Favourite Time Of The Day; Sunset

There's something about the sun looking as though it's sinking into the edge of the Earth's surface. It would always have me wondering as a kid, wondering what country it would be traveling to next. I know that what I thought wasn't scientifically correct, however it still fascinated me. Now that I'm slightly older it's not just the curiosity of the sun going down that draws me in but also the atmosphere of being able to chill or relax in the evening. Whenever the sky is clear, the setting sun never fails to give an array of beautiful orange and blue across the heavens. 

Especially when the days are warmer, the cool and mild evenings motivate me to go for a walk or light jog. The feeling of going out at dusk somehow makes me feel safe as the lower surroundings are much calmer and dim whilst the sky is still lit by the disappearing glowing orange sun. Luckily the area I live in is pretty quiet, therefore there are no cars or traffic to ruin the effect. 

The cooling air of the nightfall is always pleasant after a scorching hot day, especially if you've been outside and became slightly sunburnt during the sun's hottest moments. The fresh air outside definitely helps me to fall asleep in the evening as well.

Even when the sky isn't clear, the sun magnificently causes small clusters of clouds to glow a beautiful peachy colour. Also the trails left behind by jet planes create some kind of unique glowing pattern in the refreshing dusk sky.

Not only do I enjoy sunsets whilst at home as a way to relax in the evening but also when I'm holiday. One of my favourite things to do is have a campfire on the beach whilst watching the sun set on the sea's horizon as the clean salty sea breeze sweeps around me. 

I hoped you enjoyed this post and be sure to stick around for more in the future! What's your favourite time of the day? :)

Favourite Things About Spring

I've never really had a favourite season, however Spring definitely comes near to the top as the weather gets warmer, the days get longer and my birthday's isn't far away.

One of the ultimate and exciting things about Spring is Easter, because who doesn't like an excuse to stuff your face with chocolate eggs? Easter also offers a whole range of activities for families and friends such as Easter egg hunts or baking Easter treats that you can later enjoy whilst spending quality time together with a coffee or hot drink. 

My next favourite thing is the warmer, sunny weather. The better weather immediately boosts my mood after being stuck inside for months because of the grey and dull weather of the winter. Going outside always uplifts my mood which I'm now able to do more often and if I'm lucky I sometimes get a tan. Spring is like a bit of brightness after a long dull winter that seems to last forever along with the Christmas blues. 

Not only does the weather improve but the days get longer which has always made me happy. It's like the day is tricking you into thinking you have more time to get things done, which effectively stops me from stressing out. Along with the long days comes mild evenings that are perfect for barbecues with family and friends and to chill out with a glass of wine in the garden. 

In addition to the better weather comes the blossom on the trees and flowers blooming. The gardens and parks are magically transformed into places of colourful rainbows and trees turn into beautiful formations of pastel colours and fresh greenness. It's always clear that Spring is here as soon as places seem to become more colourful.

To make the most of the splendid weather I find myself doing schoolwork outside a lot more than usual, mainly because the sun is mild enough to give me a light tan and doesn't burn my skin and also because being outside makes me feel a lot more awake whilst working. The area outside is more open as well which helps when I'm working as I don't feel trapped in a small working area or room.

What's your favourite thing about spring? :)
