think pieces
My friend Kelsey and I sat in a coffee shop surrounded by a wall of fake plants and aesthetically pleasing magazines carefully placed on the table beside our oat milk lattes. We sipped away the impressive latte art and endlessly laughed, as Kelsey used a napkin to write a list of all the... wanky things I said.
The list included sentence such as:
I like words and I've always been a fan of a good quote, usually the cheesier, the better. However, this is something I've often felt embarrassed by. Very few people can pull off cool girl vibes while writing poetry about the boys they fancy, and banging on about the law of attraction.
But I've realised it doesn't matter if I'm cool.
It's important to me, that I'm authentic, true to myself. But something you don't get told about being your truest self is, that it takes balls. Especially if you've spent your life watering-down who you are, and diluting what you like through fear of judgement.
I used to get embarrassed when people found my old Tumblr account because I'd reblog poetry, quote and beautiful words, which make it clear, I have... feelings. Because people mainly don't talk about there feelings, or when they do, we're not living them so we don't understand the intensity of the thoughts which cross another person's mind. Sharing words which are crafted to make a person feel opens up some vulnerability. It also can feel like a way of inviting others to simply take the piss.
Now having said this, I've seen a lot of people create similar content to that which I used to reblog on Tumblr, and content similar to what I want to create, based around intentional living, or share emotional poetry as still come across cool af.
But they are not me, and I am not them.
I'm not effortlessly cool, instead, I'm a little cringe. So rather than deny it, it's time to lean into it.
I tried to post Instagram stories apologising for my cringy-ness, yet Instagram was not on my side, instead of posting I received a notification to say it has not worked, as if the universe simply was not allowing me to say sorry for being me. It felt like a sign.
I realised, coming off of my recent post about where my blog is going if I am going to take it where I want to take it, I need fully be me, I need to lean into my 'cringy-ness' because that's what feels authentic to me.
The same day that Kelsey and I wrote the list, I pulled out my portable phone charger. It's millennial pink and says good vibes on it (similar here), Kelsey laughed and said to me "you're such a wanker and I love it"
I think it's time I started to love it too.

This is both obvious, and life-changing. It's somehow, it's taken me nearly 28 years to figure this out.

At the start of the year, I said I wanted to work with more brands on the blog... this blogpost is in partnership with Femme Luxe who kindly gifted my jeans and tee, how cute are they?! They're the perfect ripped high waisted jeans, and the tee is so easy to wear, both perfect for when I'm going for a casual look. All links will be at the bottom of the post!
Life has been full and fulfilling lately. I've been completing an internship with the sustainable fashion brand Lady K Loves, in hope that it will both teach me, and open doors. In all honesty, it's exceeded my expectations - I've learnt skills which I hope will help me improve this little website of my and be valuable in my career.
On finishing my internship, I've found myself with a new job, working for a Cruise company. I'll be doing social media, working from home, with flexible hours, which is exactly what I had been in search of. I'm really excited to throw myself into it (if you're into Cruises, I'll be sharing some pretty good deals on this facebook group)
Earlier in the year, I wrote this post about how I wanted to be more open to love, which leads me onto my other big piece of news - I've found myself in a relationship. It's early days, but I am very happy. It's been a long time since I've had a romantic relationship, I almost forgot the magic they hold. Recently I've been living in a bubble with my boyfriend, soaking in the details of each other. It's been wonderful. I definitely don't think the romantic relationship is a requirement for happiness, I don't think I'd be in this one if weren't happy beforehand. But still, I feel like I'm floating now, floating and falling that is, and everything about it is enhancing my life. Unlike my usual approach, but I put blogging on hold for a couple of weeks because I realised creating memories mattered more. Because I knew, that the start of a relationship, this one especially matters, and I wanted to be present in that, rather than at my laptop.
I'm trying to figure out a balance. I definitely want to get back to weekly blogpost - and from now, you can expect them each Monday at 9.30am, but I also want to be present in my own life, and sometimes that requires not documenting and just living. I haven't come to a conclusion on this really, it's just going with what feels right at the moment, and making sure I'm organised enough to make sure that's possible.
So, there are my happy little updates, as my tee says

A Little Life Catch Up | The Law of Attraction | Gifted Clothes
Hello! Hi!
As the brand Femme Luxe kindly gifted me some pieces, I thought I'd share an outfit and as it's been a couple of weeks, I feel a little life catch up is due.
It's been a couple of weeks. What can I say, despite promising to get back to regular blogging, life got busy, not in the struggling to meet deadlines and can hardly find time to pee way, but busy in the good way - you know when you find your calendar full of the things and people you love, and you're too busy living in the moment to consider your online presence.
I feel I've moved onto a new phase of my life, I'm beginning a new chapter in the book. Both slowly, and suddenly things have begun morphing into something new. Blogging, however, took a little back seat as I enjoyed the metamorphosis.
Something I talk about a lot on this blog and on my youtube channel is the Law of Attraction (there will be a full blog post on this soon, I promise), recently I feel I've seen it in action, I got myself a front-row seat to the universe doing it's thing. The universe has been on my side and I've found myself manifesting some pretty wonderful things.

The rom-com tells the story of the characters Nadia and Daniel. Daniel noticed Nadia on a train and leaves a note for her on the missed connections newspaper page. From then the couple keeps missing each other, through this book it plays with the idea of nearly missing the love of your life and the idea of fate. Despite finding it a tad underwhelming and very predictable - it was very feel good and made me believe in romance again. It's very modern-day, funny. lighthearted and relatable.
Open Summer Road is the Young Adult story of a girl called Reagan, who after breaking up with her bad-boy boyfriend decided to spend the Summer touring with her best friend Lilah, who happens to be a famous musician. Matt Finch another musician later joins the tour, and there's a little romance, The story revolves around the theme of friendships, fame, toxic relationships, trust and more. All of the characters in this book have a lot of growth throughout. Despite covering some pretty serious topics, this story feels like a pretty lighthearted read. The style of writing makes it an easy read, and it has a poetic feel to it.

2019 Summer Books | Recent Reads and Reviews
For me, this Summer included a lot of reading. I read some of the best books through Summer 2019, so I thought I'd review some of the pages turners which I've got my nose stuck into the past few months. I have also made a Youtube video to go alongside the post - which actually includes a couple more great books, you can head over to my youtube channel for that, or find it at the bottom of this post.
Without further ado, here are my reviews and short synopsis' of the books I read this summer:
Some Day by David Levithan:
I read the first two books in this series a few years back - you can read my review here - I didn't realise there was a 3rd book until recently when I stumbled upon it in Waterstones, and immediately needed to read it. The first book in the series tells the story of a character named A who does not have a body of his own, instead possess a different body each day, taking over the life of someone else for 24 hours. The third book, I found to expand that universe more. It becomes clear that A is not the only being to hop from body to body each day. It plays with the idea that you can choose to use this for either good or evil. It explores the loneliness of the character and offers the perspective of serval different characters from A and X who switch body daily, to more the ordinary people like Rihannon and Nathan who are in on their secret and others who are not. There are also snippets from an online forum, which again extends the universe beyond the main characters of the story. There's a poetic rhythm to David Levithan's writing throughout the novel. I loved it a lot, although, I did find the ending to be slightly underwhelming, however, I'm not sure if that was simply because I did not want to finish the book.
Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams:
The rom-com tells the story of the characters Nadia and Daniel. Daniel noticed Nadia on a train and leaves a note for her on the missed connections newspaper page. From then the couple keeps missing each other, through this book it plays with the idea of nearly missing the love of your life and the idea of fate. Despite finding it a tad underwhelming and very predictable - it was very feel good and made me believe in romance again. It's very modern-day, funny. lighthearted and relatable.What a Time To Be Alone by Chidera Eggerue:
This book from the Slumflower, with it's illustrated pages and Nigerian proverbs throughout makes a great coffee table book. This book sits in the self-help genre, offering advice on confidence and relationships, both with yourself and others, and discusses knowing your worth. There's a lot on white privilege which I found particularly interesting as it is something I've been trying to educate myself further on. I found this insightful and interesting, however in places, it did feel slightly repetitive and I definitely did not agree with everything the author said. Also, a lot of the content I'd heard Chidera talk about before on social media and in interviews - I was hoping it might delve deeper into soon of the points, having said that, the style of writing does make it very easy to digest. If you're struggling with your self-esteem this is definitely worth picking up.The After Series by Anna Todd:
I read the entire five books in After series over the past few weeks. I initially watched the film on Netflix and soon learned it was a book, within a couple of weeks I'd finished the series. These books revolve around the relationship of the character Tessa who is fairly sheltered and innocent and starts college and meets Hardin who is the opposite. Tessa and Hardin fall into a fairly toxic relationship which the books follow them through. There are a lot of character betrayals through the series and a lot of twists which keep you gripped.
In places, I felt these books weren't particularly well written, a lot of the same phrases were repeated, and a lot of the really beautiful parts actually quoted from classical literature. It had a Twilight-esc feel to it, as it romanticises what is clearly a toxic relationship - however in some ways, I'm not sure I'd fault the writer for that, I think a writer needs to trust that her readers are intelligent enough to understand this relationship is not healthy, and of course, it only makes sense for the character to be written as flawed people.
The story felt repetitive in places, and Tessas and Hardin's relationship just seemed to follow the same frustrating cycle, making me want to shake both characters. It definitely got more interesting in the later books when the story extended more to the past of both Tessas and Hardins families.
From a critical perspective, I don't think these books are particular well written or groundbreaking literature - however, I felt fully emersed in this fictional world, I could put my kindle down, and have found myself thinking of the characters a lot since finishing the series.

This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. It balances somewhere between the genre of romantic fiction and philosophical essays. It’s full of essays written based on the narrative between the two characters who fall in love. It follows them through the entirety of the relationship offering insights on love, heartbreak and relationship. It made me think about love in-depth. It’s intelligent and wonderful and the first time I’ve known theory carry so much emotion. When I gave it the attention it so rightly deserves, I was completely charmed by it.Follow

Where I've Been & Where I'm Going | Blogging, The Law of Attraction & Intentional Living.
A few weeks have passed since I sat at my laptop and typed out a blog post. My regular Monday posts temporarily vanished. I took some time to reevaluate. For a while, I’ve felt a distance from this platform, despite churning out new content on a weekly basis, something felt lacking, the process felt forced. It felt like the work of someone stuck in a routine, rather than someone in love with their life.
The thing is, I changed, but my content didn't. I began this blog in 2014, as a lost fashion student wanting to share her lipstick obsession. Now it's 2019, and I still love a lippy but I want more from this platform. I want this to be a place which like me, is constantly evolving. A place of growth.
I guess that was what the break was, a way for me to create room to manage the growing pains. Distance to figure out where I want to take this website of mine. Lately, I've been using living as a tool of self-discovery, rather than just writing. I temporarily traded in the typing and sharing to make room to explore what I was feeling. I've been learning the places my passions live because you can't put your soul into something which doesn't get your heart beating.
Humans are supposed to grow and evolve, we're supposed to learn new things about ourselves and the universe. We are supposed to wake up one day, a completely different person than a few months before just in similar skin. Like the seasons, we change as time passes. This year has felt like a year of growth for me. A year of self-discovery, of learning what I want from life, and attempting to reshape my world, moulding the days and dreams into something both beautiful and tangible. I've chosen to take control of the places I once thought were unreachable. I'm learning to not be so passive to my hopes and dreams and looking for the courage to work for them.
I made this video at the start of the year, where I spoke about how I wanted to use the Law of Attraction to recreate the life I was living, about how I no longer wanted to be fuelled by sadness and weighed down by defeat. That decision changed everything.
It made me realise I'm in the driver's seat. Although it doesn't always feel like it, I can always, in some way, take control. It made me understand, there are small choices I can make each day which affect how I feel, and how I feel alters how things look on the outside.
This has been the year I've realised, I'm allowed to be happy, and that life doesn't have to be as hard is it sometimes feels. And when it feels that way, it is temporary - feelings; like us, and like the season, are changing.
I've had a year of putting back the pieces and figuring out what fits. Alongside learning the depths of who I am. I’m beginning to understand that thoughts should not be mutable things, and this should be a place where I can turn the volume up on the sounds in my mind. This should be a place where I can feel completely me, whichever version of me that might be.
Where does this leave my blog?!
I love blogging. The little break was nothing more than a reminder of that. For my own sanity, I need to write, and I love to share with others. It’s important to me that my thoughts live beyond my own mind, and that I use images to create a map of my world for both myself and the strangers that stumble upon chloeharriets.com. I want to give out little pieces of myself because something in that vulnerability feels brave, it makes me feel full. But I’ve realised website should also be a growing, evolving thing, so I’ve begun to make some changes around here.
I want to concentrate less on lipsticks, and more on self-development. I want to create a space which promotes a positive lifestyle because God only knows I've needed that place from time to time. You may have also noticed the changes in my Instagram bio or my youtube videos too. I want to focus on making the mediocre magical, as sometimes it feels as though the mediocre is all you've got, and everyone is entitled to a little magic.
This ~journey~ I've been talking about, I think it's my search for peace and purpose, it’s above the materialistic things, it’s more than ticking boxes so society can deem my worth. What I really desire is to live my purpose and to feel at peace.
The life I’ve got now is a pretty good one, but still, I want more. I want something wonderful. I believe there's more, and I'm going search until I find it.
If you're here for the beauty stuff, fear not, I have an exciting beauty (and book) based project launching in the near future. But this website will focus on self-growth, creating good vibes, my thoughts, feelings, and possibly some books because I think words can change your world.
For the first time in a long time, I'm inspired and I'm excited to see what's next. I hope you are too!

How To Relax On Holiday & Madeira Holiday Pictures | Travel Diaries & Advice.
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know I recently went to Madeira with a close friend. We had more of a relaxing holiday than an exploring one. It was a week of pure chill, spending our days on sunbeds, enjoying a view of the ocean and swimming in the pool. We stayed at Pestana Royal Premium All Inclusive Ocean and Spa and it was beautiful. A pink hotel, with ocean views - it felt pretty perfect to me. It was surrounded by so many beautiful flowers and had the most calming sea view, so we could watch the waves of the sea while sat the pool. I honestly felt more relaxed than I have done in a long time. It was wonderful. So I thought in this blogpost, alongside my holiday snaps I'd share some tips on how to feel most relaxed on holiday.
Here are some tips to help you fully relax on holiday:
- Only wear swimwear which fits you properly, and that you feel good in.
You want to feel as comfortable as possible in your swimwear. You don't want to be pulling it around, and/or feeling body-conscious on the beach. I have a fuller bust, so in the past when I've bought an ill-fitting bikini I've had boobs falling out in the pool which let's be honest, is not ideal. Spend some time trying on your swimwear before you go, really move around in it to check you're not spilling out anywhere. Maybe invest in some new swimwear if what you already have isn't cutting it.
- Meditate:
This year was the first time I realised now one was paying attention to me whilst I lounged on my sunbed, so decided to use my happy not perfect app to do some meditation (if you're interested in what other meditation apps I'd recommend, I have a full blog post on them here) Happy Not Perfect seemed the perfect choice, because I could do one of the 7 day courses, which would last the duration of my holiday. Meditating with the background sound of waves is just sort of perfect.
- Be Organised Before You Go :
- Be Organised Before You Go :
Get up to date, if not ahead with work/blogging/chores/whatever before you go. You shouldn't be thinking of doing to list while you're away, knowing you're up to date will save any worrying.
- Keep a Travel Journal:
This year I bought a travel journal to take with me, I initially liked the idea for the sake of memories, but while I was there I found it to be really therapeutic journaling my days. Taking the time to reflect made me realise how lucky I am.
- Be Mindful with your Book Choice:
I spoke about this a lot in last weeks blog post so I'm not going to go too far into it, but I think the reading material you choose for your trip really matters and will affect how you feel during and about the holiday. If you're after some holiday book recommendations, I have a blog post full of them which you can find here.
- Turn Off Notifications:
Nothing kills the chilled holiday vibes quite like seeing a work email pop up on your phone. Anything can wait, it's not the time to be constantly contactable - turn off your notifications, and put your phone away.
- Let People Know You're Going Away:
If turning off those notifications makes you feel a little anxious - let people know you're going aways before you go, that way they won't be expecting you to get back to them immediately.
- Pack a Few Little Luxuries:
I'm a home-sick person so I like to have the comfort of a sleep mask, a destress rollerball, and a portable phone charger so I know I've got the option to contact home whenever I wish.

When putting together #chloeharrietsbookclub, I found it most challenging choosing the perfect books for those months I was on holiday. (I returned home this week and can truly say, I made some great choices - reviews coming soon on my Instagram). What to read while I'm away, can really enhance how I feel about the holiday, that books and those characters will forever remind me of that trip, so it's important to get it right. I want to read something will add more chill to the holiday, not something which is going to leave me stressed, or crying on the beach. I remember choosing The Fault In Our Stars for my holiday reading a while ago before it was so well known, we lead to some pretty depressing beach reading. You want something lighthearted and empowering to reading during the Summer - so I've raided my bookshelves to find all the books which I think would be a great fit and put together a list of my recommended holiday reads, along with where you can read my more in-depth thoughts on the books.
I hope this is helpful! What books are your favourite summer books?
