So it's that transition time of the year, where Summer is winding down and Autumn is coming round. Which means it's that time again to share with you some of my favourite things I have been loving in the month of August!
TV Series
Firstly I wanted to mention TV Series's because I'll be honest, the only TV I really watch is on BBC Three as they show some cool content! I like to watch series's, whether that be on YouTube or wherever. So the TV Series I am currently loving at the moment is of course on BBC Three and that's 'Cuckoo'. I really loved the first season and was excited for it to be back on screen. However I must admit, it has taken a while to adjust to the new concept behind the show and however despite the criticism I have read online, I still find myself hooked on watching the series.
Hair Care Products With an important wedding coming up and me having ombre hair, I felt I needed to do some research into what I could do to take care of my hair better. Not just for the wedding but for general every day life. This is quite an unusual thing for me, as I am not really into beauty and hair products so it is a new area I wanted to explore.

Hey everyone, Today's blog is a little different to usual, but I think it is important to experiment with content. I want to try out new idea's on my blog, to see what works and what doesn't. So today I wanted to write about something that I have not really thought about too much until I started watching this campaign that is currently going on across the world, shown and documented on YouTube and in newspapers over the world. Ocean advocate and British endurance swimmer 'Lewis Pugh' is currently under taking 'Seven Swims', in seven sea's around the world. Today he will finish the seventh swim in London in the North Sea.
The reason he is doing this campaign is for 10% of the world’s seas - both around countries and on the high seas - to be declared marine protected areas by 2020 to safeguard fish and other wildlife.
“If we don’t do something about it, we’re going to be living in a world devoid of wonder and beauty, and frankly not sustainable. If we’ve achieved it on land, we can do it in the sea.”
'Lewis Pugh'
Lewis Pugh is very inspirational, he is another example of someone who is chasing after their dreams and doing what they love and what they want to do. Not only is he doing this but he is doing this for a good cause, something he believes in, something that we know needs to change. I think it is important to be an example to others, to do your own thing and do something to try and make a difference to raise the profile for environmental issues. Lewis has inspired me greatly with this campaign, to continue to do my own thing and continue believing and working hard.

I think the web series that has been created alongside the campaign, shows the dedication and passion of the team that are working on it and it elements the reason behind the seven swims. I think it beautifully shot and edited by film maker Ben Brown a former YouTuber, who's work is ever growing and always beautiful to watch!
I would advise you to check out the web series and learn more about Oceans and Conservation. You can watch the latest of the Swim's here!

Hey everyone, Today I wanted to share with you guy's a project that I have been working on this month and this is my E-Book 'I.N.S.P.I.R.E'. I am super excited to share this blog post with you and to give you this keep sake. This FREE E-Book download is to say thank you, as I have now reached over 250 followers on my blog! Living out your dreams or even just going through the ups and downs of life, can be quite hard especially when we are expected to constantly remain positive. As people we can sometimes feel lost and get overwhelmed with what we have to do and how far we still have to go. I know that I can be found in this situation and when I do, I like to find inspirational messages and this is often inspiring 'Quotes'. So I thought I would make a 'Daily Quote Book' for those times.
During my time as a media company owner and designer, other then previous university projects and lyric video's I haven't fully been able to experiment with typography. I think this is an important part of design and this part of design, can throw you. A lot of people including myself can overcomplicate design, but sometimes less is more and simple is the way to go. I have tried to show this in the design of my E-Book. I also tried to include a personal touch, as some of the quotes are my own!
I really enjoyed working on this project and creating another product, from a vision. I would really love to know what you guy's think! Thank you again for all the continued support and encouragement, from all my social networks. I hope this E-Book reminds you that we can achieve whatever we set our minds on, and if we lose focus, in those moments of doubt, we can open up this book and remind ourselves why, why we do what we do and that we can be successful!
My E-Book 'I.N.S.P.I.R.E' will also be available soon on both Ibook and Kindle. For now you can download it on ISSU here!
