February favourites

I can't believe February is almost over! It's shocking, but also really exciting because that means that SPRING IS COMING!!! It's my second favorite season! The days are getting brighter, birds start singing, everything is colorful and just better in general.

But before spring comes here are my favorite things from February:

1. Favourite song. Obviously I couldn't just pick one song because I have way too many favourites. But this month I've been listening to a lot of Disney's songs. I don't what it is about those songs, but they just make me really happy. When I listen to them, I always have a smile on my face and I immediately start singing along! I've become a little bit obsessed with Disney but there's nothing wrong about that right? C'mon, I'm sure we all have a little bit of a Disney princess inside of us! Or a prince charming!

2. Favourite TV show. This is an exciting one because the only TV show that I've watched from the first episode to the last one was "My Mad Fat Diary". The show that I've been obsessed with in February is called "Mr. Robot" and is amazing! Even though I wanted to throw my laptop and my phone through the window after watching it. I'm not really good with describing things like this so I'm gonna put a link to the imbd page so you can check it out. I promise you won't regret it!! I finished the show in like 3 days and I can not wait for the second series!

3. Favourite book. I've only read two this month, but they were both really good. As you may or may not know from one of  my previous posts I'm a big fan of criminals so my favourite book in February was obviously a criminal.

The book I'm talking about is called "The bone collector" and was written by Jeffery Deaver and is quite an old one but it's a really good psychological thriller.

The plot is so unpredictable and you never know what's gonna happen next. I seriously couldn't put it down! 

Actually, I've also watched a movie based on this book which was good, but not as good as the book. 
So if you're like me and you really like criminals, you're gonna love this book!

4. Favourite piece of clothing. For this one I'm actually posting a picture (not a really good one) so you can see better. I got this jumper in the beginning of February and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! I got it in C&A and it's the coziest and the most comfortable jumper I've ever had! Plus, it has the cutest print on it! Oh, and did I mention that Minnie's head is covered in glitter?! It's so sparkly and I just love it so much! 

5. Random favourite. This month I got a new phone. It's not that random, but I wasn't really planning on getting a new phone, but my old one broke so it was kinda unexpected. When I got that phone I could not believe how much faster it is compared to my old one. Everything on this phone is better than in my old one. I just love it so much. It has a really good camera, great processor speed (I'm not an expert, but my brother told me that it's good) and the most important thing... I don't have to charge it every five minutes and I don't have to worry about it dying in the middle of the day! The phone that I got is Prestigio Muze C3 and I'm really pleased with it so far.

Those are all of my February Favourites. Hope you likes this post. If you want to feel free to add a comment down below!

Love yourself

First thing first... this is not a review of Justin Bieber's song. In fact, this post is about loving who you are every single step of the way.

I thought it would be a good idea to bring up this problem because I know a lot of people struggle with this.
I have to say that I've been through the same thing a couple years ago. I felt ugly, fat, stupid, not good enough... the list goes on and on, but now I feel pretty confident about myself. Of course I still have those days when I feel down and I don't even want to leave my house, but I'm trying to get over that feeling as fast as possible and to do that you have to learn how to become your best friend.

Only you can change yourself. You have to feel good in your own body and you have to love yourself before you start loving other people. I have four steps/tips on how to start loving yourself and how to be more happy and positive.

1. Don't compare yourself to others. I think this is the most important thing in order to start loving yourself. This doesn't mean that you can't look for an inspiration in other people, but just don't try to compete with them! You are your own definition of success and the only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday. I've heard those quotes when I was working out with blogilates and they really inspire me to be a better person. Also, her workouts help me feel better inside and out! I look better, I smile more and I learnt how to love my body every step of the way!

2. Failure does not define you. It's ok to fail. Failure is a part of our lives and it doesn't mean that you're a bad person. Failures makes us stronger and we learn from them. Don't hate yourself just because you failed once or twice at something. Just keep going!

3. Spoil yourself. Take some time for yourself if you need it. We all need to be alone for a little bit. Get some "me time". Play your favorite music, read a book, make yourself a mini spa in your house. Just do something for yourself. It doesn't have to be something big. Sometimes even the smallest thing, like making yourself a cup of hot chocolate or a cup of coffee can make you feel better! It's also alright to reward yourself for your successes, even when it's a little one. Buy yourself a nice dress or a bracelet or a bath bomb because you really deserve it and don't let other people tell you different!

4. Take care of yourself as you would take care of someone you really care about. This is pretty self explanatory. When your family or your friends feel bad you don't hate on them, you help them get through that hard time and that's what you should do with yourself! Take care of your mind and of your body. Treat yourself as you would treat your significant other!

I really hope that you liked this post and that it was at least a bit helpful!

Set your mindset

In this post I want to talk about changing the way you see the world and your problems and how to live a happier life.

A couple of months ago, I decided to change my mindset and start being more positive. I saw a little quote which was about laughing when things are really tough, so when you look back at your year you're gonna think "wow, it really was a great year". I thought it was a good idea because when you can't change something, why not just laugh about it?

Now, I'm the first one to say this and the last one to actually do it. I'm still learning how to do it and I think I'm doing a pretty good job. I obviously still get stressed over the smallest things because that's just how I am, but now whenever I'm in a stressful situation I'm always looking for a bright side of it.
It's not always easy, I'm not gonna lie. Especially when you're like me and you hate when things are not going exactly how you planned them, but it is possible.

Recently I've noticed that I whenever something goes wrong instead of stressing about it forever, I just think about all the good things in life and I tell myself that it's just one small thing in my life and in a month I'm not even gonna remember it. Surprisingly, it works, not every time, but most of the times. I started to enjoy life instead of worrying all the time.

At the end of this post I just want to give you a little advice.
You can choose the way you feel. Only you can change your mindset. You choose your happiness.
I promise that when you learn how to see the bright side of every situation, your life would be so much easier.

That's it for today's post. I hope you liked and that it was helpful.
