My Spring bucket list collage! 🌼

Happy April! 💛 I hope this post finds you on a good day 🍃. It’s a whole new month and I almost would have forgotten had my sister not pranked each of the family (myself included) this morning 😅🤣. I’m pretty sure I haven’t set any goals for Spring yet (I keep getting confused with last year 🤔) so I decided I’d do a collage of aesthetic images instead as I wanted to make a moodboard type thing that could perhaps harness/pull on the old visualization strings! I loved finding images on the likes of Pexels, Pixabay and Unsplash to use and I’ve been looking forward to sharing it with you guys ☺️.

I’ve been overwhelmed with health stuff lately, things are on the right track since my diagnosis and it feels weird finally after all these years having a support network of upcoming appointments that acknowledge the pain I’m in. It’ll be a long journey and in the collage I made I wanted to reflect that I am capable of getting to a good place in hope that it will serve as a reminder for when I’m not so sure. Right now I want to focus on what can happen despite what is going on, nice things and moments that feel magic. Here is my Spring bucket list collage! 🌼

I used PicsArt to create it and the app was playing up the entire time! I used to use it to edit all of my blog images but now I use Phonto for adding titles and stuff so PicsArt will be left until moments like this when I want to create a random collage!

I started out by wanting to make a sticker out of the girls pose but it wouldn’t save it or at least I couldn’t find what folder it was going into but then it started working after I went off the app and back on again a few times (Roy from the I.T Crowd would be proud 🥲😂). I chose the whole jeans with flowers peaking out of the pocket because it makes me think of a nature filled lifestyle and I want more of that (I’m hoping it’ll become more and more possible what with the warmer weather I’m praying will come back to us – last year I felt a bit easier in Summer so fingers crossed it’ll get to that point again! 🤞). So that’s basically the first goal, to become immersed in nature in any which way with the colder weather at bay! 😎🌞

Next up I was able to place pictures beneath the sticker (which is why I was so deadset on having it be a sticker so it could be ontop of more than one other photo 🌼). I found a beautiful picture that showcased a large crop of daisies and that had to go in! It can make me either focus on the whole nature thing again or nice fragrances as something else that is a bit of an odd one to add is that if this is a visualization kinda thing then I want to be surrounded by lovely fragrances! This is driven off the fact that my sister has a thing about cleaning so I’ll smell nice Lenor fragrances and they’ll just be so nice and calming. Kind of like a nostalgia scent for Summertime or something (I know it’s Spring but I’m more excited that it leads onto Summer if I’m honest 🤣). So yeah! That alongside candles and going through my perfumes as it’s been so long since I last tried those I used to put on for concerts and stuff. Why wait? I just want to spritz them now! I think that goes with it too, I don’t want to fall back into habits of saving things for not even a rainy day, it’d go on forever. I’m going to use things when I want to as that’s what they’re there for!

Then we have smoothies! 🍓 I can’t really look at strawberries anymore after we left them to soak/clean in water and loads of bugs came out!! I used to just grab and go but now I just can’t get that vision out of my mind 😳🤣. So no strawberries…or maybe some if they’re frozen but whatever the fruit, I’ll for sure be having smoothie’s in Spring! 🫐 At some point I popped on an affirmation that hit home and is super motivational as well for good measure! 💪 To make that goal happen I’m doing it for more than it just being a goal, I’m taking accountability for where I fall short and can do better, sleep routine I’m looking at you! 😴😂 On the subject of health I’m also implementing things into my life that are of help and I’m going to remember to do physio exercises when I can if it’s the last thing I do! Some things can’t be helped but I want to try stay calm and not get worked up about stuff on the way. I’m on the right track and all I can do is keep pushing forward.

Then there’s blue sky days that bring me joy and Mr. Blue Sky by ELO has taken on a whole other meaning here as it brings to mind an upcoming holiday that was first viewed as the song played ✨). There’s nothing like waking I’m to clear blue skies or even some clouds floating around (I’m not overly fussy…I think). Its things like that that keep you going, other than loved ones of course (they’re okay too 🤣). I added in my Kindle because I’m obsessed with it, especially the magazines section as it’s nice reading news in that way. I shared some of the books I’m reading recently (here: What’s on my Kindle Paperwhite? Books, books and more books! ✨📚) and I can really tell that this is the year I’ll finally get back into writing book reviews….maybe even in Spring! 😯 (if I can just finish one 📚😂).

Last but by no means least I added in sand, as a way of getting out of the house I love going to park up by the beach! Other than appointments that’s been my way of getting out without actually getting out of the car if you know what I mean as I’ve trouble walking/standing for long. It really clears my head and I can feel fuelled and inspired to keep going forward whilst seeing the positives. There’s nowhere quite like a beach is there? 🏖️ For that therapeutic goal I’d just like for it to keep happening, it’s something so simple yet it helps a lot and memories are getting made laughing together, just taking it in. Ahh I get all happy thinking about it! 🤣💫

Ta da zi za! That’s it 😁. I feel like each step in that collage brought me up, I’m glad I made it and I hope those things do happen more and more! 🙌 The fragrance one may have seemed out of place but it’s like appreciating those things that are just there and free sources of joy! Okay I gotta go before I ramble anymore 🤣.

What do you think of my collage? 🙈 (I won’t be one of those of people who acts like they don’t think it’s good so they’ll be told it is, I’mma say it straight: I’m really proud of that collage right there! I like it a lot 😏🤣). Do you have goals for this season? I hope it’s everything that you want for it to be and you stay healthy, safe and kind to yourself. Buh-bye! 💗xx
