About

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog. If you have arrived at this page, you have probably already deduced that I am Sasha, and a big welcome to my blog (come in, sit down, grab yourself a tea).

I have spent a lot of time wanting to start a blog and very little time blogging. The process of actually beginning to blog has been delayed due to the classic ‘I don’t have time right now’. Additionally, the content of what my blog should be was always an ambiguous topic. This is partly because so many various things interest me that I find it hard to discriminate and focus solely on just one of these interests. However, it occurred to me recently that it would be almost ridiculous for me to blog about just one of my interest and passions, because, in reality, there are hundreds of things that construct, define and make us who we are – so I will simply blog about all of them, at separate times, or when they are relevant.

To avoid complete information overload, I will try and summarise what some of those various things may be (as well as explaining a little about myself along the way).

I am Sasha, this is me (cheesy photo alert)...

That's the most basic bit of information.

I study psychology (and despite being hugely interested in what goes on in your mind, no, I cannot read it). I aspire to work in clinical or health psychology within the next few years, as I feel very passionately about these two areas of psychology. So, don't be surprised if you encounter the odd blog post about the importance of mental health and well-being or interpersonal relationships (yes, it could very well get a little bit nerdy from time to time, but I will try not to bore you too much).

I can pretty much sum up all my interests in life with F words - fashion, fitness, food, family and friends, and flying around the world... and these things are all likely to make an occurrence in my blog.

Clothes excite me tremendous amounts and I love the creations you can make from a few simple items. So sometimes my blog will probably feature posts such as these. 

 

I also really enjoy fitness (ok, I shall rephrase that... MOST days I really enjoy fitness, some days I just enjoy fitting myself perfectly between my pillows and my duvet). From pole fitness, dancing, the occasional run or cycle (I won't confess to being any good at any of the above, I merely enjoy them), I enjoy finding ways to entertain myself, as 80% of the time I struggle to keep still. So posts like this may occur from time to time too. 

Food is a HUGE love of mine. My Mum was a chef before she was a full-time Mum and I have been very familiar with incredible tasting food my entire life. So I probably spend about 75% of my waking hours preoccupied by the thought of food. I love eating food. I love making food. Everything from chicken, carrots and cous-cous to chocolate, chips and cake. All food is good food and it will certainly make its debut here on my blog.

I love to bake cakes. From strawberries to smarties, from coffee to coconut. I spent years learning from the best and will forever be obsessed with baking.

Breakfast is probably my favourite meal of the day, and porridge and fruit are some of my favourite things for breakfasts. So posts like this might be a bit of a commonplace.

Hands down, if I ever had to pick a last meal - roast dinner. Another thing I learned from my Mumma. She makes a mean Sunday dinner and it's a meal that always takes me right back to those Sundays spent with my family.

I am fortunate enough to have some incredible people in my life. I have some incredible friends and a wonderful family who inspire me daily and make me feel very blessed to have them in my life. So I am sure there will be mentions of these lovely human beings from time to time. 

And last, but by no means least, I LOVE to travel. There is nothing in this world I love more than exploring this world. Whether it is 7,000 miles around the globe to another continent or 7 miles away to a new location to walk my dog. I love seeing all the beautiful things in the world and continue to be excited by them. So, undoubtedly, I will spend a lot of time talking about all my mini and major adventures. 

Hopefully I can follow this beautiful photo of the Uluwatu Sunset in Bali, Indonesia with many other, equally beautiful and picturesque posts.

So, we have established now that I am Sasha... and this is my blog, filled with all sorts of various content relevant to my everyday life. 

I hope you enjoy.

Speak soon

Sasha
