Hello Everyone!

I have a nice personal post for you today, we all love those, right? If you don't know who Anna Saccone is, she is an amazing YouTuber who has her own channel, as well as being a part of her family daily vlog channel, the Sacconejoly's. I absolutely love watching Anna's videos, she just a very real and honest person. Her baking videos always help me unwind after a long day and her fitness videos have been really inspiring.

When Anna released her line of zodiac necklaces I was so excited! They looked amazing and she explained how much effort she put in to make sure that we were getting excellent quality. The only reason I did not buy one right away was the price. I had recently moved from full-time work to part-time, so my money was being spread thin. Thankfully when Christmas came around my parents offered to buy one for me (bless them!) and I didn't even care that it wouldn't be shipping in time for the 25th.
 It was honestly worth the wait because this necklace is stunning! The quality is amazing and you can tell it's going to last for such a long time. I'm not a huge fan of gold, although I am warming up to it, so I went for the silver and a 60cm chain. If you're wondering, it's the Sagittarius star sign and I'm really loving it's design.

There are a few reasons why getting this necklace meant a lot to me. For starters, Anna has become a big inspiration to me. She is exactly who I want to be like in the future when it comes to family and career. She makes an effort every single day to put make up on and wear a nice outfit, which always makes you feel better. I think it's easy when you have kids to forget about yourself, but Anna seems to find a really good balance #momgoals. She also runs a successful blog along-side her YouTube channel, which always inspires me to keep working hard on my own blog. She built her career doing what she loves, and is now inspiring a new generation to do the same.

I have also been interested in astrology for the longest time and believe there is meaning to it. Usually when I read personality types of my sign they are always spot on! For example, Sagittarius hate drama, you can't corner us or we will run, and we are really observant. That sums me up pretty well! Which is why I will proudly wear my star sign.

You can buy Anna's Zodiac necklaces on Stilnest.com and they are worth every penny!

10 Things

I came across a lovely blog the other day (I'm sorry, I can't find the link anywhere!) and got inspired by what she was writing about. I'm not sure if this was the intended meaning but I am now starting a weekly series called "10 Things" where I write the top things that happened to me/I discovered and it made me happy, so I want to share it with you guys!

I'm a big believer in there being something good in everyday, even if it's just something small, like having a great cup of coffee. And far too often I respond to "What did you get up to this week?" with "Nothing much, just the usual." When the truth is I have had some pretty cool things happen, I've just forgotten to stop and appreciate them. Do you ever do this too?

So, Without further a-do, here's my 
10 Things for the past week:

1. The savior that is Powerade. Thank you for the immediate headache relief after I had contracted a cold. Made my work day possible!

2. Discovering Shaaanxo vlogs. As well as being a fellow Kiwi, Shannon has the most awesome attitude and I love her "Follow me" vlogs. Go check her out here!

3. Demi Lovato's new single "Cool for the Summer." The perfect mix of pop and techno for fun car sing-a-longs on the way to work.

4. The little things. You have no idea how much I looked forward to my first day off where I got to sit in bed with my porridge, a cup of coffee and watched vlogs on YouTube. Don't ever forget to appreciate those peaceful moments!

5. Healthy treats from Pure Cafe co. Pumpkin pie, almond yoyo's, and raw chocolate cheesecake. Oh bliss! Have a look at their Instagram

6. Second Scorch Trials trailer released. I can't explain how excited I am for this movie! The Maze Runner sequel is going to be epic. Watch it here.

7. Has book depository gotten quicker on delivery? The book I plan to read on holiday arrived way earlier than expected. Thanks guys! Wait, now I have to resist reading it for two weeks...

8. Revlon "Wild Card" #440 Gel Envy Nail Varnish. Electric blue, and it stays on (well, most of it) while I work. The color just makes me so happy!

9. Discovering new blogs to follow on Twitter. I never knew how great it was for this! Leave your twitter below and I will come say hi!

10. Tears of joy over Princess Emilia. I had some serious tears in my eyes when I watched one of the latest Sacconejoly vlogs. They went to Disneyland. She got to be transformed into a princess. It was just precious. Enjoy the sweetness here!

 I encourage you to write down 10 things that happened to you this week that made it great. I bet you had a better week than you thought!  

Let me know in the comments what's on your list this week. 

'Til next time x.
