As of recently, I have put myself on a clothing ban. I am not buying any clothes, except if there are workout clothes on sale for dirt cheap! This means no work clothes, no casual clothes, not even clothes preparing me for winter. I was looking around for new workout clothes (not that I have the money to buy them) for inspiration and motivation to lose weight, and these are a few of the items that caught my eye (SQUAT GOALS?! um.. YES!). I found out that Boohoo actually has some SUPER cute items of workout gear, at a super reasonable price, so that is why I have featured a few of their products above!

On the topic of clothing bans, I thought i would share few tips that have helped me declutter my wardrobe, and prepare me for when I eventually lose the weight, and won't need all these unnecessary items.

I spent four hours last Sunday going through every single item of clothing I own and putting them into separate piles. This is my first tip when decluttering, as it makes the process runs smoothly. I have one pile that needs to be chucked (this includes anything with really bad stains, or cuts, holes, tears etc that can't be salvaged), another pile for donation, and another pile for things you want to keep but don't fit right now.

Another helpful tip is when you are going through every item of clothing, ask yourself "Have I worn this in the last 6 months?" "does it fit?" "does it suit my style?" "Is it sentimental?" If the answer is no to all of them, then BYE BYE clothes.

When it comes to things that don't fit ( if you are going through a weight loss journey like myself) only keep items that either hold sentimental value to you (Formal dress, significant birthday dress, hand me downs from parent and grandparent etc) or items that you really need to keep around. I got rid of a LOT of stuff that didn't fit, and besides the few sentimental items, i kept all of my QLD Red's Jerseys, and a few other items of clothing that still suited my style that I wanted to keep for future use.

I felt so refreshed and clean after purging my unwanted and non needed clothes, especially when you know they are going to a better home, where they will be used, and not collecting dust.

Long story short, I am NOT buying any clothes till i start to lose weight as its just pointless to do so now if in a few months the clothes won't fit.

Blogging is such an important creative outlet for me. I am a very creative person, and I feel so much more in control of my life when I am blogging. I feel like I am more happy, and willing to improve, when I am putting myself out on the line and blogging about my experiences.

• Work out a schedule, and upload a post every week or two weeks. 
• Create more content about mental health and (hopefully) reach out to people who need guidance and help on their journey.

Lorna Jane is hands down one of my favourite Workout brands ! Albeit slightly on the more expensive side of things, the products are of HIGH quality and last forever!! So I guess you could say they are 100 % worth the money. Lorna Jane is CONSTANTLY bringing out new designs, so i thought I would share with you a few of the things I am currently lusting over.

1. Spot Me Active Tank - I love the deign of this tank! To me, its glam, but not over the top! I love the polka dot design, and its grey...which is one of my favourite colours in workout clothes!

2. New Beginnings Tank - The quote on this is absolutely PERFECTION. "365 new days. 365 New Beginnings" I love love love this quote! Every day is a blessing, and every day is a chance to start new, or to try something new!

3. The new design of Active Living Bracelet was launched in promotion to the Active Nation day, 2015. I own one of their older designs and I love to wear it, to promote Lorna Jane and active living!

4. LJ Sporty Mesh visor - With the Australian summer hitting full force, a hat/visor is a necessity to not only protect your scalp, and face from the sun, but also to give a little bit of shade from the bright UV rays. I prefer visors as I can still wear a high pony tail or bun while wearing it :)
