Blank page fear: where to start.


Stephen King was right when he said "The scariest moment is always just before you start"

I 100% have what is called blank page fear. Now I would assume that most people who suffer with anxiety will have experienced this is some way but I also just think it's a thing that can happen to anyone. Basically, I interpret this as where on earth do I start, with anything! Even if you have loads of ideas it's hard to make a start when there is no way to know the outcome. I've split this blog post into three sections in which I experience the black page fear.


Blog post



I'm really new to blog posting, as I have said before it's something I have always wanted to do but some days it's hard to write what you want to say. My blog isn't really specific to one thing where as some people have a beauty blog or a travel blog, I kinda wanted to include everything as I didn't want to have the worry of restricting myself. Even if I know what I want to write a blog post on it's hard to know where to start. The first thing I do is either take some pictures or find some online that are relevant to what I wanna write about. I then make a plan in my blogging notebook that I got from Tesco with just some headings or ideas. Once you have done that, there is no way around it, you have to open the blank page. Hopefully though, after getting your pictures and making a plan you can just start typing those ideas out because the initial fear of not knowing what to write has been taken away.

Uni work


This is a major one where planning is so necessary. Now, I'm not going to pretend that I do this for every piece of work but you will benefit from it so much. There have been so many times that I put my uni work off because I know that I have to start with a blank page which is sooo scary. If you're like me you will put it of until you REALLY have to open that word document and once you do, without realising the words start flowing. It really is just the initial fear of not having started it or thinking you can't do it/don't know where to start. BUT YOU CAN DO IT, you have for previous essays and will in the future!

Life



This is a little different. How I relate the blank page fear to life. A lot of this comes from doubting yourself and what you are capable of. I do believe that life will take you wherever it wants you to go, as long as you work hard. A starting point it needed, and you have got to have a dream or plan that you desire in order for life to work around that. Not knowing what you want to do with your life is different to want you would love to happen, but you think is not possible.

Let’s talk slogans...

I absolutely love clothing with slogans on. I think they are so cool and unique. Thought I would share a few of my recent slogan buys as well as a few old ones. I've linked the things I could find (just clock the picture).  I love finding clothes with words and I keep adding to my collection.  So recently, I got this jacket from misguided which I am in love with. I’m actually saving it to wear as my birthday outfit with a plain black jumpsuit because I just love it so much an think it's worthy of a good night in London haha. Lover has been my word for so long and I used to use it all the time. They do the same jacket in a couple of styles and colours .   This one is from the men’s section in H&M but I loved it too much not to buy. Always saying I’m cold hearted, I’m not really I just can be haha! This one reminds me of all the Kanye West stuff that I love! I actually follow an account on Instagram @wornbyellis which has some cool sloga...

Makeup Revolution - Brow Tint - does it work?

Hey loves! I recently bought this revolution brow tint and obviously had to review it. If you seen my blog post on HD brows and the maybelline tattoo brow   you'll know I'm a fan of the tattoo brow idea! I reallllly don't like my natural eyebrows, they never sit right, there too light for my hair and are a rubbish shape, anyone else? Anyway so my sister tried this out first and said she really liked it so I went to superdrug and picked it up myself. I was initially really impressed as it only cost £5 where as the maybelline one cost £12 so a massive difference and I just love saving money. The packaging itself is simple, nothing to fancy just black with crome writing on and you can see the bottle through the little opening. The back of the box shows you step 1, 2 and 3 of how to apply it, how long to leave it on etc.  I got it in the darkest shade they do, dark brown as my hair is blue/black.  This is what the applicator looks like, it quite a thick...

Wedding Inspiration

We got engaged in February 2017, a year ago so obviously my pinterest board is crazy full. I just wanted to blog a few of my favourite inspiration pictures. My board is actually on private mainly because I would want some aspects to be a surprise to friends and family but couldn't resist blogging them. Myself and Nathan have this idea of having the venue and vibe of the day to be barn/outdoor/nature. Here are a few little bits and bobs that Im in love with, whether we decide to have them or not. Firstly, we would absolutely love to be driven in the cutest camper van dreamy little thing! Dislike the tradition of the bride and groom having to get separate cars cos it would just be the cutest to turn up together in this, however I would like my look to be a surprise. Succulent or plant wedding favours, such a good idea that is a must! I love the wooden and greenery vibe, this is a must but it definitely needs more white just to brighten it up, especially f...
