June Favourites

Another month is gone. I can't believe we're about to be in the seven month of 2022. Is it me or is it going so quickly? I feel like it was yesterday that it was January and now we're about to enter July. It's crazy. June for me was pretty much a month of just working which is the standard adult life but it pays which is honestly the reason why anyone works to be honest. Even though I've been working, I've had a few things that are definitely my favourites and have helped me out throughout this month.  YouTubers I've been watching a lot of True Crime videos on YouTube which is just something I've become weirdly obsessed with recently but honestly, I just find them very informative, and I feel more cautious about things. There are two YouTubers that are definitely my favourites in this particular genre, but I know there are many more amazing YouTubers to watch if you're into true crime.  That Chapter This was one of the first YouTubers I watched when

Friendless In Your Twenties

Image
I'm going to be the first to say I'm not a social butterfly, but one thing I've grown to accept is the lack of friends in my life. It's sad really but I don't let it get me down because I've become such an independent person and grown to love doing things by myself. I'm going to be honest with you. The year I spent living in Manchester was probably my loneliest period because I didn't make any new friends and spent the majority of my time in my own company. Making friends in your adult life can be hard because most people have solidified their friendships and some people don't want to add new people into their circles.  It's not that I don't want any new friends in my life and I'm sure my life would be way more exciting in my life. I guess my problem is I've been let down in the past with friendships. Another problem with adult life is you're way busier with work and your days off may not match so it becomes difficult to plan to m

Rainy Days

Most people don't like rainy days but for me, I love them. Especially on a day off as it gives you the perfect excuse not to go outside. You may as well make the most of the rainy day. Here are a few things I like to do on a rainy day.  1. Make it cosy I like to go all out when it comes to a rainy day. Switch on the fairy lights. Light a candle in my bedroom and just make the room nice and cosy. Even if it means doing a little tidy up to get rid of any clutter laying about, it's worth it in the end. Especially as the inside gets dark and dull when it's rainy plus your main light may be too bright. The perfect balance is the warm glow of some fairy lights and a few candles. Plus if there is a power cut then you won't be affected as you already have candles lit and battery-powered fairy lights. 2. Read a book Honestly, being snuggled up when it's raining outside and having a good book to read is just the perfect feeling. Having the sound of the rain against the window

Red Flags

As someone who has experienced online dating and never officially having a boyfriend, I'd say I've picked up on a few red flags when it comes to dating which will be useful to anyone currently dating someone and unsure as to whether they want to make the relationship serious or not. This is just based on my own experience and every relationship is different, but these are just a few little red flags you may want to keep an eye on, just in case.  1. They don't message that often One of the biggest dating/relationship problems is communication. I'm going to admit in the beginning it's like the honeymoon stage where you're messaging each other constantly and can't get enough of it. The phase will soon die down and sometimes it may be either for a good reason or a bad reason. Honestly, if someone was really into you but life hit them in the face with a busy work schedule, they will message you to say they're busy and if they do that means they care because t

My Summer Plans

Image
As we're now heading into the Summer season, surprisingly I actually have some plans. I thought why not share my plans for the summer with you guys and maybe you can get some ideas of your own.  So these are my plans for the summer.  Holiday! I'm going on holiday in August! I have not been on holiday since 2019 and I'm so excited. I cannot wait to pack up a suitcase, get on a plane, relax by the pool, and go to the beach. Honestly, I'm so excited to be going away on holiday this summer because it has definitely been a long time coming especially after this whole pandemic. It will be worth it. Read More! I've done quite a bit of reading this year, but I just find the Summer the perfect time to read as you can get out and read in the garden, go to the beach, and read or even take a book on holiday with you. It's just the perfect time to get through your reading list and stay tuned as I'll be publishing my reading list for the summer which I am so excited about

Makeover

Hello there! You may or may not have noticed a few changes happening this past week. That's because I decided to update my entire blog and the first thing that was to change was the domain. I'm now the proud owner of  https://www.megantimeblog.com  as honestly it looks so much more like a professional website and people may take it more seriously.  Another big change is the layout of this blog. For over seven years I've had a similar layout which I was quite content with, but I also felt maybe it was a little old school and thought I'd update the layout to make this a more professional blog and way easier to navigate through. I felt this was the right time after blogging for a whole month to switch things up a bit. I hope you like the new layout.  Also, I recently got my personal Twitter locked as there was an issue with my age when creating the account. Although back when I created the account age verification was not a thing, it made me think where do I post my blog p
