Day in the Life - Icelandic Holiday

As some of you may know, I recently went on holiday to Iceland with school. As a part of the Secret Blogger Project, we have to do a day in the life post. So, I decided to talk you through one of my days out in Iceland.

After getting up and dressed we headed to see the first of three waterfalls this day. This one was so beautiful, but you did get a little wet as the water was so powerful.

We had to climb up 429 stairs (yes, we counted) at 9;30 in the morning to get a better view. It was a challenge, and I'm not quite sure if it was worth it!

 Iceland is surrounded in snow this time of the year, so we did a little bit of snow angel-ing!

With the next waterfall, we were lucky enough to be able to walk behind it. It was an amazing sight.

Don't mind the water drops all over the above photo!

 We then stopped at a location of one of the Games of Thrones scenes but the snow was a little more exciting (I don't watch Game of Thrones, so I didn't go up to take a picture).

The last waterfall we went to see today was two adjoining waterfalls. I personally thought this one was the most beautiful of them all.

We did a quick stop at a horse shelter type of thing. In Iceland, horses are really popular as Icelandic horses as they can do an extra type of walk (I'm not a horsey person myself, but research it if you're interested).

Our last stop this day was at the Reykjavik cathedral. This is probably the most amazing cathedral I've ever seen. It was a little hard to get all of it into a picture though!

I hope you enjoyed this post, its very different to my average post. Let me know if you'd like to see some more day in the life posts. I will have another post all about Reykjavik coming soon so keep an eye out for that!

Spring Has Sprung - DIY

I'm back again with yet another Spring post. In todays Spring Has Sprung post, I am going to be giving you DIY inspiration for this season.

Yarn Ornaments-

I tried this DIY out twice and failed twice. With my first method, I forgot to add vaseline and on the second, the sugar water didn't really work. Anyway, I have a great tutorial for you to try out here which you can try out and hopefully do a little better than me.

Bulb/Milkbottle Vase-

I saw this on pinterest and thought it was the cutest thing, so creative. I have these little milkbottles that I put some flowers in and they turned out really well.

Mason Jar Lights-

I took a picture of fairy lights in a jar as inspiration. I put some of my own fairy lights in a jar and then lit it up and I love it. Something else you could do is paint little things on the mason jars (mine didn't turn out too good).

I hope you've enjoyed this little series of mine, I really enjoyed making it. I will hopefully be doing one for Summer in a few months too.

A Simple Act of Kindness

On a day to day basis, how many "acts of kindness" do you do? What do you class as an "act of kindness"?

"A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person or people wishing either to assist or to cheer up an individual person or people."

I believe that it's important to do a simple act of kindness at least once in a while. From the 9th to the 15th of February is the Random Acts of Kindness Week (#RAKWeek). This post is a little late for that (I will explain the reason for that after) but I thought today I would just write a little post to talk about random acts of kindness and the act of kindness I did to inspire you.

After a little research, I decided for this post I would write a letter. Something that isn't very common these days, but I found the website The World Needs More Love Letters. Its basically a website where people "nominate" someone and give a little story about why you should write a letter to this someone. Check out the website, and that last sentence would make a little more sense!

Anyway I have written a letter for someone on there and hope to send it soon. Its a lovely simple act of kindness that will only take a few minutes.

My Last Secret Blogger Project Post

10 Things I Love

Today's post is going to be a Valentines special and is to do with the Secret Blogger Project. In this post, I am going to be talking about 10 things I Love. From Make-up to Films to Activities. So lets get right into it-

1. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

This is something I ramble on about in nearly all of my posts, but I just love it. I'm surprised I haven't done a review on it yet! The application and quality is so amazing.

2. Seasons

I love seasons. I love that in the Summer I can go to the beach and enjoy myself. I love that in the Winter I can snuggle up with a hot chocolate around the fire. I love that in Autumn I can wear the cutest outfits. I love that in Spring I can go for beach walks. Obviousy, there are pros and cons to each season but I just love the opportunities that different seasons give.

3. The Fault in Our Stars

I may have only watched and read it once, but that is because I'm scared that I may cry too much if I either read it or watch it again. I think the whole internet is in love with this story, but can you blame us? 

4. Photography

I love photography because it captures moments. You can make those moments last longer. It is also an art that I love to try out. I have had a few requests to do more photography posts so there will be some coming your way soon!

5. Friends and Family

Spending time with friends and family really matters to me. Yes, I do spend most of my time not socialising and spending my hours on my laptop in my room. But when I do go outside of my room, I love spending time and socialising with my friends and family. I don't know what I would do without them. 

6. Instagram and YouTube

Both of these are a serious addiction that I don't plan on giving up any time soon. YouTube doesn't need an explanation as I'm sure that most of you are addicted too. Instagram is probably my favourite social media app. I love connecting and posting edits etc. I love talking with my followers.

7. Netflix

On the same line with addictions, Netflix is another. I normally can't go a day without watching an episode of Pretty Little Liars. Hard core fan (not really, but I've always wanted to say that!).

8. Where I Live

I'm not going to tell the internet where I exactly live for the sake of this post, but I do love it. Although we could do with more shops, I love the beach and places around here. I love who else lives here and the activities to do here.

9. Isles of Scilly

This is a holiday destination that I have been going to annually for the last three years. I love it to pieces. I love exploring the islands and the things there. Everything thing about it has a big place in my heart.

10. You

I love blogging and I love talking to my readers. Seeing your comments makes my day. I love the fact that I can write posts like this and hear positivity thanks to you.

I hope you all enjoyed this post. This post was to do with the Secret Blogger Project -
