Indian wedding.....

Hi Guys! :)

 First of all let me apologize for not uploading last Sunday. I had a very busy week; most of my week was been taken up by revising for exams coming up *I hate education -_-* and on Sunday I went to my cousins wedding which was a lot of fun!!
I have finally got a break from revision and decided to catch up with blogging :)

My cousins wedding was an indian wedding so we all got dressed up in sari's etc. it was a lot of fun and at the end all of us girls went off for a mini picture taking session ;) Here's what we came up with.....



You can probably tell we are quite mad, playing with sticks that have fallen off trees and all sorts... We had to stop in the end because a creepy old man came to watch us so we thought it would be best to leave!

Hope you enjoyed this type of short blog post where I share some of my snaps with you, see you next week

Byeeeee :)

Remember the good times...

Hi guys! :)

A couple of months ago I was having a look on tumblr and I came across this cute little jar filled with stars, I then found that they sell these jars in the online etsy store.

I decided that I wanted to make my own version of these jars so I decided to look into the whole idea. I found out that some people have the stars simply for decoration but others write wishes or good times they have had on them. I took a liking to the good times idea and started my own good times jar.

If you were wondering what a good times jar is it's a jar filled with stars or notes of any good time you have ever had, when the jar is full you open them all up and remember all those good times. It also helps if you are having a bad day and you open up one of the thoughts and remember that there are more of those coming up in the future. *this is getting very mushy, lets move on :p*



So I went to my local thrift store and brought a nice jar and a cute ribbon, I wanted to tie the perfect bow onto my jar but after trying for 45 minutes to tie a bow I gave up and went for the regular double knotted bow. (which also took me 20 minutes to tie :/)

Some people start their jars in January and open up all the notes at the end of December, but seeing as I started mine in May I thought I would open them all up when the jar is full




To make these stars is a bit fiddly, I asked my sister to teach me how to make them and its easier than it looks, write your message on the inside of the strip and then fold everything towards the writing so the writing doesn't show up on the outside. Have a look at this tutorial, but if you would like me to make a tutorial on making these stars please ask me.


My jar is sitting on my desk with my valentines balloon (which still has not deflated) and the strips have all been cut out so I can quickly make one and pop it into my jar whenever I have a good time. If you start your own good times jar, send me a picture of it on instagram (@kajalganesh) or on your blog. 
*phew that was a long one*

Motivational Month #1

Hi guys! :)

I have been inspired by Sprinkle of Glitter's  Motivational Mondays to start my own series of motivational months, this is where I will be talking about something that I feel has been motivating me every month. I don't expect a lot of people to read this, but if one person connects to at least one post in this series I shall think I have done well....


One of the things I have recently overcome is my negative mind and I slowly started to see a change for the better in my life. This is no exaggeration, I used to have a negative outlook on everything which made me really sad and angry all the time. When you let these thoughts go people around you also start to like you and want to talk to you, you are less isolated and have an open mind about things.

Think about if someone annoyed you at school, at work or at home you begin to hate them and distance yourself from them. With a negative attitude this is what happens, you start to get annoyed with every little thing they do and say. However with a positive attitude you see that everyone makes mistakes and says annoying things and that you wouldn't want others hating you for your mistakes.

What I'm trying to say is that this quote is really precise and I only noticed it's effect after I lost my negative mind, you have the power to control your life and the situations you are put into. Leave behind the negative people, even if they are your friends, they are having a negative impact on your life. Your life WILL start to get better even the littlest bit. There are times that are just complete rubbish your whole life cannot be perfect, but you will be able to think about the good times you are going to have in the future and change your life for the better!

Lets take baby steps and start with having a positive outlook on the upcoming week, if you liked this type post or have any positive things in your life at the moment leave them in the comments I would love to hear them!

Just keep swimming.....

A week in photos - Half Term

Hi guys!

So I know last week I said I would be posting every Sunday, but I was busy having a perfect day.... (blog post about this soon)

This past week has flown by! I just wish we had a longer holiday, especially when the weather in London is starting to get good!! So here are some snaps of my week....

It all started off last Sunday when I took a trip to B&Q, I thought I'd have a bit of fun by climbing into a locked children's shed and scaring some passing people (oops) // Then I got the greatest achievement of a lifetime my new highscore on the game "dots" which has basically taken over my life // Most of my week was spent revising for my upcoming exams :( // Me, cheeky selfie after work :p // Nemo and Dory and the Central London Disney store // Feeling nostalgic watching reruns of Hannah Montana // Spent the day with my abby // On the same day Costa having a sexy hot chocolate ;)

See you next Sunday....... (maybe) ;)
