How well can a fish breathe out of water?

Hello!

Something I was thinking about earlier today was to do with judging people and deciding who's 'better' than us. Just a point that stuck in my head was:

     We can't judge how competent a fish is based on how well it can breathe out of water.. or how competent an elephant is based on how well it can squeeze in a small hole..

You get the picture.

We as humans are all unique, so naturally our degree of talents will vary. Some of us might be good at something which others are not, and others might be good at something we aren't! I feel that in certain societies people fail to recognise skill if it doesn't correlate with the 'norm'. We are all so hung up on what the media shows us and pleasing others, that we forget what actually matters and in fact.. sometimes people's opinions don't matter.

This often leads to an individual having false-beliefs about themselves and low self-esteem :( Everyone IS special and fantastic in their own way. And so long as you have a good heart and no bad intentions I don't think you have to worry. If you reading this right now, feel a victim to negative judgement, then please don't worry. There's so much to smile about and be happy about.. you're here alive and a wonderful person! It is essential to ignore and disregard pointless and futile comments that only have the intention to put to down. I'm telling you, you're a fabulous person. Accept it. Okay. Good.

Let this photo of my uncle's kitten trying to sleep in his slippers cheer you up..!


Okay well that was my random serious moment!
It's late now, goodnight!

Olivia Burton watch

Hello everyone!

So I'm finally here writing my first blog post! I don't really know how things work in the blogging world, but I've decided to continue this blog at least till the end of summer 2014, just to see how things go. I'll be blogging about whatever I feel like really, and there may well be random posts.

So a little about me.. Well, I recently graduated from University and I'm an enthusiastic and bright individual. I love all things vintage and I'm obsessed with watches! So to start off my first post I'd like to bring to attention a recent discovery.. Olivia Burton watches. 

Olivia Burton provide a variety of beautiful vintage inspired watches, at an affordable price. They are fairly new but fast growing. I purchased their beautiful mink hummingbird watch.


It cost £72 and can be purchased directly from their site or various other places (which are conveniently listed on their site). I bought mine from Topshop as that meant free delivery (yay!) They also offer student discount for any students out there!

It is rose gold plated with a mink leather strap. It has a big dial but still looks elegant and oh so delicate. I have fallen in love with hummingbirds now! The light colours mean that it will match with most things, and is great for any reason. They have many other gorgeous watches which I would definitely recommend looking at. I just wish I could buy more! Well technically I could, but then I'd be broke.. oops.

So that ends my first blog! I hope you enjoyed reading, take lots of care! 

Much love, 
Ayesha


UPDATE ON WATCH FEATURED ABOVE: I had to return this watch as within 2 weeks the gold plating started to discolour and come off (despite of caring according to instructions provided in box).. But I believe I had gotten a faulty item. So with that confidence, I ordered another Olivia Burton watch, but this time a different model from a different shop (just to be certain). I have reviewed it here.
