 Heyyyy! I hope you are all doing well and if you are in lockdown like me I hope you are not too bored! I have decided to make the most of this lockdown and spend this extra time I have been given to focus on my health! I thought I would share with you the 2 meals I have been enjoying for my breakfast recently! Number 1... A very simple porridge! I used to hate porridge but recently I have tried the quaker oats golden syrup porridge and its a game changer! If you are wanting to be really strictly healthy I would go with a plain porridge as this one does have a lot of sugar in but.... it is 100% worth it! I have been topping it with blueberries and banana and omg just try it!!! Number 2... Banana pancakes. I love pancakes especially for breakfast but I needed to find a healthy alternative, I found these super easy delicious ones and I will link the recipe below. I am not lying to you these pancakes literally taste like banana bread and they are so easy to make! I usually get some frozen

  Heyyy! So 2021 is in full swing and so is another lockdown :) Lockdown is so hard for so many people so if you are reading this and you're struggling or just need a chat, my DMs are always open. My Instagram and Twitter is @megansvida or just give me a comment on here! I have also linked some helplines and their websites at the bottom of this post :) First of all, I'd like to clarify I am not an expert at all, I am far from it, haha but I'm just sharing things that have personally helped me and hopefully will help you too! So for months now (actually maybe years), I have been learning to love myself. I have had a love-hate relationship with myself for my whole life but that is a story for another day haha. I have been so focused for the past month on loving myself and I feel like I am finally getting there and for once I feel happy in my own skin! Okay, so I am going to stop rambling and get into my top 3 tips that have helped me!  1: Listening to empowering music  So thi

   Took this photo in the summer when we walked up a hill near my uni and I honestly love the view from the top, defo one of my favourite places! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Let's face it last year I flopped at blogging, started off well and then it all went downhill (Ooops haha). Anyway, we are over that and onto a new page today!  I know it's the typical thing to set new years resolutions but this year I just want to see what opportunities come my way and say yes to more things. At the end of the year, I don't want to look back at a list and see what I failed to achieve, cause lets face it I don't think I have ever stuck to a resolution.  There is one thing though that I definitely want to explore more and that is manifestation and the law of attraction. Have you guys heard of this or do you practice it? If anyone has any tips please let me know in the comments! I watched 'the secret' on Netflix and it was so interesting and just makes me want to research it more (highly

3 tips to being more organised

Hey! I haven't posted in ages but I have been posting loads on my insta (@megansvida) (sorry for the self-promo :) ) if that makes up for it at all haha. I have previously mentioned that I am a student nurse and recently I've felt like I have been falling behind with my uni work so I thought I'd share with you some of the things I've been doing to help myself be more organised. So if anyone feels like they're just about keeping their head above the water with coursework like me, then hopefully this post will help. 1 Keep a planner. This is very basic but I have found that having my monthly planner on my desk next to me stops me forgetting deadlines and helps me schedule everything in so most days I have time for things like the gym and downtime. 2 Make lists I am a sucker for lists, my notes section on my phone is full of them. I also keep a paper list on my desk of all the lectures I have each week so I can see what I still need to take notes on and i

New Years resolutions

Heyyy At the start of every new year, people make resolutions wether is to lose weight or eat healthily. I am someone who will pledge at the beginning of the year to lose weight and be healthy however that usually does not even last a week and for the whole year, I will wish that I could change my appearance and become one of those stunning girls you see on social media. But not this year.  I think for the first time in my life, this year I have realised that that is not what is going to make me happy. I know getting healthy and losing weight works for a lot of people and I am not discrediting that at all, it just doesn't make me happy. This year I want to change my mindset. I have a feeling its gonna be a lot harder than losing weight but I don't want to have to change who I am to be happy, why can't I be happy just the way I am and be proud of all my imperfections. This is who I am and I want to be proud of that. stretch marks? cellulite? scars? They're all

Hey! This is my first post to this blog so I’m just going to give you a little bit or background info on me and why I wanted to start this blog! I’m 18 and a student nurse, living away from home. I decided to start this blog as a little escape from the chaos of the real world. I want to be able to share my life experiences and fails (which I can ensure you, there will be many 😂) to help other people that are maybe going through the same situations as me. I have always wanted to have a blog, my own little corner of the internet where I can write a whole load of nonsense that probably won’t be read by many but as long as I’m enjoying it, which I think I’m going to, then I will regularly post content. I will be posting a lot of advice, story time and just general life posts. I honestly don’t know how people write long introduction blog posts because I have nothing more to say about my life🤷‍♀️, maybe in this new year I should pick up a new hobby to make my life sound more interestin
