Fruit Loop or Cheerio?

I woke up this morning and while in bed with my tea I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed as I usually do. I don't know about you, but my news feed just seems to be filled with relatives photos and strange status updates. 

However upon my morning Facebook session, I stumbled upon this photo. I don't know why, but this childish quote really resonated with me. It isn't the most highbrow of literature, but a strong quote only has to be simple in order to be effective. Firstly, I love food! So anything that has even a slight connection to food is likely to hook me in. But once I had gotten past this part of the photo I really started to think about the quote's meaning.

If you had the choice of cereal, would you pick cheerios over fruit loops? I know I certainly wouldn't. So that is how we chose our friends. We look for those sugar sweet fruit loops in a world filled with boring old cheerios. Lets be honest, our closest friends always seem to be a little bit nuts. Everyone should want to stand out from the crowd and be noticed in the world.

Many people struggle to stand out in our hectic world, getting lost amongst the masses. However one of the easiest ways to be that fruit loop in a bowl of cheerios is through fashion. Fashion is an unspoken language, that allows us to express our feelings and emotions purely by the outfit we wear. But clothes and accessories are not all it takes to stand out. The most important key that must be used to unlock your individuality is style. Anyone can follow fashion trends, but it takes a truly confident individual to go against the trends and stand out from the crowd. Setting their own rules.

Material possessions are not all it takes to stand out. Your outlook on life and the perspective you take effects whether you are a fruit loop or cheerio. The most important thing to take from all of this is to be yourself. Don't hind that inner fruit loop, and allow yourself to be a little crazy every once in a while. Go against the stream of society in order to make your dent within the world.

Dairy of a Tea Addict.

If someone where to ask me what my favourite drink was, I would answer tea without a second thought. One of the greatest ways to start a day is with a nice big cup of tea in bed. Even on the hottest summer days, I will always feel like a tea. That feeling of caressing a warm mug on a cold winters morning and sipping your drink warms your soul. Not to mention the phenomenal aromas that sprout from this cup of goodness. However there is more to tea then these feel-good reasons, as Tea brings many health benefits.

Tea contains antioxidants, protecting you from the ravages of ageing, cleansing your body. It also assists your immune system, strengthening it during winter times when sickness seems to be all around us. If you are unfortunate to contract an illness, tea assists your body fighting infection and will make your road to recovery a lot quicker. As well as this, tea keeps you hydrated, contributing to your overall  daily fluid needs. One of the greatest reason for drinking tea is that it is calorie free (unless you add sweeteners). If you are looking for a satisfying, calorie-free beverage, tea would be the drink of choice.

In life, you are either a tea or a coffee person. Most people swear by this beverage in order to help them function throughout the day. I am strictly a loyal tea drinker. A point that should be made is that tea contains severely less caffeine than coffee, but still does the trick of waking you up in the morning. So people who experience headaches, ingestion or the jitters are they drink their coffee, make the switch to tea and you will feel the instant positive change.

One of my favourite shops in the entire world to visit is T2. It is an entire shop completely devoted to tea junkies! The second you enter the store, your nose is filled with the various aromas of the hundreds of teas. As well as both ice and hot tea, there are the cutest vintage looking tea sets. However, one of the greatest things about tea is the great diversity of flavours that you can buy. There are no restrictions when it comes to tea flavours nowadays.

Polaroid Camera Love.

I absolutely love taking photos, and one of my favourite things to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon is flip through old pictures and photo albums. Like most Generation Y people, majority of the photos that I have are all digital and I rarely go to print them as hard copies. However with a polaroid camera, this hard copy of your photo captured in time is instantly produced.

This is a great accessory to add to your summer wardrobe, snapping photos of you and your friends at the beach or park. I decided upon the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 as the film is reasonably priced and easy to find, and also the colours are so cute. Also I highly recommend that you read the instructions or at least watch a youtube tutorial about how to maximise your polaroid camera's use. It has taken me a while to adjust to the cameras settings, and honestly I have wasted a few too many films.

I bought my camera off Ebay and I found a deal which included really cheap films as well. So if you are considering buying a polaroid camera, have a look around for the best deal, as there are defiantly great prices out there.
