Winter Trends

Winter has always been my favourite season. Not only do I love the weather, but I also love the fashion that it brings! Some trends that I have seen a lot of this season  would be: 
  • Nude tones (varying from lipsticks, shoes and coats)
  • Oversized grey sweaters ( I especially love the ones from country road)
  • Black Jeans
  • Light pink or Grey nail polish
  • Black Boots (Chelsea boots, knee high boots, even thigh highs!)
  • Coats (Nude, grey and black)
  • Stripes
  • T-shirt dresses!
  • Ripped mom jeans
  • Short jean skirts
  • Nike Airmax
  • Quay Australia Sunglasses
  • Knee High socks
  • Brown or Black Sandals

Pineapple Pink Lemonade Ice blocks!

Even though its winter here in Australia, that's not going to stop me from making one of my favourite treats: Ice blocks! Not only is it super easy to make, but the combination of pink lemonade and pineapple will take your mind straight back to summer! (minus the freezing cold temperature of course). 

Ingredients: 
  • 20oz can of pineapple pieces in juice
  • 1/4 cup of pink lemonade mix
  •  cup of water
Method:
Boil together in a sauce pan or pot (its your choice) until pineapples take on pink colour. Let cool. Blend together. Fill ice molds of choice. Freeze. Enjoy!

Fitness + Motivation

While some people can just get up and exercise, others need a bit of motivation. I'm one of those people. I love exercising, I just hate putting in the effort to do so. I'm going to write about my fitness essentials and my favourite motivational fitness accounts in Instagram to hopefully inspire you like I was.

My Top 4 Fitness Essentials-
1- Water! 
Water is one of the most important things you need whilst exercising! I personally love using my Voss bottle (you can order online or buy from some food stores). 
2- Music
I find it near impossible to exercise without music playing! My personal favourite music app is Spotify because it is easy to use and you can find just about any artist on there!
3- Cute workout clothes
Workout clothes is definitely the main contributor for me being inspired to work out. Some trendy/comfortable brands are Adidas, Nike and even the cheap Kmart workout clothes! 
4- A clear goal
There is no point in exercising if you don't set yourself a goal. Your goal doesn't have to be a "super hot bikini body" but it can be just to feel healthier. Also don't set unrealistic goals for yourself, it isn't possible to get a perfect body in 3 weeks and not everyone is able to get a thigh gap. You need to love yourself who you you are by working to improve you health first, not you shape. A good body is worth nothing if it isn't a healthy body.
Motivational Instagram profiles-
1- @kayla_itsines
Kayla Itsines is by far my favourite fitness account! Not only does she have a range of fitness/nutrition guides out but she have inspired thousands to achieve their goals!

Inspiration Wednesday: Maddi Bragg

To be honest, Maddi Bragg is definitely my number one style icon! If you look through her instagram account (@maddibragg) you'll notice how her style mainly consists denim, black and white, sun dresses, shoes and a large variety of sunglasses. She also has a youtube channel (Maddi Bragg).

Hello!

For the longest time I've been meaning to start a blog, but I've never had enough time to make one. Not too long ago I was reading one of my favourite blogs (freshlypickked) and I was inspired to make one of my own. I'm planning on writing about a range of subjects like fashion, beauty, DIY, décor and food. I really hope you like my blog and happy reading! :)
