's nothing wrong with throwing some jeans underneath and making it more versatile.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />Gone are the days of basic swimwear! Nowadays it's all about the cut outs, scalloped edges & bold colours. If you don't know by now citrus colours like yellows & oranges are key to every black girls wardrobe this summer. Pick colours that contrast well with your skintone to make your swimwear stand out. If like me you're not 100% for the two pieces, opt for a cute one piece with a nice design that will still give you a nice shape like the one above. All these swim pieces are under £15, shop others </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial";"><a href="http://www.zaful.com/swimwear-e_14/?lkid=103969" target="_blank">here</a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae176/teephotos19/Mobile%20Uploads/PhotoGrid_1437833352476.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae176/teephotos19/Mobile%20Uploads/PhotoGrid_1437833352476.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Depop is one the best apps when it comes to selling your stuff. People regularly ask me about how to use it & the best ways to get your stuff sold. </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So I thought I'd share a few tips & tricks..</span><br /><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>1. Take Good Photos; Angles & Close ups.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The key to a good Depop first & foremost is visuals. I can't stress this enough. The amount of times someone will ask you 'what does this look like on?', 'Do you have more pictures?' will drive you crazy so beat them to it. I treat Depop like my own shop so I make sure majority of my pictures are clear and taken properly. I usually take mine using my 70D camera & a tripod in my room but you can take them anywhere, even on your phone, just make sure the lighting is GOOD, the background is CLEAR and the FOCUS is all on the item. Take multiple pictures from different angles & close ups of branding. Try to steer from online product photos unless you really can't take photos or want to show actual colours.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Describe to the fullest.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Another important thing that people tend to not put effort into is the description. Let's be honest, 'black long dress, size 10, topshop' is not going to sell as well as </span><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">'Topshop ribbed 90s style midi bodycon black dress, UK size 10 will also fit size 12, Brand new'</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">. Every little thing you can think of put it on there because people search for different things & the more description the more people will find it.</span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">List the Defects. Honesty is key.</span></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">If they're worn say they're worn. Please. If there's a small hole, take a photo, show it and mention it. Buyers/Sellers are able to leave each other feedback after the transaction, you don't want 2 stars saying you never mentioned the small stain on the back, even if it seemed minor to you. I mention every little thing I can see. Cover your back!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>4. Like & Follow</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Just because you're here to sell doesn't mean you can't find something you like. Like a few items, the seller might check your page out. When someone follows you, you'll appear in the activity feed and that can lead someone else to follow your page or like one of your items.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not sure if a lot of people know this but if you edit your posts it sends them back to the top of your Depop page and any feed they come up in. Before Depop's 'move sold items down' on desktop, I used to slightly edit all my depop posts after I sold something to send the sold one to the bottom of my page and refresh the other items. It brings in new people to your page who haven't yet seen the item. This is good to do when you're bored, for example, change Size 10 to Size UK 10, save and that's an update. </span></div>

<a href="https://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae176/teephotos19/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20170423_190040_982_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Few years into official adulting (22) & life's just coming at me left, right and centre.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">How many times did I hear 'When you get out in the real world...' when I was younger. The real world back then was some sort of fantasy world that you just assumed was this thing adults used to scare you into doing everything for yourself. Lowe & behold, when I finally left the safety net of education, which guaranteed me a constant focus, free or discounted travel & a reason to be busy, the real world really did appear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">You see what they don't tell you about the real world is that when you start working full time, days off can equal unproductive days spent in bed because what is going out when you can watch endless movies & eat your body weight in snacks. What they don't tell you about the real world is your dream car might mean many many years of saving, the gym will cost an arm & a leg membership fee and food shopping doesn't last as long as you think it will. Oh and the tax man, nobody warned me about the tax man!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae176/teephotos19/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20170423_190128_427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="font-family: "arial";"><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It's funny because at one point you couldn't wait to be an adult. Shout out to younger me thinking I was going to be a parent by now, me who still sometimes eats a big packet of crisps for dinner. Wow! It's crazy how the unknown clouds your vision when you're younger lol. Fast forward to now and I couldn't be anywhere further from that stage of life.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever not had my life together more than now. This is the part of my life I never planned out. I saw everything else happening up until this point. Where I went to college & uni, where I wanted to work. Now here I am at an incredible standstill, hoping that a sign is sent my way to lead to my next destination. Word to my younger self, the vision isn't always what you thought it would be. You pretty much hate everything you thought you'd love & everything you love seems to not be as easy to achieve as you thought. Also anxiety creeps up on your ass along the way of life, that oh so joyful companion. Still, life goes on & everything that goes wrong is a valuable life lesson because God is good and I have faith that I am destined for success even if I have to take the incredibly longer route.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />So if anyone else is struggling like myself, I'd like to share a few things I've learnt along the way. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, it's greener where you water it. Don't be afraid to fail. Take the jump. Don't let people use you & most importantly don't let your dreams go because you can't see the outcome. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae176/teephotos19/20170304_220743.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="https://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae176/teephotos19/20170304_220743.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everybody loves having money & nice things. Don't we all love a new product to try out or something for free every now and then. So I've decided to put together a post of easy ways to save money & get a few freebies along the way...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b></b><strike></strike><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Get paid for your feedback...</b></span><a href="https://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">ValuedOpinion Surveys</span></a><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">,</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.paidtasks" target="_blank">Google Opinion Rewards</a> & <a href="http://crowdology.uk/" target="_blank">Crowdology</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Being paid to fill out surveys. How much easier can it get. I know regularly we see YouTubers advertising Opinion Outpost which gets annoying but honestly these things do exist. I use ValuedOpinions & Crowdology website where you answer surveys on anything from travel to food to products and you are rewarded for each one you complete. When you make a certain amount you can start redeeming rewards; vouchers from Topshop, Boots, Amazon, John Lewis etc.. or on Crowdology you can cash out to Paypal for as little as £4. The more you participate the more surveys they'll send. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Google Opinion Rewards in the same way rewards you when you answer surveys which take less than a minute and gives you credit on your Google Play Account. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><b>2. Open a savings account....& do it right!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I feel like saving money is a skill, a skill I have become very good at. Ever since I was in uni I learnt how to save & have been quite successful. I have nothing to save for but you never know when you might need some spare cash. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Tip 1: Open a savings account , especially in uni instead of getting a student account. You don't NEED an overdraft. Unless money is really that scarce but even then the bank is not the place to get money from unless it's your own.<br />Tip 2: Pay yourself first. I read this line in the 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' book and it's so true. When I got my student loan or now my wages I pay what I'm saving into my savings account before I deduct bills. I usually half my income (if possible) and then budget from what I have left. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Tip 3: DO NOT get a savings card. Nowadays most banks have apps so you can view & transfer money to your savings account without having to go into a bank. A savings card may only entice you to draw money out and use it when you don't need to.</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Get free/cheap cinema/theatre/show tickets</span></b><span style="font-size: large;">...</span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.showfilmfirst.com/" target="_blank">ShowFilmFirst</a></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This site is great for film lovers or people who like to be spontaneous and try new things. ShowFilmFirst is basically a site that gives members free tickets or special offers to see movies,shows, events sometimes before they've been released. It's mainly for the film makers/ show creators to get a bit of feedback beforehand and you get to enjoy it without having to spend a penny...apart from on the snacks you'll be diving into. I used this site to go and see the Nelson Mandela movie 'Long Walk To Freedom' & Mary J Blige/Maxwell concert. Membership is free, they usually send a pin to your email that you enter on the site to get your tickets. Locations vary.</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><b>4. Sign up to freebie sites</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">There are tons of freebie sites online, not all you can trust, but the ones you can offer great samples. Free makeup, food & perfume samples etc. The ones I normally follow are <a href="http://www.magicfreebies.co.uk/" target="_blank">MagicFreebies</a>, LatestFreeStuff & WowFreeStuff. I'm the biggest fan of freebies so these sites are my fav!</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><b>5. Buy (and sell) on eBay & Depop!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Last but not least....the plug! eBay or eBae even. I swear this site is soooo underrated. I get so much from here; La Girl Pro Concealers, Chokers, Phone/Camera accessories, Rings, Clothes...you name it I've bought it from there probably. You can save so much money checking eBay before you go online or instore on the high street. Depop is just as good for second hand or brand new buys but also is great for selling things really easily, think of Instagram meeting eBay. Super easy & a great way to make money on the side. Check out my Depop page: <a href="https://www.depop.com/tiaao19" target="_blank">tiaao19</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">That leaves more money for you to spend on fun things & experiences. How about that!</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">They say 'Time waits for no one' & that sure is true. I learnt a long time ago that waiting on people to do things with, sometimes means you'll miss out on a lot of experiences. I think as people we have to learn to enjoy our own company before we can fully embrace the presence of others around us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In my last post <a href="https://amortee.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/new-year-same-vision.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">here</span></a>, I talked about "Getting out the way of yourself" and doing things outside your comfort zone. So what better way to kick start the year than travelling to Paris...alone! A lot of people questioned me on this but where is the rulebook that I have to explore the world with someone by my side at all times. I did this for the experience of something different & to be honest just because one of my goals was to travel somewhere alone. I haven't travelled outside the UK in a very long time , so it was a big deal for me & as I said 'Time waits for no one'. So I took the jump & went for it. I chose to stay at Hotel Carina Tour Eiffel in the Beaugrenelle/Charles Michel area. The hotel was only 3 stars but a lovely place nonetheless with welcoming, friendly staff, a comfy bed & a bathroom with the most amazing lighting! Situated on a quiet side road, a short walk from the Eiffel Tower, it really made my stay very comforting.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My first day was spent visiting the Eiffel Tower, typical touristy stuff. Thankfully this was only down the road from me so I was able to walk and explore a little on my journey. It was so cold! London was actually mild compared to how cold it was in Paris that day. Nonetheless I braved waiting ages to go up the Eiffel Tower (all 3 floors) and it was worth every minute. The views of Paris from the top were incredible & I could see every other monument. By the time I got up there it was very dark but being the city of lights, I could see the whole city lit up including the wheel at Place de la Concorde & Arc de Triomphe. Such a great view of a beautiful city. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It was so weird to be a tourist for once. To every international person who has struggled with English here, I feel your pain now. My French was so poor that the only words I could mutter correctly were "Bonjour" and "Merci". I do wish I would have learnt more before going. Seeing the monuments that I hear people talk about so much; Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower etc.. really gave me a sense of fulfilment, to see things you've only seen in pictures in reality is exciting but it made me want to explore the world more. The world is such an incredible thing, how can I possibly go through life without seeing what it has to offer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The boots I had chosen to wear on my second day, turned out to not be for walking so I decided to reside my shopping trip on Champ Elysees in Vapianos for a much loved pizza, which had the most amazing plant wall that I had to snap before I left. Honestly the small greenhouse in Vapianos Oxford Circus is minor compared to that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I spent the last couple of days around the Concorde area. A walking tour showed me more landmark places such as The Love Lock Bridge, The Louvre, Notre Dame etc.. it also brought me to Rue de Rivoli where I was able to visit Colette, a store I had heard a lot about. That place is so cool, if I ever decided to move to Paris, that is where I would want to work for sure! I love how chic the French make everything look, even right down to their Stone Island boutique, that looked like it would have a nice feature at fashion week.</span></div>

The people are very kind & it's so easy to get around especially by walking or the Metro, I highly recommend anyone to go there for a solo trip if you are considering one. I hope this year brings me many more great experiences outside my comfort zone, I really want to invest in experiences this year. I took this trip not only to have some me time but to get back into taking photos & I'm pretty sure my motivation is back.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />I plan to go into this new year with a positive mindset & focus on my visions & goals. With a new blog name, Tia Aaliyah, and a more lifestyle with a hint of fashion based approach I hope that I will slide back into it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I want to share some of the things I will be & have been doing that I believe are the keys to making the year a successful one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1. WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS</span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Seeing is believing. If you write them down, it becomes more of a to do list that you can tick off over time. Write down everything you want to achieve for the year. It could be as small as finishing a project to travelling somewhere you've always wanted to go. If the same goal comes to your mind, write it down again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>2. ENVISION IT</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Vision boards. Think pinterest but on paper. What are your long term goals? Gather all your end goal visions into images and make them into a vision board. One huge one or separate ones for different areas e.g. health/fitness, career, travel etc. Place it somewhere you will see it everyday, you are more likely to stay motivated if you can see what you are working towards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>3. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD ENERGY</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It is not always about cutting people off. Meet new people. Spend more time with those who uplift you & encourage you to achieve your goals. Watch people who inspire you. Listen to their journeys. Steve Harvey has become such a great mentor for me lately, in terms of success this man has come far from nothing and I highly recommend watching his motivational videos or reading one of his books.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>4. SAVE! SAVE! SAVE!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm going to do a separate post on how I save money. Last year I saved nearly £3k and believe me it really makes a difference when you save effectively. It enabled me to do things like treat myself here & there but also I am able to plan ahead knowing I am capable of saving enough & still not having to miss out on anything along the way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>5. GET OUT OF THE WAY OF YOURSELF.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I learnt this one from watching Steve Harvey's talk show & it's honestly one of the biggest habits of my own. It's the same as stepping out of your comfort zone. We hold ourselves back from so many things we are capable of because of fear & doubt. Steve says "If you do not jump, you will never soar....If you don't jump, you will never know" So this year I will do just that!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>Bucket List: Have afternoon tea ✔<br />I always thought afternoon tea consisted of a fancy tea room in an expensive venue where you go for special occasions. Lowe and behold, I discovered it can be so much different. On Wednesday we celebrated one of my good friends 21st birthday by taking her on a surprise afternoon tea trip. Recently she has been trying the vegan route so we had to bare this in mind, after a quick Google of 'vegan afternoon tea' I came across La Suite West. <br />Hidden down a side road, a short 5-10 min walk from Queensway station, La Suite West is my kind of place. Simple + modern design, greyscale but so chic at the same time. As well as being a hotel it houses its own vegan/raw food restaurant called 'Raw'. </i></span></div>

Such an amazing setting! The food was very well presented on black slates with the waitresses explaining what everything was. Finger sandwiches, scones & deserts/cakes (tiramisu, vegan cheesecake + filo parcels). The freshly made scones were to die for, served with coconut whipped cream and sliced strawberries. As I'm not a vegan I wasn't a fan of everything but nonetheless it was a great experience & my friends enjoyed it! Unlimited teas and coffees were on hand, in clear glass teapots, even though a wasp decided to share mine with me. *SIGH* <br />To top it all off...a vegan chocolate brownie for the birthday girl.<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Since working full time I hardly have time to do other things but last Thursday I was lucky enough to have a day off work which allowed me to attend Farfetch.com's first beauty event to celebrate the launch of the new beauty section on their website. Farfetch is an online website that houses items from 400 luxury boutiques as well as its new beauty section which will include luxury beauty brands such as Space Nk & Chantecaille.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Held in the London Makeup School near Shoreditch, the night consisted of food & prosecco, live makeup demonstrations & meeting new people. Usually my social anxiety would kick in full scale & I'd give it a miss but I'm so glad I went in the end. The Farfetch girls were so welcoming & as well as meeting new people, I saw a couple bloggers I already follow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Sue, one of the London Makeup School tutors, showed us how to recreate some of the key looks from SS16, my favourites being the smokey eye look and the Au Naturele! It really makes me want to learn how to do eyeshadow properly! </span></div>

Even though I've never heard of the brand before I love cleansers, so I look forward to trying it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recently, I was contacted by Juliana from Vegas.com and asked to take part in their #UltimateVegasStyle competition. I was asked to put together some outfits inspired by "A Day in Vegas"! Although I've never been myself, the bright light 24 hour city is one that is well known to many people so I couldn't wait to start creating.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I decided to go for two outfits; day and night. Starting with something casual to explore the city and ending with a more classy evening outfit to hit the strip at night.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">To start off the day I thought I'd go for something casual but stylish. A nude long sleeve bodysuit, complete with matching YSL bag, teamed with a pair of denim frayed shorts evens out the bare skin ratio and would allow me to be comfortable whilst walking around the city. Even though converse tend to have their good and bad days, for me they are great for casual days and walking around. The beginning of my day would be likely to start with shopping. Fashion Show mall (<a href="https://www.vegas.com/shopping/fashion-show-las-vegas/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">here</span></a>) would be my first choice; even away from home I can't miss a chance to hit up stores like Zara or F21. After shopping, I may head for a a spot of bowling at Brooklyn Bowl in the <a href="https://www.vegas.com/attractions/on-the-strip/linq/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">LINQ Promenade</span></a>. I love bowling, it's such a competitive game yet so much fun to play with friends. So why not! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For the evening, I'd head back to my hotel and change into this lovely white culotte jumpsuit, I'm currently obsessed with flowy culotte anything. Pairing them with a marble clutch bag filled with all my bits and pieces needed for the night including some change for a possible casino trip and a mini lip kit for touch ups after dinner. Lastly to complete the outfit, some beautiful white floral printed Louboutin Houghton platform heels and I'm off for dinner at Voodoo Steak before heading to the <a href="https://www.vegas.com/nightclubs/voodoo/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">Voodoo rooftop nightclub</span></a> to party my night away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><i><span style="color: black;">The comeback post</span></i><span style="color: black;">.<br />So Stradivarius finally came to London Oxford Street & I had to go have a look! I've only been waiting for them to come closer to me than Stratford Westfield (because that is not a place for me) forever so I headed straight there on its second day of opening. The store appears to attract the Bershka customer who wants to ease into the Zara style, meeting nicely in the middle. There was so much choice that I had to control myself as I went into the fitting room (where the lovely Andrea wrote my name on the outside mirror) and downsize my choices. I knew this bomber jacket was to be added to my collection ever since I saw Shirley B Eniang feature it on her channel. The striped bodysuit is a personal fav of all my purchases, paired with some slim fit trousers or a nice pair orfjeans it will be perfect for summer. I can't wait to wear it! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />The diffuser is very good, I opened it and was wondering what the smell was from across my room and didn't realise it travelled that far. Definitely worth £9.99. If you happen to pop in store smell the 'Tangy Orange Juice' candle, AHHHMAAAZINGG!<br />Most items are linked below photos x</span></div>

It's <i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">officially winter, forget autumn. Winter has arrived in London.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>All of a sudden it's jacket & scarf cold.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some of my favourite colours during Autumn/Winter are burgundy & maroon. Lip products, nail polishes & clothes.<br />Recently I found myself being drawn in to Superdrug due to their big 3 for 2 offer on all their cosmetics, nails and lashes and picked up some Miss Sporty polishes. One of them being this gorgeous maroon shade. As part of the 'Check Matte' collection, it applies nicely and dries instantly to give a sleek matte finish, which I love! I've never tried this colour on my nails before but I'm so glad I picked this one up for £1.99.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I decided that I missed false nails so this was the perfect time to test out this new colour. I also purchased another shade which I will share in another post. I've received so many compliments from wearing this nail colour, it's such a different colour for nails but looks so good on. Although real life black girl struggles occur when I grease my hair and touch it which turns the matte nails to shiny, slightly defeating the purpose but hey, still a lovely product!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When it comes to makeup, I just about do my eyebrows nowadays if I have time. However, I've been loving the sudden surge of liquid lipstick products on the beauty market lately. The easy application of a lipgloss with the finish of a lipstick. Perfect! So I've decided that I want to get into lip products more because I can't have carmex as the only thing I use for life. My current favourite lip combo is L.A Girl Lipliner in Cocoa combined with NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in 'Stockholm' which is the perfect nude lip for me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I picked up these four products; three from Superdrug and one from Primark. Makeup Revolution has always caught my eye due to their palettes so I gave them a look. The two products I found are pretty similar in their colour which is like a dark fuschia pink, this is probably why the names are similar. One being a lipstick (which smells like Refresher sweets) and the other a matte liquid lipstick (which does not smell nice). The PS Love liquid lipstick, a pinkish nude, was a random purchase in Primark because I wanted to try it out, I don't like the gloss on this one and the brush is tiny so it's hard to apply. Kooky by MUA, a dark purple colour, is something I have wanted for so long now but it's always out of stock in my local Superdrug, turns out they changed their packaging and brought it back again in Marble Arch's store so I was so happy to finally get it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I won't go into much detail as I'm not that clued up on these kind of things but if I find anymore I'll be sure to post them here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two things I like when it comes to bathrooms are the colour grey and huge tiles. The tiles in the first image & the ones on the left of the collage above are something I would love in my future home. I love how in the first image they painted the side walls white so it doesn't feel like you're boxed in, opening up the room to more light. Gold accents or wooden aspects here & there add something different & break down the grey overload so it's not overpowering. The clear box sink with the black trim. Omg. I love things that are modern and different. I can't quite figure out how the water would empty out but I want it regardless. Backlit mirrors and plants in the bathroom. So tumblr, but I'm here for it. Looks like I'll be residing in my future bathroom more than I should be. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Denim has been a big trend recently especially during the 70's trend hype.<br />I've been seeing a lot of high street stores selling different denim pieces e.g. playsuits & jumpsuits/skirts etc.. so I thought why not style some pieces. I got good feedback from my Wireless outfits post so why not.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Outfit 1: Longline Denim Shirt</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kylie Jenner style, as people would probably know it as. I love anything longline because it covers your bum and you don't have to worry about being exposed. A longline shirt is basically a dress so you have the choice to not wear trousers. Paired with some thigh high boots that pretty much makes up for the lack of bottoms. To dress it up add a sleeveless waistcoat & even a cap if the casual look is what you like. This would look great for lunch dates.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Outfit 2: Denim Skirts</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If I was a mini skirt person I would live in these skirts with the button up fronts. So many people have been wearing these in different materials but I do love the denim ones.<br />This would be a great outfit for college/uni. A bodysuit would be great with this skirt as you wouldn't have to do all that tucking in, this lace up one is lovely but you could always go for a more plain one. As this is a more casual outfit I paired it with plain white trainers & a longline beige waistcoat if you are conscious of the skirt length it also adds more colour. This is perfect for casual days out with your girls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Outfit 3: Denim Dress</b><br /> Denim isn't just for casual days it can also be worn out in the evening. There are so many styles of denim dress about, I recently got a shirt dress one from Zara. This shift one is very plain so I went for a statement necklace & silver jewellery to jazz it up a bit. A nice pair of black heels and a black clutch to match makes it perfect for any night out. Wearing denim would definitely make you stand out as a lot of people wouldn't usually opt for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Outfit 4: Classic Denim Shirt</b><br />This is a wardrobe essential for me. Everybody should have at least one denim shirt in their life. This is definitely one that I would wear. Something to run errands in or just go out but feel a bit more dressed up in. Double denim is something I am yet to try but if you're not a fan of it either you can always switch the jeans up for black trousers. Heeled ankle boots. The inbetween of flats and heels. Find a comfortable pair, I have great vagabond dupes in Topshop, wear them whenever you want to look more dressed up. I don't know what it is about this black cap but I've been so in love with mine lately I want to wear it all the time. Randomly I added this purple liquid lipstick for a pop of colour but each to their own. If you work somewhere where you have choice of uniform this would be a great stylish/casual outfit, just make sure those boots are comfy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A food post was way overdue. <br />My snapchat stories & camera roll are always full of food pictures but never do I share any on my blog. I love food but I usually eat it before I have time to do take some decent photos of it. Recently I've been craving something really chocolatey lately & remembered this recipe a friend told me about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />I've never made brownies before but I'm trying to get more into cooking/baking as much as I am into eating lool. So I decided to give it a try. Let me just add I'm not a fan of chocolate,I have to crave it but omg guys, OMG! I could cry happy tears at how great these taste. All cravings satisfied. They're supposed to have a gooey interior and as you can see they are that, chocolate lovers this is really something else. I was so proud of them for a first try I had to get my camera out and snap. I did eat three beforehand but you know, they fit better on the plate that way. Of course. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Enjoy and treat yourself once in a while. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All the walking I did & water I drank during the week made up for this. Just saying.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a serious love for interior design. My Sims lived great lives because of this. So I thought I'd bring some of my inspiration for my future house (a girl can dream) to my blog. So welcome to the first of my new inspiration posts, starting with some interior design..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love the simple look for an office. Too much clutter would distract me anyway. These are some of the pins I came across that I really liked. I'm such a simple person so I would keep to the minimal theme. I love the different desks they have; glass, wall-to-wall and the small counter top style one.How fab is the see through desk I need that. Lies. I want that. I think it's clear that an Apple product makes an office look very neat and put together lol but any computer would fit in great. A white room would bring in so much light in the daytime, with a great side lamp to help with all the late night online shopping, I mean working.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Forever 21 has been such a popular store since moving to the UK. I remember seeing pictures of it all over Tumblr before it came here and being excited to go there when it first opened.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is great for simple pieces and jewellery but a section I have been loving lately is the Love21 Contemporary section. A lot of the items within the store are teenage girl style and casual but this line seems to take a more mature & stylish route which I love especially the colour palette. For the trendy female adult I'd say. I was having a browse online and thought I'd post some of the items that interested me, I have a gift card from my birthday so I might just be heading down there soon to pick something up.<br />I've linked what's still online as pieces are disappearing fast but check your local store.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One day I will give a full body shot in an outfit post shot on my DSLR...but today is not that day. Sorry.<br />I literally just shot these photos quickly on Tuesday morning after waking up extra early to do Aunty duties. When I got home I had so much energy I thought why not take some shots of my outfit. By now it's clear that I'm a simple dresser with a basic colour scale. This outfit is somewhere between soccer mom x her daughter. I'm not one to wear hats but when my hair is freshly washed in its natural state, a hat is essential. Adidas is my favourite sports brand clothing wise so I had to have an adidas cap when it came to me deciding where to buy a black cap from.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway this outfit is a simple throw on casual outfit. These skinny joggers from Bershka. Yes! Whoever decided that maybe people wanted to wear tracksuit bottoms without looking like they're about to ride out on the streets. Thank you! Paired them with a basic black tee & my black waistcoat from eBay & of course my black Nike Theas (I seriously need to let them go) and that is how I run errands at 9am.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Being a "photographer" I have this habit whereby things have to be perfect visually otherwise it bothers me. So I found myself spending a lot of time in the last month taking photos for my depop. As you can see from the above screenshots of my Depop I have quite a bit that I'm getting rid of and that's just some of the recent stuff. I love this app I've sold quite a bit so far and find it so much easier than eBay when it comes to selling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I seem to be quite a hoarder when it comes to clothes, I don't know why, I live in black Leigh jeans, basic tops and Nike Theas. I decided now was the best time, post uni post student finance *cries a little* to get rid of a load of clothes. A lot of items are brand new or have only been worn once then never touched again. Such a shame. So now they have to go. If you don't have Depop seriously you need to download it, so many great clothes for good affordable prices as opposed to some RRP.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Follow me on Depop search <a href="http://www.depop.com/tiaao19" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">'tiaao19'</span></a> as seen above. UK shipping only.<br />I'm also starting my new venture on there #SourcedByTee, where if I come across any great items, I buy and then resell them for more affordable prices. So keep a look out for that!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>I seem to be more motivated to blog since finishing uni. I'm in two minds about talking about my uni experience on here but I do feel like the biggest weight has been lifted off my shoulder and things are going to get better. </em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This cute white crop top is one of my most recent purchases. I saw <a href="http://beautyandtheblog23.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/back-to-basics.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">Beauty&TheBlog</span></a> post about it & she said it was on sale. Next thing I know I was on Topshops website making an order. It's a simple basic top but the popper buttons add a different style to it. It's also a ribbed material which I love more than the plain cotton material. I can pop two buttons without exposing my chest to the world, which may I add, I have decided to give Primark bras a try finally and guys, I feel like a new woman lol. Don't underestimate. I only paired it with my joni jeans because I was just trying it on initially but this is probably how I'd style it. It would look so nice with a high waisted skirt or trousers though, even a button up skirt which i keep seeing everywhere. The top is currently £6 in the sale if it's still available I'll link it above or try to find an alternative. </span></div>
