Hey there! Pictures found on Unsplash I started ‘journaling’ way back in…Umm, let me have a look again. Way back in Nov 2017. Back then I called it my secret diary‍♀️ Now, it’s just my journal. Before I start with the actual part of this post, I don’t journal consistently. It’s a method I use to express emotions that I feel like I can’t tell anyone or emotions that are just not shareable(for whatever reason). What I’ve learnt: 1. Journaling consistently does not always matter I think it depends on the WHY. Why are you journaling? Is it because you want to record small memories that you’ll wan ..read more

Hey there! Ambidextrous people are so rare. My cousin might turn out to be ambidextrous. We’re still not sure. Then a question popped up in my mind: “How would my handwriting look if I wrote with my left hand?” So here it is, It’s not bad but it looks like a 2nd grader wrote it. Also, it takes SO much time to write cursive with my left hand. I just gave up after a point‍♀️. Hope you enjoyed this very short post/experiment ..read more

13 huh? By the way, I forgot to mention that I turned 13 today. 13 to me symbolises a lot of changes. Why? I’ll tell you. *These changes are all important to this generation. Not all of them are big changes. They are small changes but when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, turning 13 is…well I can’t tell all of it in one paragraph, can I? Read on. Netflix parental controls A few days before, my mom agreed and my brother changed my age restrictions to only 7+ and 13+. I also realise that all of what Netflix rates 13+ is not always 13+. For example- F.R.I.E.N.D.S I’ve watched ..read more

Hey everyone. Today is my last day as a 12-year-old. Crazyyyyy. SO, this is a little post put together for all the people who are going to turn 13 soon. I mean anyone can read it. I’m confused Anyone can read it. That’s what I always meant. #1-Don’t plan too much This was a good lesson. I always made all these plans in my head before I went to bed. The day never went the way I planned it(maybe that was just me). You have to understand that you shouldn’t plan too much because a lot of the time, it doesn’t go that way. SO why waste time, right? #2-People pleasing is a waste of time In these las ..read more

Hey everyone! I wanted to write about changes that are happening and just give an update(as the title said, I’m going to try and keep it short). School Guess what? Term Test 2 starts on the 16th of August. I know? Right after my birthday. Bad luck. So, I’m pretty much sitting and studying. I’m also trying to finish and submit my projects for this semester. Books I had to write something about books in this post. I named this blog ‘books n’ boots’ for a reason. Not to talk about boots at all. Only books. I recently finished the first book in the Neopolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante(all thanks t ..read more

Hey everyone! If you read blogs(especially lifestyle ones) then you’re probably heard of Cup of Jo. The picture was taken from their website Those are their words, not mine. The reason I like this blog so much is because of how authentic their content is. Just visit their website once and you’ll understand. I may have stolen ‘The List’ from them and this blog called Cupcakes and Cashmere. I’m also loving their new website! Also, out of all their content, I love the content by Grace Farris ..read more

Hey everyone! Guess what??? (Maybe three question marks were too much‍♀️) I’m editing the website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the one year anniversary, I was like... “What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?” I thought. I thought. I thought. Then Cup of Jo redesigned their website. I was like, “I should do that.” So, I’m in the process of editing the website. One of the main changes is the colour palette. I’m so excited for all of you to see the website. It’s going to be published on 29th August 2021. PS: I can’t believe it’s almost a year since I started this blog ..read more

Hey everyone! Picture found here When I started books n’ boots, it wasn’t only a blog that was going to have book reviews and lifestyle-related content. I wanted to write about meaningful stuff. Family, friendship, relationships, gender equality and more. I wanted this blog to be a place where people would come and relate to what I was writing. When you are a writer, the best thing that can happen to you is knowing that a person or people resonate with your work. That’s why, from now on, when I’m planning what I’m going to write, I want to add more meaningful conversations. I want to add more ..read more

Hey everyone! Picture found here Today's topic is digital art. When I write digital art, I’m referring to graphic design, video editing and photography only. If you’ve read my ‘About’ page you know that I tried to create a YouTube channel last year and that’s when I first edited something. I’ve always been interested in art and photography. At least as long as I can remember. My interest has sparked up again. I’ve charged the battery for my DSLR, I’m trying to convince my mom to buy an Apple Pencil(so that I can use Procreate) and I’m trying to make use of all of Canva’s free features. This i ..read more

I just want to say: Happy Leo season! I'm a Leo myself and I can't wait for my birthday. I'm also terrified because there's a chance that my tests might start the day after my birthday‍♀️ I forgot to mention: I'm going to turn 13. What??? Crazy. Can't process this stuff right now. There's a lot of exciting stuff happening. I have a Google account that's connected to my mom's and when I turn 13 it'll become my own. Not much of a difference but at least it won't alert my mom every time I log in Picture found here Here is the stuff I liked this week: Reading coincidences Bookcase styles That's a ..read more
