Hey guys, I know it has been a while. I’m not going to write an excuse for anything because life just happens. The older you get the less time you have. I’ve decided to create another blog for photography seeing as I don’t want to pester followers who followed this blog for lifestyle posts. I’m starting from scratch again, I probably won’t be posting on this blog as much (barely post anyways) but, I will keep it up just so that I can look back at how I acted during my teenagers years. I haven’t officially quit this blog as yet not sure if I ever will. The procrastinator in me is telling me to stay. If you’ve got this far with the reading this is kind of just a self-promotional post

So, if any of you guys that are still active and follow this blog and are interested in following a blog related to photography the website is:

I post portrait shots, nature as well as photography-related tips and goals. I feel like all the other blogs that I’ve had before have helped me led me to this moment doing photography something  I see myself doing in the near future.

Also, recently on Pinterest I posted a photo I took on my tripod by myself and it blew it up. I’m super excited if you guys have time please be sure to check it out :D.

Photography Goals for 2018

I would’ve posted my New Years resolutions than I realized I already broke more than half of them in the first week. One of my goals was to eat healthier and on January 1st the first thing that I ate for breakfast was cake.Although the cake made me happier than I normally am at work, I still didn’t choose the healthiest option. Below are my photography goals for the year.

1. Learn the whole editing process

vscox

I’ve learned how to use illustrator and photoshop a couple years ago. I really want to expand my skills and properly edit photos in detail that you would expect if you were getting it from a professional photographer. Normally I’d just go on VSCO and adjust contrast, saturation, exposure, crop whatever that needs to be cropped and then add a filter. I also feel like editing properly, takes forever that’s why I haven’t tried it. The software used is also expensive so I’m not sure if I would commit to it.

2.Learn to Shoot in Manual

(Taken on Nikon Coolpix P530 Manual)

Shooting in auto is just so much easier especially if you’re taking pictures and everyone’s trying to rush you(which always happens). I’ve tried manually shooting on Nikon but it was too complicated and nothing would focus so I just gave up. I haven’t tried on my canon but, hopefully, it isn’t as daunting.

3. Go outside and explore different environments

I still take the majority of my photos in my house. Hopefully this summer I’ll find time too go out and explore!

4. Have an actual Photoshoot Portrait session

In my last post , I took all the photos myself and it took about two hours because I constantly had to readjust the camera and since I don’t have a flip out screen it made it even harder. I would like to find people outside my family that I could photograph. I also find it very hard to instruct people and point out what I see is wrong when I would take pictures of my mom or brother they’d tell me what they should do but I would’ve no idea how they’d want their photos to look.

5. Find my style of photography

 

I’m not sure if I would want to stick with taking nature shots (which I find so much easier), fashion shots or normal portraits. I’d like to try them all to get a feeling as too what I like.

At the end of the year, I’ll make a new post to see if I made any progress or accomplished any of my goals.

Do you guys know of any good free editing software or good photo editing apps? Also feel free to comment and thoughts below!

I’m Staying

I  don’t know why but I just cant quit WordPress it;s one of the things that if I let go, than I’ll probably end up coming back. Since i cant quit I;ve decided to make this site mainly based on photography since it’s one of my hobbies that has stuck with me since I was a little kid. I’ll be posting every once in a blue moon on whenever i have free time to go and take pictures.

Stay tuned – Blizz

To Quit or Not to Quit ?

I haven’t been on WordPress for a while . It’s also not the same since majority of the bloggers started with have quit or aren’t on it’s not the same fun experience it use to be. A part of me wants to stay but at the same time I don’t want to leave all of it behind.  I rarely have the free time to blog so its the last thing on my list of many things to do. I’m just confused cant make a decision because i don’t want to blog every couple of months, since i won’t be fully committed. This is a really tough decision to make whatever I decide I’ll let you guys know.

Back To School 2017

Back to Basics - Chalkboard
The words Back to Basics written on a chalkboard

I previously posted a back to school clothing haul. I might do a supplies haul if I get a lot of supplies and don’t end up buying everything last minute or a notebook DIY post. This post is just here to refer to old back to school posts on this blog. I find it repetitive to repeat the same information. I’m also very lazy so, I’ve just added short descriptions of what’d you’d find in each post.

Mini Review of Shein.com 

I saw a lot of YouTube videos about this website and just decided to try their products out since I was curious. I only bought jackets so, I can’t really speak on the whole website. Since the currency is in usd I find that the prices are similar to that of items you’d find in Canada already for the same price without actually having to wait for all the shipping. 


Shipping 

With standard shipping it took approximately 7 business days which is equivalent to about 10 regular days. Considering it came from china I think it was a reasonable time frame. In the past I’ve order from Chinese wholesalers on Amazon and the items would come maybe 3 months later so I was a little concerned with shipping but everything was fine. I’m glad they had the option to let you buy ship insurance so that if your item goes missing than you’ll be able to get another one sent to you.

Quality 


They have really cute and fashionable items the quality of the two items I’ve received not the greatest quality but, they definitely look really nice.  I feel like the stitching on the jacket might come off the red jacket . I’ve worn it for a couple of days and it’s seams like it’s fine. The denim jackets really light weight but it doesn’t feel like real denim it’s like the material you’d find in some jackets at forever 21.

Sizing 

I read a ton of reviews and watched YouTube hauls with items from the website so I’d know how it would fit someone who was approximately the same size as me. 

I got the red jacket in an XL because the reviews on the website said it ran a little small. I’m glad I made that choice because it fits like a  Canadian size S or M.

For the denim jacket I got a medium which I would have gotten if I was in Canada I regret it. I wish I had gotten a L because the sleeves are a little short. I would return it but then I’d have to pay to send it back so I decided to just keep it. Next time I go looking for denim jackets I might just check thrift stores order from them but get two sizes up. 

The sizing is different for every single item, so each time you have to measure yourself and it can get difficult. I’d personally prefer if they had their own universal sizing chart since they ship to many countries. 

Would I purchase from them again? 

I’d consider it, its not that bad and they have really trend, fashionable and unique items. If I were to do a photo shoot for someone than I’d definitely consider it. It’s not my go to online store I might occasionally order every couple of months.
Overall I’d rate this website 7/10 

What are some online retailers you order from ? Feel free to  leave your comments and thoughts below !

Back to School Clothing Haul 2017

Hey Guys !!  This year I decided to get all my back to school shopping done earlier since stores usually hike up the price of winter/fall items in September. I shopped the clearance section for the majority of the items for this haul. This haul includes items from Winners , Bluenotes , Ardene , Forever 21 , H&M and this website called Shein.com. The items that don’t have prices on them are just items I’ve had from before. I’ve tried to provide links for all the items at the bottom of the post however, some of the links are gone since I got the items off clearance, they may be sold out.

When I go shopping I tend to buy cheaper items unless it’s something that I really want and know I won’t just stop wearing after I get new clothes. Since,  I tend wear my old clothes  not as  frequently after I get my new clothes. It took about 2-3 weeks to collect all the items. It mainly took long because of the amount of time I’d spent searching clearance sections and checking for deals daily online.
Outfit # 1

For this first outfit I paired this Forever 21 contemporary top with black tights, boots from Payless and a beige watch from Charming Charlie. The top ended up being free since Forever 21 was having a buy one get one free sale on all clearance items in store so, I price matched it with the sweater in outfit #3.

Outfit # 2The second outfit I’m wearing a rust orange top. I feel like wearing Orange is becoming this new trend it’s like orange is the new black (I love that show btw) . This top is also from the Forever 21 clearance section. I noticed it’s slightly cheaper in store in comparison to online which is so odd , since online you have to pay shipping anyways.

Outfit #3This is a cute knit sweater,  I always see tops like this on Pinterest and I’ve always wanted something similar to them since they’re so cute.

Outfit #4 It’s probably really hard to see, this is just a plain black hoodie. It’s super soft and comfortable I have it in 3 different colours. (I know it’s excessive but, you can never have to many hoodies.)

Outfit #5This is just a cute grey hoodie it’s not really cropped but it has this cute unique detail in the back. There’s none left on the Ardene site. When I was browsing  shein.com I literally found the same thing it’s double the price on shein.com. I paired this hoodie with H&M Jeans. These Jeans  are really comfy and so cheap they’re this really soft material. I already had this same exact pair before, I ended up buying the same pair again because I love them so much.

Outfit # 6This jumpsuits way too big I ordered a large which was too big so, I rolled up the bottom. I might get i hem or try to shrink it in the washing machine.  It’s really comfy I felt like I was wearing a onesie.

Outfit #7I wouldn’t necessarily wear this outfit to school maybe at home or to the park. This is just a simple outfit idea , if you live in a really hot country since most of these outfits are targeted towards winter/fall weather in Canada.

Outfit # 8 This is a perfect outfit for those lazy days at school, a simple hoodie and jeans and you’re ready to go.

Outfit #9

This is a dark blue sweater it’s just plain cropped sweater and simple is easy to pair with tights or jeans .
Outfit #10 

This Forever 21 top was also apart of the clearance buy one get one free. It’s a really cute simple top that’s great for layering. I would style it with a denim skirt in the summer and a jean jacket in the fall.

Outfit #11When I saw this jacket at first I didn’t really like it but, than after a while I liked it because of how unique it looks. I had trouble styling this jacket since you can’t really wear the jacket with high neck tops. It looks better paired with lower neckline tops.

Outfit #12

I’m obsessed with this jacket , it’s super comfortable. It reminds me of the really expensive Nike jackets that you’d see on Pinterest. It’s very light weight and it has the kind of material you would find in a rain coat. I’m probably going to use this as a rain jacket so that I don’t have to carry an umbrella.

Outfit # 13

This shirt is multi purpose, you can wear it as a t-shirt dress or as a regular shirt. I bought a large, I wish I bought an x-large since it’s a little short on me.

Outfit # 14

I feel like most distressed girlfriend/ boyfriend jeans are pretty expensive even though they’re jeans with lots of rips in them.  I’ve tried DIYing them in the past but, I couldn’t  really achieve the perfect rips. These aren’t really girlfriend jeans I just got them two sizes up. The jeans aren’t very flexible they’re very stiff. I’m use to wearing jegging so the material kind of bothers my skin, hopefully when I wash them it goes away.

Outfit #15I never thought I could wear denim on denim. The jeans just happened to match the jacket I got on shein. I’m kind disappointed in this jacket because it’s smaller than I expected I kind of wanted an oversized fit. The materials very lightweight so it’d would be best to wear in the summer/fall.

Accessories
Slides Fur slides are really on trend. I was going to DIY the slides but than I saw that the were significantly cheaper on Bluenotes so I just got them.

Denim Hat 
Lately I’ve had this obsession with buying baseball hats. I think I have around 5-7 hats in my hat collection.

How to Create your own Home Theatre for your Bedroom! 

I’ve always wanted a TV in my room but, I never really had enough space and for the size of the TV the price is pretty high. If I wanted a 32 inch it would cost $250+ so instead I decided to go on Amazon and look into buying a projector. I generally only watch tv in the night anyways since I usually busy all day so it was a great option for myself.  Here’s a just a few steps help you if your interested! 

Step 1 : Research your Projector 

I got the projector off of Amazon, on prime day it was $87 but, then I didn’t get the deal in time because I didn’t purchase the projector fast enough. I ended up paying for it at regular price which is $109.
Blitz Wolf Hizek Portable Wifi Projector
I don’t have a laptop that’s why this projectors perfect for me. If you have a laptop there are probably better options that have more lumens. Lumens is just the brightness so, when your picking a projector 1500+ is the best but, they may cost more. I compromised the use of my phone over the screen brightness. 

These are the different input methods available on the projector.


The images are giving off a red colour because of the curtains since it’s hard to take pictures in the dark . In mid daylight it’s not that bad.

When I use the” link” input method I normally don’t have any issues with my Samsung phone since it just screen mirrors straight off of it. However, on my iPad airplay can be a pain because sometimes  it’ll get slow since it’s a direct link from the  wifi  to the projector than to the iPad opposed to just showing the image directly from the ipad. 

Pros 

  • Light weight
  • Good quality image
  •  Can wirelessly connect to phone 

Cons 

  • Netflix doesn’t work on Apple products  ( says formats not supported) 
  • Slow connection with Apple products at times 
  • Really loud fan (kinda sounds like a computer)

Step 2  Find a projector screen 

Smaller half in my room

Larger half in Basement 

I also got this screen off of Amazon. It’s 84″inch diagonal projector screen. The size was way too big for my room so I ended up cutting it. I left the other half in my basement so that if a lot of people came over then there’s another home theatre downstairs . You can watch without a projector screen I did for about a week but it looks 10x better when you have a screen. It came with Velcro strips but I ended up only using some of the strips & 2 push pins which allows the screen to stay up perfectly. 

Excelvan Portable Projector Screen 


When your putting it up try to get help so that the screen doesn’t crease.

Step 3 Find Speakers 

Depending on the projector you have the sound might be louder or weaker so I’d suggest buying speakers. For my particular projector I have to use wired speakers since it has no Bluetooth options. These speakers are pretty good. They’re loud enough to fill up my whole room.

Logitech Z313 Speakers 


The price dropped $10 a couple weeks after I bought them 😪. 


Step 4 Find a Projector Mount 

I don’t think my parents are comfortable with mounting anything so I just used my piano notes stand to keep the projector on . You could always just leave it on a small folding table.

Step 5 Enjoy your new Home Theatre!

My Camera doesn’t really do the screen justice. The projector is great for enetertainment purposes. 
The fairlights in my room add that kind of extra touch if your interested in purchasing them the link the image here:

Festive Productions Icicle Lights

In total with everything the whole home theatre cost about $210  (Excluding lights).The size of the screen which has a 60″inch diagonal that’s a great price since most 50inch + TV  cost over five hundred dollars these days
