Outfit deets:
* Dynamite jacket which you've seen with a sweater dress & booties, with waxed denim (an older favourite outfit post), and with leggings and a tight top years ago.
* American Eagle top (remember this in my, 'What to Wear on a Date' post?) with Urban Planet cami underneath which I wore on my birthday (here in black).
* Parasuco denim which you've seen with a purple flawy top.
* Liliana wedges which you've seen with a white dress, with a printed sundress, during a night out with girlfriends, with a 'Nurse' dress & with a pencil skirt and a peplum top last summer.
* Accessories: Swarovski & Old Navy bangles, H&M rings with gifted chain bracelet.
I'm not sure what has been going on with me lately, but I have been facing a serious creative block. I've been unmotivated to blog, film or edit videos and just be in this space. This is something I genuinely enjoy--if I didn't, why bother continuing--but lately I feel so... blah.
A fellow creative-type friend and I were chatting about the slump and offered some wise words:
"You will find slumps in creativity extremely dreadful. You want to create and when you don't, it makes you feel terrible. It's a cycle, but the slump will pass. In the meantime, do what you are currently doing and that is to push through. It sucks for now, and you might feel antsy, but then all of a sudden, BOOM! The damn breaks and your back in the swing of things."
Here's hoping my upcoming vacation is just what I need to break the damn, so to speak. Happy Thursday.

Love your shirt! And what great advice from your friend!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could do a post on what YouTube channels you watch/like?! :)
Can you please stop commenting on my blog?
ReplyDeleteThat's a rude comment & a good way of loosing readers...
DeleteI would never cyber bully. You're very mistaken. I'm kindly asking her to stop commenting - anon. Thanks.
DeleteWhy have a blog if you don't want people to comment? Delete comments you don't like and move on. I find it rude you asking her not to comment on your blog. I'll take back the cyber bullying comment towards you.
DeleteYou're like dealing with a toddler. You can contact me directly should you need to discuss a situation you clearly know nothing about - Ashley.lawrie@gmail.com.
DeleteI'm in no way a toddler, I was one of your readers & now I'm not. I don't need to contact you, get over yourself & grow up.
DeleteHey Anonymous ^ we know who you are and could care less about readers and more about treating people with respect. If not, we can play your game.
ReplyDeleteWhat "game" am I playing? I was commenting on the please don't comment on blog comment...I've never left rude and mean comments on this blog. I actually enjoy reading this blog...so please calm down!!!
DeleteIt's sad to see all this hate on Amanda's blog. @Ashley & @jessica I'm not sure what negativity or what game anon is "playing" it's pathetic to cyber bully.
ReplyDeleteAmanda keep doing what your doing, love your blog! :-)
This had nothing to do with Amanda's blog. She gets so much hate that it's normal for people to assume this has to do with hate. I'm asking her to leave mine alone - that's it. How is that being a cyber bully?
DeleteThe most professional way of communicating woul. Have been through a private message.
DeleteAgreed
Delete@Anon 1: Thank you!
ReplyDelete@Anon 2: Great suggestion, I'll film that video--thank you!
@Anon: thanks for your kind words and defending notes, I have emailed Ashley directly. I wasn't aware she had a blog so it was a simple mistake, let's everyone enjoy the rest of our weekends (including Ashley & Jessica). Cheers all.
