What to do if you're uninspired



So the story kinda goes like this ...

You have a dream. 
On the way to achieving that goal the 'dominoes' you carefully placed start wobbling. Every time you adjust a few, another shakes. Then JUST when you thought you had everything in check, they all go crashing down. 
defeated.

Now you're exhausted, bored of everything and most importantly uninspired.
You're at a point where you feel so drained.
You see everyone doing things with their life but you struggle to take the steps to pursue anything for yourself.



Here are some ways to snap out of your lack of inspiration


Accept

First step to moving on, is accepting what has happened. Believe me its easier said than done! However YOU are in control. Do not allow loss, pain or negativity to carry on in your life.
Write a list
Buy a cute notepad and write down the things you want to do, start or even finish. make this notepad become your love pad. scribble your ideas and aspirations in it and begin to set goals.


Create a mood board 
A mood board is an arrangement of images, materials and text. You should include things you are passionate about, things you would like to try and where you see your self in the future. You can create them online or make one at home, just remember to mount it somewhere visible. This is a great way to keep you motivated on a daily basis. 
Try something new
Get on wowcher and pick an activity you'd never think of trying and do it. Join your local gym, go speed dating or even start a business venture.

Connect with people
Put yourself in a position to meet new people. Ask a stranger how their day was, go to networking events etc. Find and follow organisations you are interested in on social media, you seeing them post may encourage you to get the ball rolling.

Get creative

Do something that requires you to stop thinking and start doing. This could be re decorating, writing or painting.
Let God
Most importantly when experiencing all of these negative feelings, seek God. 
Pray when you feel hurt, confused and lost. Keep him in the center of everything whether its your job/career or marriage. Do not let your feelings rob you of praising God when things arent going well
Don't limit yourself
You can only grow if you're willing to feel uncomfortable.
 Aim high, do not plan on achieving the 'easiest' goals. Set out to achieve the biggest dream you have. Challenges are inevitable and that's why perseverance is a major key. You need to understand that only you can create the change you want to feel or see. Know that you are capable of anything you put your mind to. It may not happen over night but if keep pushing that dream it will surely happen.


really hope this helps

How to up your denim game 









Photography by Harmony





Here are 3 simple ways to up ya denim game...
Double it. So there was this unwritten rule that once said you shouldn't wear two denim items at once but guess whatttt... It's 2016 (plus it's never that deep) so get layering that denim. If your new to the trend or worried about looking excessive try pairing denim with other shades of blue to mimic the look.




Do it yourself. Revive it. Yes honeys, Time to get those tools out and bring life your own denim. 


  • If you have mum jeans try cutting them into shorts. This will create the perfect high waisted shorts for summer.
  • Create accessories from old denim like chokers and bracelets. 
  • Cropped jeans from skinnies.
  •  Badges and patches are everywhere, add a few to your denim jacket. Ebay have a variety at reasonable prices so check there first.
  • Splash paint on your jeans. Learn how to create this look here
  •  Create bags/purses from those jeans that are too small. 
  • Distressing takes *turns around cardi b voice* forevaaaa but that hard work will defo save those coins and it will be according to how you like it.

Experiment. Buy some new denim. how about denim boots? (if you have $$$$ to spare here are the RIHANNAxMANOLO denim beauties) a cropped denim jacket? Perhaps denim in your favourite colour? Whatever it is, TRY SOMETHING NEW. It doesn't have to be from a high street store either, There are loads of people getting rid of unwanted and even unworn clothes. Check out places like Depop, Asos market place and your local vintage store for some hidden gems.

THIS boohoo co-ord was 110% a must have item.

I cant even explain it, it is me all over!

ok ok. let me stop

Tips & Tricks

  • Backpack's are the perfect type of bag for this season. Take a look at these LA MODA beauties. Too good black faux suede mini backpack & Back 'n forth black backpack
  • Want to dress it up? Although your feet will be mostly covered, I  would definitely go for a mule or pointed heel
  • Accessorise this outfit with loads of rings, a simple arm cuff and a cute chocker. Primark always have nice sets of (inexpensive) rings. If you don't have a choker make one, (blog post on that coming soon)

BACK AT IT AGAIN








Damn Danni... back at it again with the blog posts. 

"You haven't blogged in ages"
"When's your next blog post" 

Bruh. 

I began this blog last year with hopes of being consistent
 *spits drink out and laughs*
 THAT failed miserably. 


So what have I been up too... 

I have been a busy bee.
If i'm not working or dealing with my energetic two year old, 
i'm planning/perfecting future plans.
But i can tell you that the busyness (is that even a word?) has paid off as i have started my very own businesssssss. How exhilarating! 

& most importantly I have taken time to work on me.
Me me me me meee
(ima save this topic for an actual post)


As you can see I have changed the name of my blog. I made that change simply because I have more to offer than just my 'wardrobe'. 
I want to share my experiences, motivate and help others. 

& i cant wait to do just that.
Don't threat! I have loads fashion posts for yaa.

So stay blessed and stay tuned peoplesss
