As you have probably noticed, I have not been so active on the blog lately. That is due to the fact that I am preparing for my final exams. I must take a break so I that I can focus on that. However, I will be back at the end of July. Until then you can find me on: Instagram & Tumblr see you soon ♥

Welcome 2015! New year does also mean new things to the blog. A new theme, new projects, new name. But why a new name? The Urban Lioness as an original title of course, but, after doing some research over the internet I found out that couple of people use the exact or similar link or name for their blogs. Since I believe it is not fair to them or to myself to use the name, I have decided to find a new one. I must admit I was trying to play with word in order to obtain something memorable and exquisite.

I am going to leave you with a list of resolutions I found on the internet specifically designed for your soul. credit: can't remember were I found this; if this is yours please let me know. Thank you for reading!

Those being said, I would like to give you a sneak peak into my future posts. the monthly instamoments are going to turn into something else; I am thinking of doing a season recap for winter, spring, fall and summer of course; those will include some of my favorite pictures, moments, fashion items, movies of that season in particular; at the moment I am preparing some Christmas related posts, so stay tuned; more photo-shoots I hope; See you soon! Thanks for reading!

I am still learning how to control my thoughts, and sometimes my mind slips again into a negative state of mind. But I have accepted that is sometimes normal for me, and I do not stress it as much as I used to. After some research on the internet and from my own experience, I have a learned a few things that calm me and help me stay on track. Keep your mind occupied The bad thoughts usually come to me before I go to sleep or when I am just doing nothing. So even if I feel really lazy or unmotivated I start doing something. For example, I like writing on my blog, preparing future posts, looking at other blogs, watching YouTube videos, taking photos, having nice walks in fresh air, reading, and the list can go on.
