Bright Life! Bright Life!
Fleeting side glances and burning cheeks progress into declarations of love, gift-giving, cuddles, and all those lovely things that relationships bring. We’ve seen it in every single romance ever. Hetero boy meets hetero girl, their relationship builds until some great crisis occurs, they have a break and eventually return to each other and become stronger [...]
Hey lightbulbs! A few months back, you may have noticed the not-so-subtle changes made to this beautiful blogosphere. Yōkina Living became Akarui Lifestyle and, me being the amazing chaotic wonder that I am, there wasn’t much explanation as to why that was. Well...the wait is over! This post is going to chat about the reasons [...]
Where my average Joe’s at? My losers. Failures. People who don’t win pub quizzes or get promoted; who don’t get drinks bought for them or have 10k followers on social media; who maybe struggle to say the right thing sometimes (or all the time); who always seem to be going through something; who are late [...]
Hello my little lightbulbs! You guys know that I love an early rise. Getting up early and cracking on with the day gives me such an energy boost: I'm more productive, active and positive when I'm up early and I'm always striving to be up as early as possible . This wasn't always the case [...]
Hello there my little lightbulbs! I’m back in the UK after spending a couple of months in Guernsey, a small island between the UK and France (not a town near London like I originally thought). What started as a short visit blossomed into a longer working holiday. I got a job as a bartender, travelled [...]
When seeking true happiness, the advice we always hear is to ‘just be yourself’, ‘do what makes you happy’ and ‘follow your dreams’. We already chatted about the complexities of being yourself in the last post, so we already know that this advice isn't so easy. And what about if you don't know yourself very [...]
If you've heard of ONE OK ROCK then this blog's title may be ringing a few bells for you. If not, then you're like me before I went to Japan and learned of the bilingual lyrical genius of Moriuchi Takahiro. I came to love this band for multiple reasons. Their pop-punk music nostalgia-whacked me back [...]
Social media or, as the cool kids call it, ‘socials’ has become an integral part of modern day life. It’s where we start and maintain relationships; promote and support businesses; develop hobbies and skills; stalk exes (we’ve all done it don’t worry); make unnecessary purchases and also it’s where we support and damage our mental [...]
On Sunday 25th July I attended my first ever flower show in the UK. That's it, I am officially an 80 year old in a 24 year old’s body. Seriously though, this is something I’d been meaning to try for age, since my mum had brought me up with her love of gardening and recurring [...]
I’ve been veggie since I was 15 years old, which has given me a lot of time to get used to plant-based living. It’s also a lot of time to make a gazillion mistakes. During my time as a veggie I've watched the lifestyle, along with veganism, become more and more popular. Nowadays, even fully-fledged [...]
