Amazon review!

Recently I purchased this little beauty of a watch. I have quite a bad habbit (addiction..) when it comes to buying useless things through eBay or Amazon that I probably don't actually need or particularly even want that much. However, I have seen this watch going around Tumblr for a while now and always admired it from afar.. with my last watch sadly passing away (it only cost me £1.66 from eBay, I think I made a post about this aaages ago actually so it served me well but anyway) I thought, what a better time than to invest in this watch! I looked it up and found it on Instagram (you can follow me @hiyachlo if you wish) but it was from an independent store so pretty pricey. Then I found it on Amazon, if you search for "world map globe fashion watch" the first thing that comes up should be the exact watch I bought for just £3.39! I couldn't believe it!! It comes in a brown or white strap, I got the brown strap myself mainly because I thought it looked better with the gold details but the white is super pretty, too. The strap on the watch is not as small as I would like but that was easily solved with piercing another hole into the strap, that's probably because I have strangely skinny little wrists. Another problem I had with this watch is that once I had set the right time on it, for some reason it kept getting jammed and wouldn't move but that problem seems to have stopped now, although it is always about 5 or 10 minutes behind the actual time. I'm not sure if this is just my one so they might not all have this problem. But even if it doesn't work, it still looks good for display purposes. Just make sure no-one asks you what the time is!
Do you love this watch too?

I want to write about you

I want to write. I want to write about you, about us. My mind is so busy, my heart is so full and yet the words won't come out how I want them to. I want to do our love justice.  Heartbreak. I honestly believe this is the hardest thing I have ever been through and the most significant event in my life so far. And the pain - the pain is so real. I feel this empty void in the space where you used to be. Sounds so dramatic but the complete and utter numbness you've left is unbearable.  When you go through a break up, you think you'll know what to expect. I've been through it all before and I don't doubt i'll go through it again. It gets worse every time. Each time a little more of you gets taken away, each time you become a little more vulnerable and your walls go up a little higher.  When we were together, I used to imagine being without you but you can never emotionally prepare yourself for it until it actually happens, and of course you never imagine ...

The art of carrying on

This blog post isn't about anything in particular as such, but I just had one of those moments of realisation as I was packing all of my room away ready for the Summer that awaits me. I realised that sometimes carrying on is the most important thing to do, simply just carrying on. You may be thinking, "what on earth is she on about" or even "well, of course it's important to carry on!" but I realised that this really can be the answer to anything. This year has tested me more than any other. I've been thrown curve balls that no one should have to deal with. As well as this, there is the stress of work, which ultimately everyone has to deal with at some stage in their lives. This whole Uni experience has been a massive learning curve, naturally. But also aside from academic work also comes my own personal achievements. Although I am not yet the person I want to be, or even the person I was, I am still learning. And I think that alone is amazing. That ever...

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in heartbreak

Hey! So, the other day I read through some of my older posts and realised that a lot of them are about my ex (too many of them)- that was by no means my intention but it just so happens that a lot of what I want to say and a great deal of what I have learnt recently is because of that break up, I thought I should clarify that. I think it's wrong of people to say you shouldn't post about a certain topic.. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't publish? If it helps me then who are you to tell me to stop doing that? And now, amazingly, not only is it helping me but other people too. It's like if I was to post a picture of myself naked (besides the fact I wouldn't do that.. TT's on Tumblr don't count..), say, because I was having a "good body day", should people not see that and think "good on you!" (okay, admittedly at first you'd be like, what.. but you have to commend them on their bravery) because even if it seems effortless for ...
