Friendship

Hello again!

This week has been a bit mental for me and I've been having a lot of plans with my friends as they are all back from university. But just being around them all makes me realise how lucky I am.

 I may not have that many friends and I'm pretty sure I can count how many true friends I have on my hands. The fact is that we should all treasure the moments we have with them.  

  With my friends being away I don't get to see them as much as I would like to. So when we finally see eachother it's wonderful. We are completely crazy and act like a bunch of idiots but it's like I saw them all the day before. 

  So I don't forget these memories I have decided not only to take photos and snapchat them or tweet them but also to get them all developed. 

  I've bought a new scrapbook dedicated to my crazy, awkward teenage phase. I'm sure when I'm older I will not understand why I wore that top and what face I was trying to pull but it doesn't matter.

  For me scrapbooking is a way to keep all those memories in one place and make sure I never forget them. It also makes me treasure every memory and photo i do have. 

  Treasure every moment you get with the special people in your life. The ones who you can be yourself around, look like crap and act like a complete maniac around because these people are the ones who you can go to with any problem and with a wave of their magic wands suddenly make everything seem better. To anyone reading this who is my friend, this is for you, I love you all so much.

Love,
Phoebe Eve

The Hideaway

So currently I am writing this post on my iphone in the middle of a cove and right beside a natural waterfall. I'm in Cornwall on holiday and had the inspiration to post.

We came here at the start of our holiday when it was raining and a bit miserable but it was still beautiful. It's now our last day and we have come back now the suns out!


I'll add some pictures to this post because it's so beautiful.

This week away we've not had amazing weather but we've been on loads of walks and I've barley had signal except for when I am at our little hideaway.  It's been really nice because I think I've been able to switch off from everything else and be around my family and nature. I know that sounds rather cheesy but it's true.

I've just noticed that without being on social media much except for occasionally checking in with my bestfriends and posting some 'arty' pictures on Instagram. But by being away from it just for a little while I've felt free and my confidence has built. Maybe it's because I haven't been overwhelmed by lots of fitness things popping up telling me to loose weight and 'get in shape'.

For the first time in ages I'm actually confident to wear denim shorts and not feel uncomfortable or conscious of what people may think. Because now I really don't give a crap what anyone thinks as long as I am comfortable in my own skin.

Maybe if you've been feeling like you have to have that bikini body because certain media sources tell you and if you feel pressured to look a certain way then turn off your phone and your laptop and just get away for a few days. Go on walks listen to music and spend time with people you love and you may start to feel a little different.

Hope you're enjoying the summer,
Love,
Phoebe Eve
