5 Blogs That Inspire the Wanderlust Gypset Within

Lately I've noticed a shift. A change in the winds.

I've found it on my travels when laughing with strangers and looking towards new horizons. The connections with like-minded-travellers as we chat the magic of crystals and witness the hatchings of new collaboration ideas. It all seems so bright and malleable - these future memories and more importantly, this exact moment.

Sometimes though, the ways of the old creep in and a little piece of negative information gets through the crack. So on those days, I focus on replenishing my artistic soul in making jewelry pieces, reading books or playing my guitar. Listening to music with some good wine and colourful food and stalking my favourite blogs is more than enough to get me right back on track to the never-ending, sun-chasing road trip that is the Gypset wanderlust mind-set.

I'll be putting a spotlight on each of these inspiring blogs over the next few weeks, but for now, here's my top 5 to get you stalking!

5 Blogs That Inspire the Wanderlust Gypset Within...

This Year I Will....

This year I will...

Live more simply. Quality over quantity. Need over Want.

I'm not so much of a New Years Resolution girl, as I am an Always Resolution girl...

Generally, I've got a lot of things on the go - goals to reach, things to achieve - so I don't need another list.

But the start of a new year is a great time to look around and take stock, and see if there's anything you'd like to change about your life... You feel fresh and ready to tackle anything! So these are a few things I'm going to really consider as I weave through the next trip around the solar system...

This year I will...

Trust that it will all work out. Because I know who I am.

This year I will...

Trust and act on my instincts, speak up and ask for what I want.

This year I will...

Eat clean and get creative with food!

This year I will...

Accept that for the highs, there must be lows.

And trust the balance.

This year I will...

Quit waiting for things. For people. For situations.

That will never change.

This year I will...

Dedicate more time to the peeps I love. Just coz.

This year I will...

Look for the unseen, and find the magic in everything

This year I will...

Nurture my inner child and dream new dreams.

This year I will...

Have patience. Be still in the moment.

Be happy that I have the moment at all.

This year I will...

Embrace the bohemian-psychedelic-gypsy-hippie that my heart has always been.

And I will be free.

When you allow the ideals and opinions of everyone else to fall away, the walls begin to crumble. The doors begin to open. You see more. You feel more. You are more. This is the moment when you get a glimpse of who you truly are in this current existence.

Then it's up to you which path you choose.

The universe will only expose you to your true self a certain number of times before it accepts that you've turned your back on everything you came here for.

Don't ignore it.

That gut feeling you've got. That intuition.

It's real and it's your inner-awesomeness trying to get out.

The more you follow your instincts, the more that will be exposed.

Be exactly who you want to be. That's who you are. At the very core, you are YOU. And you are fucking awesome.

Top 5 MUST Read Blogs

I don't get a lot of time to flounce through the world of blogs anymore, firstly because I am doing things that I love ITRW, and secondly because of the sheer amount of blogs that exist now. I'll admit, I miss the days of discovery when you had to dig deeply through the rabbit hole to find the gems... When blogs about art, true coments on fashion, philosophy and babein models were few and far between - but they really conjured up magic inside my heart.

I'll also admit I feel like I've lost a little magic.

Time to retrace the steps back to the end of the rainbow.

Here's a handful of magical blogs that never disappoint. Thought I'd share my faves with you - they let me disappear for a moment and they inspire me and they're just friggin' cool. OK?!
