Sunshine in sept!

I'm back after a year and a half of slacking off I have decided to get back to blogging. London is so beautiful in the summer time, when the sun is shining 20-25 degrees roughly it reached on some days here this summer. So for us Londoners that was a lot of excitement in terms of hitting all the parks, bbq's and taking long strolls along Hyde park and Kensington. Not forgetting the roof top bars which get so overly packed and crowded. I spent the last day of summer visiting Buckingham palace and really admiring the beauty of it and the beautiful roads and gardens near it. Yes finally I have manage to see Buckingham palace surprisingly I had never actually bothered to go see it! So that's one thing crossed off my bucket list to see. 

Outfit details are as follows: topshop motto ripped jeans, Gap White tee, forever21 belt, and new look wedges in tan colour! 

Be happy! Stay happy! Your beautiful.

Saturday night blogging...finally getting the hang of blogging. It's actually very exciting and some what calming. 

One thing I have noticed about most ladies & gents over the years just through my own experiences and through friends & family. I have noticed that a lot of people are actually not happy from within. Most people just working to earn money & okay it's what most usually do BUT enjoying your job is something that should come from within it allows you to wake up early with that spring in your step. Makes you happy allows that bright light to shine from within you. Also it's not just career paths and jobs that make people unhappy and miserable it's general life situations to like the weather, family problems, relationship issues, money problems & so on. So when were constantly moaning about the weather or all these other problems how do we find time to enjoy life & be happy? This is a question I have always asked! It's a simple quick answer stay happy, believe in yourself, stop moaning and complaining just be happy and stay that way. 

Today I will touch on happiness & really how you yourself can make a change to your life and become a more happier, calm and positive person. I will start off by sharing & revealing a very private time in my life which is extremely personal to me & was a very hard time in my life. I'm hoping I can make a change by sharing my experiences. Helping people gain constant happiness is always a positive thing! 

At the age of 16 I started working for a supermarket called "sainsburys" earning only minimum wage working 2 days a week. Family problems & seeing my parents struggle really opened up my eyes at such a young age. I decided I wanted to make a change to my home life by becoming independent and earning my own money so my parents would not have to ever say no to anything I wanted as I simply just bought it myself. I worked at sainsburys from 16-20 so all throughout my last year of school & collage managed to buy my own first phone SIM card & credit. Oh how the Nokia 5110 & 8310 were amazing phone! 

Then I entered uni & new job career paths came through. Throughout university I had like 3 jobs all part time. So the point is I'm now 27 and from the age of 16 I have always worked either 1 job or 3 part time jobs. All I have ever known is hard work & paying for myself and never depending on anyone but myself. 

So anyway after graduating university with excellent grades 2.1 and only a couple points away from a first yes....couple points away. I sadly became jobless !!!!! Yep you heard right every adults nightmare and their reactions to it.....ohhhh nooooooo panic panic red lights shining bright!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!! 

 I spent all my days & hours stuck in front of a computer screen frantically job hunting & applying for jobs. Applying for nearly 20-40 jobs daily, that's when life really hits you hard. No job, no money & having spent most my earning always on family helping with bills etc. I had nothing of my own saving wise yes nothing not a penny to my name and to top it off a huge university loan dept. a time like this comes in everyone's lives you either choose to rise above it or go down with it. 

So did I rise above it or go down with it well....that even you can guess........????? I'm still here ain't I? 

That's right I choose to rise above the stress, those dreadful long online applications, constantly being rejected when applying online & not forgetting those interviews you attend all smartly dressed to then come to know you got rejected! Yes I ignored it all. Every morning I would wake up & think to myself "Priya" are you really going to let being jobless tear you down and eat you up inside. Or are you going to fight back and take what's yours by taking charge & believing in yourself 100% and not taking no for an answer! Hell yeah!!!!! 

I would always prep talk myself always every morning & every night before I go to sleep I'd tell myself how proud I was for coming this far and achieving so much in life at such a young age. I didn't have thousands of pounds in the bank but the key essential things I learnt from life were survival. Hard times. Seeing my family struggle & my biggest life lesson was visiting India in 2000 with my family and seeing these poor children in India working day & night to just be paid less then £1 a day. My mother made us stay in a old home were you'd have to fill buckets of water up at 5am in the morning for bath time & cooking and drinking etc or no water all day. This is how they live in the poorer villages in India & this was a lesson my mother wanted to teach me and she wanted me to learn from this and appreciate how great my life was in London & how much I should be appreciative to my surroundings and life. 

Everything I have experienced in life has made me the strong confident women I am today. Some times the weaker side to me comes back but I quickly prep talk myself & assure myself it's just a faze I'm going through snap out of it. I illiminate all negative thoughts from my mind. Even when it comes to friends I never think negative or bad. I always take what everyone says as a way of learning "maybe that's how they see life or certain things". 

Never allowing anyone to control my life or feelings and to have that self belief and control over my own mind and thoughts has made me so much of a stronger human being, confident women, happier because I'm so confident in myself and everything I do. It's so important to believe in yourself tell yourself how amazing you are and how proud you are and repeat that to yourself and you'll see the difference. Never allow anyone to control your feelings and upset you. Be happy and positive from within and you'll automatically see how amazing life is and how people change around you. Positive energy always attract more positive energy! And remember if someone is negative that is around you and it's a constant thing educate them or get rid of them. As a negative persons aura will always bring you down & will never make you happier. Life's not all about making money it's about enjoying life to the max & doing it with those you love. 

Stay happy! 😉 make those changes become happier!

Now soon as you log your details in & pay for the item they store your details & charge you a monthly charge of £30.

Finding the perfect fit jeans

Ok so this is my first post and after scribbling down loads of ideas to blog about for my first post. I thought about my latest shopping trip I went on & thought ahhh perfect blog post. 

So I decided to go shopping after ages as I needed jeans perfect comfortable good quality jeans. And after reading kareena kapoors latest book on fashion (A diary of a Bollywood diva) available to purchase on iPhone iBooks or amazon. She definitely gives a lot of detail on how to find the perfect jeans which ones to go for etc. yet the ones she mentions obviously sky high price so obviously for the average working girl not good. She does mention Levi's jeans now these are a classic staple to have yet I found I didn't like their fit. I have been addicted to hollister jeans since I discovered them back in my uni days so around 2009. Their fit was perfect, comfortable, stretchy and didn't fade in washes & size didn't shrink. Win win! Yet when I went into hollister recently I found their jeans had been made at a rather low rise so just above your lower modesty line & that's defo not a good look. Also found them extremely unbreathably tight fitting & not comfortable which was very strange as I own like 6 pairs. So I thought maybe their manufacturer has changed or simply just this time unlucky me! 

I took a browse around so popped into new look tried on their jeans totally a big fat NO for me being a size 23inch waist is not fun no where sticks your size it was so frustrating. New look did yet they didn't fit the size 4 was to tight and size 6 to baggy. Annoying! 

Next up was topshop now they had some amazing jeans in the petite section size 4 and 6 perfect fit yet I found they made my legs look rather skinny like a lot slimmer then they are...so not the look I was going for. 

So instead I popped into river island and usually river island jeans & trousers are so not to size they always run so big like I found in the past their size 6 was a size 8. But this time I was so lucky I found 3 pairs of jeans that fit so well oh my god yes fitted, comfortable, stretchy & not to low waisted. Love love love. I think these were high waisted it didn't state it yet I think they defo are as they come above my belly button. They were £40 each so I picked up 2 pairs. And had to resist the 3rd pair for next pay day.
