Film Disposables #1


Disposable cameras have quickly become one of my favourite ways to document memories and everyday events. There is something really special about how you cannot see what you are taking and it is your future self that receives the result. It takes away the moment of going back to look at the photo as you would on a phone, getting the right angles or making sure everyone looks good. With disposable cameras and film, that entire 10 mins of taking photos are taken away from your moment, replaced with time actually having fun, rather than trying to convince everyone on social media just that. What I love about this spontaneous contraption is that you spend less time documenting the moment and more time enjoying the moment. Yes, 9 times out of 10 you don't look good in the photo, but 9 times out of 10 you don't look that good in real life. Having the 1 shot being the only photograph captures a more candid and natural image of whatever you are doing. This is my 4th disposable camera film roll, a camera which I told myself to take more pictures of my friends on rather than the trees (I do like that, but people are much more interesting to photograph on film in my opinion.) I've selected a few to put on this blog, I even made an Instagram dedicated to my disposable camera photos - you can see that here. I've always used Fujifilm QuickSnap Disposable Cameras, as I find that the quality of film image is reliably great.
For now, have a scroll through these photos of mine, I love every single one of them.

How To Find Good Clothes In Charity Shops

Image
It's been a while since I've written a blog post, so hello again! I've been doing a lot of charity shopping recently, I've always done it here and there to find things for myself but now it has almost become a hobby of mine! Whilst in America, I went to dozens of thrift shops, picked up a few gems there (including some I.AM.GIA trousers for $6 - which I quite happily sold on my Depop for £50!) Whenever I tell people that I found an item of clothing in a charity shop, the usual responses are: "I look and never find anything." "How do you manage to find such good stuff?" "I would never think to look in a charity shop, isn't it just grandma's clothing?" 
So for all of you clueless shoppers, I'm gonna give you my deepest, darkest charity shopping tips all compressed into one blog post, and maybe you can find some gems too!!

1) Visit charity shops more often to increase your chances. A lot of successful charity shopping is based on l…

How To Use Depop to Buy Good Second Hand Clothing

Image
Since Depop's arrival to the online shopping world, it is becoming a key place for people to find clothing second hand (without the effort of rummaging through charity shops. Instead of feeling like you are looking for a needle in a haystack, which charity shopping can feel like sometimes, Depop has brought the search engine to second hand clothing.


If you have never heard of Depop before, it is essentially an app where anyone can list their clothes to sell to others. It is pretty similar to eBay or Poshmark, except the process of listing items is so much quicker and the user base is refined to people selling clothes and accessories. I discovered it 3 years ago and have sold over 100 items since then, alongside buying too. Therefore I feel like I know the ins and outs of how the app works and how to successfully purchase what you want for a much lower price than buying on the high street.
STEPS ON FINDING WHAT YOU WANT ON DEPOP:Step 1: USE THE SEARCH FEATURE If you are looking for …

4 Easy Zero Waste Bathroom Swaps

Image
Trying to reduce the amount of waste plastic that enters our lives can be very overwhelming. Especially if you haven't made any changes at all yet. An element of the zero waste movement that I think sometimes gets overlooked is that we should use what we already own before buying alternatives.  This means use up your shampoo, your toothpaste, use your razors until they cannot be used, use up your makeup products - before going out to buy low-waste or plastic free alternatives. I feel like this statement goes with buying any kind of new products, be sure to use what you have before buying new. For some reason I have collected multiple tubs of body moisturiser and body butter, so before I start looking for alternative options, I plan to use every last drop of them. I suggest you do the same. Look in your drawers, you may be surprised how many lip balms or moisturisers or spare toothbrushes you have accumulated and that should be used by you!
If you have used all your products, or i…
