Welcome...

 

Everyone calls me Yasmin. I truly hate saying 'My name is...', I find it all too formal. I'm a graduate in business and have no interest in it whatsoever. I'm a huge fan of photography and to be honest, that is what I should have studied. 24 years of age and I still have done nothing about it but I suppose it's never too late to start. Nonetheless, I am grateful for the field that I currently work in, which applies my skills in the business department of a Private Montessori School, meaning my role can differ time to time. I deem that a good thing as it keeps me on my toes. No one likes a lazy sod at work, however, it's a different story as soon as the clock hits 5pm and I'm home. Take off the smart clothes and into the baggy tee's; the ultimate lazy girl wear! My family would agree with that!

I'll give you a heads up, expect to read about all things healthy and keeping fit (amongst others). Not that I'm the fittest of all people but I do try. Trying is the main part! One who tries will get there eventually. It may take time but hard work will pay off one day. This goes for everything in life if you really think about it. It's all about having a goal!

I've been reading blogs and watching YouTube at every possible chance I get for the past 4 years and I can whole heartedly say I'm obsessed. 2015! New Year! New Beginnings! So here's to trying something new and the best part is... its with my beautiful best friend.
 

 

I differ from Yasmin (or Yas as I like to call her), I don’t mind saying ‘my name is’; to me knowing a person’s name is the beginning of getting to know them. So, my name is Mohini, I’m 23 and I live in London. I am a Law (LLB) graduate and currently a full-time student, studying to become a solicitor. I know what you’re thinking, everyone hates lawyers and think they are boring!! But honestly lawyers aren’t that bad and studying law is interesting (well most of time). However, it is very intense and academic and has so many rules, which is quite ironic because I never really liked rules when I was younger. God, my mum would vouch for that, I always did things my way and my dad quite affectionately called me ‘chumpa’ which in gujarati means madam. I guess you could say I was a sassy child.

I love all things beauty, fashion, food and wine! (I blame my cousins for that last one!). I’ve wanted to start a blog for the longest time but just didn’t have courage to do so. But it is a new year and that means new starts right? So it’s the perfect time to start a blog with my amazing best friend (I couldn’t let her call me beautiful and not compliment her too!! We do sound very cheesy don’t we?!).

Well now that we’ve got the introductions over and done with (hope it wasn’t too long!), here’s how we met.. at school (did you guess that? Yeah no surprise really huh?). We sort of got stuck with each other in our health and social care class in year 10. We knew of each other but didn’t really speak and we knew absolutely no one else in that class, hence the ‘stuck’ part. But it all turned out well, we’ve been best friends ever since!! Like our friend said the other day; if you see Yasmin, Mohini’s not too far behind and vice versa!

We’ll be writing about beauty products, fashion in general and our adventures around London and possibly other places. Those adventures will quite heavily be focused on food, coffee, tea and wine. Hope you enjoy!!
