As I sit here being pensive and drinking my cup of coffee, like I do religiously every morning. I ask myself how is it that no matter how often you follow the same regimen, life and the world around you is still changing in the blink of an eye. You wake up one day - and it's not the same world you were living the day before. One minute you are on a path where you have certain things, and put your faith into it and the next you find yourself starting from scratch, on your own, with different people in your life, with a different direction and most scarily not knowing what your next move is. Change is clearly inevitable - I'm starting to realise that it is out of our control and that at the end change is the only constant in this twisted beautiful life of ours.

Loss is a part of life which as much as we dread and try to avoid is something that we all endure at some point (and many points). Daily, someone around us is experiencing it, be it from a lover, a friend, family member or even a loved animal. It makes you realise how precious our time is and the time of others, and that we should make the most of it and not take anything for granted because before we know it it vividly all becomes a memory.

I never quite understood being in the moment and living in the moment up until the last few months. With meditation and yoga it has definitely kept me on my feet and kept my sanity, but it also has helped me to not dwell on the past, think about the future and just enjoy your surrounding at that given time - sure it's easier said than done but applying this to my everyday life has made me realise that it's the only way you can truly take in life, and all the positive around you. I'm sure there'd be a bit of negativity lingering on in the background, but it doesn't matter because you find a way to foresee it. It's okay to be scared, it's okay to be afraid of loss, it's a part of life that we have to take on and somewhat, makes this world so beautiful that we have something worth living for and/or got to experience.


MONDAYS & EVERYDAY'S MOTTO: IF IT'S NOT GOING TO MATTER IN FIVE YEARS TIME DON'T SPEND MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES UPSET ABOUT IT. 

DISCLAIMER: Due to the wrap being thin I  recommend a dry mozzarella, so that it doesn't weigh down and sog the tortilla further which will enable you to lift it up. 

HOW TO:

I garnished the top with the green olive slices and fresh basil and parsley. I would have used oregano fresh or dried if I had any which is the signature herb for pizzas - I obviously forgot to buy, although let me say you won't even realise the herb is absent but it can only compliment this dish even more. 

Just add it in the oven for literally five minutes. I would keep an eye on it as you want the tortilla to golden a bit and get hard but you don't want it to burn either which is very possible to happen in a flash!

Just dig in & enjoy.... You might have thought that this doesn't count as a real pizza because it doesn't have the same effect as the real thing - here is proof that you can pick it up with your hands and eat it like a real pizza too. Obviously just keep in mind you can't go to heavy with toppings as the more you add the more you will weigh it down. As far as the taste goes it's ALL there!

What's your fave alternative to a pizza? 

(Stripe T-shirt, Coat, Overalls, sunglasses - ZARA, Shoes - Adidas)

Who else wants to declare their loves for stripes? I have always been drawn to them -  the first thing in a store that always catches my eye is the black and white swathe which for me is my own way of playing with 'colour' when adding it to my wardrobe . As I love incorporating black in my daily outfits, I find my pop of colour and statement pieces with these small touches - which in this ensemble are the stripes and metallic retro sunglasses. Sure these glasses are not something I would wear everyday, yet change is good and it compliments this outfit in a different way and gives it an edgier look which is what I wanted to go for - even if the sun is not strong enough, I just like to have them on my head or hanging off my top to still give that something extra.


Following my Instagram account, I returned back to Paris for a long weekend and wore this outfit when I had a day of strolling the parisian streets,  I always feel so good when I return and I wanted to mirror how I looked on the outside with how I felt on the inside yet, still being comfortable enough in the process to allow me to take in  all my surroundings without complaining of blisters (we've all been there). As I had mentioned in my previous blogpost, it's a little trickier to pack a limit amount of clothes and getting an outfit which is fashionable yet comfortable at the same time. These overalls are perfect because they take up little space and act as a 2in1 for top and bottom. I decided to wear my Stan Smith trainers to go with this look although it was mainly out of comfort, I love this urban chic look that it gave. These shoes are a staple in my wardrobe and go with so many different outfits which is a key item when travelling.
