First EVER blog post.

Hi everyone my name is Paige! 

So this is my blog... my first ever blog and therefore my first ever blog post! I have been putting off writing this post for such a long time because, to tell the truth, I've been nervous!
I've wanted to start a blog for a while but never knew where to start. It was tough to find a theme that I wanted for my blog. I mean, I'm interested in lots of things: beauty, fashion, photography, travel, culture, literature, health etc. etc. BUT I would not have the faintest idea on how to blog about those things! Putting it shortly, make-up is gorgeous but ask me how to contour and I'm gone. 

So you see my dilemma? Where the hell do I start?! Maybe a lifestyle blog? Maybe a 'bit of everything' blog? Those ideas came to me and I figured that's where I wanted to go with it. But again, I was still unsure on how I wanted to make my mark, what I was going to do to put my own stamp and passion into the blog. 

Happy. Simple. Free. Three things that everybody wants right? Everybody wants to be happy, everybody wants things to be simple and everybody wants to be free. I know I do. And that's what I wanted to bring to my blog. I want to blog about EVERYTHING. Happiness, mindfulness, religion, culture, books, films, music, animals, health, fitness and everything in between. But I want my posts to be inspiring, to be positive and to be happy I guess. 

The idea for this blog came to me one morning; for what reason? I have no idea! Let's just call it a 'Hector' moment for those who have seen the film 'Hector and the search for happiness' (admittedly a lot of inspiration for my blog has come from that film). I felt like I wanted to do something different with my life! Don't get me wrong I am happy with my life right now. I'm doing well at uni, I have a hugely supportive and all round AMAZING boyfriend (shoutout to you Tim), I have friends that are inspiring, I love my crazy family and in general I'm grateful for everything that I have. But nobody has a smooth journey, there are always bumps along the road. And my bump in the road was the motivation I needed to do something worthwhile with my time... writing a blog. So here I am.

For anyone reading this, I want to know what is it that makes you happy? Comment below! 

I hope you enjoy reading my blog posts and feel free to comment below if you like it... and if you don't! I value any comments especially being a newbie! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my first blog post, I look forward to writing more! 

Lots of love
