#todayiam_

C O U N T D O W N 🗓 After a terrible nights sleep (thanks to the random storm that whipped up at about 9pm), I’m up ‘n’ at ‘em and on my my final countdown to my Thailand trip on Saturday • Despite a productive weekend I still have A LOT to do this week - there’s projects to finish organising at work, decorations to put up and travel money to collect • Not to mention packing to finish off • Knowing that there will be some amazing sunsets to watch next week and that it will stay up after 3.30 in an afternoon is growing to get me through though ... be ready for my posts to be all@over the place though because I’m 100% certain that the time difference is going to throw me!!!! #sunsetsniper #skylovers #ihavethisthingwithsunsets #reallifeandstyle #todayiam_ #prettylittleiiinspo (at Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6ok69hEDo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3ob4c3jh3urq

S N O W Y A Y ❄️ The snow may have stopped me from heading to meetings & the office the past few days, but it hasn’t stopped me from leaving the house • There’s something about putting on my makeup and a pretty dress that makes me feel instantly lifted • Who says you have to spend all day in your PJs if you’re working from home when you have pretty dresses like this from @cariscloset_ie hanging in your wardrobe • I don’t often feel like a princess, but I do in this dress!!!

H A N G I N G O U T 🙆🏼‍♀️ Don’t mind me, just hanging out in a bandstand, watching the world go by • Just dropping by to leave a friendly reminder that it is OK to take time off / time out whenever you need it • I used to feel disappointed in myself if I didn’t post to my schedule, if I didn’t workout 5 nights (& mornings) a week but these days if I want to just hang out instead then I will • That said I’ve managed three workouts recently that I’ve really enjoyed and I’m looking forward to getting a few more in this week • Determined to get myself feeling confident again before we head to warmer climes again! . Do you feel guilty for taking time out or embrace it? . . . . . #thisishowihueit #happyselves #girlswhowander #wherewewander #wanderingsouls #wanderfolk #girlsvsglobe #wearetravelgirls #portotravel #igersporto #igporto #portolife #visitporto #onmytravels #followmeto #travelbloggersuk #stylishandslowadventuring #beyondtheblog #instaporto #postitfortheaesthetic #pengeneration #shinyhappybloggers #under5k #brightandbreezy #exploremore #exploretocreate #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #documentyourday #todayiam_ (at Campo dos Martires da Patria porto)

W A K E Y , W A K E Y ⏰ Who else can wake up no issue on a weekend but then struggles as soon as Monday comes around • The only Monday’s I don’t struggle with are the ones filled with adventures • What I wouldn’t give to be exploring the Port Cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia again today • I’ve done this twice now, I’ve learnt something new both times and I’d do it again without hesitation • Plus the tastings aren’t bad either! . Are you a fan of Port or been to the cellars on your travels? . . . . . #thisishowihueit #happyselves #girlswhowander #wherewewander #wanderingsouls #wanderfolk #girlsvsglobe #wearetravelgirls #portotravel #igersporto #igporto #portolife #visitporto #onmytravels #followmeto #travelbloggersuk #stylishandslowadventuring #beyondtheblog #instaporto #postitfortheaesthetic #pengeneration #shinyhappybloggers #under5k #everydaywellness #exploremore #exploretocreate #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #documentyourday #todayiam_ (at Grahams Port Caves Oporto)

N O F I L T E R 📷 We often see this phrase used alongside pictures of people - naked faces, natural beauty and unrefined frames • But why don’t we share more of our unfiltered world these days • This photo will forever astonish me thanks to its vibrancy, it’s clarity and tranquillity • It reminds me of a moment that Mr D and I just stopped to take a moment, to immerse ourselves in our surroundings and enjoy the moment • I wasn’t thinking about ‘doing it for the gram’ I was doing it for the memories • No filters, no regrets. . When did you last let yourself stop for a moment to enjoy just being? . . . . . #openmyworld #goplayoutside #todayiam_ #wildernessculture #letsgosomewhere #ourplanetdaily #wildlifeplanet #keepitwild #stayandwander #pengeneration #lonelyplanet #passionpassport #shinyhappybloggers #theoutbound #under5k #explorewildly #finditliveit #icelollyloves #adventuremobile #rei1440project #blogandbeyond #colourmyeveryday #exploremore #bestvacations #natgeo #travelstoke #wonderful_places #tbloggers #tbloggersuk (at Rhodes Mandraki Marina)

V I E W P O I N T 👀 This is probably one of my favourite views of Porto • High above the city, having down at the Ribeira, the Douro and the Port Cellars • I need another adventure like this one • Over the past few days I have learnt to change my perspective ... I’m naturally a self-critical person, but sometimes instead of beating myself up I need to change things up • Suddenly I feel so much more inspired and positive towards myself, life and everything I have going on • Sometimes you just need a little nudge in the right direction and thankfully I have people looking out for me that can do that • On that note I’m going to crawl out of bed, because the DOMS are real!!! . What adventures do you have coming up? . . . . . #thisishowihueit #happyselves #girlswhowander #wherewewander #wanderingsouls #wanderfolk #girlsvsglobe #wearetravelgirls #portotravel #igersporto #igporto #portolife #visitporto #onmytravels #followmeto #travelbloggersuk #stylishandslowadventuring #beyondtheblog #instaporto #postitfortheaesthetic #pengeneration #shinyhappybloggers #under5k #brightandbreezy #exploremore #exploretocreate #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #documentyourday #todayiam_ (at Dom Luís I Bridge)
