Film Disposables #2

This disposable camera post is long overdue, but I still feel like posting it. There is something very special to me about film photography - it feels more nostalgic and representative of the memory in my head. One picture to capture one moment, rather than 30 of the same thing. Using a disposable camera creates a realistic version of a memory, rather than an overly posed or fine tuned version. In this way, they represent reality. They aren't really in order to be honest, but that doesn't matter as they are all individual snippets of moments. Although these photos may have no personal significance to you, I hope you enjoy looking through them. If you are featured in these photos, I love U xx

How I Sold Over 200 Items on Depop

Image
Selling on Depop can seem time-consuming and difficult, but I think with some practice and the right approach, anyone can be successful on the app! Yes, there are more users on Depop than when I first started out, but instead of looking at it as 'more competition' you should look at is as 'more potential customers'! Learning how to sell on Depop is a process. I started selling on Depop in 2016 and haven't stopped since, and here is how I sold over 200+ items since then. What is Depop? Depop is an app where you can primarily sell and buy second hand clothes - though it is also used to sell/buy other items such as books/cds/home-decor. There are approximately 13 million users on the app, with a generally younger age demograhic than eBay or Vinted ( other places you can buy second hand clothes .) The format is very similar to Instagram where you have a 'grid' profile with 3x3 squares and a 'feed' showing the recently posted items of people you

Minimalism for Beginners & FREE 14 Day Challenge PDF

Image
Minimalism is something I discovered after watching this documentary (available on Netflix) on the topic. I was immediately hooked. This alternate way of living completely flipped the ideas pushed onto us by advertising and social media, and created a lifestyle out of it. As a Christian, I can reference many things in the bible which talk about living in this alternate manner, and not relying on the things in our world - 1 John 2:15 "Do not love the world, or the things in the world." While this verse is addressing societal desires/morals and the world separated from spirituality, I also view this verse in the way of material possessions. We should love the relationships we form with others, our experiences and ability to give love and kindness to others - we shouldn't base our happiness on material items: clothes, stationery, phones, shoes and everything you can see around you right now. By placing our value on the items around us, when we are removed of those

Why I Stopped Wearing Makeup

Image
I can't remember the last time I wore a full face of makeup. My best guess would be my year 13 prom, which was nearly a year ago now. I was never really someone to 'glam up' everyday, and I haven't worn foundation ever! The most makeup I would wear at once would be: concealer, powder, highlight, blush, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, eyebrows and maybe liquid eyeliner if I was feeling up to it. And that would be a special occasion. If we throw it back to 13 year old Ella, who wore black winged eyeliner every day to school. I used to love it, it was my art, my known skill and something that I enjoyed doing in the mornings. So I understand why makeup is so loved by everyone! I won't deny that the feeling of getting ready and being able to approach the day with confidence was fulfilling. But it sometimes felt like I needed it for confidence in my apperance, an external support of my confidence that I was relying on. Filling in my eyebrows was always the biggest co
