Nothing beats the combination of black and white. Honestly, tell me a better combo! Can you ever lose when wearing this colour and this shade together. I always feel dressed up when I combine the two and this shoot was no exception. Continuing with the trend of wearing what was already in my closet, I realised I hadn’t shot this blazer that I hadn’t actually worn it out before so it made sense to create a look with it.
I’m having too much fun with these titles, but more so; I am really enjoying experimenting with different looks. Much like the yellow look before. I opted for pieces in my wardrobes that were not a co-ord and were instead separate pieces; all purchased from different places. I love colour blocking and I particularly enjoy doing this with bright colours as opposed ro light shades and pastels.
I did mention a few blog posts back that I have really stepped up my style lately. In my opinion; I’ve always known how to dress but when I stepped into my 30’s I started to REALLY work on my personal style. I think this has come out a lot more this year from the shoots I did with Katie Ryan Creations and some of the earlier shoots I did with my mum. What I realised however is that I hadn’t shot many formal outfits. One’s where I show how I dress up smart!
was going to name this post “Levelling Up” as this is what always comes to mind when I go to afternoon tea. I love the feeling it brings and it reminds me of why I keep pushing and working on this blog and my other ventures. What it would be like to go to afternoon tea whenever I wanted and to review various swanky hotels and seeing what they have to offer. I am blessed with the fact that I ran my own online magazine for 8 years which afforded me the luxury of reviewing ALOT of different afternoon tea venues. Yet, that was then and this is now and I really want to take sashashantel.com to next level and to review more venues like these.
Stress can arise from various things such as the demands of your job, juggling your daily responsibilities, past experiences, etc. However, how you deal with stress can make all the difference. A study revealed that about 1 in every 14 adults in the UK feel stressed daily. Handling stress takes an intentional effort, and here are some things to avoid when doing so.
As we move further into November, the new year is almost upon us, and this means it’s almost time to start making those dreaded New Year’s Resolutions.
To be honest with you, it feels surreal typing this as I have worn Adidas clothing my entire life, though strangely; since lockdown last year I have found myself purchasing more of their clothing. I have always appreciated the quality of their sportswear and find the price point very affordable; especially for a leading sports brand.
I can honestly say that my periods have played a massive part of my life for many years. I have always had heavy, painful periods and have missed key events in my life from sports days, to friends weddings, had days off work and even had incidents as serious as missing an exam at university. It has been the making and breaking of me as, by having heavy periods I have really had to pay more attention to the food I eat as it often heightens the pain I have each month; if I so happen to eat too many sweet treats!
It can be something that not many of us take time to do, as we have a lot of other distractions in life. With work and family life, it can be much easier to just sit down at the end of the day on your phone, but scrolling Instagram and watching Netflix don’t class as a hobby! When you have a hobby that you like to indulge in, then it can be something that gives you a lot of pleasure, as well as help to reduce stress as you can switch off. Depending on what hobby you choose, it can help your health, both physical and mental, so who doesn’t want to have that?
