January Monthly Sum Up 2016

2016 has started off with a bang, at the start of the month it was so busy, I really didn't feel like I had time to catch my breath to breath. I started to take blogging seriously, planing & developing my business, living the London lifestyle and trying to do university work! To catch up with Sunday sum ups head over to this area of my blog - http://goo.gl/SnflPD. I have found it really hard to write these day to day life and document them. However I am pleased to say I have managed. I don't know how daily vloggers manage it with another job. Respect goes out to them especially Casey Neistat ! I just need to try and make this into a habit!

I have also been listening to a lot of  Foals. I have listen them for years now they are my favourite band! However I have been listing to their old album Antidotes. Love Red Socks Pugi, Olympic Airways, Electric Bloom, Two steps, twice and Tron.

Favourite Place 

Covent garden has been a place that I keep going to this month, I just love apple market and all the shops around the area.

I have Been looking on Instagram & Pinterest at workspaces for inspiration I love this desk layout by @fridayafternoon_sundaymorning I love the green plants, lots of white space contrasted with black flat colours and bold type face!

Favourite event 

Going up to Leeds to visit Awesome Merchandise. They were so lovely and I really enjoyed learning and experience new field which was relevant to my area. I also loved making the videos. - http://goo.gl/btBkk9

Favourite Tv show  

It's always sunny in Philadelphia, its light hearted video that makes me laugh and I have been watchingBlack sails season two, it is the complete opposite to It's always sunny in Philadelphia, however I am enjoying watching the show. It is like Pirates of the Caribbean and Game of Thrones mashed together. 

Goals for February: 

I am now in February reflecting on last month I felt at the start of the month I was highly motivated and getting things done. Now I feel like I need to focus my attention back on my specific task. I need to over come some blocks that I have done. Also I feel I need to go back home for a little bit too see my family and spend some quality with them! I want to add more video to my blog to show in more detail what I am talking about!
